Freya's POV The drive didn't seem to take long, we sat listening to music while holding hands.I could see the smile on his face, it didn't falter once since we left the diner, he looked so happy. "Did you have a good day?"I asked quietly while looking down at his hand intertwined in mine, he squeezed it gently making me look over at him."Honestly, this was even better than I could have imagined, definitely started off a bit rough when we got to the studio but after that everything was perfect.Everyone loved you too, it was as if you had always been there with us, you fit in so effortlessly, like the piece of the puzzle that had been missing from us was now pushed into place."I don't think I will ever get used to the way he speaks to me, he never seems to hold anything back, he's so thoughtful with his words as well, makes my heart melt."You really think they liked me, didn't just fake it for you?"His head snapped to me so fast I felt the whiplash from it, good thing we were a
Freya's POV Continued Everything stopped in that moment, like someone hit pause on our life when I turned that one to face him.He sat there perfectly still, his eyes taking it all in, he was holding his breath before he moved only his eyes to look up at me before they settled back on the painting in front of him.His hands carefully reached for it, he sat it on his knees, holding it up, blocking me from seeing him, this being not only my most intimate one, but the largest of the bunch, but also the only one to be horizontal.He lowered it just enough for me to see his eyes, fully glazed over, tears steadily falling down his face as I stood there perfectly still, frozen to my spot, worried he was upset with me.He gently placed it down next to him on my bed before standing in front of me, looking down at me."You.... you were there? You saw us Freya?""I heard the music, I snuck down but when I saw you two I stopped on the stairs, not wanting to ruin it for you.""That look, the one
Freya's POV Waking up Friday morning to an empty spot next to me, Andrew's side of the bed was cold so he had to of left quite some time ago.Stretching before I finally sat up, throwing my legs over the side of the bed, I grabbed my phone.I had missed texts from Addy, Cody, Cory, Madison, even Olivia. The time was already 8:11 am which made sense now why his side was cold, he likes to get up, making breakfast for his mom before she goes to bed.I went to the bathroom, before decided to check my messages.Cody, along with Cory, and Madison all asked me how I was, told me they missed me in their own ways while saying they can't wait to see me on Monday at school.The thought of going to school made my chest feel a bit heavy but I shook it off while replying to them all in a group text.Me: Love you guys, I'm good, just taking a couple days but I will definitely see you guys on Monday, promise!Cody: Glad you're good Frey, if you need anything call Mr.Cory: I CANT WAIT TO SEE YOU! Lo
Andrew's POV All the rambling thoughts of starting a new school only for my senior year was bothering me. I'm happy that ibwill get to have Freya there, but I almost wish they would have moved to us, not us to them.She fit in so perfectly with my friends, even with that little blunder that happened with Olivia, Freya is such an amazing soul to be able to understand the situation as well as forgive the way she did.Her going to my school, she wouldn't have had a single issue making the best of it along with having friends right away, plus our art program is ten times better than hers is, she would thrive there but we only had a small apartment so moving into their home was the best option for us.It stings to know that I won't be doing my senior year with my friends.While struggling in my own head Stephen came home asking if we still wanted to go to dinner all together, which of course we did.I watched my mother as she came downstairs, the moment she looked over to see Stephen I wa
Freya's POV Top golf ended up being way more fun than I'd imagined, plus I had more fun doing it tonight than ever before.We come here at least once a month if not twice, but tonight was the best.However the mood managed to become spoiled due to Cory's attitude towards Andrew, I guess towards myself too considering she didn't even say goodbye to me when she left, she just turned, then walked away from me.Madison on the other hand was nice about it, she even did a little warning about hurting me which was a bit surprising coming from her considering she is usually our quiet one, just made me appreciate it even more.When she went to leave, she hugged me tightly."Frey, I just want you to be happy, I'm sorry for Cory, it's just because of Cody, she has always wanted you two to end up together, her hopes were up when he finally decided to ask about that movie, but she pushed him hard to do it.Now seeing you two out together, late, she knows you lied about not being able to go."She
