Pool Party With the Chos

JJust like Tyron wanted, he and Candice threw a Pool Party for all the family (or almost all of it) to tell them about her pregnancy.

Dale and Kelly attended. They look more relaxed since they left Terence house to rent their own place.

Among the guests were as well Grandpa Davy; Tyron's mom, Tera; and two party crashers, namely Cynthia Vanderburg (God knows how she found out 'cause Kelly doesn't talk to her anymore). 

And great grandfather Karim, who isn't a Cho, but his daughter, grandma Tanya (Davy's wife) is, so he's considered a guest of honor.William, Tyron's father (left) was among the honorary guests too.

They all enjoyed a warm summer day at the pool and a delicious lunch.

  

Everything seems to be going smoothly for Tyron and Candice now.

Same for grandparents Davy and Tanya, who are as much in love as ever. The two couples took advantage of Cynthia's serenade to dance a little.

The party was spent in peace and without problems, probably thanks to Terence's absence. Other notable absentee was Candice's boss, Jasper Goth. I guess we already know why.

After the Party

Tyron and Candice were alone at last, enjoying their love during their whole wedding night and a part of the next morning...

Until his mother appeared all of a sudden, saying she needed to talk to him (in private).

Tyron: Mom, I'm just married. Can't this wait at least a week?

Tera: No, what I have to tell you is urgent.

Tyron: Okay.

Tera told him what Dale and Cynthia were doing during the party.

Tyron: Really? Dale and Cyn? OMG.

Tera: You have to talk to him.

Tyron: Like that'll help.

Casually, Dale decided to visit him the day after the wedding too. (What he really wanted was another slice of that delicious cake).

Tyron: (to himself) Why is everybody coming to my house today? Don't they know that I'm on my honeymoon?

Tyron: Tell me, what were you thinking to mess up with Cynthia?

Dale: I really don't know. She started, man, you know her.

Tyron: I don't know her as well as you do, that's for sure. What I do know if that she is trouble. And if Terry finds out, he will kill you, literally

Dale: Nah, Terry knows already. Literally. He doesn't mind her having a little fun.

Tyron: Wow... Well, at least now we know he won't kill you. My mom will be so relieved. Although we can't say the same about Kelly, can we?

Dale: True. I hope mom doesn't tell her.

Tyron: Never. You know mom's lips are sealed. She has some practice after protecting you and Terry so many times.

Dale: Yeah, I now.

While Candice and her mother-in-law enjoy another slice of cake at the dining room, she tries to listen to what Tyron and Dale are saying, but she can't hear anything, partly because Tera won't stop talking. Sure she doesn't want Candice to know.

Candice: What was your mother telling you?

Tyron: Nothing, just the typical complains about Dale.

Candice: Whose girl did he mess up with this time?

Tyron: Nobody you know. And please, not one word to Kelly, okay?

Candice: (to herself) Of course, I just got in the Cho family, and I already have to keep secrets for them. What none of them knows is I have my secrets too...

Candice thinks she can have secrets of her own. Ha, wake up girl, these are The Cho Brothers! 😎

Sharing a Table

 

The evening is fast approaching. Dale and Kelly are arguing (for a change). Tyron shares the table with his mother and waits for Candice to join them. Candice would love to sit with him and Tera, but Jasper is sitting right next to them...

So she decides to go and sit with her father-in-law, William, and his grandmother Alisha.

Tera would've liked to tell Tyron what had happened between Dale and Cynthia, but she didn't want to spoil his wedding day.

Candice is back with Tyron. Jasper is still near, but everything seems under control now. She hopes he leaves soon. (Where is his wife, by the way?)

Tyron: Candice, do you wanna dance?

Candice: Sure, honey, as soon as I finish my cake.

The Wedding Cake

It's time to cut the cake, Kelly (at last) stands up to look for Dale. He and Cynthia pull away from each other just in time. (*Phew*).

Kelly notices something in Tera's look, as if she wanted to tell her something. But it was just one split second and Tera inmmediately starts to cheer the wedding couple again. Dale and Cynthia act as if nothing's happened.

Oblivious to everything, Candice and Tyron got ready to cut the cake.

Their guests start to sorround them. Honestly, nobody there looks very happy, except probably Tyron, and Kelly (at least until now).

Tyron does the honors...

Jasper gets closer to take a slice of cake. (A little comfort food never hurt anyone). Now it is Candice who looks tense. Tyron doesn't take notice of anything that's going on here. (Oh, Tyron, if you knew...) 

