Chapter 22
Loving Couple

Chapter Description: A mother is against her son's marriage.

Oliver and Yuri were dating for six years hidden from anyone. Growing up in very conservative households, they knew that if their relationship came up, they’d be isolated from their families, so they kept this secret very well hidden. Until Oliver’s mother heard one of their late night calls and heard when she heard ‘I love you’. “Oliver Perry Hills! Stop that at this very moment!” His mother, Sheila, screamed. Oliver stopped in his tracks. “Ollie, hun, are you still here?” Yuri asked worriedly. “Man, I think my mother heard us.” He said and Sheila knocked again. “Oliver, if you’re talking to  a man in that way and you don’t open that door to talk, you’ll get punished as hard as you've ever been.” Oliver sighed and opened the door. “Come on in, mom.” The couple managed to get to talk to the woman for the next hour about their relationship.

“Sorry I kept that a secret all those years mom.” Oliver said almost crying and Yuri continued. “We’re really sorry miss.” Sheila nodded and said she understood, but inside her, she was agonizing after discovering that her son was keeping that secret all those years, but seeing him with that man, was making enough to make her almost scream at him, but he was 24, a legal adult, she couldn’t prohibit him to date anyone, and he wouldn’t be very fond of being grounded as a kid. Months passed and the boys started to get more open to their families about their relationship, most of the time they got claps and awes, but Sheila wasn’t enduring all that fuss. But one day, Oliver and Yuri appeared together. “Mom, we need to tell you something.” Oliver said. “What?” “We’re getting married!” They said in unison.

Sheila was in disbelief, she never thought he would go in that relationship and she tried to talk to them. “You know I don’t approve of that wedding!” She had enough after hours of talking. “Mom, you know you can’t control us! We’re not kids, and you said you would be supportive of any relationship I had, but now I just realized you were lying. Come on, Yuri.” Oliver pulled his fianceé to the door, and he turned back. “We will only come back when you’re ready to apologize.”

Some days later, Sheila asked them to go visit her. “So, You’re ready to apologize?” Oliver asked in front of his mother. “Yes, and I’m sorry for failing you.” She said. “What?” Oliver asked, surprised. Sheila threw a potion on their feet and a smokescreen covered them. “Now, you’re better.” She said when two diapered tots were there. “Mommy, why?” Oliver asked with his blue big puppy eyes. “Because I think I did not raise you well, so now you two will be like this until I think you’re ready to set apart.” She said while rubbing Ollie’s blonde spikey hair. Now the two tots were crying and she left them alone. Hours later, Sheila was downstairs and heard the TV. “What the?” She said and saw that the two toddlers were hugging each other in very saggy diapers “Oh my, I guess they will never be ready to set apart.” She saw that and thought how cute their relationship looked now.
