A gift From Las Vegas Chapter 26 - Just Break the News
SamanthaI walked between the girls observing if they were correctly executing the choreography I had given them, it was already becoming a little difficult to keep up, so I was content to evaluate them and correct them when necessary." You need to be in sync," I stopped the music again, "especially when you raise your hands and start running again.”" Ms. Hurst, can't you show us again? " Melissa asked." All right," I sighed before putting Michael Sembello on once more.They watched carefully as I performed the choreography clearly so that they understood what they were supposed to do. Once I was done, I felt exhausted, content to sit on the floor for a while to catch my breath." How about a break? " I suggested with a wry smile." Does the baby make you tired, Ms. Hurst? " Maggie asked, watching me." A little," I admitted.The girls whispered to each other soon after, causing me to frown at the situation." You go, it was your mother who told you," Melissa asked Kim." But I tol

I absorbed the words of Delphine and continued walking absentmindedly, until I bumped into a strong body." Sorry " I asked without bothering to see who I bumped into." Samantha? " A male voice caught my attention. Mike smiled broadly when he saw me. " Mike, hi," I didn't hesitate to smile back.Once again I was taken by his handsome face and the penetrating eyes he displayed. Mike attracted me as soon as we met, he was the kind of guy I would get involved with in a bar. And I would get pregnant for it, my conscience screamed." I was going to call you today, how is the pancake?”" The pancake? He wants to sleep in bed with me! If I lock him out of the room, he won't stop crying," I joked." I can't blame him for that," he winked at me.My heart didn't race, as it did when I was with Theon, but it was nice to have his attention." Have I become invisible to you, Laffay? " Delphine broke our flirtation, making me blush.Okay, he's not Theon, but it was enough to make me forg

SamanthaI watched Pancake gnawing on a shoe in the corner of the room while I finished getting ready. I was to meet Mike in an hour, and I was feeling more anxious by the minute." Do you think I'm being hasty? " I questioned the beagle, attracting his attention, "I should be mad at you for ruining yet another shoe of mine, but I can't even think about it now, should I cancel?”He moved his ears, back to concentrating on my shoe, and I sighed audibly, putting aside the brush and picking up my cell phone. This was crazy! I couldn't go out with him. How would I explain the fact that I had a baby growing inside me?I was about to call the man and make up some excuse, when I remembered the scene at the Adamos house. The way I felt when I saw Theon with Harper was not right! I needed to get over it one way or another!Instead of calling Mike, I tried Charlie.She answered the video call on the second ring, dressed in a short leather police costume, in her dressing room before some show."

SamanthaDespite the troubled start, the rest of the dinner was pleasant. To my surprise, Mike was sympathetic after understanding the whole situation that I was in. He became a little more open after confirming that there was no romantic relationship between Theon and me.We didn't see time passing, and before we knew it, we were walking side by side, watching the starry Aspen sky as he walked me home, making small talk." So, you are preparing the girls for the Thanksgiving presentation," he began, with both hands in his coat pockets." Yes, I'm working hard on it, but they'll do fine," I assured him, feeling the cool breeze hitting my face." I wish I could watch.”Mike had told me that he was traveling to Pennsylvania to spend Thanksgiving with his family, so he would not be able to attend the children's performance at the theater in town." Well, there will always be other performances," I assured him watching my house pop up as we turned the corner, "that's where I live.”" Okay

" Can you stop stealing our baby's chocolate? " I complained as I watched Theon grab another chocolate from the box of chocolates we had bought on the way to Vail.Today we had another ultrasound appointment, and I was already seventeen weeks pregnant and hoped that we would be able to find out the sex on this scan." I think this baby has had enough chocolate," Theon scoffed, popping the candy into his mouth." Quiet," I murmured, "your grandmother said that I have to eat well.”" She means healthy foods, Sam," he picked up another candy, much to my displeasure."Don't you want to find out if it's a boy or a girl today? Then give the chocolate to the baby," he removed the candy wrapper." You are taking advantage of the situation," he put the candy in my mouth.A lady in her sixties was watching us with a small smile on her face."How long have you been married? " she finally asked, drawing our attention." We're not together," Theon seemed uncomfortable with the subject." Yes, he h

SamanthaThat little interaction served to dispel any remaining awkwardness between the two of us. We managed to keep it mild until we reached my house, where a large box on the porch reminded me of the favor I needed to ask him." Can you help me with something? " I asked before getting out of the car.He followed me curiously to the porch, I unlocked the door and pointed to the unopened box that was still there. I had received this package in the morning, but had not dared to move it when I realized how heavy it was." Can you take this upstairs for me? " I asked.He didn't think twice before stooping down, picking up the box and carrying it into the house, and then climbing the stairs. I followed him, showing him where he could put it, and sat down on the floor to open it." This is heavy, what did you buy? " Theon asked, standing beside me." A toolbox," I explained.That took him by surprise. He stooped down beside me, looking at everything in the box." Sam, why do you need a to

