Sebastian and Jayda were ushered to a private table for two. Seb pulled out a chair for Jay before settling down opposite her. A waiter came with the menu, they went through it and both ordered what they wanted.Soon enough, their orders came and they dug in. Sebastian spent the first few minutes admiring Jayda as she ate. He liked the fact that she was herself around him."So how is work?" He tried to start a conversation."Fine. Since I found out about the pregnancy, I've been on my best behaviour; trying not to overwork myself." Sebastian nodded, happy that she was taking their baby and her health into consideration."I had no idea your Sister was interning in Saunders and Co. I knew from Lilian not too long ago""I also came to know about it recently. Olivia adores you. My mom said she talks about you all the time. You're her idol"Jayda gets flattered whenever she hears compliments like that. She was aware that many aspiring lawyers and learned colleagues looked up to her because
As soon as Sebastian got settled in his car, he had an incoming call from Caleb; He answered immediately."What's up, Bro?" He said to Caleb."Hmmm, someone seems extremely happy today."He smiled, "You have no idea how happy I am.""I'm glad for you Seb. How did the appointment go?" Caleb asked."Very well. Jayda is fine, the baby is also fine and growing well. Jayda and I were opportune to hear our baby's heartbeat and I promise you it was the most amazing sound I've ever heard. At that moment I felt blessed and complete. I'm already anticipating our next appointment""She agreed to give us a chance which I'm very grateful for. Today is not even over yet and it is already one of the best days of my life.""Congratulations man. I'm glad that things are falling in place for you. Always make her happy and pleaseeeeee don't mess things up.""I won't, I promise," Seb assured.........Sebastian had smiles on his face throughout the day which did not go unnoticed by everyone. He was extra
Lilian was somewhere around Millers Inc so she decided to stop by to say hello to Sebastian."Hello Cousin," Lilian said in a sing-song voice as she stepped into Sebastian's office.Seb chuckled as he rose to his feet. He approached Lilian and gave her a hug. This was their first time sharing any sort of friendly bodily contact.A few days back, they were nothing but enemies. Thanks to Jayda, they now acknowledge themselves as cousins and maybe friends."I almost did not believe my receptionist when she said you were here to see me." He said as he ushered her to take a seat opposite his desk."Well, I was somewhere around so I decided to stop by to greet you. I promised your baby mama that I was going to come to see you in the office and discuss a few things with you.""I don't want you to call her that, she means so much more to me," Sebastian said possessively.Lilian chuckled with her hands up. "I apologize. Anyway, as Jayda's best friend and your baby's godmother, I come in peace t
Lilian had gone back to her apartment to sort things out and prepare for her boyfriend's arrival so Jayda was home alone.After taking a shower and changing into her nightdress, she proceeded to the kitchen for a glass of orange juice which she would take along with the takeout she bought on her way back from work.Before she could settle on the couch and enjoy her meal, there was a knock on the door.She reluctantly went to answer the door and came face to face with a delivery guy who was with a big rectangular box. Jayda found it weird for him to be doing deliveries at night and besides she didn't order anything so he must have come to the wrong place or at least come to ask for directions."Good evening ma'am." He greeted."Good evening. How may I help you?" She asked."Miss Jayda Wright?" He asked. She nodded."This is for you." He stretched out the package for her to accept."I didn't order anything." She clarified, giving the delivery guy a confused look."It was ordered on your
Jayda could not help with the smile that took over her face when she stared at herself in the mirror. The red dress Sebastian bought for her fitted her perfectly and with the little makeup she applied, she looked very beautiful, like Cinderella, waiting for her Prince Charming to arrive so they can proceed to the event.Jayda had no doubt she looked like a bag of money. She had an expensive dress, jewellery, and shoes on.But she was a little bit nervous. Never had she attended any charity event filled with only billionaires in the room. Zach had invited her on so many occasions when they were still dating but she would decline, using work as an excuse.Jayda heaved a sigh, reached for her clutch which had her phone, credit card and a keycard to her apartment. Then she made her way to the living room to wait for Sebastian.Before she could take a seat to relax a little, the doorbell rang. She went to answer it and came face to face with the most handsome man in the world. Her baby Dadd
Sebastian engaged Jayda into random conversations on the ride to her place and soon enough they arrived at her apartment.She made Seb get comfortable on the couch in the living room and entertained him with a glass of wine while she went to her room to pack an overnight bag.Sebastian chuckled as soon as Jayda reappeared with a medium size backpack. She had also changed her outfit to a knee-length dress and she had her fancy sandals on."I changed my mind, I'll be spending the weekend with you." She said shyly.Lilian had gone over to Roman's place for the weekend so Jayda thought it wouldn't be a bad idea to spend her weekend with Sebastian. That way, they will get to know each other better.Sebastian smiled, "I have no problem with that. I'll be honoured to have you over for the weekend."He rose to his feet with his now empty glass cup. "Let me clean this and we will get going." He made his way to her kitchen and was back in no time. Sebastian collected the bags from her while she
