‘You-you… you’re Eileen’s father?!’, Omar stuttered, he was the only one who even dared to say something. ‘How... I mean…’, Omar sinabi then looking at Lisa who was blushing a little but still had a smile on her face. Omar’s suddenly turned his head back to Hugh, ‘You slept with Lisa?!’, he sinabi completely in shock, ‘Or… or is this just some weird sperm-donation thing between you two?’ You could see in his eyes that even though he thought it was weird he would really prefer the latter. ‘Not that it is any of your business, but Eileen was conceived… the natural way.’, Hugh sinabi in a soft tone blushing a little.
‘O my god… so you just… o my god… what about your wife? What about?! And for how long?! I mean Eileen is already 1 taon old! Please don’t tell me that all this time I thought you were a decent English guy you were actually…. Well... screwing her!’ ‘And you!’, he now pointed at Lisa. ‘What the hell got into you?! Aren’t there enough man in the world who worship you and are actually available?!’, he ranted on. Lisa looked at Hugh pleading, and sa pamamagitan ng the look in her eyes he knew that it was time to stop Omar’s rant.
‘Omar please, let’s go inside relax a little and then talk about it…’, Hugh sinabi signing at the journalists who were either filming, Pagsulat or photographing every single word of this conversation. ‘Relax?! You want me to relax?! You two have a kid together!’ As if on cue Eileen started to giggle, ‘Dada?’, she looked at her father, ‘Owie unny!’, she sinabi and pointed at Omar as she giggled again, apparently she found Omar’s changing facial expressions very entertaining…
Hugh and Lisa almost didn’t make it to the entrance as it was blocked sa pamamagitan ng shouting journalists. Around them were also a few angry celebrity’s, not accepting Hugh and Lisa stealing their thunder. Hugh whisled loudly in an attempt to get them all silent and finally succeeded the third time. ‘People! People…, I can understand that in your position you have some burning questions, but I think we have madami of an obligation to some of our friends, who are as surprised as you are.’ The journalists didn’t really agree with Hugh, but as someone had already called security they couldn’t do much else then let Hugh and Lisa pass. ‘How about you say goodbye to all those people?’, Hugh asked Eileen. Eileen smiled and waved at all the journalists, ‘Buh-bye!’
Omar was already inside waiting for them, were he had found Jesse and Olivia and was in the middle of telling them what had just happened on the carpet as Jesse saw Hugh and Lisa coming their way. ‘There they are.’, Jesse whispered to his colleagues, who quickly turned around. ‘Sit?’, Eileen asked as her parents joined their coworkers around a high mesa without chairs. Hugh placed Eileen on tuktok of the mesa and she smiled at the people around her gazing, then pointed at the small bulaklak in the middle on the table. ‘Fowe! Pwetty!’, she cooed. Lisa smiled at her daughter, ‘Yes baby, that’s a very pretty flower.’ ‘Ya!’, she sinabi and laughed.
‘Ahum’, Jesse coughed, which made Hugh and Lisa look up from their girl to 3 pair of questioning eyes. Lisa blushed… ‘So… you guys have a kid together…’, Jesse sinabi trying to be as casual as possible, but it just sounded weird. ‘Yeah…’, Lisa answered not knowing what else to say. Hugh glanced at Eileen who was currently staring curiously at Olivia. ‘I can’t believe we never noticed anything, look at how blue her eyes are…’, Olivia sinabi softly as Jesse and Omar glanced at the little girl.
‘Are you guys okay?’, Lisa asked after what seemed like a century of silence. ‘Ye-Yeah… it’s just… so weird and I have so many questions… I mean… are you together or?’, Jesse asked. Lisa nodded as Hugh squeezed her hand. ‘We are…’, she said, ‘have been for two years now’, Hugh added. ‘Two years?!’, Omar shouted almost freaking out again. Hugh nodded, while the Jesse and Olivia didn’t know how to look at them. ‘I think I should add that it was also two years nakaraan that I filed for divorce and that this wasn’t supposed to look like a secret affair, we just wanted to wait until my divorce finalized before telling the whole world, but that took way longer than we predicted and then suddenly we were going to have a baby…’ ‘We’re sorry we kept it from you, it just seemed the best thing to do back then…’
The three had calmed down a little and nodded, ‘So does anyone know… besides your families that is?’ Hugh looked into Lisa’s eyes, ‘I guess the press has a pretty good idea right now…’, she sinabi playfully. ‘What about David?’, Olivia asked suddenly worried. ‘He doesn’t know yet…’ ‘Like hell he doesn’t!’, they suddenly heard screaming from behind…
‘O my god… so you just… o my god… what about your wife? What about?! And for how long?! I mean Eileen is already 1 taon old! Please don’t tell me that all this time I thought you were a decent English guy you were actually…. Well... screwing her!’ ‘And you!’, he now pointed at Lisa. ‘What the hell got into you?!
