I could see it clearly through the glass. As I sat in the room looking through the e window. I had not realized a man had walked past me. He was staring at my baby and boom he took him up from the rocker and began to run off. I tried to scream but my voice failed. It sank deep into the dew that fell. He kept running into the cold. The atmosphere became suddenly thick with mist that made it so Impossible for me to see where I was headed. Soon I got to a crcrossroadand a

HELENA'S POV It was in the early hours of the evening at six thirty pm. Exactly one month after I had put to bed. I was strong enough and it came as a surprise to me. My father had told me that I took after my mom. He explains that she doesn't experience much pain after she gives birth and in only a few weeks she's back to doing what she usually does. Doing her stuff all by herself. The evening was cool and sweet. I was in the living room with Bella feeding the babies when we heard the constant chime from the doorbell outside. "Go get the door". I ordered Bella. She got up immediately and sprang to the door. A baby spoon stuck in her hand. Zayn and Zahir made creaky noises beckoning her to continue feeding them. In no time, shoot back into the house. A confused look ran across her "Who was it?"."A delivery man" she responded "What does he have?" "A package for you ma'am"."Oh! It had better be good"I got up and darted towards the door.The rays from the sun hit my eyes as I ca

HELENA'S POVThe thought of officially being called his wife was the most important event of my life at the moment. Since the night he gave me the engagement ring I couldn't take my eyes off it. It was a beautiful piece. It's been a week. The diamond ring rests so beautiful on my finger. I had pleaded with Alex to postpone the wedding till our kids were at least five months but he has bluntly refused. Claiming that he wanted to tie the nut the right way. In a church with him in a suit and me in a white dress. I closed my eyes fantasizing how glamorous wedding was going to be. A walk down the aisle with the most influential young man in the whole region. A man every girl would kill to have. I was conscious of the fact that Alex was handsome and that so many girls might want to push their way again through him. Fighting and pulling over aan is not what I am known for doing but this one was mine. I sat there lost in my thoughts. Zayn and Zahir were asleep at least it would give me a

HELENA'S POVI've always been told that babies have an uncontrollable habit of crying. As I ran up the stairs to meet my boys. I could hear their voices from the hallway."What's wrong I asked Bella?" As we approached the room."I don't know ma'am. They woke up and I gave them their food as usual but Zayn hasn't stopped crying since then so I thought to call you"."This is unusual. I said and pushed the door knob. I rushed over to the cot and carried Zayn in my arms. The moment Zahir saw me his cry quickly disappeared into a smile. I smiled back and touched him on the cheek. He smiled broadly. Exposing his toothless gum. I held Zayn, strapping him to my chest with one arm. "I think he has a temperature". I informed Bella."But that's impossible. I can't check him before rushing down to call you"."They are babies". I responded."He was perfectly fine–she said softly in a sad tone."C'mon don't be like that, it's not your fault".I sat down on the massive bed and laid the baby on my

HELENA'S POVI managed to stay calm. With Bella by my side, I was sure I would be strong through the process. She held baby Zahir while I paced the private room back and forth waiting for the doctors to come with feedback or something we can hold as the sole cause of this sudden illness. We've been in the hospital for about forty-five minutes. Alex showed up just in time. I was holding my little boy's hand when he pushed the door softly and peered his head into the room. He searched it to be sure he was in the right room before coming in. I took in a deep breath of relief and walked over to him. I buried my head in his chest as he hugged me. His cologne, a scent I was already used to replenishing my nostrils left me with a sense of protection and hope. I was more than happy he had shown up even though the results of the numerous tests would be available.Thank God you're here". I told him. He quickly ran his hands on my shoulder and kissed my head."I ran here as soon as a store call

HELENA'S POVWe thanked the doctor and left. By the time we got back to the ward. Zayn's breathing was already going back to normal. All of this was my fault because he was sweating heavily during most of the lights. I had thought that it was only normal to keep up the A/C although I try as much as I can to regulate it when it's getting too chilly. Zayn always had beads of sweat on his head and so I adducted the no woody method for him, unlike his Identical twin Zahir who never had sweat and was always calm even when the heat it much.loved my boys and maybe after these experiences, I would know just how to observe and even care for another child. This was my very first attempt at ever being a mother.Uuh! I stretched my legs as I sat on the bed."Are you okay?" Alex asked with so much concern in his tone. He held my legs and massaged me a bit."Do you need some ice cream or chocolate?""Ice cream?" No –no way. I'm not taking anything cold this season till my boys are grown". I infor

HELENA'S POVI slept off on Alexander's chest. This has got to be the most horrible night of my life. I was exhausted by the time the sun hit my face from the window. Baby Zahir was awake too. He gave me a welcome smile. I pinched his little cheeks softly and then I suddenly remembered that we had spent the night at the hospital. Alex was awake all through. I was sure he was finally swept off by sleep at the very nearly hours of the morning after being a strong watch to me and the kids. On this part, I was vulnerable and soft. I could barely take good care of myself and talk more about adding extra humans to my list. My hair was a mess. Erect like grasses of the field the strands stood. "Good morning my love," Alex said and kissed me on the cheek. "Good morning baby" I kissed back. Then I realized I had been sitting on his lap for a long time. I got up and proceeded to check Zayn a bit. To my greatest surprise, the young man was fully awake. He has changed mine for today I don't k

Alex had told me he wanted to set me up to be a boss on my own before we took the vows. "That's my little way of saying I can't love you less" he had told me a few weeks ago.My eyes shot open at 6:00am as usual. I didn't have to look at the clock to know if it's 6:00 am. I've always had the urge to wake up once it's 6am and it has always been accurate. I took the duvet off me, slid out of my bed and began my daily routine beside my bed. Alex was already in the bathroom so I had to wait for him to finish. My pillows were perfectly aligned and carefully laid on the bed, shelves pulled tight ,and my duvet folded just right. I nodded to myself when I saw the finished outcome. I walked over to my bathroom for the next chapter of my morning routine.Alex was out in no time."How do you feel on your first day?" He asked."I'm happy and grateful to have you
