“So, here is to goodbye right?”

Liam asked Ruby, as they stopped in front of where the helicopter that was going to take them back to the city was, she turned to him and nodded.

They were leaving first and Liam would go later, she wished there was more she could say but goodbye is what it should be, they met unexpectedly and now it was time for them to go their separate ways and she wasn’t going to do anything to change that, it was better that they part ways like this than, well she didn’t even want to think about it.

“Thank you, Liam,”

She said after a long pause, she was indeed grateful to him for a lot of things.

“Wow, it kind of feels surreal that we are not going to see each other again after today, I don’t know how I am going to get used to being in the same city as the woman I want and not being able to be with her,”

“Liam, I thought we already talked about this? Please don’t do this,”

    The next morning she was up early, it took her a while to remember she was no longer on the island and this was her house, she knew it would be like that for now and she might finally get used to it after a lot of time has past and she wasn’t going to rush it, she felt nauseous and hurriedly got off the bed to throw up, she hated that she was sick on her first day back from the jungle but she already knew that she had passed her limit while she was still there, she would go get prescriptions from the nearby clinic later but for now, she took her bath, brushed her teeth and lay back on the bed.“This feels different,”She said not knowing if she missed waking up and doing her rounds and then making sure to bath and feed Kristen, she missed the child so much.“And her dad too,”The voice in her head whispered.“Nope,”She responded getting off the bed again, she still needed to clean up but she wasn’t ready for that hard work yetAfter taking the drugs, she checked the morning news and

    “Thank you for all your hard work, you guys are amazing,”Liam said to the guys he had been working with for the past couple of days, he was finally going to leave the island, he had done his part here and it was time to leave.The past couple of days had them finding out more and more shocking details on the island, the number of crazy things that were being discovered here was shocking, the most shocking was the number of unidentified remains of dead people, it was alarming the number but he was already prepared for it, yes, Annette’s diary and Annabelle’s story gave in a clue that each discovery proved to be true, each new findings made it even more emotional the kind of things the women went through but it was all over now.“Stay safe out there,”He called out as a finally greeting as he headed to the spot used as a terminal, he looked back as he got closer, the island was now a deserted place, it wasn’t fit for living in the first place, and the hospital still remained and a few

    “Why? Did I make you mad? Well, you should be, right along with being scared for yourself and the people you hold there because no one of them will be safe, you should work on your punch too, that barely did a thing,”The idiot said, and Liam wanted to kill him there and then, if the officers didn’t come in to stop him, he was afraid that he would have done it, law be damn!“Let’s take him back, you don’t need to let him get to you, he is all talk now,”One of the officers calmed him down, Liam raised his hands in surrender and they let him go, he fixed his shirt and cleared his throat.“I am sorry about that,”He apologized.“It is cool, he deserves to be beaten but you shouldn’t do it, You did good man, you did good and we will take it from here, you can take a rest, don’t let his words bother you,”The office said and Liam nodded, there was no point in letting Sloan’s words get to him, those were mere words that hold no power, the man was just saying that when he had a hard life ah

    After taking his bath, he walked downstairs to the kitchen praying that his mom would be anywhere else but there but, the woman was sitting prettily in the kitchen, she dropped the paper she held when he walked in and smiled at him, he so wanted to run back to his room but he was hungry and he needed to take medication for his migraine.“Mom, don’t talk to me, I just came here to eat,”He warned as he sat down.“I haven’t even said a single word to you, and how did I go from a caring mom who only wants what’s best for his child to a nagger?”She asked, getting up and coming closer, he ignored her and started earning his breakfast, as usual, the food was top-notch, and he kind of missed the food here.“Now he is ignoring me,”She complained and he rolled his eyes and continued eating, he wondered why he hadn’t seen his dad around but he wasn’t about to engage his mom in any talk.“Say something, all I do is be a caring mom, is it so wrong to care about one’s son?”She asked.“I didn’t

