Jim stands at the threshold, his eyes are locked onto mine, his vulnerability is laid bare. He seems to have genuinely suffered during our time apart, and part of me still cares deeply for the man I once loved, and the other part of me feels satisfied. He made me go through so much, he deserves it too.His voice, a mixture of remorse and hope, finally breaks the silence. "Anastasia, I'm so sorry for everything I put you through. I know I've made terrible mistakes, and I can't change the past, but I'm willing to do whatever it takes to make things right."The sincerity in his words tugs at my heartstrings, and I can't deny that I've missed the connection we shared. But the scars run deep, and the memory of his threats and actions continues to haunt me.He always apologizes and nothing ever changes, I love him, but I don’t want to get hurt anymore.Jonathan, always the voice of reason, chimes in, "Ana, we're here to support you no matter what you decide. Jim knows he has a lot to make u
The morning sunlight spills into the room, casting a warm, golden glow across the bed. I find myself enveloped in Jim's arms, a place that had once been so familiar, and yet had felt like a distant memory. I missed the feeling of being in his embrace, of the warmth and comfort he provides.Jim stirs beside me, his eyes slowly blinking open. His gaze meets mine, and we share a moment of silent understanding. It's a new day, a fresh start, and we both yearn for the chance to rebuild what was once broken.Jim leans in, planting a soft kiss on my forehead. "Good morning," he whispers."Good morning," I reply, my voice laced with a mixture of uncertainty and hope.We lay there for a while, neither of us rushing to break the comforting silence. It's as though time stands still, giving us the opportunity to savor this moment of togetherness.Then, Jim's stomach growls, and we both share a chuckle. "I promised you breakfast in bed," he says, a hint of mischief in his eyes.With a gentle kiss
“Baby let’s go for therapy together” I say“Ummm…. If you insist, I planned on going there today, for just a stop and all of that” Jim answers“Well then let me get ready” I say“I’ll tell Harry to warm the car” Jim says“Well, I would have loved it if you and I could spend some moments together in the bathroom” I say, walking up to Jim and drawing lines down his chest“I want nothing more than to have you naked and moaning my name but I don’t want to hurt our baby” Jim tells me, and he kneels down to place a kiss on my stomach.And for some reason, I can feel the connection between the two of them.“Doggy” I blurt out“Princess, we have the rest of our lives, let’s get ready” Jim smiles, placing a soft kiss on my lips.I pull him back, deepening the kiss. His lips are warm and soft as they parted lightly, allowing my tongue to slip inside. Our tongues move in sync.Our bodies are pressed together against the wall, and we’re both breathing heavily as the thoughts of him in me sends s
"What do you want from me Jessica?" I ask sternly, my voice unwaveringJessica's eyes flicker with a mixture of emotions, her expression revealing a hint of surprise and uncertainty. "Your baby?" she asks, her voice laced with a tinge of disbelief, her eyes darting to my stomachI nod, unable to hide the warmth in my heart when I think about the child Jim and I are expecting. "Yes, our baby," I confirm, a smile forming despite the unease of this unexpected encounter.Jim steps in, his presence a reassuring shield. "We're building a life together, Jessica," he explains, his voice steady. "This is our future, and we're committed to it."Jessica's features darken, her mask of innocence slipping away to reveal something more sinister. "Jim," she begins, her tone laced with a sense of urgency, "you don't understand. You can't just walk away from what we had."I exchange a quick glance with Jim, a sense of discomfort settling over us. Our past with Jessica is a complicated and annoying one,
“Why are you here?” Jim questions, his tone a mixture of surprise and annoyance. As the figure comes into focus, it becomes clear that it’s Jessica, Jim’s estranged wife.A moment of tension fills the room as Jim and Jessica exchange glances. I remain by Jim’s side, offering silent support. Jessica begins to speak, her words carrying the weight of unresolved emotions. “Jim, you left me without a second thought. You knew I still loved you, and yet you walked away.”Jim maintains his composure, but I can sense the internal conflict within him. Jessica’s unexpected appearance dredges up the past, reopening wounds that time has not completely healed.“I had my reasons, Jessica,” Jim responds, his voice steady. “We both know our marriage was strained, and we couldn’t continue like that. It was the best decision for both of us.”Jessica’s eyes well up with tears as she continues to express the pain she endured after Jim’s departure. The air in the room becomes heavy with unresolved history,
“Did you leave because we were not good enough for each other or because I lost our child……” Jessica trails off, her eyes darts to mine, and it feels like a sharp sword that pierced meI free my hands from Jim’s and go ahead to take a seat on the couch.“Jessica, for once, you know I never blamed you for the loss of that child, but even once”“You know you don’t have to say it Jim, oh hell, your actions said a lot of things that day, I remember it, it’s as clear as day to me….. the accident changed my life. And I know you blame me for leaving the house that day. You blame me for not taking good care of my, our unborn child, you’ve always blamed me Jim and that was unfair, it has always been an unfair thing to do to me. So why did you do that to me then? Jim why?” Jessica yells, all her comportment going into the drain“I’m sorry I made you feel that way” Jim’s words come out, and it surprises me, it surprises me how much Jim has changed after a therapy session.“There was no day that
