Sophie
I was nervous as I made my way down the steps of the house. I had completely forgotten about my appointment today with my doctor. I don't know why I always get so scared. Maybe the fact mom had breast cancer, and grandma died for the same reason always has me on edge.
Since the year mom died, I have been going to get my usual mammograms every six months. Up to now, everything seems to be good. I had my gene test last time I went and the doctor told me that it looked as though I did not inherit the gene that caused mom to have cancer. Nonetheless, I still get checked every six months without a miss.
I was so nervous that I panicked when I couldn't find my phone, later to feel stupid when Logan pointed that I had it in my hand the whole time. Maybe I'm just overreacting a little. Everything will be fine, right?
"Ready to go?" Logan said as
πβ¨πβ¨πβ¨πβ¨πβ¨πβ¨πβ¨ Sophie His request for me to tell him about what was happening with Rox, through me off, completely. I mean...literally! It took me by surprise. βI...um...what do you mean? Nothing is going on between Roxanne and me. Why would you assume anything was going on here, with her.β I crossed my hands over my chest, turning my head towards the window and biting down on my bottom lip. βAre you...sure?β he asked, making me feel unease. Logan has always been a smart man. He knows me far too well to know when something is bothering me. Well....all except he was unable to tell T was gay because he let his dumb manly jealous rage take over him...but other than that, he's always been able to read me. I sighed, I'm crossing my hands and looking at him, as I rested my head on the
β¨πβ¨πβ¨πβ¨πβ¨πβ¨πβ¨πSophieThe doctor chuckled, and Logan couldn't stop smiling from ear to ear, yet my heart pounded in my chest so fast, I thought it would burst out of my chest. Could it be possible for me to be expecting right now? I mean, I've honestly been so busy that I haven't kept track of my cycle since I moved here.And, let's be honest, before Logan and I got back, I was getting no action whatsoever. So, I wasn't taking birth control, nor was he using any protection. God, this has to be a dream."I...I don't know to be honest. I mean, I guess September?...maybe August... No, wait...September...oh, no." I closed my eyes holding my head. I was so darn confused right now."You know, Carol is a good friend of mine. Why don't I ask her to make room for you? You
πβ¨πβ¨πβ¨πβ¨πβ¨πβ¨πβ¨NathanKaitlyn has been bothering McKenzie a lot lately. I don't like it. She makes Kenzie cry all the time. She always pulls her hair and makes her fall. She is very rude to her. Mom always tells me being rude is not nice. If I'm rude to someone, it makes me look ugly.I think mommy is right. Kaitlyn is ugly because she's very rude. Me. Omar says it's because she's a diva. I don't know what he means by this, but I guess that just means I don't like divas either."Who can tell me the words that are written on the board?" Mr. Omar asks the class. I wish McKenzie was in my class. I really liked her coming to my house yesterday. She is so funny. "Nathan, how about you buddy? Can you tell me what words I wrote on the board?" I looked at him, surprised. I was thinking of my sister, that I wasn't paying a lot of attention
β¨πβ¨πβ¨πβ¨πβ¨πβ¨πβ¨πSophie"Baby, I'm starving. Can we go get a hamburger from Maggie's diner, before heading back home?" I was so tired. I mean, I'm not done ng anything other than laying on the hospital exam chair, but still, I was getting exhausted.Logan stood by my side, smiling at me. He leans down, kissing my lips, "Anything you want baby. We can get food for Nate and Kenzie if you want, so you won't have to cook today. What do you think?" he smiles, inches away from me? I think that's the best idea he's had today. I could sure use a small nap this afternoon.I've been running around so much lately, that I feel I rarely get time to rest. "Mmh, yes. Sounds like a plan." I say, making him chuckle.The doctor came soon, and she examined me. Logan couldn't handle the examination, so he got out, making us both laugh. When she was done, she got up, turned o
β¨πβ¨πβ¨πβ¨πβ¨πβ¨πβ¨πSophie"I feel so damn frustrated right now. I can't believe the audacity of this principal, to call me and tell me, my son was in trouble for standing up for himself. Who the hell does she think she is? What was she thinking? That I'd let this go, and cross my hands? Do nothing about it, but step back and allow the broken school system to proceed with their wrongful punishments to my son, while they oversee not punish the actual culprit?" I kept talking away as we made our way out of the office building. I didn't realize I was fast pacing, walking towards my son's class to pick up his backpack. A habit I have when I'm mad."Mom...mom....mommy please, slow down," Nate said as I held his hand and he struggled to keep up with my pace."But you bet your ass I'm going to get to the bottom of this. I'm going to find out who the hell is talking bad about me to my son...o
β¨πβ¨πβ¨πβ¨πβ¨πβ¨πβ¨π Sophie "Grab it carefully, like this, and snap the picture. Got it?" Nathan smiled as I showed Kenzie how to use my camera. She snapped a picture of Logan taking a big bite off of his burger. She giggled, as Logan moaned in pleasure as he indulge in the taste of his food. He smiled, crossing his eyes, and making funny faces at her. She was pretty good at it too. I have a feeling she'll be a natural at photography. We had gone to the park to allow the kids to have free time. They needed a break, big time, from this stressful day. Did I want to go home and rest? You bet...but my baby comes first, and I need to make sure his mind and is at ease from all the tension h
