Chapter 13
Rhianna turned up 5 minutes early to her job interview with Jess – Scarlett was with Liam.
“Rhianna you’re early” Jess stated coming out from her office at her studio.
“I am” Rhianna said awkwardly – she hadn’t seen Jess since they finished school.
“Uh, would you like to come through to my office?”
“Sure” Rhianna said following behind Jess.
“So, what other designers have you worked for?”
“I haven’t worked for a designer before”
“Okay, what have you been doing since you finished school?” Jess knew the answers to all of these questions but it was part of the job interview and she wasn’t going to treat Rhianna any differently to any other potential employee.
“When I finished school I got into the police academy but I was asked to leave because I fell pregnant.” Rhianna knew why Jess was being so cold, she hated her and Rhianna didn’t blame her she would hate Jess if she had been the cause of one of her best friends broken heart. After a few more questions and looking through her portfolio Jess had decided Rhianna wasn’t qualified enough for the job and that she wasn’t going to take her on.
“I’m sorry Rhianna, but I don’t think I can take you on to our team because I feel that you’re not qualified enough”
“Oh, well thanks for your time anyway” Rhianna said putting away her portfolio and heading for the door, she couldn’t help thinking it was all because of what she had done in past.
“Rhianna, I know what you’re probably thinking and I really didn’t take you on because I didn’t think you had enough qualifications.” She said as Rhianna was leaving her office.

“This might be a bit cold” The ultrasound technician said before squeezing a blob of the gel onto Molly’s stomach. She moved the sensor around a little bit before she got a picture up on the screen.
“And that’s your baby there” she said pointing to something that remotely represented a head.
“That’s it?” Harry asked making Molly jump, she had forgotten he was sitting there.
“Yeah that’s it, but you won’t be saying that in 6 months time. Would you guys like a picture?”
“Yeah we would, but you said 6 months don’t you mean 9?”
“No, I mean 6 you’re 13 weeks pregnant”
“You’ve got to be kidding me” Molly whispered to herself.
“Hey Jess” Molly said answering her phone.
“Hey, I didn’t give her the job” Jess said feeling kind of guilty.
“Good, you didn’t owe her anything, not even Chloe owes her anything, none of us do, except for Liam.”
“I didn’t not give her the job because of what I do or don’t I owe her I didn’t give it to her because she wasn’t qualified enough.”
“But yesterday when Chloe asked if you could set up an interview you told me that you weren’t going to give her a job no matter how impressive she was.”
“I know, but when I saw her today I felt sorry for her, she looked so tired and run down,” she sighed, “Well, I guess that’s what newborn babies do to ya”
“Yeah I guess” Molly agreed.
“Why did you sound all depressed just then?”
“Jess, I’m 3 months pregnant”
“Ah, what? Are you messing with me?”
“No”
“Yes you are, I bet that when we end this call and you finally get me to believe you, you and Harry will start laughing.”
“Jess, I’m not joking I’ve got ultrasound pictures if you want to come over and see for yourself.”
“Okay I’m coming over now” she said and hung up.
