I was hoping anyone but Liv would open the door but it was her. She stood in front of me and took my breath away like she always has.
"Daddy, who's that" my daughter, McKayla, pulled at my hand.I was speechless. I don't know what was wrong with me but I couldn't seem to form any words."I'm Liv. Are you McKayla?" Liv bends down to my daughter's height.Mckayla giggles. "Yes. You are vewy pwetty.""Awe, thank you. You are very pretty yourself. Would you like to come inside my home?""Yes, pwease." McKayla says as Liv gets back up and moves to the side to let us in."I think Nick and Becca are in the living room. Just keep going straight down this hallway, you'll run into it." Liv smiled.Her smile took my breath away. I was stupid to let her go last time. There is no getting that back now.I stop and turn back around towards her, "By the way, I'm sorry about that drunken phone call."She sI could feel JP's eyes on me. Every time I moved, I knew that his eyes were following me. I tried doing everything that I could to stay away from him. When I did look at him, all of the memories we shared would fill my mind. I love Will. I don't have feelings for JP. At least I don't think I felt anything like that towards him. I think the pull I feel for him is all linked to him being the one that took my virginity. I still regret that moment to this day."Liv, come pway" McKayla was pulling on my hand."Let me go say hello to some of my friends and I will come back and play, ok?" I told her.McKayla frowned. "I go with you.""Come on, McKayla. Let Liv go see her friends for a little bit." JP grabbed his daughter's hand.Mckayla pulled away from him, "Pweeeeaaaasssseeee!" she grabbed my hand again.JP looked over at me and I nodded. "Ok, you can come with me. I'll let you meet my friends.""Yayyy!" She
After getting ourselves cleaned up and fully dressed we head back downstairs. As we enter the hallway we realize the house is quiet."Where is everyone?" I look at Will who shrugs."We had everyone go outside. You two were not holding back." Becca comes up behind up laughing. Nick following behind her.I could feel my face getting hot from embarrassment. "I told you, we were being a little too loud.""Come on, let's go outside with all of our guests. It'll be ok." Will laces his hand with mine and pulls me behind me.As we are passing the kitchen, I catch JP and McKayla from the corner of my eye."I'll be out in a few minutes. I need to go check on McKayla. I promised I'd play with her.""Ok. See you out there." Will releases my hand.Becca gives me a look that I can't quite read before she and Nick follow behind will."You know, it's not nice to peep in on people when they are having sex." I w
"I am so glad we have the entire weekend to ourselves." I grab Will's hand as we are leaving the hospital after our shift. We have worked the last 15 days and finally have two days off again."Me too" Will smiles but it doesn't quite reach his eyes.I pull him to a stop. "Ok, what's wrong?"He shrugs and pulls his hand away from me. He then continues to walk towards the truck.I don't move from my spot. I stand there watching him walk away from me. When he reaches the truck, that's when he looks back at me to realize that I'm not with him."Olivia, please, let's just go home." He shouts across the parking lot to me."No, not until you tell me what's wrong." I stand my ground. Will has never acted like this, that's how I know something is, for certain, wrong with him."Damn it, Olivia, I just want to go home. If you don't bring your ass on, right now, I will leave you standing right here in the parking lo
As I sit here looking at this little positive sign in front of my face, I feel like I'm going to puke.I'm pregnant.I am fucking pregnant. I thought I would be more excited, but hell maybe I would have been if it wasn't for the fact that Will hadn't dumped me 4 months ago.After he dumped me, Becca came into town and helped me go pack up all of my things and moved me back to Columbia with her and Nick. I got transferred to a different hospital so that I would still be working. The only good thing that came out of me transferring was that I was put on the morning shift. I had to be at work at 5 but I was off by 2:30 sometimes 3.A knock at the bathroom door startles me."Liv, are you ok in there? You have been in there for a while." Becca says from the other side.I leave the stick laying on the bathroom counter and open the door for her to come in."What's going...." she stops talking as she looks at th
The next day, JP is back at the house to pick me up at 9. That way we are back in our hometown by 12 at the latest. He had to pick up McKayla at 4. We figured that would give me plenty of time to talk to my parents and Will."Do you want to go to your parent's or Will's first?" JP looks over at me as we began to enter our hometown.I thought about going to Will's last, but the more I thought about it I figured I might as well go to him first and get it over with. Hopefully, he was home and awake."Let's go ahead and go to Will's house." I sigh. I began to feel the nerves working throughout my body once again. JP notices. He reaches over, grabbing my hand, and gives it a squeeze."No matter what happens, it will be ok. I promise everything will be just fine.""This isn't how I planned all of this. I mean I didn't even have sex for the first time until.. well you know what I mean. I thought I would be married and st
