Karl Thompson...I watched as my wife went into panic mode."Why does he want to talk to me?" She asked as she stared down at the email she had just opened.I took the phone out of her hand and looked at the email.'I need to talk to you.' is all it said. I frowned as I rubbed my chin with the tip of my fingers.I glanced at Lucy and I could easily tell that she was beyond stressed. She snatched the phone out of my hand and I watched as she opened her call log and pressed on her mother's number.I have to say, Lucy's new found relationship with her mother had shocked me. It was one of the things i did not expect at all.I'd missed a lot of things while Lucy and I were separated. One of those things were her new family with her mother, the little girl Susu and Edmond.Lucy pressed the loud speaker as to let me be apart of the conversation.The phone rang for a few minutes before Cristal Chaw answered."Hello? Lucy?" Cristal called out with a confused and an obviously tired vo
I walked into my office after I told Anderson to get my sister.Dropping myself on my chair behind the large desk, I waited for June. It doesn't take June five minutes to come find me in my office.One look at my sister and I knew she looked more than exhausted, as if she hasn't slept in days.June had April's drawing book tucked under her arm and a white envolop in her left hand."Good morning." June greeted me before she took a seat from across me."Morning." I replied and waited for her to start talking. At first, June remained silent, refusing to breath a single word. I waited for her to speak for almost five minutes and when I was close to calling her out, she stood up and walked a few steps closer to the desk and placed the white envelop in front of me."What is this?" I asked without reaching out for the envelop."It's my resignation letter." June answered and I let out a huge sigh.I leaned my elbows on top of the desk and pressed my right hand fingers against my eyelids."Yo
Lucy Chaw...I sat at the back of the car with Ethan in the drivers seat.I scrolled through my phone, absently looking at the screen as I kept recalling the session I just had with Dr. Goodman.We didn't talk about anything different from the last session, although I did mention the shock of a life time when Karl and I found out that we were having twins. Dr. Goodman had congratulated me before she started analyzing me again. She had asked me questions I wasn't able to give answers to, like, why I was so freaked out when I realized that the baby was not just a baby but babies.I had tried to sum it up to hormones and move on but the look Dr. Goodman gave me made me really uncomfortable. It was as if she was telling me that most families with backgrounds like Karl and I wouldn't be upset if we have two or three kids come at us at once. So, why had I been so freaken upset.I sighed as I leaned my head back and closed my eyes.I had a pretty fun morning. Spending time w
Karl Thompson...I looked down at the package Stuart just gave me as I was walking up to the front door of our house.It's addressed to my wife but since Stuart and Ethan were both aware about the stress we're dealing with thanks to Garzei Chaw, they had decided that they didn't want to stress her out. So, they waited for me to come home to give me the package.I walked through the long hall and then up the stairs to make my way to our shared bed room. But before I could reach out room, my eyes traveled over to the rest of the bedrooms and empty rooms on our floor.I glanced at our bed room door before walking past it. I silenced my footsteps and walked over to the next room which was the same room Lucy was staying at when she first came back home. I reached out for the door knob and twisted it open Seeing this room reminded me of that horrible night. Looking side way at the door, it almost made me feel like I need to rip it out. It made me feel like I need to rip out
The entire family clapped their hands as soon as the youngest Thompson walked up to the stage and got her medical degree.The loud noice, claps and cheers caught Kaily's attention and she waved over to us with a shy smile in her face.From the moment she walked up on the stage to the moment she walked down, each of us showed our support.Lucy stood beside me, happily clapping her hands for my baby sister. It really surprised me when I saw the two walking into the sitting room together the night of Kaily's surprise party. But what shocked me more was the fact that those two have gotten closer to each other to the point that the two, including April were making plans to have a sleepover at April's old apartment.All of us sat down after Kaily was off the stage and I couldn't help but look around me.Every single Thompson was here including our grandmother Candis. Although, I was a bit surprised when she warmly greeted Lucy when we all met our front before we walked in.Lucy looked just
Lucy Chaw...I stared at my reflection with uncertainty. Placing both of my hands on my large baby bump, I looked down at my long, pale pink dress through the full length mirror. Instead of feeling happy and excited, I feel scared.I don't know why but it all felt fake. Like if I close my eyes for too long then it would all disappear and turn in to a far memory I could barely reach.The long dress Karl bought for me is beautiful and looks way too expensive. The pale pink fabric is decorated with small dusted golden glitter form the top to bottom. This morning, after Karl and I had breakfast alone because he said the cousin twins had an "Errand" to run, a group of stylists and make up artists had invaded the house and kept me locked up in our bedroom, pulling at my hair, stabbing at my face...Okay, fine. I may be over reacting.There were actually only three women that came at Karl's request. One woman to style my hair, one woman to deal with my make up and a third wo