Theon" Really, Sam, you need to ask Iris to show you these pictures," Harper confided, drawing even more laughter from the other woman. Callie was so angry." Did you really freak out, Apollo?" Sam asked with a smile on her face, "I didn't know you were the type to be afraid of the public.”We were sitting on the floor of the empty room, eating some egg tarts that Harper had brought with the Chinese food. In the end, she helped me carry the disassembled furniture down to the basement, and seemed more at ease in the presence of the mother of my son." I didn't freak out, Samantha. I was six years old and I had a fight with my sister," I explained, "and my mother might as well burn those pictures!”" You'd better take advantage of that before he disappears, Sam," Harper whispered as I rolled my eyes." Damn right, I'll make a copy just to show the baby," she scoffed, "if you know of any more embarrassing pictures of him, you should tell me.”" Ohhh there is one, he was about fourteen y

Theon I walked into the ballet studio expecting to find the girls still rehearsing, but it seemed that class had ended early. Sam was standing alone, sideways to me, concentrating on an old song that was beginning to play. She was dressed in an 80's gym outfit. A low-cut black swimsuit, pink gaiters, and her hair was tied up in a high ponytail. She looked beautiful and incredibly sexy dressed like that, even though her body was beginning to change due to the pregnancy. In fact, I considered her more and more beautiful as the pregnancy progressed, and my affection for the mother of my son increased with every moment beside her, to the point of making me question if this was even a good and healthy thing, given our situation. She spun around, turning to the mirror, starting a sort of run that she soon interrupted, startled to notice my presence, she turned toward me with wide eyes. " Apollo, I didn't expect to see you here!” " Don't stop, I want to see it," I ordered as I approach

A gift From Las Vegas Chapter 56 - The happiness she deserves
Theon" Are you ready? " I called out to Sam as I made sure that Henry didn't get dirty.I was in the living room, waiting for her to finish getting ready so we could go to the ceremony that awaited us, but she was taking longer than I thought." I'll be down in a minute, Apollo," she shouted in reply, "don't let the pancake get Henry dirty.”I watched my one-and-a-half year old boy lying on top of the dog with an angelic smile on his face. Maybe we should get him out of there before his mother comes downstairs." Henry, come with Daddy," I called, bending down to meet him.He lifted his head, which had been resting on the dog's back, and opened his smile even wider when he saw me gesturing to call him." Papa," he stammered, struggling to get up before running toward me in faltering steps.He was wearing a small tuxedo and his slightly curly hair, like his mother's, was adorably messy; he will steal the spotlight at this wedding. " Mama," he called, looking up the stairs befo
A gift From Las Vegas Chapter 55 - Finally he has born
Theon I made my way to the maternity waiting room where everyone was waiting anxiously for some news. Carl and Selena were the first to see me and soon stood up. " Adamos, what happened? " Carl asked. " Henry decided to be a few weeks early, but everything is fine. He is perfect and healthy," I smiled as I remembered my little boy. He was better than I imagined, much better. " What does he look like? Can we see him? " Lara asked anxiously. All the excitement seemed to have served to make her momentarily forget everything that had happened that night. " He's with Sam in postpartum, he'll be there for a while," I explained, "Does anyone know about the…” I fell silent as I saw Callie coming down the hall beside Harper, the two of them talking quietly, while Daphne, who had just started to take her first steps, ran awkwardly in front of them. " Callie put them in the corner there," my mother pointed to Sam's two suitcases. " Thank you. I'll take them up to the bedroom.” I felt

