KAYLA'S POV

"I’m… I’m pregnant."

The words hung in the air, heavy and unmoving.

Lisa’s mouth parted slightly, but nothing came out. Beulah froze beside me, her fingers still laced with mine. For a second, it felt like time stalled. Like even the room was holding its breath.

"Pregnant..." Lisa finally echoed, her voice careful. My throat felt tight, but I forced the words out anyway.

"Yes." I nodded, tears stinging my eyes now.

A bout of silence enveloped us, and no one seemed to have words fo

    THIRD PERSON'S POV"Mama, why aren't you living with Daddy?" Joana asked her mother. "Just like mom." She added.She was only five then, back home with her mother for the holidays. She barely got to see the woman, but whenever she did, she was excited. She didn't like this new arrangement of staying with her father and his family. They were undoubtedly nice and sweet to her, but she missed her mama."Like your stepmother, your mean?" Lilian spat, unable to help the hatred in her voice. "So you call her 'mom', now?""She is nice to me. And she doesn't yell." Little Joana replied innocently, fluttering her lashes. That only seemed to aggravate Lillian even more."Now, listen to me, Joana!" She yelled, just the same way that always made Joana feel sad. "You are not supposed to like her! You should hate her. Hate her daughter! She is the reason why your father and I are not together like you want." She spat, filling Joana's head with silly notions.She was an obsessive freak. She had lov

    KAYLA'S POV "This is all a lot to take in." Mom shook her head in disbelief. "I can't believe Zach would do something like that! You both were just kids, for crying out loud."All the while, Dad just stood there in silence, lost in his own thoughts. Mom looked at the letters in her hand again, shaking her head in disappointment. Apparently, Gabriel had been carrying the letters in his pocket, with the intent of explaining everything to me today.Turns out his father had beat him to it."Hmm." Dad released a deep sigh, before looking at Gabriel. "I have always liked you for Kayla." He began. That wasn't what I expected. "I may not really like how things had gone between you both, but that doesn't mean I am blind to how genuine the feelings between you both are. And I truly want to believe this is meant to be. Even after eight years and all the external efforts to put you both apart, somehow you still made your way back to each other.""Dad." I whispered, getting teary now."You have

    GABRIEL'S POV Kayla's parents and I made our way into the hospital after the smooth press conference. The situation of things had been clarified to our minor shareholders and investors, and it was safe to say that the company's business had been fully settled now.But I knew we had more business to settle after this. The awkward tension between Kayla's parents and I these past few days had been very palpable. "Thank you so much for today, Gabriel. And always." Aunt Amelia suddenly said to me, patting my arm affectionately. "It's nothing, Aunt." I shook my head. We both shared a look and she pulled her hand away, that awkward tension returning. Just great!I was worried that with the way at which things were going, I may risk losing two of the people who had always been supportive and cared for me. I just hoped everything could be resolved with Kayla, without it causing an injury on my relationship with her parents. We got to the female ward where Kayla had been transferred to yes

    KAYLA'S POV "Hello." Chase gave an awkward smile, a large bouquet of flowers resting on his arm."Babe?" Lisa called, looking surprised as she stood from the chair and made her way to him.He looked down at her face and frowned slightly. "Are you okay?""Yes!" She rushed out, plastering a smile on her face. "We... we just got talking about stuff and got... emotional." She chuckled. "Oh-kay." He replied, looking like he didn't buy the lame cover up. In a bid to deflect from the topic, I spoke."Are those mine?" I asked, referring to the flowers he had brought with him.He seemed confused for a moment, before looking down at the flowers and understanding dawned."Yeah, sure. Absolutely." He smiled, leaning down to kiss Lisa before making his way closer to the bed. "It's good to see that you're doing better, Kayla. Lisa told me about the accident, but I was out of town then. Just returned, and I thought to stop by first.""That was sooo thoughtful." Beulah cooed."Hello, Beulah." Chase

    TWO DAYS LATER.KAYLA'S POV "We are just glad that you're getting better, Kay. And even more thankful that he..." Beulah looked down at my belly. "...is fine." She completed. "He?" A small smile made its way to my face as I absentmindedly placed my free hand on my belly. "Who says it's a he?""Personally, I would love a nephew." She winked."I think I'd prefer a princess." Lisa countered."I envy you both." I sighed. "Here you are, arguing what the sex of the child would be, yet I haven't even been able to have 'the' conversation with my parents. God." I whispered."Calm down." Beulah said, settling on the bed next to me. "I honestly think it's gonna go smoothly than you imagine. I mean, they've remained supportive even after the Doctor broke the news.""But have you seen the way they look at me now? At Gabriel?" I released a low groan. "My mom can't even hold my eyes, and it's worse when Gabriel happens to be in the same space with us. Which is hardly. The moment they come in, he g
