Months passed. Hanna reached the next grade and was excelling in her studies. Fred always encouraged her by giving gifts for her achievements. She was the only grandchild for them and Joseph want to train her well to attain the throne of their family.

Fred was out of station as part of a business trip. Lea came to office and entered her cabin. Jesse was there in her room. She noticed something wrong with Lea, some sort of weak she was.
Jesse: What happened, you look pale, Lea??
Lea: Don't know why, not feeling good.
Jesse: Go home then. I will do the rest here.
Lea: No dear, I need to complete it. Fred will be back tonight. I will take a leave tomorrow so that I can take care of him. I would be very grateful if you could get me a cup of coffee.
Lea never considered Jesse as her subordinate. She always treated her as her sister in law and Joy as her brother. She was so happy to consider them as their family. This is something that scored the appreciation of Joseph and Sheila. She valued humanity first.
Each and every action Jesse and Lea take in their department showed humanity first attitude. Sheila always pointed out to Fred and Joseph that "You know dear, her every action is based on humanity, Blessings from those who are the recipients of her humanity is enough to save our generations to come."
Sheila phoned Lea for something but it was Jesse who attended the phone. She told her that Lea is feeling weak. Sheila advised Lea to come home and she obeyed her mom.
When she reached home, ,Sheila was preparing coffee for her. But on looking at her face, Sheila felt something else and gave her a glass of milk.
Smell of fish was coming from the kitchen and she felt puking. She ran to the toilet. Frankly, Sheila was doubting that Lea is pregnant.
She called Dr Tom and he informed him the details. He came home with a pregnancy test kit and it turned to be positive.
Lea was on her bed. A moment for the whole family to rejoice. Sheila loved her daughter in law more as her own daughter. She was jumping with happiness......
She went out that day early to bring Hanna home. She brought a lot of vegetables to cook for Lea which is best for pregnant ladies and avoided pappaya, pineapple etc from fruits.
She told Hanna that she is going to be a big sister. She purposely did not contacted Fred regarding this and advised Lea not to tell him, mum has something in store for her son.
