Wiping her tears off, Ingrid gestured her to stop crying, "no dear don't say that, Gavin loves you with every beat of his heart. He cherish you a lot and I can boast of that."
"Then why hasn't he put a ring on my finger yet? Why hasn't he purposed yet? I told him I don't want to get pregnant outta wedlock but he insisted I carry his child before any other thing. Mom am tired of Gavin and am fed up with all these promises and hopes that never comes to pass"
"Aunt Amy don't think that way, uncle Gavin is a good guy and because of him you're at the top today. He has done a lot for you, me and mom. I know that he will surely grant you your wishes someday"
"Some day you called it to be but not today, not tomorrow, not next week so when? Am fu–
Cutting Amber off, a man in his early fifties, startled them. "My dears!"
Turning around to trace the voice, Aaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!! Amber, Ingrid and Diego ran for their dear life when they someone, thinking it was a ghost.
Curling his lips upwards, the man chuckled, "why are you all running away from me?" Spreading his arms out, he added, "it's me, come on and give me a hug"

"No that's a lie, you were dead some years ago so it's evident that it's your spirit whom is standing here" Ingrid said.
Frowning confusedly with his mouth wide opened in shock, "Ingrid? You thought I was dead because you heard the news of my plane crash? You thought I was dead because I didn't return home for years?"
"If you're not dead then prove it" Amber said.
"Yes prove it to us that you're not dead" Diego added.

Derek's apartment
Dusting the couches with the blue napkin towel, Miranda muttered a song 'Exist for love by Aurora' while she was busy cleaning the house.
"I can't imagine how it is
To be forbidden from loving (ah, ah)
'Cause when you walked into my life
I could feel my life begin–
Cutting her off, jasmine took the napkin from her. "Do you want to put me in big trouble? You're nine months pregnant and you're still cleaning and stressing yourself"
Awkwardly scratching her neck, "but–
"There's no ifs and buts" holding her hand, she added, "you come with me" placing her on the couch, "sit here and don't move an inch" placing her hands on her hips, she sighed. "I don't want my grandbaby to feel any form of stress at all neither do I want you to stress yourself."
"Mom am fine, if I don't work myself out then how will I become strong before the delivery day?"
