The next morning I prepared a very strong coffee, because my hunger had tripled and it wasn't just any little thing that satisfied me. I made chocolate waffles, bacon and eggs, the good old cereal and I couldn't miss my strawberry smoothie.When I was almost finished, the door opened and Jordan walked through it, he didn't sleep at home last night and I can already imagine where he was yesterday."Good morning Sam.” he says when he notices my presence, approaching and placing a kiss on my forehead."Good morning. You want? There are even chocolate waffles." I say and he nods as he sits down next to me."Thanks, I really needed it. I barely ate last night." he says and I notice the deep circles under his eyes. I get up and go to the kitchen getting a cup and putting coffee for him and taking it to him."Take it here, it will help a little." I say while handing him the cup.He looks at me for a few seconds and, saying nothing, smiles sideways and shakes his head. I sit down again and to
As I gaped at the monitor screen and at Patrick, I felt Jordan's hand slip from mine. My heart was a thousand an hour, after all, I was only waiting for a baby, in the last two ultrasounds I had done, only a single fetus appeared, nothing of a second.I looked at the father of this... These children that I'm having, and he was literally white, pale, looked like he was going to pass out any moment in that room."How come twins? Two? But Patrick, but…” I sat down on the gurney and tried to come up with a train of thought."Two? Holy shit.” Jordan walked over and sat next to me, I touched her hand and, she was super cold."Is everything okay?” I ask softly and he takes a deep breath and looks at me.“I'm just, I'm just surprised.” he says."Patrick" I turn my gaze to him, and he watches me "How is that possible? Can you explain it to us?” He nods."Jordan needs you to get up please, and Sam needs to lie down again. So I'll show better and explain." he says and we agree.As soon as I lay d
We were lying on the couch and naked.Jordan kept his head on my legs and I stroked his head, running my fingers through his blond strands. The silence wasn't uncomfortable, everything was quiet after what we did there in that room. I didn't regret it, I didn't feel guilty, in fact I had enjoyed a lot of what happened between the two of us. But there was one detail that I was aware of: Brenner had someone, he was with Jessica, even though he never told me and, it was something I already suspected even before I met her and I didn't want to come between the two, I wouldn't spoil their relationship, for my mere desires."Jordan?" I call him.“Hm.""I don't want to spoil the mood, but I know you have someone else and I don't think it's fair what happened here." I speak and hear him sigh. Jordan then turns to me."How can you be sure of that? I mean, about me having someone?” she asks."Maybe it's because I see your reactions when you're on the phone, or when you sleep outside and arrive s
A few days had passed, since the sex with the father of my children.Everything was normal between us, nothing that made us uncomfortable, Jordan still joked asking if I wanted to have one more. I confess that I almost gave in, but I didn't, not when there's someone else in the middle.Today I woke up missing home, the place I grew up where my mother remembers, I missed Sean too, I used to We haven't seen each other in a while and my heart even hurts remembering that. My brother could act like an asshole sometimes, but he also knew how to act like a friend, we had our moments before all these things happened and I miss them.My father hasn't looked for me since the wedding, he wasn't even present. I don't know exactly what happened, because he wasn't like that, he was always loving to me even though he was always far away from home and now, behaves like a true stranger, as if I don't even exist. Jordan's parents are always in touch, not only with their son but also with me. Whenever t
Jessica's trips to the apartment have become constant.Jordan doesn't even do or say anything, I wanted to reach out and throw her out but, they were together before I even thought I could be pregnant. I wouldn't forbid them, but I wouldn't stay there watching either. My children's father tried to talk to me too, but he didn't want to, he didn't want excuses from him, I just wanted him to keep his word to be with me and the babies until the first months of their lives.To complete, I dream every night about the revival we had and, my chest hurts without explanation, I didn't want to feel that for someone other than mine. How could I have developed feelings for that idiot in such a short time?"Samantha? Everything for you if I borrow this dress? I'm going out and I didn't bring anything here." the brunette enters my room without even knocking."It's my favorite dress, Jessica." I say and she rolls her eyes and takes the dress anyway.“Come on Sam, it doesn't fit you anymore. Look how y
"I was worried about you Sam. The dinner you were going to give was canceled, they didn't say why and you just disappeared." said my brother."It wasn't intentional at all, I was feeling bad these days. Are your nephews making a mess inside of me?" I say and he widens his eyes."Nephews? But what? Sam!" I laugh at his face."I'm pregnant with twins, a couple.” I rub my belly and he smiles sideways.."Fuck! You know your life is going to turn 360 degrees, right?" he jokes."It's done little brother, it's done." I rest my head on his shoulder and close my eyes for a while, until Sean brings up a subject again.Spending an afternoon with my brother was not in my plans, but just being able to see him made me feel a little happier, it warmed my heart.I asked about our father and according to Sean, he doesn't even show up at home anymore, he's always traveling and shows a happiness that hasn't been seen in a while. With that, I came to the conclusion that he was probably getting involved w