Freya's POV Continued After the movie, which yes, I cried while they made fun of it we all went home but not before Andrew invited Cody to go with us Sunday for the day to which he agreed so he will be following us because he wants to see if Madi wants to come along with us.Cory and Addy have swim practice Sunday morning so we know they can't join, but Madi usually comes to my house Sundays until they are done they we all go out together so Cody knows she may want to come with us.On the ride home I sat pondering if Cody actually likes Madison, I know Madi always denied that she did but I could always see that she did with the way she looked at him, but also knew that she would never act on them due to how everyone spoke about how we would be so good together."What's going on in that pretty head of yours right now? I can see the wheels turning."I laughed at him before shaking my head, I love how he can read me so well already, like we've known one another our entire lives like I ha
Freya's POV Walking through the shopping center that held my favorite little Italian restaurant I used to go to with my dad weekly, I walked inside.Greeted by the hostess, she asked my name as if she didn't recognize me, her eyes blank of emotion, her normal happy, cheerful self was void from her face making me raise a brow at her."You know me, its Freya, remember?"Her head tilted over to look at me but there was no one there, her eyes white, completely glazed over white. No colors no pupil, just blank creepy eyes before she turned her head back away from me before pointing back into the restraint where the tables were while her other hand held a menu out to me.When I took the menu her hand dropped down to her side before she was staring off into space yet again.I shook it off as I hesitantly walked back to the table I usually sit at, the one I sat at on Monday with Andrew when we came here for his first time.The waiter didn't come to the table, there wasn't a single other custo
Andrew's POV I woke up to the sound of Freya whimpering next to me, she was stiff as a board laying on her back as she whimpered.I tried to wake her but she didn't wake her eyes looked to be moving running a mile a minute under her eyelids sending a wave of worry through me.I gripped her chin lightly as I tried to move her face to me but she just didn't seem to even flinch, her eyes still going, her body began shaking, goosebumps rising all over her body when she began to breath heavily, fear was apparent as I watched her. A sheen of sweat covered her body as she swallowed harshly.I kept trying to ask her to wake up, fear coursing through me when she began to move around a bit, a scream tore through her as she began to flail around, her hands clawing down on the bed making me worry she would hurt herself.I tried to stop her arms from swinging around when she began slapping me, then kicked me so I straddled over her to pin her arms to her side as she screamed repeatedly."Come one
Five Years LaterFreya's POV "Mom! Tell Stephen he has to stop drawing on my wall!"Walking into Torvi's bedroom I find Stephen with chalk all over his hands and clothes as he is drawing all over the chalk board wall we made inside Torvi's room, covering some things that she had already done.Grabbing the chalk from Stephen he starts to get upset because he wanted to keep drawing everywhere. "I want to color mommy, please!""Come on silly boy, you know you aren't supposed to go in your sister's room, let alone draw over her things. I'll get you the easel out so you can draw on there."Walking out I grabbed the kids size easel out of the closet in the hall before seeing it up in the sun room so he could paint or color, or even do a chalk drawing if he so chooses."Thanks mommy!"He set to making a mess but was all smiles while doing so. Shaking my head with a smile on my face I walked back to check on Torvi."Sorry bug, maybe I will do a wall in his room now too, he's old enough. Do y
Freya's POV After spending three nights in the hospital with my son, Torvi came up everyday with Andrew to see us, we finally are being released to head home."Hello Freya, how are we feeling this morning? Are you both ready to go home today?""Definitely, I can't wait to sleep in my own bed again, not that I don't live it here with you guys constantly help takebcare of us."The nurse laughed as she took Stephen's vitals then checked me one last time."Do you want to shower before you leave or wait till you get home?""I'd like a quick one while I'm here, you know, just my body. Then I will take a full one once I'm back home, my hair is still gross from the last one considering he kept forgetting the conditioner."We laughed together while we had some small talk before breakfast was brought in to me."When you are finished eating I'll come back to keep an eye on little man here while you wash up. We are all going to miss you both so much, plus that little Torvi coming in every day.""
