Is this destiny?

Aiden was surprised when Sarah called for him to their master bedroom. She left to meet with her sisters only ten minutes ago and why did her mood change so suddenly? Sarah looks ready to draw blood.

He was on his way to play with the dogs but he had no courage to mention that so he followed after Sarah obediently.

'Must be the pregnancy hormones.', Aiden thought. 'I better not provoke her further…'

"What's going on, love?", Aiden asked sweetly when he closed the door behind them.

"We have a job to do…"

Sarah told Aiden about Gabriel's situation (that his in-laws are blocking the divorce), and she explained her plan: they will dig out all the dirt they can find related to Victoria's family.

Aiden excitedly hopped to the closet and returned with two laptops. One with Sigma and the other with Omega sign on it. They sat on the sofa next to each other and powered up their laptops.

Sarah glanced at Aiden. "You are happy."

"It's a long time since we did something like this.", Aiden explained the reason behind his big smile. "It reminds me of the time we spent as college students."

"I miss this. Carefree hacking just to mess with people. We should do it more often."

Aiden stifled a laugh. "Whatever you say, I'm in. What are we going to do with this information? Jeff is here and he usually deals with the next steps."

"We will suck dry their assets from here. They want money, we will take away everything they own. They will not know who hit them and from where. After we act, we will get a number of army members to watch them and if they try anything funny, they will be taken care of. As for the dirt we find, Sophia said that she will use it to force them to sign the divorce papers..."

Aiden saw that Sarah is energetic. Sarah was upset that Victoria got an easy exit and it seems that this is Sarah's way of getting her vengeance. Well, the only thing he can do is to help her out. The faster they finish, the more time Sarah will have to rest.

…

Sarah and Aiden finished before lunchtime.

They compiled documents, images, and video files, related to Victoria's parents and extended family. Incriminating personal and business data were included.

Sarah and Aiden created a report that is easy to follow before going to meet with Sophia and JoAnna.

JoAnna wanted to give Sarah a checkup and Aiden said that he will talk with Sophia about what they found related to Victoria's family.

"I will join you when we are done here. Don't do the heartbeat without me. I want to hear my daughter…", Aiden demanded.

"Why does he think it's a girl?", JoAnna asked Sarah when they left the study.

Sarah shrugged helplessly. She had no explanation for this. But she guessed that it's probably for the same reason as why she hopes it's a boy. She loves Aiden to the moon and back, and she would be delighted to have a mini-Aiden. Five of them, to be precise. She would snuggle with all her kids and melt from happiness.

JoAnna leaned closer and spoke in a half-whisper: "What will he do if it's a boy?"

"He said that we will keep on trying until we get a girl."

JoAnna rolled her eyes. "He just wants more sex."

"Don't we all?"

JoAnna was surprised by Sarah's response. Sarah would usually blush and avoid the topic, but this was unexpected. JoAnna was curious how far will Sarah go. "I thought you are having plenty."

"Me too, but the pregnancy is messing up with my body and it's never enough."

"It seems that it's messing with your personality as well.", JoAnna mumbled.

…

About one hour later, Sarah and Aiden exited the exam room with big smiles on their faces. It's less than a week how JoAnna gave to Sarah the last checkup, but it's always nice to hear that everything seems to be fine.

Because of Sarah's current situation, JoAnna is learning about prenatal care and necessary exams, so that she can ensure that Sarah and her baby are fine without the need to visit a gynecologist.

JoAnna was cleaning the equipment from the ultrasound jelly when she heard the knock on the door.

"Come in! Did you forget something?"

She assumed that Sarah and Aiden returned, they left a minute ago.

JoAnna turned toward the door and paused at the sight of Vasily. "Can I help you?"

"I heard that Sarah is here."

"You just missed her."

Vasily's eyes moved through the exam room and settled on the ultrasound machine. It didn't take him more than two seconds to connect all the dots… Sarah and Aiden being super clingy and always exchanging soft gazes, Aiden feeding Sarah and JoAnna reminding Sarah to take her vitamins... and the way Aiden is holding Sarah, with his hands always on her hips, or in the area of her belly... and now the ultrasound machine.

"Is Sarah pregnant?"

JoAnna frowned and he grinned.

"I knew it!"

JoAnna saw that Vasily is about to leave, and she panicked. She forgot about her safety. The only thing on JoAnna's mind was that Vasily is dangerous and that she needs to protect her baby-sister. "Where are you going?"

"To congratulate her."

"Really?"

Vasily observed JoAnna's fierce expression. "What did you think I am going to do? Is there a need to glare at me?"

"How about you drop the act, Uncle?" JoAnna's anger mixed with sarcasm. 

"What act?"

"Stop acting like a loving Uncle. We are all sick of it."

Vasily blinked a few times in confusion. JoAnna has a fun and bubbly personality, why is she looking at him like he is her mortal enemy? "Did I ever do something to you?"

"Let's see… other than stalking me since I was born, not much. But your men attempted to kidnap my older sister, and they succeeded to kidnap my younger one. Your men injected Aiden with synthetic drugs that put him into a coma and Sarah lost her child. To you, we are all pawns in your sick game, but for me, Sophia and Sarah are irreplaceable and so are our husbands and children. You touch one of us, it's like you touched all of us. I will never forgive you. None of us will. I want you to stay away from Sarah and if anything happens to her child, I will personally end you in ways you can't imagine. You already killed her baby, how many more deaths are needed until you are satisfied?"

Vasily observed JoAnna for some time and then he turned around and left without a word.

…

In Vasily's villa…

Vasily went to the study and poured himself a glass of vodka. He downed it and got another one before slumping on the sofa chair.

"Did something happen?"

Ivan's question pulled Vasily out of his daze. He didn't hear when Ivan entered… and he didn't realize that more than half an hour passed.

"I want you to give me all the medical files from three years ago, when we had Sarah and Aiden in our care. And get me information on all the doctors who did exams and procedures at that time."

Ivan was irritated that Vasily gave orders without answering his question. But he is with Vasily long enough to know that this is not a good time to ask questions.

"I will get to it right away.", Ivan said and left the room while rage bubbled inside him. 'Sarah, again! Everything is related to her! Unworthy spawn!'
