GOOD NEWS

They've been back from vacation for two weeks now. Ember began to feel ill in the early morning. She touched her forehead; it felt hot. Am I having a fever? My whole body is not feeling well. Jayden notices that Ember looks weak.

"Ember, are you okay? Why do you look so weak?"

"I think I have a fever."

"Fever?"

With a worried face, Jayden approached Ember and touched her forehead.

"Hmm... You have a little fever. Just stay home and rest. You don't have to go to work today. I have to get to work right away because there are important matters to attend to. I'll be back at noon. Take good care of yourself."

Jayden said as he kissed Ember on the cheek and left for work. Camilla arrived around 10 a.m. at the mansion and entered Ember and Jayden's room with a worried expression.

"Are you all right, Ember? Jayden told me you were sick."

"I just have a fever. Maybe because I got rained on a few days ago, and who is she?"

Ember noticed there was a woman standing next to Camilla with shoulder-length black hair and brown eyes.

"I brought a doctor here. Doctor Patricia came to treat you. She's a special doctor for the Braxton's."

"M-Mom, I'm not seriously ill. I don't think I need a doctor."

"It's okay dear, you should be treated as well."

"Ember, allow me to examine your body."

Patricia said with a smile, and then Camilla left the room, leaving them both. Patricia came over to Ember and took her temperature.

"37.9 degrees Celsius. When was the last time you had your period?"

"Last month, hmm... I think I'm a week late. I haven't had my period yet."

"Then we should check. Perhaps you're pregnant."

"Ehh... impossible. This has happened to me more than once."

"It's fine, let's just check."

Patricia told her while handing out pregnancy tests. She went to the toilet, where she took her urine and dripped a little on the pregnancy test. Then she gave it to Patricia and sat on the bed. Ember didn't dare to look at the pregnancy test result. She's hoping she's pregnant, but she's also scared that she'll be disappointed. So she thinks better of someone else seeing the result. Patricia examined the pregnancy test and stated, "I think you're pregnant. Yes, you are pregnant."

Ember was shocked upon hearing Patricia's words.

"Huh! Are you kidding me? Are you sure?"

"Confirm it for yourself."

Patricia smiled as she handed over the pregnancy test. Ember took the pregnancy test and peered a little slowly. Her eyes widened when she noticed the two lines.

"T-There are two lines. There are two lines."

"Yes, two lines, it means you're pregnant. I calculated that you are now 5 weeks pregnant."

"I'm pregnant... I'll become a mom."

Ember smiled as she clutched her tummy. She was so happy. Camilla enters the room with Jayden. Ember was surprised to see Jayden had returned home. Jayden came up to her and sat with her on the bed, holding her hand.

"Ember, how do you feel? Do you feel better?"

"Yes, I'm fine. Why did you come back early? Aren't you busy?"

"I'm worried about you. That's why I came back early."

Patricia looks at both of them with a smile. "You don't want to tell him about that?"

"Hmm... Tell me about what?"

"I have good news. I'm... I'm pregnant."

Jayden and Camilla were shocked to hear Ember's words.

"Pregnant? Are you pregnant? This is very good news."

Camilla expressed her feelings happily. Jayden still sat in silence in shock. Ember noticed Jayden's reaction. She was worried if Jayden was unhappy with the news.

"Jayden, why are you silent? Aren't you happy?"

"Jayden! Why don't you say something? You're going to be a father." Camilla also spoke up after seeing Jayden's reaction.

Jayden held Ember's hand and said, "I'm... I'm... so happy and I don't know what to say. I am very happy. We will be parents. We will have a child together.

I'm... I'm speechless."

Jayden's face seemed to be about to cry. Ember was happy to see Jayden's reaction. She thought Jayden was unhappy about the news.

"Oh Jayden, I have to tell your dad about this good news. He really wants to be a grandfather. I'm sure he'll be happy to hear this good news."

"Ember, I know you're happy, but you're still in the early stages. You have to be careful and take care of your health, okay? Don't forget to come to the hospital for an appointment. "

"Thank you, doctor."

"Just call me Patricia. Then, I'll excuse myself."

Camilla also wants to leave after Patricia leaves the mansion.

"I'm sorry, but I have to go. I want to tell your father about this good news. Please look after yourself, okay?"

After Camilla left, Jayden hugged Ember because he was happy with the good news.

"I'm not dreaming, am I?"

"No, you aren't. We'll become parents."

Jayden let go of his hug and looked her in the eyes.

"Do you think our child is a boy or a girl?"

"I'm not sure. But it doesn't matter whether it's a boy or a girl; what matters is that our child is healthy."

