The Doubt 1

Fred: Hmm, I need to find out a donor for her. I want to be prepared in advance. How come she got this rare blood group.

Shiela: Because her mother or father had this.

Fred: Mom..... You mean.....

Shiela: Hmm, both I and Jane were studying in Harward University at that time. She was madly in love with an Irish. She got pregnant. She only realised it at the third trimester and abortion was not possible as it will lead to death of mother too. All I know is she delivered and the baby died. I suspect it was a lie. Is Lea her daughter?... I know it seems to be weird but thinking about her age and the incident and also look she resembles Jane vey much."

"We can do a DNA test to prove but how to get Jane's sample?"

Fred was thinking upto that extend.

"Hi hi hi, am your mother, I already did that, requested the nurse there to do that.". She was giggling and Joseph and Fred sat stupified.... "Superb mother"...💐💐💐💐

They all laughed...

But they were curious to know what really had happened.

By night, Charlie measeged him to take appointment with Joan's doctor. He booked appointment for the next day, 4 PM slot.

He informed his parents regarding this.

"Joseph, do you really think she has changed?". Sheila asked. Though she stood by his decision, she hate that because she killed her son.

"If Lea and Hannah can forgive her, then it will be best we do the same. Haven't you noticed the calm and quiet and peaceful atmosphere at our home?. Don't you feel happy inside the room. Is it the same before when Lea and Hanna were brought in? They are kind and I strongly believe that their kindness is bringing all these. I truly love to support her decision. If she has changed, we should forgive her. If Not, we won't leave her. Anyways, Charlie has changed from his looks and behaviour. Karma returns Sheila. Let us do good. But we need to be extra cautious when we meet her. She is extra cunning. I suspect she is acting and Charlie has fallen to the trap unknowingly. Let us see... ". He was decided...

"It's okay dad, we can manage this. But still... I will never trust her. She and her revenge is poison.". Fred felt hopeless when he thought about her character.

"Okay mom n dad, let me.sleep. Good night."

"Good.night son"....

Next day morning.

Fred was still lying on the bed and thinking about his "To Do List" for the day.

Yes, the important day, they are paying a visit to Joan today. He wished everything to be fine. God knows. Any way I need to consider dad's words. He will never intentionally harm us.

Our aim is good, everything will be fine, if not............ She is the one going to suffer...... I will never leave her happy. ....... Her main wish would be to destroy Lea and Hanna, they are part of my soul. My family, my parents and them. How can I ever leave them in danger.

"You don't wanna go to office today?" Lea entered room with a cup of coffee.

"I have to, give me the cup." He extended his hands to her.

"Hmmm. Mom asked me not to drink coffee. I miss that. " She handed over the cup to him and sulked.

"You look beautiful when you sulk." he mocked her sulking style.

"Fred,........ I need something." Who else she would ask for her .

"Whats it, just tell me. I will get you that"

"Can you guess at least. "

"How can I know what is in your beautiful mind, darling?" He felt her a bit tricky with her words.

Caressing her belly she said "Look baby, your daddy is soooo ignorant of mamma's needs while I am carrying you. Be a good boy when you grow up and fulfill mamma's wishes. " Her lips sloped to one side.

"Oh, I am sorry baby. I don't know how your mamma decided you to be a boy. Boy or girl, you are my kid and would be as adorable as my little Hannah." He said hugging her and kissing her belly.

"Thank you daddy. You love me so much. I don't mind if I get a sis or bro, they are mine. Earlier I though I need a bro like Alan. But Alan told me we should never think like that. The baby should be healthy despite the gender." Hanna was hearing the sweet talk between her parents.

"Hanna, have you decided on any names for your baby. Find names for both boy and girl. We can ask grandpa and grandma to choose from that list. We won't interfere. ". To which she agreed.

"You had your lunch baby?" Lea asked.

"No, I am waiting for dad and you. Grandma asked me to call you two down. Come back fast. Let me go down." She went back to the dining room.

'Before Hanna and Lea came here, dad will have lunch at a time when he likes, mom as per her wish and me....... sometimes have sometimes skip. Things have changed in my family a lot. There is a unity in everything. If Charlie wouldn't have done that, Micheal and Joan also would have been happy here with their kids....... Hmm at least we are happy now. Thank God. .......... Oh, I too started trusting God now', he thought with a smile.

"Are you dreaming or thinking of my wish?" Lea had no plan to leave him.

"I was dreaming, dreaming a day when we two make a travel to see all the seven wonders in the world." He said.

"Oh, that is not my wish. That is your wish. I don't think we can ever make it. I am a pregnant lady and I want to eat two people's food, one my portion and other my baby's portion. No one here want to know what I want to eat now. " She sulked again.
