After that great news, Mr. Menendez took me to my new apartment, it was a studio apartment, where I would stay for the next few days, what I had appreciated the most from Devid was the privacy he was giving me, maybe today would be the day of the big step, the day where I would meet my real father. That made me more than nervous, but I tried not to think about it.To tell the truth, I had more stress in my life than happiness.First, there was Nathaniel, and my mind picturing him with our children with a big smile on his face. The thought of him taking it the wrong way made me sick.And secondly, how would I tell my family about my pregnancy!I was also very anxious about the future, about bringing my only two loves of my life into the world. What would I name them, would they be boys or girls, where would I live and raise my children?What I was more than clear about was that I was going to fight for my children, to give them an excellent life and to fight so that their pedantic fath
Pregnancy week 12 These weeks had gone by so quickly, between watching Nath work from home, I felt so strange saying that this pent house was ours. Nath was very busy with his ambitious idea, he would arrive, I would be asleep and the next morning he would half wake me to give me a kiss and say goodbye. I was in the middle of baking some delicious biscuits when I felt a pair of hands on my stomach. "What are you cooking, dear?" Nath asks me over my ear, making my skin crawl. "Cookies." "Perfect... Do you have your appointment with the new gynecologist today?" "Yep." Then the oven beeps, telling me it's time to bring out the cookies. "They smell delicious," I whisper, and then I carefully take one and offer it to Nath, "Eat. You're my new lab guinea pig, if you get food poisoning I won't eat them." "That's cheating." "You can't medicate me, you'd have to take the babies out in an emergency." Nath takes the cookie I offer him and gives it to him after a dramatic look at the sk
Pregnancy week 15My pregnancy was more noticeable than ever, but as with everything in life, not everything can go right... as the press had unintentionally found out about it.Today we woke up to an international headline: "Loving young couple, Maeve Thompson, and Nathaniel O'Donel, are expecting a baby. Congratulations".The worst part was when my phone was about to explode with calls and messages, when I checked it, I had thousands of messages from my siblings, my mum, my aunts... but only one from Simon was a simple "I told you so".Recently, when we went to the ultrasound, they told me: ‘The bones are growing, but they are still mostly cartilage. They wiggle their fingers and toes and make other movements, like blowing out their bellies, as training for the breathing movement they will make once they are out of the womb’. I loved having the doctor digest everything that was happening anatomically with my babies, it was so cool to hear.My babies looked stronger and stronger, my
Romy was standing in front of me, she was trembling at this moment, I had run out of air. Romy was standing in front of me, she was trembling at this moment, I had run out of air."Ro-Romy..." I said, scared, as the words finally came out of my mouth.The Romy I had seen that day wasn't the same as the one in front of me, he looked so skinny, worn clothes, bad smell, big dark circles under his eyes, red eyes... He wasn't at all the boy I had seen that day."Doll, you're finally awake!" he cheered happily."Romy, what are you doing here?""I wanted to see you, my love," Romy came closer, her hands trembling as she took my cheeks, "I missed you so much..."I tried to stay calm, for my babies more than anything...At that moment Romy put her head on my neck, I couldn't stop trembling from the shock, he quickly moved away from me and to my surprise he soothed me with a slap."Bitch!" You smell like him... But don't worry, when I make you mine, you'll smell like me. Doll, did you think you
Pain, that literally summed up that moment, I was lying on a bed in more than pain. When I finally came to, I put my hands on my stomach."Hello love... Are you awake yet?" asked Nath, rushing to my side."Did I-I lose her...?"Nathaniel is silent for a few seconds, staring at me.No, we almost lost our babies because of that idiot... but you almost did, now you have a high-risk pregnancy."Did they catch him?" I ask fearfully, looking at the bruises on my hands in the shape of a hand."We don't know yet, love, but I don't want you to worry about it... I'll take care of everything, wait, I'll call a doctor," Nath leaves the room and returns a few minutes later with the doctor."Good morning, Miss Thompson, how are you feeling today?""Very well, a little sore... How are my babies?" I asked anxiously."They are very much looking forward to life, now you have a high-risk pregnancy, you have a twin pregnancy, so if you lose one baby the other will most likely follow. So, try to eat a bal
Christmas SpecialIf there was one thing I had learned from my brothers, it was that even if they were a thousand years old, they would still fight over everything. Likewise, there were a thousand changes in my life… for example, my parents were talking more than ever, my brothers were going mad in my care, and Nath wasn't even leaving the house. It's starting to look a lot like Christmas, echoing through the house, adding to the Christmas spirit.There was no news of Jessica, she seemed to have been swallowed up by the earth, and that frightened me, but I wasn't alone in my house, although my sisters did go out from time to time to see Paris. Tonight, we were going to cook dinner and sing Christmas carols and watch films, anything that didn't involve leaving the house, but tonight it was going to snow, and it was going to be cold."We're going to grill a turkey!" I hear my sister argue."It's better clam chowder!""Anastasia, shut up! Maeve is pregnant, she can't eat that stuff, thin
30th week of pregnancyAs the days calmed down, we decided to gradually move back to Los Angeles, as Nath and I had finished his work here in Paris for the time being... plus I couldn't bear to stay in that house...My pregnancy was going very well, I was still a high-risk pregnancy, but now I could move around a bit more.My father had been in London for a long time and my mother went to Los Angeles a week later and a few days after that she came out with the news that she had to go to London... My sisters were no longer in Paris, they had left one by one to throw Jessica off the scent and to get everything ready for my return.As we left the house I started to cry for some strange reason, I didn't know if it was my hormones or if I was really freeing myself from the bad memories that were left in that house."How does it feel, love?" Nath asked me, he had been asking me the same question the whole flight."Good... by the way, what happened with Jessica's father?" I wanted to know."
MackenzieI officially hated that idiot Devid with all my might, if he turned my world upside down nineteen years ago, he still has the same effect on me.The sight of him, when everything calmed right down made my heart skip a beat and I wanted to kiss him and get lost in some corner of the world. You could say that the first person I ever really loved in a loving way was Devid, for Liam I was just a smokescreen for his infidelities and his galas where he made himself the most loving man in the world.Right now, I was devastated to tell you the truth, I was so happy to have my children that each of them loved so madly and yet so sad that I hadn't found my half.Having to be separated from Devid was the most painful thing for both of us, and now we met again. When we were at Nath's house in France, I remember one night when I woke up to get a drink of water and he was there."You're still as beautiful as ever," he murmurs from the kitchen, "And I see you don't have the ring.""This...
