Three Months later
The sun was shining on Nate as he sat in his back yard by the poolside trying to enjoy his day off but he had to take care of some business first.
"So you think you could let be back in?" he turned his head to Rico.
Rico gave him a hard look before lighting a cigar and taking a deep inhale.
"I don't know man you know once your out your out," he told him.
Nate sighed.
"I know but due to my um.. situation I need to make something."
"What's going on you facing prison time or something cause I know a guy."
Nate shook his head.
"It's not that just gonna be a dad soon."
"Guys usually stop selling once they have kids." Rico chuckled.
Nate didn't want to say it but he knew his days working for Jacob was numbered even though he knew he couldn't be fired that doesn't mean Jacob was going to make his life easy.
"It's not... its complicated."
"Well congratulations.. I'll see what I can do."
"Please man I need to get back in,"Nate explained.
Rico paused for moment smoking the cigar.
"Hmm how about this I'll give you something and if you can sell it within fourth eight hours you can come back."
Nate thought about it.
"That sounds good,"he said.
Soon his phone ringed he instantly went into regret when he answered.
"Yea,"he said annoyed
"Is that anyway to talk to your boss." Jacob said on the other end.
Nate rolled his eyes.
"I'm gonna go man," Rico said as he stood up and walked off.
"What do you want," Nate asked.
"I need you to come in today."
"Today is my off day," Nate said surprised.
"Well I got appointments to go to today..so your needed in the office."
"Do I have to...,"he asked.
"If you want to keep your job," Jacob informed him.
"Whatever fine I'll be there," Nate huffed before hanging up.

Jade was walking inside with a stack of letters in her hands.
"I'm back she announced as she walked into the kitchen hearing the roar of the blender.
She watched Jacob standing shirtless with his back facing her. Jade pulled out a barstool and sat at the kitchen counter when Jacob turned around.
"Hey baby how was the doctors appointment?" he asked with a grin.
"It went good the babies are fine and I got this."
she picked up a letter from the stack and held it up flashing a smile.
Jacob looked closer at the letter.
"It's their Genders," she told him.
"Well let's rip it open and find out," Jacob said excited.
Jade pulled her hand back before he could grab the letter.
"I've been thinking about keeping the genders a secret."
"Why," he asked.
"Because I just feel like everyone is in our business now.. especially since we moved in together," She said crossing her arms.
Jacob walked over to her and kissed the top of her head.
"Hey I told you everything is going to be fine," he said his eyes meeting hers.
"I know," she sighed
"So you think you can go six more months without knowing." he teased.
"What makes you say that?" Jade question.
"You like to know everything." He laughed.
"That's called being smart," she smirked.
"If that's what you want to call it. But hey I wanted to ask you something?"
Jade knew it was too early but she couldn't help the excitement if He proposed.
"What is it?"she said sitting up straight.
"I know you need break so will you come to New York with me. No work just us." He looked at her.
"Sure like this weekend."
He shook his head.
"I mean like today we can go now if you want."
Jade raised her brow.
"You already bought tickets," she asked
"No.. why would I need to do that."
"Because how else are we going to get there?" Jade asked.
"I have my own plane," he chuckled
"Oh.. she said.
"You sure ask a lot of questions," he laughed.
"Oh whatever I'm going to take a shower first your free to join me she teased while making her way up the stairs with Jacob following right behind her.
