And other DeLoughreys
{ Two weeks after his bachelor party, Mexico | 2027 }
part one
With the news that he broke off his engagement, meaning there won’t be a wedding, he won’t get married… again, Dorian found himself in Mexico.
He wasn’t running away like someone did, he was just taking some time off from everyone bothering him with questions he didn’t want to answer, even his family, and decided to visit his new house in the most beautiful part of Mexico. He had this house for almost two months now but never before did he stay in it for a longer time. There was not really time for it since he’s been busy planning the wedding he, deep down, wished would never happen. If only his wish came true in a different way… With how much he was earning this was not a big deal for him, it was just a place he could go to when he felt like everything was too much, like right now. No one really knew he bought it, not his family, not a girl he was supposed to get married to at that time… until he saw an article online about a beautiful house a famous soccer player bought - him. Of course, Kennedy was the first person to ask about it or just say how he should’ve asked for her opinion. Any other girl would’ve been happy to have her fiance buy a house in Mexico and have a place for a perfect summer vacation but not her… Sure, it was nice but she wanted to be included in such decisions. Dylan was the first family member to reach out to Dorian… asking for keys.
Earlier that day
[color="darksalmon”]”Are we sure we can just go there and not tell him anything?”[/color] Nervously playing with the phone in her hands, Elodie looked between her mother and brother, sitting in a private plane. It was Dylan’s idea to gather the whole family and give Dorian a visit, not let him be alone after breaking off his engagement and by whole family I do mean their whole family. Everyone was there - Davina and Elijah, Dylan with Juniper and baby Blaise, Elodie and Riker with their kids, twins and baby Xander. ”Mhm…” Dylan mumbled, shifting his gaze from his father to his sister, simply nodding his head and giving her a grin. Was it a lie? It sure was. A few days ago, before he took this responsibility to gather the whole family and give his brother a visit, he has reached out to Dorian to ask if he could visit. There was never any word about their whole family…
From: Dylan
To: DorianI’m coming over in two days, you need some fun company. Save me the best roooom
From: Dorian
To: DylanNo.
But it didn’t matter what Dylan said, Dorian’s answer would still be no. [color="darksalmon”]”Dylan,”[/color] with Amie in her lap and Phoebe sitting right next to her talking to Juniper and playing with Blaise who was in his mothers hands, Elodie’s gaze was stuck on Dylan, knowing very well when things weren’t right and he was lying. [color="darksalmon”]”I should’ve called him,”[/color] a sigh escaped her lips noticing Dylan was ignoring her and she leaned back in her seat, shaking her head. ”Our whole family is here,” whispering so the twins wouldn’t hear her even if Amie was right there with her, her gaze was still on her brother, a frown meeting her lips. Just like Elodie, Dylan was only trying to look after Dorian and be there no matter how much he would try to push them away at times and wish to be alone. None of them knew why he broke up with Kennedy but considering he just left for Mexico without telling anyone, Elodie could tell something serious was going on. It was either that or he was simply sad, both good reasons for Elodie to worry about her twin. Over the years she got him to open up to her more, they got closer but there were still things she didn’t know and she felt like she’ll never know.
[color="steelblue”]”Chill, chill, he can’t kick us out, can he?”[/color] Slouched in his seat, a grin met Dylan’s lips, shaking his hand at Elodie. [color="steelblue”]”Your mom is such a bore,”[/color] looking to the side at baby Xander who was looking out a tiny window with his father holding him, Dylan pretended to whisper so Elodie wouldn’t hear him, pinching X’s chubby leg. Was he wrong? He knew his younger brother well enough to know he wouldn’t just tell them to leave, no matter how much he might be unhappy with the situation. If there was something Dorian wanted it was to be a good uncle and having them all there with him might show him Dylan’s idea wasn’t that bad. [color="steelblue”]”Hun, give him to me,”[/color] referring to their child, Dylan ignored his sister and the tension she created, looking over at his wife. [color="salmon”]”Hun,“[/color] little 5-year-old Phoebe repeated after her uncle, leaning back in her seat and covering her mouth to stop herself from giggling. [color="salmon”]”Nooo, Blaise,“[/color] but her smile soon disappeared seeing her little cousin was not in front of her anymore and she couldn’t play with him. Unbuckling the belt, Phoebe got up from her seat, running past her mother and grandma to climb on her grandpas lap and still be with Blaise. Ignoring her mother telling her to sit down the moment her belt came undone. [color="salmon”]”Woooah… it’s so pretty,“[/color] now standing on Elijah’s lap and tightly holding onto his shoulders, Phoebe was looking out of a window after almost an hour of only focusing on her cousin. ”Look, dad!“ Now jumping down and going to her father, she somehow managed to find a place in his arms next to her baby brother, her face against the window.
[color="steelblue”]”Even Phoebe can’t keep listening to you complaining,”[/color] a cheeky grin on his lips, holding his son, Dylan looked back at his sister, obviously joking with her. [color="mediumorchid”]”Dylan,”[/color] but his mother’s voice cut him off, her gaze telling him to shut up. [color="steelblue”]”Oh, relax, mother. We are just messing with each other and… if you’re really curious,”[/color] now looking at Elodie with a smile that seemed forced, he continued quietly this time. ”He said no so let’s hope we don’t end up in a hotel somewhere.”
