"Of course, I am! I'm Mommy's daughter, she's a great singer too!" Mackie chirped.

"Are you guys done with dinner?" Chloe asked as she walked out of Vernon's bedroom. She rubbed her eyes and yawned while staring at Vernon and Mackie, who were busy having their bonding time together.

"Mommy!" Mackie pushed herself away from Uncle Vernon and rushed to hug her Mommy. "Were you sleeping, Mommy? I'm sorry that my singing wakes you up. Uncle wants to prove that I can sing!"

"Sing?" Chloe looked at Vernon, who shrugged.

"She just said that she can sing, so I want proof," Vernon said. He glanced at Mackie, who put her finger on her lips, indicating her Big bad Uncle not to tell Mommy about the teacher-parent meeting, so Mommy wouldn't try to stop Uncle from attending school.

Thus, Vernon decided to change the topic.

"Anyway, are you alright, honey?" Vernon asked. He grabbed her hand while looking up at her, checking if Chloe looked ill. "I saw you sleeping soundly in my bedroom. Are you sick?"

"Ah—N—Not at all, I'm not sick," Chloe replied. She quickly dodged Vernon's eyes so her secret wouldn't be revealed so soon. "I'm just tired after cooking so much stuff for our dinner."

Vernon went silent instantly.

It was painfully obvious that Chloe was hiding something because Chloe wasn't a good liar. She had many subconscious gestures that she always did whenever she was nervous when she tried to lie.

He didn't know what Chloe hid from him, but he never liked it.

He wanted Chloe to never hide anything from him, so his heart would be at peace and he could help her in a dire situation.

But he didn't want to argue with Chloe in front of their daughter, so he nodded and said, "Well, why don't we continue our dinner? You should eat too, Chloe."

"Right, I should, I don't want my—nevermind," Chloe curled her lips as she tried to seal her mouth from speaking the truth and then went to put Mackie on the chair before sitting on a chair next to Mackie's.

She began to eat and tried to ignore Vernon's scrutinizing gaze.

Chloe knew she wasn't good at lying or hiding the truth, but she wanted it to be a surprise.

So they ate in silence for about an hour until they were done.

"I'm so full! Thank you for the dinner, Mommy. It was good!" Mackie said as she patted her belly. She hopped off the chair and said, "I'll go to my room! I still have homework to do!"

Chloe smiled and patted her daughter's head, "Yes, you should go to sleep after finishing your homework. I'll go check on you and your homework later. Good night, sweetie."

"Night, Mommy!" Mackie said cheerfully. She then looked at Uncle Vernon and said, "Night, Uncle!"

"Mm, don't be scared of monsters under your bed, I always chase them away every night," Vernon said.

"Hehe, thank you, Uncle!"

rushed downstairs. She couldn't believe that her little girl would eventually become a big sis—.

Chloe and Vernon watched as the little girl went downstairs.

Chloe smiled as she saw the little girl's jet-black hair swaying as she rushed downstairs. She couldn't believe that her little girl would eventually become a big sis—.

"Chloe."

Chloe turned her head towards Vernon when he called her.

His eyes were peering suspiciously at her, and he crossed his arms to show his displeasure, "Tell me what you have in mind."

"W—What do I have in mind?"

"Yes, you know that you're a bad liar, right?" Vernon said straight to the point. "No need to hide something from me, you know that my mind is always in chaos whenever you try to hide things from me."

Chloe didn't expect Vernon to be so honest.

Usually, he would put up that angry face whenever Chloe tried to hide something, which scared her so much.

But Chloe preferred this honest version of Vernon, and she knew she should also be honest.

Thus, Chloe got up from the dining chair and walked around the dining table toward Vernon. She tried to reach his arm and pull him, trying to get him to stand up.

Vernon frowned.

He didn't know what Chloe wanted, but he got up anyway.

He stood in front of Chloe and looked down at her, still with his suspicious gaze, "So, are you ready to tell me what you are hiding?"

"I'm not trying to hide anything, Vernon. I was just thinking that it'd be better to tell you once it passed the first trimester, since I don't know if my body can handle this," Chloe sighed. "But since you're so worried about me hiding something, then I will let you know."

Chloe grabbed Vernon's wrist and guided his palm to reach her flat belly. Vernon was confused at first but soon realized it when Chloe looked at him meaningfully.

Vernon's eyes widened, "Chloe, are you—"

"Yes," Chloe nodded. "I just checked with a pregnancy test after I picked up the kids, and the result is… well… positive."

Vernon's jaw dropped.

It took a while for him to register the whole thing.

"D—Does that mean I'm… I'm going to be…."

Chloe giggled, "Yes, you're going to be a dad."

"OH GOD! OH MY GOD!" Vernon got excited as if he had just got a dopamine rush in his brain. He opened his arms and hugged Chloe so tightly.

He lifted Chloe by her waist and spun her around effortlessly, "I'M GOING TO BE A DAD! I'M GOING TO BE A DAD!"

Vernon kissed Chloe on the lips. Chloe could sense the excitement from his kiss, and thus they deepened their kiss until both were breathless.

Chloe and Vernon stared at each other once more, and the joy in their eyes was overflowing. Chloe was even surprised by how Vernon reacted.

She didn't expect him to be this excited, "My love, I—I don't know what to say right now."

"Just tell me that you want the child, Vernon," Chloe asked, seeking assurance.

"OF COURSE! I'm so happy that I don't know what to say!" Vernon said. "I just can't believe that I'm going to be a father."
