Ryan and Mishka were happy with each other, their small fights making them come closer to each other.

In Marcello Palace,

It was night,

A car entered, Arthur looked around and saw that it was completely dark in the garden of the palace. He suddenly had a bad feeling so he told the driver to reach quickly.

As soon as the car stopped at the entrance, Arthur got down. He couldn't see anything, he went inside and it was all dark. He stumbled with the sofa but got stable…

He shouted "Maria!!!" Hearing no response,  he again shouted "Mom!!!"

His heart started to beat Faster and as he was about to go up, he heard the sound of faint Music…

Arthur stopped in his track and turned and he was sure it was coming from the garden. He slowly walked outside and saw even the car left but the music could be heard.

He looked around and saw a small blue light indicating the music player. He walked towards it slowly, his heart racing he again shouted "Maria!!! Mom!!! Where are you???"

As he reached the Player he touched To stop and suddenly the lights were turned on…

Arthur closed his eyes for a few seconds and heard ' Happy Birthday to you being sung' he opened his eyes and a bright smile appeared on his face.

Maria, Olivia, Ryan, Mishka, Aaron, Ava and Myra were singing the song…

Maria went forward towards him and Arthur hugged her tightly and said ' Stupid woman you scared me'

Maria hugged him back and said ' Ooh even you fear something?'

Arthur nodded and whispered in her ears ' When it has to do something with you' she blushed hearing It.

Ryan said ' Get a room'

Aaron said ' We didn't came here to see this'

Maria blushed even more, Arthur just sneered and said ' Don't be jealous'

Then everyone came forward and a huge cake was brought by the servants.

Arthur looked at it which had written ' Happy birthday Love'

A smile formed on his face and he looked at her dotingly, Maria looked at the way he was looking at her and felt overwhelmed.

'What else does a person want In life having a man look at you with such love' she thought and smiled..

The birthday song was being played and all were clapping and Arthur took Maria's hand and they both cut the cake together and Arthur fed Her and passed it to olivia…

Olivia first went ahead and gave a small box to Arthur and he saw it was a very beautifully hand carved watch, he thanked her and everyone else gave their gifts.

Myra then came in front and said ' Happy birthday, and thanks for not breaking Maria and My trust on you'

Arthur nodded and then his eyes roamed and saw Maria standing a bit far, he went towards her and said ' Won't you give me any gift?'

Ryan says ' Arthur wants something Maria ' in a teasing tone. Aaron and other chuckled

Maria looked at him and Said ' You have everything and me, what else do you want?'

Arthur smiled at her cheeky reply and said while pinching her cheek ' Anything you give is precious to me'

Maria smiled and said ' Okay as you say' saying she takes a box from the table and gives it to him.

Arthur looks at her and Maria says ' What are you waiting for open it'

Arthur nodded and slowly opened it and saw a note on it. 

It was written ' Happy Birthday Dad'

Arthur smiled and went close to Her ear and said 

'Shouldn't it be daddy?'

Maria blushed and pushed Him and said ' See other things too idiot'

Arthur chuckled and he moved the note and saw a few papers.

He then took it out and started reading and suddenly his face changed.

Seeing it everyone was a bit tense and Olivia went towards Arthur and asked ' What happened?'

Arthur looked at Maria first and then at Olivia. He ran towards Maria and hugged her. 

Everyone was confused. 'Will u people tell us what has happened? Ryan said. 

Arthur turned towards everyone and said ' I am going to be father!!!!'.

Hearing it everyone was stunned, then as they realized everyone shouted and congratulated the couple.

Arthur's eyes never left Maria's face…

Olivia was the most happy she hugged Maria and was flying in the air hearing, she is a grandmother now.

Everyone was excited and they had food and Arthur suddenly got up and extended his hand in front of Maria and asked ' May I have the honor to have a dance with you?'

Maria nodded and got up and a warm song was being played and they both started moving and seeing Arthur looking at her she asked ' Never saw me before?'

Arthur said ' thank you'

Maria smiled and placed her forehead on his forehead and said ' I should be the One who has to be thankful'
