Immediately Grace said her water just broke every single one of us, panic gripped us, not the smartest thing to do, I agree. But we could not help it. Alex immediately carried his wife in bridal style with all of us following him towards the car. I opened the house door for him so he would be able to go out and then also opened the door to the back seat for him. He placed Grace and then pecked her forehead, "you got this. I am here." He whispered and then she nodded her head.
"Someone needs to follow you." I said before he entered his car.
"Mom, come on." He said as he nodded his head towards him mom. Immediately she entered into the car Alex zoomed off. His mom sat at the back seat, probably to help Grace through the pain she was feeling.
My mom told my grandparents to stay in the house, to save themselves from stress. My mom followed Aunt Elizabeth and my dad, Gabriella took another car with her twin brother while myself and Jake took his own car. <
"They are so cute." I cooed as I played with their cheeks lightly. The babies were placed in their courts. My mom and dad already left to freshen up while Gabriella, Gabriel, Jake my grandparents and I were left in the room with Grace and Alexander."Have you guys decided on a name?" My grandmother asked as she took a seat beside the large window slowly crocheting her new sweater or beanie.Alexander looked at me and then, "we were thinking if Maria would so us the honour of naming one of the boys?" He gave me a questioning look, grinning.I gasped, "really?" I asked. My eyes were already watering."Yeah." He nodded himself and I looked over at Grace who was grinning also, her hands intertwined with Alexander's own.I inhaled and then exhaled loudly and then looked over at Jake who had a serious expression on. "Michael." I said."That is a very nice name." Grace looked up at Alexander."I love
"where are we going?" I asked Jake as he entered the car while I fastened my seatbelt."What do you want to eat?" He asked me as he started the car and then glanced at me waiting for my answer."I do not know." I shrugged. "Burger?" It came out more of a question.He chuckled and then, "burger it is."After a moment of comfortable silence with the radio playing in the background, "should you not be at work?" I asked and he glanced at me.I did not want him to take my tone as a rude one so I explained further, "you know, helping with my family and stuffs. You should have left your work behind." I paused. "What if your boss tells you to leave?" I asked."My boss?" He smirked."Yes, your boss." I replied pointedly."I am the boss of myself." He replied. When he noticed I was silent for a while he glanced at me with amusement playing in his eyes and a small smile on his lips, "you thought I
"I am gay."He did not just say that! His mom looked more angriere with his confession and my mom looked, shocked."What do you mean by you are gay?" My mom asked him her eyes turning to slits.Really mom? He freaking likes guys! That is the meaning."I like boys." He shrugged. And to be sincere, he really looks so at peace. Like he is not even bothered about the fact that the whole family might be against him."And you are so cool about this?" His mom asked, annoyed. At this point she was already turning red."Uh, um, Elizabeth I think you should calm down with this boy." My mom placed her hands on her shoulders and then lead her into the sitting as myself and Gabriel followed behind them."se calmer?!" (Calm down!)"Yes, I will need you to call down, because he is already old enough to make his own choices."I so did not except my mom to be this calm about it. I thought s
By the time Jake came out of the bathroom I was already in one of my huge t shirts tucked under my duvet already. I plugged in my ear piece and started my playlist with NF songs starting it."Asleep?" I heard Jake's voice ask."Nah." I murmured as I removed my earpiece."What are you listening to?" He took his seat on where he was before and then continued working."NF."He glanced back at me with a loop side grin, "hmmn, good choice.""I know right." I grinned. "What are you working on?" I asked as I plugged in my ear piece back but reduced the volume."Just some office stuffs.""Oh. Um, okay then, goodnight.""Goodnight.""But, make sure you sleep early since your flight is leaving early tomorrow.""Yes ma'am." He smiled.By the time I woke the next day Jake had already left to New York. He could have at least woke me up. I thought.&
I have not heard for Jake since he has gotten to New York, don't get me wrong, it is not that I am bothered about him, I just think he should have called me that he got to New York safely. Don't you guys think so?It is finally time to go back to New York today and I am already all packed and set up. I am presently at the airport with my family apart from Grace and Alexander because he has to stay wife his wife and kids at the hospital. I made sure I saw them this morning and they both promised to come to New York soon."We are going to miss you." My mom pulled me into a tight hug."Me too." I grinned as I hugged her back. Soon after everyone started taking turns in hugging me."Do not forget to call." My dad said as he pecked my forehead."I won't.""Our regards to Jake. And tell him to take good care of you and the baby." Aunt Pauline grinned."Bye." I smiled as I left my family behind for N
