Harmonica stared at her mother like she had gained an extra head. ''Mom this is not the time for jokes please.'' She said, wiping her hands against her tear stricken face.
''Moni I am not joking. You are carrying a life inside of you. You are carrying my grandchild. '' Grace said, smiling widely at her.
Harmonica pried her mother's hands away from hers before covering her face.
She couldn't even handle herself properly, how was she supposed to handle a child?!
A thought quickly passed through her head and she gasped, smiling widely. She looked around as if In search for something.
''Moni? Are you looking for something?'' Grace asked, staring at her weirdly. She was starting to believe that her daughter had developed a brain injury after that fall.
''My phone.'' Harmonical replied, an excited look still on her face.
''Don't tell me….'' Grace trailed, anger passing her features. ''Are you planning on calling Lucas?!'' She asked angrily, staring at her daughter who was now staring at her angrily.
''Yes! He needs to know that I am pregnant with his child. Mom you don't get it. If he knows, we would get back together. Just give me my phone!'' Harmonica cried in desperation.
Grace wanted to argue, to shake some sense into her daughter. But the doctor's warning still echoed in her mind. 'She is not allowed to be stressed in any way. The baby in her belly is smaller than a three month old baby.'
Swallowing her frustration, Grace reached into her purse and quietly handed over the phone. She watched as Harmonica snatched it quickly, her fingers trembling as she dialed Lucas's number.
Voicemail.
She tried again. Still voicemail.
One more time. Nothing.
Harmonica chuckled bitterly. ''He might be busy.'' She said more to herself than to her mother who just shook her head positively despite her facial expression saying otherwise.
''Go to sleep moni. You've had enough for one day.'' Grace said, pulling the covers over harmonica's body.
Harmonica nodded, closing her eyes until she heard the receding sound of her mother's foot before she opened them again. Tears fell uncontrollably as she remembered that Rita was back.
Lucas must be dining with her while she was here in the hospital room, pregnant with his child.
She had to let him know!
His father had made her promise to always stick by him despite his cold font. She couldn't believe she signed the divorce papers without putting up a fight.
She quickly yanked the covers off, grabbed her phone and purse and exited the hospital.
She booked a cab straight to the stone the mansion.
When she got to the gates, it was locked.
She tried inputting the passcode but it still didn't work. After several failed attempts, she rammed her hands against the metal gates, calling out for Lucas desperately.
''What are you doing here?''
Harmonica froze, then turned slowly to find Rita cladded in a skimpy dress and clutching a gold purse, smirking at her.
''Don't tell me you're here to see Lucas?'' Rita sneered, glaring iceberg at her. ''If I remembered correctly, he is no longer your husband. And this—'' She gestured around dramatically. ''—Is no longer your home. So leave.''
She brushed past Harmonica and walked up the gate. With a smug glance, she inputted the code and it made a chiming sound before opening.
She chuckled seeing Harmonica's stunned expression before swaying her hips while walking into the mansion but paused when she heard Harmonica's next words.
''I'm pregnant.'' Harmonica shouted, the words stopping Rita in her tracks. ''I'm pregnant with his child. Once he finds out about that, he won't want to be with you anymore.'' Harmonica continued.
''Is that so….?'' Rita drawled, an hysterical laughter escaping her lips.
''Well… why don't you wait out there for him. He would be back soon.'' She said, before locking the gates and going in.
Harmonica had an internal turmoil after that. Was Rita really going to let her talk to Lucas without any hitch?
She wasn't even scared by her revelation of being pregnant. Harmonica suddenly started to feel nervous.
She sat at the pavement, waiting for Lucas car to come in.
Two hours later, it was already starting to feel cold. She rubbed her palms together while blowing hot air with her mouth.
''Daddy is still not home. We are going to freeze to death.'' She said, rubbing at her belly in circular motion.
She smiled as she felt her little baby bump. ''I'll call you berry.''
While talking to her little berry, she heard the sound of car coming in and she quickly got up, waving her hands at Lucas's black Mercedes Benz hoping he would see her.
She watched the car come to a halt and Lucas stepped out, frowning.
He still looked as charming as ever. And Harmonica wished things could just go back to the way they were. Even though Lucas never showed her love, he never showed her hatred either.
Right now, all she could see was the hatred he had for her.
''Why are you here?!'' He asked, staring at her angrily.
Before she could reply, he pulled his phone out of his pocket and dialed a number. ''Didn't I tell you not to let strangers in?!'' He shouted over the phone.
The reciever shivered. ''Sir ma'am Rita said I would be in trouble if I don't let her in.'' The estate gateman said hurriedly.
''I'm talking about my ex-wife you dummy! You're are fired!'' Lucas shouted before hanging up the phone, not waiting for the guard's response.
Harmonica shivered, staring at his anger filled eyes. He didn't look a bit like the man she loved. He looked…..different.
''I'm really sorry if my presence here has offended you. I just wanted you to know that I'm pregnant.'' She said, her hand still resting on her little berry while staring at Lucas with hope swimming in her eyes.
Lucas paused, eyeing her belly before bursting out in a series of laughter.
''Luke I'm serious. This is not a joke, I'm pregnant.'' Harmonica said anxiously, taking his hands and resting it on her stomach.
She watched as his facial expression softened for a bit before quickly hardening. He pulled away from her, his eyes bloodshot as he stared at her angrily. ''Harmonica, you are such a slut!''
''What? What are you saying?'' Harmonica asked, shocked by his choice of words. She tried to get closer to him but he backed away, staring at her with irritation.
''You think I don't know you've been sleeping around with my friend?! The guts of you to call this bastard my child.''
