2024-10-29 19:42:56February was here before I knew it. We had moved into our house and I was absolutely in love with it. Ariel, Sylvia and Natalia had repainted and redone everything exactly the way Aiden and I had requested, even our nursery which was three doors down on the left from our room. The walls were black minus a few painted galaxies, including the Milky Way and nebula galaxies on different walls. There were also the different constellations made with the glow in the dark star stickers all over. It was really well done. Up against one wall was two changing stations, one purple and one grey. The wall opposite had two matching cribs against it. There were two black rocking chairs and dozens of stuffed animals everywhere. On the wall next to the door were two dressers the same colors as everything else which were full of clothes.
The changing stations, most of the clothes, most of the stuffed animals and a dozen or so toys for each of the twins had all been g

As his lips pressed against mine he slowly used his body to push me down into the bed. I inhaled his sweet musky scent deeply as his tongue invaded my mouth. He tasted sweet like he had just eaten chocolate, which was normal for him. He smelt like his favorite cologne, the one I had bought him for our one year anniversary. Wait what was I doing? I pushed on his chest and he stopped kissing me. He pulled his head back and looked deeply into my eyes with longing. Those gorgeous hazel eyes were my weakness and he knew it. His mouth frowned and all I wanted was to pull those lips back to mine. I wanted to kiss him but it felt wrong. Why did it feel wrong? Didn't I love him? I could see the question burning deep in his eyes. " Please stop." I said weakly while trying to catch my breath. This was wrong but I couldn't figure out why. I tried to look around, we were in his room back at his parents house. I could tell by the smell of the dragon

I wasn't sure when I had fallen asleep. I just remember feeling so heart broken and tired from crying. Teighlor was rubbing my back in small circles.I knew my back was tense for so many reasons but it was comforting. It almost made me think that she knew what I had seen. I doubted that though. Even if she had an idea of what I had seen I really didn't want to talk about it. The thought of it all formed a lump in my throat and made me want to start crying all over again. I had to be strong though, at least for her. I didn't want her knowing just how broken I really was over seeing Mark with another woman.I rolled over and put my head on her lap. She looked sad, was it for me or because of something else? "I take it you skipped classes because you found out about Mark and Carmen?" So Carmen was my replacements name. She looked prettier than me and her name sounded prettier than mine. It was no wonder as to why he had already moved on. &

I inspected myself in the mirror. My friends had made me look beautiful in a way I didn't think was possible. Teighlor picked my black dress that had straps going across the chest that looked like an upside down star and my favorite black shorts to wear underneath. The shorts were basically like leggings but shorts that's why I bought them in the first place. They were mostly just to hide the bandage on my thigh and the cuts if I decided to take the bandage off at some point tonight. I mostly loved this dress though because it really accentuated my breasts and I was almost a hundred percent sure that's why Teighlor chose it. She had also insisted I wear my favorite Demonia platform ankle boots that had crosses and pentacles on them. I hadn't worn them much when I dated Mark because they made me taller then him , even though they only added like four inches to my height. Mark hated me being taller then him so I just rarely wore them. Amb

I rolled over and looked at my alarm clock. It was two in the afternoon already. My head was killing me and I felt like my bladder was about to explode if I didn't pee soon. I slowly sat up and pulled the covers off. I was still fully clothed. The memories of last night started to rush through my head as I headed towards the bathroom squeezing my pelvic muscles and praying I could hold it just long enough. It had definitely been an eventful night and not one I had expected that was for sure. I thought of Aiden. His smile, his scent, his eyes. No. I need to stop thinking of a man who could very easily end up being my professor. I didn't want to be one of those girls. The look of jealousy on Marks face confused me though. He had moved on with a girl he had been cheating on me with. Was it so wrong for me to want to move on too? Was he jealous? I looked in the bathroom mirror and almost laughed at how terrible I looked. My makeup

I glared at the clock in class. My math class never got out on time and my professor practically bored us to tears. The next classes professor cleared his throat in the door way. Finally! My professor looked up at the clock and apologized and dismissed us. I packed up my stuff and sent Teighlor a look of relief. Her face said the same thing. Neither of us were doing terrible in this class, since we had both taken it in highschool but it was still a requirement for us to take it. "So how was your morning class?" She was referring to the one that Mark was also taking. "Surprisingly well. How about you?" She shrugged. "Same as usual. You got in late last night how was your little impromptu date with Aiden?" I blushed. "It went well. We watched some god awful horror movie. We talked through most of it." She smiled at me. "Good I'm glad, you deserve