Jayda smiled as soon as she felt someone showering her face with kisses. She knew it was no one else than Sebastian.Since she refused to get up or open her eyes, Sebastian decided to tempt her with a passionate kiss on her lips which Jayda returned.Before things got pretty heated, Seb pulled away and whispered in her ear. "It's time for breakfast my love, please get up and have some food."Jayda opened her eyes, Seb helped her sit up."Good morning!" She greeted him.Sebastian smiled. He kissed her forehead.He reached for the tray of breakfast and placed it on her lap."Seb!" She chuckled "This is too much."She referred to the eggs, bacon, waffles, bread and a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice on the tray."You're eating for two." Sebastian reminded."I know, but it's still too much." Jayda smiled."Okay, eat what you can.""I will only eat if you join me." She proposed.Sebastian was not used to having breakfast. For him, Coffee served as breakfast. He sometimes had lunch but
The Millers chose to have their emergency family meeting in the second living room downstairs.Vanessa and her husband, Albert, occupied a double couch and opposite them was Sebastian and Olivia who occupied another double couch.Amelia finally joined them and occupied the seat beside Sebastian. The whole family was anxious and worried about what she had to say. For some reason, Vanessa could tell it was bad news because she had never seen Amelia in this state.She was putting on a pale dress that stopped right above her knee and her hair was in a messy bun. She hardly looked into anyone's eyes as she took a seat beside Seb."We are all here now. Go ahead and tell us what we need to know." Albert encouraged even though he dreaded to hear what was about to come from her mouth. But at the same time, the suspense was killing him.The sooner she talked about what was bothering her, the quicker they would solve the problem.For the first time that night, Amelia looked at her family who were
Second Epilogue."Heyyy." Jayda smiled as soon as she saw Sebastian walk into the kitchen with Ariella in his arms."It smells divine in here," Seb said as he approached Jayda and kissed her lips which made Ariella giggle."Dada, Ariella wants a kiss." She pointed to her cheeks. Sebastian chuckled and then placed a kiss on her cheeks."How was work, babes?" He wrapped an arm around Jayda's waist and kissed her cheek."Fine. Yours?" She wiped her hands with a napkin, turning her attention to him afterwards."Fine too. I called you this evening but you didn't answer your call.""Sorry, my phone has been in my bag since I left the office.""It's fine, Lilian called to tell me they would be arriving early. They should be here anytime soon.""Thank God the food is ready. I only have to set the dining table.""You hungry, princess?" Jayda asked her daughter who was still in her husband's arms.Ariella shook her head."You have to eat something, my love." Sebastian persuaded."Cookies." She s
Epilogue.One year later.Jayda Miller considered herself as one of the luckiest people on earth. As each day passes by, She never fails to thank God for blessing her with an amazing husband, beautiful children, wonderful family, amazing friends who turned family and also, her successful career.Getting married to Sebastian was one of the best things that have ever happened to Jayda. Her love for him increased day by day. They've only been married for a year and Sebastian kept his promise by making each day memorable and making She and their children happy.Of course, they argued and had little misunderstandings in between but they loved each other so much that it was hard for them to stay mad at one another for so long.Jayda had a hard time balancing her career with being a wife, a Mom and a godmother but she was determined to make it work and she has been doing well so far.Being a wife and a mom was something she never really pictured herself in but Jayda Miller wouldn't trade her
"Are you for real?" Jayda whispered after a while, looking from Lilian's face to her belly.Lilian nodded with the most beautiful smile ever.Jayda gently placed Ariella on the bed beside her, then embraced Lilian into a hug."This is the best news I've heard in a while. Thank you, God. Gosh, Lily, I'm so happy for you and Roman." Jayda sniffed."Thanks, babes! But please don't tear up, I don't want you to ruin your makeup." Lilian said but it was too late because Jay already had a tear rolling down her cheek.Jayda chuckled and pulled away from the hug. "Don't worry about my makeup, my makeup artist will retouch everything."Lilian took Ariella in her arms when she almost started whining."Ella, your godmother is going to give you a playmate. How cool is that?" Jayda cooed and tickled Ariella who giggled."Yes, my love. And hopefully, if it turns out to be a girl, you two will be best friends like your god mommy and me." Ariella gave a toothy grin smile."When did you find out? How fa
