It's been almost two weeks since Maximous death. The news spread quickly and surprisingly, no one was shocked or sad about his death. It was like they expected it to happen sometime. Evangeline was still missing. They made some rumors. Some say she killed herself and some say she run off with another men.

Isabella didn't believe any of them. She had worked enough in the castle to learn what kind of person she was. Evangeline wasn't that kind of person. She wouldn't cheat on her husband even if she didn't love him. She wanted to be honest and fair with him. She would feel bad about his death but not to the point to kill herself. Isabella believed that she is hidden somewhere, alone. She would want to be by herself after her son's and husband's death.

Kennan didn't care at all. He couldn't care less if she was alive or dead. If she was grieving or not. He just wanted to forget about them and everything her husband did to him and everyone.

Isabella wasn't feel good for the past two weeks. She was feeling nauseous and dizzy. She was staying in bed for most of the day. She was also eating more, she would find herself crave for something would be at the edge of crying if she didn't have it.

She would ask for Kennan to bring it to her. He would immediately try to find it when her eyes teared up. He started to get worried when she kept feeling like that, he thought it was just a cold and it would pass but as the days passed and she wasn't feeling any better, he got anxious.

He also felt guilty for not being by her side like he wanted to. He would leave early in the morning again and return late at night, exhausted. Kennan also felt guilty for making her live in a little hole like this, this tend was made for only one person and since he was alone, he didn't care if he didn't live in a house like the others did.

He wanted her to live like a queen.He wanted to provide her whatever her heart desired. A couple of months ago, he had started building a house. It would be for his family but then he just stopped. He started to believe that he wouldn't find a girl that would complete him. He thought no girl would want him with the fame he has but he was wrong.

When his little one came into his life, everything changed. He started finding himself imagine having a family with her. He decided to continue building the house from where he left it. It was almost finished. It took him two weeks to finish it and he was proud of himself. He walked back, wiping his sweat from his forehead before he took a look at his job.

It was old modern, medium house with gray bricks. There was a garden at the back as he though she would like to plant flowers or vegetables there. He grabbed the handle and carefully opened the wooden door. He looked at his right where he had built a wooden kitchen, then his gaze turn to his right where was placed a small living room with two small light gray couches and a small table in the middle. It was small and cozy.

At the corner was builted an old fashion fireplace with frames placed on top. Wooden stairs were in the middle of the kitchen and the living room. There were three rooms upstairs, each one of them had their own small bathroom.

He nodded to himself, satisfied before he left. It was evening now and he was really happy because he could return earlier then he usually would.

On the other side, Isabella woke up a couple of minutes after Kennan left. She immediately jumped out of the bed. She brushed her teeth and threw cold water to her face in a attempt to make her wake up.

She put her clothes on before she left. She stood still for a minute and took a look around her. Small houses were around. Kids were running around, wide smiles and little giggles escaping them. Their parents were lokking at the with soft smiles on their lips.

She smiled softly as she watched their innocent smiles on their cute little faces. She was observing everything that she didn't hear someone coming from behind her.

"Boo!" He whispered in her ear. She jumped back, placing her hand on top of her beating heart was. Derek was laughing his ass off as he looked at her hilarious face. His face turned red as tears started running down his cheeks.

She was glaring at him with her hands crossed over her chest. She waited for him to stop laughing like an idiot." Are you done?" She raised her eyebrow.

He immediately stopped laughing as he started coughing. It took jim a minute to calm down as he looked at her in shock. He didn't know that she started talking."Y-You talked?" He sutter, his eyebrows raised in shock, as he though he heard wrong. She nodded with a small smile.

"But-t how? When?" He asked with as he blinked several times, trying to understand.

"Now it's not the time, I will tell you later. I just want you to tell me where can I find a doctor." She asked. He frowned confused.

"Why do you need a doctor?." He questioned curiously.

She rolled her eyes,"Just tell me, please!" She pleaded him, looking up at him with puppy eyes. He looked at her for a minute before he signed, giving in. He turned around and nodded his head to follow him.

She smiled, grateful that she had him. She felt her heart beating faster as they approached the building. "Do you want me to come with you?" He asked as they stood in front of the door. Isabella looked like she was about to faint.

She shook her head as she couldn't form a sentencing in her mind. She took a deep breathe, trying to calm her nerves down and she knocked the door. She heard footsteps approaching from the other side before the door opened revealing a middle aged man.

Isabella raised her gaze from the ground and she heard herself gasp. This man looked exactly like her father. He had honey brown eyes like hers with drown hair. He was a tall man at least 6'0. He was well builted. He was wearing a black tshirt with black Jean's and his white coat on top. He didn't look that old. He was smiling at her.

She shook those thoughts off for now. She smiled back and he stepped aside to let her come in. She smiled kindly as she thanked him. He walked in front of her as he told her to follow him. They walked in a room. Isabella took a glance around her as this was her first time going to the doctor.

The room was really small. The walls were painted in white and in the middle of room was placed an office with a window behind it. She looked at the white chair with the paper on it at her right before she looked at her left. It had only a plant as there wasn't much space left.

She quickly sat on the black chair in front of the office as she realized she probably looked like an idiot. Her gaze stuck at the floor as she played with her fingers in her lap nervously.

He walked around the table before he sat down on his chair. He paced his hands on the table, intertwining them and looked at her with sweet smile.

"Well, young lady, what brings you here." He asked her with a soft voice in an attempt to calm her down.

"These past two weeks I have been feeling really nauseous and dizzy. I ignored it at first because I thought it was a little cold but as the days passed, the nauseous and dizziness got worse. I also started eating more." She said, not admitting that she might knew the reason behing this but she didn't want say it.

She knew what these are pregnancy symptoms but she wanted to confirm it. She was thrilled with idea of her being pregnant. She loved kinds and wanted one of her own but when she was a little older. She didn't think she is mature enough to raise a baby.

He nodded,"I think I know what is wrong but we are gunning to run some tests just to be sure." He said as he stands up. She nodded and swallowed hard as she felt anxious.

Isabella sat on the chair once again when she was done with the tests. The doctor sat back with the results in his hands. He looked at them in silence with a sceptical look.

Her leg kept bouncing up and down impatiently. She would bite her nails if she wasn't in front of a strange man. She exhaled loudly as she felt like he was taking eons to read that freaking paper.

After a minute, he raised his gaze with a wide smile on his lips. "Congratulations, Miss." She frowned confused. He noticed her confused expression and chuckled," You are pregnant." He announced seeming generously happy.

Her breath hitched as she froze in her place. She stared blankly at him before she placed a hand over her hung mouth. After a couple of minutes of staying like that, a wide smile formed on her lips.

"Pregnant?" She asked in disbelief. He chucked in amusement at her reaction. He nodded, making a small laugh escape her.

She got up, thanking him repeatedly, her smile not leaving her face. He was smiling at her the while time, finding her reaction cute.

He accompanied her to the door, where she turn to him," How much do I owe you, Doctor?" She asked him curious.

He waved her off,"Please call me, John. You don't owe nothing. We talked with Derek about this. You don't have to worry about it." He smiled.

Her smiled left her face as she stared at him in shock. She swallowed the lamp forming in her throat. "J-John?" She suttert. His eyebrows frowned but nodded." John Stones?" She asked him swallowing hard. She watched him as his eyes widen in shock.

"Yes." He replied, not knowing what else to say. He was asking himself how she knew his surname if she hadn't met him before. Her eyes watered as she gasped.

"Dad?"
