In the presence of a lover, evaluation will no longer be so smooth and cynical. They will give their time freely. As we hesitantly hint to something, they will get eager and excited. They will say 'go on' when we stumble and hesitate. They won't just say 'poor you' and turn away. They will search out relevant details and will definitely piece together an accurate picture that does justice to our inner lives. The fragile parts of ourselves will be in safe hands with them. We will feel immense gratitude towards this person who does something that we had maybe come to suspect would be impossible: know us really well and still like us, still choose us and still want us. By this time, we have escaped from that otherwise dominant, and devastating sense that the only way to get people to like us is to keep most of who we are under wraps.We will start to feel like we really exist. Our identity will be safe, we won't be the only guardians of our story because they too will be. When the worl
I slowly opened my eyes as I heard tiny voices whispering besides me.'no... what should we do? I can't have her here. She's fucken claiming that you got her fiance in an accident..' 'baby relax please.. we will talk to her, I will convince her that I did it.. I have proof.' I closed my eyes and saw them sitting on the couch in the other side of the table in front of me."She wasn't even willing to listen. Goodness Jasmine... I hate this." I watched as Jasmine pulled the girl to kiss her cheek, "if it wasn't for you I wouldn't even be here. You got me the help that I needed.. let's tell her the truth.. it's up to her if she'll take it or not." I got up looking all confused. I couldn't remember where I was at first but as soon as I took in my surroundings I remembered ealrier.. The girls both looked at me and kept quiet as if allowing me to take in where I was."What time is it and what happened?" "I called Susan and Paige, they'll be here to fetch you... you fell I think.. you
"YOU'RE EATING FOR TWO..." CHAPTER THIRTY TWOYou know life is really full of surprises, one moment you could be getting lost and losing your mind even and then suddenly something changes and then things start looking good... or working out for better.. When Tia told me that she will go ahead with the IVF.. I couldn't believe it, I was thinking "whaaat? So you think this is a good idea..?" She sat me down and told me that she believes in miracles and she prays that I will fall pregnant and it will help bring my fiance back. Now, Vee's family. I didn't let them in because they'd think I'm crazy, heck I already thought I was crazy. So this was literally between me and my fiance's doctor..Tia..In Vitro Fertilization is an assisted reproductive technology (ART) commonly referred to as IVF. It is the process of fertilization by extracting eggs, retrieving a sperm sample, and then manually combining an egg and sperm in a laboratory dish. The embryo(s) is then transferred to the uterus
I felt my throat grow dry... like God this couldn't be happening. I waited four fucken years for Valentia.. how long should I wait in order to finally have her as mine? For the rest of my life? My mind was racing and I honestly was telling myself that this was it. I was going to go home, pack my bags and move to the US or Australia.. anywhere but not here. I wouldn't be able to watch her and Zai again. I couldn't just sit here and watch the woman I love love someone else. It was going to rip me up and I'd probably lose my baby too... This was it. I wasn't going to be here anymore. I looked at her one last time and she smiled, "baby come here..." I turned around and didn't see Zai behind me. "Baby I'm talking to you.. come here.."I shook my head and took one step back away from her again... "Tia can you stop my fiance..." My heart skipped when she said that and I looked at her. She smiled, "come here Olwethu... can't I get a hug.." "You are not funny..." I said and she laug
I tried to close my eyes but it was just hard. Her words kept on playing in my head. I wondered if I should tell her I was pregnant. Was that going to add on or just make her happy? What if it added her stress and she beat herself up because she couldn't take care of me? I was so conflicted and time was running against me. My baby bum was starting to show.. I was surprised that it was taking time but it was starting to be visible but only when I was fully naked. I sighed.. "Baby..." I heard her voice and kept quiet. "Baby I know you're up.. please talk to me.." So after my bath I came straight to bed and by the looks of things Vee was still outside in the balcony. I fixed her place to sleep in and I climbed in bed. "Baby I'm sorry..." she said in almost a whisper and I removed the blanket that was on me and turned towards her. She was still sitting in her wheelchair... In honesty, I understood Vee's frustrations.. She was going through a lot and it was just getting to her that
I stood there listening to my heat beat as I watched the woman I love look at me confused. She shook her head still looking all confused, "Olwethu... are.... are you pregnant?" I swallowed nodding my head a bit, "y...yes.. I'm pregnant." She looked at me. The way I was feeling so emotional right now I was near being teary. I wanted her to say something or else I was going to lose my mind. "Umh... why?" I swallowed. This was where I was going to come out as this huge ass idiot I am. "Because I was losing my mind." "So being pregnant fideal?" "I don't..." I said and wiped the tears that were threatening to escape. I sat on the side if the bathtub and started playing with my fingers nervously."I... it's not easy to understand but I get why I did it." "Well.. I wanna get it like you too.. how far along are you even?" "Approaching three months. Okay.. so a lot of shit was happening... and when your mom supported Zai in switching off your machines I thought I was going to lose yo
