The Cheating Millionaire

Chapter 4 telling the parents

SUMMERS POV

I walk into the front room where I hear top gear on the telly.

"What's your game now?" I ask Sean

"Oh your awake, and no game you fell asleep within 10 minutes of the car journey. You seemed so tired and, I didn't want to wake you up. I remembered you saying you brought a house, so I figured instead of carrying upstairs it would be easier to carry you here instead. I didn't want to risk falling on stairs even more so since your pregnant with our baby." Sean says.

He seems genuine, and I did fall asleep in the car I think to myself.

"You could have woken me up though! There was no need to bring me back here, this isn't my home any more." I say.

"Both of our names remain on the paperwork, so technically it's still your home also, don't worry I won't force you to stay but at least have something to eat first it's 8:40pm" Sean says

"You let me sleep so late?" I grumble

"You clearly needed the sleep!" Sean replies.

I head to the kitchen and put the kettle on.

As I go to get milk out I see lemon cheesecake, so I decided to grab that as well.

"Since when did you like lemon cheesecake?" Sean asks walking into the kitchen looking amused at the cheesecake within my hands.

"Since little princess decided to crave it 3 months ago" I say while continuing to get a spoon out.

"She clearly has daddy's taste buds Sean" says smiling

"That's where the cucumber dipped in yogurt, must have come from then! Your stupid taste buds" I say turning to face Sean with a raised eyebrow.

"Yuck no! That's definitely not me!" Sean says laughing

"You still drink coffee Black?" Sean asks

"No tea 1 sugar with milk" I say between a mouthful of the cheesecake.

Sean finishes making the tea while I continue to devouring the cheesecake.

"I will replace the cheesecake" I say between a bite, and I'm half debating to stop but the shops on my way home to grab enougher cheesecake.

"No need, whatever baby wants baby gets! Plus I don't mind sharing" Sean says.

"Little princess you start as soon as I wake up, huh?" I say placing my hand on my stomach rubbing it to try calm her kicking down.

"What's she doing?" Sean asks

"Moving and kicking" I say rubbing my stomach with one hand while holding the remainder of my cheese in my other hand.

"Can I feel please?" Sean asks in a pleading tone.

"Here, place your hand here." I say

Sean puts his hand on my stomach and with seconds little princess is kicking

"Oh wow, that's amazing and feels powerful as well" Sean says

"She can hear our voices as well, she likes music and moves around and kicks like mad when music is played." I say finishing off the cheesecake.

Not only that, but I then grab my tea and head for the front room. Sean just follows behind me like a lot little sheep

"If you give me your car keys, As I'm assuming there's one of my cars downstairs still. I can take my stuff from the car to mine, then drive home after this" I say.

"It's okay I can drive you" Sean says.

I go to put my cup on the side table but notice our engagement party picture still there. I decide, I don't want to look at it again and too just to keep hold of my cup and sit down instead.

"All the pictures are still up" Sean says

"I noticed" I mumble.

"That was the second-best day of my life, our engagement party" he says

"Was you fooling around then?" I ask.

I didn't want to know, but I also did at the same time. It's been one question that's bugged me the whole time. How long and how many women did he cheat on me with. I look at Sean without blinking as I await his response.

"No, when you caught me was the second and last time and the only person I did it with" Sean says with a guilty looking face. And so he should feel guilty I think to myself.

"Well at least the whole time I wasn't played for a mug then" I say.

"You were never the mug! I was the mug for doing something so stupid. By the end of the day she was history gone and Josh became my secretary a few days later! She meant nothing to me ever!" Sean says.

"Hmm" Is all respond.

"Summer I know you don't believe me, but I swear not a single day has gone by where I haven't hated myself or regretted what I did to you. You're the only women I've ever loved and will ever love I know that for a fact" he says.

"I don't want to hear it Sean, I didn't come back to London for this. I came back to give you the chance to be a dad, I may hate you, but it doesn't mean our daughter should be without a father as well. So although It's hard to sit here and look at engagement photos I'm only doing it for our daughters' sake. It's not her fault her father can't keep it zipped, but it doesn't mean I can keep her from you or you from her that wouldn't be right either. So I came back only for that reason." I say with a serious face.

