“Thanks, but you haven’t answered my first question.She said dropping the bag of chocolates, it was too early for it anyway.“What question?”He asked as he took a seat.“I asked about Kristen, I thought you would bring her along, we agreed that I will be a part of her life and I want to build a close relationship with her again, I was excited to see her today and you didn’t bring her,”She let out in disappointment.“Oh, I am sorry, she is with my older sisters they are having a picnic and wanted her to come along, she has been at my parent’s house since the day you came, I am coming from there too, I am not trying to keep her away from you, I would have brought her along but they insisted that she stayed over for the picnic and Kristen looked really happy to be with them so I left her.”He revealed picking up her photo book which was on the table next to him, she was jealous of how fast Kristen adapted to his family, she hoped they will be close too.“Don’t be upset, you will see h

Liam silently watched her, she seemed really pissed and uncomfortable, he should never have dumped it on her so soon.“Love is not a bad thing Ruby,”He said after a while, he didn’t know why he was still pushing it but he had to.“I never said it was, don’t get me wrong here, I am just saying it is not for me, so don’t say it to me,”She replied.“Wow, all I said was I love you and you have a lot of things to say and none of them is nice, you don’t even want to consider marriage to me, am I really that bad?”He questioned, he sounded pathetic even to his own ears.“Liam, don’t say things like that to me, I already told you, I don’t want your love, I don’t want to marry you, all I want is to find a way to be able to be parents to our children, anything else that you have to offer, I don’t want it, please respect my wish in this, I beg you,”She said, she looked like she didn’t want to even be having this conversation, well, he was done here too, there was no point dragging the issue r

“Where are the older ones?”He noticed the absence of the teenagers among them, of course, he didn’t expect to see them in a nursery but they weren’t in the house either, he would have known if they were in the house, they were always so loud even while playing games.“I think they said something about ice cream date,”One of the nannies revealed.“Oh, okay, thank you for watching the kids, I will leave now,”He said as he handed Kristen back to one of them, she didn’t even protest, she was clearly having fun with her cousins, he stepped out of the nursery and wanted to go to his room, he heard his sisters laughing in the living room and decided to go see what was up.“I can’t believe you got pregnant just cuz of that,”Lilac said as he entered the living room, wow, who was pregnant again? There were already too many kids.“Who is pregnant?”He asked.“Nancy!”They chorused and he turned to her, she had such a big smile.“CY? You have four kids already, that’s a lot,”He scolded and t

After he ran away from his parent’s house, he called Ruby, he expected her to tell him she was at work but she said she was home and when he requested to come over, she didn’t say no, he stopped by a cake show on his way to her house and got her chocolate cake, he had seen her fridge the other day and knew she liked chocolate and everything related to it.“You are here early, we were just talking about thirty minutes ago, were you already on your way here?”She asked in greeting when he got to her house, he wanted to hug her but settled for just touching her tummy where his baby lived.“Yeah, I have something to talk to you about,”He said walking into the house and dropping the cake on the table.“I got you cake,”He pointed out and she smiled.“Thanks, so what do you want to talk to me about?”She asked, sitting down.“My family wants to meet with you, I told them about us,”He explained expecting the worse reaction from her.“Okay,”Was all she said.“Okay?

Ruby nervously stared at the mirror, she was meeting Liam’s family today and she was nervous, she didn’t know what to expect, she has done a little research on the family and they all seem like they were nice people but she couldn’t be sure, this was a different situation, Liam might have been acceptable but his family may have a different viewpoint, as much as she tried not to overthink, it just didn’t work.“Baby? I am here, are you ready?”Liam's voice came from downstairs, she gave him her lock password so he could enter when he came around, she quickly checked herself in the mirror one last time before picking up her bag and going downstairs.“Hi, I am ready,”She said as she came down to him, he was staring at her weirdly.“What? Do I have something on my face?”She asked, touching her face.“Yes, you do,”“What’s that?”“Beauty,”He responded and she rolled her eyes at him, what the heck had she been expecting him to say? The guy was hopeless.“Let’s just go, you are crazy,”Sh

“Welcome home my dear,”Liam’s mom said hugging her last, she felt her motherly love and protection and almost teared up.“Thank you so much, ma’am,”“It’s mom to you, okay?”She corrected and Ruby nodded.“I told all of you to stay inside and wait,”A deep voice said and she looked up to see an older version of Liam standing in the distance, Liam pulled her from his mom and walked towards him, once again, she got a little bit scared but her fear went away when the older man smiled brightly and opened his arms wide to welcome them.“Welcome home,”He said hugging both her and Liam at the same time, this wasn’t what she had expected, how could they be so nice? She must be imagining this or maybe she was dreaming it.“Dad! You finally came back? Welcome too, meet Ruby, I am sure they have already filled you in?”Liam said in a cheerful tune, he must really be close to his dad for him to talk so openly and calmly with him.“Yes, they have and I can say you have finally done something I w

Liam rolled over and came in contact with a body, he smiled even with his eyes close as memories of the night before flashed before his eyes, he slowly opened his eyes and turned to watch the woman in his bed sleep, she was finally here, where she belonged, in his bed and his heart, he couldn’t believe his luck.“God, I love you so much,”He whispered, kissing her softly on the cheek, his hands went to her tummy where their little one resided and he felt the movement. The little one was awake, he leaned over and kissed the spot where the movement had happened.“Don’t you know doing that will make her want more and start moving everywhere?”Ruby said, smacking him on the head, he looked up to find her smiling and smiled too.“You are awake, my love,”“I am,”“Wow, and you just accepted that you are my love? Wow,”He said holding her closer.“Of course, I am your love, who else will be?”She said holding his face and dropping an unexpected kiss on his lips, his heart filled up at her wo

“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?

“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
