AT MIDNIGHT
"Sweetheart, wake up." Raina heard someone whisper in her ear. It was Ronald.
"Is anything the matter?" she muttered in a sleepy voice, her eyes still closed.
"Yes, babe. I just got a call from Gabriel. Jemma is in labor."
His statement made Raina sit up immediately.
"But she isn't due until next week." She said with a yawn.
"Anyway things like this happen, can we go meet them at the hospital?" She asked.
"Of course, that was why I woke you up," Ronald said. They got down from the bed and went in search of the nearest clothes they could find.
When Ronald and Raina got downstairs, they knocked on Clarice's door and informed her that they were going to the hospital for the arrival of their goddaughter.
Raina recognized the hospital. It was the same one she was brought to when Ronald found her unconscious; St Mary's hospital. Ronald parked the car, got down, and went to the other side to open the door for her. H

Ronald excused himself to go hang out with Gabriel while Raina was seated with Jemma when she saw Loretta approaching her. She mentally grumbled as she wondered who invited her."Hi," Loretta said with a small smile as soon as she approached them. There was an empty chair beside Raina so she sat on it."I came to talk to you, Raina." She said, not caring Jemma was on the same table with them and was likely to hear whatever she had to say"I'm truly sorry for everything I put you through. I guess I was so obsessed with Ronald but you need not worry, it's all over now. He likes you, he's engaged to you and there is nothing I can change about that. I believe if I put myself out there and give myself the chance to mingle, I will find someone like your fiance. I'm happy for you guys and congratulations on your engagement."

“Ronald is very lucky to have you. I’m sure he is going to be surprised.” Jemma smiled.“I’m so blessed to have him too. But I feel a little guilty about not being able to throw him a proper birthday party.” Raina responded.“You’ve not been feeling too well lately so it’s understandable,” Jemma said.“I know.” She looked down at her seven months old bump. “It wasn’t like this with Adrie. I remember working till the first few days of my nine month pregnancy but with Jayden, I feel tired without even doing anything.”“Ronald has been working from home since Monday to take care of me. He didn’t want to leave today but something urgent came up so he had to show up at the office.”“I just pray that everything goes as planned and thank you for helping me.” She said to Jemma.“Of course, what are friends for?” Jemma c

“Jemma, please take her home. Ronald and I will join you guys soon.” Gabriel said.“I’m not going back to that house,” Raina said firmly.“Then Jemma can take you to our place. Please, Raina.” Gabriel pleaded.Ronald did not want Raina to go but on the other hand, he knew she needed her space to calm down. He was glad Gabriel suggested going to his house. He knew she would be safe there with Jemma rather than being alone in a hotel.After Jemma and Raina left, Ronald and Gabriel walked back to Ronald’s office.“What are you still doing here? Haven’t you caused enough HARM already?” Ronald lashed out at Annabell.“Oh, please, She was bound to go sooner anyways.”“Just get the hell out of my office and don’t come near me because I’m getting a restraining order against you.”“Suit yourself.” She hissed and then left hi

Despite his wife being unwell and placed on bed rest, she went out of her way to plan a surprise party for him.“I’m so sorry, love.” He kissed her forehead.“I’m sorry too.
