CHAPTER 70
Blair told her mom everything that happened with Samantha, from the day she found the false pictures to the day Samantha was arrested.
Her mom listened to her attentively.
“So that’s it, mom.” Blair finished. Her eyes shone as she spoke, but there was nothing more she could say.
“Wow, to think that I treated her like my daughter. I even let her sleep in this house several times. I’m so shocked and I’m glad that she didn’t hurt you and Dylan physically.” Her mom responded in amazement.
“Yes mom, I can’t really explain how I felt when I found out that she was behind everything. She never thought of me as her friend and it made me so sad, mom. But I guess everyone meets one or two fake people, right?” She laughed as she sipped her wine.
“I’m really sorry, Blair. I didn’t know that you were going through all of us. I wish you told us, we would have found a way to help you. I’m sorry my dear, I’m sorry that you lost a friend.” Her mother felt bad for what happened to Blair.
She blamed herself for not acting like a mother and trying to find out why her daughter barely spoke to her.
“It’s okay mom, don’t ever feel bad because it’s not your fault. I didn’t tell you, so you wouldn’t have known. It’s okay.” Blair smiled and squeezed her hand softly.
“My poor baby.” She pulled Blair into a hug and kissed her hair.
Blair chuckled and snuggled into her mom, they stayed like that for a few more minutes until Blair became emotional. She had not told her mom that she was pregnant.
“Mom, I have something else to tell you.” She announced.
“What is that?” Her mother smoothened her hair.
“I’m pregnant.” Blair closed her mouth immediately.
“Oh my God, Blair! Wow! You’re pregnant? Since when? How far along are you?” Her mom held both her hands.
“I found out a few days ago and It’s almost a month now.”
“Oh baby, you’re pregnant. I’m so happy for you, honey. This great news, in fact we’re making dinner to celebrate it. You are going to make a great mom too.” Her mom cooked.
“Thank you mom, I haven’t told Dylan yet though.”
She explained to her mom the reasons for not telling Dylan. Her mom advised her like Donna did.
Blair already decided that she would tell him on his birthday.
“You should tell him, sweetie.”
“Of course, mom. I’ll tell him tomorrow, I promise.”
“Alright then, let me know how it goes. We should start making dinner now, it’s getting late.” Her mom dragged her up.
Blair groaned.
“Okay, I’ll just text Dylan now. I’ll be with you in the kitchen soon.”
Her mom left to continue what she was doing in the kitchen. Anita was already grilling the chicken and she already made some side dishes.
Blair quickly texted Dylan, the time they were going to have dinner. Blair dropped her phone when she was done texting him, she went to help her mom.
They cooked for over an hour, Blair made famous grilled salmon. Her mom asked her to make it because she was so good at it.
After the cooking, Blair went up to her room to rest a bit and prepare for the dinner. Dylan already texted that he was on his way there.
Her room was arranged, exactly the way she left it. Her favorite stuffed animal, Miss Woodsy, was still there.
She smiled at the sight of all her stuffed animals and teddy bears. Blair dropped her bag on her bed and went to take a shower in her bathroom. Everything was still the same, her hair products and skincare products were on her shelves. Her towel and robe hung neatly on the rack.
Her parents must have left them because of the contract, they all thought she would be back home after a year.
Blair felt sad at the thought, she and Dylan loved each other and had no plans of getting a divorce. She knew her mom was aware but she was thankful that she didn’t try to break her heart with the truth.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.
Blair had her bath and got ready for dinner. She looked simple but elegant, her hair was curled loosely and her makeup was minimal.
She wore a simple yellow dress with gorgeous embroidery. The arm was elbow length and it was a v neck gown.
Blair took her phone and went down the stairs, Dylan was there with her parents already.
“Oh, there she is. I was about to come get you now sweetie, your dad is here, Dylan is here too. Hurry up, we’ve been waiting for you to come down.” Her mom said.
“Blair, my darling, come.” Her father called her.
” Dad.”
Blair smiled when she saw her father, she ran to hug him when she got downstairs.
“How are you my dear? This house has been so boring without you.” Her father complained.
“I’m fine, dad. I’ve missed all of you too, how are you?” She sat down beside him and they talked while they ate.
Blair barely acknowledged the fact that Dylan was there too. She was really into the conversation with her dad that she forgot about her husband.
Dylan on the other hand didn’t seem to mind because he was in a conversation with Blair’s mother.
The dinner went smoothly and everyone enjoyed themselves to the fullest.
When everyone settled down, Dylan sipped his wine on the balcony while Blair was with her father.
“I’m so sorry but this is how your wife and her father are, everytime. They never run out of things to discuss.”
“Wow, that is really good to hear. It’s great that she has that kind of bond with you guys, I mean it’s the best thing on earth right now.” He laughed.
“Yeah. Let me get myself a glass and join you, I’ll be right back.” Her mom laughed as well and went into the house.
Dylan wanted to propose to Blair but he didn’t know how to do it. Blair was having a discussion with her dad and he didn’t want to interrupt her. He decided that he would propose later, maybe at their house.
