“I think I know.” Everly says. We all turn around when she speaks. We had no idea that the three of them had walked into the room. I shook my head when Kylynn called Korey and asked where they were. I heard him tell her that they were on their way. I smirked when he ignored the fact that she was yelling at him. He is more than used to how these two are and knows when they are really pissed. Zack has Alyani up on the giant screen on the wall. I am positive when I say she was not what any of us expected when she popped up on TV. Alyani is a tiny little thing. She can’t be more than 5’0” with long platinum blonde hair that fades into a purple-blue colour halfway down. Ironically the hair colour matches her eyes. Just like Tianya and Kylynn, she has several facial piercings, and I can see quite a few tattoos. Sean told us that Alyani grew up with the others and that they also taught her how to fight. I can see a large man sitting beside her. Both of his arms are covered in
I am still trying to process everything we learned yesterday. I was impressed that Alayni was able to find all the information she did. Even the guys that I had asked to find information and Zach, Sean, and Doug's guys weren’t able to find out everything that Alayni had. I know I was not the only one impressed with her ability. Our women had told us that she was extremely smart, but I didn’t realize she was that smart. I was glad that she could put Everly’s mind at ease by letting her know that we were not related.“Did you have any idea about any of this mom?” I asked.“I knew there was a huge family secret, but I had no idea that it ran that deep. I had always had my suspicions about a few things but I could never get anyone to talk about it and even with how hard I look
I almost laughed at their faces when I told them in a calm voice that Tianya and Kylynn had beaten the shit out of the two biggest gang leaders in town. It was partially true. We had been out wandering around town one day when a group of guys started bothering us. We ignored them, but they didn’t get the hint. They followed us for a few blocks; just as Tianya and Kylynn were going to turn around and ask them what the fuck their problem was, another group of guys appeared, and that's when shit went down. It turned out that they were rival gangs, and the one was partially coming to make them leave us alone and ask them why they were on their turf. I was terrified, but Tianya and Kylynn stood there staring at all guys as if they were bored. They probably were. I knew a fight between the two groups was imminent, and I was pulling on their arms to get us out of there. Of course, that didn’t
I didn’t miss how that guy looked at Everly as we walked out, and I sure didn’t miss how she acted towards him. She acted as if she was afraid of him, considering how she clung to me as we walked out. I looked at him briefly and thought I had seen him before, but I was not sure. He didn’t look too imposing, and I am positive that I could handle him if he gave her trouble. He walked out the front door as we walked over to the elevator to get to our cars. I can’t help but laugh every time I see Kylynn climb into Brent’s lifted truck. I did notice that he put some step boards on the truck. I am guessing to make it easier for her to get into the damn thing. I shake my head and climb into the driver's seat. I reached over and placed my hand over her hand, which was rubbing her belly. I hoped it would relax her. She looked at me, and there it was, that beautiful
There was a shit ton of nervous energy in this room. Alayni and Travis had landed earlier than they thought they would. They got into Savannah at around midnight. Everly had woken up to Alayni’s group text, letting everyone know that they had arrived and the meeting would still take place around noon. Of course, Tianya responded by telling all the girls they needed to meet her and Kylynn for breakfast. I was hesitant to let Everly out of my site, but I also didn’t want the lecture from Tianya and Kylynn I knew I would get if I didn’t let Everly go. I dropped Everly off at the restaurant that Kylynn had chosen. Us men decided to meet for breakfast as well. Gio told us about this new place, so that is where we met. I sat down beside Lance as Alek introduced me to everyone else.“This is Rondell.” Travis said.
