"He is just a child!", I almost shout, my blood boiling at her ignorance. "You shouldn't have told him all these bullshit! So that's what you people do huh? Gossip about people's life in the kitchen!"

The other maids look down in shame but Martha just shrugs.

"Come on, I did him favor", she grins. "Once your own child is here, you are going to start treating that boy like thrash...."

"Shut your fucking mouth you bitch", I slap her and without giving her time to react, I start pulling her outside the kichen by her hair.

"Jess!", Stefan exclaims in shock when he sees me dragging her by hair. "What are you doing?"

Everybody gasps when they see me and Liam runs towards his father to hold his hand.

"Leave me", Martha struggles and tries to push me down. "Let me go you fat bitch!"

I almost stumble down but Stefan catches me quickly, his eyes wide and frighten. I feel my anger doubling and my jaw clenches when she tries to push me again.

"You do not do that in front of me bitch!", Leo snaps and holds Martha's hand instantly. "You do not push my pregnant best friend and think you can get away from it! What did she do to you Jess?"

"She made Liam cry Leo", I say angrily. "I found him crying his heart out because she told him that I am not his mother and I am going to send her away once the baby is born!"

"What the fuck is wrong with you?!", Stefan roars angrily at her. "Does my mother pay you to gossip in the kitchen and if you dare touch my wife again, I will make sure these hands of yours won't be able to do anything for the rest of your life!"

"B-but Sir", she stammers and cowers back. "I just told him the truth...."

"What the hell is wrong with you Martha?!", Esme exclaims angrily. "You need to get the hell out of here right now!"

"Let me take the thrash out", Leo drags her out while she keeps struggling against him. He is threatening her as they leave.

Liam looks at me with a smile and I wink at him. Stefan stares at me angrily and that's when I realize that I nearly fell down.

"Jess are you okay?", Ciara asks with worry. "You nearly...."

"I'm okay", I stop her before she can continues her phrase knowing Stefan is going to get even more angry with me.

"That was reckless Jess", Eliot points out with a hint of anger in his tone.

"I am so sorry about that darling", Esme apologizes and looks at me and Liam with a sad gaze.

"It's not your fault Esme and I'm okay everyone", I assure them with a smile. "And Liam is okay too, aren't you baby?"

He nods and comes to hold my hand. "Can we go home now mommy? You said you will tuck me in and read a bedtime story for me."

"I will", I stroke his hair, fondly.

"Let's go daddy", Liam chirps happily and when I look at Stefan, he gives his son a loving smile.

We bid everyone goodnight and walk outside. Liam suddenly remembers that he did not kissed his grandmother before leaving and runs inside searching for her. I look at Stefan and he is still angry with me.

"Stefan", I call his name gently. "Are you angry with me?"

"What the hell were you thinking Jess?!", he snaps furiously. "Do you even realize that you could have hurt yourself and the baby?!"

"But I didn't", my voice is meek. "You caught me on time."

"What if I was not there?!", he demands. "You have to stop being reckless Jess! It's not only you anymore. You are carrying our baby. Do you how I felt when I saw that you were about to fall?! My heart nearly stopped."

"I'm so sorry Stefan", I apologize and my voice breaks as I continue. "When I saw Liam crying like that, I got so angry and she looked so proud for telling him that I am not his mother. You should have seen him crying. He was not even able to speak properly. He was hurting so much and I will go after anyone who tries to hurt Liam intentionally. I already did the mistake of not protecting him once but not again. He is the sweetest boy and I can't let anyone hurt him. He doesn't deserves that."

Stefan sighs as he pulls me in his arms. I feel him kissing my hair while he rubs my back. "I get it baby but you should be careful. I don't want you to get hurt."

"I promise to be careful and I knew you would have hold me if she did pushed me", I claim because he was already by my side within a minute when he saw me dragging her out.

"Stop crying now", he says and wipes my face gently.

"Let's go mommy", Liam comes out. "I already kissed granny goodnight."

"Let's go", I smile and ruffle his hair.

"Daddy can you pick me up please?", he asks Stefan. "My feet hurts."

"Sure buddy"

Stefan picks him up and wraps his other hand around me.

"I love you", he murmurs for me in my ear and kisses me.

"I love you more", I tell him tenderly.

And just like that we walk further together towards our home and life. Who knew the struggling girl like me could ever have a chance to have such a loving family full of love and laughter. But like I have always believed, God is full of surprises. I did asked him for a miracle once and he showed me Liam. And through him, I realize the real meaning of true love. Love is giving, beautiful, full of light and hope and it gives you reason to keep pushing everyday.

I just pray to God that everyone gets to experience this pure love just like I am. I am forever grateful for working in that crappy restaurant because now I get to have my happily ever after with the love of my life and my two babies.

And for all those who are still struggling, keep holding on because God will send an angel for you one day. He sent me one and he will send one for you too.

Just keep going
