(Jason’s POV) “My…my son?” I asked Juliet, stuttering. Although the boy I was looking at right here had an exact splitting image of me, I didn’t remember having a child with her. “Yeah, I got pregnant after what we did the last time.” Really? I didn’t really put much thought about the fact that the sex we both had could lead to pregnancy. Although I was prepared for it, but I never thought my first time with a lady would yield a fruit. I felt chills of excitement course through my body all at once. So, I am a father? “Oh, I didn’t know.” “How would you when I didn’t tell you?” She asked curtly, giving me that type of eye that suggested a feeling of disgust. But what I really cared about was that this is happening. And I love the fact that it was. “Well, do you suggest we take a seat?” I asked, pointing at the arena that was directly behind us. Even while talking, I still couldn’t get my eyes off…my child. “Let’s make things clear here, I’m returning back to work.” “Okay, let

(Juliet's POV)I knew something was off with me since I took my car and drove to work. It felt unnecessarily silent. I didn't know what was going on, until I noticed the silence. Everything was too peaceful than normal. Then I realized I hadn't received Alice's calls since the day I chased her out of my house. She just simply left as I had asked her, and cut me off.I won't blame her. I would blame myself for flaring up too much. I didn't know why my angst was going over my head these days that I would ask my own best friend to leave my house. In fact, Alice was no longer a friend to me, she was a family to me right now. And I literally just casted that family out.Jogging my memory, I remembered all the time I and Alice had spent together as friends, right from childhood. The day I knew I had to take Alice as my best friend — consciously, or not — was when she lied on herself to protect me while we were still at college. We weren't even very close that time, yet she still did it.The

Eric raced around the room after hearing that Jason would come to pick him up. It was a Saturday morning. Usually, he didn't do much on Saturdays than to follow me to work and sit and watch. This time around, Jason called me to ask if he could take him out for fun. I knew I had so much work to do in my company anyways, so I told him that he could.Eric's joy knew no bounds, listening to me saying that he would be available and that Jason could come pick him up. He had gone that addicted to Jason that sometimes he would even say his name in his sleep. I always wondered how much fun they had both had together. Pfft! Eric can be too playful sometimes too."Let's get you prepared, boy." I said, ruffling through his hair after finally catching up to him. He laughed heartily as I took him to the bathroom.He got his teeth brushed and had his bath. He asked me if he could wax his hair too, and I told him to. I laughed inwardly. See my son getting all cocky about his meeting with Jason.He dr

(Juliet's POV)I don't know what's going on right here, but it almost seemed as if I'm being played by these people. I kinda accepted Jason to sleep in the house only because it was late already, and I wouldn't want anything to happen to him since he came down here to please my son. He said he would sleep on the couch, and I agreed."He can't sleep on the couch either, mom." Eric said, straining his eyes directly at me. "The couch is hard and stiff. It will only give him body pains. We don't want that, do we?"I was dumbfounded. Since when did my reticent son become so outspoken and bold? I mean, the highest words I've seen my son speak at once is barely past a hundred. He literally changed. Or, was I the one that was getting to know my own son right now?I looked at Jason to see what he was doing. His gaze went down to the floor immediately our eyes locked."What do you suggest?" I asked, standing akimbo."There's the mattress you spread for me when I was little. He can sleep on that

(Alice’s POV)“Juliet, c-can you come around? Like, right now. I need you.” I said over the phone, resisting the urge to break down crying. I really can’t believe that Judah would ever think about breaking up with me. All because I mentioned surrogacy? At least, he should understand that I brought it up because I’m in dire need of my own child. And, aren’t we both?“Okay, okay. I’ll be on my way now.” Juliet responded, and I ended the call.Some minutes after I dropped the call, I heard the sounds of tires screeching at the front of the gate. I wondered if Juliet was already here, or if it was just Judah returning to the house. I strained my neck through the window and saw Juliet’s car making its way into the garage.She hurriedly pulled up, and came out of the car. The door was unlocked, so she turned the handle and there I was, standing right at the entrance, looking at her.“Is everything okay?” She asked, running towards me.“To be honest? I am not entirely sure again.” I said, sn