"You're right, I can't wait to see our child."

While they were in their conversation, Ember's phone rang. She reached for it. She looks at her mobile phone screen; it's Damian.

"It's Papa, called."

"Pick up your phone."

"Hello, Papa..."

"Ember, I found out you're pregnant. Is that true?"

"Yes, papa. My pregnancy is only 5 weeks."

"Oh, this is great news. I'm going to be a grandfather. Ember, take care of yourself. You can't do heavy work. You're still early in pregnancy. You need to be careful, okay?"

"Okay, you don't have to worry, papa."

"Ember, I will contact you later. Right now I'm still working."

"All right, papa, bye-bye."

Then they hang up the call, and Jayden's face beams with a happy reaction.

"It must have been my mom who told your papa."

"Yeah, I think so as well. She acts so fast."

Xander visits the mansion late at night. Xander approached Jayden, who was sitting in the living room.

"Master, do you want to see me?"

"Yes, I have good news. I will be a father."

"Congratulations, master, this is good news. Did your parents already know about this?"

"Yes, they know."

Ember goes to the living room to see Jayden. When Xander saw her coming, he also congratulated her.

"Congratulations on your pregnancy, Ember."

"Oh, thank you, Xander."

Ember responded cheerfully, and at the same time, the sound of a car coming up was heard.

"Ember... Ember... where are you?"

Aubrey called from outside the mansion. They went outside after hearing Aubrey's voice. Ember frowns, looking at Aubrey. She seemed unsteady.

"Aubrey, what's the matter? Wait, are you drunk?"

"Ember, you're going to be a mother. Congratulations. I'm happy to be an aunt. Congratulations to you as well, Jayden."

Aubrey expressed her thoughts and feelings happily. Jayden didn't say anything but a slight smile. Xander cast his gaze elsewhere. Ember inquired because she was concerned to see Aubrey drunk.

"Aubrey, why are you drinking? I know you won't drink for no reason."

"Oh yeah, you're right, I'm celebrating."

"What are you celebrating?"

"Do you remember, Jasper?"

"Jasper? Oh, that guy who always says he adores you. What's the matter with him?"

"Today, he proposed to me."

They were all stunned. Xander could feel the pain in his heart. He was already trying to forget about Aubrey. But he was hurt after hearing a man propose to her. Propose? Will she get married? No, that wasn't my problem. I shouldn't interfere with her life. It's fine with whoever she wants to marry.

"Will you accept his proposal?" There was a worried look on Ember's face when she asked Aubrey.

"I'll think about it. He's had a crush on me for a long time. Maybe I can learn to accept him. Just like you and Jayden."

"Don't you have someone you love?"Jayden asked solemnly, believing it was better for her to choose if there was still someone she wished to marry.

"What's the point if I love someone but he doesn't love me?"

"I don't know if you're in love with someone. Who is it that you have feelings for?"

She was curious, and she feels guilty because she was not with her during Aubrey's hard time with her feelings.

"Just forget about it. Perhaps we are fated to meet but not to be together."

Xander feels uneasy after he hears that Aubrey said that. So she's been in love with someone all this time. Who is that person? No! It doesn't matter; that's not my problem. I'll keep forgetting about her. I'll forget about her no matter what. Xander expressed his feelings from the bottom of his heart.

"I came to congratulate you. So, I'll go home first. You rest until you feel well and take good care of yourself. Allow me to handle the shop during your absence."

"I'm sorry for making your life difficult, Aubrey. Aubrey, you're drunk. You can't drive. It's dangerous."

"It's fine. I'll see you again. Don't worry about me. I would not have arrived here if I was drunk. See you soon, Ember."

Aubrey got inside the car and drove away, leaving them. Ember was really concerned about Aubrey.

"She's unhappy. I can tell she's not happy. She's only pretending to be happy. What is it that makes her unhappy?"

"My wife, you're overthinking it. Stop thinking negatively, okay?"

"No, I'm not. She's a cheerful woman. All this time, such issues will not cause her to falter. I'm sure something is bothering her."

"Ember, you're pregnant. Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Aubrey, I believe she doesn't want you to be concerned about her too."

Jayden really tries to calm Ember, even though he also noticed Aubrey was different today. Ember just nodded and sighed as she heard Jayden's words.

"I'm leaving, Master. Today I'm a bit tired."

Xander also appears to be lacking energy. He started to not understand himself. He's not sure what he truly wants deep inside his heart.

"All right, take some rest."

Jayden replied, and he kept watching Xander walk because he sensed something was wrong with him because he also looked different than usual.
