"Why do I feel so dizzy and tired lately?" Heather
thought to herself. Then, like a movie set in rewind she got
a flashback of about 2 months earlier. She was with her soon-
to-be-ex-husband, Jay Maxwell in their old apartment. The
divorce hearing was in 2 days and she wanted so desperately to
save her marriage. She was even willing to overlook the fact
that Jay had been having an affair with her longtime friend and
co-worker, Shari Vanderbilt. She and Shari had both been working
in Heather's father, Eric Martin's, cosmetic company for longer
than Heather would care to admit. She had always had a trusting
and close relationship with her until she found out she had been
sleeping with her husband! Heather got Jay drunk, then started
going down memory lane. Knowing full well that it was the perfect
time of the month for her to conceive, she got into bed with the
man she thought was the love of her life and tried to make a
baby.
"That just can't be!" Heather said outloud when the
shock finally hit her. "Did I actually conceive a baby that
night? No it is highly unlikely! This would ruin everything! I
am finally putting my life back together. I was just promoted to
President of "Youth Look Beautiful". I have so many new
responsibilities at the office. I want to show everyone that I
didn't become head of a whole division just because my name is
Heather Martin Maxwell! I work very hard and I think I
deserved that promotion! And then there is Kristoff...sweet and..
dependable Kristoff. That man has made me feel alive again. I
really think I could fall in love with him so easily. We needed
each other so badly when both our marriages were crumbling in
around us. He was as depressed as I was when Vanessa took Amanda
on that job in Europe. He told her to choose what was more
important and her career won! She must have been blind not to see
what a great guy Kris is. He told me that he is falling in love
with me, now this. How can I tell the man that I am falling in
love with that I am pregnant with my ex-husband's child? How
will he react? Never mind that. What about Jay? He is going
to marry that bitch as soon as the waiting period is over! The
last thing he will want is a child with me. Not now!
Heather snapped out of it really quick as Kristoff
came into her office. "Hi, bosslady" he teased. "Hi" she said
back, seeming distracted. "Are you ok, Heather? You seem like
you are worried about something. Do you want to talk about
it?" Kris was getting worried himself. "I'll be alright. I
was felling a little dizzy but I'm fine now. So how is your
day going so far?" she asked, trying to change the subject.
"I was having a good day until I walked in here and saw your
beautiful face so distorted. You look as white as a goast.
If you don't feel well I can take you to see my sister-in
-law, Tonya. She is a wonderful doctor." He could tell that
made her feel uncomfortable. "That's really sweet of you to
be concerned, really, Kris, but I am fine. If I need to go to
the doctor I will give Tonya a call. She really is a very
nice person. I trust her. I will be fine, really" she
insisted. "O.K. but I don't want to see anything happen to
you. Not now. Not after the way everything changed between us
last night." he reaches out for her hand "I really meant what
I said to you last night. I want to move on with my life and
I want to do it with you. I love you, Heather Maxwell!" Kris
declared. "Ooh, Kris, you are the sweetest man. I don't want
to cause any problems for you. My father would have your head
on a silver platter if he found out you and I were together.
My dad adores you, now, but noone is good enough for his
little girl. It could cause problems for you in the office...."
Kris interupts her with a kiss. "I don't give a damn what
anyone has to say about it. I want to be with you and if you
want to be with me then there should be no problem. Do you want
to be with me, Heather?" he asked cautiously. "I want to be
closer to you, Kris, I really do, but I have to work through
some things, you know, sort out some stuff. It is not you, I
have to get my life back on track, first before I make a real
commitment. Do you understand?" Heather felt really bad hurting
him. "I totally understand, sweetheart. I still am torn between
missing Vanessa and wanting to kill her at the same time. I
miss Amanda so much sometimes it is almost like a physical pain.
You will understand someday when you have a child of your own."
Kris said. Heather looks down at the floor "Yeah, someday..." she
whispers.
Heather visits Dr. Tonya for a pregnancy test.
Kristoff has a talk with his brother, Shemar, about his relationship with Heather.
Hanna and Jennifer have a heart-to-heart.
I can't decide! Let me sign the guestbook 
and I will come back later!
