Once up on an Us First fight
"I don't know, you tell me!" I changed my words.Because honestly, I didn't know what just happened, and didn't think that scuffle was the appropriate word."You were being disrespectful.""Was I?""Yes, with the way you were talking to my mom.""Oh, I must have not noticed because I was too set on how your family was treating me. They acted as if I was some kind of animal. It's like I'm not good enough for you or to even to be in their presence. Why don't we talk about that?"Nick ran his hands through his hair several times."You didn't have to act as how you did.""Ok, since we are talking about my actions. Let's not mention how you were with that girl, the way you looked at her. How do you think I feel to have you both so close to each other? Acting like you're still in love. I couldn't bear to stand there and watch that.""You- She's all I know. I don't even know you. I still can't believe what you are claiming to be true.""Well, you're all I know. We have been married for three
Last Updated : 2022-06-02Once up on an Us Can we talk?
For three days, Nick and I didn't speak, both still holding grudges after what happened at his parents' house.Acting like strangers in a house.Well, I was a stronger to him.I would come home from work to make dinner, which Nick didn't eat.I would sit at the table by myself, playing with my food, pushing it around my plate until it got cold, or I lost my appetite.On the third day of not talking to each other, or me not eating much, I dumped the rest of the food and prepared for bed. The silence in the house was so loud it was almost maddening.We wouldn't even look at each other. Instead, we waited until one was out of the kitchen to avoid being too close.I threw my shirt on the ground and dived under the covers, drifting off almost instantly.****It wasn't even seven yet when Jackson came over."Just a minute I told him, then opened the door. I threw the sheets over my shoulder to help keep out the early morning chill while Jackson sat across from me."Well, boss. Everything is

"That's so nice of you, mother."Mrs Carter frowned, then looked away from my smiling face."So, Chrissy. How is the planning coming along?"She groaned, "I never knew that it would have been this hard. I don't want to be a bridezilla, but nowhere seems to have the flowers that I want because they say it wouldn't be in bloom for my wedding.""What flowers are these?""Loachs.""Why not get artificial flowers?" Alba put in.But we ignored her."You could always go for orchids, in my opinion they are much better than loach and give off a low fragmented smell."Christenna gasped, "that is a perfect idea. Where have you been this entire time? I might just fire the planners and hire you, because none of them thought of that.""There is no need." I waved her off.Christenna gave me a sideways hug. “Thank you for coming today."We joined four other women at a small cafe nearby, reminding me of the one Nick and I always visited."Aunt Marcia." Christenna pulled one of the woman into a hug. "I

When I got home, Nick wasn't there, so I went to the game room just to try to clear my mind.I choose a game to play, and bit at my nails as I wait for it to boot up.Because I was deep in thought, the loud whirling sound the game made caused me to jump.I gave a little laugh after.'Select your character.' The gaming system said, again the unexpected sound made me jump."How do I turn this down?"I eventually found the volume button, then turned it all the way down so there won't be any sound.I shot at all my opponents, pretending that they were Mrs Carter and Alba.I even named one Alba, not caring if Nick would see the name when he played the game."Die bitch die." I laughed.After another hour of playing, I got bored and just stared at the screen as my character was running in place."Why is my life like this?"I felt just like the game avatar. In real life, I didn't know where to go from here. I felt confused, angry and so many other emotions that I couldn't explain.I don't kno

As I sat there crying to myself, I could hear Nessa trying to reason with Nick."You have to understand that she is going through a lot right now. With all that's going on and you not making an effort is not helping. Just remember that you are all she came to know, so take it easy with each other."I didn't hear Nick's answer. That's if he even gave one.The door was slide open and Nessa came in, "you." She said."You have-""I know and I'm trying." I cut her off."Sitting in a game room isn't trying.""We just had an argument.""And you gave up.""But it's not like he is making it any easy, I'm the one to do all the talking. I'm putting in all the effort while he is just there.""Maybe use sex. You know, maybe that can, you know, get him addicted." Nessa made a suggestive action.I laughed, "maybe? You think I should?"She gave a wink, "yes girl.""Maybe.""Well, I'll leave you to it."Nessa got up and left.When I finally mustered up enough strength and courage. I left the game room
Last Updated : 2022-06-02Once up on an Us What a morning
The next morning, I woke to Nick making breakfast. While he blasted music, my heart raced, thinking that he was finally back to his old self.I threw the covers off, then jumped out of the couch, almost tripping in my rush.I hurried to the kitchen, only to see that he had company.I stared eye wide at his brother and the other male that was sitting around the counter."Wow," Michael said, his eyes running over my body as a smile spreading across his face.“Shit." I tried to cover myself with my hands while trying to back away, only to stumble over the broom.How embarrassing? I thought, rubbing my ass, not knowing what to do in a situation like this.Nick turned his attention to me slowly, then frowned.He rushed over to me, trying to block the eyes of his brother and the other male that was present."Why are you naked!?" He yelled."I sleep naked. Maybe if you woke me up, this wouldn't have happened." I pulled away from him."You should have looked before coming in here." He gritted

