"Today I'm going to tell you the truth"
Listening to his words I looked at him with wide eyes. My heart started beating fast as his words sank in me more. I don't know why but a bit of unknown fear was pumped into my heart making me more afraid to know the truth. All this time I was waiting to hear it but now I don't but it is making me fearful. My breath ragged as my chest heavier as if a heavyweight was kept on it. I started taking slow breaths with my fingers curly on my loose dress. I closed my eyes and braced myself. I waited for him to speak but instead, he turned me around. I kept looking down at the floor.
My gaze was fixed and I didn't make any efforts to lift it and look into his eyes as I didn't know what was waiting for me. He put his finger under my chin and made me look up but still I kept my gaze low. I

So I won't let them down this time. We spent some time at my sister's grave where I was the only one who was talking to her most of the time. Jack just stood beside me like my firm support. I had so much to tell her. I have always restrained myself from coming here because I miss her so much. She has always been a large part of my life. When she was alive it was my everyday routine to tell her what happens to me throughout the day. She would always listen and then advise me to do right if I did something wrong. She always guided me in the proper direction. When she was gone I missed our long talks. I missed how she used to comfort me but now she was gone and I had nothing left with me. Sometimes I felt like I should also die but every time that thought came to my mind dad's smiling face held me back. Mom and Amelia di
God, I never thought I would see this day in my life. I tried to suppress my laughter with my hands but it slipped out. I started laughing while snorting in between. Jack was standing in the kitchen half-covered in flour and had a stressed expression on his face. He was running from one place to another in the kitchen with the same look on his face. I could see he was so busy with his chores even to notice he had an audience. He only turned to look at the door when he heard my laughter. With confused eyes, he looked at all of us. "Why are you all laughing," he asked in confusion with both hands on his hips, not knowing he was almost looking like a white monkey. The question made kids laugh even more. Not getting an answer from us he walked towards the reflecting glass door. His expression became a horse's one when he
He indeed stayed true to his words. I was sitting in the garden where kids were playing around me. They were running all around with hefty laughter in the air. It somehow made me feel calm. I was now used to their giggling and rumbling around me. I moved my eyes from their running figure and focused on the book which I have been trying to read. A big smile crests on my lips as I remembered my date event. His loving gestures have occupied my mind from the moment I opened my eyes and found a light brown one staring back at me with the same love in them. I could see he is trying to change his behaviour for me. He doesn't act like the stubborn brat he used to be. I was out of my thoughts when I saw Amelia standing in front of me while looking at me with her big blue dove eyes with both her hands behind her back. There was
"Yes I would love to" That night we celebrated and Amelia was so happy after listening to my reply. She jumped in happiness from here and there telling everyone that now she had mom and dad. His happy laughter made Jack's and my heart swell up in happiness. I always wanted her to be my daughter and now she was as I had already signed the papers. All the foundation kids were happy for her. She was the favourite of everyone here. They were a little sad knowing she would move with us but they didn't show her and celebrated with her. It has been over a month since that day. Dad, uncle, and aunty come frequently to meet Amelia with gifts for her. They are showering her with lots of love. Why won't they? After all, she is their first grandchild. A smi
"I love you too." The memory of the day makes me smile even in my dreams as from now onwards I have decided only to live with all the happy moments and forget all the bad ones. I have decided to keep moving forward, forgetting all the bitterness of my past but not forgetting the experience I got with it and it is what makes me feel powerful every day. It's what has given me the strength to live my life with all my past good and bad occurrences. These days saying I love you back makes me feel happy. It gives me the power to express my love for him which I have never done before. Those words never stop coming from his mouth and it always warms my heart when he says them to me. It makes me feel like I'm in love with him all over again. The awareness of the person I love loves me back with the same power and thriving in it make
"I hope I'm not disturbing you ladies" He flashed us his pearly white teeth smile and from the corner of my eyes, I looked at Ava who seemed pissed looking at his smiling face. "Long time no see Mrs Miller," he said while looking at me. "I was wondering how you are doing. You look very much pregnant and beautiful as always," he said in his heavy voice which had an accent mixed with his English making me wonder where exactly he was from. I blushed a little at his compliment. He always says all those cheesy words to me, making me think if he likes to flirt with everyone. From the corner of my eyes, I saw Ava sighing in frustration. It was visible on her face that she was not happy to see him there.
JACKS POV I buttoned up my tuxedo blazer and hurriedly walked out of the room to go to the adjoining room to help my very pregnant wife. Opening the door I saw she was standing in front of the bed with Amelia standing in front of her dressed in her pink frock. The mother and daughter were speaking to each other and laughing about something. Their laughter was like music to my ears. These two ladies had a special place in my heart. I walked in and my little angel's happy blue eyes fell on me. "Daddy" she squeals in happiness, throwing her hands up for me to take in and I didn't waste time and took her in my arms with a big smile as she stretched on my face. "How do I look? Did you like my frock" she asked in her excited voice. "First let me see
"Jack my water broke" Those words from her mouth were enough to scare me. The panicked look in her eyes scared me even more. I moved my head down and saw liquid pooling at her feet with a hammering heart. I met her gaze again. I just kept looking at her with a blank look on my face not knowing what to do next. It "My water broke" she repeated her words this time a little loud and with more panic flooding her tone. Listening to her words the chattering on the table stopped making everyone look at us. "We need to hurry fast to the hospital," Jane said in her eager voice, getting my attention. Listening to her I immediately stood up in alert mode while rubbing my face in nervousness. "Jack bri
