2024-10-29 19:42:56Elli was sitting on her bed in the room that was said to be hers when she was small when there was a soft knock on her door on an early Friday morning. It has been two weeks since she walked out from SJ’s house. Two weeks of crying and moping. Two weeks of waiting for him to come knocking on her door and asking her to come back. Two weeks of missing him terribly.
SJ had never bothered. She kept checking her phone for any messages or calls from him. She didn’t get even just one. It only broke her heart even more.
The knock came again.
“Come in.”
She wiped her tears when she saw her father at the doorway, looking at her with concern.
“Sweetheart, you need to eat,” her father said as he took the tray from the help behind him and entered her room. He gently placed it on the foot of the bed before pulling up a chair beside her and sat down. “You need to eat for that baby you’re carrying.”

Year 2022SJ thanked the guard as he opened the swing door to Kincaid Tower the following Tuesday morning. He nodded as the employees greeted him politely. He walked towards his elevator and pressed the button calmly and waited patiently.“Kincaid!”He turned and saw Brian walking towards him, bringing his wife’s belongings. Florence is following behind him slowly, who is five months pregnant.“I told you that you can take that indefinite leave I offered,” SJ commented to her when she was finally beside them. “I don’t want your husband here to storm my office and harass me if anything happens to you while you’re here.”“I’ll be bored to death,” Florence answered, rolling her eyes. “Besides, Paige said that the baby is doing fine. Are you coming for the gender reveal party?”“I’m not sure yet,” SJ said calmly. “It’s the semi-final

Elli alighted from the car she is riding as she finally arrived home from Paige’s off-site clinic appointment. She was silently glad that Paige made that arrangement for her instead at the hospital. She thanked her father’s long-time butler, James Garcia, who also knows her and her mother.“Where’s Betty?” She asked softly.“She went to her therapy, Madam,” James answered formally. He followed few paces behind her. “Shall I have some refreshments brought up to your room? Your father called, reminding us that once you arrived home that you will be resting.”“That’s alright. I ate together with a friend after my check-up,” she answered. “If dad calls, please tell him not to worry. He’s making me crazy.”James smiled and nodded.Elli carefully made her way up to her room, sitting on her bed when she entered.“You’re glowing,” Paige commen

SJ waited anxiously as the Grande’s butler finally went up the stairs to call his wife. However, before he did that, the butler called her father, upon his instructions, to inform him of his visitation. He was tapping one foot non-stop and gripping his hands tightly. “Will you relax?” Vincent advised wryly. “Let me do the talking first, alright?” “I haven’t seen her in a month,” SJ said. “The last time we saw each other, she was angry at me.” “I couldn’t blame her,” Vincent mused dryly. “Try that doing to your wife and let me know what’s the outcome,” SJ challenged at him. He smoothed his hair calmly and looked at his watch. “What the hell is taking her long to come down?” Vincent smirked lightly. “She’s probably deciding to come down or not,” Vincent answered as he leaned back on the sofa and smiled up thankfully at the helper that is serving them their drinks. “I mean, she left you with anger in her and you never did apologize, so I’

“Are you insane?!”Elli remained silent, squirming on her seat as Paige started to lecture her the following day as she came back to her clinic. Her father sat beside her, his arms over his chest and looking at her stonily. It was Elliot who had to dragged her back to Paige’s clinic and tell what Elli is planning to do.“Elli, have you any idea what’s going to happen to you and the baby you’re carrying?!” Paige exclaimed intently. She looked down at her with her arms crossed over her chest. “Even a small or light collision will cause trauma to your abdomen. I know that you’re just three months but what you’re entering is a high-risk for you and the baby!“I’m going to be careful,” Elli explained.“The hell you’re going to be careful because right now, I’m not allowing it!” Paige hollered seriously. “I’m not going to let you do this, Elli.

