"Yes, just tell him I'll be with him in a hour, I'm still on my lunch!" I said, hanging up the phone.


I put my head in my hands, "More tea Ms.Kelly?" Daniel, my assistant asked.


"No, thank you though." I smiled. "But would you mind getting me some water?"


"Sure." He smiled, walking away.


I flipped through the new files on my desk, when a very farmiliar name came across my desk.


Harriet Kelly.


I opened up the file and scanned through it.


Harriet G. Kelly, widow to Joeseph P. Kelly, all leftover money to go to Daughter(s) Amy Kelly, aged 29, Sarah T. Kelly, aged 25, and Caley J. Kelly, aged 20.


WHAT? I dialed my bosses number, asking her to come to my office.


"Yes dear?" She asked, sitting on the side of my desk.


"Harriet G. Kelly, care to explain?" i asked.


"Oh, she came in asking for you specifically, do you know her?" Hse asked.


"Yeah, shes my mother, and she divorced my dad two years before he died. Why does she want his money? It should be going to me because I was in his will, and they werent." I siad.


"Well, " she said, grabbing his will from the file, "It says right here that Amey, Sarah and Caley get the money, your name isnt in here." she said, handing it to me.


I looked it over. "This wasnt his will, because the printing date was 2017. And hsi was printed in 2015, before he even knew he was going to die." I said.


"well, I'm due to clock out, so I'll see you tomorow, maybe you should try to talk to your mom?" She asked.


"Yeah, maybe." I said.

My phone started ringing, and I answered it lazily.


"Britteny Kelly, how can I help you." I said.


"Yes, this is David Henrey, from the East town Medical center, I have some news for you." He said.


I looked at the clock and it read 7:45 pm, what doctor calls this late on a Sunday?


"Okay, and what news might that be?" I asked.


"well, when you came to the center last week for your regular check up, and how we did a blood sample to see your cholestorol levels, we found that you are pregnant Ms.Kelly. Did you plan this?" He asked


I dropped the phone. What?