"What is wrong now?" Becca asks as I enter her living room and take a seat."Well first off, look at me!" I point at my belly. "And I am horny as hell. I just want to have sex" I frown.Becca begins laughing. I mean hard laughing to the point where she has tears."You suck." I lay back, resting my hands on my belly."Why don't you just ask JP to have sex with you. He has been following behind you since you made the announcement that you're pregnant. He would do anything for you."Speak of the devil, JP walks in with Nick."Oh, she's tried. I told her no. If we have sex again it's going to be because she really wants to, not because her hormones are going crazy. But other than that, I'll do anything as Becca said." JP sits down beside me."You suck too." I stick my tongue out at him as he laughs."So, since we are all here. I have an announcement to make." Becca smiles as she looks over at Nick then
On October 2nd at 3:23 P.M Alyssa Grace Jackson made her appearance. She weighed 6 pounds 5 ounces, had dark hair with a hint of red mixed in, and green eyes. She was the definition of perfect. I was currently sitting in my hospital bed watching Alyssa as she was asleep in my arms. I made JP go home about 30 minutes ago. He has been by my side since I was admitted into the hospital two days ago. Mckayla is with Maggie for the next week, due to her and her new boyfriend wanting to take her to the mountains with them. I was shocked when JP agreed to let her go. I think he did it more for me than anything else, but McKayla did need to spend some more time with her mom. My parents have yet to make it as they thought I still had a few more days before Alyssa made her appearance. She tricked everyone.*Knock*Knock*I look up as th
"In less than 4 hours you will be married!" I smiled at my best friend as I was currently feeding Alyssa."And tonight will be the night that you and JP finally get it on again." She smiles back at me."I don't think so. Nick didn't tell you about this girl he has been seeing? " I frowned."What?! No, he didn't tell me. Who is she?""Some chick that he met while they were out working. She just loves linemen. But, yeah they seem to be hitting it off. He's been going out with her for over a month now. I think that may be his date for tonight.""Aw, Liv. I'm sorry." I see her begin to tear up."No, no. None of that. I couldn't expect h
It has been almost 9 months since JP and I announced to our best friends and my parents that we were married along with me announcing that I am pregnant. Surprisingly, they were super excited that I'm pregnant. JP was the happiest of all. We were both hoping for a little boy and guess what? I am having a boy.You are probably wondering how Will and Maggie felt about all of this. Let's just say we were both in court fighting for custody of our children. Of course, JP and I won all the way around. They had nothing on either one of us. Which there was nothing to have on us, to begin with. We are both fit parens plus we are married. Therefore we have the girls the majority of the time but we still let them go stay with their other parent. We are not the type of parents to keep them away from their mom/dad."Mommy! It's time to get up. Me, J
"Good morning, Mrs. Price." I open my eyes to see JP lingering over me.I smile at him, "Good morning, Mr. Price."Flashback to the beach" I don't want to push you. I know what you said about us. I know you said no labels. But Liv, I don't want anyone else but you. We hand out. We go out. We have amazing sex." He stops and turns me so that I am looking at him. "We do everything that a couple does. Hell, we even have two children who are like sisters to each other. McKayla loves you. Alyssa loves me. Why can't we just make this official? I'm not asking you to become dependent on me. I know you can handle yourself. I know that better than anyone else. I love you, let's get married."
"When are you just going to give in and be with him?" Becca asks as we are sitting on the beach watching the guys and kids play in the water."I am with him. What do you mean?""Come on, Liv, you know what I mean. It's been a year and you still haven't given in to him.""I told all of you, I will do this on my own terms. Right now, I am enjoying what we have. I don't want to put labels on ... who is that girl?" I sit up looking out at this chick who currently had her hand on JP's arm.Becca sits up to look. She then smirks at me. "I don't know, but it shouldn't matter. Right?"I could feel the jealousy hitting hard as I sit back and try to act like it isn't bothering me.
