Is Emily Pregnant?

Jack arrived expecting to see Changying being fussed over by the three women but instead was let into the house by a worried looking Changying before he had even knocked. She showed him through to the living room where Emily reclined on the couch sleeping lightly. Confused he looked at the other two women, and Carmen motioned him from the room.

"She got really weak and tired suddenly. Then I noticed a few tell-tale signs. I think she is pregnant again," Carmen said concern in her voice.

"Ben wouldn't do that. The risks are too high after last time," Jack said shaking his head.

"I don't think he knows, and you know how desperate she was to give him that second son. Have you ever seen her sleep in the middle of the day?" Carmen asked.

"Alright let me examine her," Jack agreed and went back into the living room placing his bag beside the couch.

"Hey Emily, it's Jack," he smiled placing a pressure cuff about her upper arm.

"They shouldn't have bothered you. I just didn't sleep well last night," Emily went to sit up.

"Well I'm here now so we may as well check you out," Jack helped her to sit before taking her blood pressure. "It's a little high for someone who just woke up from a nap."

"Honestly, I am perfectly healthy, now if you will excuse me, I need to use the bathroom to freshen up a little.

"Excellent, I'd love a sample," he said fishing a small sterile jar out of his bag. "Before you argue," he whispered seeing the look on her face. "If you don't give me a sample I will stay until Ben gets home and you can explain why I am here to him."

Taking the jar with a sigh of resignation she walked out of the room, with Jack following behind her.

"Use the ensuite it will be easier to examine you in your room," Jack suggested. "Ladies if you will excuse us. Actually, why don't you girls go home I can take it from here? "

"I'll stay if you can drive Bianca home, Changying," Carmen said. "I'll let you both know what happens."

"Of course," Changying agreed readily feeling like she didn't quite belong in this family scene.

"I'll get the nanny to pick up your kids with mine. They can come for dinner with us," Bianca agreed, offering what she could to ease the worry on Carmen's face.

"Thanks you're the best," She smiled and went into the kitchen. "I start bagging this lot up so it will be done for the kids by tomorrow." It was less than an hour later when Ben burst through the front door and raced through the house finding Carmen in the kitchen. "Bedroom," she squeaked in surprise and pointed upstairs.

Ben's arrival was all the answer she needed. She would stay and take Ben and Emily's children over to Bianca and Jules house as well. She picked up her phone to make the arrangements. They were going to need help tonight,
