Chapter 127
CHASE GOTTI
“Where is father?” I asked as soon as I saw Rowan and Waylen.
“The doctor is inside with him. They are doing their best, although he was hurt badly. ” Rowan said as I slid to the floor.
“Do you think he will survive?” I asked but as expected, I didn’t get any reply.
“I got coffee.” I heard Emma say as she walked towards us holding four coffee cups.
I immediately thought about what Calista told me about her being pregnant and I could not help but glance at her stomach.
It still look normal, it was normal for Waylen not to say anything now. So I pretended I didn’t know.
“Chase you are here finally. Where is Calista?. I got coffee for each and every one of you. Why did you not bring her along?” She asked as I shrugged.
“Umm, it didn’t really bother me then. Besides she is tired ” I lied.
I had no idea where Calista was, if she had gone home or if she was still in the penthouse or if she was looking for me. I took one of the coffee and drank as she gave to the rest.
Just then the door opened as the doctor walked out and we all surrounded him.
“Doctor, how is he? Is he going to be fine?” I asked before the rest could say it.
“He is awake now, he wants to see his sons.” The doctor said avoiding our questions and just took excuse and left.
I glanced at my brothers and they were waiting for me to take the first step so I took a deep breath and exhaled before walking inside.
And my brothers followed me inside. We saw our dad fixed to all this machines. He didn’t look so tough now. It was the first time that I was seeing pure exhaustion on my dad’s face.
“Hey Father, we are here” Rowan announced as his eyes fluttered open before he looked at us and nodded his head.
“Hey, how are you all doing?” He said as Waylen came forward and held his hands saying,
“You are the one that looks like shit right now. So get enough rest and get better okay. We need you. Besides they have to pay for what they did you to you.” He added as I walked closer as he looked at me.
“Chase. You are not saying anything.” He said slowly as I swallowed hard and said,
“My brothers are already conveying our mind to you. We need you back out there. Besides there are a lot of things that you can’t afford to miss out on. You are still young.” I said as he burst out laughing and coughing at the same time.
“Dad! Should I call the doctor?” Waylen said immediately as our dad shook his head and said,
“There is nothing they can do now. I know it’s my time. I am just delaying the inevitable. Come on, tell me things. Is there any good news?” He said as I looked away and Rowan rubbed his hand and said nothing.
“There is something you should know then. I was thinking of keeping it a secret till you were better. It’s not really the right time to say something like this” Waylen said slowly as we all looked at him.
I had an idea about what he was going to say but I didn’t dare say anything. This was his to do. He walked towards the door opened it and then brought Emma in before closing the door again as he said,Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
“Dad, I want to tell you that Emma….. well she is pregnant” He said waiting for my dad’s reaction.
Emma looked hurt seeing her boyfriend father like this as she walked closer to the bed and my dad reached his hand out and touched her stomach.
“It’s going to be twins. I just know it. I am really happy. This is good news” He said as Rowan was stunned. His mouth was wide open as he said,
“Wow, this is huge, congratulations bro. This is really huge. Why aren’t you surprised at all?” This question was directed at me as everyone looked at me and I scratched my head.
“Umm, Calista already informed me earlier” I said sheepishly as Waylen raised an eyebrow and said,
“And how does Calista know, we just confirmed it this morning before coming here.”
“I may have called Calista and told her that I was pregnant” Emma said sheepishly as we all laughed.
“It is not a big deal. Women were always know for not being able to keep quiet. Besides about Calista. She is a good girl. I hope things between both of you work out.” My dad said facing me as he held my hand and took us all with his other hand.
“I am happy that you guys are my sons. I know there are some days that we don’t get along and sometimes we feel like killing one another but I never said this. All of you made me proud and will continue to make me proud. Chase take care of them.. remember family first. And I hope you move on from the past. It only hurts. Waylen you got a big responsibility now. You are going to go through what I went through with your mum. Always keep her safe and happy. Emma respect your boyfriend and follow his instructions and cut him some slack, he doesn’t know what he is doing at times. And Rowan, you can do what you want. There is just no limits to what you can do if you put your mind to it. Okay. ” He said as we all nodded our heads.
“Well I think it’s time for me to go. Always remember boys, love is greater than war. Always show forgiveness to your enemies if they ask for it. Not everything has to end in blood. I love you boys” that was the last statement he made before the life machine dropped, leaving me shattered.
