I felt cold so I tried to move to my side searching for some warmth but when my hand caresses my side it was already emptied. Isaac is nowhere to be seen I rubbed my eyes and open them slowly. Oh god, I slept more than Isaac slept, he should be the one resting not me. I checked my phone for the time and it was 6 p.m. already. Great I slept 4 hours straight and to think I’m not even that tired. I scooted down to my bed and freshen up in the bathroom before I went down into the living room. I went down and saw no one in the living room. I think everyone is busy preparing for dinner then. I walked straight to the kitchen where I hear the voices of my family. I opened the door and my mom, aunt, and Alice are the only ones present, who is cooking. I scan the room for the boys but I couldn’t see them. “There you are, you sleep well honey? my mom said when she noticed me. “Hmm, I fall asleep which I didn’t realize. Where’s everyone? I said with my eyes still wondering where’s my man. "Are
We all gathered in our backyard for our barbeque party. For us ladies, we finished our cooking inside and prepared all the stuff for grilling and now it’s gents turn to grill everything we prepared. I’m so happy to see Isaac enjoying himself with my family. My cousins did not even hesitate to welcome Isaac to our family with open arms. Now his standing on the grilling side helping my cousins to grill barbeque and laughing at their nonsense conversation. They cornered my youngest cousin Sam and teased him to no end. My eyes are fixed on them happily watching when suddenly my phone ring. I checked it and saw Avery’s name for a face time. I hit the answer button. “Hi A, how are you? I greeted her. “Boo, Merry Christmas I called in advance so I could greet all of you there maybe later I couldn't make any calls”. she explained. “Merry Christmas A, we're just starting to prepare for our family dinner, your brother is grilling with my cousins. Wait I will go there so you could greet him a
My smile plastered all over my face from the sight of my loved ones gathered once again here feasting to our heart's content. We're still in the backyard enjoying our family party and we will welcome Noche Buena together. It’s just priceless, I’m not going to trade my family for anything in this world no matter what. I’m so lucky to have them, we're not a perfect family as well but we have each other's back no matter what happens. Even though we're miles apart and we couldn't see each other very often we know if someone needs our help there's no hesitation at all and they will be there. “Dinner’s over it’s game time”. Alice announced eagerly at the table and everyone gets excited. “Woooh, this is what I’ve been waiting for. I will gonna win this year”. Sam screamed excitedly, last year he was the only loser for all the games we played. He’s sulking through the night and called us a cheater coz he couldn't win in any games and we just teased him throughout the night, being the younges
“Can you think of different consequences? The water is too cold you know”. I said pouting at them. By the way, I’m still tipsy guys yes, thanks to my very good cousins. “It’s a big NO Bee, a consequence is a consequence so now the three of you jump into the pool no negotiation”. Dallin said, I looked up at Isaac and pouted, and made a pity face at him. I made a signal to Alice and did our bright idea. “Love, it’s cold out there do you want me to catch a cold? I said pithily and hugged him, Alice did the same to Ian and we walked into the poolside little by little while we were in our partner's embrace. Taking our partner’s sympathy as we walked and distracting them. “Sorry, princess I can’t do anything about that. You lose and I win”. Isaac happily teased me. Sam jumped already at the pool with a matching scream due to the coldness of the water. “Guys, come on jump in now. It’s not cold here, yeah maybe but it’s manageable I think.ha.ha.ha”. Sam encouraged Alice and me, I signal to
“Princess, I have a surprise for you”. Isaac whispered to my ears while we were still having fun, singing along with my family. “Hmm, what is it? I looked up at him waiting for his answer. "Guys, let's start the countdown". Sam cheered to all of us, but my attention is on Isaac still waiting for his answer. "Patient, princess let's do the countdown and look at the sky". Isaac whispered again with his signature smirk. We start our final countdown, with the happiness and joy where visible to one another. "10...09...08...07...06...05...04...03...02...01". After we finished our countdown I looked at the sky and different colors burst and shine beautifully. "Wow, amazing it's beautiful". I uttered happily with my eyes still fixed on the fireworks in the sky. "Yes, it is beautiful much more beautiful". Isaac said but when I looked at him he is not looking at the sky instead, he is staring at me with full of love. "Is this your surprise love? How did you do that? "Hmm, I made an arra
Isaac POV "Son, we're so glad you could celebrate this Christmas with us". Bettany's dad said politely while we were still drinking in their living room. We continue the celebration with the guys. Sam and the ladies already returned to their respective rooms and retired for the night. "I'm thankful Dad that you allow me to celebrate it with your family and to know everyone here. I'm grateful for everyone's warm welcome and treated me as one of your family already." I said respectfully to Bettany's dad which I call Dad already coz he wanted me to call him when he gave me his approval to be with Bettany before. "It's our honor, Isaac, that you wanted to celebrate it with us. We hope you enjoy your time here with our small family and our little tradition". Uncle Dan said. "I'll be honest uncle, it's my first time celebrating this kind of occasion and I really enjoy it. Way back home we're always hosting a party for everyone around our circle that we didn't have intimate time with just
