HUDSON’S POV “Daddy look! Is this, okay?” Mason called out, pointing to the assessment booklet he had been working on. I quickly leaned closer to check and amazingly, his calculations were just excellent! “Vey good, Mas!” I complimented loudly, my heart swelling with pride as I high fived him. “Very good! You calculated this nicely! Smart boy!” He smiled bashfully at my praise, the boyish features lighting up splendidly. “Aww, Masse is blushing!” Miley cooed from her spot not too far from us, her voice taunting. “No, I’m not!” Mason insisted hotly, cupping his cheeks with both hands. “Yes, you are! Look! His ears are turning pink!” Miley continued, making everyone look at Mason’s ears in that moment. And truthfully, they were indeed pink! His blue eyes turned to me in alarm, silently begging me to come to his rescue and I did just that. But after joining in on the giggles from the others for a bit, “Okay, okay that’s enough! Let’s not tease our smarty pants anymore” I voiced out,
ROB’S POV“You?”“What are you doing here? How did you find here?” He asked, his surprise mirroring mine as we faced each other right in front of the gates. With him standing inside, blocking the entrance and I, outside like a mail man.To say I was surprised would be an understatement at this point but still, I composed myself, acting as comfortable as possible. “Mr. Rodriguez, pleasant surprise!” I commented, stretching my hand for a handshake. It took a moment, but he eventually took my hand before ushering me inside.Once inside, I noticed just how different everywhere looked.Everywhere was all lit up and felt used. Like someone actually lived in the building unlike how it was before. Only after I heard the kids’ running upstairs that I fully understood what was going on. “I didn’t expect to see you here, Mr. Rodriguiez” I started, getting comfortable on the living room couch.“Neither did I!” he retorted, his face blank and yet his tone gave off hostility. Just like all the othe
THIRD PERSON POV“Mommy loves you,”“Daddy too.”“We love you, forever…” Valerie sang softly; her voice melodious as she cooed the kids to sleep. Smiling warmly, as she watched them drift off one after the other with no worries at all, causing a sudden calmness to wash over her in that moment. All three of her kids; Miley Miles and Mason alongside Aby were currently laying on the soft sheets of the king-sized bed in one of the guest rooms in the house outside the city.A guest room that had now been regarded as the children’s room ever since they moved in. It’s been almost two weeks now and so far, it was safe to say that they were pretty much a happy family at this point. The ideal family that Hudson, the kid’s father and Valerie’s lover has been dreaming about for a while now. On one hand, he was busy loving the arrangements, making plans for the next activity they could all do as a family, to bond more. And on the other hand, his dearest-Valerie was busy arranging moves that were
THIRD PERSON POV“Wah…what are you saying, miss Hernandez?” Mrs. Thompson asked carefully, making sure she didn’t hear wrong the first time. But Valerie only chuckled in response, “They live with me now, Mrs. Thompson.” She confirmed, “Didn’t Charlotte tell you? I thought you guys were close seeing as you got invited to her shopping mall party”Mrs. Thompson’s lips parted open in surprise, her eyes widening as she slowly pieced everything together. “Oh my God…” she whispered to herself, smiling with glee at the new found piece of information she had just gotten. An exciting piece of information, that was what this is!And just then a car horn sounded loudly from behind, signaling the line had began moving and Mrs. Thompson was in the way of others behind. With a gasp she faced a still smiling Valerie, “Errm, sorry Miss Hernedez! I have to go now, but it was so nice seeing you again!” she said, smiling from ear to ear like she just won a medal and Valerie simply nodded in response befo
HUDSON’S POV“Ma’am Valerie has already left the building, Sir!” the receptionist said, her features serious. Meaning she wasn’t trying to tell me off.But how could Val have left already, when we talked on phone just a few minutes ago? “Are you sure about this? She really left?” I pressed, urging the young lady for any information I could get out of her.But I guess it was futile cause she simply nodded her head as a positive to respond to me. “She came in earlier today, with a few cute kids and after a while, she left! I saw her myself, Mr. Rodriguiez. But I can schedule you a meeting though, you just have to-“No, no. No worries, I will just…contact her on phone” I said, waving off her polite gesture before turning away and out of the building. My legs, taking me to the parking lot. And as I did, the more worried I became. Continuously dialing her contact without getting a response. “Where are you, Valerie?” I grumbled, allowing the robotic voice fill the air again.But just as I r
