"Tell me it's a lie, Isabelle," Debbie said in disbelief.

"I wish I could, Debbie. I just hope Gabby changes her mind. I don't blame her, everything is just so unexpected and I just hope she makes the right decision."

"If only my brother hadn't been an ass hole to her" Debbie grumbled which earned a chuckle from Isabelle.

"Perhaps, you should talk to Terrence. He might be able to convince Gabby to keep the baby. That's if he's sure the baby is his."

"Yeah, I will talk to him" Debbie replied sadly after which they both went back to work.

.....................

"Hi, Sis" Terrence greeted as he took a seat opposite his sister. Debbie had called him earlier on, requesting to see him at the coffee shop opposite his office by 3 pm.

"So, what's up with this sudden meeting?" He asked.

"What's going on with You and Gabby? I don't understand Terry."

"Here we go again," he muttered.

"Nothing, Debbie. It's just that we have not been on good terms since the whole incident happened at my house"

"Did you guys do anything that night?" Debbie whispered. It took a while for Terrence to respond, He affirmed by nodding.

They were silent for a while before Debbie spoke. "She's pregnant, Terrence."

Terrence looked at his elder sister for a while without saying anything.

"How did you know?" He finally whispered.

"I bumped into her this morning at the hospital. Luckily, she came to see Isabelle, who happens to be my best friend. You remember Isabelle right?"

Terrence nodded.

"I got the information from Isabelle. Her blood test says she's six weeks pregnant. I did the calculation back to the time I saw her at your place and presumed the pregnancy is yours. But now that you have confirmed that something did happen between you two, no doubt you are the Father of the child she's carrying."

"The problem is that Gabby opted for an abortion"

"What the Hell!" Terrence freaked out.

"Take it easy Terry. Look, it is normal for Gabby to feel that way. She found out she was pregnant just this morning. It was very unexpected for her and with the whole misunderstanding going on between you two, I guess she thought it was the best thing to do." Debbie reasoned.

"Isabelle said she hopes Gabby changes her mind about the abortion and I hope she does which is why I've come to talk to you. You need to talk to her, Terrence. Make her see the reason why she needs to keep this baby. Besides, it's high time; the two of you grew up and settled your differences. I know you still love her very much and I believe she feels the same way about you. I see this baby as a miracle, a bundle of joy that has come to reunite you two. Do you even know how Sophie will react when she hears that she'll be having a younger sibling?" Terrence smiled at her last sentence. 'No doubt Sophie will be so happy.'

"Just talk to her, Terrence and I'm trusting you to act mature on this. Don't make matters worse; I already know Gabby is stubborn but try not to lose your temper." Debbie warned as she glared at her brother.

"I will Debbie, thank you so much for everything." He hugged her.

"Anything for you baby brother and congratulations!" Debbie grinned.

"Thanks" Terrence mumbled, playfully scratching the back of his head which earned a chuckle from Debbie.

"I think you should start getting used to that hon. you are almost a father of two" She teased.
