Steph had decided to attend one of Georgia's classes today. She hadn't attended in a while and the last one had been really helpful to her.

She arrived quiet early and the women were all still sitting down and class hadn't started.

She looked around and realized that everyone was with their husband. She felt even worse and would have gone back home if not that the driver had to be somewhere.

She wasn't comfortable at first, sitting and since there was no familiar faces and the person who had given her a mat the other day too wasn't there.

She decided to eventually sit since she couldn't go back home and that was her only option.

She dropped her stuffs close to her and sat on the vacant sit available.

"Hey," one of the ladies said. Steph hadn't initially realized that she was talking to her.

"I am Frida," the lady said and then Steph turned to the side realizing she was probably talking to her.

"Hello," Steph said back.

"We heard your husband is in the military, is that true?" Sh

    After the previous day, Alex had been doing a lot of thinking. It scared him more than it excites him but he was wanting it more than he initially did.Alex sat on the couch in the living room. He held the picture from the scan that Steph had given him since the other day. He hadn't opened it since then and had decided to have a look at it now.He dropped the glass of wine that was in his hands on the table next to him. He brought the films out of where it was kept and he stared long into the pictures.He could delineate some parts of the pictures and how curled up like a seed the baby was in it. He was fascinated by it."It looks unreal right?" Alex turned his head to see who it was that spoke and saw that it was Lucy.Lucy moved towards where he was sitting and sat next to him."Yes, it does," he said."She held my hands on her tummy yesterday and I felt the baby kick. It felt magical," Alex explained and Lucy could see the spark in his eyes when he spoke about it."It is. That's h

    “Are you ready to go?” Alex asked Steph who was sitting on the couch already dressed to leave. She had missed feelings about Alex going with her. She had always wanted him to but this time she wasn’t sure, also since she was trying to avoids being in same space as him. Steph stood from where she was sitting, closed the book she had been reading and picked up her bag. She adjusted her dress, which had moved up a bit due to her belly size now. Steph and Alex got into the car. The drive to the hospital was quiet and neither of them spoke. Steph didn’t know if it was the right time to bring up what Lucy had asked her to. She didn’t want to spoil the moment or trigger him to get angry at her. Steph turned to look out through the window that was rolled up. She didn’t want to look in his face, it was dreamy and she knew she would easily get lost in it. She wasn’t making any progress letting go of her feelings for him. With each passing day, she figured that she wanted him clo

    Steph and Alex walked quietly into the burial ground where his dad was being buried. He was in a black suit and Steph was in a black gown which she had complimented with a black hat. Alex’s mum had arrived earlier and was there before they arrived. They walked over to were Alex’s mum was and Steph had held onto Alex’s hand. Mostly to show him that she was there with him to support him and also it just felt so nice to her.“Hey, mum,” Alex said, after they got to where his mum was.His mum also had a black gown on. Most people there wore similar things.His mum pulled him in for a hug, she knew even though he was trying to be strong, he still had a soft spot for the man. She knew it and even though she wished he had reached out to him before he passed, there was nothing she could do to help him.“Hello,” Steph said to Alex’s mum.“Hey,” she said back. Steph still didn’t know how to be with her. They have never had a conversation together and when they met they always only said “hello

    Steph looked around the house, seeing all the beautiful decorations. They were too lovely and wanted to make her cry. She held it in and was just really happy. “It’s really beautiful right?” Lucy said and Steph nodded her head in agreement.

    Oliver entered into the car. He couldn't help but wonder what it was going to be about. He wasn't so familiar with them and even at the event, they had not really spoken, so he wondered what they wanted from him. Oliver sat at the back with both of them. He hadn't known that Luna and Frank were close and he had only even heard about Luna from when she and Mia were talking about her. "What's it you guys want from me," Oliver asked."Chill, we will speak. Don't rush. We will explain it all to you."Oliver began to wonder what it might have been about. "We know you like Steph," Luna stated.Oliver said nothing, wondering what she was trying to bring out from the conversation."What do you mean?" Oliver said, acting oblivious."We know you really like her and this whole thing with Alex, you're not in support of it. I know you have always liked her. She has always seen you had just a best friend but we know you have always liked her," Luna explained.Oliver wondered how they knew all

I told him what his role his and how he is going to help us make it work.”“Do you think we can trust him?” Luna asked. She was still so skeptical about adding Oliver to the plan. She didn’t think it was so necessary. “We don’t have a choice at this point. He is the only one we have,” Frank said and Luna knew that he was right. They needed someone on the inside and Oliver was the only one who could help with the work.“What if he plays funny and turns ag

    Steph lay her head on Alex's laps as they both watched "friends" for the 100th time.

    Steph stretched her hands to the other side of the bed and then she realized there was no one there. She sat upright on the bed, rubbing her eyes with her fingers.

Steph asked, looking up at Alex.Alex sat next to Steph on the chair."The police have already gotten to where Frank and Mia are," he explained.Steph sighed."That's a sign of relief at least.""What they did is crazy, I don't know why Frank would do that to me. He is supposed to be my best friend," Alex said. He was really pained and had expected so much more from his friend."I can't believe Oliver too. Is the police going to get him too? Steph asked.Even after all the terrible things he did. She still cared for him. "We don't have enough evidence on him yet so it's only if Frank and Luna drag him along with them," he explained."First, she lied about being pregnant and all and now this? I can't believe that both of them would do such to me. That's really desperate," he added."What did Leslie say about Isabella? Will you two be able to get her back?"
