The Pleasant Family- Part 3

After 14 years and two marriages, Daniel finally had the son he had desperately wanted. Kaylynn finally had fulfilled her duty as a wife and felt the pressure lifted from her shoulders.

Kaylynn though it was time to bring up her proposal.
“Daniel, my dear?” says Kaylynn
“What is it my dear wife?” says Daniel
“I was wondering if you would consider my proposal” says Kaylynn
“Anything you want, I’m listening” says Daniel
“The widow Jaquet is looking for a wife for her son” says Kaylynn
“Hmm, well maybe we should introduce Mrs. Jaquet to Angela and Lilith; they should be around the right age?” says Daniel

So with the approval of her husband, Kaylynn went to pay her friend, Mrs. Jaquet a visit.
"So you see my dear Mrs. Jaquet you will be doing my husband a favor, if you put it your son to request to see Angela." Says Kaylynn
"Well, she is quite lovely. No doubt she and my son would produce lovely offspring. Oh how I long for the day to hear little feet running through this house again" Says Mrs. Jaquet
"Angela will for certain make a wonderful mother for your grandchildren, she is very fond of my son and is patient." says Kaylynn
"Very well, you have convinced me, I will talk to my son. In fact, why don't you ask your husband to have us over for dinner. It will give my son more time to see Angela more." Says Mrs. Jaquet
"I will have a word with Mr. Pleasant, thank you Mrs. Jaquet" says Kaylynn

Daniel had called for his daughter, Angela to share the news of the marriage proposal
“You called me father?” says Angela
“Yes, we have some news for you, which might excite you” says Daniel
“Do tell father” says Angela
“Well my dear, do you remember Mrs. Jaquet, she was at the engagement party” says Kaylynn
“Yes, she was here with her son, they were very nice people” says Angela
“Well, Mrs. Jaquet has of late, been looking for a bride for her son, to produce an heir to keep their business dynasty going” says Kaylynn
“I don’t understand, what does that have to do with me” says Angela
“My dear daughter, your stepmother is a good friend of Mrs. Jaquet and she has put in a good word with Mrs. Jaquet to consider as a possible bride” says Daniel

“So this is what you were planning, to gain my trust and while scheming to make my father send me away! You are truly evil” Says Angela

“Do not you speak to my wife like that, you ungrateful wench” says Daniel

“She is plotting to for you to marry me to a complete stranger, whom I have only met twice. How can I marry someone I don’t even know, let alone love? Why can’t I marry Dustin?” says Daniel

“He is but a boy, my dear. He could not provide for you, let alone a family” says Kaylynn

“But I love him, all I need is him” says Angela

Go to your room, I don’t want to see you until you have come to your senses and learn your place. Until then, get out of my sight” says Daniel

Later that night, Lilith went up to Angela’s room, to take some dinner to her, so she knocked on the door

“Who is it?” says Angela

“It is Lilith, I brought you some dinner” says Lilith

“I am not hungry” says Angela

“I hear father asked you to consider marrying Mrs. Jaquet’s son” says Lilith

“Can you believe Kaylynn? She is plotting to get father to send us away, by marrying us off to people we do not even know” says Angela

“Did you think we would live here forever? Do you not wish to get married? And start your own family?” says Lilith

“Of course I do, but with someone I love! I do not even know Gilbert, how will know that I like him, let alone love him enough to start a family. Dustin and I love each other-” says Angela

“Do you think Dustin could provide for you? Do you thing he could put a roof over your head? He doesn’t even have a job” says Lilith

“So you think I should marry Gilbert?!” says Angela

“It would not be so bad, it could be much worse!” says Lilith

“What could be worse than to be forced to marry someone-” says Angela

“You could be cast away, deemed a bastard and sent to the poor house, like father intended to do with us” says Lilith

“What? Father would never do that to us, who told you that?” says Angela

“I heard father talking to his lawyers, they were going over father’s will, when he was adding little Daniel to the will. The lawyer asked father, if he wanted to keep us in the will, father told him he was thinking to cast us away and deeming us illegitimate, so there would be more room. It was Kaylynn, who convince father to find us husbands, instead of sending us to the poor house“says Lilith

“At least I would not be married to Gilbert” says Angela

Angela felt so confused, she did not want to be cast away to the poor house, but she did not want to marry anyone else but Dustin. She decided to visit her mother, to ask her for advice on the situation.

After explaining everything that has happened at home, Angela waits for her mother’s response

“Dear mother, tell me what to do!” says Angela

“Has Mr. Jaquet ever been unkind to you” says Mary-Sue

“No, he’s kind and so is his mother. But that is not th-” says Angela

“Then what is the problem? He is a respectable man of society, he is responsible, he has his own business, he is kind and well off. He is the perfect man to start a family with. Do you not want to start a family and not have to worry if you will have a roof over your head or food to feed your children” says Mary-Sue

“But how can I marry someone I do not love? Did you not love father when you married him?” says Angela

“My dear Angela, I barely knew your father when I married him. He was very kind; he had just finished building his home and was looking for a wife to start a family. Your grandfather thought that I would be taken care of and he was right. I never felt insecure or afraid that we would lose our home or lifestyle.” says Mary-Sue

“What are you saying mother? That I should give up my happiness, to marry to marry for security? To forget about Dustin and all that I feel for him, to marry a complete stranger?” says Angela

“I think you make the right choice for the future” says Mary-Sue

Angela felt more conflicted than before, she didn’t want to marry someone she hardly knew, but she wanted to maintain her lifestyle and social status. She wondered if she could give up her comfortable lifestyle for love, could she give up her stress free life for a chance at her own happiness. She wanted to talk to Dustin before she would make any decisions, she would have to meet in secret, because her father doesn’t like Dustin and he was already upset with her

"Dustin? Are you here?" Whispered Angela

"I'm right here" Said Dustin, coming out of the shadows

They embraced each other and Dustin kissed Angela gently on her hair. Angela tells Dustin of what her father is planning, how she is being forced to marry Mr. Gilbert Jaquet and if she doesn’t, her father would probably disown her and she would never see her sister and mother again.

“My dear Angela, let’s run away together. I know a place on the outskirts of town, the land is cheap and I could work in Mr. Landgraab’s shops to pay for the supplies to build a home” Said Dustin

“How long do you think it would take to get the money to build the house?” Asked Angela

“Two months, not including the time it would take me to build the house” Said Dustin

“How long will that take?” asked Angela

“Three months at the least” Said Dustin

“Five months! Where are we going to live for five months?” Asked Angela

“We could pitch a tent, there is a stream nearby, so we could wash up. We would be a rough for a year or so, but we would be together to help each other through it” Said Dustin

“Well maybe I could wait until the end of the month; I could make some project to sell to help if I could?” Said Angela

“That’s a great idea! My mother was replacing her old sewing machine, maybe we should take it with us” “Yes, that would be a great idea” Said Dustin

“I think I should go now, my mother will wonder what’s taking so long” Said Dustin

Before Dustin left, he reached for Angela's face and kissed her. She was kissed for the first time by the one she loved and hoped it would not be the last time.

Even with the troubles of his stubborn daughter, Daniel always found himself in a good mood for his wife.

"Good morning Kaylynn, How is our son?" Asked Daniel

"He's doing well dear husband, he's trying to stand and take his first steps. He is very determined to chase after me when I leave the room to do chores." Said Kaylynn

"Well that goes to show, he is his father's son"

Kaylynn would always make time to spend time with her son, even with all the proposals to families to find husbands for the girls.
