“Seriously, I am not a fairy godmother”. she said, and Jayden chuckled.

“Fine! What do you want?”.

” Good, my first wish is for you to start sleeping in my room from now on”. he said and stare surprisingly at him.

“What? What happened to my room?”. she frowned.

” Is just a week”.

“Fine!”.

“How is my baby doing, Doctor?” She asked as they seated in the office.

“Your baby is in perfect shape and healthy, try to consume enough whole fruits, veggies, whole grains, protein, and fat-free dairy, ok?”. he said smiling.

” Sure, I will, thank you”.

“You are welcome, don’t do things that will stress you, especially Jayden, don’t let him annoy you”. he said jokingly, and Maya chuckled.

” Sure, I will be on my way now”. she stood up to leave.

“Do, take care of yourself”.

” I will, thank you”. she said and left, she came out from the hospital building to stop a cab, and suddenly, a familiar car parked in front of her, she sighs knowing fully well who it is.

“Hi”. Lucas said as he came down from his car, standing in front of her.” what are you doing here? Are you sick?”.

“Why are you here? Why are you stalking me?”.

” I am not, I was just passing by and I saw you hailing for a cab, I can drop you to where you are going”

“No thanks, I don’t need your help”. she said coldly.

” You are still angry, what will I do to have you forgive me?”.he asked.

“I am not angry with you, is just that I don’t want to be seen with you”.

” So, you think I am bad?”.

“I don’t know, please I will like to leave”. she tries to walk, but Lucas stops her.

” Hold on, did Jayden tell you that I am bad? Did he say something to scare you away from me?”.

“Why will he do that? he is not the reason why I keep pushing you away, I really don’t want to get involved between you two, and I don’t care to know whatever grudges you two have against each other, I just don’t want to get involved”. she said and halt for a cab, it stops and she left to enter and they zoom off, Lucas let out a sigh and left for his car and zoom off.

“He won’t let me eat what I want “. Maya said and Jayden stare confusedly at her and sigh.

” Really? What do you want to eat?”.

“Ice Cream, he won’t let me have a little of it”. she sniffs and Mrs. Williams stares hard at Jayden.

“I was only trying–“.

” Don’t try anything”. she cut him short.” give her the ice cream now”.

“But mom, she can’t eat what she caved for”.

” Who told you that? Are you a doctor? Let her have what she wants, “.she said and Jayden sigh tiredly.

” Fine!”. he took a plate and pour a little ice cream on the plate.

“That won’t be enough”. Maya said.

” Do what she told you”. she said and Jayden sighs and added more to it until she was satisfied with it. “Is there anything else you want?”.

” Yes, I will need the fruit salad too”.Maya said and Jayden stare surprisedly at her.

“I thought you said you don’t want the fruit salad”. he said
