I FORGIVE YOU " Hi," I said to him as soon as he sat down opposite me. I had called him earlier today that we needed to speak, I knew he was confused and I also knew his wife wouldn't want him to be here, so whatever I wanted to say needed to be fast." I'm glad you asked to see me," he said with a smile and I managed a smile of my own." There is something I would like to clear up, especially about our relationship," I said as the words I'd practiced over and over in my head became so hard for me to speak, I wanted our meeting to be in public so I don't become too dramatic, I couldn't cry in public." That's why I'm here, I'll listen to whatever you have to say," He said with what looked like hope shining in his eyes." I want to let you know that at one time in my life, you were the best father, everything was perfect, I had dreamt of my father walking me down the aisle, I've had hope for our family, I painted the perfect picture, you know, I used to make drawings of us as a perfec
THE SURPRISE TRIP " Ma'am, it's getting really late, I think it's time we return home," I heard the voice of the driver behind me, I was so totally lost in my thoughts that I forgot about the time." I'm sorry, I lost track of time," I said as I rose from where I sat on the floor with the assistance of the driver.We walked back to the car and drove home.Markus was waiting just in front of the house and from the look on his face he didn't look pleased." I've been waiting for you, why would you come home this late?" He said calmly, trying not to raise his voice at me." And you, why would you let her stay out late? What the hell do I pay you for?" He didn't hold back for the driver, his anger showed in his voice." I'm sorry Sir, I just didn't want to bother her, she went to visit her mom's grave," He said, sounding so sorry when he didn't do anything wrong." Calm down Markus, it's my fault we're coming back by this time, don't take it out on him, you can go, Philip," I said to the
THE PREGNANCY CAMP" Oh my god Markus this is so lovely, thank you," I said with so much joy as I turned to Markus. He said we were going on a trip and when I asked where he told me it was a surprise, what I didn't expect was for Markus to register us for an expecting parent camp, he left all his work and gave me his time, what more could I ask for." I'm glad you like it," He said as he dropped the bags he was carrying and made his way to me." I want you to forget about everything that has caused us pain or stress, just think about the two of us, and of course the baby," He said with a chuckle." We have a camp instructor and we are going to have fun, but first let's rest we've had a long flight," Markus went into the bathroom to get the bath ready while I just settled on the bed watching cartoons." The fact that you enjoy watching cartoons makes me smile, our child isn't going to be bored, come on let's go give you a relaxing bath soak," He said as he walked to me and then he car
MARK AND MARKUSShe hasn't stopped talking since we started our walk. I know we were supposed to interact but she was just talking too much. What was her name again? Gina." So tell me is it fun having a pregnant wife?" She finally asked me something related to why I was even here with her in the first place." First thing I would like you to know is that my wife isn't the type to bother me, as much as I hate to admit it, she's an independent woman, she handles her pregnancy quite well, better than the way some women treat their husbands in the name of being pregnant," " You keep saying your wife, but you don't have a wedding ring," If she was looking for an answer from me she was wasting her time. Knowing that I wasn't giving her any answer she asked me another annoying question.…" So are you saying you weren't taking care of her and she had to do it herself?" Was this woman trying to offend me? I had just spent some minutes with her and she was already pissing me off. I wonder how
DIAPER CHANGING RACE I felt like a deer caught in the headlights. I still had the phone held to my ear as I looked at Markus not knowing if he was going to be offended or not." I, I'm…" I stammered not knowing what to say." I'm sorry, it just kept ringing," I said as I brought the phone down and kept it on the bed." Who was it?" Markus asked as he walked towards me." Fiona," I whispered." Fuck," I heard Markus mutter." What the fuck is wrong with this woman, can't she get the fucking hint that I don't want anything to do with her?" Markus asked in anger, I felt like half of his anger was directed toward me." I'm sorry, I didn't mean to pick up the call," I apologize with my eyes cast down." There's no need to apologize, I have nothing to hide from you. Did she say anything to annoy you?" He asked me as he sat beside me on the bed and his hands covered my face affectionately." I'm sorry you have to be dragged into this, I'll see to it that this number is changed, she won't be
THE GAME " You can do it, Markus, you're almost there," I shouted as I encouraged Markus who looked like wearing a baby diaper was equivalent to being in front of a battlefield. He has worn the diaper on the doll like five times and each time he was unsuccessful." How do people even do all these?" He groaned as he removed the diaper for the sixth time.Looking at all the men, Mark was the only one who got a hang of what he was doing so fast, the remaining men, well I didn't know if I could call that wearing a baby diaper or wrapping trash. It was a funny sight." You're running out of time guys," The instructor said as she looked at her wristwatch. I would have helped Markus but one of the rules was for us to sit and watch, and that was exactly what I did." This is ridiculous, how am I supposed to do this?" He sighed, dropping the doll and diaper." You seem to find enjoyment in watching me suffer," " How do you mean my dear? It's just a baby diaper," Markus finally focused on w
THE BABY IS COMING We just had a repeat of what the men did and to my surprise, some women didn't know how to change a baby diaper. The men used the opportunity to payback to the women for laughing at them, it was so much fun.When we were done with repeating what the men did the instructor came to give a final decision of who won." So guys, who do you think won? She asked as she looked between the men and women." Is it team dads or team moms?" She asked and the men shouted team dads while the women shouted team moms." Okay I'm gonna have to give this to the dads," She announced and the men shouted in victory, I'm sure she did that not to make them feel bad because seriously I didn't see what they did.The rest of the camp was fun with so many activities, we went to the beach, visited the mall and oh did I tell you that all this was in Paris. We learned a lot of things about parenting and I was grateful to Markus for bringing me here. I was too busy having fun to think of anyone
THE PAIN " It hurts, it hurts so much," Jane moaned in pain as I carried her as fast as I could down the stairs." Hold on, hold on I got you," I opened the car door and slowly put Jane inside the car. " Hurry! drive us to the hospital, quick!" I said to the driver as I got into the car staying behind with Jane. I needed to be beside her for this.The driver started the car and drove us out of the mansion heading for the hospital.As soon as we got to the hospital a stretcher was brought by the hospital team as they carried Jane and placed her on it then they took her into the labor ward with me following closely beside her.Jane was in pain and it wasn't the type I could share in. I could only watch her moan and groan in pain but could do nothing about it.Jane was put on the hospital bed and I tried my best not to show my worry, if I couldn't take away her pain I could at least show her that I was strong, she had my support.The atmosphere was thick with anticipation only that wha
