Melissa's pov:

The next day after a restful night's sleep my brother and I get up and have breakfast before getting showered and changed. (My brother still borrowing my clothes as he doesn't have any luggage). I reminded myself to take him to the nearest department store to get a new outfit or two later that day depending on how long he was going to need to stay.

With that I heard my brother on the phone. He was calling the airlines trying to book another flight home. I decided to give him some privacy and I walked back into my room. No sooner had I entered my room then Lisa called. She asked me where we should meet. Seeing it wasn't quite noon I invited her to come over for lunch as I figured this was a sensitive matter that shouldn't be discussed in public. She hesitantly agreed.

As soon as I heard my brother hang up I went back into the other room.

"So what's going on with your flight?" I asked my brother before I told him anything about Lisa.

"The earliest they had was Thursday. So seeing as how it is only Monday I hope you don't mind having a roommate for another three days." He said half jokingly.

"Not a problem. I love your company." I began trying to work up the courage to tell him about Lisa. "By the way...I just talked to Lisa and she agreed to meet us here for lunch in a little while." I said slowly waiting for my brother's reaction.

William's POV:

I see Anna's eyes filling with tears, I know by now its futile to fight it, so I encourage her to talk about her pregnancy: "My love, I know it's hard and we don't feel as secure as other couples, but we'll have to tell them sooner or later, why not now, I'm here for you." I wait for Anna to continue, willing to talk if she becomes unable to.

Tristan's POV:

I wake up, I feel a weight on my abs, my sister placed her thigh over it, I lovingly caress Melissa's warm thigh, slipping out of it to get up. The morning passes by, Lisa calls my sister saying she is on her way, I wait, feeling time goes slowly until I hear the doorbell ringing, it must be Lisa...

Anna's pov:

I almost wanted the topic of conversation to be turned back to Jarrod and Camilla as our pregnancy was a hard subject for me. Although I was excited to be pregnant and couldn't wait to have our baby I was also still very scared after what happened last time. I didn't know what emotion was going to win over if I spoke any further. That's when William spoke.

He tells me he know it's hard for me to be 100% excited to be pregnant again as he knows our previous tragedy is still on the forefront of my mind, but he adds that we'd have to tell Jarrod and Camilla eventually anyway so he thinks now is the best time since we're all here together in person.

I take a deep breath and speak quietly "I'm sorry I'm not as excited to talk about my pregnancy as you are to hear about it. I know being pregnant is a wonderful thing and I am extremely excited to be pregnant. All I've ever wanted is to become a mother with the man of my dreams. But as you all know I've unfortunately had a miscarriage during my last pregnancy and I'm extremely fearful of it happening again. And I think my fear is overshadowing my excitement just a bit."

As I encourage Camilla to continue talking about our honeymoon I hear William encourage Anna to talk about her pregnancy. Anna hesitates to talk, William starts, Anna gathers the courage and continues talking, she says she is not as excited as she should be, fear and uncertainty caused by her previous miscarriage.

I caress Camilla’s thigh then her cheek. After a brief silence I softly pat Camilla’s thigh to encourage her to continue talking about the honeymoon. I look in her eyes and tell them about the day when we went to the Abbey and the river (hoping Camilla adds details).

As I wait, her phone suddenly rings.
