SIBLINGS: Forbidden Love

"I can't stop thinking. I couldn't even concentrate in class" she sighed "you seemed to be thinking too. I have been standing here for like ten seconds before calling you."

"Em, sorry about that I was just lost...in thoughts."

"I know" she bit her lower lip "should we go back to the hospital now?"

Jason scratched his head and grabbed her hand on the table "Anna" he began "what do you think we should do?"

Anna stared at him "we shouldn't be having this discussion here. Let's go to the hospital and then we will return to your hotel room" she suddenly became the older one and Jason nodded before standing up. He helped her up and they both left the canteen.

Jason stopped a cab and they both entered, he gave the address to the hospital before the car drove away. They got to the hospital and met the same nurse in the morning, she smiled to them and ushered them to the doctor's office.

"I still think you should have an ultrasound, you will be happy you did" she smiled to them and they both nodded.

After a brief discussion with the doctor, they agreed for the ultrasound. Anna laid on the bed with her top half open and revealing only her flat stomach, Jason can't believe as he stared at it that a little life was growing in there. Something like gel was rubbed on Anna's tummy and she shivered at it's coldness. The doctor smiled before carrying on with her task "why will you look at that" she said looking at the monitor.

Her words gripped Jason's and Anna's attention and they both looked at the monitor too "can you see it? Your baby" the doctor smiled again.

Jason and Anna creased their brows cause they can't see anything except for a tiny dot "I can't see it" Jason said shaking his head.

The doctor smiled and pointed at the little dot "that's your baby. It hasn't form yet so you can't see anything but that."

"So that proves that she is pregnant?" Jason asked surprised.

"Of course, that's the baby there" the woman chuckled before handing Anna a tissue to wipe her stomach. Jason was dumbstruck and kept staring at the monitor, even though the dot was no longer there. He can't explain the thing that was happening but something was growing in him, happiness. Yes, happiness, he can't believe he just saw his baby, even though it has no shape and is only but a dot. The thought that soon, that same dot will form a head, hands, legs, heart and have his blood was heartwarming, he found himself already looking forward to see the little one.

He looked at Anna and in her eyes, he saw the same joy, she is also expecting the baby. Her eyes for the first since today was shinning. The doctor noticed their growing expectation and chuckled secretly, seeing the baby always took them away from their wild thoughts, it's why she always inform her nurses to always suggest to young adults like them for an ultrasound because once they see their baby, they won't bear to abort it, even if they still insist to, it's only few out of many that does.

After a little counseling from the doctor and things to do, things not do, Jason and Anna left the hospital and returned to the hotel.

Veronica stepped out of her office, it's been a tiring day, and she wants to do nothing but go home, have dinner, take a shower and go to bed. The thought of shower caused her body to tingle with expectation. She walked to the parking lot and got into her car, she closed the door and just in time to hear her phone ringing, she searched her handbag and got it out "hello Sharon."

"Veronica. How are you?"

"I'm okay, you?"

"I'm great. Sorry I didn't turn up for the meeting last week, I was just so busy."

"It's okay, we managed."

"Oh, where are you?"

"On my way home."

"Oh. Benjamin's father had a heart attack again, so we rushed him to the hospital."

"Oh my, that's too bad. Is he feeling better now?"

"Yes, he is getting better, he has even regained consciousness."

"That's good. Well, I wish him quick recovery."

"Thank you. Em, that reminds me, is Anna sick?"

"Anna, sick? No, not that I know of. Why do you ask?"

"Well, I just saw her and Jason leaving the hospital while I was getting down from my car, she looked kind of pale. I left to buy food for George and just saw them now."

Veronica was in shock, now this is not Anita, why will Sharon claim to have seen them too? "Are you sure it was them?"

"Veronica, I have known those kids since they were babies. I will know them anywhere."

Veronica bit her lip "did they see you?"

"I don't think so. Like I told you, I was getting out of my car when I saw them."

"Okay then."

"Do you want me to find out for you what they came to do? Do you think one of them is sick and they don't want you and Sam to know?"

Veronica thought about it, just this morning she had called Jason after Anita called her, she asked him where he was and he claimed he was in school, so how can Sharon have seen them too? Are they really hiding something from her? "Can you do that?"

"Yes, Bernita is working here, don't you remember?"

"Oh that's good, you think you can ask her for me?"

"Sure. I will get back to you when I have done so."

"Okay, thank you. I will be expecting to hear from you."

"Of course no problem" and she hung up.

Veronica stared at her windshield, the first time can be a glitch, the second time too but can the third? Is something really going on between Anna and Jason? Of course not, she shook her immediately, she can't believe she just had that thought. But why will Jason be with Anna? And why would he lie to her that he is in school? Why did they visit the hospital? Is Anna sick or does Jason has a terminal sickness and want to keep it away from her and Sam? She had always known the two confides in each other with their problems before talking to her or Samuel, what could it be this time?

Should she call Jason? No, he will just lie to her again, what of Anna? If they are together, of course she will lie to her too. Well, guess she will just wait for Sharon's call then, but still, she needs to talk to Sam about this. She started the car and changed her destination from home to her husband's workshop, although she was sad to have to miss her highly expected shower but she needs to solve out her children first, after all, they are her first priority.

Veronica stopped in front of Samuel's workshop. She got down from the car and walked into the shop, the sound of a running saw was deafening. She covered her ears and walked closer to the busy man, she knew he won't hear her, so she forgo about calling him and just tapped him instead. Samuel jerked and swirled the saw, causing Veronica to yelp and stagger a few steps backwards.

Samuel saw his wife and removed his working glasses, he turned off the saw and glared at his wife "honey, I have told you times without number, never startle a man with a running saw!"

"I'm sorry, it was just so loud. You can't hear me if I call."

"Try first before concluding. I'm not deaf you know" he dusted off the tiny particles of woods on his body and removed his earplugs before looking at her again, he smiled and pulled her in for a tight hug and then placed a soft kiss on her lips "now tell me, why is the highly respected Mrs Macaulay here, in this dirty workshop?" He grinned.

Veronica spanked his shoulder lightly and smiled "like I'm not your wife" she rolled her eyes.

Samuel smiled and pointed his index finger at her while saying "that you are." He walked into his office and she followed him, she sat on his chair and picked up the cup of coffee on his table "that's already cold" he told her.

She nodded and still sipped from it "where is Mason?"

"I sent him to the Grayson's, there are some works he needs to finish there" he looked at Veronica intently "tell me honey, why are you here?"

"Can't I visit my husband again?" She asked with a raised eyebrow.

Samuel chuckled "if it's like that, then allow me to savour this moment" he approached her and took the coffee cup from her, he dropped it on the desk and lowered his head to kiss her.

"What are you doing?" Veronica mumbled in between the kiss.

"I'm savouring you" Samuel grinned "how long has it been? I can't even remember" he murmured and reached to take off her suit and Veronica grabbed his hands to stop him.

"Nah ah, not here."

"Why not?"

She chuckled shyly "I can't believe after all these years, you haven't stop this lecherous ways of yours."

"How can I when my wife is always so beautiful" he started kissing her again.

Veronica placed a hand on his shoulder to push him away, she then averted her face from his kisses "no, really stop."

"Fine" he stopped but he kept looking at her "now can you tell me why you are here?"

Veronica smiled and kissed him lightly on the lips "I can't fool you can I?"

"Mm mm" he smiled shaking his head "now tell me."
