Ray is in love!

Chapter 83__A mom -to - be

Seconds turned into minutes, minutes into hours, hours into days, days rolled upon days, weeks rolled upon weeks, months rolled upon months.
Three months passed and Ray didn't wake up. Now, the possibility of waking up is so low. Even the doctors are losing hope.
Gradually Mrs Dalton became closer to Dorris. She will always console her. She will even cook for her and manage the house hold for her.
Ashley had moved in with Dorris. Louis begged her to because of Dorris condition. They can't let her be alone at home. Ashley had been a great company to her.
Whenever Dorris is having her mood swings, Ashley is very understanding.
Whenever she didn't want to eat Ashley will force her to.
"You don't need to eat but your baby needs to"
Dorris will have no option but to eat after hearing this.
Whenever Dorris start brooding, Ashley is always there too
"You can't go into depression. Think about your baby and cheer up",
Dorris will cry at times but she always fo that in her room. When Ashley found out, she even moved into the same room with Dorris.
" You're not only my friend, you ate my sis in law too. I have to be there for you always"
Douglas on the other hand will always visit the house, he is mostly coming over to be able to see his girlfriend.
"Hello sis",  Douglas greeted as he entered the house. He is now the director of the subsidiary company he is working.
Ray father had taken over the company again and he is actually looking for someone to take the company from him. After all this months, his wife and him have thought things over and have decided to accept this daughter in law of theirs. They even visited Dorris father and apologized to him. Louis forgave them.
" All parents wants a good marriage life for their daughter. Please don't apologise, just take care of my daughter. Treat her like you will treat your own child and I will ask of nothing more", the man said.
Mr Dalton saw that Dorris is the only family he have left and he wants her to take over the company but he don't know how to tell her, considering the fact that she is pregnant and the fact that she is always missing Ray.
He had calked Douglas once after investigating and he found out that Douglas is quite good at what he does.
"Soon, you will move into H&D headquarter to assist your sister. I will make you a CFO."
"My sis agreed to work at H&D? What about her career. I thought she is planning to return to the agency after she gave birth",  Douglas said.
" Her career? She will be a business woman not an artiste. After all she is the daughter in law of our family.", Mr Dalton said.
Douglas want to say something else but he decided against it.
He wanted to say
'This is my sister dream'
But he knew better. The moment Dorris married Ray, she'd given up her dream.
"Thank you sir",  Douglas said.

Guy visited Dorris once too and consoled her in his own way.
While everyone is sad about Ray's condition, he's quite happy when he heard about it but when he visited Dorris and saw how she look he felt sad.
'How dare that idiot make her sad. Isn't better if he just died and be forgotten once and for all?'

Once Dorris was in the hospital to see Ray. Her baby bump is now very obvious.
She was sitting by Ray's bed reading a news paper to him.
The door to the VIP room opened and Mr Dalton entered.
Dorris stood up when she saw him.
" Hello sir"
"Oh! You're here",  Mr Dalton pretended he didn't know Dorris was there. Meanwhile, he rushed over when he heard from the bodyguards guarding Ray that Dorris is around.
Dorris just nod and sat down. She continued what she was doing.
" I wonder if you know that your husband was the chairman and president of H&D before his accident ", Mr Dalton began.
" He is my husband. I knew what he is up to", Dorris replied.k
"Did you also know that since his accident GK has no managing President."
Dorris did not say anything.
"You are the only family Ray left behind. I wonder if you knew that H&D is now your responsibility. You have to manage it well for your husband."
Dorris scoffed.
"I even have to take over his responsibility"
"Give birth and take over the company", Mr Dalton said.
" You can't tell. My husband may wake up before I give birth.", Dorris said.

Melinda visited Dorris several times and Mrs Dalton even ran into her once. Mrs Dalton felt awkward when she saw her but Melinda greeted her and she managed to answer properly.
"Dorris dear, have you eaten? I bought some home made donut for you. I'm very sure you will like it"
"Thank you mom",  Dorris said.
" What? Do you just call me mum? Oh my God! Have you forgiven me?", she asked.
"Mom, you didn't even offend me", Dorris said.
" Oh my God. This girl, you have a nig heart. God bless you", Mrs Dalton said.
"Let's be closer, okay. Let's go shopping together. Let's drink afternoon tea together."
"Okay mom. I want to go shopping for my baby's cloth tomorrow. Let's go together",  Dorris said and flash the woman a smile.
" Yes. Let's go together "

Seven months after Ray's accident

Dorris visited Louis. Louis was very happy to see her.
"How are you doing?",  He asked Dorris.
"I'm fine",  Dorris replied.
She is now very heavy with her child.
" My sweet heart, you have to be strong. You're going to

be a mom soon. A mom have to remain strong for her child. You gerrit? ", her father asked her.
" Dad, I heard you clearly", Dorris said.
Louis smiled.
"Let me quickly whip out something for you in the kitchen",  Louis said and entered the kitchen.