I didn't know the time I fell asleep yesterday night. I woke up to Joe's muttering and groaning. "Why the hell are you making noise?" I asked as I sat up in the couch and then used my hands to rub my eyes."I am already late for work." She groaned as she tried fitting her leg I side her heels.She should just get another one.I glanced at the clock we hung on the wall and the time read past ten. Yh, she is definitely late."Do you know what time Jake left here yesterday night?" I asked her as I stood up from the couch and then gathered the blanket into my arms."Yesterday night? He left this morning." She grabbed her bag and then stuffed her phone inside.This morning?"Oh.""I do not have time to ask what happened between both of you because I am late already, so when I get back you will give me all the details.""Nothing happened." I rolled my eyes."Wh
Before I took my afternoon nap, I ate a bowl of salad and then after I ate an apple. By the time I woke up it was already in the evening, around 4:30pm Joe should be back in around thirty minutes. I picked up my phone and then sent a text to her, asking what she wanted to eat for dinner. I do not think we should order pizza or want Chinese food again at least for now.I waited for like a minute but she did not reply, so I made my way downstairs to prepare something.My phone rang."I do not think I would be able to make it in time for dinner." As soon as I picked up my ohone, Joe said into the phone."Why?" My eyebrows scrunched in confusion."Philip is taking me out for dinner.""And before you say anything it is not a date. We are going with some of our colleagues."I chuckled, "yeah, whatever.""Oh, and I told Jake to come stay over with you, so you would not feel alone.""Why
"So you are going on a date with Jake?" Joe asked for the tenth time today and I gave her my same reply, for the tenth time today."It is not a date." I replied her as I emphasized on the 'not'."Oh, please shut up." She rolled her eyes as she stirred the sauce in the pot. Joe returned back to the apartment this morning some minutes after Jake left. Apparently she did not only have dinner with Philip and her colleagues, but she also slept in his house and they both fucked. Again.They should just get back together already. They both can not keep their hands off each other. I am so sure they have done it on his office desk or maybe even hers.Eewww."What? It is true. We are not going on a date." She gave me the spoon to taste the sauce. "Mmhn." I gave her a thumbs up."It is good right?" She asked eargerly."Yes." I grinned at her but nevertheless added a little more pinch of salt."Cou
"She is going to make you both late on your first day of school." My mom gave me a pitiful smile as she handed me a plate of sandwhich and coffee.I gave her a grateful smile and then shrugged, "it's not the first time she will make me late on the first day of school," I adjusted the huge frame of glasses, "or any other day for that matter." I took a bite from the sandwhich."Arielle! You're going to make your brother late!" My mom shouted as she placed another plate of sandwhich and coffee on the island."I'm coming! Almost done!" She shouted back.That's what she said ten minutes ago.My mom sighed as she rolled her eyes and then proceeded to wash the dishes. "That's what she said ten minutes ago." My mom muttered as she continued scrubbing the plate under the running tap.I laughed to myself, we just said the same thing.
CHAPTER FIFTY-SEVENI was still excited about the whole engagement when I woke up in the morning. I woke up with a huge smile on my face."Baby." He called when I kept smiling at my hand where my ring was placed."Hmm" I answered not looking up."We need to talk" This, caught my attention."Is something wrong?" He shook his head No, "Everything is great we just need to make some decisions before the dinner tonight." He explained."Ok. What is it?" I asked."When do you want us to get married?" He asked me."I honestly don't care. Anytime you're ready" I answered honestly."Tomorrow then?" He said. I laughed."Really? Jake" I was still laughing."Just kidding. I just want to make you my wife so fast. I can do it now if possible." He said. "Pick any da
CHAPTER FIFTY SIXThe drive home was really quiet because I didn't know what to say. This is not me. I hate this new person that I am becoming. I've never been the insecure type. Why did the thought of wearing a dress so beautiful terrify me? Maybe because I did not want to embarrass Jake for his meeting tonight. Very close to the house Jake placed his right hand on my thigh and gave me a gentle squeeze. I turned to find him looking at me.“You're beautiful love and I love every inch of you” God no. Does he know what I was thinking?“Thank you” I forced out not wanting to act like this anymore.“I had plans for dinner as a surprise but we will just eat in today” He confessed. So there wa no meeting. I smiled.“I appreciate it, Jake,” I told him.“You’re the best thing that ever happened to me” My cheeks grew redder each second he complimented me. &nbs
CHAPTER FIFTY FIVE“Shouldn't we call your mum to bring the kids?” I asked when I stayed in each other arms.“She has them for a week” He replied, the vibration of his thick, deep voice tickling my ears.“I didn't pack their bag for a week Jake” I groaned not liking the idea of my children not being with me for this long. This would be the first time this ever happened.“I’ll do that” He offered. I laughed and got away from him.“Thanks for the offer but you and I both know that you wouldn't be able to do that,” I said standing up to walk to the bathroom. I winced in pain. I quickly sat back down.“Fuck” I mutter realizing how sour I am.Jake moved closer to me and placed his hands on my shoulders.“A massage?”
