Sarah

'oh, my ...Lisa, I can't tell how much you make me happy today...this is the best news so far I have ever got...After so much pain and sadness that my family has been gone through this news is the biggest and the happiest news of my life.'

Roma hugged Lisa and Tom when they announced they are pregnant during dinner...Sarah was standing behind them because her days has come not to sit at the dining table with them as Mr grey has gone for another business trip...she is waiting for the orders just like old time.

Sarah was happy for Lisa and Tom ...she is really as Lisa and Tom always wanted a kid of their own and have been trying for years. A little child again will be brought to this home after a few months but the reaction Roma is giving to this news is like this is the first child of the Grey family...and it hurts...that Ava never got that kind of love and not even in her time of pregnancy she was treated like that...well she was treated worse when she was laying on the floor waiting for theo to whip her with belt ...then she gives the breaking news about her pregnancy..and also how everyone was disgusted by this news...But Lisa pregnancy was the happiest moment for the Grey family even Theo looks so happy by this news ...Sarah wishes Theo show this kind of mood to her daughter know who is terribly ignored by her family members.

Lisa and Tom were also looking happy and excited Tom said 'Mom I'm happy that we can see this smile on your face after so many years...actually we know this about like two months ago (Tom look at Lisa to confirm it ) but first we were not sure then other stuff happens (He give a look to Sarah) today doctor gives us this good news so we were excited to share this now' Tom kissed Lisa on her forehead and act like a happy soon to be becoming a father

Theo also smiles and said 'Im so happy for your guys..many many congratulations. I hope this baby brings lots of happiness and good luck in our home..which we need a lot'

Sarah's heart was breaking little by little for her small Ava.

Is her daughter is not considered to be bringing happiness? Hell, no one ever saw Ava face properly till now like she is a bad luck ...Her beautiful Ava is growing so fast daily and everyone is missing that but Sarah control her tears and say to her that at least she can see every moment of her daughter and she will be happy on that

Roma then jabbed Sarah indirectly 'Well today I'm very happy... becoming a grandmother finally..who would have thought that. Lisa, now you have to take of yourself and I'm going to take you the best gynecologist in the city ...and secondly try to stay away from negative people..' Roma directly glared at Sarah..but Sarah did not say anything she just look down and control her tears but saw Theo was looking at her strangely

Tom broke the awkward moment and said 'Yeah mom is right, Lisa I was also thinking that you take a leave from work'

Lisa gives him an unbelievable look 'Are you serious...I'm two months pregnant not 9 months...

Theo also said in humor's ''bro she is right...you are acting like a control freak..It's too early to take a leave ''

Roma shakes her head and then said 'Lisa I think you should take a break it's not like your working anywhere else it's our company you can join it anytime you want I don't want anything to happen to my grandchild'

Lisa laughs and said 'Mom I love you that you are so worried but no need ..my pregnancy is normal, doctors have already given me a thumbs up...I mean it's not like Sarah pregnancy even she was also doing all work at the end of her pregnancy ...' But Lisa stopped when she realized that she brought Sarah topic into the discussion which changes the whole happy atmosphere of the table into tense...Theo also stop in the midway of eating and looked at Sarah

Roma got angry and said 'Lisa I just told you not to even think about negative vibes and people...That girl and her so-called pregnancy is nothing to discuss here. ( Roma pass a disgusting look t Sarah) you are giving me the happiness of my life by making me a grandmother...that girl only bring misery and disgust in our house'

Sarah bit her lip to make a sound and make a fist. How a grandmother can call her granddaughter disgust and misery. Sarah agreed that Roma don't accept Ava her grandchild but saying those harsh words hurt Sarah so much that she felt her tears falling.

She wiped them and then heard Roma voice 'Hi you girl..What are you acting like a drama queen go and make coffee for us..and make special Tea for Lisa...go now'

Sarah turned away and went to the kitchen where she broke down silently and looked at the window and saw the sky and pray 'Plz God... I can't bear this pain. They can say anything to me but it hurt when they say this to my little Ava...plz help me'

Theo

Theo tightens his fist and controls himself not to say something to his mom. When she called Ava a disgust and Sarah a bad luck he almost lost it...but then he realized why should he defend them it's because of him they are treated like this..but deep down in his heart he felt a pain of what he can't describe and when he saw Sarah crying face he wants to go and calm her but then he remember she deserves this maybe Ava does not deserve this but sometimes you can hurt someone deeply when you attack his or her precious thing..and Ava is Sarah precious thing ..like Tina was his...

After coffee everyone went to their room..His mom was truly in cloud nine ...he felt bad for that little girl sleeping peacefully in his room..that because of Sarah she will never be accepted..he drags a hand on his hair and thought why he is even thinking like that.
