She blushed, grateful that he was by her side at this very crucial moment."What legacy if I may ask?" Damien teased."We are automatically role models, so we need to set good examples. Plus, I got an email from the school that Ryan's bill has been paid upfront till graduation. The least I can do is to work and earn money to support my family.""I understand you, but you are in a very crucial period, so you need not put so much pressure on yourself. You will still get paid regardless of if you want or not.""I know. You spoil me so much, and it's heartwarming, but actually doing the work would give me a sense of responsibility, and I would appreciate it if you respect that."Damien nodded, with a small smile hanging on his lips. "Did you all have breakfast? We can stop somewhere for food before heading to our destination.""Yes, Emily made sure of that cos I got meds to take.""Daddy, why is the car not moving? I think I'm going to be late. I want to see my sister."Melissa chuckled.

Damien wasn't expecting to see any familiar face where he was headed; especially at this time of the night. He reduced his pace, walking slowly, when he saw his mother sitting on a chair outside the ward described to him to be Rhoda's ward.Vicky rose to her feet when she saw her son approach her with worry all over his face."What are you doing here? Where's Rumi?" He said, coming to a stop before Vicky, hoping that she didn't bring his girl along."Rumi is fine. She's home with Betty. Eliana called me to inform me of what happened. I had to rush down here.""Where is she and what did she tell you?" She's inside with Rhoda."I had dinner with Michelle. I was on my way home when I got a call from Eliana. I know you and Rhoda aren't on good terms, but the truth remains that she's the mother of my granddaughter, so I thought it wouldn't hurt to come see how she's fairing. I was close by so it was easier to come here. Eliana only told me Rhoda crashed into a tree. She didn't go into deta

"The thought that you left me because I didn't give you a male child kept eating me up. I felt sad and bitter. I felt I lost to her and refused to believe that the child was truly yours.""You think I would love him more than Rumi just because he is a boy?""And even if you were in doubt about this, couldn't you have confronted me about it instead of going to her? You knew there was a restraining order that forbids you from going close to her and yet you kept doing what you aren't supposed to do.""Our marriage wasn't working. It was obvious that we didn't love each other. Never for once did I call you out in public for being a terrible wife, person, or mother. I decided it was best we part ways but you made it all difficult.""And since when did you start caring about Rumi? You go months without seeing her and here you are, suddenly concerned about her brother taking all that rightfully belongs to her!""I know I acted crazy. I'm sorry.""I know I wasn't the best wife or mother but l

A few days later.Damien got off work early today to spend some time with his daughter. They had dinner together; he watched some episodes of her favorite cartoons with her, after which it was time to go to bed.He got her ready and then tucked her to bed.Damien placed a deep kiss on Rumi's forehead before taking a seat on the bed by her side."Daddy, Where's Mommy?"Damien swallowed painfully. "Why do you ask? You miss her?"Rumi looked so unsure. "Did she travel again?"Damien shook his head, wondering how to begin a proper conversation with his little girl. He hadn't told her about the divorce either and wasn't sure what to expect."Actually, your mom isn't feeling well."Rumi sat up on the bed with a sad face. "Mommy is sick?""Please don't cry," Damien said with pleading eyes. He saw that her eyes were starting to get heavy with tears."I saw her a few days ago; she is getting better, so you've got nothing to worry about.""But why didn't you tell me Mommy is sick?" She said, tr

"Melissa is having a baby? We are getting a baby sibling?" She guessed. "Yes, darling.""Cool. Is it a girl or a boy?""We don't know yet but we need to be prepared for either gender.""It's going to be so much fun living in the new house with the baby. I'm going to share my toys with him or her. I'll teach my baby sibling how to sing, and Ryan's gonna teach the baby how to dance."Damien's heart melted. "Sure! I look forward to seeing you all do all of that.""I'm so excited. But when will the baby come, Daddy?"Damien chuckled, "Excited much?"Rumi smiled shyly. "Yes, I cannot wait to meet him or her.""It's going to take a while.""How long?" She pouted."A couple of months.""Ohhh!" She put up a long face. "That's too far. I thought baby sibling would arrive next week."Damien couldn't help with the chuckle that escaped his lips. He couldn't help but think that his little girl was referring to her baby sibling as some package ordered from an online company."You don't have to be

He parked his car after which he helped himself down and went to the other side to get Rumi.With his hand intertwined with her tiny ones, they made their way to the hospital and straight to Rhoda's ward."Grandma!" Rumi released her hand from Damien's and ran towards Eliana who they both saw outside the ward."Sweetheart!" Eliana crouched to Rumi's height on time and pulled the little girl into a warm hug. She kissed her cheek before pulling away from the hug."How are you, my love?""I'm fine, so happy to see you." She grinned."Is mommy in?""Yes, dear. I'm about to go get fruits. You want some?"Rumi nodded. "Grapes Please.""Okay, my love."Eliana rose to her feet and approached Damien. "Thank you. This will mean so much to Rhoda."Damien nodded. He guided Rumi to the door while Eliana left to get fruits.The moment they stepped in, Rumi rushed over to the bedside. Thankfully, Rhoda

"You want to watch with me?" Ryan asked his mother who was leaning against the wall, watching him for some seconds now.Melissa smiled, nodding, and then she took slow steps to where her son was seated, gently taking a seat beside him."I've got something to tell you." Her voice came out as a whisper."Okay?" Ryan answered with a confused face but turned sideways to face his mother regardless.Melissa reached for the TV and reduced the volume."You know I love you, right?"Ryan nodded."And no matter what happens, I'll always love you."Ryan frowned. "Are you nervous?"Melissa chuckled, trying to ease her nervousness. "No. Why do you say so?”"You look like you just did something naughty and you are about to apologize to me."Melissa had no idea when her cheeks started heating up."No. I'm here to give you some news. I think it's good news but I don't know how you are going to feel about it.""Okay, tell me first, then I will know if I should be happy or not.""We are having a baby."

"How did the visit go? I can't believe our babies failed to recognize our presence. It was almost as though they couldn't wait to meet each other so they hardly noticed us.”Dam smiled proudly. "Rumi took the news quite well yesterday. But a part of me was still scared that she might sort of change her mind when she woke up this morning. I mean, I filled her head with different conversations just right before she went to bed. I don't know how I got so lucky to have such a darling little girl.""I was honestly skeptical about taking her to Rhoda. But I remember our conversation when you said that Rumi had always hoped to be acknowledged by Rhoda.""It was good. They had a great time bonding. She was all smiling on our way here. I don't regret taking her."Melissa smiled. "I'm glad to hear that and yes, Rumi is a sweet little girl. So does that mean they would be spending more time together?" She asked hopefully."The plan was to allow Roe to see her when I'm convinced that Rhoda has ch
