Henry.I didn’t want her to talk with Emily or get close to her for any reason but knowing Gwen with her kind heart and how stubborn she is I knew I couldn’t convince her not to.Jason and I stayed inside the car in silence. All my attention was on Gwen who was speaking with Emily outside, I wouldn’t hesitate to act rashly if she did anything to Gwen.“Is it true?” Jason’s voice pulled me out of my head.I looked at him through the rearview mirror, “that?”“Is what that lady said true—the one that claims she’s not my mother?” He asked and I didn't need a soothsayer to tell me he was talking about Emily.“What did she say?” But before he could answer I cut in.“And she is your mother, your biological mother. The one who gave birth to…”“I know what it means,” he cut in.Why wouldn’t he, he was too smart for his age.“Right, so what did your mother say?” I asked, causing him to pout his lips. I think he didn’t like that I called Emily his mother, but that’s the truth and nothing is goin
Henry.That night we had dinner but Gwen still wasn’t herself, she was either lost in her thoughts or wasn’t eating at all.I tried to ask her what was wrong every time but she didn't give me a better answer.It was past nine and I had to put the children to sleep since she couldn’t do it.“Good night Daddy,” Jason and Jasmine said simultaneously.I smiled and placed a peck on their foreheads, “good night babies,” I whispered, adjusting the sheets on their bodies before getting up.They both decided to sleep in one room since they have been doing that for a long time now and I had no qualms with that.I turned off the light and walked out while closing the door gently behind me. I looked down at the hallway and saw no one before making my way to the room—to Gwen’s old room.I’d expected her to have taken her bath and laid on the bed by now, but that wasn’t what I expected. Gwen was still in the dress she wore to court and hadn't taken her shower at all.I stopped walking and looked at
Gwen.Henry kept to his promise, the very next day after I told him about the kids (Emily's sister and her baby) he went ahead to started looking for them.The search didn’t go for long and in about two days he found them while they were trying to leave the country.How she wanted to take a baby out of the country still bothers me.At first, Emily’s sister, whose name I later found out to be Riley, didn’t want to go anywhere with Henry’s men. But after they persuaded her and told her Emily sent them, she begrudgingly followed them.At first glance, I already knew that Riley wasn’t Emily’s biological sister but I didn’t comment on that, she walked into the house holding the baby tightly to herself while looking around suspiciously.I couldn’t help but wonder what Ian must have done to her to make her this security-conscious.“Hi Riley, I’m Gwen…”She stared at me with wide eyes, “I know who you are.”I smiled, “great, it’s a good thing you already know who I am so there’s no need to in
Gwen.I gave some of my new clothes to Riley, she didn’t want to take them at first but after persuading her she took them and changed.I could finally see the baby—without the many clothes covering her, she was a cute baby and a very quiet one at that.Henry and the kids returned after buying some baby clothes and milk, since her mother wasn’t here I thought it would be okay for her not to starve.“We are home!” Jason yelled from the living room.“Is that him?” Riley asked as soon as we heard his voice.I nodded, “Yes, come down when you are ready,” I tapped her shoulder before leaving her room.“Mommy, come see what we bought!” Jas yelled, I followed their voices coming from the kitchen.They were all unpacking things and they looked excited,“Welcome baby,” I greeted and kissed their foreheads even though they weren’t paying attention.I looked at the stuff they got and sighed in relief when I saw everything the baby would need in there.“What about me?” Henry’s question pulled me
Gwen. Five minutes later Jason was coming downstairs with Riley tailing behind him and the baby in her hand. I could see his hand was wrapped around hers as he led her to the dining table. “Please sit here,” he said politely and tried to pull the chair out. But it was too heavy for him so I had to help, what a cute gentleman. “Thank you, Jason,” Riley said softly as she took her seat. Jason blushed and uttered a low ‘you’re welcome’ before taking his seat beside Jasmine. “Now that everyone is here, can we eat?” Henry asked and I wanted to roll my eyes. “Yes, we can, foodie,” I replied, causing the children to laugh but that did bother Henry. I looked at Riley who was having a hard time trying to eat with the baby in her hand. After watching her for a minute and she still wasn’t able to get a hang of it, I offered to help. “Let me hold her,” I said. She paused what she was doing and looked at me with wide eyes. “What?” She asked. “Let me hold her so you can eat,” I repeated m
Gwen.I avoided the topic of Jasmine wanting a little sister, not because I didn’t want to get pregnant now but because I had no idea how to explain it to her.How am I supposed to tell her that I wasn’t pregnant yet and was only waiting for her father to ‘Ahem’ more?After bathing and dressing them in their night clothes and putting them in bed I left their room. The whole place was quiet and almost all the lights were turned off but a little dim light, like a candle was on so I could see clearly.I went to our bedroom and to my surprise I couldn’t find Henry inside, I’d thought he would be sitting on the bed waiting for me so we could discuss what his daughter just said. But he wasn’t here, I’m going to take that as my luck. I wasn’t ready to talk about that right now, I will get pregnant when I want to and when the baby comes. I don’t want to place pressure on him or myself.With that thought in mind, I took my clothes off and walked into the bathroom while humming softly and packi
Gwen.A couple of hours later we were finally able to wrap things up, we got the venue of the wedding; I decided to go with a beach wedding. I chose that because I love the beach and it will be the right place for me to get married again to my husband.We got the food covered, the decorations, and lastly the wedding color. But what we haven’t gotten covered was my wedding dress, I’m still undecided on what to get. Since it was late and they had to leave we decided to schedule that for the next day.I walked my mother and Mrs Baldwin out and didn’t leave until they rode out of the place. As soon as I stepped inside I let out a deep breath I didn’t know I was holding, I slumped on the couch and rubbed my forehead. Gosh, I could feel a headache coming already, dealing with those two women was troublesome. They wanted things to go their way, I love my mother but I didn’t like her ideas this time.I sighed and kept on rubbing my forehead, I was hungry but too tired to go get something to e
Henry.When Gwen suggested I give her a full body massage as payment for not being around to plan our wedding, I agreed to it because I thought it was easy.I mean, she wasn’t letting me touch her tonight, and massaging her body would give me that opportunity so how hard could this get?I take my words back, it’s hard. It’s so hard that I can’t even take my eyes off her.Gosh, I’ve always known Gwen would kill me one day.When she said full body massage, I’d thought we would do that with our clothes on, or with her just in her undies but never for once did I ever think I would be massaging her with nothing on. Yeah, you heard it right, Gwen wanted me to massage her with just my boxers on while she was practically not wearing anything.This would be a lot harder than I thought.“What are you still standing there for baby, come over already,” she called out, snapping me out of my lewd thoughts of her.How does she expect me to move when there’s a goddess standing in front of me?
