A gift From Las Vegas Chapter 42 - Just a scare
TheonI ended the call then walked over to where my sister was talking to Harper, trying to understand what had happened between the two of us moments ago." Harper, I'm sorry, but Samantha…”" Theon, seriously, are you going to talk about Samantha now? " Callie rolled her eyes as Harper let out a nervous laugh through her tears." I know I should just focus on you right now, but she's going to the hospital, and.... “I felt my heart race as the seriousness of the situation hit me." Hospital? What about her? " Callie approached, looking worried, while my ex just watched me." A bleed. I don't know what happened, she just said she was going to the hospital," despair began to overwhelm me as I thought about what this could mean, "we chose his name yesterday, and now... “I felt my lungs closing up, making it harder to breathe with each second. The thought of losing him after everything was heavy, suffocating." Theon, hey " Harper held my hand in an attempt to reassure me " she'll be f

Theon I was in the store on Friday, finishing up some product orders when my cell phone started ringing. I frowned when I saw Samantha's picture on the screen and didn't take long to answer it." Sam, is there a problem?”" Theon I need your help," her voice came in a whisper and I heard her close a door.Worry washed over me as the countless possibilities flashed through my mind." It's nothing to do with the baby or me," she soothed me, as if she could guess what I was thinking, "but…”" Samantha, what happened? " I moved restlessly around the office." Your grandmother is in my office with a suitcase and two tickets to Vegas! " she lowered her voice even more " she forbade me to tell your family, and as much as I don't mind keeping her company, I don't want to travel alone with a crazy old woman!”Trip to Vegas!? What is my grandmother planning?" She's determined to go, I was wondering if you could come with us," she continued." She just showed up with her bags packed? " I took

SamanthaI stroked my stomach as I rubbed moisturizer on it after getting out of the shower, my mind was stuck in my conversation with Theon on the plane. When Lara told me that he and Harper had broken up, I didn't know exactly what to feel. It was somewhere between relief and guilt, but I couldn't feel happy, not about that. Besides, I was still involved with Mike.But hearing all those words coming directly from Theon's mouth only served to increase my confusion." Girl, are you going to help me or not? " Delphine's voice called to me from outside the bathroom "I brought your dress.”I put on the hotel robe before leaving the bathroom, finding the old woman fully dressed waiting for me. She was wearing a lilac ensemble and her hair was freshly washed." You said you brought my dress? " I questioned, guiding her to a chair." Of course, I bought it along with mine, I just didn't expect you to gain so much weight in such a short time.”I took a deep breath, ignoring the gratuitous li
A gift From Las Vegas Chapter 45 - What happens in Vegas...
Samantha Theon dropped me off in my room before heading to his own. I took a deep breath, reaching into my suitcase for my pajamas, and I'd already changed and brushed my teeth when a small knock on the door leading to his room sounded.I followed there, finding Theon standing there watching me, also already in his pajamas and with the ends of his hair slightly damp." Hi... " I tried not to stare at him." Hi, I came to tell you that I got a flight for tomorrow at eight o'clock," he returned." You decided to leave so early," I teased him." I'd rather not be on my grandmother's honeymoon," he replied with a half smile on his face.I couldn't help but smile back. Theon looked agitated and I couldn't blame him; the day had been full of surprises. I sidestepped him, entering his room and going to the window just to watch the view, while he followed my every move with curiosity." Have you talked to your mother yet? " I questioned, turning to him.Theon had grabbed two bottles of orang

Theon" So, will you tell me what happened on that trip? " Lara asked, as we walked down the aisles of the supermarket.It was almost Christmas Eve and both of us had been responsible for buying everything needed for the celebration." I thought that had already become clear," I muttered grumpily, "Delphine decided to relive an old love and dragged us into this madness. “I knew that wasn't what Lara was interested in, but I didn't want to touch on the subject that had me so unsettled over the last few days. My bad mood was noticeable after the whole situation with Sam. I had been avoiding her, not visiting her at the studio anymore, and was content to get news of her condition from my sister, especially after finding her in town with Mike the day after we returned.I felt terrible about the whole thing. I liked her and hoped that we could get back together after what happened between us, but her reaction the next day showed otherwise. Samantha seemed willing to just forget about wha
A gift From Las Vegas Chapter 47 - Christmas eve
Theon " Mama, why don't you let me make this tea? " my mother questioned my grandmother a few hours later as we gathered in the kitchen waiting for the guests to arrive." The tea is for my husband and I will make it," she declared stubbornly. " But I can…”" And I can pour hot water on you! " she returned.It seems that marrying the love of her life has done nothing to improve her mood. My mother gave up on her and left her there before she went to check on the ham that was in the oven." Theon, can you stay with Daphne for a while?" Lara came into the kitchen, holding the little girl out to me " Liny can apparently die if she watches her for five minutes.”My younger sister, who had arrived earlier, came soon after, following her with a calm expression on her face, already dressed for the celebration.She was wearing a short brown skirt, high heels, and a burgundy sweater, matching her bright lipstick." Hey, I told you I take care of myself so that I don't have to take care of an

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
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

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

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

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

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
