Maya
I got dizzy, and I grabbed the table while I kept my phone in my ear.
"May?" Jess asked me, getting up and coming right next to me, I handed her the phone and sat down.
"Please don’t tell me someone’s dying because Maya’s going to pass out," Jess said on the phone.
She remained silent for a moment, waiting for Lucas to answer, and when he arrived, Jess yelled "WHAT?!" Chaos broke out, all the children began to cry in despair.
"Luc what does that mean?" and she waited, "What do you mean you’re going to explain tonight?! No, Lucas doesn’t work like that! But what the fuck does that mean?! Of course we’re coming, okay, dress in blue, okay, license, bye," she said and then hung up.
Did she start angry and end up like a lamb as was possible?
"So?" I asked, taking water.
"Take the computer May, we have a license to ask," Jess said as he sat down.
"Excuse me? What the hell
MayaWe walked into a room in the maternity ward. Jess and I were diligently following Lucas who, strangely by his standards, was dressed casually unlike Jess who thought he was doing a fashion show."Don’t look at me like that, May," Jess said, admonishing me."You’re out of line in a hospital," I said."But at least I have class," she replied, moving her hair behind her shoulders in a dramatic gesture.I rolled my eyes as Lucas opened the door to the room and walked in. Jess and I followed him.In the room, sitting on the bed there was a girl, long red hair was tied in a high tail, freckles covered her face, and blue and green eyes were pointed at Lucas the moment I entered. Next to her was an elderly woman, leaning on a stick, her eyes looking like the girl’s, caressing her back gently."Jess, May, this is Madison," Lucas said, introducing himself.The girl looked at us and nodded her head, before
NateI parked the car in front of Maya’s parents' house while she sat next to me and puffed nonstop. It was Christmas Day and we had decided to spend the day at her parents' house while the night before we had been to my parents, but Maya did not agree. She woke up that morning and decided she didn’t want to move, she didn’t even want to get out of bed.I had woken up, washed and prepared, then I had stopped by to set up and prepare Axel and in the meantime, Maya had gone back to sleep. When I returned to my room I found her between the pillows and wrapped her in a duvet that slept happily. I had placed Axel on the bed and he had slowly approached his mother, then put his head next to hers and begin to fill her with kisses until she woke up.I shook my head and turned off the engine while Maya complained."Remind me why we didn’t have lunch at our house," she said."Because otherwise, you’d have to cook yourse
MayaDecember had arrived and gone as well as another year. We were already in January, and if I had thought about everything that had happened in the last year I would have seemed to have lived a hundred lives of different people. A year ago, Nate and I had just come out of limbo, and we decided to be together, to give ourselves a chance, despite the many doubts and fears we had chosen.And now, a year later, we were in a house of our own, with a wonderful child growing up every day in the midst of happiness, a baby coming, and our wonderful wedding. I was happy, yes. If a few years ago they asked me what I wanted to be happy, I would never have been able to imagine such a life, I would never have thought of a family like the one we were creating, and yet now, I couldn’t imagine myself without them."What are you thinking?" I heard Nate’s voice come up, and I looked up from the ceiling to the door of the walk-in closet where he was standing as he put his tie around his neck, his hair
NateI sighed and rested my back on the chair as I listened to the projections of the past year, my father spoke and spoke pointing to the most interesting points of the curve, while Jess in front of me wrote everything like a fucking schoolgirl. I looked at her and laughed at seeing her so focused to keep up with me.Jess looked up and glanced at me, mumbling a few words before returning to her notepad.I sighed and caressed my face as I looked back at my father, who kept talking nonstop. It was only 2:00 in the afternoon, but it was going to be a very long meeting.MayaI lay my hands on the bed while another contraction hit me fiercely. I squeezed the covers and breathed deeply, trying not to scream while waiting for the pain to pass.I’d been locked in this goddamn room for hours, with continuous, ever-closer contractions, and I was alone. My fucking husband wouldn’t a
Nate I was enchanted to look at my little girl in the arms of the woman of my life. Maya was sobbing in my arms as she gave little kisses on her head with some dark tufts until the nurse came up to get the baby. I watched her face off while Maya carefully passed the baby. My eyes did not detach in the slightest from her, I watched as the nurses weighed her, measured and washed her, in the meantime the midwife was still between Maya’s legs and finished her work. After several minutes, I got out of bed and waited for the nurse to come back with our little girl wrapped in a blanket, she had a hospital bracelet on her wrist, she had a pink hat on her head and her eyes were closed as she yawned. The nurse placed her in Maya’s arms and then tied the same bracelet to her wrist. Maya held our baby close to her chest as she passed her nose across her face. I stood next to her as I watched her, feeling her heart pumping in her chest, only something was
NateAxel was still sleepy while I put on his little toothbrush and brushed his teeth gently. He let himself be cleaned quietly without resisting, with his eyes closed and his body staggered from sleep. I had him standing on the floor of the main bathroom sink and held him with one arm around the pelvis as I quickly prepared him for the hospital.He was still wearing his spiderman pajamas, his hair was completely ruffled, and his head slowly followed the movements I made to brush his teeth.After the hourglass dropped the last speck, I pulled the toothbrush out of her mouth."Spit," I ordered, and Axel did as I told him, then opened his eyes and looked at the hourglass.When he saw satisfied that the hourglass was empty, he nodded proudly and then looked at me through the mirror as I rolled my eyes. I picked him up and turned on the water and then I washed his face gently.Once clean we went back to the room. The room was dark
NateI opened my eyes when a desperate cry came to me from the baby monitor. I rubbed my eyes and grabbed my phone. It was 3:00 in the morning. It had been a little over an hour since she woke up.I sat on the bed and I turned to Maya. She slept blissfully with just my shirt on, she was standing next to me and holding the blanket in her hands. I sighed and got up and went to Ali’s room.When I came in, my eardrums were completely pierced by her crying. I hurried to pick her up, to keep Axel from waking up.As soon as I picked her up, Ali stopped screaming and looked at me with her blue eyes still full of tears as I swayed slowly with her in my arms. I bent down to give her a gentle kiss on the forehead and then I looked at her."What’s wrong with you this time?" I said softly, "I changed you an hour ago, so it can’t be the diaper. Maybe you’re hungry?" I asked her again how she could answer.I didn&rsqu
NateI stretched and closed the computer and then I got up and quickly grabbed my jacket, put it on and took the briefcase. I heard a knock at the door and looked up to meet Chris on the doorstep, with his shoulders resting on the door frame and his arms crossed against his chest."Hey," I said grabbing my phone and chatting with Maya.It was already seven o'clock in the evening and we promised to have dinner together."So," Chris said, scratching his head, and I looked up, scowling, "Do you remember Sarah?""Andrew’s cousin?" I said frowning.I remember they had something at my sister’s wedding, spent the night together, and then went out for a while. Chris had fallen off the wagon, but they had been on and off for several months before finally breaking up. Chris had spent months like a soul in pain until she had called him back, just to fuck obviously, so they started seeing each other to fuck and every time Chris was
