I feel like shit as I wake up the following day. I sit in bed and pull my knees up to my chin; well, not quite, but as close as I can—images of last night flash through my mind. I should have known when his mother kept looking at me when we were at the bar-b-que. Last night was suspossed to be a great chance to get to know his parents better, but as usual, I ruined it. When his mother asked how far along I was, I thought I would vomit. I quickly came up with an excuse as to why I was glowing. We had just spent a little over a week in LA. We had been outside a lot then, and we all returned slightly tanner. When I looked at Kaden’s face, I knew he was pissed. I couldn’t even look at his parents after his mother called me out. I don’t even want to know what they think of me. I am sure I am not the girl they want their son with. It's not like Kaden will want anything to do with me now. I pull myself out of bed and into the bathroom for a shower. I cried the entire time. Afte
I can tell that Everly is nervous as hell as we pull up to my parent's house. After last night I am sure she is terrified of seeing them again. I know for a fact that they are excited to see her and hear all about the baby. Mom called me while we were still at the site where our house would be built and asked if everything was ok. I told her that it was and that we would see her soon. I watched as Everly looked at the blueprints for the house. I admit that my heart was beating erratically when I told her I wanted her and our child to live with me in the house. When she fell apart in my arms, I knew that most of this deep-seated low self-esteem was caused by her stepmother. While the girls were in LA, I long talked with Dalton, Trevor, Korey, and Quade (Kylynn’s oldest brother). Drew, Gabe, Jayson (Tianya’s oldest brother), and Val (Kylynn’s other older brother) went with them to LA. I was told that Everly’s stepmother did an actual number on her. Dalton confirmed what the o
I slowly wake up when I feel something moving against me. I tighten my arm around whatever it is, but when my hand comes in contact with warm, soft skin, my eyes fly open. I am greeted with a bare neck and a few loose dark strawberry blond hair tendrils. I slip my hand farther up her shirt and onto the small bump. I still can’t believe that this beautiful woman is carrying my child. My aunt did tell us that Everly should start to feel our little man move soon. I can’t wait to feel him move within her. I couldn’t help but stare at her last night when she walked out wearing a tiny pair of pajama shorts and a tank top. Her bump was on full display. That was when I noticed how much her body had changed since she started showing. Of course, I noticed that her boobs have grown since I first saw her, which is to be expected, plus her curves have become more pronounced, especially around her hips. All of this has made her more beautiful in my eyes. I tighten my hold on her more when she starts
Getting out of bed this morning was difficult, not because of my stomach but because Kaden had me wrapped up in his arms. I was comfortable and warm, and he was kissing my neck. Which I thought was wrong. All that did was make me horny, and that isn’t hard to do these days. With all these hormones racing through my body, one look from him, and I am ready to go. Even the most innocent touches turn me on. I made sure to lock him out of the bathrooms as I got ready so that he wouldn’t cause me to be late. “Earth to Everly, you want to stop thinking about your sexy man.” Kylynn says. “Oh god sorry, I got lost in my head. I was not thinking about Kaden. Plus you are one to talk. I catch you day dreaming about Brent all the time.” I retort. “I do not day dream about Brent all the time only sometimes. Besides this conversation is not about Brent it is about Kaden. Is living together going ok so far, I know it has only been a couple of days but still.” Kylynn states. “It is
I knew I had a smile on my face this morning. I am sure the guys thought I was crazy. After three rounds of out-of-this-world love-making, Everly and I finally fell asleep. The first time we were together was excellent, but even better this time. Seeing her naked and pregnant with my child affected my libido, and I had to have her. Seeing the changes in her body set off a fire within me, and I couldn’t keep my hands off her. I guess it is true what they say about pregnancy and raging hormones. She woke me up by wrapping her pretty little lips around my cock. Not to mention that I was late to work since she rode me while we were in the shower and then let me take her from behind before the shower ended. Of course, no one will say anything about being late since I am one of the bosses. “I am surprised you showed up.” Brent states. I had just sat down when he stood in my doorway with that smart-ass smirk. Ok, so these three will give me shit about being late, but they don’t c
I hadn’t seen her in two years, and she sat with those women at a table. Even with their dyed hair, multiple tattoos, and other body modifications, I immediately recognized them. I had lost everything after she left. Well, after I made her leave. I told her that her father and I thought it would be better if she left and became an adult. I kicked her out right after she had graduated. The boys and their father lost it when they came home and found all her shit gone. I told them she had moved out and had no idea where she had gone. I was almost positive that she had gone to live with those two women. They had been to our house several times, and Everly’s father and brothers loved them. I knew their families, and I was not happy. I had finally made it, and those three wouldn’t ruin the life I had made for myself. “So the missing daughter has finally shown up after two long years?” Jalyssa asks. “Yes, and she was with those two women.” I answer. “Mom, I love you but messi
Something is wrong with Everly. I noticed it the moment I got home. I was surprised that she was home before I was. We either get home at the same time, or I get home about twenty or so minutes before her. She was sitting on the couch in one of my shirts and a pair of pajama shorts. She didn't even turn around when I walked in. She was lost in her own head. I could tell she had been crying, considering her eyes were red. She looked utterly withdrawn, and I had no idea what had happened. I walked into our room and quickly changed. I hurriedly texted both Tianya and Kylynn asking if they knew anything. They both told me the same thing. Everly had taken the day off to get stuff for the nursery. They asked me what was wrong, but I told them I had no idea but would tell them as soon as I found out. I am unsure if they were happy with that, but that is all I can give them now. I walk back to where she is sitting and sit beside her. I move some of her hair away from her face pl
Running into my stepmother had really shaken me up. It has been a week since I saw her last. I did see my father yesterday, but thankfully, he was across the street and too far away to see me. The fact that I had a beanie on and was walking in the opposite direction helped. I have been so thankful for Kaden since that run-in with my stepmother. He has been so sweet and reassuring, making me understand that all the horrible shit she told me that day was not remotely true. I knew it wasn’t, but all my insecurities from childhood came back. The whole ordeal sent me into a mild panic attack. I think that is what pissed Kaden off the most. She gave me a panic attack and stressed me out, and his concern for our child and me. “What is that look for little sprite?” Kaden asks. “I was just thinking how lucky I am that I have you. I know a few girls in my situation and they don’t have the support of the child's father. I am not even going to mention the whole incident with my bitc
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
