2020-11-20 02:37:18They were all up early the next morning, Gabriel spent an hour on the phone to Tony asking where this journalist was, no one had contacted them at all, and if they didn't turn up soon, they were off out. He left him making phone calls to find out what was going on. They didn't have long to wait. A text said the journalist would be with them within the hour.
"Do you want me to disappear?" She asked Nick
Nick shook his head, "No love, if she asks then you're my girlfriend, don't offer information though."
"Okay." She pulled the dishwasher door open and loaded the breakfast things.
Gabriel came into the kitchen with glasses from the drinks they'd had after Millie had gone to bed. They had discussed various strategies if Andrea mentioned Alicia. Still, in the end, they decided that if Andrea mentioned Alicia, they would say that it was a long time ago, and Gabriel hoped she was well.
Millie leaned against the worktop "Did you sleep?"

The silence went on for an eternity.Millie noticed only two things in those moments, the smirk of self-satisfaction on Andrea's face. The other thing she noticed was the fury on Nick's face. Glancing at Gabriel, she could see the blood had drained from his face.Andrea had shown no compassion for the little girl who was holding her hand and clinging to Millie's leg. It was a good job, Millie thought, that the desk was between Nick and Andrea, or he might just have been more than vocal in his anger. Nick stood up, he glanced at Gabriel and walked over to Andrea.He shook his head as he walked over to Andrea, the fury he was feeling combined with his arrogant demeanour was frightening to watch, even Andrea moved back a step. Millie knew Nick was about to lose it, and she picked the little girl up and carried her out of the room. She could still hear Nick as she went down the hallway."So, you thought this was the very best way to do

"Katie, have you been to school?" Asked MillieKatie shook her head.Well, she understands what school is at least, thought Millie, "would you like to go to school so that you can play with the other children?"Katie shrugged again but nodded as well."You're not sure?She nodded.Millie was pouring her a drink of milk when the door opened, and Nick came in."Sweetheart, I'm sorry," he put his arms around her, "he just needed...something."Despite being cross with them, Millie couldn't help but put her arms around him, "Is he okay?"Nick pulled a face, "He's in shock, he's just discovered that's he's a father, he never knew anything about her," he nodded at the child, "Is she okay?"Millie pulled a face, "Well, you know all about that, but at least you got some idea about Jess before she turned up. This little one has been through a lot. Why is she here?"Nick looked over Millie's shoulder at the child who

Gabriel and Millie, asleep at last. Nick went to fetch the letter that was scattered on the floor in the study. He picked up most of the glass that he could see, gathered the contents of the folder together and went to put the coffee on. It was still dark, though if he looked out of the window, he could see in the distance the sky getting lighter.They had helped Gabriel back to bed, and they lay with him hugging and trying to comfort him, he rested his head on Millie's shoulder, and she stroked his hair, her lips on his temple. He was panic-stricken and seemed to be out of control from fear, a

Millie stroked Gabriel's back soothing and comforting him. He rested his head against her shoulder his arm around her, holding her as close as he could. She stayed as still as she could hoping he would fall asleep.What was in that letter? What had made Gabriel lose it, it was alright him saying that she couldn't read it, she was going to read it whether he said so or not. That little girl needed the best of everything, her mother was gone now, and even Andrea was awful to her, spiteful even. Who could do that to someone so sweet? At least she had her mother and sisters, no matter how awkward everything had been, at least they had looked after her when she was a child. Well, they sometimes looked after her.Gabriel was going to be a fantastic dad. He had hardly taken his eyes off Katie all day, but then neither had Nick, they had held her hand, carried her, teased her made her smile. They were going to be wonderful parents. Millie let out a sigh, where did that leave h

"Hey Katie, would you like to talk? I know your daddy would love to hear you say hello, we all would."Katie nodded.Nick watched her, wondering if she would do what he was going to suggest. He waited until they had finished their breakfast, and then he reached out and pulled her up onto his knee, he put his mouth close to her ear."If we whisper, that bad man won't know. You can whisper in our ears, and you can tell daddy that you love him, we can tell you that we love you, think you can do that?"Katie pulled herself up to kneel on Nick's knee, she wrapped her arms around his neck, and she kissed his cheek, and in his ear a tiny, barely their voice."Hello."Nick hugged her and whispered back to her, "Hello, Katie."Nick felt overwhelming relief that she had at last spoken, ok, so it was a whisper she must have been so desperate to say something. Now it would be easier for her, now the dam had been broken, and the tiny trickle of wo

