Angie looked expectantly at Wendy, willing herself to calm down as she waited to hear her news.

"Mom, " she began, "The good news is also that you will be a grandmother soon." Wendy rushed through her news, blushing slightly. However, Angie didn't noticed that and was not feeling the same as Wendy.

She raised her voice in disbelief. "I don't want that grandchild." She thought about the other girls, getting angry. "I am going to smack him!" She exclaimed. "Don't stop me, Wendy!"

Hearing voices from downstairs, Jordan frowned and left his reading room to investigate. He paused hearing the gentle sound of his wife's voice.

"Mom, Settle down!" He heard her say, "I am pregnant! This is the good news." She finished quietly. Jordan reached the stairs as the news was shared between the ladies below.

Angie began to understand, as Wendy nodded demurely in affirmation.

"Oh, Wendy, please come sit here and tell me about it." Angie put the broom aside and took Wendy's hands to help her sit on the sofa.

Hearing the exciting news that his wife was pregnant, Jordan clambered down the stairs.

"Yes mom" Wendy said as she pulled out a small paper to show Angie, "Look, this is an ultrasound of the baby." She handed the picture to shock Angie.

Angie opened the folded paper and stared at it for a long time before giving Wendy a hug and joyfully exclaiming, "I'm gonna be a grandmother!" She had been waiting a long time to hear the news that she would be a grandmother.

Jordan came up and pulled Wendy out of Angie's arms to hold her asking, "I'm going to be a father?" He looked down at Wendy, stunned by this sudden turn of events.

Wendy silently nodded as Jordan smiled at her.

The news sunk in, he was going to be a father! He was thinking, how he would have a child as cute as Nicole, when he felt a smack followed by more smacks.

Angie was hitting him soundly thinking about the bad news Wendy had told her earlier.

"Jordan, let's be clear on this, you have a child with another woman?" she railed at him. "Why?" she continued her assault. "When you have a wonderful wife, why would you sleep with another woman?"

Wendy reached to stop Angie's attack on Jordan, who was completely lost in thought. "You should be shot!" Angie went on with her tirade on an apparent catatonic Jordan.

"Mom, stop please." Wendy pleaded, "I don't know what I can do now." Wendy looked down sadly. She thought she needed to tell Angie what had happened. But she didn't want to see her worry.

Angie immediately promised, "Wendy, don't worry, we only admit your child. Jordan, ask that promiscuous woman to have an abortion!"

Jordan's wandering attention was drawn back to the present and the conversation when he heard the last part.

Jordan scowled as he thought about Sharon. "Mom, we can deal with the problem by ourselves." He announced, as he led his wife to the stairs.

Angie watched Jordan and Wendy go upstairs. "Be careful" Angie said in a worried tone.

Jordan peered down at his wife with a tender look, and slowed his pace.

As soon as they were in their bedroom, and the door was closed, Jordan flung his arms around Wendy.

He looked down and kissed her thinking about how lucky he felt. "Honey, please trust me." he said, tipping her face upwards to see her eye to eye. "I'm not the father of her child."

Jordan looked at Wendy hoping she believed his sincere admission that he didn't sleep with Sharon on that night!

Wendy gazed up at him; her mixed feelings made her hesitate for a long time before finally choosing to believe him.

She challenged him anyway, "I will ask for a paternity test when she has her child. If the baby is yours, I will divorce you." Wendy was willing to wait the eight months to know for sure. Besides, Lola had already asked Harry to look into this matter.

Jordan nodded firmly and took her in his arms, vowing he would take care of his growing family.

In Uthana.

Lola felt a mixture of happiness and anger as her call with Wendy ended.

"What's wrong?" Harry asked as he kissed Lola's small and angry lips.

Lola caught a glimpse of Harry as he took her in his arms and wondered if all men had extra-marital affairs?

Harry was a little concerned, "What's going on? Who phoned you?"

Lola sat on Harry's lap and told him as she wrapped her arms around his neck. "Wendy called me. She told me that she is pregnant." she paused, "She also told me another woman has claimed to be carrying my brother's child! It has upset me." she finished, pouting.

Lola did not believe her brother was a philanderer.

Harry nodded, as he listened.

"Please help my brother and sister-in-law investigate the person. I trust my brother and I want to clear his name!" Lola said fervently.

Harry nodded again. Of course, he would do anything for his wife! "What's her name? I will find the truth." He breathed in the intoxicating scent of Lola as he promised.
