Melissa stretched her limbs flattering her eyes open.
She woke up in a really good and happy mood.
Ever since that incident two plus weeks ago, she always woke up in panic, thinking that someone had kidnaped her or that they were coming to kill her again but today, she had the most peaceful and quiet sleep ever, she didn't have any nightmares and was completely at peace.
She stretched herself again and lay on her side, followed by rubbing her baby bump lovingly.
"Goodmorning Celeste," she said with continuous circular rubbing motions until her stomach rumbled indicating that she was hungry.
"Guess it's time for breakfast. But I don't feel like getting up so how about we ask daddy to make us breakfast in bed yeah?" she rubbed her baby bump again and her stomach rumbled again. I guess that's a yes!
Melissa turned to look at the other side of the bed in hopes of seeing Kaden
"Hey why are you suddenly crying? Don't you like it?" Veronica asked with concern kneeling next to her and checking to see what's wrong." Look at me! I am fat like a cow, this won't fit me," she threw the swimsuit across the room and her mother in law giggled but covered it up with a coughs."Sorry something entered my throat hmm," she cleared her throat.Sammy equally stifled in her laughter, knelt down next to her and wiped her tears saying, " you are not as fat as a cow Mel," her voice was laced with amusement, " all I see is a pretty woman who will soon give birth to a precious gift. You shouldn't be feeling self couscous about this okay because it's normal I mean look at me for example, I only gave birth a month ago and my baby bump still hasn't gone down but I've learnt that if I focus on the negative, then I will only end up being depressed but if I focus on loving myself for being me and for being a hero w
"This is so relaxing, I feel like I could just fall asleep right here," Mel commented while the lady softly massaged her shoulders and lower back, making her feel devine."I know right, if I had known this was the best way to escape the pressures of being a mom then I would have been a regular customer here," Veronica affirmed." Me too, I swear I didn't know professional massages were this calming and relaxing. The ones Jason gave me always led to something else," Sammy added.Melissa and Veronica giggled lightly while Mrs Leighton just chuckled."That's men for you, ask them to give you a massage and you will end up without any clothes In front of them," Mrs Leighton remarked and the girls just giggled again."Oh you guys, this has been the best day of my life. We should totally do this again sometime soon before my bump gets bigger,"" Yeah we will d
Kaden led her towards the table that held a beautifully decorated three layed cake and Melissa almost drool at the delicious goody but she controlled herself and the hunger that she was feeling.Just a few more minutes she silently told herself looking anywhere else but the cake."This small party is all about how much of a special person you are to us and each gift everyone will give you will represent a word that describes you okay," Kaden explained.He kissed her forehead and she smiled at him handing him the bouquet for safe keeping.Brandon was the first to step forward and stretched out a beautiful looking box full of different types of expensive chocolates towards her,Looking at the chocolate,Melissa grinned widely taking the box from him.She wanted to open it and take a bite right then and there but stopped herself so as not to embarrass herself in front of everyon
After they finished eating the cake, they all went to the dinning room which was already set with different types of food like, roasted beef, grilled chicken, vegetable salads, roasted potatoes and two bottles of champagne.They all sat down, and happily ate while laughing and joking around with each other.Once they were done, Kaden stood up with a glass in his hand followed by winking at Mel who giggled like a school girl, crushing on the star football player," I would like to make a toast to the most amazing and pretty girl in the room,"Everyone else stood up with their glasses full of champagne while they gave apple juice to Mel since Kaden didn't want her touching anything alcoholic."To Melissa Leighton for being an amazing wife and wonderful person!" He raised his glass."To Melissa Leighton!" everyone else chorused followed by drinking their champag
Mel stood up from her seat but the moment she was about to withdraw her hand from grandfather's, something shocking happened!!She stood there in shock with her eyes wide open staring at the old man who was still lying there unmoving,"Hey what's wrong are you okay?" Kaden asked with concern. Checking her to see if she was hurt."It's grandfather he --- he oh my gosh he is holding my hand look!" she said pointing at the hand and he indeed was holding it in a less tight grip." Oh God he is responding, grandfather can you hear me? Grandfather," Kaden excitedly said staring at his grandfather's face and minutes later the doctor walked in," I'm sorry but you have to give us some room so that we can do our work," he said."Sorry doctor but I can't do that look, he is tightly holding my hand," Melissa excitedly said."It's probably just
"Won't you wake up and scold me for crying like this? Please wake up grandfather, I want to hear you say------"" A leighton never cries," grandfather said his voice coming out hoarsey followed by coughing loudly,"Oh my gosh grandfather, you -- you are awake!" Brandon exclaimed in excitement looking around to see if there was any water but when he didn't find any, he ran out of the room going to call the doctor.Minutes later, he came back with the doctor and nurses following behind and grandfather wasn't coughing as hard as he was minutes ago.The doctor kicked both boys out of the room but instead of going back to the wait area, they stood by the door."Hey what happened? is everything okay? Why did you run off to call the doctor like that?" Kaden frantically asked."He woke up!" Brandon exclaimed again, "grandfather has finally woken up!"
The boys went in and Aiden quickly walked towards the bed siting close to him,"Grandpa why did you scare me like that? Didn't you think about my emotions at all," he complained while grandfather just chuckled ruffling his hair"Are you ever going to grow up? When I was your age I was more mature and less you.." he jokedBrandon and Kaden just laughed with Brandon siting on the bed while Kaden sat on the chair that Melissa sat on earlier."How are you feeling grandpa it's good to see you awake," Kaden said" I'm okay and it in deed feels good to be awake, I hated the fact that I could hear bits and pieces of everything but could get up or lift my finger."" You were hearing everything?" Aiden asked." Not everything only bits and pieces," he responded and Aiden's lips curved into a "O"The boys proceeded into telling him ever
Melissa was lying in bed with her head on Kaden's lap both of them in their own worlds staring at their phones.It had been a week since everything happened and grandfather got discharged from the hospital two days after he woke.They threw him a party were he declared that he was officially going to retire and leave his son and grandsons to take care of everything.Melissa's phone chimed catching the attention of Kaden, he stopped looking at his phone and looked at hers.It was a text message from an unknown number,Melissa opened the text and it said,Unknown: Hey"Who texted?" Kaden dumbly asked dispite seeing that it was an unknown number."I don't know," Melissa shrugged" And what did the text say?" He asked" It just said hey but I'm not responding," she said going back to scrolling through faceb*
