Sebastian was glad who it all turned out, Gloria was safe and sound. Those who took her were being arrested, and all will be well. At least he hoped, he parked the car in front of the house. When his phone buzzed. He looked at it and it was a message from Adam. Or not so much as a message, rather a picture of a brown ball of fur. It was a cute picture, and he hoped that this dog was able to help Gloria with what she needs. He got out of the car and entered the house.

"Hello darling." He said, while still looking at his phone. "Just got a message from Adam, Gloria has found a brown ball of fluff to be her support animal. Come and look, it is really adoreble." But Aemilia didn't reply, was he mistaken and was she not at home. He looked up and to his shock his shark-in-law was sitting on the sofa. Aemilia had tears in her eyes, but she didn't look sad. No she looked rather angry. "I am so sorry, didn't know that you had company. Madam, nice to see you here. Can I offer you something to drink?" But the woman stood up, and looked at him as if he was a bug. He wanted to roll his eyes, he knew that this day would come and here it was. Time to dust off that spine of his, but she went off on him before he even could open his mouth.

"You second rate..."

"Mom." Aemilia snapped at her. "This is not his fault, it is just now that I am living full time with Kitty." Sebastian looked confused, what was going on here? What was this about his cat, didn't they visit this topic the last time they fought? "But then again it is not his fault that you lied to me all my life!" Sebastian was taking at back, what was this all about? "You lied, bribed Doctor whatshisname, to lie to me as well. And why because you didn't want me to get a pet?" Sebastian looked shocked, Aemilia focussed now on him. "I wanted to switch doctors for a while, but never got the time or lacked the courage to do it. But I brought up the pet thing with, Clive's wife, and she found it strange that I was able to live with Kitty even when I am on medication. So I got myself tested, and what do you know, I am not allergic at all. There is not even being a record from me that said I was tested for an allergy when I was a baby." Sebastian narrowed his eyes.

"Wait a second, you are not allergic to animals" He asked and she shook her head. "But what the hell did you take all this time. You have being taken medication ever since you lived here?" Now he was really concerned, those types of medication did have side effects, he looked it up after she had menaced her allergy.

"Placebo's!" Aemilia said, "Or at least I hope that they were?" She focused her attention towards her mother. "Otherwise it might be some kind of drug to do God knows what!" Her mother got red in the face.

"I will not allow that you have children with this lower class man. My grandchildren are not going to live inside a house like this!" Her mother screamed.

"What did you give my wife!" Sebastian lost it. He was afraid that she had poisoned Aemilia. Shark-in-law looked smug. Sebastian looked at Aemilia. "Grab the meds, I am brining you to the hospital right now." At that point her father walked inside the house.

"Why are you bringing my daughter to the hospital?" He asked.

"Your soon-to-be ex, lied about Aemilia's allergy and all the time she has being on some kind of drug, we do not know what it those. But shark-in-law just said something about us not being able to have kids." Richard became pale and grabbed his soon-to-be ex-wife by the arm.

"I hope for you that our daughter is fine." He growled. This was the first time Sebastian saw him this angry. Which he completely understood, he was angry as well. And maybe even that was an understatement, but he was glad that he had some back-up. Richard worked his soon-to-be ex-wife out of the house, and came back into the room. At the same time Aemilia came back.

"Dad?" She asked.

"I will explain later, we have to go and yes I am coming with you." He said. Aemilia nodded and all of them left the house.

*******

Sebastian didn't know what was worse, to explain the nurse and then the doctor what was going on. Or the endless waiting, that followed. Aemilia was taken away for a shitload of tests. Richard has contacted his lawyer and the authorities which was also done by the hospital. What kind of joke was this, this could only be a joke right? Richard landed in the uncomfortable seat next to him.

"Well that was fun." He sighed. "It will not take long before the police and my lawyer are here. John will also represent you and will collab with your own lawyer in the morning." Sebastian nodded, why didn't he think of contacting his lawyer? He was of course too worried about Aemilia, and there was no doubt in his mind that Richard saw this as well. Hence, contacting his own lawyer, making sure that everything is set up for him as well. "I can't believe that this is happening. My princess is being tested because she got poisoned by her own mother." Sebastian wanted to say that his family dynamic was not much better and is his brother had thought about something similar he would have done it, with the blessing of their father. But this was not the time nor place to say stuff like this. Two officers entered the waiting room, together with a man in a very nice and expensive suite. The man in the suite gave Richard a hand.

