She reached the restaurant in 20 minutes. She parked her car got out just as she started to walk to the entrance of the restaurant,saw a black car pulled into the parking lot near her car and Jacob got out of the car. "Oh! God! "  She blurted out. He was wearing a white shirt jeans and a jacket. Yeah! He wore almost  same as from her dream except the jacket. Suddenly she felt nervous and her stomach knotted . 'why is he here? she thought and mentally slapped her the next second for how stupid of her. Of course, he is the family more than her'. "Good evening Ms. Jacobson. You look beautiful " she snapped out of her thoughts by Jacob's voice. Then only she saw Jacob was already standing right in front of her smiling at her. " Uh? "she blinked at him" Sorry, you're saying something....? " He chuckled" I was saying good evening and you look beautiful " he said again. " Oh!  Good evening Mr. Gregory and thank you. You are also looking nice " she said shyly.Her cheeks tinted. " Thank you. Come, let's go inside " he said placing a hand at the small of her back walking with her into the restaurant like a gentleman. Ian and Lily were already there in the table with some of their relatives who wave at them from the seat inviting their attention and they walked to the table. Lily and Ian met them halfway and welcome them to the table.Lily looked beautiful in her mid night blue dress and Ian in his black tux. Lily took Elsa's hand and made her sat beside her. She leaned to her and whispered in her ear  "Don't get me wrong, you two look good together.... Like a couple". "What? " she whisper yelled at Lily. " shshsh...there are people. It just came to my mind.Am sorry but not sorry" Lily whispered to her mischievously. She just glared at her. And Lily winked at her in return. Jacob sat next to Elsa and Ian sat next to Lily. After a few minutes later others came. The waiters came bringing their drinks.All were served wine except Lily and Elsa. They opted orange juice. Ian stood up taking his glass in one hand and a spoon in other. He made a small sound by tapping the spoon on glass. "Can I have all your attention please!" he started "I'm glad you all are came despite the short notice. We invite you all to this family dinner to share this happy news with you all..." everyone looked at him, smile, frown, confusion are what he saw. "Yes! Lily is pregnant! We are having a baby" he finished. "Wow!  Congratulations! " George , a cousin was the first to comment followed by everyone."Congratulations"  that was Anna, another cousin. "congratulations, that's a great news"   Uncle Logan said. "Yes! Indeed a good news and a much awaited news I must say"  aunt Rita comment. "congratulations". Lily and Ian thanked them one by one after the rain of congratulations. They looked really happy and elited. "Congratulations "Elsa said " Thank you " Lily and Ian smiled at her. Lily squeezed her hand under the table. Elsa nodded at her. " Congratulations "Jacob said " Thank you brother " Ian replied. The waiters came back again for the order. They all ordered their food and ate it.  She felt nausea at the smell of different food together . She excused herself and headed to washroom, Lily followed her after a few minutes." Hey!  You okay?  " she asked Elsa entering the washroom seeing her. " Yeah! I'm okay, it just  the smell " she said rinsing her mouth. " Let's go" she said after a touch up and made sure she was okay.  The whole time  Elsa felt like Jacob was watching her and the thought made her nervous again. After desert and small talks, they all left once again congratulating Ian and Lily and the four were remained. After Jacob and Ian settling the bill they headed to the parking area. "That went really well this time unlike the others . They seemed really happy for us " Lily told, she was smiling ear to ear. " Yeah! It really was" Ian said. "Okay, time to go home. Good night brother. Good night Elsa" he added. "Good night Ian. Lily " she said hugging Lily her bye. " Good night " Jacob said got into his car. Lily and Ian's car was the first to pulled out of the parking then Elsa's and last Jacob's.             *******            Jacob's POV I came back home after office and decided to get ready for the family dinner arranged by Ian to announce the pregnancy. After a quick hot shower, I changed into a simple white shirt and jeans paired with a jacket and drove to the restaurant. Pulling into the parking I saw Elsa. She looked very beautiful in that white dress. I got out of the car and went to her.  I wished her and told her she looked beautiful. She seemed lost in thought.I wished her again. "I said good evening and you look beautiful". "Thank you. You are looking nice"  she said, her cheeks tinted. "come, let's go inside " I put my hand in the small of her back and we walked together in to the restaurant. Lily made Elsa sat beside her and I sat beside Elsa. I saw from the corner of my eye that Lily leaned to Elsa and whispering some thing. And Elsa glaring her. After the drinks served Ian told everyone the news of ''Lily was pregnant ". Everyone congratulate them including me and Lily who knows well who is really pregnant here.The waiters brought us the food and all started to eat. I saw Elsa was feeling not okay. She excused and went to washroom. I wanted to follow her and see Is she okay? but I can't. After a few minutes Lily followed her. They came back together after some time,10 minutes exactly I must say. Those 10 minutes God knew how I spent. It was really torture to saw she was not okay but I can't do anything except wait for her to come back to the table and see if she is okay. I know it's due to the pregnancy and I have to act and think wisely but I can't help it. I was continuously watching her if she was okay. She even saw me looking at her Dinner went well and we left the restaurant. I  followed Elsa's car to ensure she was safely reached home or not. I drove to home after I saw she got inside the apartment.