Bettany POV “I can’t still believe we’re going to Paris it is like I'm just dreaming”. I uttered still in shock when Isaac said that he have another surprise for me. We're in my bedroom at my parent's place. “You're not dreaming so believe it now princess, tonight we’re flying there. Ryle and Hannah are waiting for us”. Isaac said softly with his eyes full of affection. "Oh my god, this is the best Christmas I've ever had. I'm so excited to see both of them. I'm happy for Ryle and Hannah they're engaged now I can't wait to congratulate them in person. They deserve each other. Wait, I still need to pack my things if our flight is tonight. I need to prepare a gift for Hannah and Ryle as well. Why you didn't tell me sooner now I don't have time anymore". I said pouting only 5 hours remaining before we left for Paris and we were still in my parent's home. "Relax princess, I already arrange everything you needed. I asked Tamara's help to pack your things at your place and she agreed. If
"Princess, you good? I'm in deep thought looking outside of the plane when I heard Isaac's voice. "What is it? Are you asking something? I looked at him and cleared my thoughts. "I said are you okay? You were so quiet from the moment we left home. What were you thinking princess? he said holding my hands, we're currently on his private plane and on our way to Paris. "Oh, nothing. Don't mind me, how long before we land in Paris? I avoided Isaac's question and instead, I asked him another question. "Don't avoid it, princess, are you thinking about Mom and Dad? You can tell me everything you know. Honesty right? I thought I could escape from him but yeah who can I fool? He can read me easily every time that something was off. "Fine, hmm I just thought that it is my first time not to be with them in New Year I just couldn't avoid thinking about it you know I am their only child and we just used to be together every time. Sorry, I should be happy coz it's finally our vacation but here
Bettany POV It’s been four years since our lives changed completely. After I wake up in a coma, I focus on my rehabilitation to recover my strength easily. Isaac has been on my side every step of it. He didn’t leave me no matter how I assured him that I was already okay and I had fully recovered after two months of my rehabilitation. I come back home where my little bundles and our whole family waiting for me. They gave me a warm welcome once again. Tamara and Bryan are now married and have a 2-year-old daughter Amelie. Ryle and Hannah also have a 1 one-year-old daughter Ria and a 3-year-old son Matt. Avery and Dallin are now engaged and they will get married next year. Alice and Ian have another 3-year-old son Xander and Baby Zoe is 12 years old now. My family and friends are getting bigger and bigger now. We’re happy that everyone is happy with their own life. Everything is falling into its place and no one is behind. “Momma”. Aki ran towards me crying. “Hey, what’s wrong little
“Why are you crying like a baby, love? I suddenly heard a familiar and hoarse voice when I looked up at my wife. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. My wife stared at me with pain on her face. She's trying to lift her hands but I can see how she's struggling. I woke up from my stupor and rang the bell to call the nurse and doctor. "How are you feeling, princess? Do you need anything? I asked and wiped my tears discreetly. I couldn't describe how I'm feeling right now. It's kind of overwhelming that finally, my wife came back to us. "Water, love". she uttered dryly and I got up for water and assisted her in drinking. I shifted our sleeping twins to their crib beside my wife's bed and Dr. Pierce arrived with his assistant in no time. "Mrs. Jones, finally you awake. How are you feeling at the moment? Dr. Pierce said to check up on my wife thoroughly while I'm standing and watching from the side. I couldn't even blink my eyes because I was afraid that if I closed my eyes and opened th
It’s been six months since my wife gave birth to our little bundles and it’s been six months that my wife is not on our side. She’s still in a coma at the hospital but she’s not in the ICU anymore we shifted her to the VIP room already. She can breathe now on her own without the machine’s help. Dr. Pierce said that all her vitals are getting good and all we can do now is to wait for her to wake up on her own. It’s been six months since my life changed totally I fight the battle where I’m not sure I could win. I can’t give up without a fight that's all I can tell myself. I handed the full authority to all my business temporarily to my sister. I needed to focus on my family, I couldn’t leave my wife’s side and our little bundles needed me. I need to be stronger for them. I will make sure that the time will come when my family will be complete and happy once again. Aki and Amell are very active now. They can crawl and start to babble some baby words. My family lives with me temporarily
Isaac POV The moment I heard the cry of our baby I couldn't explain how happy I felt inside. This is the moment my wife and I've been waiting for the few past months. Our little bundles can finally see the world. I’m so delighted to see both of them and hold them in my hands. But the happiness I’m feeling right now didn’t last long. I can feel something weird is happening to my wife from the way she’s talking to me. “Love, get our little bundles, make sure you will take care of both of them. Love them the way you love me. I’m tired now I think I need a rest. I love you always and forever, remember that”. my wife said and I realized her eyes were shutting slowly I panicked when I heard the unstable sound of the machine. I handed the twins to the nurse without care for anything else but my wife. “Princess, hey, Dr. what’s happening? I said trying to talk to my wife but she was not responding. The delivery room now is in chaos and I don’t know what’s exactly happening to my wife. “Mr.