“Where the hell are we going to up all this shit?” I ask.“I have no idea, but I am sure we can store it somewhere until the house is done.” Everly answers.This room is overflowing with everything a newborn would need. It is official; my mother has gone insane. Christmas was fantastic, and it was great having Rondell here for it. He returned to Detroit two days ago but told us he would visit more. Rondell laughed as we opened presents. I am positive that my son will not need anything until he is in his teens.“Seriously, mom has lost her mind. He hasn’t even been born, and he already has a toddler bed. I am not sure we are going to be able to fit all this stuff into the nursery in the house. He has more clothes than I do
I knew that Kaden was anxious about that meeting between Arthur, the lawyer and the mystery person. Kaden and Lance had to fly out today for the meeting in Boston. They weren’t due to leave until Tuesday, but the meeting had to be pushed up. The whole North East was expecting a terrible winter storm, and Kaden and Lance didn’t want to get stuck up in Boston for who knows how long. They are due back Saturday. The storm is expected to hit Sunday, so they wanted to make sure they left before it rolled in. I am currently over at Mark and Claire’s. I didn’t want to stay in the apartment alone, and Gio had to fly home. He had a family emergency, and that would have left me alone in the apartment. Claire told me to come to stay with them until Kaden got back, and I was more than happy to do that. Claire and I were planning my baby shower. I told her that I really didn’t
I don’t think I have ever seen Auntie so pissed. Grandmother was not much better, but Auntie was really pissed. I knew they had gone with our lawyer to talk with someone about that stupid contract. They had been hoping their lawyer could find some sort of loophole and get everything we were entitled back. Something tells me that whatever they found out was not what they expected. Both had come home, and I could tell by the looks on their faces that they were pissed. I knew Jalyssa had quit working at Kaden’s office. I told her she was stupid, but I knew the forced paternity test freaked her out. She didn’t think that Kaden would fight her on it, which was stupid on her part. I had talked to her a few times, but she had all but disappeared. Grandmother and Auntie didn’t even know where she was. Malik had called to let me know that the paternity test had come back,
One Year Later I had no idea that a toddler could move that fast. I am chasing Colton around the backyard. This little guy is quick. He is a year and a half now and growing like a weed. Everly and I got married six months ago, and everything has been great. Leaving him when we went on our honeymoon was hard, but I know he had a blast with his grandparents. He was thrilled when he got a set of golf clubs for Christmas. Dad and Aaron took him golfing when we were on our honeymoon; now, Colton is obsessed with it. He will actually sit there for hours and watch tournaments on tv. I will probably get him some golf lessons in a couple of years. He also loves hockey. That is thanks to Drew. Justin and Tristian. Those three are hockey fanatics and have taken Colton to several games. I laugh when I see Tianya and Kylynn walking over to where we are. They were suspossed to have started their next tour five months ago, but things happened. They had some issues with the recordings
Six months later “Are you laughing at me?” Kaden asks. “Yes, I am. I am sorry but it was funny.” I tell him. Kaden is a wonderful father to Colton. Colton loves being with his father. I am glad they have such a fantastic relationship, even if Colton is only six months. I can’t help but laugh at the two of them. Kaden was changing Colton’s diaper, and Colton just peed on his father. I was told stories about incidents like this happening, and luckily this is the first time that this has happened to Kaden. I walk over and take Colton from Kaden so he can get cleaned up. I laugh some more when Kaden pouts as he walks to our room. I am in love with our house. When Kaden showed me Colton’s nursery, I cried. I couldn’t believe he had done that for me. The nursery was set up perfectly, and I didn’t change a thing about it. I was surprised to see the glider there, but I love that. That is where I sit when I feed Colton. I love this little man so much. I am surprised that he
I let out a groan as I opened my eyes. The room was dimly lit, which I was thankful for. I looked at the wall, and it was plain white. I knew it wasn’t the room that I was being held in, but I had no idea where this room was. I could smell disinfectant and hear several different beeping sounds. I looked around and realized I was in the hospital. I immediately tried to get up but almost screamed as pain ripped through my stomach. I placed a hand on my stomach to find it soft and flat. I started to freak out when I didn’t feel my hard baby belly anymore. “Calm down, little sprite. Everything is fine.” Kaden says. I look to where his voice came from to see him standing there. His hand is on my arm, making me stay in bed. I look at him, and I can feel the tears in my eyes. I remember hearing several voices, and then the pain started. Shit, I went into labor at that damn house. I also remember seeing blood before I passed out. “Did I lose…” I start to say. “Hush, our litt
