Matthew P.O.V

Everything between me and Josie was back to normal. I still can't believe I was her first. That fact makes her even more precious to me. I asked her to move to my room officially and she said yes.

I asked her to be my girlfriend over a special dinner with our family and friends and she said yes. I was the happiest man on earth that day. I could officially call her mine. My Josie.

The children were thrilled to have a new mommy who loved them. We haven't heard from Marion so we don't know what she is upto.

Then I get a call from Josie. She seems distressed.

"Come down baby,tell me what's wrong?",I urged her because I couldn't make out what was happening.

"Some guy has just delivered papers from court demanding custody of the children",she said amidst sobs.

"Whaaattt? Come down baby,I will be right there.",I told her and hang up.

I quickly grabbed by phone and suit jacket,informed Lynda to cancel all my meetings and I took Benji with me. We found a devastated Josie holding a confused Quisha. Me and Benji went through the documents.

"I will kill Marion",I screamed. I couldn't let my children go to her.They cannot stay with her.

Then my phone rang. "Hey baby,I guess you got your serving.",Marion purred on the other end.

"I will not let you take my children you bitch. I will make sure of that....",I was cut short by Josie who grabbed the phone from me.

"Listen Marion and Listen good. These are not your children. They are mine now. You may have birthed them but I will raise them. If I were you,I would back off. Let my children be",she screamed and turned off the phone.

Me and Benji were shocked by her outburst. All in a blur,she was falling. I rushed and held Quisha while Benji held her.

We quickly rushed her to hospital.

Josie P.O.V

I woke up as bright light burned my eyes. I observed my surroundings only to see Matthew with a goofy smile. Benji holding Quisha who wanted to come to me.

I tried to sit up but Matthew stopped me. "Not so fast baby girl,"he said placing some pillows behind me.

"What am I doing here? ",I asked.

"You fainted and we rushed you here",Matthew replied still smiling goofily. Then the past events started flooding back.

"Oh my God. The children. Where are they?",I said panicking.

"Calm down baby. They are fine. Lynda has them",Matthew said.

"Okay. And why did I faint?",I asked. His grin just got bigger.

Then my mum and siblings,Lynda and the children burst through the door. I hugged everyone. We chatted for a little while discussing what we shall do with the custody case.

All the while,Matthew was smiling."Wait,this is a serious matter and you are wearing a goofy smile. What's wrong with you",I asked Matthew.

"Looks like we got goodnews amidst bad news"he replied.

"What do you mean.?",I asked clearly confused.

"How is the mama to be feeling now?" the doctor said coming towards my bed.

"Mama to be? ",I asked.

"Yes,you are 3 months pregnant",she replied.

Everyone screamed. Matthew hugged me. I couldn't contain my happiness. I was going to be a mum.

"Mommy, you have a baby here?",leo asked touching my belly.

"Yes baby,you are going to be a big brother again",I cooed to him.

Toya on the other side wasn't excited.

"What's wrong baby? You are not happy?",I asked with concern.

"You going to love the new baby more than us. You will not love us anymore....",Toya said almost crying.

"Shhhh,don't say that baby. You all are my children. I will love you all. You are my biggest baby and I will ofcourse love you always. ",I said hugging her.

"Okay mommy,I love the baby",she said flashing me the biggest smile.

When I was signed out of the hospital, we all went and celebrated.
