Brian lelt a massive relief wash over him and Immediately texted Janice for advice. He was convinced that Jessica’s recent cold shoulder towards Madeline had everything to do with her pregnancy hormones

After all, Jessica had menteerd Madeline from the art and always looked out for her.

Jessica was unaware that Brian was determined to win her back and that he assumed her hustration with him and their son stemmed solely from hormonal changes.

“Ugh!” She stretched as she got up, then checked the time. It was 5:10 PM. There was only half an hour left until it was time to get off work. She had finished most of her non urgent tasks,

Just as she debated whether to stay late, her phone rang. It was Jacob’s kids‘ smartwatch–using her secondary SIM card. Usually, he catted from his phone. Jessica hesitated before answering.

“Mom, when are you coming home? Grandma wants to know what you want for dinner.” Jacob’s excitement practically jumped through the phone.

Frowning, Jessica asked sharply, “Who dropped you off there?” She’d assumed Brian had sent him.

“…I missed Grandma’s cooking so I called and asked her to pick me up.” Sensing Jessica’s imitation, Jacob quickly made up an excuse

That explanation silenced Jessica. Of course Stella wouldn’t say no if Jacob wanted her home–cooked meals.

After a beat,

“Tell Grandma I’m working late.”

“Okay”

“Jacob, don’t give Grandma and Grandpa any trouble,” Jessica added, still uneasy

“I’m behaving” Jacob protested, hurt. His grandparents adored him, after all.

With nothing left to say, Jessica ended the call.

Meanwhile, at Hartdale International Bilingual School, Madeline rushed to the school gate high–flyer

Her good looks immediately drew stares from onlookers, but she ignored them, craning her neck to search the crowd.

As the last straggling students filtered out, Jacob was nowhere to be seen.

“He was pick

“You ungrateful little bastard!” Madeline fumed as he slammed the car door shut. They’d made plans that morning, and now he’d ditched her without a

The truth was, Jacob was acting on a whim. Aber Brian stayed out all night, Jacob couldn’t stop wondering if his parents were together. Thoughts of Jessica occupied him all day at school.

Just before dismissal, he called the number Stella had given him. The moment Stella heard his request, she promised to come get him right away.

Meanwhile, Brian was gearing up to smooth things over with Jessica. When he heard Jacob had gone to Grant Manor, he chuckled.

He was more certain than ever that divorce was off the table. Between Jessica’s pregnancy Dereck, there was no way they were splitting up

At Grant Manor, Jacob blinked back tears and scurried over to tell Stella that Jessica was stuck at work and wouldn’t make it home for dinner.

“Any cravings? I’ll have May whip something up.”

After hanging up, Jessica stared blankly at her desk for a moment before tidying it up.

“Ms. Grant, are you leaving?” As she stepped out, Carrie flashed a smile from behind her cleaning cart. The hallway floors sparkled, polished to a mirror- like finish.

to hard!

Jessica thought, ‘She works so

Jessica realized she always caught Carrie mopping or dusting out there. A raise was definitely in order.

At Grant Manor, Jessica found Jacob and Dereck knee–deep in a building block frenzy. Dereck had gone all out, ordering a mountain of new boys delivered just for the occasion.

“Hey, Dad.” Jessica tossed the greeting over her shoulder. Before Jacob could scramble to meet her, she headed straight upstairs to shower and change “Mom!” Jacob’s face fell. Dereck pulled him aside with a quick word of comfort.

By the time Jessica came back down, Stella was elbow–deep in cooking, apron tied snugly around her waist. Jacob hovered nearby, spearing chunks of fruit with a fork and offering them up like peace offerings.

Jacob said, “Grandma, you must be exhausted. Here, have some coffee. Try this apple. It’s super juicy! Grandmal”

Since buttering up Jessica hadn’t worked, Jacob switched Tactics. Before long, the plate was empty, and the fruit vanished down Stella’s throat

“Alright, Jacob. Let Grandma eat on her own, okay? Jessica intervened. Stella had been too polite to refuse and was clearly stuffed.

642.0

“Oops.” Jacob finally caught on, realizing he’d gone overboard. “Don’t worry, sweetie. I loved every bite!” Stella’s reassurance brought the smile back to Jacob’s face.

Outside, Brian’s car idled at the curb. He decided to give them space–this was the perfect chance for Jéssica and Jacob to patch things up. Sure, Jacob’s recent behavior and words had stung Jessica, but family squabbles never lasted long.

Back inside, Stella laid out a feast. As they dug in, Jacob’s gooly kid comments had Stella and Dereck in stitches.

Then, out of the blue, he leaned forward “Mom, is there a baby in your tummy?” He craned his neck, eyes fixed on her midsection.
