Continuation.......................................................26th Page...........................

Each and everyone congratulate Onew and Taemin except for Jonghyun, Yuri, and Tiffany as well as the twins – Minnie and Kibummie; they all look equally stunned when they learned from Jonghyun and Yuri informing them of the news that they are going to be parents for SuLi.

Sooyoung:       (speaking softly to Leeteuk) This act of generosity of
                        Minho is more like a pay forward from Natalie’s kindness.

Leeteuk:          (nodding) And it really is amazing.
                        I could never imagine Minho to do something like this…
                        I knew how Minho had ever longed wish for to have kids of his own.

Sooyoung:       ( Leeteuk right cheek)
                        and to give it up shows how much
                        he equally loves his younger brother Taemin...
                        And to be honest, I am really happy.

Jessica:           (goes to Onew and Taemin speaking softly)
                       congratulations Onee and Taeminnie…
                       SuLi are very lovely…and most especially best wishes.
                       We are deeply hurt…you had your wedding done secretly.

Taemin:           (smiles and hugs Jessica) Thank you very much…
                        Auntie…I mean Duchess…

Jessica:           (patting Taemin’s back) Auntie or Mommy is fine…
                        Duchess only for public use… within our private lives…
                        no need…

Taemin:           (chuckles) Okay…Mom…
                        it was so sudden that we did not have time
                        to think of anything but to be wed.

Jessica:           (hugs Taemin even tighter) That’s it…that’s better…
                       anyway, I am really so happy for both of you.
                       Have a very good and wonderful life ahead together with the kids.

Heechul:          (shakes hands with Onew) Congratulation Onew…
                        and best wishes…
                         I am wishing you a more blissful merry life with your kids.

Onew:             (bows and smiles) Thank you Uncle Heechul…

Heechul:          Pleasure is all mine...
                        (shows Mr. and Mrs. Batista) here they are…
                         wanting to greet both of you too…

Mr. Batista:      (shakes hand with Taemin and Onew)
                        By the way, thank you very much for those
                        wonderful outfits my wife and I wore yesterday.
                        They were stunnily beautiful and most of all…

                         (takes a deep breath)
                         Congratulations for the wonderful gift ever…

Mrs. Batista:    (nods and smiles warmly)
                       Thank you to both of you Taemin and Onew.
                       Both of you did quite well and

                       (eyes beaming with excitement) Congratulations…
                       having children is a bundle of joy.

Taemin:           (bows) Thank you very much Mr. Batista…
                        I am glad that you and Mrs. Batista liked it very much.
                         What my brother did actually reminded me
                        of your late precious daughter, Ms. Natalie.

Onew:             (nods) Yes...
                       Ms. Natalie was a kindhearted generous person.
                       And Minho-ssi to do this for us, we are deeply grateful.

While they are still happily sharing each other’s happiness, the former King Philip and Queen Margret with the newly crowned King, JP Owen come forward to greet Onew and Taemin.

JP Owen:        (hugs Taemin and Onew) Congratulations to both of you…
                       am so happy for you…

“Thank you…King Owen”
Both courtesouly reply the two…

Philip:              (chuckles) Sons… just call him GrandPa…
                       no need to address him royally during family occasions.
                       As for me, kindly address me as simply, Baba…

Margret:           (laughs agreeing) and me, I like to be called Maica…

JP Owen:        (shocked) Dad…. Mom…
                       (whines) why me GrandPa and you other languages for
                       father and mother…aaiii… that’s unfair…

Philip:              (frowns at JP Owen) Excuse me my dearest son…
                        it is so rare for us during the times your Mom and I used to
                        be King and Queen to be called as father and mother…

Margret:           (nods passionately) Yes…Jean…
                        and we have been yearning to be called
                        as father and mother…so now… we want it…

JP Owen:        (sighs) Aassshhh… anyway… I will be back in a moment…
                        I need to do something…
                        and my gifts to my Princess and Prince are ready
                        including the newly born twins Sue and Liam.

The ever observant and watchful Taeyang after accompanying Minho quietly arrives and holds Joonie’s left arm applying a mild pressure and smiles.

Taeyang:         (taking a deep heavy breath) Joonie…
                        This is pure happiness…

Joonie:             (almost in a verge of tearing up) Yes…
                         I have never imagined things to be like this…
                         I am so happy for Lord Owen…
                         our Kibummie really deeply respects and loves him.
                        And Minho-ssi to give a precious gift for his younger
                        brother…is so Natalie… 

Taeyang:         (sighs) I deeply miss Natalie…
                       she was a very good person…
                        I think what she told me before is actually happening…
                        and we just have to wait for the final one to happen and
                         everything is fine…

Joonie:             (sighs) Yes… and am positive…
                        Minho-ssi will be absolutely happy…
                         And by the way, darling, please extend thank to 
                        Bummie for taking care of our children’s well-being… okay…

Taeyang:         (nods) Oh definitely…I will go and see him now.