The next day, there were no changes. We didn't try to communicate with each other. It was back to how it started. Avoiding each other, not wanting to be in the same room, and not even looking at each other.My phone buzzed with a message. I looked over at Nick with a frown, wondering why he messaged me instead of using his words."What time is your appointment?" I asked aloud.He messaged my phone again."Might as well get ready then." I rolled my eyes.The next message that he sent made me frown, because it said his mother wanted to come.’’Of course she does.’’ I said with a groan.After getting ready and dressed into something nice. I made my way down the stairs, then paused because it felt as if I was forgetting something."Excuse me." Nick said from behind me.But I stood there as if I didn't hear him.The next thing I knew, he was tickling my side. I squealed at and would have fallen over if I hadn’t held onto the staircase.I walked away at that, bumping into him as I did.Sho

I almost forgot to about Christenna's party, well I tried to, but she somehow got my number, sent many messages and left several voice messages calls.After my phone rang for the tenth time, I finally answered."Hello?" I heard music in the background before Christenna's voice."Reign, it's Christenna. I know that you and my brother are going through it right now, but I would really appreciate it if you come to my party. I consider you as a sister and don't care what my mother thinks." Christenna said in a rush."I don't know if I can make it."As much as Christenna wanted me at her party, I knew it was best to not show my face. Her mother didn’t want me there. I’m sure Nick didn’t either and me showing up might only cause problems."Please come. It will really mean so much to me.""I will try to be there, but no promises." I replied to her after a long pause."Ok." She hung up.I sighed, "do I really want to be there?""No, Mrs Carter and Alba will give me a hard time."I groaned out

Once up on an Us New vows/The end
Just as I twisted my curly hair in the clip, Nessa's phone alarmed."Two minutes, then it is your time to walk down the aisle again." Nessa said.She came to hold me at arm's length, then hugged me."Feels like there is something between us," I joked."There is." She patted her four months stomach."Give them hell." I stoop down so I speak to her stomach."He already is, all the morning sickness. Mood swings and always sleeping. I miss eating bacon." Nessa began to cry.I allowed her the moment because I knew that it was just the hormones.Soon she was smiling at me again."Finish getting ready. I'll go call Lorain," she told me.I slipped into my white heals, then knotted my diamond studded tiara in my hair."Looking lovely," Lorain said, coming into the room. Complementing my simple mermaid dress.She picked up my flowers and hand it to me."Ready to give you away, Mrs Carter." She smiled.We walked down the aisle.When I didn't hear any crying, I looked at my left to see Mia and El
Once up on an Us It's time
Due to some setbacks, Nick and I weren't able to move into our new house until I was almost due.And even though we were moving in, he didn't want me to lift a hand. So, I used my finger to instruct them on where the movers and our friends should put what."No, that glass table belongs in the living room. It goes in the middle. Does anyone not have vision?"I sighed, then sat on the sofa that was facing the fireplace that was below the TV."So we don't place the sofas in a straight line?" Jackson asked."No, this one faces the fireplace. While the other two face each other."Seeing that no one was placing the vases on the shelves that were on either side of the fireplace, I got up and made my way over to the boxes.I struggled to bend forward, while trying to bend sideways didn't work either.I puffed up my cheeks, trying to think of a way to get what was inside the boxes. I knew that if I should stoop down, I might not be able to get back up."What do you think you are doing?" I span
Once up on an Us Baby shower
Nick came home early from work. He and his team were already halfway through with building our home."Hey you." He came over to kiss my forehead. "How are my girls?" He then kissed my stomach."Where is everybody?""Out back." I pointed with a chicken tender.I then dipped it in the honey-barbecue sauce that was sitting on my six months belly.Even though my baby shower was set to start in less than three hours, I was sitting in the living room eating junk food and pickles while using my stomach as a table because no one wanted me to do anything.They all were treating me as if I had suddenly become disabled.Shortly after, Nick came back with Jackson stirring him by the shoulders."You two just sit tight while we do all the work." He told Nick.I laughed at the look on my husband's face."Maybe massage her feet. I'm sure they are swollen." Jackson picked up a random bottle and threw it at Nick.Even though it was lubricant, it was for a different reason.With a cheeky smile, I placed