"And I will be forever grateful you did come back, because I don't want to miss out on her life as much as you don't want to. I will do whatever it takes to prove to you that I won't ever mess up again where ever you or our daughter is concerned. Even if you hate me forever, I will be stood afar still loving you and doing whatever I can to try to make your life better no matter what it is" Sean says without even taking his eyes off me looking like he is in a serious business meeting.

"Well, since your serious, I have a growth scan on little princess tomorrow booked in. If you really don't want to miss anything you can come along also it's at 10:30am though" I say.

Sean hugs me while saying "Thank you!."

"I didn't agree to hugging, when I offered you a chance to see her at a scan" I say.

Sean quickly backs off saying "sorry, but he will 2000000% be there."

I drink me tea.

"Hey, do you fancy pizza? I'm starving I waited ages for you to wake" Sean says.

"You didn't have to wait for me to wake up to eat." I say

"I know, but I didn't think you would sleep that long and figured you would be hungry when you woke up as you hadn't eaten since I've seen you arrive until 20 minutes ago." Sean says.

SEAN'S POV

I can see Summer is debating my question.

"Any pizza you want I'm ordering for myself anyway and promise to take you home afterwards." I say trying to persuade Summer to stay a little longer.

"Okay it's would be too late to cook when I get in any way" summer says.

"Okay what do you want?" I ask.

"Pineapple with Chinese chicken on top is fine please" Summer says.

I quickly ring through the pizza order getting meat feast for myself.

When I get off the phone Summer says "she is going to ring her mum quickly."

"Okay then I shall go scrub myself in the shower while waiting for food, apparently I'm dirty" I say getting up to leave the room. Summer just looked at me as of she was debating to say anything or not but then continued to get her phone out as I excited the loving room.

I didn't really want a shower but since Summer would be on the phone anyway I figured I'd have one quickly to pass the time.

Secretly I'm just stalling time by getting pizza in, and I'm willing to pull any kinda stunt to have more time with Summer. So far it's paying off as I'm now going along to the scan tomorrow.

Which prompted me to quickly send Josh a text saying 'I wouldn't be in work tomorrow morning to cancel any appointments.'

I quickly had a shower and dressed into black jeans, light blue t-shirt. Then headed back to the front.

"Good timing pizza literally just turned up" Summer says, placing the pizza boxes on the table.

"That was fast it only took 25 minutes." I say looking at the time.

"Yeah, now hurry up and eat I want to go home" Summer says.

She continually wants to hurry up and leave me so soon, while I want time to slow down. Clearly this is karma for what I've done I think to myself.

I take a seat next to Summer and flick through the channels. I see kindergarden cop has just started a few minutes ago, so I leave it on that.

"How's the business?" I ask Summer as we dig into the pizzas.

"There good, I hired someone to oversee everything while I'm on maternity leave, but I still check in a few times a week" she says.

"That's good" I say.

I hate how I have to think of conversation, I miss how things didn't use to be this awkward where Summer would sit talking about everything with me for hours. I think up what else I can say to make conversation while I'm on my 4th slice of pizza.

" I'm surprised your mum didn't fly back with you" I suddenly say the moment I think of it.

"Don't worry my parents are flying in two weeks time, to be here for little princes's arrival." Summer says.

That reminds me, I have yet to tell my parents of this news I think. And I'm certainly not looking forward to meeting with summers parent again. I may have to hire 4 bodyguards from Kenny Ballard.

" What about your brother?" I ask.

"He will drive down from Leeds once she arrives, he is busy opening up his 14th restaurant up there" she says.

Make that 10 bodyguards! I think to myself.

"Actually talking about family's, I plan on seeing your mum next week, and how is your sister? Also, if you want to tell them I'm pregnant you should do it before I ring your mum asking to meet up" Summer says.

"I will tell them by the end of tomorrow night. And Lisa is doing good at college next year she is going to uni to start her nursing degree" I say.

"She will make an excellent nurse, it's always been her dream" Summer says smiling.

"She sure will!" I say agreeing.

"Okay I'm ready to go home now" Summer says seeing I finished my pizza off.

"Okay, I did say I'd take you home after food, and I'm a man of my word" I say standing up to get my jacket.

"Only when it suits you" Summer mumbles under her breath standing up.

