~LEWIS HOSPITAL~
FLASHBACK_FEW MINTUES AGO**
“She is fine, Mr Lancelot. You have to stop worrying now. She just caught slight cold and with our medications, she will be fine as soon as she wakes up” The doctor said in a reasurring manner trying calm the tensed Andrew.
This time, he just couldn’t help it, he couldn’t control his emotions. When he saw her lying down shivering on the bed, he could feel his heart skipping beats. And then, on rushing her to the hospital, his heart was thumping loudly. Various thought ran through his mind as she was wheeled into the ward in her unconscious state.
“She is fine right?” He asked wanting to be more sure.
“Yeah and the baby is fine too” The doctor said with a smile. A slight frown appeared on Andrew’s face, confusion was boldly written on his countenance.
“You don’t know about the child in her? She is a month gone” The doctor added.
Andrew remained quiet for a while, thinking hard.
“You had s*x with her about a month ago during the blind date set up by your grandmother” His subconscious mind spelt out for him.
“Does that mean….. the child is mine?” Andrew turned to face the doctor.
“You are her husband right? Then there is a high possibility that the child is yours” The doctor managed to answer.
“This is a very crucial time and she should try to be very careful. She should avoid stressing herself and also register for our antenatal exercise, that will help her a lot considering this is her first delivery” The doctor adviced. Andrew just nodded his head absentmindedly, lost in his own thoughts.

BACK TO PRESENT**
Karen’s eyes widened like they could pop out of their sockets. Various thoughts were running through her head as she stared back at him.
“For me?” He added, more like a question. Karen’s mouth opened subconsciously.
Silence ensured between them for a while as Karen was finding it difficult to construct her words. She swallowed hard as she finally opened her mouth to speak.
“You remember me right? The drunk lady at Vivi’s hotel. We had a one night stand and then….. it resulted to this, pregnancy” Karen answered.
Andrew took a deep breathe not saying a word. The silence was deafening and ki||ing, Karen raised her head to look at Andrew’s ever cold and expressionless face. His countenance was just blank making it hard to Karen to dive into his thoughts. Curiousity was eating deep inside of her.
“You remember me right?” She asked after a while.
“Fine, the child will be given birth to and for assurance sake, a DNA test would be conducted. I’ll take full responsibility as the child’s father” Andrew said and that made Karen sigh in relief. Just what she had been scared of the whole time.
She muttered a thanks before burying her head to the ground, shyly.
“In between, do you feel better? The doctor said you can be discharged as soon as you wake up” Andrew asked. Karen raised her head up in shock, she turned to look behind her and obviously there was no one else in the ward.
“Me?” She inquired.
Andrew let out a grunt before standing up.
“I’m feeling okay, thanks for bringing me here” She rushed her words before he went out. Karen jumped on the bed heaving a sigh of relief.
“Did you hear what daddy said? He is going to take full responsibility as your father. I guess despite his cold look, there is still some warmth left in him” Karen said caressing her stomach with a smile on her face.

~REDFORD MANSION~
Kimora opened her eyes gently as the sun rays hit her face. She blinked her lashes rapidly as the unfamiliar place greeted her at her first glance.
“Where am i?” She wondered loudly, scratching her already messy hair. Everything scene from last night played in her head. She removed the duvet covering her body and a shrill scream escaped her lips.
Redford was the first to rush in and he went to her immediately out of concern. A woman stopped at the doorway not bothering to go into the room.
“What’s it? You had a bad dream or what?” He asked touching her hand. Her next action sent him flying to the ground and landing with a groan. She raised her leg to his face, hitting him with all her might.
“You bloody pervert! What have you done to me huh? Who told you to bring me to your goddamned house? You should have just left me at the bar at least it’s safer there than here. You force yourself on me right? Shameless…..
Kimora kept on blowing hot, spewing wh@ťěver that came to her mind. Her eyes suddenly landed on the elderly woman at the door post and the rest of the words went back to her stomach.

