"Ken," Sam call.
"Yes Sam."
"Ken, I must thank you for making all the arranging for this meeting and for taking such good care of Dee while we were away."
"As you know Sam, we work well together but these few weeks she seems patient less and become agitated very easily, so we were unable to accomplish much work at the radio station."
"Yes, I have noticed the change a few weeks back but she has returned home when she took me to visited the doctor ensuring that I was alright."
"Sam, could it be she was worried about you and that was what was causing the restlessness and her stubborn behavior, but things should be more pleasant at work now?"
"I just hope so Ken, and another thing don't whisper a word to her when she comes to work or to Beverly. I am hoping things will become better when they meet again."
"Sam, did you tell Alex that she is not illiterate?"
"We cannot give him all the information at once, he is so hungry to learn about her whereabout that he might choke. "
All laughing when Ken said, "You are right but I hope you know two of them are good together."
"I know son, but he must know she is a married woman, so I have some work cut out to do before the reunion."
"Okay you two, we will see again very soon and Maria thank you so much for this wonderful dinner,
I don't know when Beverly will take some time and come to learn how to cook. Look at Dee she learned so well and all her dishes are tasty as yours."
"Ken be patient with her, every person are so different, Dee was scared and put herself in place to learn as much for the sake of survival.
Beverly on the other hand takes everything for granted, she enjoys the luxuries you provide for her, so she feels she don't need to do such trivial things."
"You are right Maria, I need to change some things and that allowance I give her, she must earn it. Dee is so right I must put her to sit down and explain some things to her."
Sam watches Ken leave then said to Maria, "Please take me to bed I had a very productive and progressive night. I should rest well now, to much of this excitement is not good for the old ticker."

While returning to Brixton Alex was tempted to stop at Diandra home, but then he thought to himself.
'I will not breach Sam trust, if I see her and forget myself in the excitement, I might say something and expose her friends. Sam and Maria has openly welcome me as her friend.'
Without any hesitation Alex just drive away passing her house, the place was in total darkness. 'I had waited for so long to meet her, so what is a week more?
Listening to these people I could sense their kindness and love towards her, especially Sam and his concern is so admirable.
The Doctor said she is undetectable at the present time, but Sam has keen eyes to detect her pregnancy at this early stage. Diandra was right about him, nothing seems to miss his eyes.
This dinner was a breakthrough, so many things has been confirmed that had me stressed out.
Diandra is pregnant just as the doctor said, which is a tremendous blessing and to hear that , she is missing me means a lot.
From what Sam said, my suspicion of Joash being my son fills my heart with such joy, oh Lord this is truly a miracle. I am really going to have my own family.
Lord I really don't deserved this after the way I have treated her, but I am thankful for your favor and blessing especially for giving me an heir to carry on the Mellford name.
If only mom was alive she would have been so happy having her own grandchild and expecting another.
Smiling Alex thinks back to Maria words, 'I know Diandra is very stubborn at times and becomes angry so easily but unmanageable.
I have so much to learn about her, the two weeks we shared together most of the time we fight more than we love each other.
I believe this is mostly because she was falling in love with me and having to choose was very difficult.
I know it was very hard for her to make the final decision. By her sacrificing her love to go and be with these two people says a lot about her. gratefulness and thankfulness towards them.
Now understanding the decision was easier for her especially since she wanted to hide my son from me. I am definitely sure that was the reason.
The way she loves Sam as her father, and knowing he was unwell. I can see why she was willing to make any amount of sacrifice for him.
She is so unpredictable and caring but she hide so many secrets from them, and Maria loves Ken as the son she never had, and they are like a unit knitted together.
They both love them unconditionally and this is the family she has chosen over me. I can't wait to see them altogether.
Now the first thing I must do is to get her a gown for the function. I know the allowance I sends to her is not sufficient for a beautiful gown.
I cannot have her looking inappropriate in front of Sam and Maria's friends. I know from the way they speaks about her they are very proud.
Hearing him ask Ken to get a tuxedo that means this is very important for him, and I know the gown I get for her birthday won't fit her.
I must find some time this coming week to get her a beautiful gown, being three and a half months pregnant means she has almost grown a size bigger.
And if she is hiding this pregnancy from everyone, then she will need a dress that is not so fitted .'
