Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle by Heap Heap

Tommy understood what Luke meant when he said that she was not their mother. Tears welled up in his eyes as he jumped out of bed and walked to Luke’s side. He held Luke’s hand and asked, “Daddy, that’s not our Mommy. Is Mommy in the hands of the bad guys?”

“Perhaps.” Luke did not provide him with 100 percent certainty.

He would give his all to look for Bianca. However, he could not promise the kids whether he could find her and how long it would take.

“Daddy, I’m sure you’ll find Mommy.” Tommy held Luke’s hand tightly with his tiny hands as though he was comforting Luke.

“Do you miss her?” Luke tried his best to hold back the tears in the corners of his eyes when he saw how sensible Tommy was being. He knew that Tommy did not want him to worry.

Tommy was the youngest in the family. He loved to fool around but when he showed his sensible side, he was no different from Lanie and Rainie.

“Yes, I miss her but Mommy has been gone for so many years. Tommy knows better than to make you promise that you’ll find her,” Tommy said.

Luke sighed and held his hand when he saw how well-behaved Tommy was. “I’ll find her as soon as possible.”

Tommy nodded and thought of Lanie and Rainie. He lowered his voice and said, “Dad, don’t tell Lanie and Rainie about this. If they know that Mommy isn’t back yet, they’ll be very sad. I don’t want to see them upset.”

Luke stared at him. Compared to Tommy, Lanie and Rainie only met Bianca when they were five years old. They did not have as many childhood memories of Bianca as compared to Tommy. Even so, after Tommy found out about the news, he did not make a fuss but instead comforted Luke and requested that Lanie and Rainie be kept in the dark.

He did not want them to be sad…

“Daddy, what’s the matter with you?” Tommy noticed that Luke was keeping quiet. He was worried that he would tell the news to Lanie and Rainie, so he said, “I want Lanie and Rainie to be happy.”

The bedroom door opened, and Lanie and Rainie walked in. They looked at their brother and father, then walked up to them together.

“Lanie, Rainie…” Tommy looked at them.

Rainie touched her brother’s cheek and said, “We all know, Tommy. Don’t be sad.”
