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
I push myself away from my desk and stand up. I walked away from my chair and to the large window of my office. I stand there looking out of it, hoping I might finally see her. I know that is impossible mainly because my office is on the top floor of the building, which happens to be 25 stories straight up. That night keeps replaying in my mind over and over. A smile graces my face when I think of my shy sexy little red-haired sprite. Again my mind drifts back to that night. __FLASHBACK__ Brent, Alek, Lance, and I had just entered the club. Alek and Lance own it, so we often come here to relax and burn off steam. I look around, seeing many of the same faces, but then my eyes land on her. She is sitting there with another girl with black hair and a guy with dark green hair and a lip ring. They are laughing amongst themselves. I can’t take my eyes off her. The black-haired girl pulls her up, and a smile tugs on my lips. The little redhead that has caught my attention is ti
The room was quiet for I don’t know how long. All I could do was stare, and I was not sure who I was staring at more. Everly my shy sexy little redhead or the two biggest fucking rockstars to date. These two women had come out of nowhere and literally taken over the music industry. Their guitar skills are different from anyone else's, and their voices are beyond amazing. Not to mention they are ridiculously gorgeous. Everyone wants to work with them. They are not my type since I have a thing for redheads but having them stand before me has me seeing them in a way that I never thought I would. They are both three or four inches taller than Everly, making them around 5’4”. Both have matching dark emerald green eyes with hazel sprinkled in them. Their long natural silvery platinum blonde hair has thick chunks of colour flowing throughout it—multiple shades of blue for Kylynn and multiple shades of purple for Tianya. If I didn't know they were cousins, I would swear they were sis
I had been feeling like shit for the last week. The nausea was awful, but the vomiting just started this morning. I had been talking with Malissa from HR, who was six months pregnant. She told me how terrible her morning sickness was during the first two or three months of her pregnancy, and that’s when it clicked in my head. I went home that night and read up on pregnancy, and I knew then that I needed to grab a test at some point. Now I sit with my back against the mirror on the vanity in my bathroom. I am staring at all eight positive pregnancy tests. Do I regret that night? Absolutely not. Kaden made that night perfect, even if he was drunk and doesn't remember it. I will never forget it, and now I will be reminded of it. “Everly where are you?” Kylynn asks. Of course, they would come over. They had asked earlier if I wanted to go to lunch with them, but as soon as I heard any discussion about food, my stomach basically told me to fuck off, and I had to tell them th
It’s only Wednesday, and I am already anxious. I still had two days until my date with Everly. I was surprised when she agreed to go to dinner with me. She returned to work Monday, so I sent her a get-well basket. I was in a meeting when she texted me, letting me know she got it. I am sure everyone thought I had lost my mind when I started smiling like an idiot during the meeting. Alek raised his eyebrow at me and shot me a smirk. That asshole can’t say anything. I know he has been texting Tianya like crazy, and I am positive something is happening between them. The fact that she showed up here yesterday is beside the point. She said they were meeting about something, but I knew that was bullshit but just shook my head and returned to my office. I know Brent has been texting Kylynn, but I am unsure what is happening with them. “What has you laughing like a dying hyena?” I ask. “Fuck off, we ran into Heath and Brad while we were getting lunch. Brent told them about our
I look at myself in the mirror one last time. I am beyond nervous as I grab my wallet and phone. I haven’t been this nervous since I was in high school. Ironically it had to do with Kylynn or Tianya at the time. I had seen a picture of the two of them that one of my friends had on his phone. How he got it and where he took it, I still don’t know, but I thought they were both beautiful. This was before the rock star thing and their dyed hair, tattoos, and body piercings. I had planned on finding them and asking both of them out. I figured that one of them would at least say yes. If Alek or Brent knew about this, they would laugh at or hit me; I'm not sure which reaction I would get. I have no reason to be nervous, yet I am. I unlock my car and slide into the driver's seat. I click the button, shut the garage, and drive toward the address Everly sent me earlier today. I am fully aware that I have my work cut out for me when it comes to her, but I don’t care. Something about
Ok, maybe the four of us should have been more concerned about meeting their entire family than we were. All of the men in this family are fucking huge. They are all my height or taller. I think Cole’s dad has to be 6’10”. Hell, he might even be taller than that. I can tell you that we were scared shitless, but we sure as hell didn’t show it. After a half-hour of questions making sure we weren’t going to hurt their little girls, which is hilarious, they were OK with us. I wonder if they even know that their little girls beat the shit out of more than half the guys at our school. Alek and I were shocked when they greeted his dad and mine like they were old friends. “We are old friends. We all went to school together back in Atlanta. Not to mention college as well.” Dad says. “Speaking of where is Christian and Lucy?” Uncle Greg asks. “They ran into some hard times and things turned out bad for them. Last we heard they were in North Carolina but who knows.” Kylynn’s dad
I can officially say that I am stressed out. My date with Kaden went great, and I had a fantastic time. The restaurant was marvelous, as was the food. I still can’t believe a man like Kaden would want me, but Cole is right. The man is seriously drop-dead gorgeous. I don’t even come to his shoulders, and since he and Marshall (Kylynn’s oldest brother) are the same height, I know he is 6’3” with his short black hair and light pale forest green eyes (they remind me of stained glass), he is seriously delicious. His perfect pale brown skin suits him well. His parents are so sweet, and he is the perfect mix of the two of them. I almost had a heart attack when I saw Alek’s mother. I had my first doctor's appointment last Friday, and everything went well. My ob-gyn gave me some vitamins to take as well as some medication to help with the vomiting. It has worked great. I still get nauseous, but thankfully the vomiting has stopped for the most part. I was surprised that my ob-gyn wa

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
