Nate

The bedroom was completely dark, if not for a crack that came from the space between a curtain and the other. Maya was lying on the bed next to her, and I walked over to her.

I knelt before her, her eyes open and red with tears. I pulled strands of her hair from her face and stroked her cheek with my thumb. Maya’s eyes were lost in the air, and when I touched her, her red-grey eyes were pointing at mine. As soon as our looks met, her eyes filled with tears again and she began to sob.

"I want my baby," she said in a hoarse voice between hiccups.

It broke my heart, even more, to see her in that state, knowing that I couldn’t do anything, I was powerless as never before in my life. She felt her eyes wet and I couldn’t stop crying anymore, I put my forehead on the mattress and started sobbing. 

She felt Maya put her hands in my hair "Nate."

"I don’t know what to do, I’m powerless,

    JessThe night had passed slowly, perhaps too much. I had dozed off on the couch a few times, only to be woken up by one of the children to feed them.May and Nate had been sleeping all night, watched on sight by my mother and Maya’s father. Everyone was terrified of all that stress and what it would cause the child; therefore, Maya’s father kept checking on her and was tempted to call the gynecologist. We were all walking a tightrope.At that moment it was late morning, Axel had been moved to the new family home and, shortly thereafter, Lucas would go.Nate had left the room ten minutes earlier, he had just poured himself a cup of coffee and sat on the couch without saying a word. Maya was completely cooped up in her room and didn’t want to go out or see anyone.I was worried, it wasn’t good for either of them to be in that state, but I didn’t know how to behave, or what to do to help them, i

    LucasI rang the ring bell and waited for the door to open. Shortly after the door opened and in front of me, there was a woman, with dark hair tied back on her nape. She looked at me frowning."Hello, I have an order from the judge, I am here as a civil educator regarding the new child, Axel Dare," I said and handed her the letter from the judge."Finally someone for that little critter. From the moment they brought him here, all he did was cry, his screams could already be heard in the car, he didn't let sleep anyone in the house."My heart tightened and I entered after the woman stood to the side to let me pass.The house was a mess, children running from one side to the other while Axel’s crying echoed everywhere."Did he eat?" I asked, taking off my purse and jacket.The woman shook her head "Reject anything, the assistants who brought him this morning said that he did not eat even last night, but

    NateWe walked into the social worker’s building, Maya and I were holding hands, while in front of us was my father with Zeke and Chris who would be our legal representatives.Maya wore a pair of dark glasses and walked silently beside me, almost as if she wanted to hold onto me and support me when I couldn’t do it by myself."Do you know if Axel is here?" I asked Zeke and Chris."He should be in the building, I don’t know where. Lucas said social workers took him from the group home and brought him here," Chris said, clutching his briefcase.I clenched my teeth and Maya’s hand as we headed for the elevator."When you see Brad, don’t say a word, don’t complicate things, let us talk to his lawyer and the judge, okay?" Zeke said once the doors closed.I sighed and leaned against the elevator wall, closing my eyes."I don’t know if I can keep from smashing his fac

    MayaI was in pieces. Destroyed. I hadn’t slept in days, I hadn’t eaten in days, and I knew how fucking wrong it was, I had to think about my little girl too, but I couldn’t think to breathe without my little first-begotten son.I had to see him, hug him, and inhale his wonderful scent. I didn’t give a shit about all these stories these four assholes were shooting, and, yeah, I didn’t even care that my father-in-law was involved. I didn’t care about anyone, just Axel."Where’s my son," I said for the second time, this time with clenched teeth.The judge looked at the social worker and nodded. The woman got up and left the room. I also got up, and I stood behind Nate, putting my hands on the back of his chair, feeling agitated. I couldn’t take it anymore, I was tired, under stress, and scared. If I could find a hair off my baby’s head, I’d burn the whole building to the ground.I knew that in the last few days Axel was doing relatively well, I knew he had eaten little, but he had done