I pretended I didn't hear it not wanting to cause enougher argument.

The car ride was quite on the way to dropping Summer off. I refused to allow Summer to carry any bags inside, I left them at the top of the stairs. From what I could see of the house it's modern but cosy. I then decided to go to my parents house before going home.

I walk in and see my dad in the front room watching some western film.

"Hey dad where's mum?" I ask.

"In bed, how come your over so late Sean?" My dad asks.

"Can you get mum up? Its best if I tell you both together." I say.

"What's happened is it the company?" He asks why worry written all across his face.

"No! That's better than ever please just get mum up." I say.

"You're not ill, are you? You only insist on things like this when something is wrong son, tell me what's wrong I'm worried now." My dad says starting to pace around the room.

"No dad! I'm in good health, but it's big news you should both hear it together and from me" I say.

"Alright I will go get your mum" he says running out the room and up their stairs.

Within minutes there both running back down the stairs.

"Sean what's happened? Tell me" my mum says in her best soothing motherly voice. It's like I'm 6 years old again and hurt my knee.

"Well remember when summer left?" I say.

"Yes I remember exactly why she left you little twit!" my mother says going from cornered mum to angry mum mode.

"Alright Karen, let him speak" my dad chimes in.

"Well Summer showed up at my office that day, to tell me something big but after what I did she ran away until today." I say.

"Summers back?" my dad asks looking shocked by this.

"Yes that's what he said, now you shh! I want to know what's so big!" my mum says giving my dad a stern look.

"Well she showed up today 8 months pregnant." I say nervously.

"Oh, my a grand baby Tom did you hear that" my mum days before turning to me and looking excited but then her face quickly turns to angry, and I brace myself for what's coming next.

"Oh, you bloody fool, you got Summer pregnant then cheated on her! How could you do that to Summer!? No wonder she ran away!" my mum starts shouting at me.

"So what are you going to do about it, you could have had a wife and family unit by now, but instead you made a mess!" my dad adds.

"Well so far Summer hates me still, but says she came back, so I can be a father if I wish, which obviously I want!" I quickly add.

"Well at least she acknowledged what the right thing is to do unlike you did" my dad says.

"I know! I was a damn fool, but I'm determined to win them both back for good so instead of yelling at me help me" I say.

"And how is Summer and the baby?" my mum ask.

"Well apparently good but the baby girl is a little on the small side." I say

"Small how come?" My dad asks concerned

"I don't know, Summer said she has a scan tomorrow, and I'm allowed to go maybe I can find out more then." I say

"I will come with you" my mum says.

"No mum, Summer has said she will be ringing you soon to arrange a catch-up next week and warned me if I wanted to break the news to you first I should hurry, otherwise she would." I say.

"I always liked that girl" my dad says.

"Yeah me to, and our i***t of a son better fix his mistakes because I won't accept anyone else as daughter-in-law" my mum says.

"Alright, I have something else I need dad ask" I say.

"What are you after now?" My dad asks.

"With the baby due in four weeks time I don't have much time to cancel or get someone to handle everything at work. Could you please come out of retirement for a few weeks, so I can step up and be there for my daughter and Summer?" I say.

"He will do it" my mum says.

"Fine but I want grandad cuddles pretty quickly" he grumbles.

"What's with all the shouting? I've got to be up early" Lisa says coming in.

"Sorry love, but you should ask your brother here" my dad says

"Well?" Lisa asks looking at me with her arms crossed looking annoyed that I've clearly woken her up.

"Summer returned today" I start to say

"She is back! finally, I missed our shopping days" Lisa cuts in.

"Yeah, she is back and 8 months pregnant with your niece." I say.

"AHH, a baby I'm going to be an auntie" Lisa starts shouting while happy dancing.

"Yes sorry for waking you." I say

"What you would have left me asleep! With such big news. Oh! You horrid brother" Lisa says faking a hurt expression.

"Okay well can we save the celebrations for enougher day? I should go home get some sleep, I don't want to be late tomorrow, I can't go screwing up at the first appointment I'm invited to" I say.

"Just stay here tonight" my dad says.

"Actually that's a good idea, I can make sure your up in the morning" my mum says.

"Okay, I may as well since I'm here already." I say as Lisa throws a cushion at me as she sits down while laughing.