HUDSON'S POVThe cop simply straightened up at my words. “I think you need to see this, sir” he said, pulling out his phone. “This is the CCTV footage from the building opposite yours, and as you can see these men were the culprits. They came in with vans, weapons…destroyed the place and left right after! Could be an enemy or a certain person that is currently not in good terms with you. But rest assured, we are taking care of it! We will find them and keep you posted on our findings, for now I will say be careful and not leave your kids at home!” he finished, taking back his phone.I didn’t even know what to feel given this new piece of information. I didn’t even know what to think!Just a few moments ago I had thought it was Charlotte pulling a stunt and wanting to find where we lived, but this? I didn’t expect this at all and the mere realization that the entire mess in our yard was caused by a strange group of men and not Charlotte left me feeling totally disorganized.“Can I have
VALERIE’S POV“You fool! What the hell is going on?!”“How the hell did your matter get to the news?!” Drake yelled out; his voice so loud that I winced a bit from it. That was to be expected though, considering I was listening in on his phone call with Charlotte through my secret room.“Dad, i-“Shut the fuck up! Just shut the fuck up! You’re so useless, you can’t even keep that arrogant bastard in check and yet you wanted to marry him?! You’re so useless!” he yelled, cutting her off.“I already called a person I know on the news channel, he promised to take the news down!” Charlotte defended; her voice stressed. But that was still not enough for Drake.“Take down? What’s the point of that?!” he yelled again, “Everyone has seen it already! Everyone is talking about it, even the maids here won’t stop chatting about it! My God… how did end up tied to this mess?! Just what is that Hudson up to?!”Charlotte groaned for a bit, her hands roaming her hair roughly like a mad woman. “Dad, plea
CHARLOTTE’S POV “Madame” “Madame…” Maria pleaded; her voice shaky as she held on to my phone while I vigorously switched between channels. My eyes glaring as I watched how far the news had spread on several stations. I’ve been at it for almost 5 minutes now, and so far, it seemed like every single channel just wanted to announce to the world that Hudson and Valerie had something going on! “Fucking morons!” I cussed under my breath as I passed through yet another channel! I couldn’t even believe it. How did everything become like this? How did everything turn like this?! Just a few days ago I had that bitch Valerie hunted down and I even got to know the house Hudson moved in with her. They had actually moved in together. Staying together, all happy…like a perfect family with their kids. The nerves! Here I was planning to show up at that stupid house of theirs, hoping to disagree with Hudson and have him leave with me plus, Aby. We would’ve been complete again… but rather, I woke

HUDSON'S POV“Angelina Rodriguiez.” Val whispered, “Angelina Rodriguiez, our Angel.”“Yeah,” I agreed softly, my eyes falling back on Val as I watched her smile fondly at the sleeping child just beside us in a crib. My heart warming as I took in the view- my queen staring at my angel.My queen… she had to be the most beautiful woman in the world, right? Cause how could she not be? I mean, look at her right now, it’s like she’s glowing. With this warm light all over her despite the tiredness at the edge of her eyes.She still looked so beautiful, so warm and strong.The strongest woman I have ever seen.Independent, smart, beautiful, elegant in every sense! An amazing mother too, birthing and raising 3 kids all alone for 5 years. Running an entire company by the side, while still looking so fit!A damn sexy ass boss, God!I could feel my heart swelling with pride the more I stared at her unsuspecting self. Taking in the artwork the heavens decided to bless me with… I was so damn lucky.
HUDSON'S POV“Our new guest has arrived!” The nurse gushed, pushing its wheels just beside Val. Where I had been occupying before now.“Awww, how precious!” Nanny Beth cooed softly, moving to towards it. Everyone doing so too, all except me. I just stood by the side, smiling as everyone got a view of our fairy.As if feeling everyone’s gaze, our baby stirred in her bundle. Her soft cooing’s filling the air, and getting several rounds of awwn from both Val and Nanny Beth. The rest just smiled, especially the men. James and Henry, whose eyes were already brimming with unshed tears.And as for the kids, “Is that… is that our baby sister, mommy?” Miley’s soft voice reached my ears, “Is that my baby sister?”“She’s so small,” Aby joined, her big eyes twinkling as the baby was lifted out of the crib and gently placed in Val’s arms.“And so shining,”“And pink!” Miley and Miles whispered at once, both of them lost in awe of the small being now brought directly in front of their eyes.“A tiny
HUDSON’S POV“The kids are safe! And so is Nanny Beth” I assured Val, trying to explain.“We had taken two cars, remember? We took two cars, mine and your Papa’s, because you couldn’t sit at the front due to pregnancy and we couldn’t all fit at the back seat with the kids. Me, you, your Papa, James and Nanny Beth all at the same time.”“Oh,” was all that left her lips, the memory coming back to her as she slowly relaxed back down on the bed. I didn’t want her moving or doing anything after everything she just went through from both the labor and with pushing out the baby.“We didn’t leave them, we just arrived here earlier than they did.” I continued, easing her down. “They will be here soon don’t worry. I just texted James the address.”She just nodded in response, her eyes looking a bit drowsy as she laid on the bed. “Is it okay if she sleeps? She looks really tired,” I asked a nurse, the only one still present.Apparently, she stayed back to keep watch and ensure Val’s vitals were
