"And now as for the gender of the baby..." The doctor said and both Autumn and I looked at each other waiting to see if we were having a boy or a girl. "Actually, it turns out the baby doesn't wanna let us know just jet. It turned so it's hard to see. Maybe by the next appointment, it will change its mind." Autumn just smiled as the doctor removed the wand and the nurse whipped down the gel from her stomach. "We know what is important, and that's that the baby is ok." I say as get up and kiss her belly then cover it up with a blanket. "I'll bring you the discharge papers in a moment so you can help her get dressed, Richard said he'll be here soon with the helicopter." The doctor said before he left the room. "Are you excited about going home?" I ask her even tho I know the answer. "I'm just glad I get to leave this room, I can't stand the smell of it anymore." Autumn didn't like hospitals beforehand, it reminded her of her mother and how she died. Maybe deep down that's the reason
"That's what we are traveling in?" Autumn asked as I pushed her in a wheelchair towards the helicopter. "Yes, it's the quickest way of traveling. You're not scared are you?" Truth be told traveling by helicopter wasn't one of my favorites either but I can manage. "It just looks so... I don't know...are you sure we can take the car?" She asks as we stop in front of it. "Baby, it's going to be ok. It's safe, trust me. And the view is not something you want to miss." I put my hand under her arm as she puts her hands around my neck while I lift her up to carry her in and strap her in the seat as Richard joins us. "Ready to go home?" He asks Autumn as he buckles his safety belt. "She is a bit nervous about flying." I say as I take her hand. "In that one movie I watched with Summer the helicopter lost one of his flying things and went crashing down, so excuse me if I'm a bit skeptical." She says as one of her hands grips the side of the chair. I knew I shouldn't have let them wat
"Autumn dear, so good to finally have you back. I'm your aunt Eloise." Eloise greats Autumn with a big hug before taking a step back and Alex steps forward. "I'm your cousin Alex and this is my twin brother Sasha. We missed you around here." Alex said as Sasha stepped forward. "This is our Mrs.Hendrics, if you ever need anything she will get it for you. She makes sure this house runs perfectly." Sasha said as he put his arm around Mrs.Hendrics before she looked at him dead seriously and he took the arm away. "Anything you need, no matter the hour just call for me and I'll be there." Mrs.Hendrics looks like a tough lady, but when she talks you can sense from her voice just how caring she actually is. "Did you prepare the room for Mr.Davis?" Richard asked and Adam looked surprised by the news. "Of course, I prepared the one next to Miss Autumn. His suitcases are already in there and the maids are taking care of everything as we speak." Sharing a room is out of the question but at le
As Autumn falls asleep I gently move her over onto a pillow and cover her with a blanket before quietly slipping out of the room and bed downstairs to find Richard. "Mrs.Hendrics have you seen Richard?" I ask her as we meet by the stairs. "Mr.Cromwell is in his office, I believe you remember where it is." From the day of the party, yes. "Thank you, Autumn is asleep so make sure no one bothers her, please." I say before heading downstairs to the office. Just as I come near the door I hear Adam talking with Richard. "With all due respect Uncle Richard, I can't believe you let him move into your house." Of course, I was his problem. "I insist we should have put some distance between Autumn and him, they weren't together before the accident. She didn't want to be with him. He is clearly using her memory loss to get close to her." Adam is trying to put a wedge between her family and me. He can't stand losing, but I'll make him see he can't lose what he never had. "Autumn feels good aro
"You have no business here, I thought I made it clear you're not welcomed around my family." Richard said but the woman didn't care for his words instead, she just laughed as she looked around. "May I remind you this was supposed to be my family as well but our father failed to give me his last name before he died." Wait, she was his sister? I thought he only had one sister, Eloise. "Yes, but you settled for the money instead. So I don't understand what is your business here now Rachel?" Richard asked her. "Well, I saw in the papers you now apparently have a daughter, spectacular party may I add. I guess my invitation got lost in the mail, lucky for you I don't hold on to grudges." Rachel said before her eyes settled on me. "Mr.Davis Jones, how lovely it is to meet you." She said as she extended her hand towards me but I didn't take it. From the looks of it she would be around forty, hard to say with all the work she appears to have done to her face. "I'm sorry and you are?" I ask
"Alice." Her name leaves my lips as I hear her voice over the phone. "Did you miss me? Because I've missed you." Her cynical voice made my stomach twist as anger boiled inside of me."How dare you call me after everything you have done?" I ask her as I move away from the door so Autumn can't hear me."Where are you?" I asked her then heard her laugh on the other end of the line."You don't actually think I'm going to tell you where I am." No, I did not."Then what the hell do you want from me?" "I just wanted to ask how Autumn was, but I guess she didn't die since there was nothing in the papers. She really is God's favorite, all of my efforts were in vain. It seems she really is a woman of steel." Alice said with a mocking voice."You can't run forever, sooner or later the police are going to find you and I'll make sure you rot in hell." Not just her, but her mother as well."Such rough words, is that any way to talk to a friend, why don't I call you once you're more calm down." Ali
"Did you feel that, it did it again? It's the first time I felt it kick." Autumn said as amaised as I was."Yes, he or she is definitely playing football in there." I can't even begin to explain the mix of feeling within me right now. The happiness and joy of my child kicking inside of the woman who I love more than life itself. And that baby is not even in my arms yet but I already know I would kill anyone who would ever try to hurt it."Wait, do you think the baby can feel when we...? Autumn lifts her eyebrows and points between us. How would I know, this is the first time I was going to be a father. It just down on me that there is a shit ton of stuff that I don't know."No, I don't think so. Do you?" She is the mother, she should feel it."I don't know that. I never thought about it." Apparently, we are both undereducated in baby topics. "You know what, I'm gonna go out and buy us all the best books about babies and we can read them together. We"ll learn together." I say as I gent
I hold the note in my hands as I look around myself trying to see if anyone was there. But this had to be Alice. And before in the parking lot in New York, that had to be her too. There was no trace of her leaving the country because she never left. She was still here, lurking. And now she knows about the baby which makes her so much more dangerous. But she can't come close to Autumn, there is no way for her to enter the Cromwell mansion. It doesn't mean she's not going to try. "Where are you? Come out and face me!" I yell and an old woman comes out of her car looking at me like I was crazy. "Sorry." I say before getting in the car and driving away. The whole ride back to the Cromwells I spent looking into my rearview mirror trying to see if anyone was following me, I even took a few wrong turns before getting to the entrance where security opened the door for me. I got out of the car and saw Miguel coming from the back of the house. "Just who I needed to see, do you know where
