Chapter Fourty seven

The unexpected happened

Emily said "I didn't realise you will bring her here."

Jakes said "she is my fiancée."

Laura said "is this Jakes baby and why tell us now?"

Emily said "I called this meeting."

Jakes said" we just want to know."

Emily said "it's your baby and I wasn't planning to tell you."

Jakes said "why what did I do to you for you to do this?"

Emily said "you don't know, first you didn't love me, you broke my heart used me and showed me off to your friends."

Jakes said "please forgive me for that, I was horrible person. "

Laura said "is that all Emily?"

Emily said "I put him up for adoption."

Jakes said "why would you do that?"

Laura said" Emily, Me and jakes will raise the baby no need for the baby to be adopted."

Emily said "that wasn't the plan, I was supposed to marry jakes and raise the child together. "

Jakes said "you got pregnant on purpose are you out of your mind?"

Emily said" no, I did not if I did I would have made sure you and I are together. I saw how at college you were so close with Laura and didn't want anything to do with me and your friends anymore."

Jakes said "you and I were friends not lovers or anything, I didn't love you then and I don't love you now I am sorry Emily just want to be a father to my child."

Laura said "you will find someone who loves you and treat you right, you can't take the baby away just to punish jakes."

Emily said "do you know how it feels to love someone who does not love you back?"

Jakes said "I don't."

Emily said "I wasn't talking to you."

Laura said "I don't, I didn't love myself or love anyone had to love myself first, in order to love someone or to be loved."

Emily said "you're beautiful, you're with jakes."

Jakes said "I am not with her because she is beautiful."

Laura said "it is okay babe, I didn't always feel this beautiful I had to find myself, even when I met my handsome fiancé, who kept telling me I am beautiful and do you want to know what love is?"

Emily said "I do, but does that matter every man I was with used me like jakes."

Laura said "God is love, I didn't know what love is until I gave my life to Jesus to be saved, he won't leave you or forsake you."

Emily said "sounds better than having a boyfriend or rich boy like jakes."

Jakes said" really, I did not come here for insults Emily."

Laura said "well she is pregnant blame it on hormones."

Emily said "am I good enough for God can I be truly saved?"

Laura said "if you want to, I can pray for you to be born again right now only if you truly want Jesus to be your savoir."

Emily said "I do, I don't want to feel unloved, empty and broken never again."

She was now saved born again, they were smiling crying and then the contractions happened

Jakes said "are you alright?"

Emily said" my water broke."

Laura said "breathe, Jakes just get the car."

Emily said "we won't make it the baby is coming now."

Jakes said "what do we do now?"

Emily shouts "don't just stand there."

Laura said "jakes please get the towels."

Laura and jakes, delivered the baby into this world, baby boy Emily named him Elijah, Elijah from the bible that's the only name she knew or remembered from her Sunday school services as a child besides Jesus. "Elijah is confident and has faith, I want my child to be like that." Emily says. They didn't think things will turn out like this, Emily being born again and they delivered the baby into this world.

While waiting at the hospital

*Seems like Laura was willing to accept Jakes son as her child too. We all have the crazy long lists of things you are not willing to compromise on and then life happens gets complicated. What do you do, leave or stay. If you want to have someone stop those long lists and compromise. Not saying it is wrong to have things you are not willing to compromise on just some are crazy and standing between what you can have being married.*

Jakes said "what a day, I'm so bless to have you I don't know what I would have done, if you were not here."

Laura said "we are partners, I have never been so nervous in my life, the pain women go through to give birth and it's scary."

Jakes said "I almost passed out, I love you honey you're amazing."

Laura said "I love you too, things have been crazy but nothing changes I got your back."

The doctor said "the baby is healthy and strong, we just need to keep Emily her for few days, she is not strong enough to leave this hospital."

They prayed they have learn to have faith and believe for miracles , not that they didn't worry but the learn to make God the centre of their lives, it was either they will panic, have crazy thoughts about Elijah not growing up without his Mother or choose to let God be in the control in the situation

Emily was now out of the hospital and she went to the mansion.

Evelin said "welcome, Emily."

Emily said "thank you, I told jakes and Laura I will be fine at my place."

Evelin said "there are just worried about you."

Emily said "I'm alive was not in any danger whatsoever was just not stronger to leave the hospital and my baby is healthy too."

Evelin said "you can stay as long as you like, there's staff here who will help you with the baby and I'm also here. "

Emily said "Thank you so much, I'm not planning on staying here for long, I know I wanted to give my baby away. When I first hold him I knew I wanted to hold him forever and be a good mother to him."

Evelin said "does jakes know about this?"

Emily said "will tell him, he has done enough him and Laura."

Evelin said "this place is big enough for everyone, you will have your privacy and I can go on without seeing jakes for months in this house, just how insane the place is."

Emily said "it is incredible, classy and elegant just so fancy. Anyway I'm here until I get better to go and raise my son I promise to include jakes in his life he won't miss out on anything."

Evelin said "just think about it, don't rush into any decision now. "

*Jakes and Laura having a conversation now that Emily is leaving with them.*

Jakes said "I know it must not be easy living under the same roof with Emily."

Laura said "it does not feel that way, she is on the other side and not worried about anything."

Jakes said "still if you need to talk about it I'm here, I appreciated your support my soon to be wife."

Laura said "wife, how does spring wedding sound to you?"

Jakes said "will have to wait for three months babe."

Laura said "fine, first time parent Emily will need you, this is new to her to me, and we can wait for baby to be 3months old."

Jakes said "3 months babe I promise will be married and start our lives together you are worth the wait."

Laura said "while postponing the wedding plans, we can launch our company now everything is set."

Jakes said "let's just do it, I will tell Evelin that we are finally doing it, I'm excited."

Laura said "I hope she doesn't feel like we just drop her."

Jakes said "I don't think so, I will be just a silent partner so she can do as she likes with all the companies we own, and you and I have to fulfil our dreams."

Evelin was desperate to have baby Elijah stay with them her not able to have kids, was making her obsess over baby Elijah and Laura was worried about her.

Evelin said "I hear you and my brother are starting your own company I thought you to love it there."

Laura said "it's awesome there, just Jakes and I planned how we want how future to be like."

Evelin said "I hear, you two will do great."

Laura said "Thank you, about baby Elijah he so cute right?"

Evelin said "he looks so much like jakes when he was a baby, I would do anything to have such a cutie around."

Laura said" you can, miracles do happen and they are so many options."

Evelin said "I don't want to go through all this options I'm old, I have accepted how things are and all I can do is to be an awesome aunty."

Laura said "okay, don't get too attached to baby Elijah, I don't want you to get hurt."

Evelin said "what are you on about?"

Laura said "your desperation to have him here, its concerning."

Evelin said "what's concerning is you not wanting him here, if jakes knew in time about the baby he would be marrying her."

Laura said "you just trying to avoid what is happening here, I don't doubt how jakes feels about me, and whether he knew in time it wouldn't change anything."

Evelin said "really, why do I hear you are desperate to get married, must have to do with Emily being here while you and jakes are still waiting must suck."

Laura said "it is what it is, life happens jakes didn't plan for this."

3 months later

Baby Elijah was 3months old, they brought him to the lord, baptised. Emily was living in her home with baby now and had help from staff paid by jakes to look after the baby while she goes to work.
