I was going to be around nine months pregnant in a week and this little buddy was going to come out soon. A lot has changed in last six months. I was no longer living in my apartment. Bryan had bought a new house which was closer to Travis and Aiden's house.The nursery was ready with hues of yellow and blue. Aiden and I had grown close but there had been nothing more than kisses and holding each other. The new house had many rooms and one of them was Aiden’s but he usually slept with me. He didn't go to his apartment often and just stayed here with me. He didn't want to miss any part of the baby and me being pregnant. He had warmed up to my heart, but hadn't been able to get that place back in my heart. His relationship with his mother was still rocky but they were at least talking. Whereas Laura and Aiden had drifted worlds apart.Laura had a breakdown
ValerieGod, this had to happen with me only. I groaned internally. this was right embarrassing. I felt Aiden sleeping on my legs with his hand feeling heavy on my belly. Besides it, I realize one more thing which was that I was going to puke. I felt it was coming, I knew it was and before I know I quickly pushing Aiden away and rushing to the bathroom kissing the porcelain seat. I puked and puked then brushed my teeth, gargled with mouthwash to get rid of that vile taste of bile. Being pregnant was not an easy task. "You have been caught red handed Aiden." It was Shay who was talking when I reached back to the living room. Aiden was on the floor rubbing his head. In my run to the bathroom, I might have pushed him a little too hard. Carmen stared at him while Shay busy staring at his share of uneaten food and smoothie. "I think we should have clicked the picture of the two together first," Carmen spoke without caring about the food. "Carmen she was eating mozzarella sticks and d
Aiden held my face and kissed me. I was stunned. I should have pulled back but I couldn't. I just couldn't. I was responding to his kiss, tasting our tears in it. Our kiss was passionate, our lips hungry for each other. It was a kiss filled with love and passion but yet soft. I could feel every part of my body needing his touch. It was wrong and yet it felt so right to do it. I was being lifted and pushed on my back. Our kiss never breaking. His torso in between my legs and my legs wrapped around him. His face in my hand and he took control over our kiss. Our tongues danced in sync. I was breathing heavily, I was feeling a need and then suddenly out of nowhere Laura popped up in my mind and the moment was lost from my side. My body stilled. My lips no longer responding to his and we break apart from our kiss. His eyes looked into mine searching for what stopped me. "What happened Val?" He asked concerned and worried. I closed my eyes and touch my lips. I knew that kiss we just had wa
Valerie "You... you what?" I finally managed to choke out."I didn’t know what else to do," he said, tears streaming down his face. "She was crying, Val. She was so upset, and I just wanted to make it better. I thought if I agreed, she’d be happy, and things would calm down. But I didn’t mean it. I don’t want to marry Laura. I don’t want to be with anyone but you."His words swirled around in my mind, but I couldn’t make sense of them. He had agreed to marry Laura? How could he do that to me, to us? I felt a surge of anger and betrayal."You agreed to marry her?" I repeated, my voice shaking. "How could you, Aiden? How could you do that to us?""I didn’t mean it," he pleaded. "I was just trying to calm her down. I don’t want to marry Laura. I love you, Val. You and our baby are everything to me.""But you said yes," I said, my voice rising. "You told her you’d marry Laura. Do you have any idea how that makes me feel? Do you even care about what I want, what I need?""Of course, I car
I waited for Aiden to speak something. I wasn;t a patient being but with him I was trying to be. I could see he was fighitng a battle on the inside buit I couldn;t do anytging until he spoke himself. "Mom dropped by the office today," he began. "She demanded to know when I was marrying you," that was literally nothing new. Why ouldn;t the woman get the hint that it wasn;t happening. "I told her it was none of her business, and she went ballistic, telling me that wasn’t the way I should speak to her." I still hated that woman. Travis had made sure she left me alone, even cutting ties with her. Aiden had tried to do the same, but she was his mother, and it was hard for him. I didn’t want him to cut her off for my sake anyway. He had a mother, and although she was mean and self-centered, no son should be separated from his mother. I wouldn;t want my child to be serpated from me like that. "Then she said that if we weren’t getting married, I should marry Laura." I was stunned. I looked
