Gracelyn's POVIt's been a week since my last talk with Ange. She made so mad that I don't want to talk to her. She talks as if a baby isn't a living thing. She talks as if babies are just everywhere. She didn't know the longing I've been feeling. Longing to be a mother with a cute baby to cuddle. A baby who will wake me up midnight, a baby who will always want me. I really wanted to get pregnant but since my miscarriage I always have my period every month. Every month, seeing those one line, saddens me. I am already on the verge of giving up and if Ange will be the one to give me a child then I'll accept it as my own. I need to discouraged Ange to have an abortion at all cost.I went to my closet to change. I will visit Ange. I was rummaging through my piled clothings when a pack of napkin falls to my head.I pick it up and returned it. I went ot the bathroom and prepare the bath tub. I went to our room again because I forgot the towel. I don't know why something is bothering me sin

I miss our comfortable bed with her in it."I'm home!" I shouted upon oening the door.I heard laughters from the kitchen. I went in there and saw my fiancee and her sister together with my mother in law."Greg!" Gracelyn said and give me a tight hug.Her smile is usually bright today or maybe because I didn't see her for two days and one night?"I miss you." I chirped and give her a peck."I miss you too." She answered sweetly."Before you go lovey- dovey there, Greg, sit and let's eat." Rebecca said.I sit beside Gracelyn and noticed that their eyes are all puffy . Seems like they have been crying. What happened when I was away?"What happened to you guys ?""Why?" Gracelyn asked while getting herself a hotdog."Your eyes are puffy."They all laughed which made me more confused."Well, I'll leave the story telling to Grace
Gracelyn's POVFinally, the wedding is set. It will be on Greg's birthday. Thankfully the hospital give him a week break for our wedding. The preparation is exhausting though. It wears us out. Greg said that I should leave it to them but I want to partake in it. It's my wedding in the first place."You should rest. Stress, walking and all is not good for you.""But I want to come." I insist. I think being hard headed comes with the pregnancy. I noticed my behavior changing. I'm so grateful thaty pregnancy isn't like the fiirst one. The vomiting and dizziness aren't that much.Greg looked at me sharply. He is reprimanding me silently using his eyes."Fine!"I lie down back to bed and cover the blanket to me up to my head.I heard Greg sigh but didn't say a word and just closed the door behind him. They will be giving out the invitations today and I understand that staying inside the car and walking will be tiring for me but my hormones doesn't make it easy for Greg. I always nagged him
Gracelyn's POVI glanced at myself in the mirror one last time before I walked down the aisle. I can't believe at the reflection I am seeing. Is this actually me? The make up artist has overdid her job. She made me the most beautiful woman on this day. Since I am not fun of heels, I wore my white running shoes for a change. Well, they couldn't know what I wore in this long gown, can they?I went out of the room and I entertwined my hands with my parents. They both smiled at me tears are starting to fall."You will ruin your make up mom." I whispered.She immediately dried her tears. Dad cleared his throat and smile at me. I know he was about to cry to but he is forcing himself not to. I gave them both a peck on their checks and they enclosed me with a hug. Them doing this makes me feel like a child again . Enclosed in their protective embrace. We heard the emcee call out to us so we started walking towards the hall.The church is packed with our guest and with the numbers of sponsors
Ange's's POV"What do you feel? Does it hurt?" Gracelyn has been asking these questions for a hundred times now since last night. My labor started last night.

Lexa's POVWhen I saw Gracelyn opened Greg's office I was shocked but didn't make it obvious. I gave her a smile but she frowned. I think she didn't like my presence here. I understand her if she feels that way. She was asking me questions when Greg went in. I don't know how to react but so is Greg. I thought he would shoo me out but instead he showed Gracelyn out. I saw Gracelyn feel uneasy. I know that feeling. The feeling that you aren't the one who was choosen. I just stay still and didn't say a word. I waited for Greg to come back."Sorry about that. My wife is a little bit on the edge since she is nearly due." He apologize."Is it okay for you to leave her outside? As you said she is nearly due.