    NateWe walked into the apartment early in the afternoon, we got some KFC hoping to cheer Axel up, since he’d been quiet the whole time, we’d bought his favorite sandwich with the toy, but Axel had refused to eat, without saying a word, He shook his head and hid his face in Maya’s neck.He didn’t even want to sit in his car seat. As soon as we tried to put him in, he began to tremble and hold Maya tightly, who, with eyes full of tears, had kept him all the time sitting on her lap.At that moment, we were returning to the apartment. Maya laid Axel on the ground, kneeling before him and taking off his denim jacket while I locked the door. I heard Maya sniff the air and then watched Axel."Why didn’t you tell me you got dirty?" she asked softly.Axel lowered his head and shook it, not saying a word. Maya looked at me, her eyes watering, unable to do anything. I took off my jacket and pulled down, squatting next to Axel while Maya got up and went into the kitchen."Hey buddy, how about t

    MayaNate went into Axel’s room, and I followed him. My child was standing in his bed, clinging to the bars and screaming at the top of his throat, his face full of terror and tears running down his cheeks. As soon as he saw Nate, he squealed even more and pushed himself to get out. Nate picked him up, and Axel immediately grabbed him, almost as if he wanted to stick to his father’s body."Axel, no alone," he said in sobs.It squeezed my heart, and I passed a hand on his back. Nate began to rock him slowly as he kissed him on the cheeks. I took his pacifier and put it in his mouth as Axel closed his eyes. As his body became heavy and his arms dangled, Nate approached to leave him in his bed.As Nate leaned over to leave him in bed, Axel shut his eyes and spit out his pacifier, screaming like a madman and clinging to Nate’s neck."NO!" he screamed loudly as he struggled."Wait, don’t put him in bed," I said to Nate.Nate retreated and began to rock him as Axel rested his head on his

    NateMaya stayed in Axel’s room trying to calm him down while I called the paediatrician to ask what to do in these cases. Axel was agitated, his eyes were wide open, and he had no intention of going to sleep. He had clung to his mother with all his might and had no intention of leaving her.He was terrified of something, I could only imagine what kind of trauma he had after being ripped out of Maya’s arms like that and spending days alone with strangers. Knowing also the distrust he felt towards others had not been at all easy for him and he wept my heart to see him in that state.I explained the situation to the pediatrician, also describing what seemed like panic attacks for Axel. I was afraid to take him to a specialist, I was afraid that he would tell us to bomb him with drugs and I did not want my son to be subjected to such things already so small.The paediatrician listened carefully to everything I said, even

    NateWe had just returned from the visit to the gynecologist, according to the doctor was all right, the pulse was there and it was strong. Maya had expressed her fears and the doctor had reassured her, telling her to pay more attention to stress and rest as much as possible.I looked at Axel from the rearview mirror and noticed that he had fallen asleep in his car seat, the bottle we gave him dangled and still held him tight in his little hand. Lately, he was broken, he slept little and he was always agitated. He played less and many times he was silent, he just sat on the mat and watched his toys. I didn’t like what was happening to him at all, I didn’t like that this little creature was already so traumatized, and I wanted to rip the head off whoever caused that pain.Maya was sitting next to me, texting on the phone."Some secret admirer texting you for a quickie?" I asked, recalling the scenes of jealousy that were raging in the last days whenever I was holding the phone."I’m no

    MeganI was in the driveway of the Dare’s cottage, Lucy and Andy had stopped me, asking me how the trip to Europe had gone, I tried to unblock them soon, they were not my goal. I turned to the door and I froze. In front of the door were Axel and Emma hugging each other.I shouldn’t have been jealous, right? He’s her cousin, she’s my best friend. There was nothing to worry about, but something about that hug made me feel weird in my chest. I shook my head and looked at them. Axel and Emma broke off and began to talk calmly, Axel’s eyes glowing. I shook my hands, and when I couldn’t, I rushed into the house."Axel!" I shouted as I entered like a fury, I moved Emma by force, so as to get her away from him and I rushed into Axel’s arms.Axel immediately grabbed me and pushed me against him, hugging me as he hadn’t ever done. I felt my heart galloping in my chest as I surrounded his neck with my arms and savored his perfume, leaving me intoxicated by those sensations that only he had been a

As always, let me know what you think!****************AxelI was lying on the pool deck in the twilight; I liked to be in the dark, while a girl was grinding on me, her hot pussy covered only by a skimpy short, which rubbed against my crotch, trying to make me hard. Her lips were glued to my neck as she licked and sucked my skin. Boring.I looked around bored and met my sister on the other side of the pool, also seated on a deck chair, I gave her a mischievous smile, and she rolled her eyes before pointing at her cell phone.I moved the girl slightly, put a hand in her pocket, and then pulled out the phone and saw that she had sent me a message.Close Dad's office and their room. She wrote to me.I have already done it little sister. I answered immediately.For God's sake, go inside; you make me want to thr