It has been nearly 2 months since that night at the club. Ever since that night, JP has been coming to my house every weekend. Some weekends we just hang out with the kids and then other weekends, we are kid-free and you know what that means. You are probably wondering how the emotional part of this is going. That part is very complicated. Of course, we are catching feelings with all the time we spend together but I refuse to become dependent on any man again. I know at any minute JP or myself could meet someone. No, I'm not looking. Is he? That I can't tell you. I don't ask because I don't want to know.Alyssa has been staying with her dad and Kasey a good bit. She tells me all the time, "Mommy, I love you but I want to go to daddy's." What am I supposed to do? Tell her no. Tell her I want her here with me? I think she likes going over there so much because Kasey keeps her niece a lot.
I look around, trying to find the guy from earlier. At first, I didn't see him but then I found him. I frowned realizing that he and another girl were making out in a dark corner. Oh well."Hey." JP comes up."Hey" I smile at him feeling the alcohol go through me. I was already a little buzzed. So as I'm standing here looking up at him, I have all kinds of feelings running through my body. And of course, he knew it."Let's dance."I grab his hand and follow him out to the dance floor. At first, we are just swaying to the music, not touching. I needed to feel his hands on me. I step closer to him just as he grabs my hands and pulls them up and around his shoulder so they were wrapped around his neck. We sway to the music looking at eac
This past year has flown by. In a couple of months, Alyssa will be 3 years old. Will, has moved on to someone else. He asked her to marry him last month. So now he is currently engaged. Does it hurt? Of course, it does, but I have become fine with just focusing on Alyssa and myself. Alyssa goes to daycare and I work in a doctor's office now. There are times where I want to pack up our things and move far away, but that's just not possible. For one, my parent's bought me this nice house for Christmas 2 years ago. Then, Will is here. I can't take Alyssa from her dad. The two of them have this bond that I can't even explain. Alyssa asked me a few days ago if she could go stay with her dad. I know she didn't mean permanently. I mean she's only about to be 3, but just her being able to ask me that broke my heart a little.The front door opens and Alyssa comes running in, followed by Will and
It has been almost two weeks since my hospital visit. Two weeks of having only myself and Alyssa to worry about. I'm not going to lie, I miss Will like crazy. Falling in love with him for a second time has really hurt me."Olivia!" Becca and Nick come into my room.How in the hell did she even get into my house. I don't even bother sitting up or looking at her. "What?""You have got to get out of that bed and get back to life. I'm sorry for everything that has happened to you, but you are better than this." I feel the bed shift as Becca sits down."Look, I'm fine. I don't want to go anywhere or do anything. I just want to be left alone.""Too fucking bad. I have allowed you to be lik
"Olivia. Please wake up, baby. Wake up." I hear as I slowly open my eyes."Where am I?" I manage to ask."You are at the hospital, honey." My mom says.In the hospital? I think to myself. Why am I in the hospital? I don't understand. Then it hits me. JP. Will. His parents. Alyssa. My baby. I grab my stomach and try to jump up but I try too quickly which causes my head to begin pounding."Lay back, Liv. Let me go get the nurse." My mom says and heads towards the door."Mom, wait!" I plead for her to turn around.She stops with her hand on the door but doesn't turn around."Please, j
"Did the two of you not learn your lesson the first time around?" His mom folds her arms across her chest.I look at Will, who in return looks at his mom. "How about you and dad take Alyssa up to her room? This is none of your concern." Will passes Alyssa over to his dad."I can't believe this shit. Why would you even be having sex with her?!?! Or why not be careful. Why was protection not used?" His mom argues."Mom now is NOT the time. Go." Will growled."Ok, so first things first. Why are you here?" Will looks at JP. But continues before JP can respond. "Oh yeah, your fiance broke up with you so now you're coming back to try and claim Olivia. Am I right?""Will, calm down, please. I handled this. JP is leaving. He has no business here now." I grab onto Will's arm trying to calm him down. I didn't want these two guys fighting here.Will looks down at me, I can see the questions written all over his face.