The Wedding Goes on

The wedding goes on, Tyron and Candice were so absorbed in their love that they didn't notice what was happening around them.

Such as when Jasper got away for a while 'cause he couldn't take the scene anymore. 

Or what was happening back there with Dale and Cynthia, who had just returned from their 'important matter'. 

They don't even bother to hide themselves anymore! 

Yet, nobody there noticed, not even Kelly. Just Tera, the Cho brothers' mother was the only one who noticed what was going on. 

Tera: "Oh, Dale, my son, what are you doing? I truly hope your brother doesn't find out".

If Kelly finds out, that's the end of her relationship with Dale, and of her friendship with Cynthia, of course.

La Boda de Tyron y Candice

 THE CEREMONY

Ring exchange.

Tyron: I, Tyron, I take you, Candice, to be my wedded wife. With the deepest joy, I receive you into my life and I promise to love you and be faithful to you from this day forward".

Candice: I, Candice, take you, Tyron, to be my wedded husband. With the deepest joy, I receive you into my life and I promise to love you and be faithful to you from this day forward".

Vows have been pronounced, rings exchanged, now let's hope they both keep their promises...

THE GUESTS    

Grandpa Davy Cho cries his eyes out. It's such a blissfulness  to all the Cho family to see Tyron get married. A new generation of Chos will arrive soon!

Tyron's mom, Tera, got emotional too.

Among the guests were as well Kurt Langerak, the Cho brothers' cousin and Dale's girlfriend Kelly. On the back row was Jasper Goth, Candice's boss. (His wife Madeleine was sitting at the other side). Cynthia, Terence's girlfriend, was also there. Terence couldn't attend the wedding due to some 'business' issue. Cynthia didn't look very interested in the ceremony either.

Dale and Cynthia left right after the ceremony. Allegedly because Terence needed them for an important matter. Yeah, right. Everybody knows Cynthia and Dale were having an affair at that time. (Boy, if Terence and Kelly find out...)

Anyway, Tyron and Candice are husband and wife now. Tyron's father, William, arrived a bit late, until he was finally able to leave the Station. (Let's not forget he's the Fire Department Chief). Tyron's aunt Minzi was there too. 

Jasper didn't look happy at all with this wedding. (Why's that, I wonder?)

Tera and William Move to Sunlit Tides

Another couple moving to Sunlit Tides were William Cho and Tera Lachance, who had just returned from the University after Tera's graduation. The last about them is in the entry  Tera Graduates.

Once in the paradisiacal sunny islands, they were able to enjoy their honeymoon, which had been postponed before. 

They planned to enjoy a few days off and then they'll start from zero with their respective careers in this new environment.  

 

Tera and William, during they're long awaited honeymoon. They didn't know yet but they would soon be in for a surprise

Tera was pregnant! As soon as they knew, his life took a 180-degree turn.

 

The news that they were going to be parents brought them a lot of joy, but also a bit of concern.

 

Would their house be big enough for a family of three? Would Tera be able to start working at the Police station like she wanted, or should she wait until after the baby was born?

 

Many doubts arose in William's head, but only one thing was certain: he had to get to work right away.  

William took a job as a firefighter at the Sunlit Tides Fire Station.

Tera stayed home, as they both felt it was best to avoid the hustle and bustle of a career in law enforcement, at least until the pregnancy was over.

 It was difficult for the restless Tera not to be able to start work as she had planned. It was difficult for her as well to see William leave every morning and be separated from him the whole day.

The wait was long, but in the end it was worth it...

For William and Tera, the arrival of their first child, Tyron, was a great event.

Tera in particular was kept busy 24 hours a day by her new 'job' as a mom. 

She was so absorbed by her task of being a mother, that she didn't even feel the days go by, and in no time Tyron went from baby to infant.

Little Tyron was a toddler now.

 

William didn't have much time left to spend with Tyron because of his job.

 

He was just beginning to adjust to his new role as dad, when Tera started having those annoying morning sicknesses and voracious appetite at all hours. 

 

These symptoms were not unfamiliar to William.   "Hmm. Tera's eating twice as much, and that morning sickness...it can only be one thing.

 

Some time later, the Cho's second son was born: Terence, who was not as docile as Tyron. Terence was a very restless child who absorbed practically all of Tera's time and William's few free moments, even stealing some of Tyron's attention. 

 

  

Fortunately, when both kids went from infants to children and started to go to school, Tera was able to put her life in order and she was ready now to go to work as what she had always wanted to be: a perfect policewoman.