I was awake but I didn't want to open my eyes yet. I felt so comfortable and warm. I rubbed my face into the pillow. Wait this was too hard to be a pillow. That's when I smelt his scent and realized where I was. Shit. I opened my eyes and sat up straight. My back and neck were a little stiff but I was used to that happening. I looked over at Aiden. He was awake and looking at me. "Are you alright?" He asked sitting up. I nodded. I glanced down at my watch it was one in the morning. Crap. "I'm sorry about falling asleep on you like that." I said feeling embarrassed and looking at the floor. "Don't worry about it. It's late though. You can either stay here and I'll let you sleep in my bed and I'll take the couch, or I can walk you back to your dorm." As much as I wanted to stay here because I felt safe I decided that was definitely not a good idea. I shouldn't of even been here in the first place. We've only

The week flew by and before I knew it Saturday was already here. It hadn't been a terrible week and for the most part Mark ignored my existence. It was actually nice for once. Maybe Aiden had scared some sense into him. I silently prayed that was the case. However I sincerly doubted that. He was probably just ignoring my existence thinking it would hurt me. It didn't bother me though. Tammy had come over a few times now and the first day she came over she showed off her ring and gushed about Ambers proposal. Amber blushed but it was sweet. Of course Teighlor immediately started planning their engagement photo shoot as soon as possible. Amber wanted no part in that conversation so left all the planning to Tammy. They really were perfect for each other. Aiden and I texted each other constantly and he would call me every morning to tell me good morning and to have a great day. Sometimes we'd talk about what I had dreamt the night b

We sat down at a table at some Mexican restaurant I had never even heard of. It was in walking distance of campus though so I had no issue trying something new. Aiden insisted on ordering for me and I nodded. We had already talked about favorite foods. I hadn't noticed it before until now though. No one here spoke English other than us. Aiden ordered our food in flawless Spanish and I was honestly impressed. I wondered how many languages he spoke. "Other than English? I speak German, French, Spanish, Latin, Italian, Russian, Mandarin and Japanese." He said smiling at me. His eyes had returned to the golden brown color that had captivated me to begin with. "Could you stop doing that?" I said pointing to my head. He laughed. "I can only catch some thoughts not all of them, your mental wall is too strong for that. I can teach you to strengthen it even more though if you'd like." I nodded.

Time flew by in the blink of an eye. Before I knew it, or even had time to comprehend I stood twisting from side to side in a gorgeous maroon dress that hid my ever growing baby bump. My father and hopefully soon to be adopted mother were getting married today and i was ecstatic to say the least. The adoption papers I had printed earlier sat on the bed waiting for me to neatly fold into an envelope. The actual wedding gift Aiden and I had picked out was sitting in a similar envelope, one that Aiden would hide until we gave it to them. The adoption papers and the ultrasound photo of the twins from a few weeks ago would be neatly tucked into the envelope soon. This wasn't the first set of photos they owuld be recieving. The first ones I had handed out to everyone at Aiden's parents Halloween costume ball. Everyone, friends and family alike, had been so happy to see them. At that point we oficially announced twins.

When we got to his parents house I instantly sought out Sylvia. We had two hours to kill before Aidens parents came back from wherever they had gone this morning. Most of the party was already set up by the time we arrived so I didn't feel guilty wanting to steal Sylvia for a few moments. "Letty you look worried." She said when I finally found her. I nodded. "Can we talk privately?" I asked in a hushed tone. She nodded and led me into a random room and shut the door. "What's wrong?" She asked turning to look at me. Even when worried she looked so beautiful. She wore a gold dress that matched her eyes but looked so beautiful against her milk chocolate skin. Her hair was hanging down to her waist in multiple thin braids with strands of gold in them. She was breathtaking. She smiled at me and shook her head. Don't continue that thought dear. You're beautiful too. You may not think it because of your size but I

