Harper : We have to talk.
Jack : You're right, we do.
Harper : You haven't given me an explanation!
Jack : I got drunk. Way too drunk to drive. A young lady happened to be there and helped me by taking me to a hotel. We didn't sleep together and I didn't lay a finger on her. In other words, no I did not cheat on you.
Harper : I don't believe you!
Jack : If you don't trust me we can file for a divorce.
Harper : What?! You're going to leave me just like that?!
Jack : The choice is yours Harper.
Harper : You're going to throw away eight years of love just like that..?
Jack : ...
Harper : I can't believe you're doing this to me and your child...
Jack : What are you talking about?
Harper : ....
Jack : Harper!
Harper : I didn't want to tell you yet..
Jack : Continue..
Harper : I'm pregnant..
Jack : You're.....you're serious?!
Harper : I wouldn't lie to you like that..
Jack : Oh Harper...my love!
Harper : Oh now you love me?! A second ago you were asking for the divorce!
Jack : I wasn't serious.
Harper : -eye roll-
Jack : You make me very happy I hope you know that Harper..
Harper : For a second I feared that I'd lose you.
Jack : Never! I love you Harper.
Harper : I do too love.

Vito : I have to talk to you about something Bella.
Sofia : Okay
Vito : I have to go to Italy on a business trip. I'll be gone for two months.
Sofia : Two months?
Vito : Yes and I want you to come with me. I don't want to imagine two months without you.
Sofia : Vito, I can't. I'm sorry but I can't. I have college and I can't change my schedule right now...
Vito : I understand then.
Sofia : When do you leave?
Vito : Tonight!
Sofia : Oh already?
Vito : Yes I have some business to do over there but I'll be calling you every single day.
Sofia : -smile-
Vito : I have something for you.
Sofia : What is it?

Sofia
He took out a small rectangular box from his suit and opened revealing a beautiful diamond necklace.

Sofia : Oh my..
Vito : A gift for you.
Sofia : Vito it's beautiful but it looks hella expensive! You didn't have to spend that much on me!
Vito : The thing is I wanted to.
Sofia : Thank you! I love it!

Sofia
It's really beautiful. Unfortunately I won't keep it. Instead I'll go and change it for a cash. Adam needs the money.

Adam : Can I know why are you in Chicago?
Monica : I finished this year so I'm on break.
Adam : Oh and you're staying here then?
Monica : I'm going to start working and get my own apartment.
Adam : You can always stay here.
Monica : Yeah I know but couples like their privacy. She's really pretty by the way! She looks so much younger though. How old is she?
Adam : She's twenty..
Monica : Wow that's eight years!
Adam : Yeah I know but she's at the legal age and that's what's important.
Monica : No what's important is that you treat the girl right!
Adam : Of course
Monica : How into her are you?
Adam : Very much into her. She's the sweetest.
Monica : Awwwww!
Adam : Sadie came looking for me the other day.
Monica : She's getting divorced.
Adam : Yeah she told me.
Monica : Have you talked to her since?
Adam : No
Monica : Hopefully she won't come back around.
Adam : Let's hope not.

Vito : Did you enjoy the food?
Sofia : As always!

-phone ring-

Sofia : Oh it's my dad.

-phone call-

Sofia : Hello?
Jack : Hello sweetie I need to talk to you. Can you come over?
Sofia : I don't want to see that wife of yours.
Jack : She's not here. She went out.
Sofia : I don't want to risk bumping into her.
Jack : Okay let's meet wherever you're staying at.
Sofia : Um let's meet at the coffee shop.
Jack : Okay...? I'll be there in ten.
Sofia : See you there! -ends call- My dad wants to meet with me..
Vito : Let's go then.

Sofia
We went outside where we had to say goodbye. He's driving directly to the airport now. I had to kiss him or else I'd look suspicious. After we said goodbye we drove away. Let's see what daddy has to say this time.

Adam : Where are you going to work?
Monica : At the local hospital. I'm starting tomorrow. My shift is everyday from 7am to 3pm.
Adam : Good for you.
Monica : What about you? Are you still painting?
Adam : Yeah my paintings have been selling great lately thanks to Sofia.

Adam
My sister doesn't know about the debt I have. She thinks all the money I got were from my paintings. I don't want to tell her so she won't worry.

Jack : Hey sweetie!
Sofia : Hi
Jack : We have to talk.
Sofia : About?
Jack : I really need you to be patient with Harper.
Sofia : Oh my god dad stop! Harper and I will never get along! Please just accept that already.
Jack : I need you to be patient with her because she's pregnant.
Sofia : ...
Jack : Now listen Sofia, I know what you must be feeling but know this, just because I'm having a child with a woman that's not your mother doesn't mean I'll forget about you. You're my everything, you're my princess, my very first baby. I love you Sofia and I always will. Nothing, absolutely nothing and no one can rip that love away.
Sofia : I love you too daddy..

Sofia
His words really did touch me. I stood up and hugged him very tightly afraid to let go. I started to feel warm and then I felt some tears fall down my face.

Sofia : I love you dad but don't expect me to tolerate her. Things between us won't change and regarding the baby I don't have anything against it but it's hard for me to know that it's another woman giving you a child. I need time to fully accept it.
Jack : I understand that.
Sofia : Thank you..
Jack : Where are you staying?
Sofia : Oh um- with a friend.
Jack : What friend?
Sofia : A college friend.
Jack : What's her name?
Sofia : Stella...
Jack : Oh right I think you've mentioned her before.
Sofia : Mhm

Sofia
We stayed there a little more. It's been so long since my dad and I got a chance to relax just the two of us. He's either always busy or with Harper. After we had some coffee he went back to the mansion. I went back to Adam's.

Sofia : -walks in- Hey!
Adam : Welcome back beautiful! Monica is asleep since she has work tomorrow.
Sofia : Oh okay! -kiss- I missed you!
Adam : And I missed you.
Sofia : I'm gonna go for a quick shower.
Adam : I moved all your things to my bedroom which is now ours.
Sofia : Okay -cough-
Adam : Still sick?
Sofia : I was feeling better but I guess it's back.
Adam : I'll make you something while you shower.
Sofia : Okay! Thank you baby.
