Something was wrong, something was horribly wrong. Over the last few weeks everything had started to change, Pearl had become distant and seemed to be hiding something. Jasper had tried to figure out what could possibly be wrong but couldn’t find an answer, sure she would ask questions and what ever answer Pearl gave her she would look into as quickly as possible.  It just never seemed to add up, it was just frustrating her to no end. But she had no choice but to play Pearl's game, she couldn’t force her lover to tell her what was wrong, All she could do was wait.<br/><br/>Jasper's plans had gone through without a hitch, Peridot had paid off and closed all of Pearl's debts. Making sure that the banks knew up front not to process anymore payments on the accounts. Pearl was now a free woman able to fully enjoy her life. Jasper had hoped when Pearl found out that it would take some of the stress away from her small lover, it didn’t seem to help or Pearl just didn’t notice that she suddenly had no bills to pay.<br/>As winter started to show and weather started to change the family ski trip was planned and booked, Christmas gifts were purchased and stashed away from prying eyes and clothes were packed. The family met at the airport and took off to the north, leaving behind any chaos or worries that followed them. Well that’s what Jasper had thought.<br/><br/>When the arrived at the giant cabin in the middle of no where it was made very clear her holidays were going to be spend worrying, Pearl was sick; sick enough that she spent most of the morning in the bathroom. When Jasper tied to stay her mother chased her away, commenting on how she would stay and take care of her future daughter in law .<br/><br/>Blue smiled as she looked at Pearl watching the poor sick woman curled back into bed “Nothing dear, In just wanted to know when you plan to tell Jasper that you’re pregnant” she replied calmly as she took a sip of her hot cocoa, Blue had seen the signs the days after thanks giving. Pearl had instantly started glowing; she had said nothing not wanting to worry the poor woman. But now nearly a month later and Pearl hadn’t noticed herself that she was with child.<br/><br/>“I also noticed you’ve been a little distracted lately, you haven’t been seeking Jasper out for comfort instead for the entire flight you focused on reading a book or interacting with Mala.” She was worried the new child was going to cause a rift in her youngest daughters new relationship. After all they had only been together for such a short time that such news could easily cause second thoughts and horrible doubts in ones mind.
