Chapter 154 - What Have You Been Up To?
Back in the living room, Bernie had excused herself to go finish breakfast and Sam followed her to give the young couple so space.
April felt less self-conscious sitting on Dean's knee when they were alone. She snuggled into his chest, "So are you okay with the news?"
"Okay? Are you nuts? I'm over the moon with our news. Our wee family is growing." Dean smiled and replied. He had so much to get ready for now. They had to find a suitable ho and resolve their internal family issues.
April smiled but saw his facial expression change, she knew his concerns as she felt them too, "About Rachel and my mother's death, do you think we will find out anything. It's been so many years since then?" April asked.
I will make a phone call today to a private investigator, he is very good at his job. Don't worry we will solve this." Dean reassured her.
April nodded, "I have a phone number for my mother's friend. Maybe she knows sothing, I was going to ring her today."
Dean kissed her forehead, "Okay but don't stress too much. It will all be okay, nothing buried ever stays buried for long."
April nodded, he was right fate works in mysterious ways after all they had both been reborn to get another chance in this life. She smiled, "Everything happens for a reason."
Dean agreed with her, "Yes and I was very lucky to get another chance to love you."
"Dean, you say got another chance but we only t the one ti." April gazed up at his honey brown eyes as she asked.
"We only t once but once was enough for . I kissed you on the forehead that night and kept an eye on you. You seed happy so I didn't interfere but now I wish I had of taken you with that evening. Why where you living in that small and damp apartnt?" He know could get the answers he wanted from her so he didn't hold back.
"You kissed , when?" April asked, she was surprised that he had kissed her and she had never known.
"While you slept on the sofa," Dean replied simply as he kissed her forehead again.
"That's assault." April teased back.
"Yes, it is." Dean laughed.
"I moved out of my father's house because I had got into a row with Lucy and Jas had said he had sowhere for to live. I foolishly thought he was being kind till I moved into the apartnt. They had moved out of the house so they could take advantage of my father's money and steal my mother's paintings." She was exasperated at herself for her own stupidity in her past life.
Dean saw her furrowed brows and he smoothed out the creases with his thumb, "Don't frown so much." He scolded.
He hated that she had loved another man, though he doubted it was love it was more like brain fog. She couldn't possibly have loved Jas the way she now loved him.
April looked away from him, she felt ashad of her past self, "Thankfully I have learnt my lesson and stopped this all from happening again. Jas and Lucy don't even seem that close in this lifeti." She shared with Dean.
Dean frowned, "Stop saying other n's nas in my presence especially that imbecile." He despised Jas for his part in April's downfall in her past life.
April rolled her eyes, "So possessive! Well, I'm sorry to tell you but I will be eting with him next week at Walker Interiors to go over his ho renovation."
Dean smirked, "Oh I know."
"You do?" April enquired, "How do you know?"
"He asked Casey for you in particular so Casey inford . Michael will be with you during your eting." Dean announced.
April laughed, "Okay fair enough, it'll be an eventful eting then." She could only imagine what Michael would do or say to Jas.
She thought of Aarna at that mont and rembered she hadn't told Dean yet about her pregnancy, "I forgot to tell you Aarna is pregnant too."
"Really? I will have to phone Zane and congratulate him. That will be nice you and your friend both pregnant together." He said.
"Yes, we can go shopping, talking about friends I will go phone my mother's friend." April then stood up and Dean got up with her.
Bernie ca out of the kitchen at that mont, "Breakfasts on the table."
"Looks like I will ring her after breakfast," April said, she noticed then how hungry she was and she checked the ti. With so much going on it was now late morning nearly the afternoon.
April and Dean then walked towards the kitchen. Dean noticed his grandfather and Robert appear behind him so he asked, "How was your walk?"
"Eventful." Robert quickly answered and he wiped his brow. He felt like he had just been used by the old man.
Dean was confused and looked at his grandfather for answers, "Just what have you been up to?"
"Nothing, he is being dramatic," Joseph answered as he frowned at Robert.
He didn't want to Dean to know what he had just done. He would tell April on her own and she could convince that grandson of his what is best for the family.
In the kitchen they had all sat around the table and enjoyed a full ho cooked breakfast. Bernie had made scrambled eggs, fried eggs, bacon, sausage, potato bread and soda bread. April had helped herself and felt full afterwards.
She made a cup of tea and excused herself to the garden to ring Marie her mother's friend, she sat at the gazebo and searched for her number and rang it.
She was nervous and didn't know where to start or what to say. The phone then connected and she heard a female voice say, "Hello?"
"Hello, my na is April Jones.. Is this by any chance Marie Wisdom?" April asked nervously.