I waited anxiously on my bed after that brief phone call with Vee's doctor.My fiance got back to our bedroom from the bathroom.. "What's going on?" "You still don't know?" She made a face and held her waist. "Fuuuuuck my waist is painful..." I laughed almost in tears, "you still don't get it..." She shook her head and I went to kiss her cheek and then kneeled in front of her, "baby..." "Yes..." I pinched her legs and she hit my shoulder, "baby ouch!!" I laughed again, this was just fucken amazing. She could feel.. She could fucken feel. "You are seriously fucking with me babe... why would you ask if I still don't get shit and then pinch me..?" I smiled at her. I was so darn happy. "That was fucken painful baby..." she said cutely and I ached my brow, "so baby I was pinching you where and it was what?" She looked at me and then suddenly her face changed.. when she realized why I was acting weird.. "Oh fuck!"I laughed.. "Oh fuck.. why didn't you say it. I feel so fucken
"What?" Vee asked looking at the guy confused.. "Zai got bail today so yeah.. I came to say that.." "How Matthew? How did she get bail?" Vee's mother asked seeming mad. "Wait.. mom calm down, I don't even understand why we are told this. Shouldn't you tell her family so they can celebrate..and leave us out of it, she ain't connected to us anymore." Fuck.. I didn't regret the fact that we hadn't told Vee about Zai being the one responsible for her accident, I just felt like shit because of how she was about to find out. "Umh Valentia... I'm telling you this because Zai is the cause of your accident.." My fiance furrowed her brows in confusion, "what do you mean...?" "She tampered with your breaks.. you couldn't stop your car and then another one collided with you.." Vee looked at us and our faces said it all. We didn't need to audibly admit that it was all true. "Why am I only finding out now?""Valentia...""Why am I finding out now? I need to know that.. I been out of the h
14 MONTHS LATER.....VALENTIA'S POV I made a weird face looking at the twins, Zhavia laughed and Kai cried.. I laughed, God this kid...I sighed and looked towards the door, "moooom..."'What?' My mom responded from her room as Kai's cry became louder and filled the room we were in."Kai is crying again.." I said.'stop scaring that child Valentia..'I laughed, "but Zhavi loves it.."'Valentia stop it...' she said walking in, "let me take him.."Then she took Kai from bed and talked to him, "is momma showing you those scary faces right after waking up baby?""Yesss..." my son said with a sad face and I got up from the bed and went to him and my mom, "babyyy your momma loves you okay.."He frowned and I kissed his beautiful eyes as Olwethu says."I'll go make food for them coz they are now awake. Olwethu's mother is on her way with Lizzie.." my mom said walking towards the door.I opened my eyes wider for Kai, "did you hear that babyyyy? Aunt Lizzie is on her way...""Lizzie...." Zhavi
OLWETHU'S POVI was woken up by a splash of water on my face..I opened my eyes and they met with the devil herself and then my mind started replaying what happened yesterday or earlier... fuck.. what day was it today? I couldn't even recall. My body was tired and I felt like I been sleeping forever. I suddenly turned to the man who was talking to me at the mall and he had this stupid look I couldn't put what it really meant. I looked at Zai remembering that she fucken used something to make me sleep, I touched my stomach "whatever you used to get me to sleep better not harm my babies.." She ached her brows before laughing, "your babies? Honey.... please." I ignored her and looked around where I was. I was sitting on a bed and my ankle was tied with a..... chain...? The bed was the only thing in here... I turned back to her, "Where am I?" "You don't have to worry about that. You're awake now, you need to eat." She said the last part passing a plate with bread and butter. Yark..
VALENTIA'S POVI drove to work looking forward to today's meeting at 10. Things weren't that easy but I was glad to be back but mostly glad to be alive. It took a lot of work to get myself back. I had totally lost me and I think finding out that Olwethu was pregnant brought me back. I mean when we first talked about it she didn't seem interested and she said she was a bit young.. which I fully agreed with and understood... but when she said she was pregnant I was taken off guard and later the happiest woman alive. Two kids aren't any child's play, so I needed to get my shit together so I can be with her and there for her too.The drive to work didn't take much. I got out of my car with my bag in my hand and limpered up to the ground floor to get the lift. It arrived in no time and I went up. I made myself tea and then went to my office. I smiled when I got a text from my fiance around 9 saying: ❤WIFE❤: Good morning beautiful woman of my dreams.. I'm finally at the mall, I know I
"I look like a fucken whale..." I groaned stuffing another spoon of ice cream in my mouth..."My hot fucken whale.." Vee said and I rolled my eyes and stuffed another spoon full of ice cream in my mouth.Vee took the bucket, "baby this is too cold.. don't get my children cold..."I rolled my eyes again, I think my hormones were messing with me, "are they the only thing you care about?" She laughed, "are you jealous of your own children woman?" I shrugged, "no.. it's just how you made it sound like." "Well, they are a me.. and you're mine. I can't live without the three of you guys..So stop letting your hormones take you all over the place.""I'm hungry.." I said dismissing what my fiance said and she got up and took the crutches she was now using to help her walk.It was like a miracle how fast my soon to be wife was recovering. But I wasn't surprised, she was determined and set to actually being okay before I could give birth. "I'll go make you food..." ..The following weeks we