"Be careful, Amelia. I'll have you standing in the corner of the bedroom, holding your skirt up around your waist, showing off your very pink bottom. If it weren't for Katie being around, you'd be standing in the sitting room. Gabriel would love it, I'm sure, but maybe he won't be impressed when Giuseppe comes by."Millie gasped and pulled away from Nick's fingers, but he grabbed her wrist and held her to him. His other hand up her short skirt stroking up her thigh encountered fresh damp stickiness on her skin."This turns you on, doesn't it? You like me telling you what to do." He looked up to her face, but she had her eyes closed. "Open Millie."Without thinking about what he meant, Millie opened her legs a bit more. She wanted to feel him there again, she needed that orgasm, and soon.Nick chuckled and gave her bottom a slight slap, "I meant your eyes Millie, open your eyes."She flinched from the slap and blushed scarlet. She didn't dare look a

Millie sat with Katie for an hour; she didn't want to leave and have the little girl wake up to find she was alone. She looked out of the window so she could keep an eye on what was happening on the patio. Nick and Gabe looked very relaxed right now. They had what she called their working faces on, laughing at the questions, making silly comments and almost flirting with the stupid girls. They never really showed their true selves to anyone except her and each other. Millie realized that she was in a privileged position knowing this.She watched as Gabriel ran his hands through his hair, pulling it back. He was like a girl with his hair, always messing about with it. Millie smiled. She knew him well enough now to know that when he did this, he was nervous or anxious. It was evident that he couldn't wait to get away from these girls. He's seemed to be looking straight at her, Millie lifted the voiles so that he would be able to see her, and blew him a kiss. He grinned ba

Having been outside all afternoon playing in the pool with Katie, MIllie gave sat with her while she ate her tea, Gabriel had bathed Katie, and she had sat on Nick's knee in her nightie as he read her a story while Gabriel helped Millie with their dinner.The sun had caught Millie's cheeks, making them pink, and as Nick looked at her over the dinner table, he thought she looked beautiful, happy, and contented. She was giggling at something silly, Gabriel was teasing her, and they had their heads together laughing. Gabriel kissed her cheek.As Millie ate another forkful she looked up, Nick was watching her, and he did look a bit serious she thought, but Millie couldn't help smiling at him he looked so gorgeous no matter what his expression."Are you alright?" Millie asked with her fork halfway to her mouth.Nick looked at her with his half-closed eyes, his lips half curving up into his sexy smile. Lifting his finger, he beckoned her to come across to him.

Christmas Eve"You disgusting little horror, I've never known anyone smell like you, Not even your handsome big brother." Nick held Aria Henderson-Swan at arm's length and took the stairs two at a time. "You gorgeous beautiful stinkpot, what are we going to do with you?""Shh, I've just got Arlo to sleep," Gabriel whispered, he sat in one of the two rocking chairs with his tiny son over his shoulder gently patting his back. "You'd better be quick, one of her legs has turned a strange mustard colour."Bloody hell what has your mother been feeding you?"Same as she has been feeding this one, Google says breastfed babies have mustard pooh.""Great."

HEAVEN & HELL The Bride is Walking.
"What do you think?" Millie twisted around to look over the back of the wedding dress in the full-length mirror. The twins shook their heads, "Looks great at the front, you can hardly see the bump, but the back is a mess, far too many frills. I'll go and have a look, see what I can find. Pearl and Ruby wandered off. "What do you think, Mum? Rene shook her head, "No the girls are right, it's too much,""It looks as if you have a crumpled bed sheet attached to your bum," Lucy said. "Lucy!" said Claire, try not to upset the bride.""We are not having our gorgeous step-mum, looking like a complete clown, she can hardly see her feet, nevermind her bum. She needs us to tell the truth."Millie went back to the changing room and waited for the next dress, Pearl and Ruby came barging in."Try this Millie, I know its not the right colour, but the style is perfect."Millie wasn't going to argue, right now she was so fed up with trying frocks on, she w
HEAVEN & HELL A Night of Announcements
Millie lay on the bed, as the ultrasound technician covered her tummy with gloop. The room was in semi-darkness, and Nick and Gabriel stood at the bed's side, Nick holding her hand and Gabriel's hand lay on her thigh."Just let me do my measurements, and then I'll show you the baby," Said the sonographer wielding the ultrasound wand over Millie's lower tummy.It only took a few minutes to get her measurements."Well, this is interesting," she said, "Which one of you is the father?" the sonographer asked."We don't know yet," Millie said, "and we don't mind all our family will love the baby.""I apologise, I thought you were a surrogate for these two gentlemen."Millie laughed, "No, we're just a very unusual family, and there is plenty of love for our children.""Do any of you have twins in the family?" The men shook their heads, "I have twin sisters" Millie said."Well, you're having twins, let me