He just thought of scenarios where he would propose to her, he didn’t notice when she came into the balcony. She wrapped her arms around his torso.
“Hey, I’m sorry that I wasn’t with you throughout dinner.” She apologized.
“Hey, it’s okay. Uh, I wanted to ask you something.” He turned to face her and he dropped his wine on the pavement.
“What? Is everything okay?” She asked.
Dylan got down on one knee, and opened the ring pouch.
“Blair, I know we’re married and all but I wanted to give myself a chance of marrying you properly, marrying you again. The last time wasn’t proper, we didn’t love each other and we didn’t say any wedding vows but now I want to change that. So, Blair, will you do me the honors of becoming my wife, again? Will you please marry me?” His voice was gentle and soothing.
“Oh, Dylan, of course. I will marry you.” Dylan smiled and placed the ring on her pretty finger.
“I love you.” He kissed her.
“I love you, too.” She answered with a grin. There was clapping in the background, everyone in the house watched as they expressed their love for each other.
“Congratulations, my dear.” Her parents hugged her and Dylan.
“Who knew you’d really want to marry my daughter this time?” Her father chuckled.
The rest of the night was all fun and jokes, Blair and Dylan bid everyone goodbye and went back to their home.
When they got home, it was late and quiet, everyone had probably gone to bed. Blair and Dylan retired to bed too but not before making passionate love.
“I love you so much Blair, I cannot wait to marry you again.” Blair kissed her forehead.
“Me too.” She muttered sleepily.
Dylan chuckled.
~~~
Dylan’s birthday finally arrived, it was just like every other day. Dylan went to work, he acted normal and cool before he left.
Blair got out of bed early so that she could start fixing up the house for the birthday, they wouldn’t have to do much to keep Dylan away because he usually came home by past 7 or 8.
Tamara went over to their house to help Blair and Donna, they decorated the house and called the caterers and all the necessary people that needed to be called.
Blair had told Tamara that she was pregnant and that she planned to break the news to Dylan.
When it was past 6, they started receiving guests for the party, Aaliyah and Clara helped with that while Blair and Tamara went to get ready.
“I still can’t believe you’re pregnant.” Tamara grinned. She was doing her makeup.
“Sometimes I can’t believe it too, it seems so surreal and untrue.” She smiled as she curled the last strand of her hair.
They both looked beautiful, they could pass as beauty queens.
They headed back downstairs for the party and by the time they got there, the living room was filled with people.
Blair had invited close friends and family only. She even invited Jessica from her former office.
Tamara was the host of the party, along with Jason, Dylan’s friend.
“He’s coming!” Donna announced.
“Can you please turn off the lights!?” Jason shouted.
Donna turned on all the lights and everyone went still and quiet.
Dylan, unknown to him, opened the door and went into the house.
He was met with total darkness and quietness. Immediately he turned on the lights, everyone shouted ‘surprise’.
“Woah! What?” Dylan was really surprised to see lots of people in his house.
All of a sudden everyone started to sing him the birthday song. It was then that he remembered that it was his birthday. Dylan usually celebrated his birthdays alone or sometimes with his mom or his best friend or his godmother.
Nothing much really happened and sometimes he would even forget his birthdays on busy days. And today was one of those days.
“Thank you, everyone.” He smiled shyly.
“Give it up for the birthday man!” Jason screamed into the mike.
Blair walked towards him.
“Happy birthday, my love.” Blair kissed him.
“Thank you, Blair, I know you planned this whole thing.”
She blushed.
“Would you like to change clothes?” She asked.
“Yes, I’d like a shower too.” Blair followed him to their room. She waited for him to get ready.
Blair wanted to tell him about her pregnancy.
“How do I look?” He asked.
“Handsome, as always.” She moved towards him.
“You look beautiful, how did you even manage to do this and not tell me?” He was truly shocked.
“I’m pregnant.” She blurted it out while she was fixing his hair.
“What did you just say?”
“I’m pregnant, Dylan. We’re going to have a baby.”
Dylan covered his mouth with both hands.
“Jesus Christ, I fucking love you do much right now.” He hugged her immediately.
Blair was so relieved.
“Thank you so much Blair, you don’t know how much this means to me. I’m so happy right now, how far along?”
“A month now. Honestly I was so scared to tell you because I didn’t think you would like the idea, we never discussed having a baby or anything.”
“Why wouldn’t I like the idea? I love you and I want to be with you forever, it would be fun to have kids with you.” He kissed her forehead.
“Really?” She asked.
“Yes baby, come here.” He hugged her gently, like she was an egg that was going to break.
“You have a party, Dylan. We should go back downstairs.”
“Good idea.” They both laughed and headed downstairs.
The rest of the party went smoothly, everyone was happy and jolly. There was enough food and drink to go around.
Dylan was most happy, the news about Blair’s pregnancy made him so joyful. He couldn’t contain the happiness.
The wedding came weeks later and as Dylan said before, Blair fell in love with the wedding band. They even had their honeymoon.
They were finally free, free from everything that held them back before. The contract was destroyed, Sam and Richard were serving time in prison and Blair and Dylan looked forward to the happy moments that they would experience together forever.
