Charlotte's POV "Madame, you're bleeding!" Maria cried out, pointing at my legs. Like a movie I slowly looked down at my feet and there it was... small droplets of crimson blood pooling at my feet, seemingly coming from underneath my white dress that was now all dusty due to the mess I had caused in the room.The residue dust had rested on my dress, giving it a slightly dark look but despite that, it couldn't hide the droplets of blood on the white tiled floor.Panicky, I lifted my knee length dress to check and truly my legs were indeed stained with a longline of blood coming from my inner thighs. And instantly, my heart rate quickened, as several thoughts... several possibilities even raced through my mind.I didn't want to believe it, I didn't want to even think about it...but a certain thought kept nagging at me from the back of my head. Pressing forward and pushing itself above every other thought the more I stared at the line of blood slowly adding to the mini pool at my feet.
HUDSON'S POV "Mr Rodriguez, your daughter has the EUI condition" the doctor seated across from me said, his voice calm, as though giving me time to process his words.I slightly wet my lips and sat up on my chair, leaning closer to his desk to understand him better. "EUI? I don't -i don't understand doctor, what do you mean?" I asked, "What I mean is, your daughter is suffering from the EUI, Emotional Urinary Incontinence." He repeated, "Or simply put, it's the reason she pees/urinates on herself. EUI is a condition that is characterized by involuntary urination triggered by emotional stress, anxiety, or psychological distress."Huh?"Wh-what are you saying doc?" I stuttered, the words refusing to sink into my head. "What are you...do you...do you mean my little girl is sick? Are you telling me she's sick? Something is going on inside of her? Well then, fix it! Do what needs to be done, I can pay don't worry about the bills! I can pay...Just... Please... please save my babygirl plea
HUDSON'S POV The minute the front doors opened and I stepped inside with Aby safely secured in my arms, the maids fluttered to the entrance, relief and worry etched in most of their features. "G-good morning Sir!" They greeted eagerly, a few bowing a bit."Good morning ma'am Aby!" I took a clean sweep of them, noting Charlotte's personal maids were not present before I finally nodded as a reply to their greetings. "Ma'am Aby?" A slightly chubby maid called out, she looked to be in her mid forties or so but yet held a warm aura around her.I quickly recognized her as the one in charge of Aby's meals and bath time, she literally did everything for her, everything her mother should be doing. "Are you okay, Aby? Hm?" She asked softly while itching closer, anyone could see how hard she was fighting back her tears as her lips trembled continuously."Are you feeling better now? I'm so sorry I left you alone Aby, I had to tend to the laundry. I-I shouldn't have left you... I shouldn't have..
Charlotte's POV "You want another child when the first one you had you don't even know the food she likes?! You don't know the color of dress she likes, you don't know how she's doing at school, you don't know who her friends are, you don't even know if she has friends! Fuck! You literally know nothing about her!! And you want more babies?! Are you crazy?! WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU?!" He boomed, his voice echoing loudly in the house.Instinctively, myself and the other maids flinched backwards. Each of them scurrying away to safety, leaving me all alone to bare the heat of his piercing glare. "I just told you that YOUR daughter, OUR child, was admitted to the hospital all night! Without her mother, and what you have to say to me is that you don't care? You! Her mother, don't care? That you - hold on, what did you say again? That you care more about a dead baby? No, a miscarriage! A barely two months miscarriage than your 5 year old child, that is alive and strong?! Is that what
Charlotte's POV My whole body trembled as my brain made more and more analysis, terrifying analysis that scared the shit out of me as I watched Hudson come close to me on the floor, closer than before.Soon the strange anxiety got the best of me, and I found myself shaking. It was so bad that my fingers wouldn't stay still, I had to quickly bind them together in other to remain comported, to not fall apart as my thoughts ran wild in my mind.I couldn't even tell what I was more terrified of now between Hudson gaining knowledge of Valerie and those evil creatures or him not wanting me anymore. But one thing was a fact, I couldn't loose Hudson no matter what, I couldn't bear to let him dislike me!No matter what we had to be together. We had to make things work...we had to get married like I initially planned. That was the only way to keep him to myself and I would do anything to make that happen. Finally, he reached me and let his eyes roam my face for a moment as he squatted to my l
VALERIE'S POV I stood there clenching my fists in anger as I watched her stupid blonde hair disappear from sight and out of my yard, taking with her that poisonous looking maid.The entrance gates jammed with a clicking sound, signalling it had been locked before I turned on my heels, storming back inside. "Let's go inside Nanny," I called out, not bothering to spare a glance her way because I knew she would be right behind me.My strides were brisk and purposeful as I headed straight for the kitchen to pour myself a drink, cause the Lord knows I needed it!Who would've thought my day will get so ruined? Who would've thought Charlotte would confess such evil deeds right in my face! It was like she was daring me, putting up a show... just to spite me. To show she had the upper hand!She had done so much evils and did not once get caught, noticed or even suspected! That was why she was so bold and careless to admit her crimes, isn't it?She feels I wouldn't be able to do anything abou
Valerie POV "Good morning ma'am!" A voice greeted cheerily the minute I stepped my foot out of my room, I hadn't even shut my door yet before she greeted. Clearly startled, by the sudden greeting, I turned to it's direction and saw it was one of the maids Papa sent over let. We shared a small laugh once our eyes met, partly because of how startled i was. I almost dropped my bag, "Good morning Gloria, sleep well?" I asked, still smiling She nodded eagerly and resumed her chores while I headed downstairs. Taking my time so as not to slip with my heels, Miles has a habit of always stepping out of his room while brushing his teeth, so most times he ended up leaving drops of water everywhere he goes during that time and the stairs were no exception. My heels clicking the steps must've been so loud cause by the time I took the last flight of stairs, I had quite an audience waiting for me at the foot of the stairs. A proud looking Miley, dazed Miles and a not so happy Nanny Beth,
VALERIE'S POV The drive to the office didn't take so long that in about 40 minutes time I was already inside De Hernandez Dreamz building and heading for my office while nodding to the series of greetings I received.I was seriously considering changing my office or at least the route to my office, because the amount of greetings and attention I get each time I came in was alarming. It was almost as if everyone knew when exactly I was coming and position themselves to be in my face. I get it though, everyone was currying favour and all but then, I would love to keep my schedules private. Who knows, I might end up seeing something that I wouldn't see on a normal day because they were not expecting me.I should talk to Rob about it. Speaking of Rob, I didn't see him in his office as I passed to mine.I was about to wonder where he went until I opened the door of my office and an all too familiar scent of a coco cologne hit my nostrils, it could only belong to him. I took a deep inhale

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
