Chapter 7
"So, tell us about your honeymoon, how was it?" asks Divya
"Oh we had a great time, didn't we Paige?"
"It was fantastic, we rode Elephants in Thailand, shopped in the markets of Bangkok and went on Safari in Sumatra" said Paige.
"Yeah, we saw Tigers and Orangutans and all sorts of other stuff too"
"Uh-huh, but enough about us, how are you, how's the baby?"
"The baby is fine, I actually found out what I'm having the other day"
"Ooh, do tell"
"I'm having a girl"
"Oh congratulations Divya, and don't you worry little one, you're aunty Paige will spoil you rotten".
"Have you got any ideas for names?"
"I've narrowed it down to 5; Yasmin, Aisha, Kyra, Daya or Sahira. I wanted an Indian sounding name"
"Those all sound lovely"
"Jeremiah, she's not been a demanding pregnant woman has she?"
"No not at all, though you have had some weird cravings, right Divya?"
"I suppose you could say that yeah"
"Like what?"
"She particularly likes ice cubes, cheese and smoked salmon"
"That is a weird combination"
"So we've talked about us and Divya, but what about everything else, how's HankMed and the rest of Hamptons?"
"Well first of Jill's back"
"Casey?!"
"Do you know any other Jill?"
"When?"
"Like a week or so ago I think"
"Apart from that, nothing much, the Hamptons are still the same, oh and Marissa came around with Carlos a few days ago, he is so gorgeous"
"Oh, Boris is back from the trial?"
"Yeah, he came back when I did, we're just waiting for the results of the trial to know if it worked or not"
"Well I hope it has"
"So does he?"
"Shall, I go fetch desert?" asks Jeremiah.
"What is it?"
"Apple Pie"
"Oh yes please"
An hour later, once all the food had gone, everyone was getting ready to leave and were saying their goodbyes.
"And you missy" started Paige, "You stay safe, Jeremiah, do not let her left a finger"
"He hasn't been, it's kind of frustrating actually"
"Good, see you guys soon"
"Bye"
"See ya"
Then Hank, Evan and Paige all left, leaving Divya and Jeremiah alone in the house once more.
"I'll go start cleaning up"
"Let me, help, please"
"No"
"Please, I'll just sit at the table and dry the dishes so that you can put them away"
"All right, come on then"
"Thank you"
A few hours later the two of them were sat on the same couch watching television when Divya turned to Jeremiah and said "Thank you"
"For what?"
"For everything, you've been a great help to me these last few weeks"
"You're welcome"
"I actually wanted to ask you something"
"What is it?"
"I know I've still got a long way to go, but will you be my daughter's godfather, well one of them"
"Are you sure?"
"Yes"
"Then ok"
"Thank you, you're important to me Jeremiah, and I know you'll be a good influence on my child"
"Speaking of which, Hank and Paige I can understand, but do you really want Evan to be a godparent"
"I debated it for a long time, but yes I am, he's helped me a lot over the last few years, he's a good friend, a little wild, but I know he'll spoil her and make her feel like a princess".
"I agree"
Moments later Divya says "Oh, my feet are killing me, I swear I have cankles"
"No you don't, you're beautiful"
"Thank you"
"I mean it Divya, you're beautiful"
Divya just smiles at this before leaning in to Jeremiah and kissing him, after a few seconds it becomes a bit more passionate before they break away and just stare at each other for a long while.
