Gabrielle hadn't seen that question coming. She couldn't figure out how to answer Remy's question. She could only look at Westley for help.
"Remy, Gabrielle and I love each other so much and we'll have our own kids. Star will be the oldest," said Westley naturally, with Gabrielle in his arms.
That was sufficient to make Remy chill out. And he did.
"I'm relaxed now. You know Miley will get pissed if you two don't make your own babies," Remy said exaggeratedly.
"Why would they be mad? Wilson and Bonnie have Tammy, they are content enough for a granddaughter. And whether or not to have a child is ultimately our decision, they can't have a say about this. You are not urging us to have a baby for them, are you? How can you do this, Remy! Who are you doing this for? Grandma or my mom?" Westley asked directly.
"Stop overthinking. I am not doing this in the interest of either of them, and I can't be one of those friends that disgust people by talking about children. I was just worried that you may not be intending to have your own child after adopting Star. Candidly speaking, that's exclusively your business, forgive my curiosity." He said this because he had regard for them. Remy had never been the kind of person you'd find gossipy.
"We should stop talking about that. What should we eat for supper?" Gabrielle switched the topic. She was no longer interested in talking about having children.
Despite the fact that Remy cared about them, it was a rather uncomfortable topic for Gabrielle, especially when talking with two men about it.
"I've already placed an order, which will be delivered soon. Go back to your room and wash up. Dinner should be here by then." Remy walked back to his room after that.
Since dinner was on its way, courtesy of Remy, the two of them went upstairs to shower knowing they had all the time.
Westley reclined in the bathtub with Gabrielle in his arms, carefully massaging her belly with his hand in the bathroom.
"Gabrielle, one day you will deliver our own baby, a cute baby, honey." Westley had never been as eager to be a father as he was then.
Gabrielle could do nothing to stop herself from laughing. "As soon as we are back in Antawood and everything is back to normal, let's make a baby, our baby."
"I'd also want that."
In the morning, they went out to buy presents for everyone. Gabrielle was worn out by the time they had completed purchasing all of the gifts.
"Gabrielle, you must be tired and starving by now. What would you like for dinner?" Westley pitied her when he saw the exhausted look on her face.
She had been having an awesome time shopping since this morning. She didn't feel any tired until they were done shopping. After they had shopped for everything, she felt as if all her strength had been drained.
"What
ever you like will do. Wait, I think I want steak." Gabrielle actually needed to refuel her body with some meat.
"We should be on our way then, honey." Westley took her hand into his and led her to the restaurant.
There were a lot of people in the restaurant since it was dinner time. They were lucky to find an open table.
No one recognized them here. They sat and ate casually, without fearing being stared at.
Westley cut the steak for Gabrielle and passed it to her when it was placed on the table.
"Gabrielle, here, spoil yourself."
"It looks so enticing. I'm dying to have it now. My legs and body are weak." Gabrielle bit on a chunk of steak and enjoyed it.
