2020-11-26 15:58:44The sound of a shrill cry startled Rhea up from sleep, she let out a tired groan, she had just managed to get a bit of shut-eye.
She managed to raise Jason's hand off her waist and stood up from the bed.
"Urggh, why won't this baby just sleep?" Jason asked tiredly, his voice hoarse with sleep, she rolled her eyes at Jason's sleeping form.
He was more than a bit grumpy, Rhea couldn't fault him, they hadn't been having good sleep for the last two months, Theo hadn't started sleeping through the month, hell he didn't seem like he was sleeping at all.
She walked into the adjourning room that they had converted to the nursery, a wailing Theo was in his crib, flaying his closed fists, his face red with anger, he still looked angelic when he cried.
She yawned as she picked him up, he wasn't as soft and delicate as he was and he seemed to he growing everyday, even though she picked him up, he cont

"Babe, you're back," Jason said, surprise lacing his tone as he noticed her standing by the door. Rhea wiped the stray tear that was drifting from her eyes and smiled as she approached her little family."Yeah," she said still smiling as Theo had noticed her and had started crawling towards her, he was muttering what sounded like mummy and her heart just melted."Did you miss mummy?" She asked in her baby voice as she picked Theo up, littering kisses all over his face and her baby started giggling, his small voice angelic to her ears, he was definitely a mummy's boy."So no kisses for me?" Jason asked pouting a little, he looked so much like Theo when he did that."You are such a baby," she teased propping Theo on her hip and squeezing his cheeks, before she could tease him more, he planted a wet kiss on her lips, as she gasped in surprise he took the opportunity to move his tongue through her lips.

Sorry, sorry and sorry, the chapter twenty on top is wrong and i just figured it out, this is the actual chapter.Rhea woke up with feeling of a warm body wrapped around hers, she snuggled deeper into the hug of her husband, smiling to herself as she remembered the events of the night before.She felt sore, but it was a good type, her most private parts were tingling, and she felt alive in some places that she wasn't even sure existed.She just wanted to lie in his arms forever and not think about the future, and pretend like she knew what was going on in hers and Jason's relationship, but her overactive mind wouldn't let her.She couldn't tell what that night meant to Jason, she had no idea if anything had changed or if it was still the same old thing, she wasn't sure she hated him anymore, but the big question was what he felt about her.She didn't know if he still hated her, or if he wasn't still

"Rhea," her father said surprised as he saw her standing in his office, him and Seb stopped arguing as she entered into the office, by her father's flittering gaze she could tell that something was wrong, she was almost sure that she had something to do with their argument."You are late," her father said to her as she regained his composure, she just rolled her eyes at him knowing fully well that he was only saying that to distract her from the matter on ground."What were the two of you arguing about?" Rhea asked suspiciously, both her father and brother were fidgeting, well her brother was fidgeting and her father was trying to look like he was in power and all."Nothing of your concern," her father said offhandedly and sat on his chair, Rhea just glared at her father but he didn't even falter under her harsh gaze.She wanted to prod further, but she decided to keep her mouth shut, she would investigate

Rhea walked slowly into her house, the one place she had called home for almost a year, she had become so accustomed to the house and she had grown to love it, from the architecture to each and every memory she had made inside the house.Her eyes were already swollen and aching as a result of the tears she had shed, she felt so heartbroken and sad.On the drive home, she had begun to analyse everything, the wheels in her mind turning and she was trying to figure out a reason why Jason did it, if Jason did it?She reasoned that he didn't even like his father, that he always seemed to abhor him. She didn't understand it then, but everything was becoming clearer and clearer to her.After she had wiped her tears, she began to see sense in her brother's words. She still had no idea whether Jason had connived with his father or not, she wasn't even sure that he loved her, but if she gave him the divorce papers a

"We need to talk," Jason said in a serious voice as he stood by her door."About what?" She asked rudely."We should come out so we don't wake Theo," he said and Rhea came out of the room, closing the door carefully behind herself."So what do you want to talk about?" She asked again and Jason looked so resigned that she felt pity for him, but the pity quickly dissolved into anger when she remembered what he did to her."The divorce, is it really what you want?" He asked and she was shocked, she hadn't expected him to ask that.She didn't really know what to think about the question, she wanted the divorce, at least that was what she thought she wanted and so she gave him a stiff nod.Jason seemed disappointed by her answer as he swallowed. "Well if it is what you want, I will grant you your wish," he said his voice sounding low and defeated.Rhea would be
