SECOND EPILOGUE
FIVE YEARS LATER
“Show me your eyes?” Evan asked Sienna. Sienna pouted for a while and then she pointed to her eyes.
“I'm having a baby,” Annie said out of the blue, making Ella, her best friend, choke on her orange juice.Annie was relieved that she let it all out to her best friend even though she wasn't sure about her reaction. It hadn't been easy keeping something this sensitive away from Ella."You're what??" Ella asked in shock, her eyes not leaving Annie who was seated opposite her.
Annie said her goodbye to Ella. She watched as Ella’s car left her driveway and then she went back inside.Before Ella left, they talked more about how busier and crazier their life was going to be in the future months, with the baby in the picture. To be honest, Annie was a little scared about the whole thing but she was even more scared about the fact that She may not get pregnant on the first trial of the procedure and if that happens, she would have to keep trying until it worked.
Annie woke up a few minutes past seven to meet up with her appointment which was set for 9:15 am. She would rather get there early than late.She said her morning prayer, arranged her bed and then did a little cleaning after which she had breakfast. She hardly had any appetite because of how nervous she was but she had to eat something according to the Doctor’s instruction.Annie tried her best to eat as much as she could, cleaned the dishes after which she went to tak
Eric stopped what he was doing intending to continue after his visit to Doctor Myers; a man who was like a father to him.The drive to the hospital was very quiet, He couldn’t help but wonder what good news Doctor Myers had for him.A happy smile spread across his face as he thought about the possibility of what the good news could be. The smile was replaced with a frown when he remembered there was bad news also which will probably overshadow the good news. He decided
Ella woke up at exactly two minutes to six. She woke up feeling tired because she slept late the previous night. She and Annie were up till midnight, chatting and editing one of Annie’s videos that was due for upload on YouTube.From the guest room, Ella made her way to the Kitchen. She made breakfast for two, cleaned the kitchen and went back upstairs to get ready for work.By the time she was all dressed up, Annie was still sleeping, She ate half of the breakfast she
Two Weeks LaterBy now, Eric had watched all of Annie’s videos on her YouTube channel. The more he watched, the more he fell for her. He likes her already. Liking at first sight, was something Eric never believed in but it all made sense to him now. He wanted nothing more than Annie to carry his child; He wanted her to be the mother of his baby.
“Sorry, I’m late.” Annie apologized, taking a seat opposite Doctor Myers. He called her earlier and demanded to see her so they planned to meet at a restaurant close to the hospital.“It seems you had a lot of customers to attend to.” He teased and she smiled.Annie nodded, placing her small bag on the table. Today was indeed a hectic day for her.
Eric could not help but worry about Annie and his child as he waited for Doctor Myers feedback on his talk with her.He had no doubt she was going to freak out but he wanted to be there for her and their little miracle.As at the time Eric left for his apartment, there was no news from Myers. After changing into his nightwear, he got comfortable on his bed and dialled his family Doctor who picked up immediately.

EPILOGUEAnnie smiled as she watched Eric cradle one of the boys to sleep. She couldn’t tell which of her boys since his back was facing her.Fortunately, everything went well during her pregnancy. She received so much love from everyone, most especially her
Annie and Eric kept themselves busy the next day by going for baby shopping. They went to the mall to cross-check all the items they booked online the previous night and they also bought some things they thought the babies would need which they forgot to add to the list. By the time they got home, Annie was tired. Eric made lunch for her and made sure she took a nap.While Annie was taking a nap, Eric offloaded all the things they bought to the twins’ room and as soon as Annie woke up, she joined Eric and they ended up deciding they were going to change the theme of the room to a more friendly colour.
After spending a week in Dubai, two weeks in Paris and a week and a half in Rome, Annie and Eric returned home. Their honeymoon was a memorable one. They spent time exploring the word together and also made love on most nights except when Annie was tired. Still, there were times she would wake him up at midnight and beg him to make love to her. She would use the baby as an excuse for making her horny as hell.Annie and Eric decided to tell their families about the baby as soon as they got back from their honeymoon.
Annie made sure she set her alarm before she fell asleep. She woke up when it rang, said her morning prayers, thanked God for everything and committed her wedding day to God’s hand. Then she proceeded to the bathroom to do her business. She dried herself and got into her underwear and covered herself with her robe.Immediately she walked out of the bathroom there was a knock on the door. She opened the door and saw her mom and soon to be mother in law standing there with bright smiles on their faces.
Eric was not lying when he said keeping Annie’s pregnancy a secret would be the hardest thing he will ever do.There were days where he would be talking to his mom on the phone and would be tempted to spill the beans but then he would remember his promise to Annie.Annie was also finding it difficult to keep her pregnancy a secret. She was just a little over two months and she already had a small well-defined bump which had been the reason for her baggy outfit. Keeping
Days Later“Good evening Nora.” Eric greeted as he walked into the kitchen with his work clothes on.“Welcome Son.” She smiled at him. “How was your day?”
Eric was busy replying to his emails when his Secretary informed him that his sister was here to see him. He told her to let her in and she did.Almost immediately, Lucia walked in. She wasn’t sure what to do. She was embarrassed and guilty as hell. She was unsure as to how to face her brother.Eric sighed and got up behind his desk. He walked to where she was standing which was a few steps away from the door. He pulled her into a hug and that was when her tears fell.
“Babe you look different, you’re glowing” Ella exclaimed as she hugged Annie once more.Annie chuckled. “I guess that’s what happens when you take a vacation.”“I need to warn Eric not to take you away for that long. Gosh, Annie, three weeks without me talking to you. Damn, I almost died.” Ella said which made Annie chuckle.