Tell your brother to lock the door," Dad said on the other side of the phone.I turned my eyes and looked for Axel "Yes, Dad, as soon as I find him I tell him to go close the office but I’m sure he has already done it, you know how psychopathic he is," I said with a sigh."Alison don’t call your brother a psychopath," I heard he saying."Oka

Another day he was gone and I could finally go home to my children. I closed the door of my office and went towards the exit."Hi, Sandra, I’ll see you on Monday," I said to the secretary on my way to the elevator.Sandra was a little over 20 years old and she was still in college, we hired her to do an internship and I had to admit that she was really good and I hoped that after university she would stay and work for us, we needed her help.I went into the elevator and picked up the phone to send a message to my beautiful husband, hoping that he too had disconnected from work and had taken the children from their grandparents.Spring b

    Nate"I swear to Dare, no more sex!" Maya said with clenched teeth as she doubled over in pain.I didn’t say a word, I just held her hand, which was now sore from how hard Maya was holding her, so much as to almost break her, I’m sure she imagined it was my dick.I sighed and continued to listen in silence to the series of insults he was giving me, it had been going on for hours now, almost ten to be precise. Maya had been in labour for almost ten hours. Ten hours of pain, insults, threats, crying, and I stood still for ten hours. I hadn’t moved from his bedside for ten hours, I hadn’t even gotten up to pee, and I was tempted to ask for a catheter.Maya pierced another sequence of insults for me as the door to her room opened and the midwife entered with some nurse."Okay, Maya, now let’s see how dilated you are," said the midwife, putting on gloves and between Maya’s legs, "Well, we can see her he

    Maya"Please Ali," Nate said in a desperate tone.I turned with the cup in my hand, resting on the kitchen counter, and looked at him. Nate’s hair was all messed up and he was trying, with all his might, to get Alison to eat, which she blissfully refused, turning her head every time her father approached her with a spoon, but she turned her head to the other side, stoic and composed, as she used to do.I covered my smile with the mug as I watched a desperate Nate with our daughter, I should have stepped in, but I knew Alison was doing it on purpose, I knew Ali was going crazy to see Nate begging for help, she loved to watch him hang on her. I didn’t dare imagine what it would be like to grow up and deal with men, it would make anyone fall at his feet."I’m done," Axel said, placing the teaspoon in the empty cereal bowl."Do you want me to help you brush your teeth?" I asked looking at him.Axel shook his head and l

    NateWe got to the ceremony just before it started. Ali, like the usual princess she was, was in my arms, with her hands clinging to my neck and her gaze turned to the sky, watching the planes fly high. Axel instead walked next to his mother, a narrow hand in Maya’s and the other in his pocket, while walking head high like a little boss. At the entrance of the hall where the ceremony would be celebrated, Jess and Andrew, with the twins, were waiting for us, standing with their hands tight with those of their parents, while their eyes were directed at the crowd that was gathering in the hall of the ceremony.Emma had her blond hair tied in a tail on the nape of her neck, a little red dress and she held Andrew’s hand while admiring the passers-by with their eyes wide open full of curiosity, while Liam looked at the bored people, her hand tight with that of my sister’s harpy."Hey, May!" he heard a call behind our backs and both Maya and

Maya had been exceptional, had managed to finish the course in less than three years and with pregnancy, thanks also to her knowledge of studies after nursing school, but anyway it was an excellent result because now she would become a full-fledged doctor and could work as she really wanted."Your fault daddy" I heard Axel muttering.I turned to look at him, he wa

I walked into the office and that asshole was fucking her on the desk!" my sister said indignantly.Maya nodded as she passed the cream on her arm, and followed the movement with my eyes as I held Axel in my arms."You can do whatever you want, mind you, but not with a fucking client and not in the fucking office!" she said, snorting.I sighed when Maya moved the action on her chest, gently smearing the cream, as I remembered the night before and what I had done with that wonderful breasts. The thought of it threatened to give me an incredible erection and I had to concentrate on not getting it."And this other asshole?" said Jess, "Instead of standing here drooling over your wife, go look at the kids!"
