Elizabeth's P.O.V
She just needs to have so many friends that want to hang out with her. How am I supposed to keep her here at home so I can get to know her if she is out partying with them every chance she gets.
It’s as if she cannot say no because every single time one of them calls, there she goes ready and willing to join them in whatever they want to go and do.
"My besties invited me to go clubbing with them, so no need to make dinner for me or wait up. I might be back a little late tonight."
" Okay honey. Would you mind taking Ernie with you? He hasn't been out much the last few weeks and getting out might do him some good. Maybe he could meet a girl. "
"I actually was going to ask him along, so yeah it's absolutely fine for him to come along."
I was really happy that she didn't argue with me on this one. If Ernie goes with her, he can at least be my eyes and ears and protect his sister.

A few hours laterLiam's P.O.VEverything is going according to plan. Anne is getting drunk as we speak, and I don't need to be drunk. I can successfully act drunk. I have been in situations before where I had to act drunk just to save my ass, but let's not go there now. Here comes Ernie. Time to start actingAnd ACTION!"Anne, it's two in the morning. Come on, let's head home, please."Before she could answer, I decided to make myself known to Ernie that I was also going home with them."Come on little missy, let's get you home"I said in my most drunk voice and hoped that it sounded believable enough so that this last part of the plan can finally be done with, and we can go on holiday. I really want my wife back and I can't wait for tomorrow morning when we can finally leave here. Anne decided that she needed to maybe answer Ernie."Fine, but you’re coming or I'm not

Anne's P.O.VI heard Elizabeth following me and Liam up the stairs and I let her follow me. I had needed to speak to her and Arnold as I had intended about the cancer before, we left, as that was the whole reason for this visit and the elaborate plan that had been followed.As soon as me and Liam were in the room, she came in and asked the one question I knew she was going to ask."How did you find out who we were? The adoption was sealed, and I couldn't get any information from there to find out who you were?"I laughed."Of course, the adoption was sealed because you did it. Don't start acting all innocent now. You didn't want me finding you guys after you gave me up. I would really like to know what was so wrong with me that I was given away, but Ernie was kept?"Elizabeth looked confused. She told me that she never asked for the adoption to be marked as closed because she was planning and has been trying to

Six weeks later Kate's P.O.V (Liam's Mother)We are finally meeting Anne today. I know it's our own fault that we haven't met her, but it still doesn't count. We are busy people, and they can't expect us to always be available when they have a do or a party to which they invite us. Liam invited us in, but with a warning that Anne was very sick and still in bed. He doesn't know what is wrong yet and they will be going to the doctor later that day. They apparently didn't have a lot of sleep as she was up most of the night but she finally fell asleep about two hours ago.I think it's not sick sick it's pregnant sick. They have been married quite a while. Maybe I'm right, maybe I'm wrong, but I'll know as soon as I see her.Liam's P.O.V"Mom, dad, welcome to our house!""Thank you for having us. Now, where is your wife?"I rolled my eyes. I 'wasn't having them'. I was forced because they wanted to make nice.After the greetings, I made sure to warn them to be nice and not expect Anne to

Anne's P.O.VI walked downstairs keeping a hold on the railing so I wouldn't fall to my death. I could hear voices in the living room, so that is where I would need to go. Once I got to the bottom of the stairs, I called out to Liam to come and help me over to the couches, as there wasn't really anything to keep a hold on.He ran over and took me to the couches where his parents were sitting. His mother stood up as we got closer and helped Liam get me in a comfortable position."Do you want a glass of juice, honey?"I smiled at his mother and answered her that I was fine at the moment. Thank you.She gave me a hug and went to sit next to her husband again, while Liam sat down next to me."I'm sorry I'm not better dressed for the first time meeting you. It's just that Liam and I, we... we have just been hoping and praying that..." Liam took hold of my hand and squeezed it in support."I don'

Anne's P.O.VI was so shocked to hear what the doctor had said that I didn't know how to react. I felt Liam helping me up and out and I heard him thanking the doctor but I was still a little in shock. I'm pregnant! There is a little human growing in my tummy.I must say Liam is even more excited than I am and he doesn't look mad at all. We haven't really had the how many and when kids talk, so I wasn't one hundred percent sure that he was okay with this and all but his excitement told me that I did indeed not need to worry about him being mad or upset. In fact, it was sort of half his own fault if he would have been upset. You know it takes two to tango and he willingly joined in.Mum is just overjoyed because she is going to become a granny and, in her exact words, 'someone to help keep her young once more'. I just wish that dad could have been here to see this. I still miss him a lot but try to hide it

Liam's P.O.VIf I knew Anne would want to go and lie down I wouldn't have driven her home. I would have driven her somewhere she could have gone and lie down and rest where there wasn't a house full of women for a baby shower. After being chased out of my own home, I decided that I would just go sit somewhere in a coffee shop until I could go back to my own home. I was just barely out of the neighbourhood where the house is when mum called me saying that I should come back as Anne was in labour.As fast as I could, I turned the car around and drove as fast as I could to the house. Mum said that Anne didn't want to wait for an ambulance as they take too long and that I could take her to the hospital faster. Mum, Juliet and someone else helped us to get Anne into the backseat of the car and made sure that she was comfortable. Without waiting for the hospital bag, as Juliet would bring it and other stuff to the hospital, I sped

Juliet's P.O.VBeing the boss of the company meant I could work mostly remotely and could spend a little more time helping Anne with Alexia and getting a routine in place so that they could both get enough sleep to not be moody. The one aspect that I couldn't be doing remotely was the training of the people coming and I decided that I wouldn't want to do that at Anne's, as she was busy with the baby and I also didn't want to disturb the routine that they had in place. Therefore, we would meet in the little coffee shop that is just down the street, do the training and I can be back to Anne in a matter of minutes when she needs me.The same Elizabeth that had been here a few years ago is coming again for some training. I just needed to let Anne know that I would be getting some work done outside the house. She had insisted that I didn't need to stay with her the whole time and that I could go and work at the office, but I want

Elizabeth's P.O.VAs I was sitting in the company headquarters waiting for the nice lady who offered to take me to my hotel, I thought about the situation I was finding myself in at the moment. I know that it is 100% my own fault and that I really have no one else to blame for what is happening at the moment, but it still hurts. She hasn't answered or picked up any of the calls, voicemails or messages I have left. She does answer Ernie every now and then, but he doesn't seem to feel the need to share anything they talk about with the rest of us.Arnold had somehow decided that he wanted to hate me for 'making' him give away our baby girl. As if he wasn't the one manipulating me and now he wants to play the victim card. I told him straight up that I would not be falling for his crap and that I had proof of what he had done and that he was in fact the one manipulating me to give up my baby girl because of the views he has of women born into
