2024-10-29 19:42:56Aiden 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

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. "

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 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.&

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

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

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

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.

February 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
