DIONNAH'S POVThe day of the wedding was here and I was just as exhausted as I was excited. Amelia and I finished dressing my sister while my mom ensured that everything was set outside. I could tell that Danielle was nervous so I comforted and reassured her.The bridal party made their entrance and as I entered my eyes landed on Michael who stood beside Jonathan. My heart began to race as if I was the one getting married. Michael seemed to sense my uneasiness so he smiled and gave me a reassuring nod. My confidence grew as I reached the alter and took my place. I looked at Michael again who then mouthed the words 'breathtaking ' which made me smile.Wagner's 'Here Comes the Bride' chorus began and everyone stood in anticipation.When Danielle entered, an echo of gasps filled the air. She was breathtaking. My eyes turned to Jonathan to see his expression and it was priceless. I could see tears welling up in his eyes as his bride approached him. My dad handed Dani over and the Minister
DIONNAH'S POVIt was a sad day seeing my parents leave. After my mom and I hysterically held each other and bawled our eyes out, we managed to bid our farewells then. Michael had to literally drag me back to the car because I didn't have the strength to move. I already missed my parents so badly. I wished they didn't live in another state. I slept most of the journey home. Michael shook my shoulder. “Dee, we are home," he whispered. I groggily got out of the car and went inside. The house was quiet and peaceful, then it hit me, we were the only ones there."So what's the plan for this evening babe?" I asked Michael.He grabbed me from behind in a tight embrace. "I've wanted to get you alone for so long." "Well here I am, what you gonna do?" I teased, rubbing his hands that encased me from behind. I threw my head back so that it rested on his chest. His breath trickled down the side of my neck as he inhaled and exhaled my scent. "Well, first I'm gonna take you upstairs," he purred,
DIONNAH'S POVThe week flew by so fast and Michael and I made love in every room in the house. I barely had time to wash Dani's sheets and clean her room before they were dragging their luggage inside. I barely had time to catch my breath before Dani showed me photos of their honeymoon. I was just so happy they were happy. Our life fell back into routine now that the wedding was over and before you know it Dani and I were back at work. She was nervous since the fashion show was only two weeks away. I had a meeting with the owner of the venue who said that we needed more lighting and to check for fire hazards. The rest of the week was smooth sailing and work as usual. Everything at home was also going great. Michael and I were happy and enjoying every minute together. We would have games night once every week with Dani and Jon. It felt good not to be sneaking around anymore. It was almost a month after the wedding and Danielle and Jonathan were in more bliss than before. I loved se
Dionnah's POVIt was late evening when I woke up and I was alone in bed. My room was dark so I switched on the bedside lamp. I checked my phone and there was a message from Michael. He said he got caught up at work and would be home a little late. He ended the message with I Love You. I smiled, I knew he did love me so I told myself he would be ok with having a baby. I took a quick shower, pulled on an oversized T-shirt and pajama bottoms then went downstairs. Dani was sitting in the living room, waiting for Jon I guess while she googled pregnancy on her laptop. She slammed it shut when she heard me coming up behind her. She turned around and gave me a pitied look when she saw me. "How are you feeling Dee?""Better," I said as I sat beside her. “How are you feeling? It's not like I'm the only one pregnant." I folded my arms and pouted. “I know that, but the two situations are different," she mumbled. “Yes, I know. Your pregnancy is wanted and mine is unwanted. You're married, I'm
DIONNAH'S POVA couple of days later and I was sitting in a doctor's office. I needed to know if my baby was doing okay and also myself. It was only a week from the fashion show and the anticipation was taking a toll on me. I hardly ate because my appetite was nonexistent. Sleep wasn't a problem because I wanted to sleep the majority of the days.I waited for only ten minutes before I was called in to see the doctor."Good afternoon Ms. Delaney." The middle-aged man greeted. "Good afternoon Dr. Evans." I tried to smile but my lips didn't move. "And how are you feeling today?""I'm feeling great actually, the only problem is I don't have any appetite. Not for food or anything else.""That's quite common in the early stages of pregnancy. Let me check how far along you are so I can prescribe something to help you.""That would be great," I sighed. I just need to keep this hidden for at least after the fashion show. I did as he instructed and within seconds he was doing the ultrasound
DIONNAH'S POV What the actual hell did I just hear? I must be hearing things. But I couldn't be because I heard it twice. Michael asked me to marry him. He proposed. My breathing became harsh and labored as I got up and headed to the bathroom. Michael quickly got up and followed behind me, but I managed to close the door before he could get to me. "Dionnah what are you doing?" He asked against the door. "What the hell did you ask me, Michael?" I leaned against the bathroom door, while I tried to steer a panic attack away. "You heard me Dionnah, I want you to marry me." His voice was heavy and determined. I knew he loved me, but why would a man who didn't want children want to get married? It just didn't make sense to me. "Why?" I wanted to hear his reasons. I had always dreamt of being a mother and the fact that I was actually pregnant with a child the father did not want, was making me crazy. "What do you mean why? Because I love you. Open the door so we can talk." He begged
MICHAEL'S POVDionnah's light snores woke me up a couple of minutes before 5 am. The room was still dark and I could see what was left of the moonlight through the window. Last night didn't go the way I planned it. I thought Dionnah would be happy to accept my proposal. I didn't even want to ask her that way. I had this whole romantic scenario planned out in my head. But our lovemaking was just so amazing, it just felt like the right time to do it. I yawned, maybe asking her at that moment wasn't the best thing to do. I shifted out of the bed and she stirred. I didn't want to wake her, but I needed to clear my head and no better way to do so than with some exercise. I pulled on some gym shorts and a gray muscle shirt and headed down to the home gym. To my surprise, the lights were on so when I entered I saw Jon, stretching his glutes. “Someone's up early," I used a towel to smack him. He jumped, he was definitely startled. “I could ask you the same thing," he laughed. He looked me u
DIONNAH'S POVI woke up to the other side of the bed empty. The spot where Michael slept was cold. It was a couple of minutes to eight and if I didn't get up to get ready I'd be late for work. I spent fifteen minutes throwing up my intestines in the toilet bowl. I hated this morning sickness. I quickly took a shower and got ready for work. To my surprise, Dani was alone in the kitchen. “Morning Dani," I greeted. “Where are the guys?" “Morning. They went to the office early," she poured me some tea. “Jesus Dee, you look terrible. Come sit," she gestured to one of the chairs around the table. I sat, my head felt light and my feet felt heavy. “Are you feeling good? Can you work today?"“I'm fine Dani. This is how I feel most mornings but my energy levels go sky high as the day rolls on."“Ah, I gotcha."“Did Michael say anything?" “Yes. He says to tell you he loves you and he'll see you later."“Oh.""Dionnah you honestly need to tell Michael you're pregnant. Now more than ever. Look
