“I have thought about your wedding day before you are born!” Mrs. Brooks said smilingly, “Where is Sarah?”
“Mom, she dares not come down!” Liam shook his head and laughed, “Maybe she is too shy because her son reveals her secret, she is embarrassed!”
William turned his head and looked at Sherry, he held her shoulder affectionately, “Wifey, let’s get our marriage certificate today!”
Sherry patted his hand, her face flushed, “Don’t be kidding! Tell Sammy the important thing quickly!”
“I don’t care, I want to get it today!” William had made up his mind, then he turned his sights to look at Liam, “Liam, ask Sarah to come down, we have to settle Sammy’s matter today!”
Liam turned his head to look at William and became serious, “Ok! I ask her to come down now!”
“I’m coming!” Sarah changed her clothes, her face flushed before she got down the stairs.
Just then, everyone looked at her, she was so surprised that she nearly fell down the stairs. Luckily, Liam took quick action to hold her, “Oh my God, can you be careful a bit?”
Sarah was speechless and became even embarrassed.
Liam was stagnated when he saw her red face, his sights were deep but he said hurriedly in front of everyone, “No one laughs at you.”
“What?” Sarah nearly bit her tongue, she was nervous and said hurriedly, “I am not shy, Sherry, William, both of you have come!”
Sarah quickly walked toward Sherry.
“Ms Brooks’ face is reddened!” Sammy smiled.
Sarah’s face became even red, she hugged Sammy, buried his small face in his chest, “You laugh at me too!”
“Sammy, you should not call her Ms Brooks!” Sherry said to Sammy after thinking for a while.
Joshua Brooks and Mrs. Brooks including Liam stopped breathing, Sarah was shy and raised her head.
“Should I call her aunt?” Sammy asked with an innocent face.
“No!” Sherry shook her head.
Sammy gazed at Sherry with his black eyes, he then looked at Sarah, he showed an obedient expression that could break others’ heart. They were worried that the child would be hurt if he knew the truth.
Sammy looked at Sherry and William with confusion, then he looked at Dan, Dan walked towards them, “Sammy, I tell you! Mommy says that this aunt is your mother, Mr Brooks is your father!”
“Do I have two parents then?”
“She is your biological mother, Mr Brooks and Ms Brooks have given birth to you, Sammy!” Dan patted Sammy’s shoulder like a little adult, “Don’t worry, it means that you have extra mommy and daddy, grandpa and grandma, Sammy, how happy you are! You have so many relatives all at once.”
It was a serious matter, everyone was worried about it, Dan could say it out so simple.
Sarah raised her head to look at Sammy, her eyes reddened.
“Call her mommy!” Dan urged him, “She is your mommy!”
Sammy opened his eyes big, everyone thought that he was shocked but surprisingly, the little fellow burst into a triumphant laugh, “Can I live in two houses in the future? Sherry, can I?”
He turned to look at Sherry, Sherry nodded, “Of course! But Sammy, she is your biological mommy!”
Sammy got closer to Sarah, he looked at her, smiled while narrowed his eyes, “Are you my mommy too?”
Sarah nodded with tears.
Sammy looked at Liam, “You are my daddy?”
Liam’s heart almost jumped out from his body, “Yes, my son, I’m your daddy!”
“Oh Yeah! That’s great, you can help me to build my toy in the future. Even if I spoil my toy, daddy will not be fed up every time I ask you to fix it?” Sammy did not show a sad face, instead, he asked excitedly.
“Yes!” Liam promised.
“That’s great, daddy, let’s build a robot upstairs!” Sammy said while held Liam’s hand, wanted to go upstairs.
“Sammy, don’t forget your mommy!” Sherry reminded him.
Sammy turned his head, he saw Sarah covering her face and looked at Sammy with pitiful face. He walked towards Sarah and said softly, “Mommy…”
Sarah’s tears fell when Sammy called her mommy, she wanted to cry. She never enjoyed such a blissful moment before. She did not expect it to happen in the past but for now, her happiness reached out to her so sudden, she was so surprised that she did not know how to respond.
She quickly lowered her head, her eyes reddened. Sammy walked towards her and helped her to wipe away her tears, “Why does mommy cry?!”
“I accompany you to build the robot, Sammy!” Dan held his little hand, “Let both daddies and mommies to get married, we play together, can or not?”
“Where do I live in the future?”
“My good boy, of course you will live with grandpa and grandma, grandma will cook something delicious for you!” Mrs. Brooks was so delighted.
Sherry thought of them out of the blue, “Sammy, this is your grandpa and grandma. Good boy, call them!”
Sammy walked towards Mrs. Brooks and called, “Grandma!”
Joshua could not wait and get closer. Sammy looked at him, smiled and held his neck, “Grandpa, will you tell stories to me every day?”
