NICOLE'S POV "I have never been more humiliated in my entire life, did you see how he spoke to me in front of everyone. I made a mistake, I shouldn't have agreed to tell him, I should have just kept it to myself like I wanted to instead of allowing him to embarrass me like that." I pointed out as I stormed into my bedroom when we got back from the case."Just take it easy, he is going through a lot and he needs time to get over everything." Betty pointed out and it's so upsetting that no matter the situation, she's always on his side, I was embarrassed today in front of her and every other person that cared to watch and she's still suggesting that it's somehow my fault."Two weeks, I gave him space for two weeks and I waited till the sentence was over and you are suggesting that it's not enough time for him to get over everything?" I asked angrily as I paced around the room. "What the hell is he angry about? I am the one that should be offended, Logan almost ruined my life yet he pra
ASHER'S POV I have been playing with an idea in my head ever since Logan was taken away but I don't know what Aaron will think about it, although I think it's a really good idea because the goal here is for Logan not to feel too alone in prison while he is there."I have been thinking of something." I pointed out as soon as I returned to the living room with a bottle of bourbon and two glasses for Aaron and I. To be honest, sometimes I don't even know who's best friend Aaron is anymore, I mean he is originally my best friend but he is very close to Logan as well and I can see that Logan's absence is affecting him just as much... Usually Aaron will be so chatty about games, girls or drinks but he has been quiet all day and he been crashing in Logan's room since he was arrested."What is it?" He asked as I poured us a drink before sitting on the couch in front of him."What do you think about me transferring to male prison?" I asked curiously because if I do that, then I can ask him to
ASHER'S POV Well I guess if she's coming in here with so much audacity, then whatever she has to say must be important and I want to hear it."Alright fine, you want to talk? Sit down let's talk." I am curious about what she wants to talk about but I am also serious about not wanting to have any business with her, she hurt me in an unexpected way and I really don't want it to happen again. Yes I love her but I am definitely not a fool, she has fooled me once and that's all she can ever do.I sat down and I poured myself another drink while waiting for her to say whatever it is she's here to say but it's obvious she doesn't really know where to start. I mean she came all the way here to talk, shouldn't she have planned her so called speech? "I'm sorry Asher, very sorry." That's actually a good place to start but she needs to be more specific."The last time we saw at the courthouse, you made it really clear that you are not satisfied with the sentence and that he deserves more, so for
ASHER'S POV I shut the door back and we returned back to the living room couch because I know she's not just here today to explain and apologize, there is a reason for her actions and I have a feeling that I will be needing a drink. "Talk to me Nicole, what's the real reason you are here?" I poured myself another drink and I took a sip."I'm... Ummm, I'm.. I'm pregnant.""Oh shit." I cursed immediately I heard it, I mean I knew she had a real reason to be here today but pregnancy wasn't really on my mind and I am fucking surprised and speechless at the same time. I chugged down my drink till I emptied the bottle and I got up to grab a new bottle of whiskey while she sat down staring at me and probably waiting for me to say something. I want to say something but my mind keeps coming up blank."Please say something." She pointed out and I poured myself another drink while thinking of the best thing to say. I mean I am excited that she's pregnant for me, I am happy that I am having a ba
NICOLE'S POV Talking with Asher today was really difficult and I don't blame him, I acted so irrationally and it's understandable that he thinks that I have a problem and maybe I do. I mean it's okay to want to have my revenge, I was deeply hurt and I can't just let it go but I handled the situation poorly. I mean I considered his feelings but I didn't show it because I felt like it's necessary to show just how much it bothered me since I was still going to kill him regardless which made me come off as heartless, so I understand why he is upset and he thinks I need help.I made my way to my bathroom as soon as I got back home to shower and while I was doing that, all I could think of is everything that happened at Asher's house, he didn't even want me to sit or talk to him. He was really upset with me and even when I told him about the baby and he was quiet for way too long, I thought he was going to say that he is not interested or something but I am glad that wasn't the case becaus
ASHER’S POVI sat down in the visiting room of the men’s prison with Aaron beside me and everything reminds me of when I usually come to visit Nicole. I mean I know this is the men’s prison but everything feels and looks the same, the arrangement of the visiting hall is exactly like the female prison and the search procedure is the same… after Nicole left prison, I never imagined that I will have a reason to be here again to visit anyone especially my brother, it feels like a fucking nightmare.“Relax man, you look so anxious.” Aaron pointed out but I have every right to be anxious considering everything that has been happening lately.“You are too relaxed, its almost like you have forgotten where you are.” He reclined on the chair, his hands are folded across his chest and his legs are all stretched out like he is in his living room or something, while I am fucking nervous… I just want to see logan and make sure that he is fine, I usually don’t worry about him like this but this is p
