Excited, Mel and Valerie walked hand in hand into the hospital. Valerie continued to fling her hair left and right, face brightened with smiles of joy. Her sister and Mel's best friend had just given birth to a healthy and big baby boy! Neither of the girls had been more excited to meet a baby in their entire life.

However, there was only one sad thing. After closing the restaurant early, Mel headed to pick Valerie from school and the girls went over to the hospital were Jojo's mother was admitted into. But when they got there, they found out Jojo's mother, Doris, was slightly under the weather. Thus, the doctor advised them to let her rest and not succumb her to the stress of traveling. It hurt and bothered Mel and Valerie that Jojo's mother was not with them, but there was nothing they could do.

Mel made sure to call Mrs Smith to make her aware of the recent development. Mrs Smith assured her that all would be well, and Jojo was expecting the both of them with joy in her heart. They stopped by a supermarket to get Jojo all her favorite fruits, before they made their way to the hospital.

Mel stopped in front of the receptionist table to ask for directions to Jojo's ward, but the three nurses seemed engrossed in whatever they were speaking about.

"Today must really be an auspicious day for us. I do not know who is giving birth, but the alpha of Rush pack is here! Did you guys see him?"

"Like hell we did! There were two other really handsome men with him. Those must be his gamma and beta. Whoever the woman is and whoever the child is, they must be really important." The second nurse added.

"I do not know who the woman is, but she or the child must be related to the alpha, I can bet it!"

Mel rolled her eyes, despite the smile that had formed on her face, and cleared her throat for what seemed to be the hundreth time.

The three young ladies turned to her, cheeks flustered with embarrassment.

Mel glanced at the three of them, before she spoke.

"I am here to see a Jojo Wyatt, she gave birth here some hours ago."

"Relationship?" A nurse with an arched brow asked.

Mel flashed the lady her most polite smile.

"I am her best friend, and this is her younger sister." She placed her hand on Valerie's shoulder.

She was given directions immediately and she rushed over to the ward.

She was ushered in by two nurses, after greeting the men at the door. Alpha Lake, beta Kenji and Anthony must have been three young men the nurses gossiped about. Immediately Valerie stepped into Jojo's ward, her eyes met her sister's. Jojo's lips spread into a wide smile and Valerie picked her pace and ran into her sister's arms.

Mel was more than excited to see the big and jovial baby. She embraced Mrs Smith for being by her friend's side, before locking her arms around Jojo.

Emerald carefully took the baby from Jojo's hands, to allow the friends embrace themselves. Valerie could not stop touching the baby's hands and legs. She as so excited, at first glance, she was more excited than the baby's mother. "You really did it, Jo. It's crazy, but you really did it! Congratulations! I mean, you're a mother now." As Mel spoke, tears rushed down her eyes. Jojo smiled at her best friend and tapped her cheek repeatedly.

"No, Mel. We did it. You, Val, Mrs Smith, even Anthony, and I. I do not think I would have easily gotten through this without any of you. You were all there for me whenever I needed you, you never seized to love and support me and I would forever be grateful."

Mel nodded and sniffed in her tears.

"Does this mean that I get to be the child's godmother? I mean, I know that Mrs Smith is quite older than I am, but..."

"Oh! You do not have to worry about that, Mel. I'm pretty sure I'm content with my grandmother role." Emerald cut in, waving her hand as she threw her head backwards in a faint chuckle.

Mel turned to Jojo, as if screaming," She knows?!". On the other hand, Jojo nodded slowly and Mel heaved a sigh of relief. She had not been able to stop thinking of how awkward it would be to break the news to them, or how weird it would be if Jojo decided to hide the truth from them.

"So, Jojo. What are you going to name the baby?" Emerald asked. She moved closer to Jojo and placed the baby in her open arms.

Jojo looked into the child's dark eyes, before she looked up at her eager audience.

"Lucian Tyler Rush." She replied, softly and smoothly.

Emerald and Mel nodded in approval, while Valerie rushed to Jojo's side.

"Can I hold him? Can I? Please?"

Just as Jojo was about to answer, a nurse stepped into the room. The four ladies turned to her and she bowed in courtesy.

"Forgive my intrusion, ma'am. But you are required to rest now. You would be given a light meal to regain your strength, but after that, it is expedient that you get at least two hours of sleep."

Two hours of sleep? Jojo opened her mouth to protest, but Emerald was faster.

She reached out for the child and Jojo reluctantly placed him in her arms. Mel tapped Jojo'a shoulder gently. She knew that her friend did not want to be away from her baby at all, but it was important that she rested.

"He's almost falling asleep. Don't worry, Jojo. I'll take good care of him. Is that right, my little boy?" The last sentence was directed at the sleeping baby, Emerald held him closer to her chest and Jojo heaved a sigh of relief. Mrs Smith was right, she had nothing to worry about.

Soon, everyone exited the room. Jojo was given a bowl of hot soup to eat, which she seemed to finish in a gulp. After that, she was told to lie down and drift to sleep.

But when her back touched the soft mattress of the bed, sleep was almost impossible to replace. The pain in her lower abdomen barely allowed her to close her eyes. Soon, she was unable to ignore the pain and was almost drifting off to sleep when her door creaked open.

She heard faint footsteps. It must have been a nurse coming to check on...

"Doctor! She's bleeding!"

Alert, Jojo tried to open her eyes, but she could not replace the strength to do so. All she heard was the distant sound of commotion outside the room, and the sound of footsteps rushing in and out of the room.
