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 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

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

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

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

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

Samantha"Sam, are you there?" Charlie knocked on the bathroom door of the apartment we shared.My only wish was to pretend it didn't exist until it became real. I sank a little deeper into the empty tub, seeking some protection from reality."Sam, you know if we're late we're going to have to put up with Elle picking on us!" his tapping became insistent "come on, it's only two apresentacions today.""The door is open," I mumbled, opening the third chocolate bar that would probably turn me into a pig.Well, I would have the size of one sooner or later anyway.Charlie opened the door, wide-eyed to find me lying in the empty bathtub, surrounded by boxes of assorted treats that my payment for last night's show had managed to buy."What the hell is that?"She cautiously approached the tub as I nibbled listlessly on the chocolate bar. My friend bent down, picking up the reason for my despair in the last few hours from the floor.Four pregnancy tests, all positive.“My life is over.” I sni

Samantha"Are you anxious?" Elle asked as she sat next to me in the clinic's waiting room."Of course she's anxious, I don't know how she managed to wait a week for this appointment." Charlie rolled her eyes. “I would have already knocked on every available doctor in Vegas until I found one.”I couldn't help but laugh at her enthusiasm. I was nervous about what awaited me behind the closed door, but I didn't want to show it. I could handle a little anxiety.“Actually, I've spent the last week getting used to the idea” I shrugged “I guess I needed that time."And how is it going?" “Elle was interested.I shifted uncomfortably in the chair, thinking about my answer.“Well, I have to adapt. At first I was lost and not knowing what to do” I admitted it “but now, I know I have to keep going, I just don't know how to tell Theon.”"Haven't you called him yet?" Charlie watched me."I thought it best to wait for the appointment." I shrugged."Miss Hurst, the Doctor is ready for you," the rece

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

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
