Convenient Marriage: Mr. Nelson's Love Trap by Hannah Baker

Tomorrow was the weekend, the children told Jayden after school that they wanted to visit Dolores at the hospital.

"Granny." Amanda ran up to Jessica who was welcoming her with open arms. She reminded her to slow down but Amanda dashed up to her at full speed. Her momentum nearly knocked Jessica down, "You never listen to it, aren't you?"

Amanda wrapped her arms around her neck, "I missed you and want to hug you."

Jessica patted her back, smiling, "My remaining life depends on you."

"No problem," Amanda replied without hesitation. Any adult would be glad to hear such a reply.

"Let's go in," Jessica carried Amanda in her arms, "This weight, soon I'll not be able to carry you."

Andrew went straight into the patient room looking for his mom, "Where is mommy?"

Jessica was stunned and immediately said she was under monitoring.

"Monitoring? Did she give birth to our little sibling?" Andrew asked excitedly.

Jessica nodded.

"Yay, I'm a big sister now." Amanda hugged her brother excitedly, "You are going to be a big brother."

Andrew was speechless.

Jayden asked, "Is Dolores alright?"

Jessica glanced at the kids and said, "It was critical but she is fine now."

"Mommy gave birth to a girl or a boy?" Andrew asked.

Jessica forgot to ask.
