_______________________..."You need to get out of the house, Will." Susan sighed. It was a Saturday and Susan was camping out at Willow's place. Trisha, well Trisha had been busy with Daniel Ames since the previous night but she had sent Susan a message that she would take over babysitting duties in the evening so that Susan could have the night with Mathew."What if someone finds out I am pregnant?" Willow asked.Susan rolled her eyes. Her best friend was being too paranoid. "You have a flat tummy, lady. No one will know for a while.""But what if they do?" Willow fretted."You're not going to hide forever," Susan said firmly. "You need to live your life. We'll deal with the pregnancy on your terms, but you can't let fear dictate your every move.""But what if Knox finds out?" Willow's voice was a whisper, her fear rational enough. "What if he asks me to get rid of the baby?" "Then we'll deal with that when it comes," Susan said with surprising calmness. "For now, let's just foc

_______________________..."It's a terrible idea!" Willow shook her head. The gang had come up with her pretending to be in a relationship with Mathew, the man her friend Susan was dating. If that was not a recipe for disaster, she didn't know what was."It is not!" Damien was now seated on the edge of the bed and the gang had been asked twice to leave but they wouldn't budge."I don't want to pretend to be in a relationship with anyone ever again." Willow was adamant. "Look where it got me.""But Will, it's not about pretending," Trisha said, her voice soothing. "It's about protecting yourself and the baby. If we let the media think you're still single, they'll eat you alive for coming in between Knox and Mia.""But I am not coming in between them." Willow protested. "I haven't even seen them in a month.""Well, we all know that the paps don't care about the truth," Susan grumbled."They're already spinning a narrative," Mathew added, his arms folded over his chest. "We need to gi

_______________________...Ivanna was thrilled. THRILLED.She had never had so many customers in her life. The last one hour saw more customers than she had seen in the highest grossing day.Willow, on the other hand, wanted to puke out her measly morning muesli.Unbothered about any of this, star actress Natalie Wright sat on one of the tables in the corners, her bodyguards occupying the surrounding two tables. The policy was simple - produce a receipt and get a selfie."Natalie!" A fan squealed and Willow's head shot up. She had not even noticed her come in.The star waved at the fan with a polite smile and took a sip of her coffee."Your coffee, Miss Wright." Willow approached the table, trying to keep her cool.Natalie looked up, a well-portrayed surprised smile lighting up her face. "Oh, Willow! Thank you. You're working here now?""I am." Willow narrowed her eyes at her friend. "I thought you might have noticed the last three times I served your order."Natalie grinned. "How

_________________________...Willow walked gingerly from the bathroom, not wanting to disturb her equilibrium. She had been puking everything she ate and her world was spinning.Pregnancy was really getting to her. It was a wonder how she survived in the caffeine-infused kitchen of the cafe. Ironically, the strong scent soothed her even though she could not have it anymore.Trisha looked up from her book as Willow emerged. She had been staying with her since the whole paparazzi fiasco. She had become Willow's rock, the one she could lean on when everything felt like it was falling apart."Doesn't Danny boy want to spend the day with you?" Willow asked Trisha. "Why are you hanging around here on a Sunday morning?"Trisha set her book aside, her eyes filled with concern. "Because I care about you, Will, and 'Danny boy' can go kiss his own butt if he can't keep my hands off of me for a few hours."Willow rolled her eyes. Give it up to Trisha Panicker to be a Momma hen and a stone-cold

____________________..."You don't look too good today!" Ivanna noted as Willow stepped out of the staff restroom, looking like she was about to pass out."Thanks," Willow said with a small laugh, trying to play it off. "It's just morning sickness."Ivanna raised an eyebrow. "How far along are you?""A few weeks," Willow replied, hoping the lie wasn't too transparent.Ivanna's gaze softened. "Ah, I remember those days. It's tough, but it's all worth it in the end.""You have children?" Willow was surprised."Three," Ivanna said proudly. "Two girls and a boy. They're all grown up now, but I'd do it all again if I could.""And the father?" Willow knew she was prying but she couldn't contain her curiosity."The sperm donors and the birth givers abandoned them." Ivanna shrugged.Willow was confused. "What?""Adopted." Ivanna clarified.Willow felt a pang of sadness for the woman. "They're lucky to have you," she said sincerely.Ivanna waved it off. "It's all in the past. Now, let's get
