It was the next morning. Mara didn't know why, but she had woken earlier than she'd intended and she met her mother downstairs.

"Morning." Mara mumbled. She got a hug from her ever-happy mother and a kiss on her cheek.

"Good morning, darling. I've asked Victor to get Mr Sweet to let you have a week off, just so we can spend some time together as a family." Trudy practically sang.

Jasper came in, saw his wife and daughter and joined in the cuddle.

"I take it that you two are already close?" He questioned the two.

Mara said "Trudy's close to everyone."

"I know. But the reason she's closest to you, emotionally and mentally as well as physically, is because she's your mum."

Mara felt another kiss and Trudy's hand run through her hair.

"So do I call you guys Mum and Dad or do I just stick to calling you by your first names?" Mara asked.

"What do you want to call us, princess?" Jasper asked her.

"I prefer to call you Mum and Dad. All night while I was thinking of you, I called you Mum and Dad."

Jasper smiled, then rubbed Mara's back. Trudy was looking at her daughter's face. Mara saw the maternal love in Trudy's eyes. She noticed that her eyes had started glittering with happy tears.

"Baby girl, you're so beautiful." Trudy gave her another hug.

Jasper got hold of his wife and daughter and kissed them both on their heads.

"My girls." Just then, Trudy had to rescue the breakfast.

"Jasper, give it to her, please! I just can't control myself, let her have it!" She said, excitement in her tone.

He gave Mara the present. She had sat at the table and they watched her open it, holding hands and smiling in excitement.

Mara was surprised that they knew her exact size, taste and style. They'd given her a new dark blue dress and matching little flats. Then there was a long slim box, that contained a sapphire and diamond tiara.

Mara looked at it in shock. She was so happy, she could only smile.

"T-t-thank...you..." She stuttered, she couldn't even talk because of how happy she was.

Trudy smiled. "We saw this a week ago and we knew you'd love it."

Hearing that made Mara see how much her parents wanted to make up for giving her away. She understood the mess they'd been in at the time of her birth, so she thanked them for what they did. They'd loved her enough to want her to have the best in life, they'd loved her enough to let someone else care for her, just so that she would grow up, healthy and happy.

"It's perfect." Mara went around the table and gave her parents a hug.

Trudy made a special breakfast. They had marshmallow cereal, chocolate and honey porridge, toast and any kind of jam, hot chocolate, lemonade, orange juice, a traditional English breakfast and her famous pastries.

Jerome saw it all and gasped.

"Wow, Trudy! Why are you celebrating?"

Eddie said "Obvious, isn't it, Jerry?"

"No." Now Jerome was confused.

"She's pregnant and she's celebrating." Eddie said, in amusement. Fabian groaned.

"Oh, they didn't..." He moaned.

"Yeah." Jasper said. "We did. And look at the result." He gestured to Mara.

Alfie fell off his chair. Everyone else had wide eyes.

Joy said "Mara? She's your daughter?" Her eyes were hugely wide.

"Yeah. She is. We only told her last night." Trudy said.

Mara looked at her friends.

"Mara, please say that this is some sick joke." KT spoke up.

"No. It isn't. I didn't believe it either. But it's true." Mara smiled slightly. Trudy had bent her head, trying no to let people see that she was crying. Jasper messed up Mara's hair.

"Dad..." She giggled.

"What?" He spoke all innocent-like.

"Nothing." She smiled, just as innocently. "I think Mum's crying." Mara whispered.

Jasper went and crept up behind her, then he hugged her from behind, grabbing her waist.

"Gotcha, pretty lady." Then he kissed her lips.

Mara carried on eating. She was used to her parents acting like that. Trudy jokingly pushed him off her and chased him around the kitchen going "You're gonna pay for that!"

As soon as she'd said it, Jasper turned and knocked her over, kissing her. Mara was eating peacefully, her headphones in to make her oblivious.

"How is sweet, sensible Mara their child?" Joy asked. "I mean, look at her. She's silent and innocent and I'd hate to know what they're doing in there."

Mara unplugged one ear.

"Y'know, they're always like that. If you don't like it, put your headphones in and ignore them."

Mara was listening to Jessie J, Price Tag.

Dancing was something she liked, so she put it on for everyone to hear. They all danced in their seats. They even managed to drown out the kissing sounds coming from the kitchen.

Then suddenly, Domino started playing and they were all singing. That's when they heard Mara sing.

Willow said "Wow, Mara can sing. She's good at it!"

Patricia said "Both Trudy and Jasper can sing, so it isn't actually surprising."

Mara sang as if she hadn't heard anything. As soon as that was over, they moved on to Nobody's Perfect, by Jessie J. Mara sang that word perfect.

Trudy screamed, in pain, not happiness. Mara ran to see what had happened. Trudy was crying on the floor. Jasper was knelt next to her, trying to soothe her.

"It's OK, baby. Don't cry, please." He sounded terrified. She was curled up, crying painfully.

"Jasper, it hurts..." She whimpered.

"OK. Mara, darling. Call an ambulance, please, sweetheart." Mara called an ambulance.

"What's the matter with her?" Mara questioned.

"She's saying she's having bad stomach cramps. Oh, God... We need them now."

When the ambulance came, Trudy was gasping. She was taken to a ward where Jasper and Mara weren't supposed to go.

The doctor came back half an hour later, smiling.

"Mr Choudhary, could you and your daughter come with me, please?"

They went with her, to Trudy. She was sat up, smiling and holding a baby. Jasper looked surprised, Mara gasped.

"Mum!" She had no idea that Trudy was pregnant.

"Trudy." Judging by the surprise in Jasper's tone, he hadn't known she was pregnant either.

"Hi, sweeties. Come here and meet our little surprise." She smiled at them.

They went and sat with them.

"When did you find out about this, Trudy?" Jasper asked her.

"When the doctors told me that I was about to give birth, that's when." Trudy giggled. "I had as much idea as you two did. I think only he knew."

Mara looked at the little baby.

"I have a brother?" She looked at him in surprise. The baby looked at her. She loved the innocence of the baby.

"Yeah, apparently so. What should we call him?" Trudy smiled.