π¦ππ¦ππ¦ππ¦ππ¦ππ¦ππ¦πSophie"No...no more. I can't possibly eat another bite." I protested as Logan and Nate teased me to eat another slice of pizza. We had spent all morning shopping and having fun in our town's shopping square. It has everything, but better than a Mall. Why? Because it's beautiful. It's a few strips of stores, but it's got so much. Everyone decorates beautifully, outside and inside. It's almost as if you had stepped into one of those hallmark movies.We decided to head over to Dad's vineyard, and eat at his bistro for breakfast, they talked me into eating gourmet pizza. I had a salad before the pizza got here. Huge mistake, my stomach felt as if it was going to explode.When we finished breakfast, we made our way to our town strip. The first thing we did was stop at one
πβ¨πβ¨πβ¨πβ¨πβ¨πβ¨πβ¨ Sophie We had gone back to school, but only to find that Kenzie had gone home early. I grabbed my phone out of my pocket and realized my phone was on silent. I forgot that I had silent my phone while shopping so that we weren't interrupted. I realized I had a few missed calls along with a few messages. I opened the message from Amber. She was explaining that Kenzie didn't feel good and had taken her home, and was going to miss school tomorrow as well. I went back to the car, letting Logan know. He saw my worried expression on my face and chuckled as he grabbed my chin between his thumb and index. "Would it make you feel better if we got her a little get well soup and hot chocolate, and take it to her?" He suggests, making me smile. "Can
AUTHOR'S NOTE: BOOK THREE WILL BE AVAILABLE IN SEPTEMBER. TITLED 'LOVELY IMPERFECTIONS, ' IT'S A STAND-ALONE BOOK ABOUT NATHAN AND THE GIRL HE FALLS IN LOVE WITH.πβ¨πβ¨πβ¨πβ¨πβ¨πβ¨πβ¨Sophie(10 years later, June 18th)I stood at my kitchen island, finishing the last touches on my baby's cupcakes. It was his birthday today, finally turning five years old.After my twins were born, we git married, and it didn't go past two years before I was pregnant again with my beautiful baby girl. We decided to name her Ruth Abigail, after Logan's auntie. She was born close to my birthday on the 13th of November. After that, we went by for three more years until I became pregnant with my baby boy, Daniel, or Tarzan, as Logan likes to tease-call him, which by the way, we are naming him after his uncle, Daniel Halloway, who lives in California.I found that until Logan came to Tennessee, his uncle was helping them out because his dad, Charles, had a hard time making ends meet. While his dad attended
Logan"We're here. This is your home, little ones." I say as I hold the baby carriers in front of our home. I placed baby Sam's carrier down slowly and opened the car door for Sophie, holding out my hand for her. She smiles as she reaches out and carefully gets out of the car. She looks so beautiful with her afterglow. Motherhood looks so beautiful on her. I surely must have done something right to deserve this woman. She's a blessing to me, to my boys, to my family, to my life.We made our way inside and were shocked as we were surprised by our family and friends with a big welcome home party for Sophie and my boys. A lot of our townfolk were here as well, welcoming our twins home. There was food everywhere, along with blue balloons, and streamers inside and outside our home. Everywhere I looked, there were people, kids running, smiling, and having a great time. Music played in the back to enlighten the atmosphere. It made me feel so proud of being part if this town."Wow, hey gu
Sophie (May 26th)The months went by flying so fast. Between work, my belly growing and the wedding coming up I was feeling both excited and anxious. I've been getting Braxton hicks all day. I'm only five months along, but my belly looks big compared to how I was with Nathan. He is so impatient, kicking already and moving so much.Oh yes, you heard right, I'm having another boy.We decided to name him Steven Anthony, Tony for short. It just fits him. I mean, yes, Anthony is his second name, but calling him Steven in front of Steven just got confusing, plus, Steven just proposed to Audrey and if they decided to have a baby together shortly, I'm sure they will name him Steven as well.I stood before the mirror, I wore a boho style laced dress with a low back and a deep V-shaped cut in front. I wanted something simple, and the dress that Ashley and I found was perfect, I still had a few months to go, so I'm sur
SophieI was so nervous, and I'm not even the one getting married today. I walked in my heels from one end of the room to the other making sure everything was accordingly. I wanted this day to be perfect for my best friend. Troy deserves the best wedding ever.I wanted to make sure everything was perfect for him. I tried my best to get everything done without having to worry him or Dylan.I checked on the tables, the decoration, the bar, everything. It had to be perfect. My heart was content as I see everything exactly how we had planned. Now the only thing to do was to wait for the wedding to start."Baby, will you slow down. I don't want you to overdue yourself, remember...the baby. You gotta rest, that's what the wedding planner is for. Don't make me call Loretta. Come on, take a breather will you?" Logan says as he pulls me to him. He hugs me, wrapping his arms around my waist and kissing my lips. Loretta was my doctor.
