Grace came home a few hours later and ran inside to Connie and Jacob.
"Hey sweetheart, did you have a nice time?" Connie asked but Grace didn't respond, instead she gave them a peculiar look and backed away slightly.
"What's wrong?" Jacob asked.
"Daddy told me how babies are made..." She stuttered.
"What?!" Connie practically shouted.
"You two did special kissing and cuddling with no clothes on at all?! And you weren't even together? Mummy that's really weird!" Grace said.
Connie breathed a sigh of relief that Sam hadn't gone into full detail, "I know it may sound weird sweetheart but it's how babies are made, Noah wouldn't be here without it" she told her.
"I suppose it's a good thing then" she giggled.
"Yes, now come and give your baby brother a cuddle, he's missed you" Connie said as she held Noah out to Grace.

They went into the kitchen leaving Noah in Grace's arms and started laughing to each other.
"That could of been worse" Jacob smirked.
"Oh much worse" Connie said as she wrapped her arms around his muscular torso.
"I love you beautiful" he whispered.
"I love you too muscles" she replied before pressing her lips to his.
He smiled into her kiss then parted her lips with his tounge, slipping it into her mouth.
Connie moved her hands up to the back of his head and neck, keeping him in place as he dropped his hands to her bum.
She moaned into the kiss as they roamed each other's mouths, only pulling apart when the doorbell rang.

"I'll go" Connie said before wandering off to the door.
She opened it coming face to face with Layla who stood there nervously, "is Jacob in?" she asked.
"I... Err, yes he is. Come in" Connie said then she walked back through to the kitchen.
"Jacob, you have a visitor" she said.
"Layla, what are you doing here?" Jacob asked as he turned around.
"I'm pregnant" she told him.
Connie whipped round and dropped the plate she had just picked up in shock, it shattered on the floor as both her and Jacob stood there staring at Layla.
"You're sure?" Jacob asked.
"Very sure" Layla replied as she took a sonogram photo from her bag and handed it to him.

"I'll leave you to it" Connie said but Jacob grabbed her hand to stop her walking away, "no, please stay" he said.
"Jacob there's something you need to know" Layla told him.
"Besides the fact that you're pregnant?" He said.
"Yes. I know you're going to hate me and I shouldn't of done it but I just got so jealous. You two were spending so much time together and of course you would be, Connie was carrying your baby, but I couldn't help be jealous about it. You were staying over here, days out together, you couldn't seem to keep your hands off each other. I shouldn't of done it and I do regret it so I'm sorry, but I need your DNA. I need to do a paternity test" Layla admitted.

"You mean, you cheated on me?" Jacob asked.
"I'm sorry, I just felt so lonely and I was really jealous. I could see how you felt about Connie and I just needed to be with someone that wasn't thinking of another woman when lying in bed with me" she told him.
Jacob sighed, "who was it?" he asked.
"That doesn't matter" Layla replied.
"Who was it?!" he asked again.
"Cal" she confessed.
Jacob sighed, "just buy a paternity test kit then you can have my DNA" he told her.
"Thank you" she said sincerely.
"Layla how far along are you? I mean for the last two months we were together we didn't have sex at all" Jacob said.
"I know, I'm almost six months pregnant. I knew that maybe the baby wasn't yours so I wasn't going to tell you, I wasn't going to let you find out which is why I wouldn't have sex in case you noticed but I've realised that I can't do it on my own so I came to tell you. You deserve to know anyway" she said.

"You're unbelievable! Six months it's taken for you to tell me that you may of been carrying my child! You need to leave, now" Jacob told her.
"Fine, I'll call you when I've gotten the kit" she replied with a sigh then walked out.
Connie placed her hand on Jacob's shoulder and looked at him, "are you ok?" she asked.
"Yeah I'll be fine, come here" he replied as he pulled her into a hug.
She rested her head on his chest and rubbed his arm gently.
"Whatever happens, who ever the baby belongs to, I promise you I'll always be yours, I'm not going back to her" Jacob said.
Connie smiled and kissed his cheek, "I love you" she said.
"I love you too sweetcheeks" he replied.