Jayda had breakfast. Aaron also ate with her. Soon after, they were joined by Jayda's parents. Aaron was happy to see his other Grandma and Grandpa.While the boys ( Sebastian, Albert, David and Aaron) settled on the sofa to drool over Ariella, Jayda and Sebastian's Mom sat with Jayda and engaged in conversations. Grace was seated on the right-hand side of Jayda's bed while Vanessa occupied the left-hand side."How does it feel to be a mom?" Grace asked her daughter."Weird, but amazing! I mean, I've been a mom since the first day I met Aaron but Ariella's birth has definitely changed me for the better.""But Mom, you didn't tell me how painful labour can be." Jayda accused Grace.Vanessa chuckled, "Dear, I don't think there's any word to use to describe the whole labour process unless one experiences it. But I'm sure all the pain was worth it as soon as Ariella was placed in your arms." She said.Jayda nodded. "It was definitely worth it."The trio continued with their conversation, w
"They just had their second child and they've started trying for baby number three." A very familiar voice came through.Jay and Seb shyly pulled away from the kiss.Lilian and Roman walked in with pink decorations and gifts. Lily placed all the items on a free couch then made her way to Jayda to hug the hell out of her."Congratulations babes!""Thank you,""I had wanted to come over as soon as I got Seb's text at midnight. But again, I remembered we wouldn't be allowed to see you or my goddaughter until a few hours later. I only went to bed when seb texted that you and Ariella were fine.""Thanks, Lilian, I appreciate everything you do for me," Jayda said sincerely."What are sisters for?" Lilian smiled and then pulled Jayda into another hug."Hey, she's meant to meet me first. I'm her mommy's best friend which means I'm her best friend too. She's also my goddaughter which gives me priority." Lilian said before Roman could pick up Ariella from her bassinet.Everyone in the room chuck
Sebastian felt very useless standing by Jayda, doing nothing than holding her hand and encouraging her to push by whispering soothing and encouraging words in her ear.He wished he could do more, he wished he could go through the labour for her or somehow take away all the pain she was feeling. She was in tears and in great pain and it broke his heart.Seb had tears in his eyes too but he tried as much as he could to hold them back. Jayda relied on him for support and he had to be strong for her."I can see her head, babe, just a few more pushes and she will be with us." Sebastian encouraged, before placing a kiss on her sweaty face."You can do it Jayda, you're the strongest woman I know." He added.Another tear rolled down Jayda's cheek before using all the strength left in her to push really hard.Lo and behold, the cry of a bouncing baby girl followed suit.Jayda jammed her head back against the pillow and heaved a sigh of relief."You did it, my love, I'm so proud of you." Sebasti
Days LaterJayda was seated behind her desk, going through some files when she felt a weird movement in her belly.At first, She got scared, hoping nothing bad was happening to her daughter. She gently placed her hand on her belly and when she felt the movement again, happy tears welled up in her eyes at the realization of what had just happened."She moved!""Her baby girl kicked!"Jayda wanted to go to the rooftop and shout to the whole world that she felt her baby move for the first time.Smiling like crazy, She reached for her phone and dialled Sebastian who picked up after a few rings."It hasn't even been up to two hours and you're missing me already." Sebastian teased from the other side."Sorry to burst your ego, my dear fiancé, I wasn't missing you. I just called to let you know the latest about your daughter.""Is anything the matter? Do you need me to come over?" Sebastian asked, already at alert."Nothing is wrong Seb. She moved. I felt her tiny kicks.""Are you for real?"
The Next DayLilian was still fast asleep in her room when Jayda went to open the door for Roman. She had texted him the night before and pleaded for him to come over this morning and she was glad he heeded to her request."Why didn't you tell me anything?" Jayda accused.Roman rubbed his palms together and let out some air."Lilian and I trust you, we know you will always be there for us. I honestly don't know why we never told you about it. I guess it was a shock to us and we were trying to deal with it in our own way to avoid pity. Had I known bringing the issue of a child will tamper with Lilian and I's relationship, I would have never said anything about it.""She said you really want a child and she could see the desire in your eyes when you look at other people's children.""I won't lie, I do want a child and if I can't have one with Lilian, I would rather not have one at all.""The baby issue started when we stopped using protection when making love. I said I will be the happie
A few weeks laterJayda couldn't help but think something was wrong with Lilian. It has been almost two weeks since She and Sebastian came back from their one week vacation and she hasn't seen Lilian.Whenever Jayda called to greet her, She could tell something was not right and no matter how much she persuaded, Lilian would not say anything. Instead, she would give an excuse to end the call with Jay and also promise to call back but never did.Jayda also reached out to Roman, Lily's boyfriend, maybe he would give her a hint on what was going on.Roman assured her everything was fine but she found it hard to believe him.Having decided that she has had enough, Jayda made up her mind to go visit Lilian; a surprise visit. She knew if she called to inform her that she was coming over, Lilian was going to make some silly excuses and give her lame reasons why she shouldn't show up.After four rings, Lilian finally answered her door."W...what are y....you doing here?" She shuttered when she