I was beyond pissed off. Not only had these assholes been playing games with us for almost a year now they had officially crossed the line. They had kidnapped Everly. I knew the moment Gio walked in that something was wrong. When he said that Everly had gone to meet me at the house after she had received a text from me, I knew they had her. I called Sean immediately and told him what had happened and that Everly had been taken. I could hear him growl on the other end of the line. He told us to meet at the house since she was taken from that place. There were several cars there when we pulled up. “Shit when did they get back?” Gio asked. Standing there arguing with Doug was none other than Tianya and Kylynn. They weren’t due back until tomorrow. I watch as everyone walks into the house. The five of us hurried inside, and I was surprised to see Dad there. He held up Everly’s handbag, and a new wave of anger rushed threw me. I grabbed it and started digging through it. I f
I slowly open my eyes. I almost get them open when I close them again quickly. The light in this room is blinding. I slowly open my eyes again and try to sit up. A bolt of pain rips through my head, making me grab it. I feel a large bump, and my hand comes in contact with something dry and crusty in my hair. I gingerly scoot back until my back hits the wall. I keep my eyes closed until my head stops spinning. I open them again and look around. I am in what appears to be a bedroom. I don’t recognize anything in this room. I sit there for a while, trying to figure out where I am when things slowly start coming back to me.__FLASHBACK__I had been fed up with being at the apartment and wanted to get out of the house. I jumped into the shower. I had a sweater dres
Three weeks is all we have left until our little man arrives. Aunt Lisa told us today that he could really arrive any day. I can tell that Everly is both excited and anxious. Honestly, I am feeling the same way. I still can’t believe that the birth of my son is that close. It seemed like yesterday when Everly walked into that meeting, and then I found out she was pregnant with my son. “You looked stressed,” Lance says. “I am not stressed. I am more anxious than anything. There are only three weeks left until the baby is here. Aunt Lisa told us that he could literally arrive any day now.” I reply. “Everything will be fine. Both of you have tons of support. I will admit your cousin is a big fucking crybaby.” Lance states.
Two more months is all I have left. Thank god, I am over being pregnant. I love my son and feel him move around, but my back is killing me. My feet hurt, and I feel like an overfilled water balloon. I am getting very worried that if he grows any more that I won’t be able to have him naturally. Aunt Lisa told me at my monthly appointment that everything was looking good. From her estimates, she says that he is 7lbs, maybe even a bit over that right now. Of course, that pushed me into overthinking mode. I shudder when I realize that if he gains a pound or more a month until I give birth, he could weigh 9lbs or more. There is no way I can push that out of my body. I can feel the panic attack starting.“Ok, you need to calm down. Everything is going to be fine.” Claire says.&
I am worried about Everly. She has been acting strange this last week. I know it has nothing to do with the pregnancy, so something else is happening. She doesn’t seem any more stressed than normal. I can tell that these last three months are going to be the hardest for her. Our little man has grown considerably, and Everly has been complaining of back pain. I make sure to run her a nice hot bath every night, which she enjoys, along with her nightly foot massages. I love seeing her pregnant with my son, but I also hate seeing her in pain. I talked with Aunt Lisa earlier, but she told me that there is nothing she can really do. She told me that this is normal for being in her third trimester of pregnancy. I hate that there is nothing I can do to help her. Aunt Lisa said doing the little things that I have been a big help in keeping Everly comfortable. I am glad she has stoppe
We met with Arthur two days ago, and I am still processing what he told us. I was expecting the mystery person to be one of moms relatives, but I was not expecting it to be my grandmother and one of my aunts. Ironically the two mystery people that showed up with the lawyer are the same to that randomly showed up that day at mom and dads and made a huge scene. I am not sure what to think. I looked at mom, and she didn’t seem surprised at all. Everly and dad were on the way to the airport to pick up Gio. He finally got everything straightened out with his family. He said that his dad is doing good and should be getting out of the hospital in a couple more days. They wanted to make sure there were no other clots anywhere before they sent him home.“How are you holding up?” Brent asks.&l
