Luke. Dinner at Tia's house was eventful. Her father got on my nerves at first, but soon we were able to patch things up and get along. I understood his pain. I had really insulted Tia the day I visited. I was ashamed that they heard everything I said. To couple that with the news that was going on
After dinner, I told my father I would like to discuss something serious with him in the office. I also requested Caleb to join us. "Luna Tia, do you mind if I hang out with you while they have their meeting?" Kimberly asked Tia nicely, and Tia looked at me for approval. I linked her that it was ok
"No, father, I do not need to threaten her like that. All I have to do is offer the barest minimum for the child or threaten to abandon the baby. She will give it up immediately. The only reason she would want to hold on to that baby is to get money out of me, but once she realises she won't be gett
Tia. Kimberly followed me quietly to the left-wing. It was amazing to see how she was warming up to me gradually. When we entered the room, she sat on the couch and put up her feet. "they are killing?" I asked her, and she smiled at me, relaxed and nodded. "Yes. My feet swell up if I don't put th
"Do not be hasty. Give him a chance to redeem himself," I pleaded with her. "I would have, Tia, but my heart doesn't beat for him the same way it used to. I am numb right now. I have saved all my love for my child." she said and rubbed her belly gently. "So you won't be around to walk me through m
Luke. TWO WEEKS LATER. Tia and I spent a lot of time indoors. I had slowed down my activities, so I could be with her as often as possible. I did not want her going through her pregnancy alone. I wanted to be there every step of the way, so I had to be less busy. Because of that, I ended up helpin
"Hey, you need to calm down. " I told him, and he sighed. We both got into the car, and I started driving. "You need to make it up to that girl because she plans on leaving after the DNA test," I told him, and he exclaimed. "You do not expect her to hang around after the way you treated her. Pregn
Luke. We waited in the hallway for Caleb to return. Tia wasn't feeling well, and I tried to convince her to go home, but she insisted. I could not stop her, but I wasn't happy that she refused to go home. We sat on the chair in the corridor of the maternity ward, and I held her. Her hands were a b
Grand aunty Ummul passed away a year ago, and we still miss her, especially Emma and Chloe. We had learned sign language because of her. We did not mourn too much because we knew she had gone to rest. Luke was glad we could care for her a little longer before she died. Aunty Amira was married with c
"You missed breakfast," Luke said, and she looked away. I noticed a hickey on her neck. She saw that I noticed and tried to cover it. "Come on, Luke, Aunty Amirah can come for breakfast whenever," I told him, and she smiled at me. Not wanting him to say anything else, I urged him to move on. "I ho
Tia SIX MONTHS LATER Luke and I woke up late, so we had to rush to prepare for breakfast. Chloe and James were peaceful babies, and even though they had nannies, we checked on them at night to ensure they were alright. They were a blessing. Paul was growing well too. Doctor Khalifa had said his he
"Stacy.." he managed with his deep voice., but it sounded weak and defeated. I looked up gradually, and his eyes were filled with tears. "I am sorry, Stacy. I was mean to you. I should have made more effort. I should have loved you harder. I take all the blame," he said, and I shook my head and sto
Stacy. I spent three months missing Aesop. It was hard. Sometimes I wished I didn't leave, but I needed time alone. All my life, I had been in someone's shadow. First, it was my parents, then Regan and then Aesop. I never had the time to discover myself and learn my weaknesses and strengths. I neve
"Every time you feel a contraction, I want you to push," She said, and I nodded. The first contraction came, and I pushed as instructed. ONE HOUR LATER I had delivered twins. A boy and a girl and the nurses had taken them to clean them up. I was anxious to see them. They had wheeled me back to the
"I know you didn't think your exit would affect him much, but it did. When he said he loved you, he meant it. When you were poisoned, he never left the hospital until the day he brought you home. He remained by your side. When he pushed you out of his room, he gave them an order at the gate not to l
"No, Luke. Let me see her first, then I will call you to bring him," I said and took out my phone to text him the address. "I am sending you her address right now," I said, and he looked a bit worried. "What is the matter, darling?" I asked him, and he sighed. "You are almost due, Tia. I would no
"Have you been able to reach Stacy?" He asked me, and I shook my head. I knew it wouldn't be easy since Caleb her son, had been unable to reach her. He travelled to Dome two months ago when she opened the foundation, and he did not meet her. She had been M.I.A. since then. It was as if she deliberat