ASHER'S POV Aaron is right, there is no need spending the little time we have here arguing when we can talk about more important things besides I already know that he doesn't mind me having a baby with Nicole or even getting back with her, which means I am the one with the problem and I was just hoping that he has a problem with it too... I can't look past the way she discarded my feelings and ignored my suggestion, I hate that she didn't consider me in her decision and I hate that her revenge plan was more important than what we shared, so her actions put me in a bad position and I don't know how I will move forward from here."It's fine, let's just forget about it. I have been thinking lately." It's better I change the topic because I don't think we can all agree on the same thing and I don't want to waste the day arguing. They are okay with me forgiving Nicole and moving on with the relationship but it's difficult for me to do, I haven't even had time to process the situation. "Wh
NICOLE’S POVI can’t get over the fact that I ruined a perfectly good relationship with the best guy ever because I was too upset to convey my feelings properly, it hurts that I made just one mistake and Asher is not willing to get over it. I mean I know it wasn’t a flimsy mistake but he should have at least given me a second chance.I was so hopeful after my chat with him three days ago and I thought he was going to at least try to make things work out with us but I guess I was wrong… whatever he is thinking of, isn’t three days more than enough time for him to make up his mind and reach out? It's pretty obvious that he already made up his mind not to have anything to do with me or the baby, he probably gave me hope like I still had a chance because he wanted me to leave.“That’s not a good look.” Betty pointed out as soon as she joined me in the living room, the television is turned on but God knows I am not paying attention to it.“What’s not a good look?” I asked curiously.“You d
NICOLE'S POV Yesterday was so perfect, knowing the gender of my two babies and getting engaged all in one night is just so amazing, he made me really happy which is why I am sitting here with him in the visiting area of the prison to see Logan... I mean I already had a plan to come here and see Logan, I just didn't think it will be this early.I am nervous and honestly, I feel uncomfortable because this moment reminds me of my time in prison and how Asher used to visit me. I am going to be a part of his family soon and the most appropriate thing is to make peace with Logan because I have made peace with what happened to me six years ago and I have forgiven Logan, so I think it's only fair for me to let him know."Are you sure you really want to be here because I can understand if you need to go, I don't want you to be uncomfortable by seeing him again." Asher pointed out but I am fine."I want to be here, I am no longer mad at him and I want him to know, besides we are going to be fa
NICOLE'S POV When the went on and on about my gender reveal party, this was definitely not what I pictured in mind. The set up is elegant and it looks nothing like a gender reveal, it's more like a dinner party or something and they invited a lot of people, I thought it was just going to be a few friends but it's fine. "Wow ladies, this was unexpected but mind blowing, I love it." I said excitedly."Well we were hoping to blow your mind." Shelly said just as I noticed Asher walking towards me. He is wearing the same color of suit as I am and he looks so handsome and happy but all I can think about is when I will be able to get him out of this party and have him to myself, he is looking so yummy and I can't resist."Hi baby." I said as he got close and I gave him a hug and then a kiss."Wow, you look... You look so beautiful." He complimented as I smiled at him. "I can't wait to get you out of that dress." He whispered the last part in my ears and I blushed, I guess we are both thinki
NICOLE'S POV Shelly and Ruth has been here since we went shopping two days ago and it's obvious that they are going to the party from here. It's not like I mind having them around, it's just that they have all been acting weird. They are all over the place, making plans like it's my wedding and not gender reveal, so I am honestly tired of everything and all I want right now is for it to be time for the party, so that everything can return back to normal.As soon as I returned to my room after having breakfast with them, I heard my phone ringing and I wondered how long it has been ringing for since I didn't take my phone with me. I went to my bedstand to get my phone and see the caller ID and I smiled when I noticed that it's Asher."Hi baby, how are you doing?" I haven't seen him for a few days now but I am seeing him tonight and I am really happy about it, that's what I am actually looking forward to tonight. The girls are already making everything weird, so at this point, I just wa
