Reborn ghost seeing lady is pampered by her ex husband-Chapter 495: A Lee daughter is pregnant!

This same night, Phoebe was awoken by the sound of something scratching on her window. She opened her eyes, sat up and threw a pillow at the window.

"It is bedtime, don't you guys sleep?" she croaked out crabbily.

Her voice woke David up, he sat up and looked in the direction of the window. "What's wrong? Is it another ghost?"

She nodded, waved her hand and the window opened. The air grew colder as a figure emerged out of the darkness-a man, translucent and pale, his eyes dark with sorrow. The Saxon spirit, America and Sylvester came out of the space to see what help the ghost needed to come looking for a shaman in the night.

"Do you need my help?" Phoebe asked.

"Please," the ghost said in a voice that was softer than the wind rustling through dry leaves. "I am Stanley Basten, I was in the underwater hotel that collapsed. I need you to deliver a message to my wife Catia Basten. I heard from others that you do this sort of thing."

Phoebe and the ghosts exchanged solemn glances before she turned to the ghost. "Speak and I will deliver your words to her."

"Tell her..." the ghost hesitated and sobbed, "Tell her that I am sorry for taking on that job and breaking my promise never to do dangerous work again. Tell her that I am sorry I could not make it home to her, that I held her locket in my hand in my final moments." His voice cracked and Phoebe felt a pang of empathy pierce her heart. David sensed the change in her, and he put his hands on her waist. "And tell her....tell her not to mourn me for too long. I want her to marry again, she deserves to live a full life." It finished off.

Phoebe nodded, her voice soft, she replied, "I will tell her. You can move on with ease knowing that your love will reach her one last time."

She opened her mouth to ask what had happened down there, but light flashed, the ghost vanished, and Phoebe was rewarded with energy.

"Dammit! she muttered. "Back to bed everyone." She sighed, pushed David back down and closed her eyes.

The peaceful breakfast of the next morning was interrupted by the announcement of the arrival of an unexpected visitor, Mrs. Anna Lee, Shanna's mother.

"What?" Jennie screamed.

While everyone was surprised by Anna Lee's arrival, it was Jennie's reaction that had them astounded. She was gazing at the casual dress that she was wearing in horror as if it had been stained with blood or some other rotten thing.

"She can't see me dressed like this." Jennie wailed. She wanted to rush upstairs and change into something better, but she did not get the opportunity because Anna stormed into the dining room like a storm on heels. The quick clicking of her high heels was a warning of the danger that had come.

Collin jumped to his feet when he saw his mother-in-law drag his distressed wife in. She had not come alone, Minka followed closely right behind her.

"Mrs. Lee." Her name burst from his lips, only to fold his lips when Anna shot him with a scathing gaze. Her face burned red with fury, almost the color of a boiled lobster. It was obvious that she was unhappy about something which had to do with Shanna judging by the way she had shoved her into a chair.

"My goodness Anna! What did the girl do for you to treat her this way?" Jennie rushed to check on her future daughter in law. "My dear, are you alright? Did something happen at your house? Is your mother being her normal annoying self?" She probed, her eyes moving back and forth between Anna and Shanna who was now sniveling.

Collin moved to approach his wife, ignoring the fierce intense gaze of his mother-in-law. Everyone else wondered what it was that had Anna Lee up in arms and Shanna down in tears.

Grandma Mayfair came to one conclusion only, Anna must have found out about the secret wedding at the court, nothing else could have infuriated her more than that. Collin who was now comforting Shanna thought the same thing, so he made a decision to shield Shanna by taking all the blame.

Phoebe drew the same conclusion, and she eyed the closest exit point out of the dining room, as did Andre. Luke was unbothered, he was calm and steady. A doctor like him was used to chaos, normally that chaos included blood and an operating room. To him, this was nothing.

Collin gulped and faced his mother-in-law. "Mrs. Lee..." he started in a serious but apologetic voice. "I can honestly explain, please calm down." His lips twitched into something resembling a smile.

Anna released a scoff so sharp that it could slice through the loaf of bread that was on the table. "Explain!" She run her fingers through her uncombed hair, from her disorderly state anyone could tell that she had rushed to the Mayfair house straight out of bed. "Okay begin by explaining to me in great detail how you got my daughter pregnant out of wedlock." Her wide eyes glared at him fiercely like a tigress guarding her cubs. Only, in this case one of those cubs had been touched by someone.

The Saxon spirit quickly sealed Phoebe's thoughts, shielding them from being seen to avoid trouble. A sudden hush fell over the room, those chewing like grandma Mayfair and Phoebe stopped midway. Grandma Mayfair's fork even fell out of her hand.

"Pregnant!" David was the first to react. He mouthed the word, stunned by the revelation. "Wow Collin you do not waste time now do you!" His words came with a smile which dropped immediately Phoebe pinched him, they were almost in the same predicament.

Anna's eyes drifted from David back to Collin. "Cat caught your tongue. Speak! Tell your parents about the shame you have brought upon the respected house of Lee." She ordered him.

Nervous because he too was finding out about this for the first time, Collin opened his mouth, but no words came out, he wiped cold sweat and stared at his father for help.

Edward took the initiative to take control of the situation after all, this was his first grandchild. It could not be pointed at as source of shame by the Lee's. "Anna you must be pissed off as hell but please let us talk about this in a calmer environment, shouting and pointing fingers is not going to help as the deed is already done. We need to forge a way forward from this." His calm countenance could not depict the excitement that danced within him, he was about to become a grandfather. A little Mayfair baby was on the way. Would it be red or black haired? Maybe a mixture.... what was in between red and black?

"Yes please Anna, listen to Edward. Come this way." Jennie held her by the hand and urged her to follow her to the living room. She was as excited as Edward, the deed was done, finally she could start sharing baby pictures again.

"Congratulations Collin and Shanna, I am honestly happy for the both of you. Oh it will be nice to hear the sound of a crying baby in this house and I get to see another generation of Mayfair's, ha-ha." Grandma Mayfair smiled widely.

Phoebe chuckled lightly.