AUTHOR'S NOTE: We see now down to our last chapters. I just wanted to say thank you guys for this beautiful journey and for being part of it. I hope you have enjoyed my story. Thank you for the wonderful support, and for staying patient as I underwent a period of emotional roller coasters.πβ¨πβ¨πβ¨πβ¨πβ¨πβ¨πβ¨SophieWe went home after we celebrated with friends and family. Of course, I'm sure you know what happened... Logan made love to me so passionately. It felt right, like we belonged together, as it should have been from the beginning. That same weekend, we took off to Dubai and we came back a few days after New Year. Let me tell you, Dubai was beautiful, but it rained most nights, so the days were cold. I think next time we go, it will have to be during the summer instead.Troy is getting married in a few weeks, so I have been busy helping him with the last details while he's away in business.Also, Ro
SophieI was anxious. I don't know why, I mean, it's not the first time Logan and I go out on a date. This was a weekly thing we did back in high school. We loved spending time together, but for some reason, I was nervous.He looked stunning, wearing a black suit with a dark blue shirt and matching tie. I decided on a simple black dress that hugged my body perfectly. It was about mid-thigh length, with a low round cut in the front. I wore black stilettos and a long winter coat since it was snowing out already. It was pretty cold out, but I was still warm by the coat and the car heater. It was going to be a while before I became accustomed to the weather here again. The California weather is so unpredictable. It could be December and 90 degrees Fahrenheit out. Yet, it could be May, and be pouring outside. Luckily, this winter was not so harsh here. Sure, it was showing, but it was very light and was not as cold as I remember.W
Sophie (two weeks later)We were getting closer to Christmas. During the weekend, Logan and Nate helped decorate the whole house, and we decorated the Christmas tree with Kenzie's help. The place looked beautiful, every detail was exactly how I imagined it.I woke up feeling like the luckiest girl in the world. Logan stirred in his sleep as I moved his hand away from my waist. I turned, kissing him on his lips getting a smile in return. "I love you, dork," I said kissing him again and going straight to the restroom. I went for a quick shower, brushed my teeth, placed on comfy clothes, and began my day. It was still a bit of a struggle because of my cast, but little by little I began to adjust.I made breakfast for my two favorite men, woke up Nate, and got him ready for his last week of school before we went off to Christmas and New Year's break. By the time I came down to finish breakfast, Logan was sitting down enjoying his breakfast
SophieThe days that followed soon after the accident was not easy for me at all. When I got to go home after five exhaust days, Logan reluctantly made me rest all day for three days straight. I wasn't allowed to get up unless it was for the bathroom or shower. Logan and everyone treated me with so much care and love, but it was so smothering. True, I felt pampered but overwhelmed since I was limited to the things they allowed me to do.Nate and Kenzie were still being bothered by Kaitlyn as the news of her mom being transferred out of the hospital to jail. The thought that she may go to jail for a long time made her scared. I can't imagine how she feels, she is so little and feels abandoned. I hope Steven gets custody of here soon and they can reconcile. She needs a good home.She was already feeling overwhelmed not having her dad in her life. The thought of Roxanne never acknowledging her as her daughter, made her depressed at such a
SophieI woke up feeling lightheaded. Everything spined, and my body ached everywhere. I glanced at the ceiling as it pinned lightly and realized I was not in my room. I tried to sit up, but my head began to throb, and my hand felt like a million stabbing needles as I realized it was in a cast.I grunted as soon as I felt the shooting pain. "Sophie...baby, are you ok?" I hear Logan's voice. I immediately realized he was asleep, in a sitting position on a chair near me. "Logan. What...what am I doing here? Why is my arm in a cast?" I grunted as I bring my hand to my temple.It seems that my head decided to throb harder and spin faster now that I was sitting with Logan's help."Babe, it's ok. You don't have to remember everything now, but, you were in a car accident baby. You were hit pretty hard. As you can see, your left arm was broken, and you need to take it easy when sitting or laying down. You have a hairline frac
