Andi was silent. He didn't know what to say to the doctor. He was sure if he opened his mouth, no words would come out. Did he hear her right? Pregnant? Lucy? His woman?! For real?!Lucy was just as stunned. Her eyes were as wide as they could get and her jaw hung open. She was pregnant? A real life baby was residing inside her. “Doc--doctor.” She stuttered. “You mean… you mean I have a baby inside of me right now, you mean… you mean… I am going to become a mother--we will become parents soon?” Her brows arched subconsciously and her voice was fueled by disbelief and awe. The doctor chuckled softly. “Yes. That is exactly what I mean. Now the first trimester can be very difficult and tricky sometimes, this is when you have to be very careful to avoid a miscarriage. You will have a lot of morning sicknesses, loss of appetite, increased appetite, cravings for both food, junks and sex. “The cravings get worse in the next two trimesters by the way. If you follow everything I say, you wil

Breakfast was longer than usual, filled with smiles and laughter. Lucy had changed into her usual, baggy top with a skinny Jean and her hair effortlessly fell down her back in a beautiful way. Andi accompanied her for her dress fitting at the tailor's and the woman brought out the dress they had asked her to make before. It took quite an effort to get Lucy into the dress even though madam Natasha--the tailor--was sure she had taken the right measurements. The silver white dress was fitted at the top and flowed down like a princess' dress. The dress was armless and it revealed most of her back and her shoulders. It cupped tightly around her breast--maybe too tightly--unlike it was supposed to be. Madam Natasha stared confusedly at Lucy. "How quickly can a woman add? You seem to have gained more pounds than three weeks ago." Lucy chuckled awkwardly. "I guess so." Madam Natasha smiled. "Listen honey, I know of a woman who used to eat twice as much when she was nervous or stressed.

The four of them strolled out of madam Natasha's mall, as Carla had confessed, she had a thing for blue and short things, judging from the blue mini skirt she was putting on. So she purchased a few blue things and some mini that weren't blue but beautiful to her eyes. Andi had insisted on paying for her purchase which he did even though she kept declining in. Standing by his car, Lucy stopped next to him and Carla with Taylor stood opposite the couple. A smile crept on Carla's face and the holes in her cheek deepened, several shopping bags in her hand. "So, I'll take this as part of my wedding gift. The second thing I want is a nice dinner with you and your mom, Andi. I think it's only right that I meet my aunt in law." "Alright, I'll see to it. Can I have your card then?" Andi arched his brow as he asked. "Yeah, let's exchange cards." She reached into her bag and took out a card which she exchanged with Andi for his. "Then I'll be expecting your call. Share my number with your w

The drive home was quick. Andi and Lucy went back to his house together to go over a few things for their wedding. As expected, his mother had gone out to see her friends but he was not angry because she had spent so much time locked up in the hospital that if she decided to spend the next few years going out and traveling even. "Have you talked to your mom about a family dinner before the wedding?" Andi asked his fiancée. "I mean we are getting married this Saturday and she has spent the past two months in Asia. It would be nice if she could come around and actually meet us."Lucy smiled. She was laying with her head on his chest and a tablet in her hand. They were both on the sofa. "Listen," she flipped to another image. "My mom is kind of a weird woman. The funny thing is, I have already mentioned this to her several times but she keeps saying she has seen you and your mom on the news.""But that doesn't count because I haven't seen her before. I mean..." Andi chuckled softly. "We

Minutes passed by like hours. The both of them stared at the response message, a cold chill ran down their spine. If things went awry, they would still get the answers they were playing the game for but at what risk? Lucy let out a gentle sigh. "I think..." She slightly rubbed her forehead. "I think we should do what A is asking." Andi turned to look at her. "Are you sure?" His brow arched slightly. She nodded her head. "Yeah, I think it just might work and I have an idea."***Taylor walked towards her bed and slowly and gently sat herself down. Justin wouldn't be home for a few more hours and she preferred being by herself anyway. For the next few seconds? Minutes? Hours? Taylor didn't know. But she sat there on her mind, losing her grip on reality and getting lost in a web of her own thoughts as she let her mind wander back to what had happened with Andi. 'How did he manage to get her to fall in love with him?' She asked herself. Obviously a woman with enough connections to be
