Shelby and offered her baby doll to Shelby. “Want baby?” She said to Shelby. Handing the doll to her and smiling. “Thank you so much Gia.” Shelby said squatting down in front of the little girl. Extending her hand she said to the gorgeous child. “My name is Shelby, it is an honor to meet you” she finished. When Gia decided to jump into Shelby’s arms. “Shelby it is so good to see you! How have you been?” Logan’s mother said smiling. “Shelby?” Tessa said pretending like she was shocked to hear that name. Looking up at Logan she pretended to whisper “Isn’t that the spoiled right bitch you told me about?” “LOGAN! His mother said. Logan heard a sharp intake of breathe coming from Shelby. “Oops” Tessa said “Did I let the cat out of the bag?” she said looking around at all the people in the room pretending to feel bad. “Ooooh... Daddy Miss Tessa said a naughty word she needs a time out.” Gia said. Shelby smiled at Gia and say her back on the gloor keeping her head held high she walked over to Logan’s mother and hugged her and kissed her on the cheek. “It was so good to see you again.” She said. She then turned around walking past Logan to the door. But not before hearing Tessa say “I guess money can’t buy you a backbone.” “SHUT UP TESSA!” Logan said to her. “Shut up and get the fuck out of my house” Logan said pointing toward his front door. “Logan! Not in front of Gia!” his mother said to him. “You are right momma. I apologize.” Logan said grabbing Tessa’s arm to pull her toward the front door. “Logan, let go of me! Why are you acting this way?” Tessa whined. Attempting to seem hurt. “Cause I want you out of my house you two bit hoe.” Logan said still dragging her toward the front door. “This is how you treat the mother of your child?” she yelled.

That was when Tessa knew she had him. “That is what I came to tell you” She said rubbing her arm. “I took a test yesterday and I am pregnant Logan. With your baby.” She finished.

The antique water fountain transformed the front yard, it could change your mood every time you look at it or walk past it. The majestic ancient limestone portal is a prerequisite to any stately southern home of any style. This kind of entryway was handpicked by antique dealers globally and on occasions sold directly to a small discerning clientele that reads something like a Forbes 400 list including a few heads of states. For both interior and exterior use, columns were all over the house in many forms and shapes. They are either newly hand carved out of old limestone block or were simply reclaimed from older structures that have gone through renovation and no longer required their functional structural usage those columns were first intended for. The columns heights and diameters vary in sizes. a unique water feature that transformed the front and back yard into a lush oasis of limestone, water and greenery was a fountain that was a hand carved stone art piece instead of that stacked, bricked or stuccoed wall that you currently see on larger homes. Shelby was dreading what was about to happen. From the looks of things everyone was here. Shelby had not seen or spoken to her sister and her mother or should she say, her step-mother since the family wedding dinner. Her mind also roamed to Logan and the events that had