VALERIE’S POVSIX MONTHS LATER“Wah... what’s happening?”“Why isn’t the car moving anymore? Hudson!!” I screamed out his name, my breath both labored and unstable as I literally tried to hold onto anything for support. Anything at all, as long it could elevate the searing pain that seemed to tear through me at every 30 seconds.Just then, the car door flung open, presenting a very alarmed looking Hudson. “Val!” He cried out, slightly panicky at first to see me sprawled out on the back seat as I was unable to sit still anymore. “Val… love, we’re here. We’re here at the hospital; you will be fine. You will be totally fine!”“Oh God…” I moaned painfully as another wave of contraction hit me, not even letting me register the help Hudson’s hands wanted to give to me right now. Forcing me to slap him away as I cried out in pains. All I felt was pain, everything hurt!Every damned thing, and the more I stayed breathless on these back seats the crazier I became with pain. “Oh God, Huds…Hudson
HUDSON’S POV“I’m pregnant, Hudson!” her words echoed in my ears, my mind not believing it as I stood there watching her calmly reach the living room without me.Pregnant.Did she- did she just say she was pregnant?Like pregnant, we are having a baby pregnant?“Oh my God,” I found myself muttering, a smile slowly making its way to my lips as she winked at me from her spot on the couch. “Oh my… OH MY GOD!”At my outburst she chuckled, covering her lips to hide her smiles.I didn’t even realize when I started hurrying towards her, my steps literally the fastest i had been. Like ever!And when I reached her on the couch, I just tackled her to a hug. Uncontrollable laughter leaving my lips as I turned her over that she was on my chest. Her elated chuckles filling the air, matching mine, honey brown waves cascading all over us. Longer than I even remembered but I wouldn’t have it any other way.Something else was far more important. Way more important! We were having a baby! An actual baby
HUDSON’S POV“Mommy!!” they jumped on her all at once, her smiling face capturing my entire attention as I watched her leaned down to their level. Taking each kid in her arms and hugging tight as I they each threw themselves on her.“Mommy, you’re home!”“Mommy is home…” Miley cried shamelessly; her lips pushed to a big pout as she held on tightly to Val’s neck. “My mommy…”Val smiled bashfully, tears in her eyes as she took in the crying face of each child. Aby included. Everyone was crying right now, hugging her tightly even if they could barely fit. And she held them, a tear rolling down her cheek as she cooed softly. “Aww, my babies… my beautiful babies, aww…”Even her voice was like music to my ears, hitting me as I stood there. Barely able to stand erect without the support of the door. Good thing it was there, else I would’ve stumbled a few steps backwards at this point, and that wouldn’t have ended well.“I’m sorry. Mommy is so sorry for leaving, okay? I’m so sorry… I missed yo
HUDSON’S POV“PLEASE!”“I’m sorry, I’m sorry Hudson! I AM SORRY!!!” her screams echoed everywhere, loud enough to wake even the dead at this point. But somehow, none of it could bring any sort of calmness to my internal turmoil.If anything, it only irritated me all the more! My nose scrunching in distaste as I glared at her overly reddish skin. It was a wonder how they weren’t pilling off at this point, it was already her fifth dip today. And I still wasn’t satisfied.Normally, coming here and hearing her scream brought me some level of satisfaction. Soothing my mind even. But somehow today, that didn’t seem to be the case. The exact opposite was happening instead. Anger, irritation, disgust, boiling hot displeasure and a really tight scowl to top it off were all I felt watching this absurd scene of her crying and pleading.“It hurts…” she sobbed, hanging breathlessly on the iron bars as visible shock waves ran through her muscles. “Please… please I’m begging you, I’m begging you Huds
VALERIE'S POV“Just one? One heartbeat this time?” Papa inquired with a big smile, moving even closer to the screen as his teary eyes stared intently at them. The doctor just let him, chuckling even at his silliness.“Here, this is a print out of her. You can stare at her all day, sir!”“I can’t believe this, I can’t believe that bastard got you pregnant again without wasting time! Just what is he planning? To steal you away?!”Oh my goodness.His words made me to actually chuckle now as I watched him. My heart lifting, “Alright, that will be all!” The doctor announced, wiping off the jell on my belly as the smiling nurses wrapped up to go.Several do’s and don’ts were issued out for me, Nanny Beth actively taking notes too. While I just laid on the bed, relaxed with my hands wrapped around my belly. Papa just beside me, making calls to Toberto. Some excessive pregnancy routine coming up for sure, with these two warriors of mine.Looking at it now, I could actually feel a little bump f
