"Are you out of your mind?" - Aideen's mother shouted

"I didn't know she'll be pregnant" - His father replied calmly

"What the. Didn't you think what would Aideen feel about this? Gosh Edward I can't believe you." - his mother was furious

"He'll understand he a smart boy. They will grow up together." - his father said like it was nothing

"What? So you're telling me to accept them? In my house? Really Edward?" - His mother asked can't believe that his father would say that

"I didn't say you'll accept them what I mean as they will live here" - His Father insists.

"Damn you. I will not allow them. Never" - His mom said losing patience

"They will Veronica they will, and that's final. This is my house too" - His father's voice sounded like he's
Ordering His employee not his wife

"Edward please. Don't be like this" - Aideen's mom pleaded.

"If you can't handle it then I'm gonna buy a house for them and I'll often visit and sleep there."

"What? no, No"- Aideen's mom disagrees "Fine I'm gonna let them stay here. All of the women you get pregnant with. They will stay here."

"Ok. Sound fine."

"But it should be girls Edward. Make sure the babies are all girls or else." - His mom said "My son will be the only heir of the stone's"

While his mom and dad are busy arguing Aideen is reading a book in his room. Aideen can hear all of their shouts but he chooses not to care after all he's sick of his father's behavior.

"Why does my little prince still reading? It's bedtime already."- His mom entered his room

"You should knock first mom."- Aideen said normally like he didn't hear them a minute ago.

"You know Aideen you should marry a woman you truly love okay?"- His mother said

"Why are you thinking about that? I'm still 5 years old. I'm too young for that."- Aideen said then his mom just laugh.

"Once you grow up don't be like your dad. You must learn a lesson from him and that lesson, bury it in your head where no one can erase it."- His mom started to lecture him about life.

" Why would I do that mommy?"- Aideen asked innocently

"You know baby life is not just about being happy, life is more than that. If you are still Alive you will gonna suffer in pain, and that lesson that mommy told you to bury inside your heart will keep you guided. You should be careful on whom to trust honey. In this world, it's really difficult to trust cause even the person you truly trust might be your downfall Remember that"- With that Aideen nodded his head.
