"I am fine, Chris." Sharon said trying to get up from the bed.

"No... you fainted Sharon. For God's sake and my sanity, please be on bed until the doctor comes."

Sharon rolled her eyes, she was walking properly to get ready for their usual Friday date. It's been four months since their wedding and four and half years of dating. Sharon was in pure bliss. Sometimes she fiinds it hard to believe that her life turned out to be so happy. Though Sharon faces few problems from her mother in law, she never ratted her to Chris because she doesn't want a rift between mother and son, there was nothing she couldn't handle.

"Chris.... " she called but he was pacing around.

"Chris..." she tried again.

"Huh? You need something, love." He asked.

Sharon took his hands into hers and tugged him so he sat beside her, "I wanted to tell you this tonight with card and all but me fainting spoils my plan." She said reaching for something under the bed.

It was a Small rectangular box. She placed it in his hand and studied him. Chris raised his eyebrow in confusion.

"Open it"

"What is it?" He asked smiling and opening the box.

Inside the box there was a pregnancy test which showed pregnant written on it.

Chris eyes widened "Really?" He asked.

Sharon eyes were moist already, was he ready? They talked about it. He always said he want children but does he now?

"Oh my god." He said taking her face into his palms.

"Are you happy?" She whispered as tears rolled down her cheeks.

"Happy?Are you kidding me? I am more than Happy. I am on cloud nine. Thankyou so much." He said kissing her. Just a image of little girl running all around his house amazed Chris. He was sure the very same day he was going to spoil that child with so much love and adoration.

"I love you."

"I love you more" he said slowly sliding her sweatshirt up and placing feather kisses on her belly. Sharon giggled trying to push him away. "It tickles" she said with very difficulty.

***

It was such a good memory. Yes, Memory that's what it is. And the second time she knew she was carrying again, She had a miscarriage.

A shiver ran through her spine when she thought about it.

"When were you going to tell me about Caleb?" He asked, his voice was strong and his had his palm in so tight fist that his fingers digged into his palm.

"How did you know about Caleb?" She asked her voice shaking as tears rolled down her cheeks.

"Lets keep that aside for sometime, I want my answer Sharon were you ever going to tell me about caleb? Yes or No."

"No" she said in a small voice.

Suddenly he stood up with few curses. "Im done sharon. Im done. Yes, I cheated on you and I am very sorry and guilty about it but that bloody doesn't give you right to hide my children from me."

Sharon sat their silently. While Chris composed himself and sat down. " I want to know my kids. I want to be able to play with them. Take them out. Buy them whatever they want. To help them take bath, to read them bed time stories. I want them to know me. Love me"

Sharon eyes teared, she was sorry for what she did too. But she had to do it.

***

"Do you want to know the gender of the baby? " Doctor asked.

Sharon eyes momentarily met Chris while he squeezed her hand assuringly.

"No. We want it to be a surprise." She said and Chris nodded in agreement.

"Very well then. So, as you can see this is your baby's head and the limbs. The baby is developing perfectly fine. No, worries Mrs. Vanderwood. I will check the baby's heartbeat so that we could all listen"

Sharon could not forget that little heartbeat which was music to her ears. Chris kept on feathering small kisses in her forehead throughout the way home.

That night they were lying on the couch and Sharon suddenly said "I have names for our baby. Do you want to listen?"

"Ofcourse I do." Chris said turning the volume of television down.

"If we are having a baby girl... I want her name to be April. April because...."

"Because April is a cheerful and beautiful month and Our baby would be nothing less than such beautiful month." He completed her. Sharon had a huge grin on her face and nodded her head.

"And if it is a boy..... I'm going to name him Caleb." She said.

"Caleb?!" He asked.

"Caleb. Isn't it your father's middle name?" She asked.

"You want to name our baby after my dad.?!" He asked shocked.

"I do."

"Why?"

"Because your Dad is my child's grandfather and he is already spoiling your baby by bribing baby mommy with her favourite treats." She said giving a bright smile.

"You went to meet him?" He asked.

"Na... He came over yesterday." She said giving him a knowing look.

"So... you want to name him Caleb?" He asked.

"Yes. If you are okay with it." Sharon said but she knew he was elated his son is going to be named after his Dad.

****

"Why Caleb?" He asked.

"Because that's our 1st son." Sharon said while trying to compose herself.

"But you hated me?" He said.

"I...I... couldn't name him anything but that." She said.

They both were silent for few minutes.

"How did you know about Caleb?" She asked.

