I bury my hands on Farrow’s soft hair—longer than usual at the moment—and I shift my hips lower, just to feel him a little bit. I promise, I’ll stop this before it turns into something else. I promise. Farrow makes a low growl when he feels what I’m doing, he takes two steps until my back is again
"Stop moving," Rocky growls at some point during the night and elbows me in the ribs, “Seriously.” I try, but I can't stop. I just can’t shut my brain off, I keep thinking about how much trouble I’d be in if I just said fuck it and went into Sky’s room right now. I think Bobbie and Rocky would tot
After lunch with Nico, I drive to the main building to have a meeting with Alpha Frank and discuss money. The money I'm owed for being the biggest dumbass to ever live. Alpha Frank is a very straightforward and serious man so we get to the point in two minutes and when I look at the check he e
{ Sky } Now that the initial shock about my pregnancy has gone away a bit, I come back to my doctor’s office so she can run some tests on me just to make sure everything is going alright with Baby Number Two. It takes a lot of needles going into my body and almost two hours of waiting, but I don’t
“Skylar Aleksei? Your tests are ready,” the nurse announces, so me and my sister get up from the waiting couch and walk into Natalia’s office again, “Doctor Terry will be back in a minute. You can go ahead and lay down.” “Oh… do I have to? I just had an ultrasound a couple days ago,” I say, but I
The truth is staring me straight in the eyes, right there in the monitor, but I keep denying it to myself for another ten minutes. I mean, one baby was doable… but, two? I'm going to lose my fucking mind. Not to mention, little Alex is most likely going to be around too, since Hope didn't say no. S
So, I eat for three this time and I love every second of it. After we're done eating, Hope helps me find the two outfits I need. And they’re both very important to me because I’m sure they’re going to be the last cute clothes I’ll be able to wear before my body starts to change for real. Seriou
"Hi, mom, Auntie Hope," Bobbie murmurs when she gets to us, but she only looks at Henry, "Did you choose something already?" "Yeah, I think I'll go with this," Henry lifts the stuff to show her. Bobbie tries to look interested and not panicked but it's not working, "I'll go pay, I'll be back in a
And sometimes, I... I remember the way he kissed me that day. In my grandparents' basement. It was short but really good and after that, I've kissed two other boys. It didn't feel as good. "Ah! Holy fuck!" Henry exclaims when he opens his bedroom door and we see his friend Sam in Henry’s bed. The g
******* THREE YEARS AGO ******* { Bobbie, 16 years old } If my parents knew what I'm doing right now, they would make a huge deal out of it, just like the last time I did something like this. Sneaking out or lying about my whereabouts. My dad would go all crazy, yelling at me like a feral bea
I laugh, that sounds more like him. So different to me, even to this day. “Because who needs love, right?” I smirk at him. Henry shrugs. “What even is love and why do people think a spouse the only source of it?” He asks. Of course, always with his mental gymnastics, “You give me love. My parent
"I'm going to cook something, come help me," Henry says as he comes back, making me look up from my phone. I nod and get up to follow him to the kitchen, "I'm feeling pasta, you want some?” "Yes, something cheesy," I say, opening the fridge to start taking stuff out. Henry is the chef in this hous
"Alright, alright, sorry," Garrett lifts his hands in rendition, "I just was certain you guys were a thing because of something Harrison said... Anyway, I guess we can sleep together, bro, like when we were kids. Does Bobbie know that? We shared a room our whole lives and then we shared a bed for a
"Oh, Bob, I really miss having you home," he sighs, tightening his hold on me, "But I guess I had to let go of you. Even if I didn’t want to.” "Yeah, but we live ten minutes away from each other and I see you almost every day, so I don't think this is really like... a big deal," I murmur, but he's
“Okay, okay, we should sit down again before the pizza gets even colder,” my mom murmurs, so we all return to the table, but my dad can’t stop smiling and being all over her, kissing her hand and looking at her like she’s his whole world, completely forgetting about the pizza. And us. “I love you
"We love you, Mom," Vinny repeats. She bends down to hug them and kiss their heads, then she stands up again and I get up to hug her. My mom stopped growing at five foot three, so I stand four inches above her. "Are you going to get all jealous again?" She asks with an amused smile. I scoff. "
{ Bobbie } Everyday I wake up knowing I'm a lucky girl. Very few people have what I have. Such good friends, such a good job, such a good family... I am grateful, even if sometimes I act like I hate the world. I really don't. I'm just not good at dealing with frustration. Like, at all. And even