Andrew's POV I woke up to feeling a wetness on the bed when my eyes shot open to see Freya trying to sit up as she was breathing heavily."My... water... it broke..."She breathed out heavily as I jumped up out of the bed, ripping my clothes off as I grabbed some new ones out of my dresser as fast as humanly possible before rushing to her side of the bed.I helped her sit up while grabbing her shoes to put on her feet while grabbing her some new underwear with a pad in it, in hopes that may help her out for the car ride.After slipping those on her as she groans while gripping her belly I managed to get some pants on her while helping her into a sports bra before throwing one of her pregnancy tops over her."How far apart are your contractions?""I'm not sure, maybe seven or eight minutes. Go check on Torvi then let Damon know we need to go to the hoSPITAL!"She started panting harder as she gripped herself again, making me rush to check on Torvi before knocking on Damon's door as I
Freya's POV Continued The last few months have been great. I started my job at the college shadowing my professor while taking my classes online for teaching.Things have been running smoothly. The holidays, along with Torvi's fifth birthday party were great. I love having our parents here as well as Torvi's friends from school.I'm due in two weeks but my doctor believes I can go at any time. I'm way bigger with this little man than I ever was with Torvi. My feet hurt all the time and so does my back. I have a constant pressure, down there, making walking for to long very uncomfortable but Andrew takes wonderful care of me and having Damon with us really helps out with Torvi during the days.My last day at the school is tomorrow before I'm on leave, which is a blessing and a curse honestly. The thought of staying on my feet makes me want to just lay in bed for hours but the thought of being stuck at home laying in bed makes me want to go for a walk.It's crazy how that works, my em
Freya's POV I was standing in the shower, the water cascading down my body, the heat seeping into my bones relieving the chill I had been feeling as the steam surrounded me while fogging up the room.I love the feel of the heat running over me, the way it relaxes my body, eases the back pain I had been experiencing making me feel a bit better as I stood there leaning my forehead on my hands that were laying upon the tiles as the water beat down on my back.Lost in the feel of everything I never even noticed the door opening until I got hit with a cold draft as my curtain opened ever so slightly as hands gripped my hips from behind me making me jump a bit from being startled as a small shriek left my lips.Those sparks rushing through my body as butterflies hit my stomach making my care pulse as heat rushed through me in a different way than what the hot water does to me.My body being pulled flush into a hard body behind me as I felt the heat from his breath brush across my neck befo
Damon's POV"La la lala, love.""Wa was wuv.""You are so close my princessa, so close, getting better every day. Do you want a snack before mommy gets back with lunch or do you want to wait?""Keep play with me, I want to color with you."She jumped up to her feet before hopping a bit with a giant smile on her face. I can't even describe how much I love this little girl or how I am lucky enough to get to be a part of her life and watch her grow. I hope that one day I will get to experience this with my own child, but finding a love like Andrew has with Freya seems to be a difficult thing to find.After everything with Cory, I just don't even have the tiniest of umph to want to start dating again. She literally hated me spending time with my family, I can't be with someone like that. We are young, I mean I'm only 22 years old, shouldn't she be happy I'd rather spend extra time with my family, one of which is someone she had grown up with their entire lives, than going out to clubs or
Freya's POV Continued Spending time with our parents was wonderful but it's nice to have our home back without the extra people I felt I needed to keep entertaining when all I wanted to do was sleep in one morning before I started my online classes.Of course I didn't get that because I have Torvi running around the house like a crazy girl while playing, dancing, singing and eating constantly today.She has been on a new level of hyper this morning when she rushed into my room before jumping on the bed at six making me groan as Andrew rolled out of bed to get ready for work. Torvi was playful all while she snuggled up next to Mr, her little hands gripping my face making sure I looked at her."Morning mommy, can I have a pop tart pwease?""Mmm of course my little bug, come on."I kissed her cheek as she smiled at me before I liftednher up to place her down onto the floor next to the bed when she took off running making me shake my head while I chuckled a bit."She has enough energy f
Freya's POV I'm about to graduate college along side my best friend and brother while my husband sits with our parents, along with our precious Torvi in the stands to watch Damon and I walk across a stage to get our degrees.After I told Andrew we were pregnant we had Damon move back home with us the same evening.This past week has been a breeze, even after he was gone for over a year, it went right back to normal without a hiccup. Torvi has been over the moon to have her story time buddy back for bedtimes, she loves her Uncle Damon like another parent.Andrew wanted to call our parents straight away but the next morning when I went to call them he stopped me that time, saying he wanted to wait to tell them in person after the graduation, I agreed with him because I didn't want to miss my dad's reaction when he finds out.I went to get some little things to surprise them with the news too, I can't wait to give it to them later this evening at our celebration dinner.Damon helped me
Andrew's POV Continued After Freya went into the bedroom, Damon and I sat out in the living room for a while longer. I could see he wanted to talk to me about what was going on but was hesitating at the same time. "You know, you can tell me anything, right?"He nodded as he laid his head back on the back of the couch while he sighed deeply."All we did was fight man, it started before we moved in, but once we lived together it was bad, she was always angry, upset with me for something or other. It was just to much, then yesterday it got really bad because..."He got quiet as he swallowed deeply before lifting his head up as he sat forward putting his face I his hands while shaking his head."Because you come over here to much?"He moved his hands, his eyes shifting upwards to look at me."You know that's an issue?""Freya noticed first, then after she said something I saw it too, guess I just didn't pay attention enough, or care really, when she didn't come. But after Frey pointed i