It was so wonderful to be home, and Millie revelled in Nick and Gabriel taking care of her. Nick could hardly bear to let her out of his sight. He followed her around like a lost puppy, especially on that first evening.Claire brought Katie home after work. Katie glanced into the sitting room and realised Millie was there, "Mama"! she yelled running into the room and throwing herself onto Millie's lap.Millie breathed a sigh of contentment, how could she have abandoned this sweet little girl because of her hurt feelings. How ridiculous she was.Katie held tight to Millie's neck, "I'm sorry for leaving you, Katie," she whispered in her ear, "I'll never leave you again."Millie put Katie to bed after dinner, and they all sat and talked about the things they had been doing."So How are you doing Millie?" asked Claire.Millie glanced up at Nick and Gabriel. They were smiling at her like Cheshire cats.&

HEAVEN & HELL Hot water? You Bet!
"Tell me what Angus said again?" Nick could hardly believe what Gabriel had told him, that he was suffering morning sickness, it was unbelievable, he'd never heard of this before, he didn't have this when Jess's mum was pregnant."He doesn't think there is anything wrong with you, he said to look up Couvade Syndrome, you read it yourself, Nick." Gabriel was holding on to his patience,
HEAVEN & HELL Tea-Shops and Antiques.
Three Weeks Later.Millie lay in her bed. She had left the curtains open, and from her position, she could see the trees across the river. The birds were tweeting and doing aerobatics among the branches, and the sun was shining. For the first time in weeks, everything was peaceful. Millie sighed, a feeling of contentment rose within her, and all she needed now was... No! She could not think of them. The lump in her throat stopped her breath, and her eyes stung with unshed tears. Jumping out of bed, she marched to the bathroom, determined that she would carry on with her new life. She leaned over the bath and turned the shower on, no massive shower with a million jet streams here. She would be lucky if the hot water lasted until she had washed her hair. The agent had promised they would repair the thermostat as soon as, but she hadn't heard from him for two weeks. God another Monday morning on the phone to him, She had never had any trouble in London with repairs t
HEAVEN & HELL Searching
The cottage was idyllic, it was a fairytale cottage, with a drystone wall at the front and garden full of flowers. If the inside were as pretty as the garden, Millie would take it. The Derbyshire hills surrounding the picturesque village were beautiful to look at, and just across the road, the river Derwent rolled peacefully along.The peace that Millie felt was incredible, and no one would bother her here. All she could hear was singing of the birds. The cottage was on a back road in the village, the only people who would come down this road were the people who lived in the other four ho
HEAVEN & HELL Shameful.
Gabriel watched the girls cook tea. He enjoyed being with them. They were funny, and they both explained many things to him about his life."Gabe, would you like to go and tell Nick dinner's ready please?""Do you know where he'll be?" he said, standing and stretching."Up two flights of stairs, first door on the left. That's your bedroom. He's probably sulking."Gabriel sighed, "Does he often do this, sulk, I mean?"Lucy rolled her eyes, "What you have to remember Gabe, is that although my brother is the outwardly dominant member of this family, you are usually in charge. Nothing happens in this household without you saying so and giving it your approval."Gabriel's navy blue eyes opened wide, "Are you sure?"Both the girls nodded their heads. "He just talks and shouts a lot," Lucy said. "But you are the one we all go to, and especially Nick. If you didn't realise it, Nick has said something to Millie, not meaning to hurt