“Ah, Ah”. We’re on our way to the hospital and I’m trying to endure the pain and hide it from Isaac but I can't, when the contractions hit me I can’t help but just scream in pain. I know Isaac must be worried right now but I can't help it. “Princess, inhale, exhale we’re near in the hospital now. Everything will be alright. I’m sorry I made you feel this way, we’re not going to have kids anymore after this just hold on, okay we’re near, we’re near now”. Isaac said, but in every word, he said now I don’t care about it anymore at this moment. All I care about now is the pain to go away I’m feeling and seeing my little bundles. Finally, we arrived at the hospital and Dr. Pierce was already on standby. They pushed me into the delivery room and I’m scared now. I hold tight to Isaac’s hand, I need him inside the room to be my strength. “Don’t worry, princess. I’m not going anywhere I will be with your side to welcome our little bundles. Don’t be scared I’m only here and any minute now we
It’s been a while since we knew we were having twins. From the day we revealed the gender of our little bundles our family didn’t stop giving us a gift for the twins. Isaac decided that we needed to shift to a bigger place since we were now having a kid. He bought a house near to my parent’s place and we already shifted thereafter a month after our gender reveal. We started decorating the rooms of the twins and being prepared for their birth. Yeah, finally anytime soon in this coming week, we can already meet our little bundles. Isaac decided to work from home again he doesn’t want to leave by my side especially anytime now I could give birth to our little bundles. “Good morning, princess”. he greeted me when I opened my eyes from sleeping. He has already freshened up and just waiting for me to wake up to have our breakfast and do our morning routine. “Hmm, good morning hubby”. I groaned greeting him. I couldn't move properly now because of how big my tummy is. I always need Isaac’s
“Love, are you excited? I asked Isaac coz today we’re going to my monthly check-up and we will find out the gender of our little bundles. “I am, princess. I couldn't wait to know it. Do you have gender preferences in your mind? He asked. “None exactly, all I wanted is for them to be healthy. I don’t even care if they’re both male or female coz I will love them both no matter what”. I said lovingly. “Hmm, me too, princess. All I wanted is for all of you to be healthy. That’s all that I've been praying for”. he said and he walked towards me and kissed me on my temples and he kneeled to kiss my big baby bump. “By the way love, we still need to wait till evening before we know the gender. Our families are throwing a party and they want it to be a surprise to all of us so we can’t directly ask Dr. Pierce to say it to us”. I said reminding him. Avery planned a gender reveal for our twins this evening so we have a family gathering once again. “Yes, princess. For the hundredth time, Mom a
Bettany POV It's been a month since Dr. Pierce advised me to have full bed rest for the stability of our little bundles. To make sure they become healthy I follow Dr. Pierce's advice. Every day of the past month I've only left our bed when I'm going to use the bathroom but with the help of my husband. He didn't make me walk and he was afraid that I was going to bleed again. I understand his worry so I didn't argue with him. It feels like we're both in House Arrest but mostly bed arrest. In this past month, he didn't go to the company as well. He instructed Jeff that if it was only an urgent matter that needed his attention, that was the only time he could report to him. He didn't leave on my side 24/7 so our life in the past month only revolved around our bed. He made sure I didn't get bored as hell, he entertained me as much as possible. He always talked to our little bundle and that made him more adorable. He's going to be the best father to our twins that I'm really sure of. "Lov
Isaac POV “Dr. Pierce, how’s my wife and my twins? I ran anxiously when I saw the door of the emergency room open and Dr. Pierce came out. I can hear my heart thumping loudly. Am I ready to hear what he will say? What if. No, don't think like that Isaac. My princess and our little bundles are stronger than I know. Nothing gonna happen to both of them." I said to myself. I'd never been scared of my life before but when I saw my wife had blood in her hands I felt someone tagging me once again in the dark. I repeated telling her that everything would be fine but the truth is I'm not actually sure of my words either. I need to be stronger for both of us. It's not the time for me to give in to the darkness. I have a wife who needed me to be her strength. No matter what happens I need to be stronger for both of us. "Mr. Jones, I'll be honest with you. It makes us have a hard time stopping the bleeding but we are lucky that you arrived on time. Mrs. Jones and your child are both safe and o