SJ went out from the conference room that same day and proceeded to his private elevator with Debra behind him, pushing the button up to his office.“Congratulations on your reinstatement, sir,” Debra said with a smile. “I knew that they couldn’t handle everything without you.”“I’m sure whatever’s going to happen, you will be on my side, huh, Deb?” He asked with a lopsided grin.Debra looked at him seriously.“You know where my loyalty lies,” she responded.SJ loosened his tie as the elevator doors opened to his floor and he stepped out automatically.“Do I still have any appointments today?” He asked.“None, so far,” Debra replied. “Shall I hold everything off in case there will be any?”He nodded as he took out his phone and pressed one on his keypad. He waited patiently for Elli to pick up her phone. “Hi,” he gr

Elli watched intently as SJ turned for his second to the last lap the following day in the afternoon. She sat beside her Uncle Norbert and gripped her hands tightly while glancing at the stopwatch.“He’s improving, dear but he needs more speed,” Norbert commented.“He’s leaning a little over to the left,” she said calmly. She thought back on her observations for the last two hours. “Perhaps, if he shifts his weight a little to the right and get the balance the car needs, he’s going to up on his time.”She looked up when she heard some noise not far from them.“Looks like the next team to practice is here,” Vincent said tersely. “I should have paid another two hours. SJ needs time to master the track.”“He’s getting better,” Elli commented softly.She looked back at the speeding car and suddenly remembered how he looked so hot and gorgeous in his r

Race Day, Semi-FinalsElli woke up at the sound SJ is making from the bathroom very early in the morning. She could hear him cursing and she stood up, putting on her silk robe and walking towards the bathroom. She found him throwing up on the sink, his hands braced on the counter. His shirt on the bathroom floor, soiled.“I told you not to eat too much shrimp,” she scolded lightly as she stood beside him and start rubbing and patting his back. She watched as he gagged to get everything out until he finally stood up straight, inhaling and exhaling deeply before washing his face. “I’ll get you something to drink. Will you be alright? Good thing the race is in the afternoon. You still have enough time to recover.”SJ nodded after wiping his face.She followed behind him back to their bedroom and pushed him to sit down. She then went out and opened the ref, pulling out a noncaffeinated sports drink and grabbing one banan

Elli walked beside her husband that same day, more than an hour away from the start of the race at the racing team’s holding area. She looked at their entwined fingers and she felt tears welling up behind her ears. She blinked quickly to recover herself.SJ is also silent beside her as he only pulled her away from the group to have some alone time with her. He’s already wearing his racing uniform but didn’t put on the top part yet and still hanging by his waist.“You’re going to be great,” she finally said, breaking the silence.He smiled as he brought their hands to his lips and kissed hers.“I will be,” he answered.Elli moved closer and wrapped her free arms around his waist and rested her head on his chest, feeling his heart beating gently. His heart that just declared his love for her. She remembered waking up before him later that morning and she studied his face, still deep in his sleep.

7 Years Later… SJ looked up from the contract document that he is reviewing inside his office at the sound of his two sons, squealing and laughing at the game they are playing with their playmates. He smiled at the sound of them enjoying the sunny afternoon. After scanning through the document one more time, he finally signed on his name indicated below and closed the folder and putting it on his outgoing tray. He stood up and walked towards the glass door that will lead him out to where his sons are. He stood there for a while and watched as seven-year-old Michael run happily while holding a giant pinwheel in his one hand as his younger brother Alexander Philip, who just turned five last month, was running after him, clapping happily. Their nannies were keeping a close watch on them while he saw William arranging the long table outside by the pool with Cherry and two more helpers. “My turn!” Alexander exclaimed as he pointed at the pinwheel.

Elli leaned on the bed that night two months after she got out of the hospital and watched as SJ continued swaying their baby and humming lightly to get him to sleep. The look on his face squeezed her heart so tight, the look of pure love visible on his face. It's been two months since that eventful night. Who would have thought that something dreadful and dangerous had led to something much more memorable with the birth of their son? Michael Elliot Kincaid. Elli could feel tears in her eyes when SJ told her the name that he wants for their first born. The name is not from someone in his family but from hers. She remembered hugging him so tight that he had thought of Michael Porter. She was planning to use that name on their future children. “Well, if it wasn’t for him, we wouldn’t have gotten married in the first place,” SJ pointed out with a smile. He gave her a long kiss. “I told your dad about it, and he was more than happy about it. I also discus

SJ watched, with tears in his eyes as the baby was finally laid on Elli’s arms and she lovingly cuddled him, looking down at him with so much love in her eyes. The baby is continuing to cry in his mother’s arms.“Hi, baby,” Elli whispered softly, rocking him gently. The baby, somehow felt familiar with the voice that is soothing him, started to lower his cries. “Mommy’s here. I’m so happy to see you. I love you so much, sweetheart. You just made me the happiest person, right now.”Elli turned towards him and smiled up at him widely.“I love you,” SJ said as he kissed her head gently and his one hand shakily touch the top of the head of his first-born. He could feel tears running down his face. “Hello, son. Daddy’s here now.”The two looked down at their baby lovingly, just feeling the joyful moment it brings them.“I hate to interrupt this moment, guys, but I need y