"I am John Sawyer, and I will represent your father-in-law and you mister Coleville." John Sawyer said. Sebastian could only nod.

"Can we do it here? I want to be here, when there is news about my wife." He said, the officers nodded. The waiting room was empty except for them. The officers sat down, grabbed their notebooks and started to ask questions. And Sebastian answered them, while making eye contact with John before answering them. Knowing that he had nothing to hide here. The officers then turned towards Richard, who of course went into much deeper. He was married to the woman who did this, Richard of course blamed himself for being not as much involved in his daughter's life and that he was a fool for believing his wife when she told him that their daughter was allergic to animals. He himself was planning of giving her a kitten that Christmas. But that plan became void, when he heard that news. Then he told them something Sebastian didn't expect.

"My wife had an affair with my best friend, Micheal Knight. Which I found out to day, it started around the period that Aemilia was 'diagnosed'. I believe that Micheal spilled the beans about the kitten idea." Richard sighed. "Micheal Knight is also the one who supplied Aemilia with her medication after she moved in with Sebastian. I do not know if he knew what kind of drugs they were, but you should ask him that." The officer nodded.

"Mister Coleville and Mister Quince, thank the both of you for your time. I am so sorry we needed to do this." The officer said, but Richard raise his hand up.

"Officer, you only did your job, there is nothing more we can ask for." Richard said, and both officers left. John Sawyer staid with Richard, talking about all kind of maneuvers they can pull in court. "We signed a prenup before we married, all my money stayed mine and all her money stayed hers. I am willing to give her the house, but nothing more than that." This was not the kind of discussion Sebastian wanted to hear, but it was a nice distraction. That was probably why the two men talked about it here and now. John was about to say something to Richard about that, but that is when the doctor came in.

"Mister Coleville, and mister Quince. Aemilia is done with her tests, the drugs are being tested and we are still not sure what they are. But we believe that they are not regular medication, they are no placebos. We informed the police of this as well, Aemilia is being tested for all kind of things, with the main focus her productive organs." The doctor took a deep breath. "Well, Aemilia told me what her mother said about her not being able to have children with you, mister Coleville. And I have to say if those pills were trying to prevent that, well then her plan has failed." Sebastian frowned and Richard put his hand over his mouth. "Congratulations, mister Coleville. You are about to become a father." Sebastian's eyes grew and he felt a little wobbly on his feet. Aemilia was pregnant, they were going to have a baby. They were not ready for that, who ever is ready for that. He looked at Richard, who was supporting him. The first thing that came to mind was shark-in-law.

"Mister Sawyer, when you speak with my lawyer. Tell them that I want a size and desist letter drawn up, ext to it a protective order against shark-in-law and this mister Knight. I will be a father and I will protect my child." John nodded and Sebastian looked at the doctor. "May I see my wife?"

*****

Aemilia lay in a hospital bed, completely wired in. A doctor was going over her belly, next to the bed stood a monitor showing the echo from the child. It was not big, but it was their baby. He softly sat down next to her, tears were streaming down his cheek. This was not the first echo he had seen, the first time he had seen one was from Cindy. But this was different, this time it was his child. It was his baby.

"I would say that you are 4 to 5 weeks, Mrs. Coleville." The female doctor said. "Lucky that those pills didn't mess this part up." The doctor now looked at him and smiled. "We of course can not see the gender of the baby."

"Is it healthy?" He asked, now Aemilia looked at him shocked. But hat quickly gave way to a soft smile. "Gender is something for the child to decide, but health is the most important factor." The doctor nodded and smiled.

"Heart rate of both mother and the baby are good. We are going to keep an eye on the both of you." That last part she was pointed at Aemilia. "And of course we are going to inform you about those pills." Aemilia took his hand and sighed.

"Thank you all, for your care." She said. The doctor stood up and started to pack up the machine. Aemilia focused on him. "You are going to be a dad, for real this time." He took her hand and brought it towards his lips for a small kiss.

"You are going to be a mother. And d not worry about yours I have taken care of it." Sebastian said. She nodded and sighed,

"I didn't expect it any other way. But good, let me see that ball of fur."
