" Your going alone! To the doctor's. To see your little baby and he ain't gonna be there!" Jeb couldn't believe what DG was saying.

" He has a new mistress. It means he stays away from me , thank gods. If your that upset why don't you tag along. I usually end up going alone. Gets lonely quickly."

" Well of course I'm coming SOMEONE who cares about you should be by your side."

At the doctor's office they say image's of the baby.

" Do not tell anybody this DG but ,awwww. The baby's ...it's just... Yeah." Jeb was in awe of DG and her unborn child.How she could smile through everything amazed him.

" Your husband requested to know the gender. It's a girl."

Jeb smiled until he saw DG's worried face. " Did you want a boy?"

" I love my little girl. He's gonna beat me when he finds out. What if he hurts her?"

Jeb hugged DG. " If he beats you he'll see what a Cain man is capable of. What have you had to endure here?"

" Hell ,Jeb. My baby's the only blessing and you my friend." DG cried.

DG was right. Jeb ran when he heard screaming and crying later that night he ran to DG's room. She was using a force field to keep her husband from hitting her. Jeb threw him against the wall." You dare hit a pregnant woman! Whew ! You stink of liquor. You realize if you kill your own child ,a child half Ozian, all of the O.Z. will pour their wrath upon you with my Father leading the way."

The king belched loudly . " Bitch your lucky your friends here. Lucky for now! " He wobbled out of the room.

" DG ,are you okay?" He picked her up and carried her to her bed. She held tightly to his arm not letting go even when he placed her down.

" I hate it here! It was one thing to risk my life but my girl's. Oh!"

" What? What happened?"

" She's kicking. Feel." She placed his hand on her belly .

He felt a little kick. " This is so amazing! Have you thought about any names yet? She'll be here soon."

" I want to honor you Jeb. I want something that begins with a J."

" DG, I...I'm honored really. Are you sure you don't want something that begins with a C or W ?"

" I'm sure. What do you think of Jessica. Jess for short. Jeb and Jess ,it's cute!"

" I love it, Deege. Thank you." He hugged her but couldn't find the strength to pull away from her. He felt lightheaded. " Are you sure your not hurt? If he did anything to you I'd...kill him." He reluctantly moved and their foreheads touched. Their eyes met. " I really would DG. You don't deserve this, noone does."

DG's hand caressed his cheek. She looked at him in awe. " When did you become a man? How did I miss that?"

They stared at each other for what felt like an eternity then he found himself giving her a kiss ,a hard pressed kiss on her forehead. " Get some sleep my Queen." He walked away from her with his fingers his lips.

DG touched her forehead. " When did things change and why am I smiling?"

The next week DG walked into her study to find Jeb...and Raw. " Here for birth.Friend.Jeb sent me."

DG hugged Raw. " Thank you ,both of you." Raw saw the looks DG and Jeb each other. He smiled. " Leave alone ." He then whispered to DG. "You wonder if mutual . " He looked at Jeb then back to her. " It is. Wyatt was first love, crush even. This more. Your heart knows this." Raw left.

DG walked over to Jeb and placed her hands in his. " I loved your dad as more than a friend. You know this.What you don't know is it changed. I changed. Jeb what I'm trying horribly to say is -"

" I'm in love with you,Deege. I always have but my dad caught your eye first. Your beautiful and compassionate. So loyal and protective. I want you." He leaned in and kissed her gently. " I want you now."

DG blushed. " I love you but how can you find me attractive right now. I'm bloated and it looks like I swallowed a watermelon whole."

" Your kidding ,right. Deege I'm so attracted to you it literally hurts."

" Your serious. Make love to me."

" Not here. In your room. Someplace with cushioning for your back. Plus you and me naked under the sheets. Highly attractive." They walked to the room like they were still platonic friends but when the door shut Jeb kissed her with a passion only lover know of. He helped her take her gown off .

She saw him look at her with such lust. Tears formed in her eyes. " Thank you for making me feel like a goddess."

" You are a goddess. My goddess." He unbuttoned his shirt and took it off. She caressed his chest as he unbuckled his pants. When both were nude he led her by the hand to her bed. He gently laid her down. " Your beautiful my love.Do not believe otherwise."

" Some might think you odd for finding a bloated queen hot."

" Let them. " He started kissing her leg and worked his way up. " Women with life in them should never feel unattractive ,especially you ,my queen."

He spent the rest of the afternoon showing her how attractive he thought she was.
