Anne's P.O.V
I 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
Two months laterAnne's P.O.VI know I have not been myself these past few days and I know that I have taken it out on Liam and I know that I shouldn't have and still shouldn't, but this weird feeling is making me act out these past couple of days. It all started on Monday with me not being able to handle the smell and taste of salmon. I love salmon and would literally eat it for every meal if I could.This morning I woke up feeling nauseous and my favourite clothes did not fit me like they used to.Damn no, not again. I knew what was wrong with me. I made a doctor's appointment for myself. I called Liam and told him about this but left out the part of me thinking I was pregnant and that I was going to the doctor. I didn't want to make him all excited and happy and then that wasn't the case as it could also be my cancer that is back, even though the marker tests and exams ha
Liam's P.O.VI was so worried about Anne but I knew I had to attend all the meetings I had left on the schedule for today and then right after that I could leave and go see what is wrong with my wife if she is at home yet. My last meeting ended an hour before closing time and I packed up and left to go home. As I was leaving, I told my PA that I was heading out to a meeting and that I wouldn't be back to the office this afternoon again. If Juliet finds out that there wasn't a meeting, then I'm screwed, but I don't give a damn at that moment. She will hopefully understand today's reason.Anne's P.O.VThe irony when you think you know what is wrong with you and you are starting to get excited about what you thought and then it isn't what you thought it was. My cancer is back. Since I never stopped the medication they gave me as well as the follow-up sessions and they just don
Five and a half years laterAlexia's P.O.V (Anne's Daughter) "Hi, I'm Alexia and I'm six years old."Mummy and daddy have told me that they have placed me in a school nearby. They said it would be fun with a lot of friends my age and toys to play with and a nice lady that is going to look after me and teach me some nice things and help me get smart like mummy and daddy. I don't want to go. I haven't been away from either mummy, daddy or grandma my whole life and I'm honestly scared that I won't be able to make any friends and that everyone will laugh at me because of that.Mummy and daddy said that they would be there to pick me up this afternoon afterwards and if it was really that bad they would take me to go for ice-cream. I love ice-cream, especially the green and brown flavour that has the little brown drops in it. Mummy always says it's little drops of poop, but I kno
Anne's P.O.VWith Liam going out with the guys, I had to go and get Alexia from my mums and I decided that I would have her decide where she wanted to go and eat out tonight, since I just wanted to put my feet up and forget about work for the evening. Have a little girly fun with my number one girl in my life."Mother, where are you? Mum?"She is always here somewhere in the house, especially when she has Alexia over, otherwise she would have let me know she was taking her out. Maybe she's in bed or in the gym. Yes, this house has its own gym. The bedroom is empty, the gym is empty.... splash... What was that? It sounded a lot like the pool, so she must be in the pool.When I arrived at the pool area, mom and some weird man I didn't know were kissing. Not your usual kiss, hey. I think I even had a little blush going on. Omg my mom has a boyfriend! I cleared my throat and they both froze."Hey, hone
