Dangerous & Anew (Sequel to Inhaling Alongside You)✔️

Chapter fifteen: "Jesse... Meet The Chandlers"

All controlled by the money they make
The rich set the poor's low places

Now tell me why you pretend
To care and lend a hand
When all you care 'bout is how it ends
And after it all where you stand

So don't tell me you are hurt
When I call you selfish and vile
Because you treat others like dirt
One day you'll stand before me on trial

Rebecca Pepper-Hidden Evil

Looking at a person, you wouldn't automatically be able to differentiate their character. Are they conniving? Are they charismatic? Are they genuine. So we judge from what we hear, what we notice. But, it's the persons that we claim near and dear, that are the ones with the criminal minds and sly eyes. The none genuine. There's so much corruption and evils in our world, but there so much camouflage that gifts them invisibility.

One month. That's how long I've waited-we've waited. One month of reconciliation. One month of preparation. One month of agreeing to disagree. Lastly, one month of finalizing a decision.

Questions flustered our minds, but time was passing by all too fast. Therefore, Michael and I have finally decided that in order to really clear out sleight of all the past animosity, we will have to reveal our engagement and hope for the best afterwards. Most would think of our synopsis as crazy, but if we don't do it then someone else will.

In addition to the troublesome problem of revealing our engagement, Michael also wants me to officially meet the Chandlers.

Initially, I looked at him crazily. I didn't understand why he would want me to meet this family if he was only trying to help them, just until Jordy is officially well again? I had to rationalize the whole situation for over week. Maybe he just wants me to meet the little boy who he is saving, maybe there is no hidden agenda? But the more I pondered, the less his offer made sense.

But of course, wanting to be supportive, I digressed my pondering and agreed to meet the young kinder who has sprung Michael's heart and his mother as well. Now it being a week later, in which this is the week Michael wants the official meeting to be on, reconciliation of the problem is harder to progress with more than ever. I have so many questions, but I have to keep them limited for the sake of sanity.

I don't want to ask a question and end up riled up by an unacceptable answer.

"Alright Misses... You sound pretty good for nearly two months. Hurt continue to take it easy, no stress and no spiking blood pressure. Okay?" Nurse Rowe smiles, returning her stethoscope onto her neck.

I sigh in relief, thanking her for a successful check up.

Recently, I've been a little worried about my capability of carrying out child full term. I have really had a few nightmares about the night I lost our first child. The pain below was unbearable and my heart was broken. I never want to relive that, and I'm taking every precaution possible to ensure that it doesn't have a reiteration with our second child.

Miss Rowe smile widen as she continues to gather her belongings, prescribing a few prenatal's as well as giving me tips for the lower back pain I have been experiencing lately. Once again thanking her, stand from our bed and offer to walk her out, just as we are slipping into the hallway, Michael appears from his study and greets us warmly.

"Hey there, how's my Babygirl?" He chirps, directing his questions towards Miss Rowe.

Although his tone is playful, I know all too well that he was being absolutely serious. Michael, though he doesn't show it, is just as nervous as I am about my pregnancy. He wants everything to be smooth sailing. Therefore he called in a dear friend, Debbie Rowe.