The weeks dragged on. Every time I closed my eyes all I could hear was the sound of the crash. I had barely slept and Aiden practically had to force me to eat. I knew this wasn't healthy for me or our children but I just felt awful. I didn't want to believe it but the truth was Mark was gone permanently. A small piece of me was happy because that meant he could never bother me again. A part of me was sad though because I didn't think he deserved it. A small sliver of me thought death was too good for him after everything. I was a mixed sea of emotions and it drove me mad. Despite the lies, the cheating, the constant make up break up cycle, the emotional and mental manipulation and abuse, and just all the shit he had put me through I couldn't bring myself to hate him completely. I had chosen to go to his funeral, only to have his deranged mother screaming at me and insisting it was somehow my fault. She kept saying that she had told him not

Finals week came and went in the blink of an eye. I sat on my laptop refreshing the page every so often to see if my final grades had been posted yet. It had already been a week since my last one so they should be posted today. Or at least I hoped. Aiden decided to take me to a club he knew of in the mixed community city as a mini graduation party tonight. He told me mostly reapers came to the club so it had more of a goth vibe to it which he knew I would like. He did assure me plenty of humans came too though. Of course my friends were more than eager to come with and Aiden even agreed to letting Vanessa come. He wasn't too thrilled about it and said she would not be riding in the back seat of his truck. Amber and Tammy happily agreed to take her. Sylvia had asked to come too and Aiden agreed simply because he felt safer having another pair of eyes on me at all times. He had become over protective to say the least since the pregnancy announcement. It was cu

When I woke up I was curled up with Aiden in our bed. Glancing at his bedside alarm clock it was eight in the morning. Wow I had really slept a long time. I snuggled into him closer. He felt so warm and I didn't want to let that warmth go. I breathed in his scent and smiled to myself. I never felt so comfortable. I opened my eyes again and looked up at his face studying how he looked as he slept. He looked so peaceful. I felt the urge to pee all of a sudden and groaned. I gently pulled back the covers and quietly crept to the bathroom trying to not wake Aiden. I flushed the toilet when I finished peeing, flinching at how loud it was. Creeping back into the room I silently cursed as I saw Aiden awake and sitting up in the bed. His golden eyes lit up as he smiled at me. I would never get tired of that. He patted my side of the bed and I climbed back under the covers and curled up tightly with him. He rested his head on mine and I felt so at ease.&

Two weeks flew by. My classes were all mostly just refreshers for our finals next week. I wasn't worried about it, mostly because I knew I would pass no problem. Mark had made a few attempts to try and talk to me but thankfully either Aiden or one of my other friends, mostly Vanessa, were always around. When he tried to talk to me in class a few of my classmates would sit in the seats around me so that he couldn't. Even though I had never said two words to them I was still thankful. Perhaps they did it because of the faces I would make every time he tried to approach me. The thought of me being pregnant had been pushed to the back of my mind for the most part. Vanessa never mentioned it like she promised she would. A part of me still believed it wasn't true. Unfortunately though when the full moon came on Thursday there was no period, no cramping, no bloating, nothing. I wasn't overly worried though because I knew I was slightly stressed and s

When I woke up Aiden was nowhere to be found. I silently cursed myself for getting so upset last night. I had never told anyone as much as I had Aiden. He just made me feel so relaxed. I sat up and stretched, my stomach growled causing me to laugh at myself a little. I looked at the clock, one in the evening. I had slept so much later then I had planned. I snuggled back underneath the covers and rolled over onto Aidens side of the bed. It still smelled like him. Where was he I needed to tell him I was sorry for last night. I laid there for a while not wanting to get out of bed but not tired enough to fall back asleep. Even though I felt hungry I didn't want to get up and eat. I literally just wanted to disappear right now. I felt like I had let Aiden down somehow. Aiden where were you? I thought closing my eyes tightly to not cry. "I'm right here little one. Why are you still in bed?" I looked over at him. "

Aiden and I sat cuddling on the couch after everything was unpacked and put away. My head was still reeling with questions after Elias' visit and still trying to figure out how to bring up him and Vanessa possibly sitting down and talking. I wasn't sure what to do so I just sat quietly watching a movie in his arms. This was definitely one of those moments I wished I could see the future with different scenarios so I knew best how to approach everything. Aiden didn't even seem to notice my unusual silence and I was great full for it because I didn't know what I would say if he asked what was on my mind. I had tried my hardest to keep a strong mental wall up because I didn't want him reading my mind either. Mostly because I knew it was a jumbled mess right now and I wouldn't know how to respond if he read one of my thoughts. Why did I always get so anxious about talking to him? Oh right Mark. I really needed to work on getting ove
