I stare at the screen in awe and astonishment. Hearing my unborn child's heartbeat for the first time is greater than scoring a new client or signing a new business contract. It's remarkable; life changing.
This heartbeat was the evidence. The evidence that Mia and I created this human being, and that he or she was being protected in the confines of this wonderful woman's womb.
I glanced at the monitor and was captivated all over again. I couldn't see my baby yet, but the monitor didn't lie. This brought tears to my eyes. I never cry, but I'm being a big softy and I'm crying like a big baby. There was a baby growing in Mia's womb, and this made me the ha

Mia BelleWe enter the supermarket with Ben and a few other bodyguards trailing behind us. I'd grown used to Ben's presence over the weekend, and I knew Liam trusted him a lot. Ben is a good man. He is married and has a 5 year old daughter. I've yet to meet them, but he showed me a picture of his wife and child, and they were very beautiful.Women in the supermarket gawk at Liam-as usual- and scowl at me, but I pretend not to notice. I'm not so happy that he's shopping for me. I do my shopping every Saturday but was unable to do it last weekend being at his house, and all. I would do it tomorrow morning, but knowing Liam, I can't argue and he'll never listen, so it's better to shut up.His word is law.

She'smine, and minealone, and it's about time she remembered this.When we get to the cashier, she's already paying for the tub of ice cream. However, everyone is watching her amused, but she seemed totally unaware of the obvious attention. I would've smiled if I wasn't so angry at her a while ago.She exits the building, not even bothering to spare me a glance. I nod to Ben, and he immediately follows after her.She's a little

Mia BelleI was hesitant at first to read the text message. What did he say? And what would I reply? Just maybe, my thoughts were fooling me, but what should I expect from a player? A womanizer? He's made a lifestyle off using women? Would he use me too? Yes, I love him, but he couldn't possibly love me back. I was a burden to my parents so they gave me up. Why would he think any different? My pregnancy was a burden to him. He would have to give up a lot for our baby, and it was all my fault.But it takes two people to make a baby and I wasn't entirely at fault here.After much arguing with myself, I finally decided to read the text, and opening the message icon, I stared at it.

Mia BelleThe next morning, the persistence of a hungry baby woke me up from an enjoyable sleep. Having no choice on the matter against this bossy unborn baby boy, I get out of bed to go freshen up. Coming out of the shower, I walked around lazily; so exhausted. Looking at the comfortable bed, I'm tempted to climb right back in, but I knew the baby needed to be fed so he could calm down.Bossing me around! He's a lot like his dad and he's not even born yet.Throwing on undergarments, a pair of sweatpants and a t-shirt that Iborrowedfrom Liam's closet-along with a few others that he won't get back- I wobble down the hall. I thank the heavens every day that this

Liam NovakHaving had a hectic week with our story in the media, and trying to kill it as much as possible, it's been extremely stressful. Not forgetting about having to run the company, and making sure that Mia is 100% safe atalltimes. I haven't seen much of her this week, and it's been eating me alive. I always feel like I've lost my sanity when I'm away from her, and recently, I realized the reason behind this.I love her.I've never loved any other woman but my mom and grandma, and this is all new to me. She's always on my mind, and I always want to hear her sweet voice. I was truly amazed by how quickly she bonds with people, especially my parents and friends. S

Mia BelleWaking up the morning after our date, I marvel at the warmth radiating off Liam's body as his arms are wrapped around me. He's still fast asleep and I take the time toactuallylook at him. He's extremely handsome, and I smile knowing we're having a little boy who's going to look exactly like him. I spend a few more minutes in bed before I decide to go take a bath.The water is warm and it helps calm down my nerves. I spend a long time in there to wash my hair and my body. Content and soothed under the warm water, I smile in satisfaction. I felt re-energized and relaxed; things I haven't felt in a long time due to this growing baby. It wasn't only the water that appealed the most, but the bathroom felt like a private massagi

Mia Belle-Two months later-It's been two months, and Liam's and I relationship was improving amazingly. School was drawing to a close with Christmas approaching, and with me being an English major, having covered many courses in one year, I was only left to do one major assignment. I was excited, and that's what I loved about my career choice. I loved the challenges.I would spend a lot of time at Liam's house on weekends, and would visit his parents whenever I was free. His mom and I were getting along a lot better than I'd anticipated. She was extremely excited to see the baby, as was everyone else, and I knew she couldn't wait to be a grandma. I think she already ordered everything a baby would ne

Liam NovakThe food is almost done being prepared when there's a knock on the door. Mia is about to get off the stool- which I've made sure she's used throughout the entire meal preparation- but I scowl at her. She pouts, which I find absolutely adorable, but upon noticing my stern stare, she sits back quietly. I knew I was being over protective, but I didn't want her or our baby getting hurt so I had to take precautions. This is why I did basically everything in the preparation of the meal as she guided me through the procedures. No amount of pouting or begging helped her, and she knew better than to say anything. This was for my peace of mind.As I left the kitchen, I prepared myself for my parent's scolding about letting her cook, especially my dad w

