One last scene and we will be finished filming, then we will start promoting and traveling more.

Jacob refuses to speak to his father, and I'm not happy with it. I lost my father, and I know what it feels like to know him, but not be able to communicate. We've only been back in Hawaii a day, and I know I have to talk to Grayson eventually, but like I told him I need time.

I thought I had grown out of my insecurities, and I'm sure that's why it took so much time to conjure up enough bravery to finally approach Grayson, since he did avoid me. Maybe if I demanded his attention that night, we wouldn't be where we are today.

Cecil and some crew members know about my pregnancy. Word gets around fast, and I do nothing as they all tease Preston about being a dad. He denies it, but nobody listens. His vasectomy made it impossible for him to give me a child and they all still tease, which is cruel.

The very last scene we shot was a love scene, and it was very hard to do for both of us. He still begs me to come back, even though I'm pregnant.

I'm still struggling with sickness. I'm taking some prenatal pills that are supposed to help, but they just make me sleepy. I'm constantly exhausted, and all I want is to go to my home in L.A. Preston still has his things there because he hasn't had much time.

Everyone clapped and cheered as we wrapped. I stood and bowed, and did finally crack a smile.

Tonight we have a party to celebrate, then tomorrow we are headed home. School will be starting soon, so we need to settle in and get back into our routines.

I wore yet another designer dress. It's a long white dress that flows with satin and sheer material, a sweetheart neckline with a sapphire blue belt, and heels. I decided to wear my hair up and out of my face.

"Be good for Wendy, and we can get up early to go home." I said.

"Okay, Mom." He gave me a fake smile. He is still so hurt because of me and his father. I won't let Grayson take the blame alone, I shouldn't have told Jacob and got his hopes up.

Cecil insisted on escorting me to the party. Tonight will be the night the world figures out Preston and I are no longer an item.

"We've worked together a lot." Cecil makes a statement.

"Yeah." I agreed.

"That means I can tell you're not okay, neither is Preston, so if he's not the father who is?"

"Jacob's dad."

He nodded like he may have known, but wasn't sure.

"He's not going to be in the picture for this one either?" He doesn't know about our history.

"Yes, he will, but we have to work some things out. He honestly didn't know about Jacob until recently." I said.

"Neither has many people and that's okay, but a father should always be in his child's life." He said as he drove.

"I know this, but things are just complicated."

He pulls up to a marina and parks the car. "I know who Jacob's father is, and from what I've seen, he has the makings of a terrific dad. You'll figure things out, and it'll get better."

I gave him a warm smile. "Thanks."

He led me up to a yacht while photos are taken, and Cecil steps off to the side so I can answer a few questions. This isn't a formal event, but we do welcome what press we can get when it comes to a new movie. It'll still be in production and not released until next year, but we will still promote our work.

Everyone stands around with their glasses of champagne, while Cecil gets me a glass of sparkling water.

"You look beautiful." Preston approached me from behind and wrapped his arms around me.

"Thank you." I looked back and gave him a smile.

"Dance with me."

If there's one thing I love about Preston, it's that he's forgiving and very kind.

We swayed to the music.

"You're pregnancy makes you glow."

"I'm having a hard time believing that, since I've never been so sick."

"I'd never know, blondie. I miss you."

"Preston, please don't."

"Okay, I won't, but I won't walk away from our friendship. I know you love him, but I'll never just walk away. You have a friend in me, babe."

"I appreciate that, Preston."