SamanthaEveryone remained silent for seconds, not sure what to do before I decided to take action." I'll go…”I indicated the stairs without needing to explain much." Sure, I'll wait for you here," Theon assured me." Yeah, maybe it's better if someone neutral handles this," Iris endorsed.I nodded and went upstairs, in time to see Delphine approach Theon.She was certainly going to question him about his line from earlier.I walked uncertainly to the door of the room where we had been getting ready and exchanging confidences a few hours before. Poor Lara, I couldn't imagine what awaited her.I heard the doorbell ring, reminding me that the rest of the family would have some work to do to dispose of the ruined party guests. At least I could help here.Once again I felt that discomfort when Henry moved, followed by a slight pain in my groin. I tried to adjust the pants I was wearing comfortably before I knocked on the door, hearing the muffled cry coming from inside the room." Lara
A gift From Las Vegas Chapter 53 - Family is not always blood
SamanthaTheon parked the car in front of his mother's house again, it had been over two hours since we had left to go after Marcus and we didn't know what we would find there.Theon, however, didn't seem to want to burst the bubble of happiness we had created inside that car, and I couldn't blame him for that. For me, just our conversation in that car was enough to make me forget about the whole mess that had happened.Theon leaned in and kissed me again, erasing from my mind anything but the two of us. I brought my hand to the back of his neck, tangling my fingers in his hair.I couldn't believe I had run away from this for so long, this was all I needed, and Henry certainly agreed with me, as he kept moving inside me.But reality couldn't allow us to run away for so long, altered voices coming from inside the house caused us to separate immediately. Theon took a deep breath, looking worriedly at one of the windows." We have to get back there, don't we? " he looked tired." If we d
A gift From Las Vegas Chapter 52 - Keep your distance from my family
Theon Rushing footsteps followed me and I didn't have to look to find out who was following me. I could still hear my two sisters' argument getting louder and louder." Where are you going, Apollo? " Sam asked, panting as she struggled to keep up." Don't run," I murmured." Then walk slower," she pleaded as we reached the stairs.I complied with her request to prevent her from rushing up the stairs, but my mind was made up, Marcus would learn to keep his distance from any of my sisters!" Where are you going? " Sam asked again." I'm going to kill that bastard," I muttered, expecting her to try to stop me.My mother and sister were in the living room, looking startled at the confusion unfolding upstairs." Theon, what happened? " My mother asked.I didn't answer, I headed for the door while Sam shouted a summary of what had happened, running to catch up with me. I got into the car, preparing to start it when Sam took the passenger seat." What the…"" Come on, Apollo, you're not goi
A gift From Las Vegas Chapter 51 - The Worst Birthday of ever
Theon I parked the car in front of Sam's house, sending her a message to let her know that I had arrived. I was on my way to my mother's house when I received a call from Lara asking me to pick up the mother of my son. It seems that Sam had arranged with Lara to help her get ready for the party.Sam and I had become somewhat closer again after I had gone to her house two days ago, not quite the kind of closeness we were used to, but it was something. In fact, I was beginning to wonder if maybe I should have some hope for the future, since from the comments I heard, Sam was no longer with Mike Laffay.I was trying not to delude myself so much, not after everything that happened at Christmas, but it was still hard to deny that I still had feelings for her.Samantha left her house, hurrying to get into the car because of the snow that had been falling insistently since yesterday. It was the beginning of February and her belly was getting bigger and bigger, we had already started the cou
A gift From Las Vegas Chapter 50 - One step Closer
TheonI was lying in my bed on the verge of the unconsciousness I so longed for, when the sound of my cell phone vibrating on the wood woke me up. I sleepily groped the nightstand in search of the device, finding a message from Sam there."Are you awake?"I frowned, sitting up in bed, trying to find some sense in that message. Sam had become very distant from me in the last month, and I hadn't expected that contact." Is something wrong?"I returned the question." I just can't sleep."" Why not?"I replied feeling puzzled by the situation. I remembered the time we had spent hours exchanging messages, it seemed like forever since that had happened."Henry is agitated and I can't get the ice on my foot.I frowned again as I read the end of the message. So, to satisfy my curiosity I ended up calling her." Hi, I hope I didn't wake you up," her voice sounded a little fearful on the other end." What happened to your foot? " I questioned." I stepped on the last step of the stairs and twi
A gift From Las Vegas Chapter 49 - I want his happiness
Samantha After opening the gifts that each of us had brought, this time more informed about the use of each of the things, I had won, I decided to step away from the guests for a bit, stepping through one of the glass doors that led out onto a balcony overlooking the snow"capped mountains of Colorado. I hugged myself as the chilly breeze hit me, I shouldn't be out there without a coat in the middle of winter, but somehow, it helped me clear my mind a little. I walked over to the guardrail, watching the entrance to the house quietly.A few moments later I heard footsteps approaching, but I didn't bother turning around to find out who was there, it must have been my mom bringing me my coat, or crazy Delphine trying to convince me to eat something, but when the person stopped beside me, I didn't know what to do.Harper leaned over beside me, watching the scenery as I did. I bit my lower lip, feeling my heart race at her presence. Why was she there? What did she want with me? I mentally
A gift From Las Vegas Chapter 48 - Pleasant surprises
Samantha"We can deny those feelings all we want, but that doesn't mean they don't exist."Theon's words came swirling around in my mind once again. I was teaching the girls, we were already in the third week of January and his words had not left me for a single second in the last few days. We didn't stay on the best of terms either, I ended up convincing my parents to take me to Denver to get away from the New Year's celebration at the Adamos house, and I avoided talking about it with anyone.I heard the studio door opening and turned around quickly with a racing heart, hoping that he would show up just to see how I was doing, as he did before. But in the end, to my surprise, who was there was my mother. She didn't usually visit me at work, but I decided not to focus on that. I would finish the class and then I would deal with it.Everything was so difficult, it wasn't supposed to be like this. As much as I knew I was doing what my conscience demanded, I missed him, I wanted his comp
