Ina woke up the next morning and found Damien was already awake, he seemed to be thinking about something that was occupying his mind from yesterday, she doubted that it was work, but it was something else.

"Care to share?" Damien heard Ina voice and turned around to look at her.

​​

"Sorry, did I wake you up?" He asked moving closer to her.

Nodding her head no, she snuggled closer to him.

"Tell me what you are thinking about? and don't tell me work because it's not." Ina asked and heard him sigh.

Damien knew that he can't keep this forever from her and at some point, he needs to tell her.

"If I were to tell you that we should go and live with your parents, what would your answer be?" Damien asked as he looked at her.

Ina chuckled understanding the whole situation now, he could have told her directly without all of this.

"My parents told you that we should move in with them because of my current situation, right?" She asked, lifting her head to look at him.

"Yes." Damien replied.

"Hmm, let me think about it for a while, it might be a good idea." Ina said as rested her head again on his chest.

"You don't need to force yourself if you don't, we are doing good handling things on our own." He said trying to not make her feel bad at herself.

"I know." Ina replied and felt him kiss the top of her head.

...

Later on, after Damien left for work, Ina's mother came.

"How do you feel today?" Her mother asked as she sat down beside her.

"Not very good, but okay." Ina replied and noticed the sadness in her mother's eyes, it's been more than a month and her parents haven't accepted the news about her sickness.

"Mom, are you going to cry like this every time you come to see me? It makes me feel bad." Ina said as she rubbed her mother's hand soothingly.

Wiping her tears, her mother apologised.

"I'm sorry, you are right."

"Damien told about you and father told him to go live in our house." Ina spoke, she wasn't rejecting the Idea but hoped that they spoke with her first.

"We only want to take care of you, Ina, both I and your father have been reading about this disease so we can try to understand what you are going through, not a day goes by that I don't wonder how you are doing and if you are in pain?." Eleanor explained and saw her daughter smile at her.

Ina hugged her mother and said.

"I know, it's difficult for all of us, not just me, I can see the worry and the sadness in everyone eyes, I'm sad too, but I need to keep on trying to live my life normally, as for going to live with you and father, just give me some time to think about, alright." Ina said and her mother nodded her head.

At 4 PM Damien came to pick up Ina to go to the doctor visit.

"Welcome, miss Ina, you look great today." The doctor said welcoming her.

"Thank you." Ina said and took a seat with Damien's help.

The doctor opened her file to look at the new blood tests results, after a while from reviewing her medical file the doctor said.

"Everything looks good, so now you can tell why asked to see me today, Miss Ina?" The female doctor asked.

Damien looked at Ina and silently asked her if he could speak first and she nodded her head.

"We have been thinking about starting a family but we were wondering if this might be affecting her disease or not, so we wanted to ask first?" Damien asked as he held In hand offering her his support.

The female doctor smiled at the young couple and replied.

"Of course you can, with the right medical care it's completely harmless." The doctor replied and noticed how Ina sighed in relief.

"It's a good decision that you planned to start a family now as it's going to be hard with the disease stages developments." The doctor added.

"Thank you, doctor." Damien said before they left the clinic.

"Happy?" Damien asked as they walked back towards the car.

Nodding her head, Ina smiled as she thought about the possibility of having more than one child but she is not going to tell Damien about this now.

"Well, I'm happy that you are happy." Damien said kissing the back of her hand making her giggle.

"Mom is not going to be happy about this." Ina said as she looked outside the window.

"Don't worry, we won't tell her until you are pregnant then she won't have anything to do except accept the news and wait for her grandchild." Damien suggested and Ina liked the idea.

...

With Katherine and Owen, at his parent's mansion.

"I didn't think that you would have the face to show up after what happened last month." Owen said as he slipped on his wine.

Owen's parents had invited him and Katherine to dinner but he didn't expect that he was going to see Lucy here tonight.

"I won't give up on you, I said it to you before and I'm repeating it again." Lucy said moving closer to him but Owen moved from his place.

"What a shameless woman you are but I hate to break the news to you, Kathy is pregnant with my child and we are going to get married next month, so it's better to go and look for someone else." Owen said, looking at her face, expressions that turned ugly before he left going back towards Katherine's side.

Lucy felt angry hearing what Owen just said, she had enough with this girl and now she must get rid of her, at first, she thought that he was playing with her and not taking their relationship seriously, but she is carrying his child now and they are going to get married, that is too much for her to handle.

"You must take care of yourself." Owen heard his mother say to Katherine as he sat down beside her.

"Owen is taking good care of me, and my sister is visiting me every day." Katherine replied feeling Owen hand on hers.

Zeus, who was sitting on the couch and placing his head on Katherine's lap, suddenly lifted his head up, staring at Lucy who joined them in the living room.

"Congratulations, Katherine, I just heard from Owen, but isn't it too early to have a child now, especially with your condition." Lucy spoke emphasising the last word.

Daniel was about to reply but Katherine stopped him by holding his hand tightly.

"Thank you, and yes it's early but it just happened, as for my condition I think it's impolite to say something like this for a disabled person, but jealousy can bring the worst of the person." Katherine's reply amused both Owen and his mother.

"Lucy, I think it's time to ask you to leave my house and never go back. I had tolerated you much but not anymore, please leave." Owen's mother spoke about having had enough with this girl.

Lucy was shocked and didn't know how to respond.

"Aunty..." Lucy tried to say something but her aunt stopped her.

"No, you won't add another word, leave my house right now." Owen's mother spoke with a firm tone.

Katherine who could only hear what was happening felt embarrassed for the girl while Owen was grinning from side to side as he stared at Lucy who looked like she was about to explode from the anger.

"Let's go upstairs." Owen said as he helped Katherine to stand up and headed towards the stairs towards his room followed by Zeus.

He didn't want Katherine to stay in this tensioned atmosphere or around Lucy.

"Your mother shouldn't have kicked her out." Katherine said once they arrived at his room.

"It's better like this, besides she deserves it, she is an ill-mannered person, how could she say these words to you." Owen said and sighed.

Katherine who was sitting on the bed felt Owen place his head on her lap.

"Let's not think about her anymore, okay." Katherine said as she started to run her fingers through Owen's hair.

"Yes." He said and turned his head, placing a kiss on Katherine's abdomen.

Owen now was worried about Katherine, Lucy is a very harmful girl, she can do anything when it comes to achieving what she wants, even if it's by force.

He needs to make sure that Katherine stays away from her as much as possible, he has already assigned more bodyguards at the apartment building but he still feels that this is not enough.

He was thinking about buying a house and changing their place.

Owen took Katherine's hand and brought it to his lips kissing her palm, he was very happy that he is going to be a father soon and also worried at the same time.