I took a deep breath as Zeus finished his final touch and stepped back to take a look at his work."Do I look better?" I asked.Zeus chuckled before he offered me his hand and helped me up. I stepped towards the mirror and looked at my reflection. Zeus gave me a soft smile as he placed his hands on my shoulders."You look beautiful, Lucy." He commented. "I mean... I wan the one who did your make up, so it's only natural that you look your best."I playfully glared at Zeus through the mirror before a smile made its way to my lips."Thank you." I whispered. "You really are a life saver."Zeus nodded his head. He really was a life saver. In the last ten minutes, he was able to remove all the runny and ruined make up off of my face and do a soft natural look, all while trying to calm me down."Don't worry about it. I got you." He patted my shoulder before he started collecting the brushes from the sink."Still. I'm really grateful. And I'm sorry I made a scene out there."Zeus stopped col
I looked around the backyard as our friends and family sang me a happy birthday.The beautiful birthday decoration stood behind me and my birthday cake stood in front.I pressed my palms flat against each other in front of me and listened. My cheeks were already hurting from having to smile too much but I couldn't stop my lips from stretching.I looked at the faces of my friends and families, each of them having a smile in their faces and I couldn't believe the fact that they were all here for me.I leaned closer to the cake once they finished singing me a happy birthday and took a deep breath to blow out the candles. I made sure to close my eyes and make a wish before the last candle was out.I glanced at Karl, who winked at me, quite literally winked at me, forcing heat to burn my cheeks.Soon enough, the cake was cut and pieces were making their ways out to our guests. Karl took my hand and led me to a chair. I let out a groan as soon as I dropped myself in the chair because I did
Lucy Chaw... You know how the say the groom shouldn't see the bride in her wedding dress or else bad things will happen on your wedding day? Well I used to think that it was just a silly superstition. It's not. Preparing for the second wedding had taken a bit longer than we thought. It took me a few weeks to make the dress with the help of my two sister-in-laws and the over all preparation had taken a few more weeks which meant that April, June and I had to alter the dress around the waist all over again. But after much time of preparation, we are finally ready to renew our vows. Karl and I never had vows on our wedding because, it was never a marriage of Love. But now, we want to do it the right way, say what we want to say, read our vows to each other in front of our friends and families. Finally, at thirty- six month pregnant, I was finally ready to marry my husband again. But... but... After April helped me in to my dress and we were a few minutes short from walking down th
Karl Thompson..."I'm almost there. Traffic jam is not a joke today." April's frustrated voice came from the other side of the phone."Alright, take your time and drive safe." I warned before hanging up the phone."Is she here yet?" June asked, catching my attention.I looked at my younger sister sitting front across me in my office and I shook my head."She's stuck in traffic." I commented and watched as June leaned back on her seat with a sigh."I'm kind of nervous." She said after a few seconds of silence.Looking down at the document on top of my desk, I nodded my head.I understood her nerves. April had been wanting to be apart of the Thompsons Fashion since she was a little girl. Her ambition had grown even more when June started working here.I still don't know what my two sisters talked about or when and how they made up but ever since they did made up, the two have been attached to each others hips.Their sisterhood has grown so much that April invites June out for
Karl pulled me over to the room across from our girls room and opened the door.If breathtaking was the last room, then this one almost caused me to pass out."Happy birthday, wife." Karl whispered in to my ear as he stepped behind me and gently pushed me further into the room.There are shelves filled with large, different colored fabrics, a few mannequins stood here and there, a large pale pink table stood in the center of the room.The walls are graced with beautiful arts and designed wall papers. There are empty picture frames hanging on the walls."There are empty so you can feel them with anything you want." Karl commented from behind me as he let go of my hips and let me wonder further into the room.I stepped closer to the shelves holding the fabrics and I couldn't help but reach out and pinch them between my thumb and forefinger just to see if they were actually here.The fabrics felt expensive in my fingers, so beautiful and elegant.I looked across from the shelve to see a