I close my eyes and soon feel the mattress sink a little. I shiver when he runs his hand down my neck, down my spine.That feeling warmed me all over, made my heart flutter, and I didn't want it to end, not really.When I open my eyes and see an extremely beautiful, blond and pink-lipped boy staring at me. Jordan had asked me for a chance, and even though I was afraid of getting hurt, I ended up accepting it and now I'm here in my room, with him by my side and keeping me company.FLASHBACK ON"I remember very well what I proposed to you that day, but things are different now.” he says and I'm confused."Many different? What changed Jordan?” My heart races."I like Jessica, but I'm also liking you. I was just trying to take things along because of the babies, but now I'm going crazy about not really having you.” I hold my breath."Jordan, no.” I speak and stand up."Why not? Tell me.” He approaches me."Because I know that I will really fall in love with you and I also know that at one
"Good morning.” says Jordan as he enters the room and places a kiss on my forehead."Good morning, are you going to be late today?" I ask."I'm about to give up going to university and staying here with you.” he says and smiles."How I wanted..." I pout and he gives me a peck."Yeah, but unfortunately I can't. I have a paper due today, and I need to talk to Jessica. I need to put an end to everything." I agree with him.We stayed talking for a while longer, until Jordan left the house. After finishing my coffee, I washed the dishes and organized the apartment.I was feeling light, so light that I noticed that I was bouncing around in all the rooms as I cleaned.When I stopped in the bathroom and looked at myself in the mirror, I had a huge smile on my face, it looked like I was in love. Shit, not really.I tried to put it out of my mind, and went back to my on-the-spot cleaning.Once I was done, I literally threw myself on the couch and took a deep breath. She needed a good shower, an
I could only feel the impact of my body on each step, but when I reached the end of the stairs, the blow to my head was strong enough to make me dizzy, and my eyes went dark, I could only hear voices around me, screams and nothing else. The pain I felt was so great that it left me in a complete daze, my arms didn't move at all and I wanted to touch my belly, to know that my little ones were okay, that everything would be fine. But I couldn't even do that, my voice wouldn't come out and my consciousness was almost gone. "Sam?" I heard someone's voice calling me, but it was so far away, my body was starting to float. "Oh my God! It's really Sam." someone else shouted. I felt cold hands touching me and I couldn't tell who it was, I forced my eyes open but they wouldn't open, I just wanted to cry and scream. "Someone call the ambulance" I hear a female voice "No Jordan, don't move her, it's dangerous," I hear a familiar voice and I try to move. "She can't stay like this, look at her
Jordan was beaming. He made a point of showing me his smile all the time and his eyes sparkled so much. I was proud of him, of what he had done. I could see Jeremy completely surprised, happy and full of pride for his eldest son and it warmed my heart. With Susan, my mother-in-law, it was no different because her eyes were watering with so much happiness with everything that had been done there. People couldn't stop talking, praising, having fun and of course, the auctions that were taking place in the halls of that mansion were sensational because everyone was buying and contributing. While my dear husband was talking to several businesspeople, I decided to walk a little around the area, which by the way was very crowded, I don't know where so many businesspeople came from. I smiled to myself and continued my walk, until from afar I saw a scene that was a bit, let's say compromising and quite interesting. My brother and sister-in-law were in a corner a little isolated from the othe
Third Person POV: The following weeks flew by; Sam entered the second week towards the end of her pregnancy. The young woman was eager for the birth of her children, and nothing would hinder her happiness. Jordan was always present, and seeing that his partner was doing well in the final stretch comforted his heart. However, knowing that the big day of the charity event for the family company was just two days away disturbed him. He wanted to earn his parents' pride, his father's approval for the profession he wanted to pursue, and despite the fear, he would fight for it until the end. Samantha stood in front of the mirror, examining her body and the changes it underwent during pregnancy. Her belly was enormous, and it had lowered a bit. She noticed fine stretch marks on her skin and took a deep breath, giving herself the best smile. She wouldn't be discouraged by that; after all, despite not romanticizing pregnancy and knowing everything she had been through, Sam felt good. After a
