As we left Casey's house, I couldn't help but let some tears fall. I really couldn't understand how someone could be so mean. And how was I supposed to get the 10,000£? And it's not like Casey needed the money. He had a really big house and a job that seemed to pay him very well. It was just another way to see me suffer for him; I just knew it.

"He knows about the baby! I bet he only wants the money to make me worry about everything and stress... And..." I said, feeling frustrated and angry. I couldn't believe someone could be so cruel.

"Calm down... I told you that I have an idea...." Benoit said, taking my hand into his before squeezing it gently.

The ride toward the apartment was made in an awkward silence. We both were lost in our thoughts, too worried about the things that were waiting for us. Benoit paid the driver and led me toward the living room as soon as we stepped outside.

"So, what is it?" I asked curiously; wanting to know that idea and hoping it was a good one.

"I still have some money saved into my account that I was keeping just in case something bad happened... But I don't have enough... I only have 4,000£ but it's a beginning! I could try to get more shows or photo shoots. That should be possible. It might take a little while but it will be alright. He didn't give a deadline! The end is near, I promise you." He said, trying to excite me with his idea. It wasn't a bad idea but he seemed ready to spend all of his saved money and all of his hard worked money for me and my son which made me feel strange.

"So... You would give all the money into your account for my son? Why? I-I don't understand..." I finally mumbled, not fully understanding. How could someone give everything he had?

"I-Y... You may find that strange or stupid but.... I never was really lucky when it comes to relationships so when you really think that you've find the right person you would do everything you can to help them... You know what I mean?" He said a slight blush on his cheeks as he played nervously with his fingers.

Not knowing what to answer, I hugged him as strongly as I could. What did I do to deserve someone as amazing as him? I had no idea how I would be able to repay him.

"W-Why are you crying?" Benoit asked in a small voice as he was near my ear.

"W-What?" I mumbled with a frown, not breaking the hug. I didn't even know I was crying! Stupid pregnancy hormones! "I can't thank you enough for everything you're doing. I feel like I'll never be able to repay you. There aren't enough words to tell you how grateful I am..."

"Everything will be alright, I promise." He whispered, breaking the embrace before giving me a small kiss.

The next days were really busy between finishing the wedding's preparations and trying to get enough money to get Jamel back. Benoit was out of the apartment most of the days and nights being really busy between photo shoots and shows. I, on the contrary, was finishing the wedding's preparations with the ideas and advices of Benoit. I was angry, mostly at myself, because I wasn't doing much to help to gain money. I was forced not to stress and overwork myself because of the baby and I couldn't help but feel useless.

Now, the wedding was only 2 days away and I couldn't help but think that there were still many things to do. I was pulled out of my thoughts when I heard the 'bip' of the microwave. Sighing, I left the sofa and made my way toward the kitchen. Just when I was about to put some food on my plate, I heard the noise of the front door being opened and closed soon after.

Farrah appeared a few seconds later and gave me a tired smile when she saw me. I smiled back and hugged her quickly. The makeup was doing a great job at hiding the dark circles under her eyes.

"Hi... Can you believe that I already got 2,000£ between all these photo shoots and shows? Now, I'm taking three days off and I will start again just after." She said, giving me a kiss on the cheek. I could hear in her voice how tired she was and I was worried she would get sick or burnout.

"Only three days off? Are you sure? You could take a few more days... I don't want you to get sick..." I said with a worried frown.

"I will be fine, no worries. I really can't wait for the 4 of us to be reunited." She answered with a soft smile.

"To be honest... I'm a little scared... I don't know how Jamel will react when he will learn that his fat-, that Russell died... To him, he was his father...." I said in a small voice while closing my eyes, trying to fight back the memories.

"It might take a while for him to accept it but, with time, things will get better. I promise you... No need to stress so much." She told me before hugging me for a few minutes.

I gave her a small smile and we began to eat mostly speaking about the wedding which was now only a few days away. Saying that I was excited was an understatement. I was glad I found someone who understood what I went through and was totally supporting me. I was also thankful for everything he did and that he still does to help me get my son back and I was really hoping that Jamel would learn to accept and love him as much as me. He could be such a good role model for my son.

I was also planning to tell me mother and my sister that I was pregnant the day of the wedding. My stomach won't be easy to hide for long so it was better to say it. I was a little anxious to see my sister again though. It has been so long since I last saw her! This day was going to be full of emotions and the only thing I really wanted was for Jamel to be there with all of us which sadly would be impossible.

I couldn't wait for him to come back into my life...
