Jessica had just given birth but her eyes seemed tightly shut. She seemed to have had a little complication during labor and that had made her pass out for some time. Emerald held Raya as they both strolled towards Claudia's direction, Emerald felt she needed to thank the stranger who had helped them out."Thank you for all your help, I mean if you weren't home when Aunt Jessica went into labor, I don't know what would have happened because Raya wouldn't have done anything," Emerald muttered with a smile which Claudia replied with a small smile. "I would like to know exactly who you are?" Emerald inquired. "Uhmm___ Claudia is my name! I'm Travis' sister." Claudia uttered. "His sister? Uhh,___ it's weird that we are related and I have heard nothing about you," Emerald said, trying to think deeply but her thoughts were caught short by Claudia's next words. "Oh well, we are half-sisters because we don't have the same mother but the same father, it's a really long story so I would allow

Even though Jessica was still weak and exhausted from labor. She still couldn't wait to share the good news with her husband. She had asked Emerald to call him for her so she could share the good news. The minute Travis picked up the phone, Emerald had handed the phone over to Jessica. "Hello, Babe?" Travis' voice filled the phone. "Travis, I just gave birth to our daughter!" Jessica excitedly said. "Really, what did you name our baby girl?" He asked happily. "Sasha," Jessica said."Sasha, my precious darling little girl!" Travis said with a satisfied chuckle. "When are you going to come back home? You know what? Your sister dropped by earlier on!" Jessica explained."Sister?" Travis asked, puzzled. "What sister are you talking about?" Travis asked yet again. "Claudia!" Jessica muttered to the other line. "Claudia!" Travis repeated before going mute. "Travis, are you still on the line? Is something bothering you?" Jessica asked worriedly. "You have to forgive me, Jessica, I'm jus

"Father?" Rose called to gain back her father's attention. Travis gave his eldest daughter a charming smile before ruffling her hair softly. "Of course I love you guys Rose! That isn't going to happen to our family because I love you guys so much." Travis lied as his daughter hugged him tightly. "Babe, what is that thing you were going to tell me about Claudia again?" Jessica asked her husband while patting their newborn baby softly. "I think we should forget about that for now!" Travis said. TWO DAYS LATERIt's been two days since Jessica got discharged from the hospital. She was sitting on the couch breastfeeding her baby while the kids played together. Her husband was in the dining area trying to fix their broken shelf before nailing it to the wall. Her attention was soon divided when she noticed her second daughter Raya breathing hard while holding onto her chest tightly. "Are you okay Raya?" Jessica asked, trudging towards where her daughter was seated and finding it hard to

Claudia's eyes slowly lit up. She was a bit stunned to notice Travis standing beside her, "Travis can you call our daughter? When did you get back? It seemed like I just had a really bad dream but can you tell me why we are in a hospital?" Claudia asked. "I'm sorry Claudia but I can't call Amira because our daughter and your father are dead!" Travis slowly said. "What do you mean dead? No, this isn't happening." Claudia sobbed."My daughter cannot be dead! Amira can't possibly be dead," Claudia screamed in tears. "Claudia, please calm down," Travis said. "Don't tell me to calm down because none of this is real, it's just a bad nightmare right?" Claudia asked, hoping she would be told that she was just dreaming. "Oh God, someone please tell me it isn't true. God, please give me back my daughter, please I'm begging you!" Claudia cried out. "If you grant my wish, I promise that I would do anything you want me to, I would even change for the better! I would do just anything but please g

Two days have passed like the swiftness of the wind. Claudia felt like heaven was on her side! Travis didn't want anything to do with her when he left her but he was here beside her like nothing had happened. She seemed to be staring at the big city through the transparent room of her husband's hospital room. Her husband was lying on the uncomfortable hospital bed with a white bandage all over his head. He was simply unconscious, the only sound that could be heard was the sound of the beeping monitor and the tiny sound it made. The cracking sound of the door got her attention. Claudia slowly turned her gaze to the man who was adorned with a white coat which she thinks was the doctor on duty. "Doctor?" Claudia called walking towards her husband. "Are you by chance the wife of Mr. Franco?" The doctor asked and Claudia gave a simple nod. "Yes, I'm his wife doctor but can you at least tell me how my husband is doing?" Claudia asked. "Hmm___ there is a contusion on the right side of yo
