Eva's Pov

Mateo's going to be one soon and I am currently seven weeks pregnant. I am at the doctors appointment with Louis and we heard the baby's heartbeat. We got pictures to send to Tina and his Father in London.

After the appointment I sit down in Rafael's office as we discuss what to do

"So my lawyer said they could go easy on me or they could wanna make an example out of someone like me." Rafael says

"That's exactly what I'm worried about. Look I want to believe that everything will work out okay if you're a good person, and you click your heels and wish on a star, but unfortunately I don't think that's true." Petra says

"And neither does Jane." Rafael says

"Pleas just hear my idea. Raf, you know I have no ulterior motive except that I love you." She says and we look at her. "As the father of my children. As my family." She corrects

"Krishna, hold my calls please." Rafael says and listens to Petra's idea. I do not think Derek is that dumb to fall for this.

So Derek was not dumb enough to fall for it and now Jane get to gloat to Petra. It's like it's a competition between them to prove to Rafael who needs him more. I suddenly get an urge to eat ice cream covered in pickle juice. I told Louis about it and in ten minutes he showed up with three of my favourite flavours of ice cream and a jar of pickles. Not once did he question how weird it was.

The next day it's Mateo's birthday and I enter the hospital holding a cake as we all sing happy birthday to the now smiling one year old.