"Can I just take the blind food off? This is giving me anxiety." I asked."Not yet, just ten more minutes and I'll show you."I could feel the car coming to a stop, Nick getting out, then him coming around my side of the car."Ok, just trust me." He said, taking my hand.Instead of making me walk, Nick allowed me to climb on his back. After walking for a while, he stopped and place me on my feet."Ok, you can take the blindfold off."When I did, I noticed we were standing in a big open land."This is where our house will be." Nick grinned.I did a three sixty spin, to get a full view."So, it is a little bigger than I thought. The owner doesn't want it anymore and is willing to take any money from it, as long as I build a home. What do you think?""Have you done a survey to see what was wrong?""Nothing is wrong, just that there is a cliff at the back. But it is perfect otherwise.""And he is willing to take anything for it?""I mean, he is my uncle. So, yes.""I was also thinking tha
Once up on an Us My best friend's wedding
"I can't believe I'm doing this." Nessa said as Enzo applied her makeup."Look up,'' Enzo instructed."I hope you are not planning to run.""No, I can now say that I love him and if I should ever do that, I'm sure Rickie would cry.""Please smack your lips together?"After her makeup was set, I helped to zip her up into her mint-green and white dress, which I made exclusively for her.With its sweetheart neckline, and long flowing sheer skirting. I have to say that the dress represented her well."Time for the final touch."I stuck the flower crown in her hair, then let my hand rest on her shoulders."You look so beautiful," I told her.Nessa blinked back tears."Don't make me cry. You know I won't be able to stop." She tried to laugh.I gave her a hug, making sure to not smudge her makeup."I just wish daddy was here to see this.""Oh Nessa. I'm sure that he is smiling down at his baby girl."She dabbed at her eyes."I know, thank you Reign. I couldn't have asked for a better friend.
Once up on an Us Happy news
I was glad when the Dr Lynch said Nick could go home, but what made me even happier was that he remembered, he truly remembered.I couldn't help my smile as we left the hospital.I noticed Nick putting on his seat belt without me telling him to."I will never not wear this again," he said.I reached over to kiss him."You better, or else I will kill you myself."Nick gave a nervous chuckle. "I believe you."Before I could drive away, I saw Alba coming out of the hospital."What are you going to do about them?""I won't say anything to my sister, that's for sure. I don't see the reason for breaking up what she and Johnathan have because, from what Alba said, the two of them slept together before he and Christenna were together. As for my mother. Well, she just reminds me of why I left home, it had aways been her. And now she has no one because of her ways."I held his hand."Just know that no matter what happens, I will always be here for you."''I know, thank you."When we got home, t
Once up on an Us He remembers
By sometime after midnight, I got a call from the hospital, but all I could do was think about all the worst things, because I knew you only get bad news at this time.I took up the bag I had prepared for Nick, and as I drove to the hospital, I held my breath.I wasn't counting on him remembering who I was, even though the nurse on the phone assured me that everything was fine. But that was what they told me the first time, that he was ok when he wasn't.When I got to the hospital, I sat in the car for a while. My hands were shaking, and it felt as if I would pass out myself.I eventually built up the courage to go inside. I had to take deep breaths to carry on."Hi, I'm here to see Nicholas Carter.'' I said to the male at the reception."And you are?""His wife, Royal-Reign Belmont-Carter." I rushed.His eyes widen. "No freaking way. My fiancé is obsessed with your designs. I'm here putting in the extra hours so I can afford the dress she wants.""Oh, hmm. Congrats.""Yeah, your husb
Once up on an Us Not again
Christenna took her husband's hand in her. "Well, Johnny. Looks like you will never be coming back here when our honeymoon is over. I wouldn't want my mother to try and kill you or get me pregnant in my sleep."They both get up, but neither made a move to leave.Michael was on his phone making calls."You will be hearing from my lawyer Gloria-Lyn, and so will you Alba." Mr Carter got up to walk out of the dining room.Nick stopped him. "Dad, even though I have no memory of that day, I want to apologise for holding a grudge against you."Mr Carter pulled him into a hug."Son, I have no hate for you. I never understood why you left so suddenly until I was fed lies by your mother. She told me you left because you went to Africa." Mr Carter then laughed. "I was just a gullible fool for believing her, not knowing she used my name."Micheal turned hateful eyes to his mother. “That's all you do. Tell lies. I went to see Sabrina after she had my son. When I asked you who the child really belo

"Oh, for the love of God," Michael said, then got up from the table.Alba huffed, but didn't fully enter the dining room."Did you request my presence?" She asked."Yes, that lie you told on me. I wish for you to clear my name," Mr Carter said, cutting into his pancake."Oh, that. See, I was drunk and my mouth just said what my drunken brain told it to.""A drunk mind always reveals a sober mind," I piped up. "And you wishing for Nick's death and our divorce clearly isn't something you came up with on the spot.""I was about to say the same thing. At first, mother was fine with what you had to say until the end of your statement. If I didn't know any better, that push was meant to either kill you or knock you out." Christenna said. "My reception was a shit show because of you." She added.Alba touched her forehead where a welt was. "Take it up with your mother.""This has much to do with you as it does with me," Mrs Carter said.Mr Carter hit his hand on the table. "Enough of the back
