"Home sweet home" said Melanie as she walked into her and Jake's house.

"Yeah" said Jake as he carried their bags in

"Do you want some help?" asked Melanie

"No you're pregnant you can't lift heavy things I don't want to risk you or the baby's health"

"Jake I'm not sick I'm pregnant and you can't wrap me up in cotton wool for the next 7 months" said Melanie

They had decided on the flight home not to tell anyone about the baby until Melanie was 3 months pregnant just in case, she had miscarried before.

"I know I just want you to be careful. Now will you shut up and just let me take care of you"

"Okay, you know I'm actually pretty tired so I'm going to bed. You coming?"

"Yeah I'll be in, in a minute.

The next morning Jake woke up and early and went into the kitchen and started preparing breakfast, he wanted to surprise Melanie with breakfast in bed. As he was frying the bacon, Jake heard a knock at the door he turned off the stove and went to see who it was and when he saw he was gob smacked.

"Star" he said. He had gone out with Star a few times before he and Melanie had gotten back together, he hadn't heard from her since the night Melanie had gotten drunk at the bar and he had taken her home.

"Hi Jake" she replied

"Wh-what are you doing here?" Jake asked stepping out into the porch so as not to wake Melanie.

"I uh know I haven't been in touch for a while but I was thinking that maybe we could go for a drink tonight" said Star

Before Jake could let her down gently Melanie emerged from the house fully dressed and had clearly heard what Star had just said.

"Oh hi it's Melanie right. Has Jake finally divorced you?" asked Star and then she noticed the wedding ring on her finger she continued "Of course he has I can see your wedding ring. So what are you doing here?"

Jake saw Melanie's eyes flash and he thought 'uh oh there's gonna be trouble'

"No actually he hasn't divorced me we got back together and I'm pregnant and I find my husband out here talking to some blonde floozy. Now most of the time I have quite a violent temper but since I got pregnant I've been a lot more volatile, so I suggest you get out of here and stay away from my husband or you'll feel the full wrath of my temper." said Melanie as she walked closer and closer to Star

"Uh Okay I'm sorry I didn't know" said Star before she ran down the stairs and out of sight.

"Did you have to be so rude to her" asked Jake as he went back in the house

"What! She's lucky she's still in one piece" said Melanie following Jake into the house.

"Oh come on Mel she didn't know"

"Why didn't you tell her. Were you hoping to keep as a bit on the side?" said Melanie getting angry

"Oh you're being ridiculous now" said Jake who was also getting mad.

"Am I" shouted Melanie

"Oh I don't need this I'm going to work" Jake shouted back before storming out

"Fine" Melanie shouted after him.
