Lawrence jumped up from the couch he was sleeping on when he heard a very loud cry. It was Ava's scream which overtook the beeping sound of the Monitor.
He walked as fast as his leg could take him towards Ava who was lying on the hospital bed in tears as she clutched her chest tightly. She was in pain.
Lawrence panicked and ran out of the room to get help.
Eventually, he was able to get a Doctor and a nurse who followed him immediately to Ava's ward. But they told him to wait outside the ward as they attended to her.
Lawrence had never been so scared in his life as he was now. He prayed nothing happened to Ava. He was just getting to know her and he couldn't afford to lose her now. Besides, Luis needed his mother.
About 12 minutes later, the Doctor came out from Ava's ward and Lawrence turned to him for answers
"Will she be okay?" He asked in fear.
"We are losing her Mr. Williams. But She said she wants to have a word with you. I'm so
"I will miss you so much, honey." Dr. Peters said and kissed Luis's left cheek.The little guy has proven to be a strong baby. He has added enough weight and he was also healthy, ready to be discharged."I'm sure he will miss you too." Lawrence chuckled as he watched Doctor Peters play with Luis in her arms."So I guess you are ready for this." Peters smiled as she turned to take a look at Lawrence.He has been learning about babies for the past one week; reading books, watching a lot of helpful videos and Doctor Peters also helped him out with what to do which also included how to make Luis formula in the right way."I suppose I am." Lawrence chuckled as he playfully scratched the back of his head."You don't have to worry about his health. We did a test and his heart is healthy. Just make sure you follow all the precautions I have given you and everything will be fine." Peters assured.Lawrence nodded."Alright then, I
"I miss them already." Madiana sighed over the laptop as her sister chuckled."Maddie, but you just saw them about two hours ago." Madiana's elder sister, Linda exclaimed."How are they? Are they asleep already?" Maddie asked her sister with so much excitement in her voice.Trust me, no one loved children more than Maddie. That was one of her weaknesses. She had a soft spot for kids and wouldn't hesitate to play with them.Madiana had spent the weekend in her elder sister's home, taking care of Linda's kids, Kyle and Stormi.Linda had begged her younger sister Maddie to come help take care of her kids as she and her husband, Collins traveled to celebrate their wedding anniversary.Maddie was thrilled to look after her sister's children for the weekend and she had fun with them. She just returned to her apartment and she misses the two little cuties already."They are fine. Collins is preparing them for bed." Linda replied with a smile
Madiana groaned as she heard the sound of her alarm. She reluctantly sat up and quickly said her morning prayers, committing the day to God's hands. After that, she stood up from her bed and arranged it before heading to the bathroom to get ready for the day.She eventually decided to wear a black dress and moved to the mirror side to apply her makeup.She smiled at herself in the mirror as she was satisfied with her look. She then walked towards her bedside, sat on the edge as she slipped on her heels.Maddie reached for her handbag, laptop bag and car keys and found her way to the exit.Madiana arrived at the office earlier than expected because there was less traffic on the road. She entered the office building then proceeded to the fifth floor. That was where her office was. Well, The Bosses and Secretaries office was located on the fifth floor of the building.Madiana entered her office and saw a cup of coffee on her table. She smiled at that.
Lawrence was able to get so much work done while Madiana watched Luis and did her work at the same time. He admired her for being an expert in multitasking.When lunchtime came, she still insisted on being with Luis. Saying the little boy was keeping her company. So Alice, Ethan's secretary, brought Lunch to Maddie in her office and they spent lunch together with the two ladies gushing over baby Luis...........................Lawrence sighed as he plopped down on the couch in his living room. He had just put Luis to bed. Since Luis was now in the picture and he cared so much for his son, he had to vacate work early, unlike those days where he would stay in his office and work till almost midnight.Being a single parent was really hard. Especially when he never saw it coming and had no time to prepare.Lawrence remembered Ava today when he was getting Luis ready for bed. He wondered what it would have been like if Luis had his mom around.L
"That was emotional. I'm so happy for you guys." Madiana told her Boss with a sad smile on her face.She had accompanied him to the board meeting at his father's company. Lawrence was a partner there so his presence was required and he took Maddie along.After their meeting in the conference room, Liam, Lawrence's father had invited Lawrence into his office while Maddie waited for him outside the office.Both father and son resolved their differences. Not like they actually fought, but Lawrence was very close to every member of his family. They all felt it during the past few days when he distanced himself from them.Lawrence explained the whole situation to his father. Liam comforted his son and gave him the advice he needed and also made it known that he was looking forward to meeting his grandson.And Lawrence promised that he and Luis would be there at the next family dinner.Madiana did not mean to eavesdrop. The two men were just loud
THE FAMILY DINNERLawrence spent Saturday doing some work. He also spent some quality time with Luis, his son.When it was almost evening, he began preparing for their dinner which was to take place at his parents' mansion. He still had to pick Maddie on his way. So Lawrence dressed up in something casual, he arranged Luis's baby bag and got him ready.When Lawrence got to Maddie's apartment, He couldn't go down to knock on her door because Luis was sleeping in his car seat. He couldn't leave him alone in the car.So he called Maddie on the phone saying that they were already outside.Once he saw her walk out of her apartment and approach his car, Lawrence got down and assisted her in opening the door to the front passenger's seat.She blushed a little, thanking him and once She was settled, he went back to the driver's seat."You look beautiful, Maddie. I think black colors fit you best, ''he said."Thanks, Mr. Williams.
DAYS LATERMadiana was engrossed with the work she was doing on her laptop. She was distracted when there was a knock on the door.She looked up and saw it was her Boss, Lawrence.He came in and took a seat opposite her."I have to leave for Luis's Doctor's appointment. I will be back as soon as I can.""No problem." She replied and before she could say anything else, they were both interrupted by the door opening and someone entering.It was Ethan. He was holding a gift bag."Hi, buddy." He greeted Lawrence as he took a seat beside him."And here's for the birthday girl," Ethan placed the gift bag on the table and pushed it towards Madiana."It's your birthday?" Lawrence asked, shocked.She nodded."Why didn't you tell me?" He asked slightly upset, which made Maddie nervous."Calm down dude. Do you expect her to start announcing it to everybody?" Ethan chuckled. He could sense that his best friend w
Madiana slept and woke up with a smile on her face. In all her 25 years of existence, yesterday was the best birthday she ever had. All thanks to Lawrence, her Boss, her Boyfriend.Yes, she had said yes to him. She liked Lawrence since the first day she set her eyes on his picture. That was even before she got the job as his secretary.The last time Madiana dated someone was in College. But she swore that this time around, it was going to be different. She liked Lawrence a lot and she would do all that it took to make him happy and Luis also.Madiana got up from her bed and proceeded to the bathroom to do her morning rituals. She got dressed in a black pencil skirt and a white button-up shirt. She applied some makeup, slipped her feet into her heels, and grabbed her handbag and car keys.She rarely eats breakfast except during the weekend. She hoped Alice, Ethan's Secretary would grab a coffee for her today like always.Madiana got out of the eleva
