It's been rough for everyone but it can only get better, good thing was, Kelvin and I have been on the best terms and we were starting to feel like a family. For some reason, that bitch didn't matter to me anymore, I felt at ease. Maybe because the kids now considered me their mother or because Kelvin stopped giving her audience, whatever it was, everything was good.

Even Fiona was getting married, an indication that anyone can find peace and happiness. The one person I wish that for the most was Khloe considering everything she had been through.

I watched the kids fight over a toy and smiled to myself feeling alive.

"Let your bother have his car, you have yours don't you?" I told Jade who suddenly looked like she was going to cry.

"But I want his" she whined, Jadon held on to his car not wanting to let go.

"Please, just play with yours" I told her but she shook her head no. It was staring to leave me confused.

"Jason....."

"No she has hers" he said quickly not allowing me finish. This must be the kind of trouble our parents go through, it's difficult.

"You see, girl likes taking things from boys, and your sister here is just being a girl.... guess what you have to be? A man! Be a man and let go Jason". As worried as I was that it wouldn't work out, it did.

He slowly let go of his car and went for his sister's.

"I'm just gonna be a man and let you have mine". I heard him tell Jade who wasn't interested in whatever he had to say, just the toy car.

I had to meet with Khloe and Hailey today at the spa and Kelvin was taking forever with Jaime at wherever they went, it was driving me crazy. He wouldn't pick his calls.

Just as I began to worry even more, he walked in with the manwhore he calls best friend.

"What happened all day?" I asked filled with worry and frustration.

"Left my phone in the car babe. I'm sorry I'm late". He said and I sighed.

"I have to leave now!" I told him planting a kiss on his cheek, waved Jamie and the kids bye. I could hear Jason tell his dad how he was being a man and allowing Jade play with his toy which made me smile as I walked out.

The ladies were supposed to be at the spa now but here I was waiting on them and none of them was picking up. Why was everyone being so annoying for real, I hate it when people don't pick up their calls.

I tried calling Hailey again and finally she picked up.

"Hello" it was Jade's voice. What was Jade doing with Hailey's phone, I couldn't help but wonder why Jade was picking her call, was Hailey at my house?

"Jade?" I asked to be sure

"Mummy! Hailey is upstairs with dad, where are you?". She asked me but all I could process was "upstairs with daddy". Hailey?

"I'm on my way baby, is it just Hailey?" I asked to be sure because I couldn't help but worry. I don't trust Hailey with men.

"No, Khloe, Hailey, Jamie, Will, Chris, daddy and someone I don't know.... Uhm Riiiii.... I don't know". She told me.

Why was everyone at my home? I increased my speed as I drove home. If Khloe and Will was there does that mean they made up? And Richard?

I couldn't wait to get home. On getting it home, it was pitch dark, no sound was made, it looked empty. Did they all leave?

"Jade? Jason? Kelvin?....." this was getting scary. I've watched too many horror movies for my own good.

The light came on and all I could see was a huge banner that says "Would you marry me?" Insane! Jason appeared with a pretty ring on his hand, I couldn't breathe was. I was overfilled with joy!

"Where is your daddy?" I asked him and Kelvin appears too, then went on his knees. It was then everyone came out from hiding! I felt loved.

"I know this is way too late and you've expected it for long. On this day, I apologize for everything and ask you to be my Diamond". This wasn't Kelvin like but okay, it was nice.

"Of course baby" I replied with so much happiness. They all yelled with Jaime taking video of the event. It was so unexpected and the surprise...... it's no wonder everyone had been acting weird.

He got up and gave me a kiss which immediately ended because of the kids.

"Well.... since we are all surprising each other, I've got my own surprise!" I announced gaining everyone's attention.

"I was going to tell the ladies during spa talks but since they could keep secrets from me, I'm glad that did not happen". I added.

"It'll ruin the surprise, I really wanted to tell you" Khloe said in her defense with Hailey nodding as well.

"I'm glad I did not ruin my surprise by telling you as well". I replied. I could see the apologetic look they passed on with the men attentive to listen.

Richard was here, I guess they really did makeup after all.

"Well...... it so happens that...." I said slowly raiding their anticipation. "Kelvin is going to be on a father of three". I said quickly.

"You are pregnant?" Kelvin asked utterly surprised.

"We are baby!" I replied. The room was filled with screams and there was so much to celebrate while I had so many questions to ask, especially Hailey but for now, I decided to enjoy the night.

My ring was shining and I wouldn't stop flashing them.

"Looks like I'm the only one without a ring here" Hailey said while secretly glancing at Chris but some of us did notice.

"I don't have a ring either". Jade cried out making us all laugh. Baby girl still got a long long way to go.
