"What's wrong, darling. Don't you want to go to Gabby's place anymore?" Terrence asked softly as he sat on her bed and placed Sophie on his lap.
This is very strange as Sophie was the one who was over the moon yesterday when Terrence informed her that they would be going over to Gabby's place for dinner tonight.
"I'm not happy, Daddy. This shoe doesn't fit me anymore." Sophie said sadly as she looked down at the shoe.
Terrence took a glance at the shoe and saw that it was her favorite pair of shoes. It couldn't fit her anymore because she had outgrown it.
"Don't be sad my love; I will get you another one," Terrence said.
"But I love this shoe" Sophie whispered, not taking her eyes off the beauty.
"I know, sweetheart but it no longer fits you. Yo

I need to see Gabby," Terrence said to Ian who was going over the report of their new project."Sure, bro. We still have about a 20 minutes break before the Shanghai investors arrive." Ian replied."Oh, thank goodness. I will be right back." Terrence walked out of Ian's office, took the lift to the third floor where the human resource department was."Hi, Katherine. Is Gabby in?" Terrence asked."No, sir. She stepped out about an hour ago." Katherine replied."Did she by any chance tell you where she was going?""No. But she said she won't be back to the office until tomorrow."

DAYS LATERThings have been going on well with the Tennon's. Gabby and Terrence went for another checkup a few days after Sophie's birthday and Sophie was opportune to go along with them this time around. Thankfully, the baby was healthy and growing but it would take a few more weeks before the sex could be detected. Sophie had a strong feeling that the baby was going to be a girl even when Terrence tried to convince her that the baby might just be a boy. Whatever gender, Terrence and Gabby seem to be okay about it, so long as the baby was healthy. Everyone in Sophie's class now knows that Sophie was a soon-to-be big sister. The little girl just couldn't keep calm about the news. She wants the baby to come out already.Gabby and Terrence woke up very early this morning since they had a board meeting to attend. They even had to skip breakfast to be able to meet up with the meeting. So Michelle would be the one to drop Sophie at school today.Sophie, o

A FEW NIGHTS LATERTerrence was asleep when he heard someone let out a scream. He sat up immediately and saw that Gabby was no longer by his side. He looked towards the bathroom, the door was opened and the light was on.He set the duvet aside and walked as fast as his legs could carry him to the bathroom. What he saw made his world crumble; Gabby was on the floor. He rushed to her and raised her head which he put on his lap."Gabby, are you okay?" Terrence panicked,Gabby slowly opened her eyes, she brushed her hands through her inner thigh and showed Terrence. Blood; she was bleeding."Ss...save..m..my..baby, Terrence." She said weakly as she gradually closed her eyes.Terrence lifted her in his arms and ran out of the bathroom. He got his car keys and headed to the car immediately. He carefully placed Gabby in the back seat before running over to the driver's seat and started the car. Thank goodness Sophie wasn't at home with

A MONTH LATERA very huge smile found its way to Terrence's face as he noticed something Gabby had not yet noticed."What are you smiling at?" Gabby chuckled as she stood across the bed in her shorts and PJ shirt.Terrence went over to where she was standing and led her to the front of the mirror. Gabby was at the front while Terrence was behind her. He raised her shirt a little and Gabby screamed, covering her face with her hands which made Terrence laugh out loud.Gabby's baby bump was now visible, you can even tell from afar that she was pregnant."Stop laughing at me." Gabby groaned as she playfully hit him on his chest."I'm really happy, sweets; our baby is showing itself already." Terrence grinned."But my stomach wasn't like this last night," Gabby said as she lovingly caressed her belly with her right hand."I know, It's a miracle what a woman's body can do" Terrence placed his hand on Gabby's bump."How did you

THE DUE DATE-------- HER BIRTH"I can't do this anymore Terrence; It is so painful," Gabby said in tears."You can, Gabby. You are the strongest woman I know. I can see her head. Just a few more pushes and you will be holding her in your arms." Terrence encouraged.It kills Terrence to see Gabby in so much pain with him unable to do anything rather than standing there and holding her hand, whispering encouraging words into her ear.God bless all our Mothers!And Yes, Sophie was right all along. They later found out they would be having a girl and Sophie was very thrilled. She insisted that she wants the baby to share her room with her but Terrence and Gabby refused.They decided the baby will stay in their room for the first few weeks of its birth and will be transferred to the nursery later on. Then maybe when the baby clocks one, she can now share a room with Sophie.Sophie was grumpy at first but later agreed to t

THREE MONTHS AND SOME WEEKS LATER"Maybe I should just cancel the whole thing," Lawrence said. The thought of not seeing Maddie and Luis for a few days was making him go crazy."You should go, honey. We will be fine." Madiana assured as she placed Luis on her chest. The little boy was playing with her hair, trying to put it in his mouth but she was preventing him from doing so.Lawrence was to go on a trip to Paris for some business deal. He was representing his father's company since he was a partner there.When his father informed him about the trip, he was reluctant to go, telling his father to go himself or appoint someone else to represent the company.His father, Liam, chuckled at his reply because he knew his son was reluctant to go because he didn't want to leave Madiana and Luis behind.But he had no choice because this deal was a very important one and he only trusts his son to make the best of it.

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

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

"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.

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

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.
