Jennifer's POV 

Another day at the office. Today Harry decided to come in case I need something. He's too caring, Im not used to this. But I like it. 

 It's lunch break but Harry and I decided to stay at my office and order home made food. We were eating and chatting when Leah rushed inside. 

 "Jennifer! Gladly you're here. I wanna tell you something" she said panting. 

 I get scared a bit. "What's wrong?" 

 "This Thanksgiving Day I wont be able to spend it with you. I 'll be in Mexico with Angelo"  she said. 

 "That's okay. Actually I will be in New Orleans with Harry's parents" I smiled and held Harry's hand. 

 It's a bit sad that I wont be with Leah but I have a new family now and Im pretty excited plus she would be with her boyfriend's family. 

 "That's great. I gotta go. I have work still" she smiled and left. 

"You both are very loyal" Harry said

"I know. I love her" I smiled and we kept eating. 

Harry's POV 

"Are you ready? The plane won't wait for us?" I asked a bit annoyed. Jennifer is taking too much just to dress up and tie her hair. 

"Yes, Im sorry. I threw up again" she said going down on the stairs. 

"Im sorry. You alright?" I held her bag and kissed her forehead

"Tired. Lets go. Im gonna sleep in the plane" 

I feel bad for her but there's nothing I can do take away fully the tiredness. 

We checked on the airport and get in the plane. Jennifer sat by the window and rested her head on my shoulder. "Sleep. I'll be right here" I said and stroked her hair. She groaned and closed her eyes.  

Harry's POV  

When we arrived Jennifer was awake. We get out of the plane and take our luggage. My mom and aunt waited for us again. 

"Hi kids" they hugged us. "Hi" Jennifer smiled big. 

She's more friendly and warm towards them now. "It's pretty cold here. Lets go home" my mom said and we got in the car. 

At home dad was happy to see me..Us. He's still cold towards Jennifer. But I hope this weekend he'll change his attitude and understand how nice Jennifer is. She's changed.  

She became friends with mom and my aunt. Now they are preparing dinner while dad and I are playing chess. 

 "She's different son, she's not the princess like before. She's preparing the food now" dad said 

"I know where this is going so please stop. Yes, she's normal person like us and I love her"  

"You say this because you have her money. I know women like her son, she uses you for her toy and you think she loves you. Now she's playing a game just in front of us"  

I was hurt by his words. I was staring blank at him. "That's not true Mr. Connick. I love your son for what actually he is and the way he treats me. The way he treated me when I was at my worst. I dont use him and never would. If you think that way I feel really sorry for you" 

I heard Jennifer whispers behind me. "Jennifer.." I turned to her immediately.

"Dinner is ready" she said and went back in the kitchen. 

She heard everything. Now she's hurt. Oh God.. 

We sat down and ate. Jennifer was quiet. Everybody is. Mom was asking Jennifer random question just to keep the conversation. 

"Im full. Please, excuse me" dad said and left the dinning room. 

Jennifer was eating calmly her rice when something happened. She chocked. 

"Jen, are you okay?" I asked as I rubbed her back. "Yes, just- excuse me" she put her hand over her mouth and ran to the bathroom.

"Harry what's wrong? Did I put too much spice?" mom asked. "Her pregnancy" I said and ran to Jennifer. 

"She's pregnant?" I heard my aunt. 

I helped Jennifer and we came back to the table. "Im not hungry" Jennifer said and just sat next to me.

"Honey, you gotta eat. Look how weak you are" my mom said and put more meat in Jennifer's plate.

"Really. It's okay. If Im hungry I would eat" Jennifer smiled. "Trust me, she would" I giggled 

"How far are you darling?" my aunt asked. "5 weeks" 

Jennifer's POV 

I cant get out of my mind Harry's dad words. It's so hurtful to hear that. I really do love him. But is Harry with me just for the money? I doubt.  

Today Harry and his mother and aunt went to the supermarket for a turkey. I'd go with them but I dont feel well.  

Harry's dad is here too. I guess in the living room so I decide to stay at our room. I dont want to see him, neither talk with him. 

There are some magazines so I read them. 

It's getting bored and Harry is still not here. It's time for nap. 

I woke up by continuously coughing. What the? I opened my eyes and all I could see is smoke. What's happening here.I managed to go to the window and opened it. I cloud see the flames coming from the kitchen's window.

Great.. He set me on fire. 

"Help!" I tried to scream but the smoke in my lungs is too much.

I coughed again and fell on the floor.