"Lily. Lily saw a photo of Caleb, you and Chase. She said it was in between some newspapers." He said.

"I hid it before you came. That is the only photo I have of him." She said in a grave tone.

"What? !" Chris asked shocked.

"He had congenital lung disorder. He was 5 days... " she couldn't continue her voice was clogging up.

"He is...." Chris couldn't bring himself to say the words dreading in his mind.

Dead?!

"You can't do this to me Sharon..." his eyes shielded with unshed tears threatening to come out. "You can't tell me...."

"You know I called you three days before my due date... I wanted to tell you that I miscarried one of the triplets we were going to have and I didn't abort my babies. I could never do something even if my life is at stake."

"I didn't recieve any Call." Chris snapped. He couldn't wrap his head around it.

"Oh, you did. You said you don't even wanna talk. That made me hate you even more."

"What the hell are you talking about?"

Sharon narrowed her eyebrows at him "Your mom received the call and then when she asked you if you wanna talk..... you said 'No. I dont want to talk'".

Chris didn't for once knew Sharon called because if he had known he would have come to her way before her, beg his arse off and do what ever it takes to give his children both their parents love.

As of all he remembers from four years ago is when ever her mother used to say was that her friends daughter or her friends cousins daughter and what not.

He knew his mother never liked Sharon but what if she hss anything to do with it? Could she be that evil.? She knew how much Sharon's suddeb disappearance from hospital made him? He was mad for months searching for her.He now knew his Mom has tricked him and he never felt this betrayed.

"Mom" he said with so much venom.

"Believe me Sharon I never knew you called. If I knew I would come running towards you." He pleaded.

Sharon's heart leaped our of her Chest. 'Oh my God, what if Chris is telling truth. What if he never received her calls.'

"Shit. Shit." He cursed slowly.

They both settled for silence.

"Caleb was so pretty just like Chase but he had these little frickles on his face. And looked like April when she was born." She said with a far away look on her face.

Chris smiled a little as his eyes misted with the loss.

"I knew I was being unfair to April and she would hate me for what I did. But I couldn't stay their I was selfish. I would never forgive myself for that. And then also dealing with miscarriage... I was a mess. Momo is my grandmother from my mother's side. I spent my childhood here. She was a very good memory of my childhood. But then I grew up and she remained as a memory until one day I knocked her door asking her to hide me and my baby. Nate's dad told me I miscarried a baby but I have another growing inside of me and I should take care. But it turned out to be I was actually carrying triplets out of which two were still growing inside me. But Caleb couldn't make it. The photo which I hid was taken when they were first handed to me." A lone tear fell down her cheeks. Chris heart went for her. He wanted to hug her and find comfort in her like he used to do. "He couldn't make it." She gulped and Chris couldn't stop his tears as his hands reached for hers across the table.

"Can you take me to his.." Chris asked.

Sharon gave Chris a long look before nodding her head. Chris placed some bills on the table for the coffee he ordered but was left untouched by both of them.

***

The cemetery was a hour drive. Sharon called Mira to check on Chase. While Chris called Lily who said April was taking her afternoon nap.

Sharon lead the way towards a oak tree , he saw a small tombstone with name Caleb Lucas Vanderwood engraved on it.

Sharon knew he was grieving those tears can't be fake. She knew that though Chris came to know that Chase was his son yesterday night... She knew he loved him already. Chris was like that. If that's true why did you believe he fell out of love with you? Her subconscious mocked. She wanted to give Chris some alone time so she stood a ten feet away.

Chris was sitting near the tombstone, "I'm sorry... " he kept repeating.

It took him one and half hour to stabilize himself and get up. He didn't see Sharon anywhere around so he assumed that she must be waiting near the Car.

She was sitting on his Car bonnet. He knew what he wanted and he is going to not only make her listen but agree with him.

"Sharon, I want to be a part of Chase's life and I want you back in April's as well."

Sharon knew this was coming. But this time she realised her mistakes while seeing Chris grieve for jer Child. She thought we never know what's gonna happen. She know it's four years late but she realised she couldn't live like this....feeling like complete bitch for making April motherless and for ripping Chase away from his Father.

"I am going to Newyork tonight. I will be back day after tomorrow. I am going to leave April with you... get to know each other or something. When I'm back we will tell her the truth."

"Would she even want to stay here.. when you are not there.?" Sharon asked.

Chris breathed in relief that she was not objecting like before " I would convince April" he said wondering how the hell is he going to convince her.