ValerieAs the doorbell rang happiness surged inside of me. At last, my angel came.Opening the door wide my whole concentration was on the packets in his hand rather than on him. Taking the packets for him I just went inside straight to the kitchen without a hello or anything.I just wanted to devour what was inside that packet before Carmen or Shay caught me. Carmen would literally fry me if she knew that I was busy eating fried mozzarella sticks that too with a vanilla chocolate smoothie. I heard the door close and him coming to the kitchen.This had become our norm, I would rush to the kitchen with the food and set each of us with a plate, mine always had a little a more than his. Whatever I ate, he had to eat that too, it was a part in a way for him to become the part of my pregnancy. I hadn;t lied to him when I had said that he would be a part of this preganncy in every step. As I looked up to see where he was I found his near the kitchen door. He stood there smiling at me wi
Valerie Two months later..................."Why," I questioned. "Why now," I was almost near to pnaick. "Why?" My father asked. "What do you mean by why. We are just going to meet each other and Bryan called me here to meet with him, Valerie. I think we should have talked to each other months back." Dad said while standing at the entrance of the house and by dad I meant Travis. I called them both dad but this was going to be first freaking time they were going be together face to face. I won't lie this whole dad one and dad two concept was so confusing for me. I have already told them if they ever were in the same room I will call them by their name rather than Dad. I haven't let them meet each other until now. If you remember when Bryan met Laura's father he beat the shit out of him. I don't want a recap of that with Travis. Gosh I still cringed thinking how beat up Laura's father was after Bryan's beating. "I'm having a bad feeling about this." I really was not going to tend t
Valerie "I.. never knew." a tremble in his voice made me believe that he really had no idea that what had happened."When my father came to know that I wasn't his he decided to hurt my mother by having affairs and dangling them in front of her," I paused taking in deep breaths. "My mother loved my father a lot but she understood what she had done," I continued even though all the memories were painful."She knew that she had hurt him too much, betrayed him. So she decided not to fight with Dad, she fought with the pain she suffered but she didn't give up easily. For four years she lived on knowing how her husband was cheating and hurting her. She lived for me until the day it became too much to handle." A tear escaped my eyes as I remembered finding her dead. The memory was ingrained in my brain for the rest of my life. Looking up to Travis I saw his eyes turned away from mine. He couldn't even look at me anymore.If only he had been brave enough to do the test last time this wouldn'
ValerieI waited for him in the cafe near my office, and let me tell you it was torture. The smell of coffee was in the air and it was hard to not have it. So I did the right thing and ordered one latte for me. I googled and even my doctor said a cup a day won't do any harm but under the watchful eye of Carmen, Shay, and dad I couldn't even have a whiff of coffee. One little sip of it was heaven for me. It had been six days since the thought of meeting him has been taking over my mind. The last I had seen him was a week before.Last night I had asked Aiden for his number when he came home with me. Aiden did really give me space and time. He called before even thinking of coming and he apologized times and again because of his mother showing up here. I really didn't say much about what happened between me and his mother. The only words that slipped my lips was that I didn't like her and he had promised that she won't disturb me anymore. I had called Travis and asked him to meet me at t
Valerie All I was trying to do was reach home hastily as people rushed along the sidewalk around me. I might have even bumped into a few but at this point, I just didn't care. As my apartment building came into view a sigh of relief left me, finally I was there. At last, I was going to be home. The only thing I was glad about was it being situated in the hustle and bustle part of the city and being within walking distance of the office, only if you liked to walk. It was a time saver yet I have been unable to be back home for the last two days. Walking into my apartment the first thing I did was fall onto the couch, a wave of exhaustion instantly hit me. Waking up early and staying at the office for days to submit plans for an event that was almost a week away may not have been the best idea. No one said event planning was easy - the deadlines, the nagging clients, and the pressure to make everything perfect were extremely draining on employees. After the stressful day, all I wanted
