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

    "There are over five women due tomorrow and we are short of supplies, what are we going to do? We never budgeted for this much,"Sara said as she walked into Ruby's office, Sara is the head nurse among the nurses that volunteered and joined Ruby on this mission."We make use of what we have Sara, we can do it, I already called the hospital and they will send supplies as soon as they can but till then we are on our own,"Ruby replied while checking the pulse of the patient on the bed, Sara stood by watching her."Have you eaten today?"She asked the patient who shook her head and said no."Ma'am you have to eat, for you and the baby, it not good that you starve yourself,"She explained."It's not that I don't want to eat, but there are hungry children here, I can't eat while I watch children go hungry,"She replied, she was the first patient Ruby has had since she came here that had a good command of English, her other patients mostly speak in the island language, which she didn't unde

    "We can't leave until we are sure these women will be okay, you guys sent us here knowing how this island is, and now you want us to leave knowing there are people here especially women and children who need us?"Ruby asked dropping her glasses and biting down on her lips to prevent her from saying the words that bubble in her head."Then you are in your own, we are only going to pay for your expenses back, you return now or face whatever it is that comes with your decision to stay, the hospital is officially taking its hands off this, you have to return by the next ferry ride, tell us before you board it so that we can send a plane, have a nice day doctor,"The director said and ended the call before she could say more, so they are just going to abandon them? Just like that? How will they expect her and her team to leave knowing there are people here who need them?""This is bad, this is so bad,"She said out loud, her whole body ache from staying up all through the night, one of the

    Going back to his apartment with the now sleeping child, Liam tried to think of how he will come up with what to do with the child, no one seemed to believe him when he said he wasn't the father, he couldn't believe what was happening, he had so much to do, he had been able to set up a hidden camera and a listener close to the marina where he suspected was where the gamblers and probably the drug dealers were based, he wasn't totally sure but he had asked a few of the locals and they had told him that place was a no go area, a tracker and a camera there will help him get at least a lead, but with a baby, in hand, he didn't know what he will do and he wasn't bad enough to leave a child on her own."I just need to get someone to help until I can find a permanent solution,"He said out loud, he thought of taking the child to the city to either of his sisters or mom, they will gladly care for her but what if the child's mother comes back for her, ruling out the thought of taking her out o

    "Can you please trust me on this and let me go and return? I promise I am not running away,"Liam pleaded, the pretty doctor wasn't convinced, he could tell bit he needed her to help him."I will help you in any way I can if you do this, I heard you telling your nurses that you guys don't have supplies, I can help you get those if you will just help me this once, oh and I can lean a hand at the clinic too,"He promised, he didn't know how he was going to keep that promise but desperate tikes call for desperate measures."How am I supposed to trust your words when I don't even know you? Yes, I need those things you are promising but his am I sure you aren't going to run away right after I agree to care for the baby and where are you going to in the first place? Why is it so urgent and why can't you bring your baby with you?"She asked, she was one feisty woman and she wasn't even going to let him go if he doesn't tell her, and he didn't know or trust her enough to tell her the truth."

    “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
