The next morning...

"Is it really necessary for you guys to go there?" Adele asked.

My eyes flicked towards Peter who's carrying our bags to the car, then sighed.

"Yeah.."

She frowned at the bags Peter's carrying, then took my hands in hers and pouted.

"Why are y'all taking so much bags with you? Do you plan on settling there already?"

I frowned slightly, then burst into a brief laugh.

"Adele, we might stay for some days.. you're making it sound like I'm abandoning you"

"Are you not?" she asked.

"You're just being overly dramatic" I told her.

Just then we heard a knock on the door, I wanted to go get it but Adele told me not to bother.

Her flicked to my stomach and she smiled, she pushed me onto a sofa and made me sit down.

"You should take care of yourself now" she said, her eyes still on my stomach.

I rolled my eyeballs.

"I told you guys, this might just be a false alarm"

Honestly, I didn't want anyone to find out about this just yet, because it might be a false alarm.

But ma Gloria had her own plan, she made sure to broadcast the news this morning.. even when I was telling them not to be too excited yet.. they wouldn't listen to me.

Even Thana... He didn't react the way I had expected, I thought he'd be so surprised and stuffs but he didn't.

Although, he acted surprised, but it's clear that he was faking it.. so I guess he's long suspecting this.

"Jas?" she snapped her fingers in front of my eyes.

"Yeah?"

"Even if.." she rested her hand on my stomach. "...this was supposed to be a false alarm, God will have mercy and perform a miracle"

"Hmm" I hummed in disbelief.

She smacked my shoulder and frowned at me.

"Say amen to that!"

"Fine... Amen!" I said.

She smiled. "That's much better, I'll be right back"

Then she rushed towards the door.

My hands landed on my stomach, I rubbed it with a hopeful smile... I really pray this is true... I really wanna give my son a kid bro or kid sis.

"Jas, look who's here!" Adele said.

I lifted my head and saw my family, mom.. dad.. jade in a wheelchair.. Arthur and... Victoria?

My expression changed drastically, what is she doing here? Is she here for another fight?

Because I'm d*mn ready! I got up in a fighting stance.

"What are you doing here?" I asked her in a hostile tone.

She turned to Arthur, he tapped her shoulder comfortingly and stepped forward.

"We're not here to fight you, Jas"

"Oh, really?"

Arthur nodded.

"Yeah.. we are just here to say sorry and congratulations" his eyes moved to my stomach when he said the last part.
