"I need you to call that auction and find out who put that gem on the list," Gavin

said, taking hold of my hand and guiding me out of his mom's room.

"You don't really think she'd steal it, do you?" Donna asked, trailing after us. I

could hear the worry in her voice, and I started to feel bad. If she was truly

deceived by Daisy, it meant everything she knew was a lie.

"That's what we need to find out," Gavin said as we made our way down the

stairs. "Regardless, Judy and I are going to that auction on Saturday. We can't let

anybody get to that gem. But I need you to find out the truth about Daisy. I'll send

Taylor over in the morning, and you can investigate it tomorrow. But call the

auction tonight and see if you can get the gem pulled. It belongs to you, so that

might be enough to retrieve it."

Donna nodded as we stopped at the front door. She looked uneasy; her mind

clouded with thoughts.

Gavin turned to look at his mother.

"I know this wasn't your fault," he told her gently. "But we need to remain calm if

we want to figure this out. There's no use in dwelling on what can't be controlled."

She looked up at him, tears filling her eyes, and then she nodded slowly.

"I'm so sorry..." she whispered. "I had no idea."

"I know."

She then looked at me, more tears filling her eyes.

"Are you really carrying my grandpup?" She asked me, much to my surprise.

I put my hand on my belly, feeling my nerves jostling.
