Sophia was in the wheel chair while Pearl rolled it down to the Medes mansion. Benjamin was just beside them.
Sophia was very weak that she couldn't walk. Her tummy had swelled up noticeably. She was wearing an over sized T shirt that stopped just above her knees. Then shorts Her hair was then pulled up in a pony tail.
Her heart pounded as they made it through the gate. Tears filled her eyes as she scans the familiar building. The building she dreamed she'd never see again.
"Calm down Sophia" Pearl soots her. "If he accepts it or not, remember that I'm always here for you" Then she leans down and they hug.
Benjamin smiles behind them. It was Williams who had let them in so he directed them to the backyard where the Medes were taking a sun bath.
They were all stretched on beach chairs next to the swimming pool.
Jason was on his business laptop. Veronica was polishing her nails, Janvier was reading a book while Mrs.Medes was at the corner of the backyard making barbeque. Nathaniel was the only one in the pool, splashing about.
Sophia's heart clenches as she noticed the tense mood in the air. The trio was right before them but they didn't seem to notice them. Not until Chua who had brought Veronica a drink, exclaimed.
"Sophia!!! Sophia!! Is that really you"
Everyone looked up as Sophia weakly stands up with a smile as Chua embraced her in a hug.
Everyone else stared at Sophia, shocked. The book in Janvier's hands fell to the ground. She didn't seem to notice.
Chua pulled away. "Wow. Sophia. You've changed so much. I never knew you were this beautiful...Is this your sister?"
Surprisingly to Jason, Sophia wraps her hands in Pearl's.
"Yes. She is"
Jason stands up. He was speechless.
"What are you guys doing here" Veronica asked harshly. So suddenly. Chua even jumps. She quietly leaves under Janvier's glare
"We have some news" Benjamin said.
Pearl slowly helped Sophia to her seat again.
.....Sophia. I thought you were dead....
Jason thought as she stared at her. He knew something was different about her but he couldn't quite say what it was. He noticed how she glanced up at him once in a while and would look back down.
"What's the news" Janvier managed to ask. She couldn't believe that the person she was trying to forget was here.
Mrs. Medes comes into view. She seemed furious. "You shameless girls. How dare you step into our..."
"You have some guts coming back here. Aren't you afraid we will just kill you" Jason asked with a smirk.
Sophia just smiled. "You can try...I won't stop you. But just know...that when you've killed me...you've killed your baby as well"
"Excuse me. What are you saying. Are you pregnant" Veronica asked
Jason's eyes narrowed as he looked at her. His heart thumped against his chest.
....Could it be....Could it be...that ...no....no it can't be...it's just going to be fake...like Angel...
"Yes" Sophia slowly nodded.
Everyone stared at her in shock then back at Jason.
For Sophia to come here taking such a risk to bring such a news...It only meant one thing.
