*two weeks later*Ashley walks out of the hospital, excited. She went for a check and it was positive, she was two weeks pregnant.The smile on her face was one in a million. There was no way she could hold it up to give her husband this good news.It hasn't been up to a month since they got married, and she is pregnant. Her life now was just exactly the one she's always wished for.A husband whom she loved so much and her unborn baby.She was too consumed in her happiness and thought, that she didn't see Anton coming. She blindly bumps into him, and the paper she was holding falls to the ground."Sorry!" She quickly apologized as she goes down to pick on the results paper only for them to bump their heads with one another.This time, he was the one that apologized."So sorry" he was apologetic.Regardless of what happened, her mood was still fine as she smiles at him."It's ok," she said. " Thanks!" She takes the results paper from him.His gaze never left her face. He didn't know he

Five years later. Ashley paced back and forth through the corridor . She's been feeling uneasy, and not able to catch some sleep. Why won't she? When her husband spends every day and night, fighting. The battle between Middle state and Northland has her sleepless nights but this night was different, everything was just different. She stares at the wall clock. It was three in the morning, she still hasn't slept. Her heart was running a race on its own, and sweets formed on her face as if fighting an invisible war.The sound of sobs was heard, and she rushed in. It was her daughter, little Katie. She seems to be having a nightmare as she cries out begging."Please, daddy…no! Don't go" little Katie cries in her sleep. Ashley pulls her into her arms, comforting her silently. Without realizing it, she fell asleep and only woke up with a shake of her arms."Mama, wake up…you promise to take me to school early" Little Katie has always been time conscious. She is just five years old, but s

"What are you going to eat then?" Ashley asked. Katie stared at the biscuits with a frown, she was thinking."Nothing," she said, indicating with her hands. Ashley smiles at her cuteness."Let mama and Katie eat this one…while grandma has the other one" Ashley proposes and she accepts. They both ate the biscuits happily.Downstairs, Katie walks to Ivanna's side, being careful not to make a sound."Why are you walking like that?" Ivanna asks. Little Katie froze, before moving further."Mama said you are not feeling well, that's why I am walking like that…don't want to make noise" She explains innocently.Ivanna just stares at her without a word."I am sorry for making you angry grandma" she apologized with teary eyes. Ivanna waves her hands, a smile spread on Katie's lips."Grandma…" She called again but Ivanna was done with her calling over and over."What's with grandma, grandma? Don't you know I need rest? Give me some space" She yells angrily. Katie shivers, blinking at her with te

No, honey, you won't die, mama got you" She leans down and places a kiss on her forehead, Katie smiles meekly at her."I-I love y-you, mama" she stutters because of the pain she is feeling. Tears trickled down her face, hitting on Ashley's hands. Her words were like thousand thorns, piercing through Ashley's heart."Mama loves you too, baby…always, mama will never stop loving you," She said. The tears she was trying so hard to control burst out, flowing like a river. With so many difficulties, Katie wipes Ashley's face."Papa, will he come to see little Katie?" Katie asks and Ashley nods."Yes baby, yes he will" Even though She knew he will never come, she still said those words to please her dying daughter. Katie's face twisted in pain."It hurts!" She cries."I want to sleep, mama," Katie said waiting for her reply."Close your eyes, mama is with you…always" Ashley said, pulling her even closer. Katie closes her eyes ever so slowly, silently giving up on life. It was Ashley's harde

Back at Norman's mansion.It's been three days since Ashley left with dead Katie. Ivanna sits on the couch lost in thought.She seems to be thinking about something. Jolly walks past her all dressed up."Jolly!" Ivanna calls, but Jolly doesn't bother responding and just keeps on going."Jolly!!" She calls again but this time, her voice was hard. Jolly responded by turning to her."If you think you are too big enough to walk past me without greeting, then I promise no monthly payments for you" Ivanna threatens. That's the only way she can make her listen. Jolly stares at her with raised brows."Where are you going to?" She questions. "When did you start checking my where about?" Asked Jolly to Ivanna. Ivanna's brow twisted in displeasure."The day you started talking to your mother as if talking to your junior " Ivanna yelled angrily. She can take all but not her daughter talking back while looking at her in the face. Even Ashley didn't dare to."Stop being a pest mom, it's so annoyi