    It was getting out of hand, that’s all Ruby could think of as she got into her car exactly two weeks after she returned from Cacko, she was still not getting any better and it has reduced only to morning, she woke up each morning feeling like hell and can not function for the first one or two hours, throwing up has become a part of her daily routine, she just couldn’t figure out what was wrong with her which is why after the court today, she was going straight to the clinic to get some test done, she thought it would be fine but two weeks was a long time to not get better already, and she was starting to get worried which is why she stopped taking any pills.She got into her car and drove towards the court house, this was her second visit in two weeks, last week that bastard had not bothered to show up and when her lawyer had reached out to his lawyer, he had given some excuse as to why he wasn’t present and they had rescheduled it to today, she hoped everything goes fine today, she w

    “You are a doctor too and you know exactly how the woman's body works so you should know the symptoms you have been having are all related to pregnancy and the test just confirmed it, if you still doubt it then you can try somewhere else just to clear off all doubt,”The doctor responded.“That’s what I will do, thank you for your time,”She said, got up and left the doctor’s office, all through the drive to a laboratory, her mind kept on going to how impossible this was, what she couldn’t get was why she was hoping that it would be true when she already knew that it wasn’t true, it wasn’t, she spent five years trying to get pregnant, taking all those fertility pills and all, nothing happened so why would she be thinking that now that she wasn’t doing any of those then she would suddenly be pregnant? That’s not possible.When she got to the laboratory, she asked to see the person in charge and asked that her sample be collected and handled with care, as they drew her blood for the sec

    She whispered as hot tears burned down her eyes, she let them flow freely, this was something she never thought would happen to her, something she never, she got off her restroom after taking a bath and went to lay down in her bedroom, she spent the rest of the afternoon just laying there with no thoughts at all, her head was blank as she waited to wake up from her dream but nothing happened, she finally got up after a whole and took off her clothes, she stood in from of her mirror staring at her body, it did look like she was pregnant but she felt it could be her own projection, she just couldn’t conclude, she wasn’t letting her believe it, she went to bed while doing her best to not have any thoughts but it was hard.The next morning, Ruby was up early, she needed to be at the hospital because she had a scheduled delivery but she had called in sick and had a different doctor help with the delivery, she was already thinking of taking a leave to care for herself and make sure she is a

    One year later…Ruby stared at the pregnancy kits she placed on the restroom table and blinked waiting patiently for it to read, she was counting the seconds until it would be done and as the urine flowed through, she saw the first line and smiled proudly, but she waited for them all to be done and yes, she was pregnant again, exactly a year after she gave birth to her baby son, Kelly was going to be a big brother and Kristen would be a big sister too for the second time.“Welcome to the family,”She whispered to her unborn child as she held her stomach, she quickly disposed of the kits, she had felt weird for days now and had decided to check it and yes, she was carrying.One year in marriage and it felt like a honeymoon every day in her home, Liam was the universe’s gift to her, not just Liam, but his family too, they made her forget her horrible first experience and it was beyond what she could have ever imagined, if someone had told her back when Richard had broke her heart that s

    “Is it true what my wife was screaming about last night?”Luca asked him as soon as he got to work the next day, it was still hard for him to believe that he was getting married on Wednesday.“Yes, she decided we should be married before our baby is born, and managed to get every one of the ladies on her side so I have to be married by Wednesday which is five days, wait, make that four days away,”He said and Luca started laughing at him.“What’s so funny Luca?”He asked.“You sound like they are forcing you to get married,”He said still laughing, force? No way! He was happy, beyond happy that Ruby wanted to marry him but he was just a little bit scared that she might change her mind, she was pregnant and if she adds the wedding stress to it, she might back out and he didn’t want that.“Are you feeling like it is forced? You are frowning Liam, you want to marry her right?”Luca asked as if that was even a question.“Of course, why would you ask that, you know just how much I love tha