‘’Really?’’ I asked trying so hard to hide my excitement from him.‘’Yes love’’ He answered with a smile. He drops his hands to my waist letting them linger on my butt. I did not say anything about this because I really did miss his touch and having so much of his time like this. It should not be like this but I guess that’s what having children can do to you. I smiled as I looked up at him.‘’I love you so much Maria’’ He whispered with a look of pride in his eyes. I blushed so had under his gaze.‘’I love you too’’ I said back to Jake.‘’No, tell me you love me’’ He begged. I chuckled at his request but obliged.‘’I love you’’ I said to him truly. I really miss this, having him in my arms and just being with each other.
Yes, it went badly. I was supposed to spend thirty minutes max, but no, the woman decided to keep me for an extra hour and theiry minutes. I spent two fucking hours! Two fucking whole hours sitting in a coffee shop, with an old woman who I haven't seen since I was probably five or six. Now imagine eeveything that has happened in here life since then. She decided it was just the right time to tell me everything that has happened in her life, her make son's life- who is about my age range and her grandchildren life.I exhaled loudly as I opened my car door and then got out of the car as I made my way back inside the house with the huge brown envelope. I brought out my phone from my back pocket and then dialed my mom's number as I entered into the elevator."Hey mom.""Maria! How are you?""I'm fine. I'm good. I already got your envelope." I rested against the wall of the elevator as I pressed the button to the top floor."Oh t
"Is your mom still coming to pick up the kids?" I grumbled as I threw the blanket over my body and then stood up from the bed. I walked slowly towards our bathroom, ruhebbing the sleep from my eyes."Yeah, she is." He replied as he put on his black pants.I stared at my reflection in the mirror and then exhaled loudly. I picked up my toothbrush from where it is usually kept and then put the toothpaste on it. "You would be gone by then?" I asked as I poked my head into our bedroom and then started brushing my teeth as I stared at myself in the mirror."Yes. I think so.""Do you really have to go this early?" I asked as soon as I was done brushing my teeth and then walked back into our room."I do baby." He placed a kiss on my forehead, "I have an early meeting this morning."I groaned, "but we haven't been spending so much time together." I pouted."I know baby. I know and I will make it
It has been two months since Joe and Philip's wedding, August. My bundle of Joys are almost eight months old. Grayson and Arielle were busy playing with their toys, that was scattered around the living room and blabbering about whatever it is they blabber about. I have a red apple in hand as I go over the manuscript I am editing.In the last two months, I already started using glasses because I do stare at the screen of my laptop a lot and I have been having bad headaches."You actually do look sexier with your large glasses. I like it." Jake commented on it the first time he saw me wearing them.I tipped my glasses higher up on my nose to prevent it from falling off. I glanced at the large black wall clock and the time said past eight pm. I should probably take these kids to bed now.I shut down my laptop, "okay kids, it's time to go to bed." I cooed as I picked up Arielle while Grayson continued to play with his toy as he blabbered abo
Wedding bells.I love weddings. There is something about them that just makes me excited about them. It's Joe's wedding day. My best friend is getting married. and I am so happy for her. She deserves so much more after everything she has been through. And by that I mean her mother."Your make up is all done. Just a final touch." The male make up artist said as he applied his final touches to a grinning Joe. We locked gazes through the mirror and I gave her a sincere smile.I was indeed happy for my best friend and sister."That's it." The make up artist, John, smacked his lips and then Joe stood up as she walked over to me. I engulfed her in a long lasting hug."Is it bad that I am Nervous?" She chuckled slightly."No, it's not. It is perfectly normal, from everything I've read." I grinned. I could still tell she was nervous, "you are going to do fine. And no Philip is not going to walk away from the weddi
