A gift From Las Vegas Chapter 34 - If I choose Now...
Theon I made my way to the bedroom only to find it empty. I went downstairs in search of the mother of my son, and saw her pacing back and forth in the kitchen, being closely followed by pancake, who was barking effusively at her legs. " What are you doing? " I questioned as I reached the room. The kitchen counter was full of ingredients, and she was busy chopping some tomatoes. " Sorry, I overheard your conversation with Harper and decided to make dinner. She won't make it in this rain, will she? " Sam smiled at me. " Well, no... But you didn't have to worry about cooking.” I didn't even know she cooked! " Don't be silly, I can do it without any problem," she smiled, "actually my father called me earlier and made me want Chilli, and luckily I have everything at home.” " Chilli? " I frowned as I saw the separate pots and the washed beans. " My grandmother makes the best Chilli con carne I've ever had," she explained. " And you are making your grandmother's Chilli? " I aske
A gift From Las Vegas Chapter 35 - One day the truth will come out
SamanthaThe storm continued to rage outside as I stared up at the ceiling of my room that was occasionally lit by lightning. I felt physically exhausted, but I still couldn't force my mind to shut down after everything that had happened today.I hated my feelings for Theon. He could make me feel good for having him around, and guilty for being in love with the father of my child. This was not how it was supposed to happen.I got up after a few hours of rolling around in bed and walked to the baby's room, looking at the walls painted in a light pastel shade. Everything had turned out so beautiful, I couldn't wait to meet him. I walked carefully down the stairs to the kitchen and grabbed a small bottle of water from the fridge before going back upstairs. I stopped by the ajar door of the guest room that Theon occupied and stood there for a while, watching his sleep.He had a peaceful expression, ignoring the storm that's raging outside the house, and I felt the baby move softly inside
A gift From Las Vegas Chapter 36 - time of explanation
Samantha Why are they here? As hard as I tried to ignore their gaze on me, it was an impossible task, but I needed to pull myself together. The girls needed me, and if I didn't reassure them, who would?This encouraged me to finish the remaining minutes of the song without throwing up in the middle of the performance. As soon as the curtains closed after our thanks, I ran to the dressing room without even waiting for the girls. I wanted to disappear, but the blame for that situation was only mine. How can I take care of a child if I don't even have the courage to tell my parents about him?" I'll be a terrible mother," I groaned in disgust, sitting down on the locker room bench anyway.My only wish at the moment was to be alone there and prepare myself for what awaited me with my parents, but a stream of little dancers excited by the success of their performance prevented that.I quickly wiped away the tears that were streaming down my face without even realizing it, forcing a smile

Samantha I stared at that statement. They doesn't want to go to Adamos house, do they?" Excuse-me, What? " I stammered." I want to meet the father of my grandson," he explained, "Your mother and I will change at the hotel, and come back here to pick up you and the Green girl.”" Dad, I can't bring guests to a lunch where I've already been invited," I tried to argue, following them to the door, "it would be rude!”" See Carl, and we thought the etiquette classes were a total waste of money," my mother sighed with false pride." You're right, it would be impolite, but the man invited us," my father reassured me, "by the way, it would be rude of him not to invite his own son's grandparents!”I felt a wave of panic start to wash over me. They can't come today! Not when all his family and friends will be there!" But... " I couldn't think of any other way to avoid that meeting." Samantha, let's put it this way. Either we meet him today, or we meet him at another time, without your sup
A gift From Las Vegas Chapter 38 - Thanksgiving is never a quiet holiday
Theon " What did you say? " Sam asked, while I still watched her, stuck on the information her father had leaked earlier. Why was she crying, saying she was going through this alone? I have done my best to be there for her and help her in every detail. I know that our situation is not the best, especially with my newfound feelings for her, but I have been trying hard! " Sam, you're going to need help, we're not going to let you go through this alone anymore," her father declared once again, irritating me. " But she's not alone, I'm with her," I decided to speak up, "we're in this together, right, Sam?” " Yes, of course! Theon is right " she hurried to say " I know you worry, but…” " Samantha, even if he is willing to participate, and we are glad that he is, you have no idea how hard this is going to be " Selena explained. " Children are exhausting," my grandmother spoke up, although I wish she were somewhere else. I frowned trying to understand why Sam didn't want her parents t
A gift From Las Vegas Chapter 39 - Lamaze class
Theon" Come on Theon, please give him a chance," Lara practically begged as I carried some of my mother's groceries into the house. It was the second week of December, and the snow had begun to fall outside. I had been avoiding the subject of Daphne's repentant father, and despite assuring Lara that I would support any of her decisions, I was still running away from that meeting." Lara, I told you I've been busy the last few days," I muttered, putting the groceries on the counter, "I don't have time right now, in half an hour I have to meet Sam for Lamaze.”" Come on, you're always inventing something up. I know he's made mistakes, but he's trying to make things right," she pleaded, "everyone has met him, Liny even said he's very kind and thoughtful!”" Lara.”" Come on, you've been through the same thing as him, you must understand…”" Don't compare me to him! I would never, never abandon Samantha and our son" I growled " and in my situation it would be easier if I did, I didn't e
A gift From Las Vegas Chapter 40 - Food Craving
Theon I kept silent as I drove her home, she seemed willing to talk, but my mind was stuck in everything I had been feeling. I left her at home and went to mine, canceling a date I had with Harper, saying that I would go to bed early because I had a headache. And that's what I tried to do. I took a shower, ate something I found in the fridge and went to bed, but sleep didn't come. I knew what needed to be done, but I didn't know how, and my mind spent the next few hours imagining a solution to the situation I had gotten myself into. I should not have allowed it to come to this!My cell phone began to vibrate on the nightstand beside the bed, I reached out to pick it up strangely seeing a message from Sam. It was after two in the morning, I wondered if something had happened."Are you awake?"I decided to call her at once and find out what the problem was and was answered on the first ring." Did I wake you up? " Her voice had a guilty tone to it." No, I was awake. Did something h
A gift From Las Vegas Chapter 41 - How could I choose?
Theon I left Samantha’s house in the morning, she looked exhausted, and I was not so different. Sleepiness began to overtake me and all I wanted to do was lie down and sleep. I noticed a missed call from Harper on my cell phone, followed by a few messages asking if I had gotten better and letting me know that she would be home later.She had arranged something with my sister and wanted me to accompany her to my mother's house, which I didn't hesitate to accept. But at the same time, I felt terrible for not telling her where I spent last night.As soon as we arrived home, my sister invited her into the bedroom, while my mother was sewing something, sitting on the sofa in the living room." Mama, can we talk? " I approached, feeling distressed as Harper came up the stairs with Callie, who had committed herself to looking after Daphne while Lara was out.I knew what I should do, but I didn't know how to do it without hurting Harper. That was what worried me the most." Sure Theon... Is

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