“When he brought you home, you were really drunk. You even threw up on Redford and yourself too. I couldn’t let you go to bed like that so I had to clean you up and I also changed your dress to his shirt since it is the only available clothes we have to spare” Ms. Avery explained to Kimora who is now more calm. She swallowed into nothing feeling embarrassed at herself.
“I apologize for flaring up without knowing the truth. I just jumped into conclusion without confirming first” She apologized soberly.
“It’s fine my dear, I would have also reacted that way if I were to be you” Ms. Avery replied with a smile.
“Then, I’ll take my leave. I’m sorry for all the troubles I have caused” Kimora said. She turned to Redford who has been quiet the whole time. She bowed at him before walking out. She was rushing to a particular direction without any idea of where she was heading to. All she wants is to leave the place as she was feeling ashamed of herself.
“Where are you going to? The door is this way” Redford said to the confused Kimora. She halted right on her step before turning to face the mother and son. She forced a smile before finally dashing off.
“You should be a gentleman and see her off” Ms. Avery said with a sneer. Redford just rolled his eyeballs standing up from the couch. His face was still red as a result of the kick he received on his face earlier.
“I like her vibes though….. what do you think about her? Your exact style of lady right?” Ms. Avery pressed on further.
“I’m not interested” Redford cuts her off coldly before walking away.

~LANCELOT MANSION~
“Good morning sir” Karen greeted cheerfully as soon as Andrew slighted the stairs. Thanks to the medications, she was feeling a bit better and she was able to wake up early to cook.
“Morning” He answered briefly making her eyes sparkled. She never imagined that he would reply to her greetings. I mean, the typical Andrew will just walk off.
“I made breakfast, would you like to try it out? Please” She pleaded making cute faces. The fact that he responded to her greetings gave her a little hope.
He settled down on one of the dinning chairs without saying a word. A smile appeared on Karen’s face as she hurriedly served his food.
“What do you think?” She couldn’t help but ask as soon as he took his first spoon.
“As usual” He responded simply making her shoulder drop. She took a deep breathe feeling down but she managed to mask it up with a smile.
“Delicious as usual, you are a great cook” He added out of the blues. Karen palmed her face with her hand happily. She was trying hard not to scream out her lungs.
Did he just compliment her?
“Thank you” she replied happily but this time she got no reply. She bit her bottom lips before concentrating on her own meal.

~LATER IN THE AFTERNOON~
Karen was just lying down on the bed counting the ceiling feeling bored when her phone buzzed loudly.
“Hey, wassup?” Kimora sent.
“I’m good, I told him about the…..
“I have a lot to tell you, I think I am in love! Let’s meet up okay?” Another text entered before she could even type her reply. A smile appeared on Karen’s face as she read that. Somehow, she could feel Kimora’s excitement.
She cleared what she was about typing and sent another.
“Sure, lets meet up. I have something to tell you too” She replied.
“How about now? I’m feeling super hyper” Kimora sent another text.
“Sure, in an hour time. I’ll be visiting mom in the hospital, let’s meet there” Karen replied before dropping her phone.

~YUN’ S HOSPITAL~
“Mom, your daughter is here again with lots of shocking news to tell you. I apologize for not coming over for a while now. I’ve been trying to settle down with married life. You heard that right? I am married now and pregnant too. It all happened at once and I just hope things turn out well at the end. Get better soon okay?” Karen said kissing her mom’s hand. A tear dropped from her eyes but she quickly wiped it off.
“And Luciana….. I don’t know what to do, she is a very good friend to me. She even paid your medical bills. I….. we’ve been together for so long and then…. she is against my decision in marrying Andrew, she suddenly changed…. I miss her a lot” Karen whimpered. The tears she was trying to hold came feel without much effort.
“I was wondering whose voice I heard…. I just knew that the voice sounded familiar and then it’s you, Mrs Lancelot” She heard a not so familiar voice from the door entrance and that made her turn swiftly.
“Redford” she called out in surprise. She quickly wiped her tears with the back of her hand before standing up and she walked closer to him.
“Mrs Lancelot….. my apologies, Karen” He said with a giggle causing her to chuckle lightly.
“Why are you here? This is the least place I expect you to be” Karen voiced out her thoughts.
“I….. I came to see someone” He answered with so much difficulty, she wanted to prove further but his expression made her decide not to.
“I came here to see my mom, she has been lying in this bed for years now” Karen said with a forced smile.
“I’m sure she’ll wake up soon, let’s keep that hope alive okay?” He said making her nod her head. He brought out an handkerchief from his pocket and used it to wipe the traces of the tears on her face. She wanted to move away but he held her hand making her stay rooted on a spot.
“Don’t ever let tears stay in your pretty face, it’s not cool for someone like you” He said after he finished wh@ťěver he was doing to her face. She faced him with a sneer.
“Why are you doing this?” She inquired. Since he was taller, she had to raise her head up too look at him.
“Because you are Mrs Lancelot” He responded ruffling her hair with a smile on his face.
Meanwhile, Kimora, who was watching the whole thing with mixed feelings, clenched her fist tightly.
