Van POV

I went downstairs, Von knocked on my door earlier to say that papa had come so we could eat together. Leana and Leona from the Bermuda triangle also came home here. While Creed and Rizden went here.

I'm the only one waiting. They are almost completely on the table.

"Sorry I'm late." I said reluctantly and sat in my chair next to Von.

My other siblings looked at me.

"What happened to your face?" Fin asked. He probably saw the band aid on my cheek and the edge of my lip.

"A stranger came and punched my face." I answered and took a steak.

"What? Why didn't you call me right away?" He asked. I looked at him.

"As if you care?" I asked so he frowned.

"What is happening to you Van?" Creed asked. I did not answer.

I have a bad day today. I'm still annoyed so they don't tease me.

"He's not in the mood." Von said.

"Why, what happened?" Dad asked. I didn’t answer and just ate.

"Ughm ...He's date with Aphrodite's was ruined." Von answered for me.

I felt them all looking at me except Von.

"What?" Leona asked.

"And then, there's a stranger who came here and punched his face." Von added.

"The fuck?" Liana asked wrinkled.

"Let's forget about that." Said papa.
As if i will forget it.

"By the way, Clementine and Fin. When are you going to give birth Clementine?" Dad asked the couple. I just keep quiet and listen to them.

Clementine lowered the utensils she was holding and smilingly replied.

"Next week I guess? My doctor came earlier and said next week I might give birth." Clementine replied.

"Really? That's good. I'm excited to see my first grandchild." Dad smiled and looked at Fin.

"Follow another one." They laughed except for me. Papa looked at Creed and Rizden.

"How about you guys?" Dad asked.

"We're good." Creed replied.

"Actually we have news." He added.

"Really? What is that?" Papa asked and lowered the fork he was holding.

Rizden looked at her husband and then looked at dad.

"I'm 2 weeks pregnant." Said Rizden.

Dad's eyes widened and he was obviously overjoyed.

"Really?" Leana asked cheerfully and shook Leona.

"Sissy we're not going to kidnap their son Fin." Leana said.

"Seriously, are you all right?" Von asked laughing.

"Hahaha i think we will be a big family." Said papa and looked at Leana and Leona.

"How about you girls? How's life?" Papa asked.

"Well, Leona is still single." Leana said. Leona just stared.

"And you?" Dad asked. Leana blushed a little.

"I think I'm going to have a boyfriend soon." Leana said.

"Who's the lucky guy?" Dad asked.

"He's a merman dad." Leona said so papa looked at Leana.

"Really? A merman?" Papa asked.

"Did I think the witches and merman would fight?" I whispered so they all looked at me.

"Van is right." Dad said.

"But dad, Dreko is good. Actually he's different from all the mermaid like him. He didn't judge me." Leana defended.

"I want to see that merman." Said papa so Leana smiled and nodded.

"Leona. Find your future husband." Said papa and ate the steak.

"If you can't imitate Von." I looked at papa and looked at Von with his forehead furrowed.

"Yes?" Von asked. Dad looked at Von and smiled.

"Since you and Van turning 99 next week. I arranged you for marriage." Von let go of the utensils he was holding. I also let go my utensils. 

"What?" Von asked in shock. Obviously not liking what papa said.

"Why? You're already turning 99, you need to be married." Said papa.

"And why me?" Von asked annoyed.

"Because you're the only one of my sons who isn't married yet. Look at Van, he's chasing his soon to be--"

"But i don't need to be married dad. I'm not yet ready and I'm still enjoying my life!" Annoyed Von said.

"You can enjoy your life with your soon to be wife."

"The hell dad? I don't even want to know who that is." Von said angrily.

I could just look at him. He was obviously disgusted and at any moment he would disappear. I know my twin. He doesn't want everyone to know about his life.

"Dad, I think Von can also find a wife for him." When I defend my twin.

Dad looked at me.

"And when else? When I'm at the grave?" Dad asked and shook his head.

"We're better prepared, we should multiply our race because we're one Vaughn."

"In what way Dad? To marry me? arranged marriage to someone I don't know?" Von asked annoyed.

"Your soon to be Wife is nice. You'll like her."

"Dad I really don't want to!" Von shouted, obviously furious. He stood up and shook his head.

"If you want, you get married. I don't want to." Von said annoyed and in a flash he disappeared. He left us and we are quiet. Looking at Von's seat.


Dad wiped the edge of his lip with the swab then smiled.

"He can't do anything. My decision is final." Said papa before sipping the steak.

"Please tell your twin Van, they will get married next month." I fell silent. Dad looked at me.

"And please tell me, on your birthday I will introduce him to his future wife." He added.

I just nodded and continued eating.

Von must be missing from his room now.
