Dawson could not believe his ears. One of the things he wished to have before he died was to have a great-grandchild. "Now I can die in peace," he said as a tear left his eyes. "What are you saying, Dawson?" Jessica said squeezing his hands. "What more could I ask for? I wanted Xavier to settle down with a good and beautiful woman and I got have beyond my expectation and then I wanted a great grandchild and I was given one. What more cloud an old man like me want out of life?" "Since you wanted a great-grandchild you have to be around to spoil the child silly" Jessica continued. Xavier did not counter the grandfather because Ross had kept him updated on the progress of his grandfather and he knew that the clinical tablets and injections they had been using were no longer effective on the man. "Thank you so very much for coming into our lives. It has had color and cheer ever since" Dawson said. Xavier did not allow Jessica to stay as long as she expected. He had told her that th

Xavier was helping Jessica and making a fuss and she was telling him off for it. She was barely a full day of them knowing that she was pregnant and he seemed to have so much already stored in his head."Can we go back home?" she asked tiredly as they took a turn on the road. He opened his mouth to respond to her when the phone rang in his pocket. He wondered who it could be and was in shock when he saw it was Ross. He picked it up and put it up to his ears. "Hello Ross" "Hello, Mr. Delgado" "It's not been that long since we left the hospital but you are calling us already? Did we miss something?" "I am calling because of the chairman" When Xavier heard that statement he felt his heart drop to his legs. It was as if he knew what the doctor was about to say but he was going to wait to hear it by himself. "What about him?" he asked with a shaky voice. When Jessica heard his voice she diverted her attention to him. Why did he sound as if he was on the verge of tears and trying his

Jessica felt the trembling in her feet. This was the first time. She had to say goodbye to someone. She had just begun to see Dawson as a part of her family. She could not believe he was gone. There was no one to tease her about getting into Xavier's panties and making a great-grandchild. There was no one to adore her every move and tell off Xavier when he was in the wrong. Xavier on the other hand was not taking it all that well. Since he had lost his parents at a young age he has had only his grandfather to be there for him. Dawson had given him the whole world at his fingertips and anyone could tell that even if it was from a distance. "I thought you said he had at least a few more months left?" Xavier asked with a tear in the corner of his eyes. Of all the things he thought he would be doing after hearing that he had become a father, he had never imagined that he would have to let his grandfather go. He staggered a little as he tried to control himself. "He ordered that we sto

They moved to the private room that Dawson had been in. Jessica's nose was filled with Dawson's scent. As she entered his subconscious mind heard the laughter of Dawson and she turned to the bed to meet it empty. She wanted to be strong for Xavier but she could not help the tears as they streamed down her face. "I never called you here," Xavier said referring to Marcus who suddenly appeared from nowhere. He was going to call him later after they had settled the burial arrangement. "The chairman had asked the caregiver to give me a call as soon as it happened. He achieved his will of recent and ordered that it be read before the burial is done" Marcus explained. When the caregiver sent him that urgent message of Dawson dying he was then convinced that he knew when he would die. He had changed the details of his will just a week before that time and asked that it be read on the day he passed on. "I do not think that now is the most appropriate time to read anything. My grandfather j

"That won't be a problem?" Marcus stammered in a question. He still had hopes of getting Jessica which made him delay his wedding with Gold. She had been pestering him about it but he always found the perfect excuse for her. Hearing the news that Jessica might have had a child got him all jittery. "Yes, we have not told anyone this arises from Papa but Jessica is pregnant. We only confirmed it recently" Xavier explained squeezing Jessica's hands in her lap. "You confirmed it? I thought it was a marriage by agreement and one of the clauses was against physical contact?" "Yes, but things happened and here we are" Xavier explained. He did not see the need to explain to him but he saw the glances he passed at Jessica even a blind man could detect that he was in love with her. "I was going to call you to cancel the contract but I had not gotten around to it yet" Xavier continued. The reality hit Jessica. They had both professed their love to each other but maybe hearing him saying h

"What are you trying to say?" Xavier asked when he trailed off and kept quiet. "I am not implying anything I am just saying that..." he trailed off again. The expression on Xavier's face was too serious to be taken lightly. It was obvious that he was in love with Jessica. He had been reassuring her ever since they sat down and he did not want to hear what it was that he had to say about her. "It's a standard procedure to ensure that the child belongs to the Delgado name" he explained. He wanted to confirm by himself who the child belonged to. He did not want to believe that he had lost her so easily. "I can vouch for her" "Mr. Delgado with all due respect we need to carry out the test" he explained. "My wife would not undergo any test of any sort and that is final" Xavier's voice sounded like a warning he did not want to say twice. "Mr. Delgado..." Xavier raised his hands to silence him from going any further. "Did you not hear me before? I don't want any further discussions a

Jessica was not ready to say goodbye to Dawson no matter how many times the reality dawned on her. From the time of the funeral and burial arrangement to the time of laying his body six feet down underground, she doubted if she ever got herself. The whole city came out to mourn in one way or another. To them, it was a loss. Dawson was a big business tycoon whom others began to know as a philanthropist who helped struggling businesses in the past. Xavier even heard testimonies about his grandfather from the mouths of others for the first time. Jessica did not shed a tear for fear of encouraging Xavier to break down through the process. She saw how he tried his best to be strong. She however did not miss the times he slipped out of bed quietly in the night and only came back once the sun was coming up. She suspected he went to Mount but did not question him because he had every right to mourn the loss of his grandfather. She was getting to the fourth month of carrying the baby and s

"Since Dawson died I know you tried your best so I do not feel it but the truth is I want to pass through this pain and stage with you. I also lost Dawson. He was the father and grandfather figure I never had" He looked at her as she spoke. He saw the hurt in her eyes. It was like nothing he had seen before. The house was quiet and listless. There was barely any sound. All day they were both at work and only came back when they were so tired that all they wanted to do was sleep as soon as they came back. It was as if they were overworking themselves on purpose so they felt no pain. "The truth is I want to be a part of your entire life. I am in pain so are you. I know you are hurting but so am l. I am sure we can get better if we stay together through the entire process" she continued. Xavier stood up and made her stand too. He went in for a hug. "It's how you always know what to say," he said in her hair. They stood like that for a few seconds. "You know I read in a book that gloo
