Mick und Sherry entered the room along with Blake. “Sit down,” I said when they stood in a
corner.
“It’s fine, ma’am,” Blake said.
“No, it’s not fine. Please be seated,” I said.
“Blake. have a seat,” Theo said, entering the room.
Blake gave a curt nod before sitting down, followed by Mick and Sherry. Theo kissed my forehead before sitting down beside me.
Soft music was playing in the background. I held Theo’s hand and looked at him.
I gave him a smile, and he nodded before looking at everyone.
“I know everyone is happy with the judgment,” Theo started.
“We are,” Talia said. Everyone else nodded their heads:
“Jasmine and I have some special news to tell you all,” Theo said. I was a bit nervous and excited to tell them. I didn’t know what their reactions were going to be.
“Jasmine and I are expecting a baby,” Theo said, then waited for them to react.
Talia’s eyes widened in surprise. “I knew it! I knew it! I was telling Christopher the same thing but he wouldn’t listen to me!” Talia said.
“Wow, congratulations, Jasmine, Mr. Jefferson,” Sherry said.
“Congratulations. I’m so happy for you two,” Christopher said. I smiled brightly at them and blushed when I saw Talia.
“Congratulations,” Blake said.
“Congratulations,” Mick said.
“Thank you, everyone,” I said.
“Thea, aren’t you going to say congratulations to your flower and papa?” Talia asked.
“I don’t understand,” Thea said with a confused expression on her face.
“Baby…Jasmine is pregnant…you will have a baby sister or brother soon,” Talia explained.
We watched as a small gasp left her mouth and eyes widened in surprise. “Really? I will have a baby to play with?!”
“Yes.”
Thea hugged me and I laughed. “I’m so happy! I’m so happy! I will be having someone to play

Thea hugged me and I laughed. “I’m so happy! I’m so happy! I will be having someone to play with! When will the baby come? Will the baby come after two months?”
Everyone laughed at her excitement and questions. “No, baby, the baby will come a bit later. We nave to take care of the flowers for now. Don’t stress her and make her sad, okay?” Theo said.
“Okay, I will never stress Flower,” Thea said. I kissed her forehead, hugging her closer.
“So now that the baby is on the way, when is the wedding?” Talia asked, catching me off–guard.
“Mom…No questions. You’ll know when it will happen,” Theo answered. Before she could say anything Christopher placed his hand on her arm.
“Darling…”
“Okay.”

A heavy breath left my mouth. I could hear the ladies talking around me.
“Jasmine, you can open your eyes and look in the mirror,” Genelia said.
I took a deep breath before opening my eyes. My heart was thumping against my ribcage. I was nervous, excited, scared, but mostly happy.
My eyes widened slightly as I looked at my reflection. “Beautiful,” Talia whispered.
I blinked my eyes, feeling the moisture in them.
“I cannot believe that you are going to be my daughter–in–law. I’m so lucky to have you in my life,” Talia said. I looked at her in the mirror and smiled.
I placed my hand on my five–month baby bump that was clearly visible in my wedding gown, a simple satin pearl–white dress.
My hair was pinned back in a neat bun. My makeup was simple and natural. The wedding was happening in our mansion. Only close friends and relatives were invited.
Theo and I decided to have a small private wedding. “Five minutes. The groom is waiting at the altar,” the wedding planner said.
“Okay.”
“Ready, honey?” Talia asked.
I nodded.
“It’s normal to be nervous, but this is your day. We’re all here to cherish this new beginning. Kick that nervous away for some other time and focus on your man,” Talia said, and I laughed.
“Okay. Where is Thea?” I asked her.
“She is waiting for you at the altar with her papa.”
I smiled. “See you there.”
“Okay.”
I looked at Sherry and Summer, who were beaming at me. They took their positions. Sherry, Summer, Abigail, and Olivia were my bridesmaids.
