“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? Is that all you are goin
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
Two weeks after meeting with his family, Ruby officially moved in with Liam, he hasn’t said anything about marriage or even said anything related to it to her since she had told him she didn’t want to hear it, he was amazing in every way, she found peace with him, every day she wakes up each morning and found reasons to be thankful that she was pregnant for him and no one else, she got a lot closer with Kristen too, the little one was her new best friend and they did things together when she was not at work, she decided to file for a maternal leave earlier since she hadn’t taken any major vacation in years, she was sure she would get it, she wanted to focus on being a mom for a while, she hasn’t told Liam about it yet, she wanted it to be finalized first.She took a sip of water from her bottle and stared at the night sky, she was currently seated on Liam’s balcony and just being alone, she thought of how much life has changed for her ever since she found out she was with child, her s
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
“Wow, that happened so fast,”He said and she rolled her eyes at him.“You brought her here for that, deal with it, by the end of the day, Kristen will probably know half of the hospital staff,”She said, he didn’t mind just as long as they didn't take her away from the safe zones, he knew he could trust them.“Why are you smiling like that? Did you win a jackpot?”She asked, he smiled, even more, he couldn’t help it, he was happy and wanted to shout it out to the whole world that he was the luckiest man on earth.“Okay, what’s going on Liam?”“Kris called me dada,”He revealed with a big smile.“Oh my God, so soon? She is barely seven months old, wow, that’s impressive, not to burst your bubbles but you do know she might not even know what that means right? She is just blabbering,”Ruby said and he rolled his eyes at her jealous ass.“Just say you are jealous she said dada first, don’t kill my joy,”He scolded and she laughed.“Whatever floats your boat, don’t you have work to do? Wh
“Why did I ever think that pregnant women can’t be good in bed?”Liam asked getting off her, she couldn’t resist hitting him, for saying something so stupid when they just had a good time together in bed, he was so unserious but she loved him so much, yes, ever since she told him how she felt about him, she has not regretted saying those words and every day, she falls a little more in love with him.“Why do I always get beaten by you? I am filing an assault case against you, my love,”“Oh, really? I hope the jury will be a bunch of horny pregnant ladies so that I can tell them that you said we can’t have sex because we are carrying and I will watch them tear you apart,”She said and he rolled his eyes and got off the bed, he was every bit so beautiful naked, despite the fact that they just had each other, the sight of his body made her hungry again and she was ready to grab him and push him back on the bed and have her way with him.If she couldn’t resist him before, being pregnant ma
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
Ruby smiled happily as she walked down the garden towards the man she loves and would love forever, they had invited everyone they know to their garden wedding, everyone from the medical Team, some of the women from the island especially Annabelle who looked a lot healthier and even has a boyfriend, Elsa, of course, was there and Annette’s older sister brought her son too.The day was already emotional and it wasn’t just because it was her wedding day but it felt like a reunion to all the people who played a part in getting her here today, she wished she had family members in attendance too but you can’t always get everything, she had a new family now and she knew they love her and would do everything to make her happy.“You are so beautiful,”She heard her colleagues cheer as she walked past them and smiled hard, this was it, she was walking down the aisle to her forever, the first time she had done this, she had been sure but now, she was even more sure, she knew this was it, her li
“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
She spent the next couple of days on her own, mostly in her room, the house was quiet most of the time except when the cleaners come to clean or when the cooks were around but as soon as they leave the whole place was so calm and quiet, the loneliness was heartbreaking, today she was finally meeting with Richard, she got up early and took her bath and ate breakfast, not like she had much appetite these days, she only ate just so her baby will be fine.Ruby drove to where Richard had agreed for them to meet up, if this doesn’t go as planned then she would just leave it to Sam to handle it, no way was she going to let Richard ride off her, she wasn’t a push over and he couldn’t hold her to a marriage that she didn’t want.“Richard,”She said in greeting as she struggled to sit down as the chair was relatively small and tight.“I never knew I would see you like this, with a big tummy, wow, maybe we needed to be apart for it to happen,”Richard said. he was shameless but she wasn’t about
