"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

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

"Are you guys free tonight?" Alicia asked. She was on a call with Jessica and Leslie. She had gone around asking them both why they had been such killjoys lately. She had tried to get them both out several times during the past month and they had both declined the offer. She knew that Jessica needed someone who would be close to her at that time. "I have a date with my husband" Jessica replied. She felt relieved that Xavier had come around. It had a tough couple of months. Since he was not expressive about his emotions she was not sure how to act around him. "Awwn" they both cooed over the phone. "But wait what do you say we have a triple date?" Alicia asked. "Who would be your date since Jason is not in town?" Leslie jumped in to ask. "He is flying in. His flight should come in any moment from now" Alicia replied. In the past two months, she had been going in and out of Chiachester City. She had been to Crescent Bay so much that it was a wonder that the bloggers still followed th

The news that they had all heard startled them. They were gaping at Jason and Alicia as she flaunted her rings in his face. "When did this happen?" Leslie said when she recovered. She had seen Alicia recently and she could not recall seeing a diamond on her hand. "Last week when I visited him and the city," she said with a smile. "How did the bloggers not carry this? You have been a great source of joy to them since you two have been showing an awful amount of love to each other. It was titled A Love Across Cities by Chiachester's Dailies" Brian explains. "It was a quiet proposal and I decided not to wear the ring" Alicia spoke. Between herself and Jason, it was hard to tell who was more excited about breaking the news to them. "Congratulations, this calls for a huge celebration," Jessica said and Jessica turned to her. "It sure does," she said in happiness. She waved to the waiter who walked briskly to them. "I have made an order with my reservation, you can begin to bring them

Leslie had finally left the bathroom after saying she was going to freshen up. She sat on the water closet seat for a long time before she opened up the cabinet and took a pregnancy test. She could not help but blame herself for not getting pregnant and hearing the news about Jessica made her feel all the more sad. She could not lie it was hard to be happy for her and she was trying her best. She opened up the test she bought a long time ago. Since she and Brian had decided to take the pressure off and trust the process she had stopped taking the test. She took the test and when she finally had to see the results she was shocked at the stick staring at her. She had to take a couple more of the test just be to sure. She stood beside the bed where her drunken husband was lying and sleeping so peacefully. She wondered how it was that he was okay with hearing about Jessica's pregnancy. She did not expect him to be sad but at least he should have shown some emotions. He just chatted awa
