"Well the egg comes from the mummy and the seed comes from the daddy, when they get together a baby is made, it needs to grow a bit more in the tummy of mummy," Glen explained as simply as he could to his son. "But how did they get together. Is that how aunty Kate has a baby in her tummy?" Arthur continued his line of questioning as Glen shook his head, god this evening really was turning out to be the night he hadn't expected.

"How does a baby get inside of a stomach of mummy? Can boys have a baby as well?" Arthur asked as Glen closed his eyes for a split second, in the back of his mind he could hear the familiar laughter of Kate. God, she would laugh her ass off if she ever found out of that he could be certain.

"Well when mummy and daddy love each other very much, they get together and kiss and touch. I'll tell you later how that happens, but it's how a baby is made." Glen explained, he wasn't going to explain sex to his five-year-old. He wouldn't do that to him and he wished to not make this evening anymore awkward than it already was.

"Did that happen when I was made?" Arthur asked with a curious expression and tilt of his head. "Yes, it did," Glen confirmed with a smile, running a hand through his son's hair. "Did you and mummy love each other a lot when you made me?" Arthur asked him with a smile on his face as he cupped his father's head in between his small hands. "We did little man, I loved your mummy and still love your mum a lot sweetheart," Glen told him, kissing the top of his son's head.

"Will you make another baby, can I have another brother or sister. Luke is great, but I want a little baby brother or sister like Charlotte or the new baby?" Arthur asked him in a hopeful tone as Glen gave him a small smile.

"When the time is right, mummy and I will have more babies, not yet though," Glen reassured him, he'd love to have more children with Kate. She'd done a brilliant job with Arthur and she was a brilliant mother, no matter what her family had tried to convince her of the previous weekend. He'd love to have a little girl, to be able to live through a pregnancy, he'd missed so much with Arthur. He would never be able to make up for it, but he didn't want to miss it with another one of his children.

"Good, I love you too daddy, you and mummy," Arthur whispered, snuggling into his dad's chest. "I love you to my sweet boy, you and you're mum and Luke. The three of you are the most important people to me." Glen whispered as Arthur's arms squeezed him a bit tighter.

The next evening he was at a restaurant, a good friend of his had closed his restaurant, but then again. It was filled with people, his friends and family, all there to meet the boy he'd missed for so long. To introduce him to his friends and family, to let all of them get to know the special boy that was his son. He missed Kate and hated the fact that he couldn't introduce her to everyone just yet. But he understood that the hen party was something which had been planned for a while now.

Kate, on the other hand, was on her way to the restaurant. They'd left the Soho Farmhouse, late that afternoon, but instead of driving back to Kensington, Meghan had driven her car to KP after dropping her off at the airport. The three of them had simply told her to go to her boyfriend and son. They understood her desire to be with them and had told her to go, promising that she could pick up her car at KP.

So she'd rushed to Dublin, she knew the place where they were having dinner, it was a place of Glen's friend. And it was in a hurry that she went to it. She could see the people moving inside as she rushed to the entrance door and nudged it open. She noticed her son sat on the lap of his grandmother being spoiled and held. Glen was over with friends of his, talking, but his eye kept wandering to his son once in a while. Then she noticed that another young man was sat next to Arthur and she realised it must be Luke, his other son. She hadn't had a chance to meet him yet, but he seemed to be getting along marvellously with Arthur. Well, at least he'd get off of her back in his desire to get a baby brother or sister.
