“When are you flying back home?" Niles asked.
“How's Grandpa?" Wesley asked in return.
“Couldn't be better! He's happy. He eats properly and is in good health." Keith was going to have his great-grandchild soon. He was on the moon with happiness.
Wesley heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that.
"I'll be back soon.”
He hung up.
Niles had been calling him quite often recently. About half a month later, he tried to contact Wesley, but it took three days to get in touch with him.
“Wesley, were you on a mission? I have been trying to call you for three days in a row."
“Yeah.”
"You need to take better care of yourself." ‘After all, you'll be a father soon, ' Niles thought.
“I know."
In order to give Wesley a hint about Blair, Niles tried to talk a lot with him, but Wesley didn't get it and even tried to hang up multiple times.
“Mom's bestie had a 4D color ultrasonic diagnosis today. Wesley, it's a boy!" Niles said excitedly. ‘I'm going to have a nephew. I hope this boy tortures his father to his best ability, ' he thought mischievously.
"Niles, are you out of your damn mind? I don't freaking care!" Wesley roared into his phone.
“Easy, man!" Niles shuddered and cast a pitiful glance at the woman sitting opposite him and casually eating an apple. It was Blair who had forced him to update Wesley about the child.
“If you don't have anything important to say, then get Lost!"
Niles knew that his brother was about to hang up.
“Wesley, any news on
Blair?" he pried.
The mere mention of her made Wesley angrier. After all, he hadn't seen her in months.
“No! Fuck off!"
He hung up angrily.
With his phone in his hand, Niles looked at Blair and pouted, "You heard him. He hasn't had any news of you yet. You can rest easy now. My brother is a smart guy; why is he being so stupid this time? I've given subtle hints so many times, yet he doesn't get it at all. He can't blame me, right?"
Blair nodded, "He can't blame me either. I'm right here, with his family. That means I never left him."
"Yeah!" Niles nodded in agreement.
