Doctor Green came to check between Elisabeth's legs with his hands and then nodded. "Okay, Miss Barnes, you are fully dilated. I want you to push the moment you feel a contraction. Do not push until you feel the contractions, Okay?" he said to her, and she nodded and began to push, squeezing my han
"So you think the baby isn't yours?" she asked, and I did not know what to say. The baby had dark hair like mine, Elisabeth and Joey did not have dark hair, but then again, as much as I hate to say this about a woman, Elisabeth was a slut. There was a possibility there were other people. One thing I
Luke. I did not know what to say. My father was smiling, and I knew he had no clue what was happening. "What about the DNA test?" I asked Doctor Green. "The baby is yours, Alpha, but he has no key mark." Doctor Green replied, and my father exclaimed. "What? Do you mean the child isn't an heir? A
"Luke.. what about our baby? I know he is yours. You are the only one I slept with without protection. That is your heir. Would you let your father kick me out with your only heir? Your wife has been unable to conceive all these months. If you do this, I will cut you off from us, and you will regret
"My baby, my baby" was all she could manage between sobs. "Leave her be, Tia. It is time to go home; you need to rest. Pregnancies are difficult in the early stages," my father said, and when Tia did not leave Elisabeth quickly enough, he went to separate them. "I want you to pack your things and
Tia. We stayed at the cliff a bit until Luke's heartbeat steadied. We were not expecting this to happen, but Dr Green had warned that there might be complications because of the damned meds that Elisabeth took. As much as I hated the woman, my heart went out to her when she realised the extent of t
"Well enough," I said, and he sighed. "I need to speak to him about something." He said, and I shook my head even though he could not see me. "No, father, this is not the right time," I said, and he sighed. "Tia, what I want to discuss with your husband is urgent. It might save that boy's life. I
"Why can't we fly in the specialist and the nanny to care for the baby here?" I said, and my father looked at me. "Apart from the fact that this equipment cannot be moved, you cannot care for a child with special needs, Tia. You might feel you can do it now, but you will be stressed out. In the sta
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
