Were you mine? My Jake
Lea's POV I was prepared to completely lose Jake and was whimpering, my head over my knees though o could barely fit my belly between my head and my knees. It was getting too frustrating when a pair of hands hugged me from the back. I knew exactly who it was but didn't move because it felt so good.Too good. All I wanted to do was relish in that feeling. I was tired. Tired of crying, tired of worrying, tired of running, I could feel it. "Lea," Jake's voice was soft, filled with an emotion I couldn't quite understand. It was somewhere between grief, relief and agitation. I didn't respond. I couldn't. I just kept crying, the pain too overwhelming. Jake tightened his hold on me, resting his chin on my shoulder. "I'm back. Are you not even going to look at me?Do you hate me that much? " he murmured.I finally looked up, my vision blurred by tears. He smiled at me, a small, reassuring smile. "Lea, look at me." I did, but then my eyes darted to the door, expecting Rosa to walk bac
Were you mine? Snake
Going a little back in time (to the moment when Jake and Rosa had their confrontation in the Hospital corridor ) - Jake grabbed Rosa by the arm and pulled her out into the hospital corridor, his face was a mix of anger and frustration. "Rosa, what is this nonsense?" Rosa wrenched her arm free, glaring at him. "What the hell do you think you're doing, Jake? I'm pregnant with your child!" Jake took a deep breath, trying to keep his voice steady. "Rosa, we slept together once, a few days ago. There's no way that kid is mine. You need to get an abortion." Rosa's eyes widened with shock and fury. "Are you serious? You want me to get rid of our baby? You're out of your mind!" Jake's expression hardened.He wasn't having her nonsense."Listen, if you want to keep the baby, fine. But don't expect me to just take your word for it. Get a DNA test before you start pinning this on me." Rosa's face twisted into a sneer. She was clearly not expecting that reaction from Jake. "Oh, I see. You'r

Mercy paused just before entering the hospital, turning slowly towards the throng of reporters. She removed her sunglasses with a flourish, revealing eyes that sparkled with confidence and mischief. The crowd hushed, hanging on her every move.They seemed spell bound,mesmerized. "Y'all got your equipment ready for a live stream?" she called out softly pretending to clap to grab their attention. But they were gawking at her. She knew that very well but she was the daughter of Elizabeth Rodgers after all. She had some drama I'm her blood. "Because I'm about to drop a bombshell that'll shock the entire nation. Hot gossip, straight from my household." The reporters erupted into a frenzy, scrambling to get the best spot. "Over here, Ma'am!" "What’s the scoop?" "We're live in three, two, one...!" Mercy’s smirk widened as she caught Rosa's eye. Rosa stood frozen.Reporters battled for position, shoving each other aside to set up their cameras and microphones. Tripods were hasti
Were you mine? Brother/ Sister
Back in Lea's ward, Jake was pacing the room impatiently. He was waiting for the nurse to come back with news about whether or not the exit at the back of the hospital was safe for him to leave. But Lea's nurse walked in, carrying a laptop instead. "Hey, got something you might want to see," the nurse said, placing the laptop on the table. "It's a live press conference with Mercy Rodgers."Jake raised an eyebrow. "Mercy? How do you know Mercy?" " She is the reason we were able to hold the press at the gate. She is a share holder in this hospital. We didn't expect her to drop all of a sudden. And now she is going live and she said she had some news and also mentioned your name. I thought you might want to check. " The nurse clicked on the video stream, and Mercy's face filled the screen. She sat confidently in front of the crowd of reporters,“Thank you all for coming,” Mercy began, her voice steady. “I have a statement to make regarding recent revelations about our family.”Lea squeeze
Were you mine? Together
Jake held his breath as he stepped out of the grand limousine. A gust of air swept across his face almost slapping him, trying to wake him up from his trance. The Rodger mansion felt very different this time. Jake noticed the servants bowing and greeting them as they entered. It felt awkward. But then he felt Mercy's hand on his back. " Keep going. It's a homecoming, brother. Don't think too much! ” Jake nodded as he took his step forward. His eyes found Phill and Percy standing side by side in the great hall. Then his eyes fell on Elizabeth Rodgers, who stood with her back turned towards them. As she slowly turned around, the entire hall seemed to hold its breath. Her eyes locked onto Jake’s, and she began to walk towards him with deliberate, measured steps. A scrutinizing expression crossed her face, and Jake instinctively took a step back as she came closer. His mind raced, uncertainty and anxiety gnawing at him. The air was charged with emotion that neither could express,
Were you mine? The Sully family
" Enough of your nonsense! ” Elizabeth stood up, slamming her own fists on the table, growling in response." Take your dirty a** out of my house. I am not going to tolerate any more harassment. ” " Harassment? You are the one harassing me, Lizzy! How dare you cut off all my cards at once. You blocked and froze all my accounts. I couldn't even pay for my drinks! ” Mr.Cole staggered forward. On cue from Elizabeth, male butlers jumped forward and held back Mr.Cole, restraining his arms. It only aggravated his violence and he jumped up and down as they held him back. " What are you doing, Elizabeth? I am your husband! " He shrieked on top of his voice. Jake stared at the man, in his exquisite suit, a boot that might have cost a fortune. He kept staring and wondering what difference was there between this man, supposedly his biological father who gave him away at birth, and the father he had grown up with, also a drunk head but with worn out slippers and tattered clothes. No that Ja

Suddenly , Jake's phone blasted through the silence . He glanced at the screen with panic and immediately excused himself. " I need to take this. It's from the hospital. " He sprinted from there. Phill rushed after him. " Yes, I am. What happened to her? What???? When? " Jake ran as he spoke. Phill caught up to him, really quick. He grabbed Jake by his shoulder and pulled him around. " Jake? What happened to Lea? " He asked, concern etched all over his face. Jake glanced up and down, taking a good look at him. In all the commotion of their new found dynamics, he had almost forgotten the dynamic that they shared. Jake scoffed at that realisation and said, " They wouldn't call me if it was about, Lea. They would call you. You got her admitted at your hospital. You are her doctor. She is under your care. ” Phill's hand dropped from Jake's shoulder. " Jake, I... " He stammered, clearly feeling uneasy but he didn't know how to react. " Don't worry, I understand. You and Lea might b
Were you mine? The truth about her
Jake stayed beside their aunt's hospital bed, his hand enveloping her frail, trembling one.She was struggling to breathe again. Her breaths were shallow and rapid. The doctors had managed to stabilize her fifteen minutes ago, but then, her condition was deteriorating again."Shh, it's okay. Just breathe slowly," Jake murmured, his voice steady, trying to mask his own rising fear. "In and out, nice and easy.Remember how you taught us to swim? Blow your bubbles. You can do it! ”Her eyes darted around the room, wild with panic, but she focused on Jake, gripping his hand as if it were her lifeline. "Jake... Jake, I can't..." she gasped, struggling to catch her breath. "I'm right here. Just focus on me," he said softly, squeezing her hand reassuringly.Suddenly, her eyes cleared, and she tried to push herself up. Her eyes fluttered and she suddenly sat up with a jolt. She ripped off her oxygen mask, her breath was labored but her eyes were sharp with an unexplained urgency. "Jake," she ras
