Diane had just driven out of the garage when she saw Justin's car coming up the driveway, shutting off her car she stepped from it and waited for him to come to a stop. "Hi, I didn't know you were coming here this morning." She says as he steps from his car. "Good morning, how are you feeling this morning?" He asks. "I honestly don't know anymore, I mean physically I'm not in any discomfort but mentally I'm a wreck but I'm still trying to remain calm so my blood pressure won't spike again."
"Okay then, now as to the reason why I'm in your driveway so early, it wasn't on my agenda to be here but someone wanted to talk to you very badly, so here I am." "Who?" she asks looking towards his car as Jared opens the door and steps out.
"Good morning, sorry for the delay, I was on the phone with my soul mate who is currently overseas..." "What are you doing here?" She asks narrowing her eyes at him. "Well, in my last conversation with you I told you that I was willing to help you in whatever way I can but before I can do that I need to know if you need or even want my help?" he asked.
"And how exactly do you plan on helping me?" She ask her hands folded across her chest. "Well, there isn't a magic wand that I can wave around and fix all your problems but if we take this one day at a time I'm sure we can improve your situation but I need to hear you say it, do you need my help?" She glanced at Justin but said nothing. "Hey, it couldn't hurt and you have to admit that things can't get much worse than this." Justin reply.
"Ugh, okay, I'll accept your help, what is it you want me to do first?" she asked in a dry tone. "Change that dress, you're the boss, not a widower." "What's wrong with my dress?" "Woman, if you're going to question everything I tell you to do then this is going to take a really long time." He huffs, "Now permission to enter your closet." "Why?" She asks. "Christ of Daniel," Jared groans taking a deep breath. "Alright answer me this, what is my outfit saying to you right now?" "I'm an arrogant, rich, showoff." She replies dryly.
"Wrong, it says I'm confident, I do not tolerate bullshit and I'm not to be messed with, once I set my mind on something or someone that I want, I let nothing stand in my way of getting it, just ask my soul mate." He laughs. "Mindset is everything, you have a lot of messes to clean up and you need the confidence to do it, that dress does not scream confidence, it's just sad." "Stop overthinking it, just go for it," Justin says poking her shoulder. "Alright then, follow me."
A few minutes later she opened her closet door and indicated for him to go in and after shoving another shake in her hand, he did. For a while, all he did was check her clothes in silence while tapping his fingers on his chin. "So it's not that you don't have the ammunition, you just don't know how to use it." He said turning to face her. "Drink that, you're going to need it, Mrs. Jackson is a health nut, so whatever she recommends to you is for the sole purpose of improving your health." He says while taking out a few pieces of clothes. "Go put these on." He says handing them to her. Placing the shake on a table she took the clothes and went into the bathroom.
"Isn't this a little too much?" She asks stepping from the bathroom. "boom! Much is good, daddy likes, now listen to me, to hell with anyone who thinks that you're not good enough for your husband, he marries you, you have his last name, his ring, and his kids, he belongs to you, fight for your title as his wife, as the love of his life, then claim it, you deserve that and so much more, now grab your shake and let's go, there's much for you to do." he says snapping his fingers as he walks towards her bedroom door.
"So what? Are you going to come over here and help me get dressed each morning?" She asks with a small laugh. "Nah, while you were changing I organized a few outfits for the next few days but if you need me for anything else, just holla." He said handing her one of his business cards.
"People will think that I'm trying too hard." She snorts looking down at her outfit. "People will judge you regardless of what you do but this isn't about them, instead of bickering with them just stay focused on why you're doing this, okay." "Okay," "Oh wow, now that's one powerful outfit," Justin says as she enters the living room.
"You don't think it's too much?" she asks nervously. "Oh it's a lot but if this is what it takes for people to remove their heads from their asses and start paying attention then I'm all for it, and one more thing, sometimes I get very busy with all the meetings and such, and not able to be there for you whenever you need me so I have hired a personal assistant for you."
"A what now?" Diane snaps. "A personal assistant and don't you dare shut this down, you're carrying precious cargo and you need help with all the problems that will no doubt be popping up each day, he will be meeting us at the hospital, and Jared you can drive my car, I'll drive Diane's, let the shock and awe begin," Justin says heading out the front door and towards the vehicles.

On arriving at the hospital Diane noticed various expressions on people's faces as she passed by, some with scorn, some with utter shock, and some with a 'what the hell is she up to now' look. "Square your shoulders and dig in your heels, this battle has just begun," Jared whispered from beside her as his phone rang. "You go on to Samson's room while I take this call," he says moving away from her.
"And I will go meet your assistant, we'll be in shortly, be strong," Justin says patting her shoulder. "Okay," she says walking slowly towards her husband's room.
"You just can't take a hint, can you?" Diane growls from behind Karen as she enters Gabriel's room. "And why the hell are you talking to him about my baby?" Diane demand. "I wasn't," Karen replied in a hostile tone without looking at Diane. "I heard you telling him that his baby needed him, which is true but it makes me sick hearing it from your lips," Diane says dropping her bag on one of the chairs.
"After everything you did, you still think the world revolves around you, don't you?" Karen asks getting up and turning to face Diane. "F y I, I wasn't talking about your baby, I was talking about mine, Mine, and Gabriel's." She said with a wicked smirk as she saw Diane's reaction. "What did you just say?" "You heard me bitch, I'm carrying Gabriel's child." She says massaging her stomach.
"So if you thought that child you're carrying and that stupid outfit you are wearing is somehow going to make him forgive you, think again, you look like a damn clown, my man is so done with you and I couldn't be happier, I think it's time you start looking for a good divorce lawyer," Karen says storming from the room almost knocking down the assistant who was on his way in.