Elli finally stood up, holding on to the grab rails, from the bowl after she finally relieved herself and pulled up her underwear carefully. She winced a bit when she felt a pain on her lower back as well as her belly. She turned to flush down the toilet and noticed that she had a pinkish discharge on the bowl, and she took note of that for her next appointment with Paige.“Marissa, do you have my phone?” She called out softly. “I’ll call SJ and tell him that I want to go upstairs to the room and rest. I don’t feel like going back to the function anymore.”“Yes, Madam,” Marissa answered softly. “I’ll have your phone ready when you come out.”Elli heard the door to the bathroom open when she had another pain shot up her belly. She massaged her stomach gently, breathing slowly and calmly. After a few minutes, she finally decided to unlock the door of the stall that she occupied.“Do you

SJ looked at his watch for the fourth time and looked towards the doorway and waiting for Elli to appear back from the bathroom. He is tapping his hand lightly on his leg, a motion that his mother had accidentally saw when she turned to receive her wine.“Is something wrong, dear?” Mrs. Kincaid asked in concern.“Elli’s not yet back from the bathroom,” he answered calmly.“Give her another two minutes, dear,” she replied, putting a hand on his and squeezed it lightly. “It usually takes a little longer for pregnant women.”SJ nodded and pulled out his phone. He dialed Stu’s number and waited for the bodyguard to answer his phone. He grimaced and cursed silently when his call went unanswered. He pressed the number again and still his call went unanswered.He looked up and motioned to Sam.“Yes, sir?”“Please check on my wife,” he whispered straightly. &l

SJ held Elli’s hand as he gently assisted her down the Range Rover late Friday afternoon in the driveway, fronting The Grande Duchess Hotel, who is fully lighted for its inauguration. He made sure that her dress behind is flowing neatly.“Thanks,” Elli said with a smile and her hand automatically went to her stomach, which is now round and big. “Do you have my jacket?”He nodded as he placed them around her shoulders.Elli is now nine-months pregnant and in a few days will be giving birth to their baby.A son.SJ couldn’t hide his happiness when during their gender reveal, the baby is a boy.

Elli hugged her grandmother after the wedding ceremonies were over as well as the picture taking was completed. As instructed by SJ and getting her consent, they allowed one official photo by photographer be uploaded by the wedding organizer that SJ had hired. It created a buzz online the moment it was uploaded. “I can’t believe you came all the way here, Grams,” Elli said with a smile after giving her a kiss on the cheek. “I’m so happy that you’re here. As well as with you, Grandpa and Uncle.” She then hugged them both. Elli was glad that she decided to go overseas and see her mother’s family last year. She spent most of her time with her grandfather, who she knew was a hard man based on her mother’s journals as well as from her father. It took her a while but finally, she was able to convince him that she will lead the life that she wants. “That man better take care of you, Ellisande,” Phillip Montagu said seriously as he hugged her tightly.

SJ watched lovingly as Elli stood at the end of aisle while Luisa, Paige and Jasmine helped put on the veil that was included in the dress that he had custom-made for her. He saw her smile widely when she was handed the bouquet of flowers made of peonies, tulips, and roses with some lush greens.That night when Elli had told him about their baby where he couldn’t sleep, he decided to give her a surprise.He will marry her all over again.With their wedding anniversary coming up in less than two weeks, he had to pull a lot of strings to make everything happen.

SJ gently pulled a sleeping Elli to him and watched her snuggle automatically closer to him. He dropped a soft kiss on her forehead and just continued watching.He could not sleep even after making love to her.He just can’t. Not after getting the best news in his life.“I’m going to be a dad?” He asked when he finally stood up. “You’re not joking, right?”Elli shook her head with a smile, tears running down her cheeks. “This is supposed to be my surprise for you once we get to Le Bernardin,” she answered as she took the ultrasound photos from him and looked down at it lovingly. “But I got upset when I saw you pull those brakes.”SJ chuckled as he placed both hands on her face.“I knew you can make it to top five when you were still practicing,” she said softly. She placed her hands on his as well and smiled through tears. “I watched the replay of the race be
