"How could you let something like this happen?! I gave you a very simple task, very simple! And you failed woefully!." He spat out angrily as he paced around his living room, his stride, intimidating."We tried our best and things were going smoothly until Tracy's colleagues testified." Ric tried to defend themselves but Marco was accepting it."Why the hell did you leave those pictures on your phone?!" He barked at Tracy who quivered at every word he spoke."I'm sorry….I didn't know–""Didn't know what? Didn't know they would search your phone?" He groaned out in frustration. "How could you be so stupid??!""It's not her fault, she didn't know things would turn out like this." Ric said in her defense. "None of us did, I mean even you didn't know, because if you did, then you would have told her beforehand." Marco looked like he was about to explode, his face had turn red with anger and his breath had grown unsteady. He picked up a golf club from his sport equipment and whacked him w

"Push Ivy." Doctor Julie urged and Ivy groaned.Lucas wished there was something he could do to ease her pain, he hated seeing her hurt. "You're doing great honey." He commended, hoping it would make her feel better.Her face was red and her forehead was wrinkled from all the stress she was going through."That's it, you're doing good. Just one more. "Doctor Julie said, urging Ivy not to give up.She shut her eyes tight and pushed as hard as she could and heaved a sigh of relief when she felt her burden lighten."You did it. Congratulations Mr Williams, he looks just like you." Doctor julie said with a smile. "You did it honey." Lucas kissed Ivy on the forehead and she smiled faintly.The nurses took the baby and Ivy to get them cleaned up and Ivy was moved to a ward.After the baby had been cleaned up, he was brought to the ward and handed to Ivy.Lucas couldn't keep his joy to himself. He smiled tenderly at the face of his sleeping son. "What should we name him?" He asked Ivy who wa

"Hey my darling." Blanche smiled as she walked into Ivy's ward."Mother?" Her mother was the last person in the world that Ivy was expecting to see. "What are you doing here?""What do you mean? I came to see you. How are you feeling dear?" She asked as she sat by her bed."I'm okay mother, thank you for coming to see me.""Don't be ridiculous, I should be apologising for not coming to see you sooner.""It's okay, seeing you here is more than enough for me.""Aw, you say the nicest things. I heard you named him Desmond.""Yes, do you like it?""It's not a bad name. I got something for him." She brought out a little grocery bag and handed it to Ivy."Aww that's so sweet, you didn't have to." She brought out the items inside. "They're beautiful mother, thank you."It was a matching blue beanie and socks with the prettiest shawl Ivy had ever seen."It's nothing, take it as my apology gift.""What are you apologising for?""I feel like I'm the one who put you in all this mess. If I wasn't

So far the meeting had been very unproductive. They hadn't discussed the main reason of their gathering, instead they were getting in each other's faces. Ivy who was always calm was inflamed, coming up against her mother at every given opportunity and Blanche wasn't ready to admit that she was wrong.Lucas didn't interfere for two reasons. One, he didn't have the strength to deal with Blanche and her rabble rouser attitude. And two, he believed that if they were going to get anywhere with their meeting, they would have to pour out all that was on their mind."You're making a big deal out of nothing Ivy. This Platana issue shouldn't be a reason for you to hate me." Blanche defended herself, annoying Lucas more than he already was before."That's the thing with you mother, you never know when to admit that you're wrong. I'm not angry about Platana, I'm angry about the fact that you're blaming me for all this.""I was simply speaking from my point of view. Peter dear, please tell me if I

"He approved it." Ivy announced ecstatically at the dinner table."Approved what?" Lucas asked, even though he already knew what she meant."Your boss, he approved my proposal.""I told you he would, he loves unique ideas like that. And no one has unique ideas like my Ivy." He complimented her and she blushed. "Congratulations honey, I'm proud of you.""Thank you."Lucas was finally happy to see a smile on her face again because she had been doleful since Platana had called her. His smile dissipated when he remembered Platana. Just two days were left from the one week ultimatum he gave to Ivy. He hoped that Grover's new update would be helpful to them because if it wasn't, he didn't know what else he could do.He didn't want to turn to Tracy for help unless it was absolutely necessary but with the way things were headed, he might have to."Lucas, what's wrong?" Ivy noticed the frown on his face and she touched his hand lightly. "I don't like seeing you this way.""I'm okay love, I'm o
