Is this destiny?

"Wait!", Oni called, preventing Michael from going to the helicopter. Ron, Zula, Nala, and Haru were on their feet as well.

Sure, they needed to confirm that Sarah and Aiden are alright, but Oni had a different idea.

"Give me a minute to try something."

"What can you do from here?", Zula asked. "They left drones to follow members of the Council and there are no cameras in that area to give us the real-time image."

"I will tap into a military satellite that can give us an idea of what we are dealing with here. Maybe they have a flat tire, or maybe they were ambushed by a military group. Let\'s not overreact. Whatever is going on, more information can help us take appropriate action."

Michael nodded in agreement and gestured to Oni to do her thing.

Out of all the kids at the Cliffside Villa, Oni showed the flashiest results when it came to hacking. She was able to hold her ground against Mishi and his team. Among the people present in the room, if anyone can tap into a military satellite, that is Oni. And even if that is not the case, Michael will still give Oni a chance to try.

Five minutes later…

Oni hacked into the satellite and zoomed in to show the bird\'s view of the car, how the satellite is seeing it from above. The quality was impressive.

"Wow!", Zula exclaimed. "I can almost read the license plate."

"We can see that the car is on the side of the road…", Ron said while rubbing his chin. "No one else is visible. Is the car deserted?"

Oni bobbed her head while her fingers flew over the keyboard. "This satellite is equipped with several lenses… one is infrared. Let\'s see what this baby can do…"

Nala bit her lower lip. "What if they are hurt? Or if the infrared shows us that they are stuffed in the trunk? Sarah is pregnant, that can\'t be good…"

The image on the screen flickered for a second and then they could see one red lump in the area of the backseat.

"One of them is in the car! Tied in the back!", Zula exclaimed frantically.

Michael narrowed his eyes and tilted his head. "I\'m not sure if anyone is tied, but I have a feeling those are two people."

Haru approached the screen. "What makes you think so?"

"You see…", Michael was pointing while talking. "The heat signature is stronger than just one person. There is definitely a movement, and this looks like legs, and…" Michael stopped talking when the screen turned black.

"What are you doing?", Michael asked Oni.

Oni wondered if everyone is pretending to be ignorant or if she is really the only one to realize what is going on.

"This…", she was not sure how to say that Aiden and Sarah took a detour to do the naughty. And they were peeking at them, like perverts! Well, they didn\'t really saw them, but they kind of did. "They are fine."

Michael saw that Oni was flustered. Of course, he knew what Sarah and Aiden were doing, but he didn\'t care about that, they are all grownups. However, Oni\'s shyness was beyond adorable. He grinned and stalked toward Oni. He stood behind her and leaned to rest his head on her shoulder. "What makes you think they are fine?"

"Do I need to say it at loud?", Oni asked in a high-pitched voice. Her face was on fire. This was beyond embarrassing.

Zula exhaled and said at loud what everyone was thinking. "It seems that Sarah\'s libido is increasing with the pregnancy. Let\'s disperse and we can resume this when Sarah and Aiden get here."

Ron hooked his arm around Zula\'s waist. "I think that Aiden and Sarah gave us a good idea about what to do while waiting."

Zula\'s eyes flashed in outrage. How can he be so shameless?

Zula slapped Ron\'s chest (without using much force) in warning which he ignored as he chuckled and dragged Zula out of the room.

"When are we getting married? I want us to make babies. They will be cute, like you…", Ron\'s voice was heard as they walked down the hallway.

Haru\'s ears were red, and Nala knew that he was hiding something. Ah, if she knew that Haru was planning to ask her to marry him in a romantic setting that only Paris can provide, Nala would stop scrutinizing him.

"Let\'s find something to eat while we wait…", Haru said awkwardly while avoiding Nala\'s gaze.

He took her hand in his and led the way outside, which left Michael and Oni in the planning room.

Michael lifted Oni from the chair and put her to sit on the table. He stood between her legs and caressed her cheeks with the tips of his fingers.

With others gone, Oni was not so shy anymore. She smiled and leaned into his touch.

"Sarah\'s libido is up because of pregnancy, Ron and Zula will make babies…", Michael said while giving Oni a meaningful look.

"What are you getting at?"

Michael wiggled his eyebrows playfully. "What if I make you pregnant?"

Oni\'s breath hitched. "We are not married, and I still didn\'t meet your family…"

"Are those the only obstacles?"

Michael didn\'t think that meeting his family is a deal-breaker. His family thought that he died more than five years ago, and the more time passed, the more Michael believed that it will be for the best to leave it at that.

Oni got her college degree and if she wants to continue her education, marriage will not be a problem. He will support her.

"Do you see any other obstacles?", Oni responded with a question.

Michael shook his head and grinned. "Pick a wedding date. My calendar is open."

Oni understood that they will skip meeting his family. She stared at him. "Just like that?"

He inched closer and pecked her lips. "Just. Like. That." And then he gave her a warm kiss full of longing and she teared up as her heart expanded to accommodate all the love she has for Michael.

Oni remembered when Michael came to the Cliffside Villa. At first, they spent quite a bit of time at the Beach House. Michael was an unreachable man she could only admire from afar and she called him Jesse. And then they had a mission where they pretended to be a couple during a party at the White Mansion, and everything changed as she dared to dream. And then there was a heartbreak because of Marija, and the mission in Frankfurt, and they had their ups and downs and at some point, they almost lost each other while being tortured. But now her dream of being with Michael is a reality where the most perfect man in the world told her to pick a date. For their wedding. Just like that.

Oni hugged Michael tightly and returned his kisses with fervor because they will be married soon, and maybe even have a baby.

To think that the girl who was stuck without a future in a dingy basement ended up being rescued by Sarah and Aiden, and now is in a castle in France, kissing the man from her dreams, and he was all hers… it was beyond amazing.

"Why are you crying?", Michael asked while observing Oni\'s face.

"Shut up and kiss me…", Oni said and pulled him closer for a kiss.

Michael thought how Oni was sweet and emotional. The emotions go crazy while the woman is pregnant… does that mean Oni will get many crying spells during pregnancy? He told himself not to think about it. There is only one way to find out.

Michael didn\'t see himself as a marrying type with family, but since he met Sarah and Aiden many things changed. Oni showed him the meaning of unconditional love and he watched her blossom into a wonderful young lady who makes his life complete and he can\'t wait to make her his in every way possible. Marriage included. 

Michael broke the kiss and scooped Oni from the table. He carried her out of the room princess style.

"Starting now, you are not to take any contraception.", Michael said, and Oni hid her face in his neck when she realized that a maid is in the hallway and she heard him.

"Are we clear?", Michael asked while carrying Oni to their bedroom. He didn\'t care about the staff.

Michael smiled when he felt Oni nod in response. It will take a few days for contraception to be flushed out of her system, but they can start practicing baby-making without delay.

They entered their room and Michael closed the door with his leg.

He put Oni to sit on the edge of the bed and he kneeled in front of her.

"Oni…", Michael called. "I want us to get married, have many babies, and grow old together. What about you? Are you willing?"

"Why are you asking me that?"

"I want you to know that you have a choice. When we get back home, we will throw an engagement party and then plan our wedding, and…", Michael\'s next words were swallowed by Oni\'s kiss.

When he said that she has a choice, her heart melted and she realized that the only thing she wanted was to make him happy because when Michael is happy, she is happy as well.

"I am willing.", Oni responded breathily, and then she kissed him again.

Oni enjoyed the feeling of Michael smiling into the kiss and she didn\'t resist when he pushed her back into the mattress.
