5 months later...

Lauren's POV

"Camila," I walk into her home office.

Camila looks up from the documents she's looking at. "What's wrong?" She asks.

"I have an appointment today with the doctor," I said.

"For?" Camila asks.

"To find out the gender of the baby," I said.

Camila leans back in her chair as she bites her lower lip. "I bet you're expecting me to go with you," She says.

"You haven't gone to a single appointment," I said.

"I told you the day you moved in with me that I will just pay for everything but to be involved, I can't do that," Camila says. She puts the files away and stands up. "Plus, a very important matter came up and I won't be able to go," She says.

"What kind of important matter?" I ask.

"One that my uncle will have to explain," Camila says.

"Okay then, I will see you tonight," I said.

Camila's POV

Later, I walk into my uncle's backyard as I find him playing wrestling toys with Jayden.

My uncle moves and slowly starts to rub Jayden's shoulder.

"Can I know why you hid the testament of my parent's fortune?" I speak up.

My uncle looks at me before he tells something to Jayden and the little boy leaves. 

"That is not a way to talk to me, Camila," My uncle stands from where he's seated.

"You don't deserve any of my fucking respect," I said.

My jaw clenches as I point towards the way Jayden disappeared off to.

"And stay away from Jayden because I will not allow you to rape him as you did to me," I said.

"You are confused. I did not rape you, Camila," My uncle says.

"Really? Because of what you are doing to Jayden... You did to me," I said. I sigh deeply before I hand the folder to my uncle. "My parents' lawyer contacted me yesterday saying that my parents left me their fortune. Why did you not tell me this?" I ask angrily.

"I guess your parents' lawyer didn't tell you but I am the one that gets to decide if you get the fortune or not," My uncle says.

"Well, you are going to fucking give me my fortune because I need it," I said.

"Why? Because you need the money for the kid you are expecting with your girlfriend?" My uncle questions.

I take a step back as my eyes widen. "How... How did you... Figure out about that?" I ask.

"I once overheard your aunt and Harry talking about it, all excitedly. Why didn't you tell me?" My uncle says.

"Because you will never meet my kid," I said. I point at the folder he's holding. "I want those documents signed. I want my fortune," I said.

Lauren's POV

Later that night, I walk into Camila's room as she gets ready for bed.

"Are you not going to tell me what that important matter was?" I speak up.

Camila sighs as she walks over to me. "My parents' lawyer met with me yesterday. He told me that I was going to inherit my parents' fortune but it's up to my uncle to decide," Camila explains.

"Do you truly need that fortune?" I ask.

"I do. I will need it for you and... For the kid," Camila says.

"Speaking about the kid, I have its gender and the ultrasound," I said. I take out the photo from the small folder I'm holding and I hand it to her.

Camila walks closer to me as she rests a hand on my belly. She stares at the ultrasound with amazement as her hand caresses my belly. "What gender?" She asks.

"A boy," I said.