    Liam didn’t think he heard her right, maybe he had a little too much cake to eat at Nathan’s and Emily’s wedding, he knew he shouldn’t have eaten so much but it was so sweet.“You want to marry me right?”Ruby asked again and he finally came back to his senses.“Of course, I gave you a ring, remember? I want to marry you,”He answered and she smiled brightly.“Then let’s get married, I don’t want a big wedding like that of Emily and Nat,”She said and he just stared at her“Wait, what? You want us to get married this week? Ruby? You are almost due and might give birth before the week runs out, she can barely do anything and you want to be married? Are you sure you are alright my lady?”“What are you saying? We still have two weeks, do you know how to count? Let’s get married before I give birth, I am calling you and your siblings right now,”She said picking up her phone and tapping fast on it, her phone soon rang and he knew just who was calling and it turned out to be that person wh

    “Honey? Will you hurry up? We are going to be late and I want to be the one to catch Emily’s bouquet, we don’t go on time I might not get that chance,”Ruby yelled to Liam who was still getting ready, he was one of Nathan’s best men but that didn’t mean he should take all the day dressing, it’s been almost a month since after her divorce with Richard had been finalized and life had been all shades of fun since then, today they were all going to gather to witness Emily and Nathan say I do and she was so excited and really wanted to catch the bouquet even though she was already engaged.“Wait, you wanna catch a bouquet? How are you going to do it with the way you look right now?”He asked, mocking her, she looked so huge now she wondered how she was still able to move freely, she was eight months and two weeks pregnant, just two more weeks and she would meet her baby, okay, maybe three if the baby decides to delay.“I will, don’t get in my way,”She insisted.“I won’t have to baby, Kell

    After speaking with Liam, and clarifying everything, everything was back okay again, the very next day, Sam filed the lawsuit and they got a hearing date, she didn’t need to show up in court, that was the best part of it, Sam said she would handle it and everything was discussed between Sam and Richard’s lawyer, she didn’t even need to meet Richard again, he called her and she told him off and blocked his number, she didn’t want his negative vibes, he had her before and lost her himself, which she was grateful for because if he had not ended things with her then she won’t have gone to Cacko and if she hadn’t gone to the island, she won’t have found Liam and Kristen and she would not have the life she had now.Only after a few days after filing for the suit, Sam called her that she had a huge chance of winning and it did happen because when he called her again, it was to tell her that the court has ordered Richard to sign the paper, she was so happy, but she hadn’t told Liam about it,

    “Sam?”“Yes, he is my lawyer, I spoke to him and he suggested I go talk to Richard, I did that today but Richard is so selfish he doesn’t want to sign so I am going with Sam’s first suggestion which is to file for a lawsuit,”She informed.“Well, in that case, Sam is one of my favorite people now too,”He said and she laughed.“Oh, I missed us so much,”“Me too, I miss Kristen too,”She said in a sad voice.“We can go see her, she is enjoying her time with her grandparents, it’s just them as none of my siblings are at the mansion, mom called earlier and Kristen was having a fun time in the background,”He revealed and she cheered up.“That sounds so cool,”“Yeah, we can go over to see her if you want, mom won’t let me take her away until the one week I promised she would spend there is up, we can go be with her too, I know mom will want to see you too,”He said and she frowned in sadness again.“What is making you frown this time woman,”He asked pulling her face to his.“Talk to me,

    “Why would you think I am angry at you?”Liam asked not understanding how that even happened, he couldn’t deny that he had pretty much been avoiding talking to her for the past couple of days but that had nothing to do with him being mad at her and everything to do with him giving her space, he didn't want to crowd her with everything going on.“I thought you were, you didn’t talk much to me, you haven’t hugged or kissed me for days, you haven’t told me you love me either, and I haven’t seen you for days, I thought you were not here,”She said and he felt like hell, he went up to her and kissed her.“I was here all along, saw you every time you left the room, I thought you knew I was home too and you just didn’t want to talk to me, I am not angry at you Ruby, believe me, I acted like a selfish idiot that day and felt bad about it immediately, I wanted to talk to you and say sorry but you didn’t want to talk to me,”“I shouldn’t have locked you out that night, I thought you would say s
