Jinette POV
One month later

Today I'm eight months pregnant, I have an appointment with Dr Aubert my new obstetrician. Dr Miller had to send over my files because we are still here in France and I'm not cleared to fly either. Dr Aubert is a very hilarious woman that would make me laugh every visit I have with her. I remember the first time she saw Brian and me, she asked how I chopped that branch down. She's not shy about intimacy either and encourages Brian to rock my boat any chance he gets. Trust me my husband has an insatiable appetite, he has no problem crumbling my cookie every chance he gets and at any given moment. The past month had been tough on Brian he had to fly back and forth because of the company and some of our clients.

Granddad is not doing so well either. With each passing day, he is slowly deteriorating and it hurts to see him that way. He uses to be a man full of life and vigour to see him reduced to this level is unbearable to look at. Brian is slowly losing his mind with worries about it. He doesn't like seeing him this way but there is nothing he can do but accept the facts and live with his memories. Granddad is only biding his time because the end is near. Grandpa is also torn up about his friend no family condition because they became brothers a long long time ago. My heart breaks that we all have to witness the end of his life.

The day after I came home from the hospital Anna went back to Guyana. Since she only had one week of special leave because Brian called her on such short notice.

Brian had an emergency back home in New York. He didn't want to leave me but it urgently needed his attention. He will be home tomorrow once all goes well. We have been doing well and he treats me like a royal egg. He spoils me too much, sometimes.

I'm currently putting the final touches on my hair to head to my doctor's appointment. Then shopping to finish setting up for the arrival of our bean. Since everything is back home in New York I will purchase new baby clothes and a crib to set up a corner in our room for the arrival of our bean. I want to surprise Brian as well, he has so much on his shoulders and I know this will put a smile on his face.

As I am about to walk out of the room my phone rings and it's Brian.

"Hi, babe," I answer. "How was your flight."

"Long and boring without you, I miss you here with me."

"You sweet talker, making me blush even when you're not here."

"Only for you baby."

"It better be, I love you and I miss you."

"I love you more wife. Listen Jinette, I called Mr Smith to meet you at Dr Aubert's office."

"Why."

"I don't want you being alone now that your due date is around the corner."

"Brian stops being a worry wort, I'm fine."

"I know your fine but this will put my mind at ease knowing someone's there with you."

"I know you would."

"Good, don't fight me on this."

"Brian please hold for me, I have another call coming in."

That's strange, granddad doctor. She never calls me. Brian made me save the number just in case. I switch over to the doctors call.

"Hello," I answer.

"Is this Mrs Chesney."

"Yes, it is."

"This is doctor Hamilton."

"Ok doctor."

"Sorry to call you this early and with this news. I'm deeply sorry but can you come right away to the hospital."

"Can you tell me what this is about?"

"It's about Mr Chesney. I cannot give you the details over the phone. Brian leaves your information to make contact in case of any emergency while he was not available."

"I'm on my way, Dr Hamilton."

I cut the call connecting with Brian again.

"Babe it's Dr Hamilton she wants me to come to the hospital immediately. I will call grandpa to meet me now."

"Ok, I will make contact with her as well."

"Brian don't worry I will call you as soon as I talk to the doctor. I love you."

"I love you too, be careful."

"I will husband bye."

I cut the call and hurriedly put on my flats and left the house as Keith was waiting on me. I am so on edge the entire drive to the hospital, wondering what could be wrong that doctor Hamilton wanted to see me this early in the morning. I call grandpa on my way telling him to meet me at granddad's room and what doctor Hamilton said to me. He told me they called him too since he is also Mr Chesney's emergency contact.

I enter the hospital a gloom feeling came over me and I couldn't shake it. Goosebumps take over my skin and I know she couldn't be good news.

I waddled as fast as I can to granddad's room. But the room is empty and the bed doesn't have its covers. Grandpa walks in behind me putting his hand on my shoulders, the moment I turn around and look at grandpa's face I knew granddad is gone. I place my hand over my mouth trying to contain my sobs from ringing through the hospital halls.

I had to sit to contain myself, I knew this would have happened but I wasn't prepared for it today.

"Oh grandpa, what's going to happen."

"Angel, it's ok we knew this is how it ends for Jordan."

" I don't even know how to call Brian with this," he just leaves here only for me to call with this news.

"Brian knows this is how it ends and I'm deeply sorry for his loss."

"Yours as well grandpa. You're losing more than a friend. I know how much he meant to you."

I was an emotional wreck as grandpa and I try to console each other. I cry not only for myself but for my husband, this will devastate him. Brian has a bond with his grandfather as I have with grandpa and I know how much this would hurt me if it was pa'.

How are we to move on from the people we love so much? just the hope of meeting them again in another life. Thoughts of where we begin and end will forever be, as we carry on. All these things are unspoken as we move through life recognizing the shape of things to come.
