Everyone walked out of the kitchen/dining room leaving me and Mum Elaina behind to talk in silence.

I fidget with the hum of my sweater with my gaze downcast refusing to see the anger in her eyes towards me "I am sorry please don't be irate with me," I say breaking through the silence between us, possibly my heart drumming in my chest was enough noise to break the silence.

"you have the right to be angry but please don't be I can't take any more anger towards me," I say with tears wetting my jeans before meeting her gaze with pleading in the dept of my eyes " everyone I care and love is angry with me, my Mum, Dad, Sylvia, and most importantly Chance," I say with my gaze flicking between her and the dining table.

I sniff while covering my face with my hands trying to collect myself before feeling a hand resting on my shoulder.

I lift my head to meet the curious and confused look on Mum Elaina's face "I am not angry with you but at myself " she says taking a seat beside me confusing me from what she said.

"I should have come to see you earlier but I just recently got this news, I feel sad about not knowing about this timelier or even asking about your well-being," she says furtively taking my hands in ours.

"no it's not your fault I should be the one to let you know about everything going on in my life," I say rubbing my thumb over her hands with an eerily smile on my lips.

"I need you to tell me everything, okay," she says with a warm encouraging smile.

I nod in reply hesitating for a few minutes putting my thoughts together " after finding at I was pregnant Emma was the first to know so she advised me to let my parents know about this pregnancy putting my fears aside" I say with my voice breaking slightly.

I gulp down the sob trying to break out before starting once again " I was scared knowing fully well of the consequences of my attention but I took Emma's advice and told my parents and Sylvia everything " I said tremulously.

" Dad was so angry he sent me out of the house saying until I make something out of my life I should never return forgetting they were ever my family, but Mum decided it better I stay with Chance for the meantime while she gets Dad to forgive me," I say trying to keep my voice steady as tears run down my cheeks wetting my cheeks.

Mum Sylvia kept running her hands on my back trying to soothe me from crying "take a deep breath it's going to be alright " she says with concern lacing her voice.

I took a deep breath before speaking" I called Chance to pick me up from the bus station that night with my luggage, getting here I told him everything " I say wrapping my tears away recalling everything he said to me on that day.

"he was furious about the pregnancy then he gave me two options " angry tears roll down my cheeks just thinking about the options he gave me," he said I either abort this baby and keep our relationship going or keep the baby and end the relationship," I say running my hands through my hair in frustration and anger.

"why would Chance say something like that? " she whispers under her breath making it a bit difficult for me to hear her.

"I was angry and disgruntled from what he said promising he would make me pay forever for choosing the baby" I stare at mum Elaina while saying the last part before averting my eyes back to the dining table.

"what about Sylvia and your Mum have they spoken with you since then? " she asks curiously.

She and Mum never get along always on each others neck I know It's was one of the reasons Mum was against Chance courting me " yeah but I have heard nothing from them, they phone, always going into voicemail whenever I call" I say confused about they attitude towards me" I visited the industry but I wasn't allowed in because I wasn't a business partner or had an appointment and I can't possibly go over to the house risking a chance of my Dad founding out"

"I will try and see what I can do but in the meantime don't hide anything from me, okay? come to me for advice and anything you need because that is my grandchild you are carrying," she says grinning widely and her eyes sparkling with excitement.

She places her hands on my baby bump "your grandchild loves you already" I say with a smile of my own.

I adore this woman so much "okay enough of the crying you have to show Chance what he is missing and I promise you I won't let Chance get married to Samantha " she says with all seriousness.

I laugh lightly with a grin appearing on my lip" so you are on team Shiloh? " I ask with a playful smirk.

"of course, I have to support my grandchild so when he/she comes out I would be his/her favorite Grandma, " she says with a smirk.

I laugh loudly feeling relieved and happy I could acquit my mind from those irksome thoughts" you are the best, Mum Elaina, I am sure your grandchild would love you just as much" I say embracing her " I missed you so much" I pull away with a wide grin making my mouth hurt, this frisson is making my heart feel lighter.

"I miss you too dear" she smiles warmly " let's go join the rest in the living room, " she says standing before helping me up.

We walk into the living room to find them watching a movie, Chance, and Louis sitting on the settee together with eyes focused on the TV.

While Damien sits on one of the small couches with Emma sitting comfortably on his lap her attention is more on her phone than on the TV.

"I hope I am not expecting a grandchild from you both very soon? " Mum Elaina asks Damien and Emma with a smirk surprising them with our presence.

"Not anytime soon, I and Damien's relationship is basically platonic until marriage, " Emma says smugly with a smile.

I guffaw gaining everyone's attention on me before being joined by Emma.

I cough lightly stopping myself from laughing before taking a seat between Louis and Chance on the settee while mum Elaina took a seat on the couch beside Damien and Emma.

I felt Chance's gaze on me making me uneasy " Uh... What movie are you guys watching ?" I asked staring at the TV.

"We are watching overload, " Emma says focusing her attention on the big screen.

I reply with a nod while focusing on the TV, as it turns out the movie was an action movie more like a horror movie, I screamed in some scenes literally made Louis the comfy teddy bear I use when frightened.

I might or might not have also hugged Chance in the process making it awkward between us, I wasn't the only one who got scared even Mum Elaina, Emma, and Louis were both scared.

"for crying out loud who picked out this movie, " I say using my palm in wrapping sweat off my forehead.

"it was Damien and Chance who decided it was best to watch something scary, " Emma says glaring at the TV.

I took the TV remote placed on Chance's lap before changing the movie to a more relaxing movie receiving glares from both Chance and Damien while Emma says a silent thank you.

"come on Shiloh put the movie back it was getting more interesting, " Damien says with a pleading look.

"really that movie was making me have a constant heart attack," I say mulishly " I also hope it doesn't give me nightmares," I say under my breath.

"you and Emma are being dramatic" Chance taunts" I can't believe Lois was scared," he says mockingly.

"I wasn't surprised he always chickened out whenever it comes to horror movies, " Damien says smothering a laugh while patting Louis on the back in a consoling manner making Emma bite her lip holding back a smile.

Louis pushes his hand away giving both him and Chance an angry stare " shush boys stop teasing Louis you both know Louis is a romantic guy, a Prince Charming who loves romantic scenes" Mum Elaina says with a smile.

Disgust appears on Louis's countenance before changing into a smile "that one of the reasons the girls love me" he says with a wink making us all laugh.

"That also why my heartbeat for you," Emma says playfully blowing a kiss towards him.

"Should I be worried? " both Louis and Damian ask at the same time making us laugh once again.