ASHER'S POV I can't believe that it's actually happening, tomorrow is Friday and I am actually going to propose to Nicole. I mean I am mentally ready but now that it has become so close, it's now a reality and it feels like a dream. I remember when I met her in prison, I had just lost my wife and I was a mess. I even felt so horrible for admiring her when I just lost my wife but I thought it was infatuation and the relationship wouldn't last especially because she was in prison and I am her therapist but look at us now. She's pregnant for me and I am about to take things to the next level and it's exciting and weird at the same time but it's the right time, so I am doing it. "Are you ready?" I was carried away in my thoughts as I stood in front of the mirror and I completely forgot that I came in to dress up so that Aaron and I can go ring shopping."Yeah, I am ready." I said as I brushed my hair, grabbed my phone and keys before leaving my room.Betty called earlier today to inform
NICOLE'S POV I decided to take a break from work today to have a rest, I have been doing this often lately ever since my stomach became big, I don't want to overwork myself or stress the baby, so I am staying home today. I reluctantly got out of bed and I showered quickly before looking for something simple to wear but before I could decide on what to wear, Shelly and Ruth stepped into my room."I didn't know that you guys were here?" I pointed out. I mean I know that they have been coming here often lately because of the gender reveal party that they are planning with Betty but I didn't know that they are here this morning."Yeah, we just came in." Ruth pointed out while smiling and I can tell that there is more to this visit. "We are going out for shopping." She pointed out but that's not my plan for today, I stayed home to rest and not to go for shopping, besides I have everything I need here."No ladies, I am home to rest and not to go out." I pointed out as I picked an oversized
ASHER'S POV It's the weekend and Aaron and I are anxiously waiting in visiting area of the prison as usual to see Logan. I am worried about which bruise he will show up with or how battered he will look today when he shows up. It's obvious that something is happening in there, someone is bullying him or maybe people are ganging up against him and he just doesn't want to tell us and I know it but I guess he has his reasons, there is obviously nothing much I can do to help him from out here."You know all the injuries and bruises that Logan has been showing up with was inflicted on him by someone or a group of people right? It wasn't an accident in the bathroom or cell like he usually said, we both know that Logan is not clumsy." Aaron pointed out and I am surprised that he is thinking about it as well... I guess we have both had it in mind for a long time but we didn't really want to discuss it because how exactly are we going to help him."I know Aaron, someone or people are hurting
ASHER'S POV I have never been more excited than right now in the hospital room with Nicole, the doctor is watching the monitor and I can see a weird strange movement on the monitor but I can't make out the image but knowing that the steady heartbeat we are hearing and the image on the monitor belongs to my daughter or son is the most fulfilling thing ever and it's so fucking exciting. I looked at Nicole and she is spotting a huge smile that is similar to mine, I am so excited."Oh wow, this is interesting." The doctor said and I wonder what she saw."What's wrong doctor?" I asked curiously."Nothing, it's actually good news. You are having..." "No doctor, don't tell us. Just print out the ultrasound and put it in an envelope, we don't want to know anything about the baby as long as the baby is okay." I interrupted her when I realized that she was about to tell us the gender and ruin the surprise, besides I already promised Betty and I don't want to disappoint her although I am fucki
ASHER'S POV I decided to skip work today since I am going to the hospital later today with Nicole and since I will be home most of the day, I asked Aaron to come over. He works from home, so he is always at home except he decides to go out and have fun. "It's a good thing you asked me over because I just rounded up with all my pending work and I am basically free from now till next week but why are you home though?" He asked as soon as I returned to the living room with a bottle of whiskey and glass for us."Nicole and I are going to the hospital later today for her routine check ups and if I go to work, I won't be back on time to follow her to the hospital and I already promised that I will be there." I can't afford to disappoint her. I mean I have followed her to the hospital once for check up but she mostly goes alone or with Betty, not because I don't want to go but because of work."Oh I see, that's good. Maybe you guys can finally find out the gender of the baby." He pointed o
NICOLE'S POV I still don't regret that I made Logan pay for what he did to me, I just regret the way I went about it and the way it made Asher feel. I mean me of all people know exactly how prison life is, I was there for like nine months and it almost ruined my life, I even almost lost my life. I did some really shitty things to stay alive, it was really unfair for me to have said three whole years was not enough when there is a possibility that he might not even be alive by then or he might be a totally different Logan when he is out... I mean the only thing that kept me going for months was the fact that I had Logan, seeing him every Thursday and Saturday made a huge difference but all he has is on Saturday and I know it's not enough because seeing Asher twice back then wasn't enough either."You like this?" He asked as he played a movie but God knows that I wasn't paying attention, I don't even know the title or what it's about. I just really feel bad for what I put him through,