Mia Novak-8 years later-My eyes flutter open and I'm greeted by rays of sunlight shining into our bedroom from the glass windows. As I sit up carefully in bed, I take in what's supposed to be Liam's half of the bed. His side is cold, which means he must have left a while ago. I frown at the clock. It's 9:00 am on a Saturday.Liam didn't allow me to fall asleep until it was past midnight. He's still this amazing man I met all those years ago-eleven, to be exact. It always amazes me that we've known each other for that long. He still made me blush like a love-sick teenager, and his touch still made me shiver. He certainly knew what he was doing to me, and he loved it as much as he did al

Mia Novak-Two Years Later-I stare at the pregnancy test in disbelief. It told me all that I needed to know. Again, the signs were all there; nausea, vomiting, tender and fuller breasts, cravings and increased urination.Déjà vu?Actually, I'd known for a while, but I refused to believe that this was actually true. I thought that maybe if I waited a little while longer, it would all be a mere memory, and it would all go back to normal. Now however, there was no questioning the test.I was pregnant, and it would no longer be a 'mere' memory.It's been two long years. Not much occurred during those two years for the Nov

Mia NovakEver felt so invisible that you can conquer the world? Well, that's how I felt. Everything that occurred made me so certain that they were fortunate. ThatIwas fortunate. Along the lines of 'better than ever'. As the months went by, so did my relationship with my newly discovered family improve. They were a lovely bunch, and I learned to love them more and more every day. After living a life of sufferings, and all the scary things I'd been through, things were finally pleasant,for a change.I spent a lot of time with my family as Liam traveled on business trips, and the first time I saw the mansion, I cried. Everyone there was so lovely, and welcomed me home after almost 23 years. I met my parent's bodyguards
Loving Mia Chapter 34
Mia NovakMy family decided to stay over for the night and I was elated. I wish they could stay forever, but I knew that they had their business to go back to. I was married now, with a kid, so I needed to stay here.They spoke about their home, and I felt sad not being able to grow up there. I knew I would have a loving family just by how they were. My parents have been married for 26 years, and were still madly in love with each other. They met in college and my mom got pregnant with Wyatt. Mom was nineteen at the time, and dad, 20 years old. They got married months after finding out that mom was pregnant and have been together ever since. They then had the twins two years later, and I came a few years after the twins. From what they told me, I was an unplanne

Mia NovakThe first thing I recognized as I awoke from my slumber was the intense silence of my surroundings. It was almost impossible for the house to be so quiet with a one year old around, unless he was asleep. So, it led me to think that heisasleep. As I turned to look at the clock, I realized that it was time for dinner, and our weekly barbecue. 'I'd slept that long?' I wondered.Getting up from the bed, I went into the bathroom to take a shower. After my shower, I stepped into the walk-in closet and picked out a pair of thick black leggings and a silver colored Mickey Mouse sweatshirt that went mid-thigh. As I dressed, I couldn't help but smile even through my earlier experience. I knew that I needed to be strong, and that's just what

Liam NovakMia surely handled herself tremendously well throughout the 'interrogation' with Neil, but when she broke down, it pained my heart seeing her like this. I wrapped my arms tighter around her, never wanting to let her go. I wanted to keep her in my arms, where she'd be safe for eternity, but I knew I couldn't.As we drove away from the headquarters, she sat on my lap, her face buried in my chest and my hands surrounding her protectively. I placed tiny kisses on the top of her head, and whispered words of love to her as she continued to cry.I could only imagine what was going through her mind. Her parents were alive. She could meet them after 23 years of her life, and she surely deserved to. She deserv

Liam NovakListening to Mia and Neil's conversation, I couldn't help but want to be in there with her now, holding her in my arms as she speaks to the man who took her away from her parents. Finding out all this information about her life must be difficult or at least challenging, but she didn't even cry. She was angry, I could tell, but I knew she wanted him to see how tough she is. She's one strong woman- my wife.I'd seen such a huge improvement since her therapy sessions and I was happy that she's at least getting back to being normal. Shedeservesnormal. Her life had always been filled with things that she had no idea of their existence. Now that she had a chance to redeem herself, I was happy for her. She needed joy and happiness. She n

Mia Novak-Two months later-To say that everything went superb during these two months, would be a huge lie, and frankly, I loved being honest. They were probably the most crucial months of my life-to say the least.I thought when we'd caught Neil, it would be easy to find out the truth about my past. However, things don't necessarily turn out as we plan- does it? That's always how life is. You think you're at the end of it all, and that you'll move on from whatever it is that you've been faced with. However, life throws a curve at you, and you realize that you're back where you started. That's exactly how I felt.Neil refused to speak

Mia NovakLiam has been sulking ever since our little exchange of words in the bedroom. Okay, maybe the exchange of words no matter how brief of a conversation it was, wasn't aslittleas it seemed at the time. And I probably overreacted too.What? I'm a girl.Girls overreact all the time. And it wasn't entirely true that I didn't want more kids. Truth is I did want a few more miniature Liams running around the house and creating havoc.Spending time with Logan, and seeing him grow, made me so proud at being a mom. It's like no matter how much pain I went through to give birth to him, seeing my little boy so energetic and adorable, made it worth every single pain. However, I was