Emma was sitting next to me, while sighing in love with the guy she had met, but she didn't want to tell me his name. According to her, nothing is certain yet and she didn't want to be disappointed and leave others looking on with pity. I understand that she wants to avoid the possibility of disappointment and the look of pity that, according to her, she would receive from her friends and family. Sometimes, people keep their passions a secret until they are more sure about the relationship, which was partly the case with me and your brother and this is sometimes a form of emotional protection, but we still end up getting hurt, I believe that Getting hurt in a relationship is part of everything and every process, what you don't accept is being despised and mistreated or even having the person as an emotional attachment, this screws with our insides. Ultimately, as her friend, I will respect her privacy and give her the support she needs, regardless of the decisions she makes regarding
Even after being discharged from the hospital, I knew I had to do my best to assist with the final details of the company's charity event. Even though the pressure from Jordan and my mother-in-law to rest was understandable, I felt determined and compelled to contribute in the best way possible given the circumstances. I carefully planned my day, prioritizing a balance between rest and work. I decided to do my work in small intervals, avoiding overexertion and ensuring that I could still rest. I worked focusing on the most crucial details of the event. I used my notebook extensively to facilitate my searches and task management. Before we knew it, we had successfully completed the preparations to ensure the event's success, for Jordan, and for his father to see that he was good at what he did. Our commitment to the event was unwavering. We discussed how we could divide the tasks in a way that wouldn't be too demanding for both of us, considering my recovery and well-being. Jordan an
Once again, I found myself in a hospital bed. It seems to have become a sort of karma in my life, and it's truly frustrating. The twins were almost born prematurely, but we made it to the hospital in time, and everything was under control. At this moment, I was resting, under observation for 48 hours, until everything was stable, and I could go home. Jordan, as always, never left my side, not even when Emma or Sean asked him to. He has been an anchor through all these moments. I know he feels guilty, not just for the drastic start to our marriage, but because of Jessica. Mostly her. Despite the mistakes, I know her illness is not his fault, as during their initial involvement, she already showed symptoms, but they never took the time to seek information. Even though Jessica did that, I don't blame her either. I have resentments, fears, and yet she is not to blame for the illness she has. Her bipolar disorder is terrible, and she never imagined she had it and would need treatment. I
I close my eyes as I taste the risotto that Jordan talked about so much and it was delicious. That would definitely be the starter dish, no argument."Is that the one?" asks the blonde next to me."No doubt! Madam, can you bring us the next dishes so we can choose the main one." I say and the lady with well-groomed gray hair smiles and leaves towards the kitchen.Minutes later I see several waiters bringing all kinds of food, making my mouth water."Try this one Sam." says Jordan and I open my mouth and bite into a piece of fillet.The meat was juicy and tender, it was just right. I let out an involuntary moan and my husband laughed at me."Sorry Mrs. Edith, but it's delicious." I say and she smiles."Imagine dear, you can feel free. I know very well how our body works and tastes during pregnancy." I smiled gratefully at her at the same moment.The next thing was grilled chicken breast, with rice and mashed potatoes, and there I was, dying in love with all that food.[...]Hours later
Samantha pov'sJordan was spoiling me a lot.I felt like a real baby and I confess: I loved all that attention coming from him.A few days ago I completed seven months of pregnancy and it was being very tiring for me. I didn't even know what it was like to sleep normally, babies moved too much and that caused me a lot of pain, at times. Apart from that I had put on a lot of weight, and my feet were twice the size, no sandals fit anymore and my clothes then, not to mention. Reaching this gestation period was leaving me with low self-esteem, which never happened to me.I take a deep breath and get out of bed with a little difficulty, I need to take a shower, feed my children, because this hunger I feel is not normal, right after that I'll need to help Jordan, in two months it's the company's fundraiser, and we need to see the invitation model to approve and send it as soon as possible. We were able to rent a space that would be perfect for the occasion. It was a famous singer's mansion,
Seeing that decapitated fetus made me nauseous, and a really bad feeling inside of me.Whoever sent that did it with the intention of provoking and threatening us. But who would do this kind of thing, are you mean?Sam had a blood pressure drop from the scare, I called Sean and called the police too. Sean arrived with my sister, and I found it strange, and soon after the police arrived. I followed Sam to the hospital, my brother-in-law and sister stayed at my apartment to clean up.Sam underwent some tests, an ultrasound was done and everything was fine with her and the babies. The fainting was caused by the drop in pressure, due to the fright she had suffered.My mind was spinning, trying to find a culprit, trying to imagine who would do such a thing, but nothing came.I was angry, worried and with a lot of hate inside me, now that things were moving forward between me and my wife, a motherfucker tries to screw everything up. But it won't stay like that, I'm going to find out who was
