I stir awake on the bed hearing whispering going on around me and a feeling of someone running a hand through my hair.

"She had a mild anxiety attack. It made me so frightened and confused" Emma says with a shaky voice.

"How is she now?" Mum Eliana says sounding worried.

What? Mum Eliana? What is she doing here? " I called Dr. Anna, she said it's normal for her to have anxiety and depression during this last month of pregnancy, she just needs a good amount of rest free of pressure," she says wistfully.

I snap my eyes open to find myself laying on the settee with my head placed on Mum Elaina's lap while she glides through my hair looking worried.

I avert my gaze towards Emma seating on the armchair with tears rolling down her cheeks feeling guilty for making her so anxious " I am sorry for making you appall " I say my voice coming out raspy.

"It's okay dear," Mum Eliana says softly with a warm smile.

"Let me get you water," Emma suggests before leaving the room towards the kitchen.

"How are you feeling right now ?" she asks warily.

"I am feeling good "

"Don't think about what Sylvia said okay because I won't let any danger come on you or the baby?" she says smotheringly.

I was about to ask if is okay but Emma walks in with a jug containing water and an empty glass, she placed both on the table before helping me into a seating position" Thanks" I say taking the glass of water from her.

I gulp down the content hungrily before asking for more " are you still up for shopping or would you like to take more rest" Mum Eliana asks.

" shopping. Just give me a few minutes to get ready" I say standing up.

I took the jug and glass towards the kitchen before walking up the stairs towards my room.

I took a shower while changing Emma walks into the room making herself comfortable on my bed.

I pull my hair into a ponytail glancing at Emma who keeps sighing and whispering under her breath " what going on with you?" I inquire curiously with a raised eyebrow.

Emma usually does this when she has something unsettling on her mind and doesn't seem to have a solution to it.

She sighs once again before resting on the headboard" Remember I told you about the fashion gig in London" she asks.

"Yes," I remember she told me about a fashion gig being hosted in London. She and her Mom are important guests making this a big next level for her career.

" I just find out it on the same day Damien leaves for Italy and I don't know what to do because it's important to me, " she says frustrated running her hands through her hair.

I seat on the bed beside her " how long is he staying?" I ask warmly.

"He is staying for a year to help his Dad manage the company over there, " she says sadly " this the longest we will be apart from each other and I am already missing him since he declines all my calls, he believes am choosing a stupid show over him which isn't true "

She looked grim and frantic just from talking about it, I understand how she feels but I am very confident Damien loves her and he will surely come around" you guys just need to talk this out and find a solution," I say trying to ease her worries.
