"What are you talking about?" Everyone says to my father-in-law in unison.

"I unknowingly placed a burden on my daughter when I told her how this marriage was going to save my dying company. She only wanted what was best for me so she could make me happy. That's why she agreed to all those conditions. I should be blamed for this as well." My father suddenly chuckles. "Oh, please. Enough with that. Why would we blame-"

"Ah!" Vanessa places a hand on her stomach and everyone goes silent in panic.

Letting go of my mother, I immediately rush to Vanessa as I look down at her stomach. "Hey, what's wrong?"

She twists her face in discomfort. "I'm fine."

"Are you sure?" Everyone asks with concern in unison and she chuckles.

"I'm really fine. It's nothing to worry about."

"I hope so because I can't wait to hold my grandchild!" My mother wipes her tears.

"I was just about to say that," my father-in-law chuckles with a cough.

"I think you need some food," my mother says to her.

As Sophie makes a few meal suggestions, Jake opposes her and they begin to banter.