“Jim!” I say again, this time around, I walk up to meet him.“You shouldn’t see me like this Anastasia, please don’t touch me” he says, his voice is stern and somehow, it is still laced with love.“Jim what did you do?” I question again, this time around, demanding an answer to my question.“I promise you that nothing happened,” Jim says, walking into the bathroom to clean up after himself.“Jim don’t lie to me and don’t walk away from me, because I swear to you that I’ll leave this house, walking away from you forever Jim and you can do no shitty thing about it, just watch and see” I say, panic taking the best of me.“Princess……” Jim trails off, his eyes meeting my burning gaze and he quickly looks away“I’ll ask you for the last time Jim, what the fuck happened there and why are you back here with blood in your hands? Are you a murderer?” I state, exasperatingly“She tried to attack me with a knife, and then she was going to come for you, she claimed that……….Jim’s words are interru
“Anastasia, I thought we were over that, that happened months ago, let’s just let it go?”“No, Jim, no! I want to know why you helped him when you saw he was in jail, for crying out loud, you knew he killed my mother” I say, and tears gather in my eyes when the memories come rushing back.“I’m sorry princess, I don’t want you to cry, sincerely I don’t want you crying, please don’t do that” he says“This pregnancy comes with so many emotions, Jim, and I really miss my mother. Being with yours felt like I had my mother back, she is exactly like mine, the way she talks, the way she cooks and even the way she looks Jim…. I wish I could hold my mom one last time and tell her how much I love her” I cry, and Jim pulls me into his hands, and I sob freely.“You did not deserve any of that Anastasia, and my mom is yours too, I’m happy to share her with you” he comforts meI pull away from his embrace, “you see babe, that’s why I’m so furious whenever I see my father. I just want to rip his head

The scent of pancakes fills the air when, suddenly, a sensation unfamiliar sends a shiver down my spine. A warm rush, and I freeze.My water breaks."Jim!" I call, my voice betraying a mix of excitement and anxiety. In an instant, he's by my side, a mixture of concern and joy etched on his face.He guides me gently to the car, the anticipation of the imminent arrival of our little one palpable in the air. The drive to the hospital feels like a whirlwind of emotions, the rhythmic hum of the engine punctuated by the intensity of each contraction.Jim's reassuring presence grounds me as we navigate the hospital's corridors, the anticipation building with each step. The medical team takes charge, their efficiency a comforting backdrop to the rollercoaster of sensations enveloping me.The delivery room becomes a san
It’s been two weeks since Jim proposed, and we finally decided to get married.Our families are present here in New Zealand, and my growing stomach a revelation to the family that were about to build together.Jim’s mother and my father insisted that the wedding be done in one of the biggest churches…It’s a night to the wedding and I’ve been too eager to sleepAs the night wraps its comforting arms around us, Kendra and I find ourselves in a room, surrounded by the soft glow of fairy lights. The air is filled with a mix of excitement and tranquility, a prelude to the significant day that awaits us tomorrow, my wedding day."Anastasia, can you believe it's finally here? Your wedding day! I mean if we were to have this conversation years back, there’s no way I would have believed that you’re going to get married before me, but here you are sissy, and I can’t lie, I am so proud of you and of how far you have come in this journey of life, despite the setbacks… I’m always rooting for you,
We freshen up, the anticipation of an evening of elegance and gastronomy adding an extra beat to our hearts.In the soft glow of our bedroom, Jim and I stand facing our wardrobe, selecting the perfect attire for our evening at Le Paragon. I run my fingers over the silky fabric of a deep burgundy dress."What do you think of this one?" I ask Jim, contemplating my choice of outfitJim, a black suit in hand, smiles appreciatively, "it’s Stunning princess, It'll complement the ambiance of the restaurant perfectly.""And what about you, Mr. Dan? Going for the classic black?""Always a safe bet, don't you think?" He teasesAs I slip into the dress, Jim takes a step back, his eyes reflecting admiration."You look incredible, Anastasia." Jim compliments.And the one thing about Jim is that he never forgets to compliment me…. He never forgets."Thank you, Jim. Now, let's make sure you're equally dashing." I say, blushing.We share a moment of laughter as Jim adjusts his tie, the meticulous car
The soft hues of dawn filter through the curtains, coaxing us into wakefulness. As I open my eyes, Jim stirs beside me, his gaze meeting mine in the gentle morning light."Good morning my Prince Charming.""Morning, beautiful." Jim yawns“How was your night?” I ask“It was good, slept like a baby and that’s only possible when I’m with you” Jim replies, making me smile.Our dialogue begins, setting the tone for the day ahead. The idea of a relaxing morning unfolds, and a spark of spontaneity lights up our conversation."What if we start the day with something different? How about a soak in the hot tub?" I suggest"That sounds like a fantastic idea. Let's do it." Jim saysOur dialogue turns into a playful exchange as we make our way to the inviting warmth of the hot tub. The bubbles swirl around us, and the aroma of fresh coffee mingles with the crisp morning air."This is bliss. We should do this more often. Plus it’s so relaxing for myself and for the baby” I say."Agreed. It's the pe
“So pretty, what do you have for me?” Jim asks and I rest against his chest,"Jim, do you ever think about how we got here? It feels surreal." I ask"Absolutely, princess. Remember the uncertainties at the beginning? Now, look at us.""The twists and turns were worth it. This place, this moment, it's a testament to us." I say, my mind racing back to the memories that we shared together.Jim's fingers trace patterns on my back, his touch a silent acknowledgment of the intimacy between us."Every step led us to this. From uncertainty to a haven far from everything." Jim says and I smile because I know it’s true.So much uncertainty from the beginning, but we never gave up on each other, we we’re always with each other, every step of the way, despite the situations that embraced us."It's like we're in a different world here." I say, and I’m happy about it"Our world, away from it all."The dialogue dances between us, revisiting milestones and deepening our connection."Our shared advent
