Chapter 48Julliet HarveyPOVI suck my lips in, my airpods in my ears listening to Taylor’s 1989 album.I tie my hair into a high ponytail.I’ve got a shoot today with Blake for our pregnancy shoot. I’ve gotten so big that it’s hard for me to do things and go out. Being pregnant isn’t fun and with Blake being gone not only last weekend but he decided to stay in Miami the entire week. I realized how much the couple meant to him; I didn’t think he’d be this close to his wife’s parents.He’ll be coming home today for the shoot. Or at least I pray he is, I don’t want to do it alone.I sigh walking up to Blake’s closet. Grabbing one of his black t-shirts. I place it on, it’s starting to fit a lot snugger than I’d like. Placing on one of his grey sweatpants as well.I’m out the door later than I should be.My driver Harris opens the door for me, and I get in at the back. Blake got me a driver as soon as I moved in. He didn’t feel comfortable with me driving while I’m pregnant. He hired a s
Chapter 49 Blake DavenportPOVI dropped Julliet at home, and I decided I wanted to visit Rene’s grave, Julliet and I have been together for so long and I know I want us to straighten out things before our girls are born. I want our girls to live in a happy home where both parents love one another.It's not lost on me that Julliet has feelings for me. I know she does. She told me she didn’t expect anything from me though. She just wanted to be honest with me. She knew I still loved Rene and she knew it would be hard for me to move on from Rene.I run my fingers through my hair and finally got out of my car, I’ve been sitting in my car for a half an hour now, I close the door behind me and lock the car, and I walk into the graveyard.My feet lead me to her final resting place. I place the flowers by her headstone.I sit down on her grave and lean against her headstone. I close my eyes. It’s been so long since I’ve been here and didn’t burst into tears. When Rene died, I got a single g
Julliet HarveyPOVWhen we get home Blake asks me if he can speak to me after he gets back, so I took a shower and got comfortable while I waited for him.I have no idea what he wanted to speak about. I’m on my nerves. We haven’t had a conversation in a while now, not since he found out I was pregnant. What the hell did he want to speak about?I don’t know how to feel. Should I feel anxious? Is he going to tell me he couldn’t do this? That he needed his space.Do I feel anger that he’s waiting months before I’m going to pop these kids out and he was going to tell me something devastating?I sigh turning the television off, I wasn’t even watching anymore. watching Miss Americana has always brightened my mood but I couldn’t even focus on the show."Julliet!" Blake calling brought me out of my thoughts.I stand and make my way down the stairs. “Coming!” I call back.I needed new clothes, I knew that, soon Blake’s shirts wouldn’t fit me anymore.I’ve been living in dresses and Blake’s clo
Chapter 50One month later...Dianna DavenportPOVI sit in a crowded room and you’re the only thing in my mind. I’ve always felt alone in this world. My brother always just fit in, Blake was great at everything, I was the little sister who liked for follow him around, now I’m used to being in front of a camera, but being in a crowded room, I like blending into the background.Which leads to the thought why do am I thinking about being in crowded room and thinking about Garret? Last night I was invited to an event and all I could think about was seeing Garret today.It made me realize I was so far beyond being in love with this man that I am constantly thinking about him, feeling alone without him.Since we’ve been dating for a little over a month, we thought it would be a great idea for him to meet my family. We’re starting off easy today, starting with Blake. Garret and Grayson are officially meeting my brother and his girlfriend.Yes, Blake and Julliet have made their relationship
Garret VanderbiltPOVI watch Grayson and Ryan speak about hockey; Ryan is well known for playing hockey in college he’d gone into writing instead of going into hockey.Dianna and her brother are in an argument about his cooking ability.Craig takes a seat beside me. “So, you and little Davenport huh?” he smiles.“Who would have guessed. I always thought she’d end up dating a banker or an actor. Imagine my surprise when she brings home a realtor.” He says looking at Dianna.“What’s wrong with a realtor if that’s what I was?” I ask him.He shakes his head. “Nothing, but you’re not her type. If I’m being honest. The woman has gone from dating influencers, actors, models to dating you, so I find it hard to believe you run in the same circles she does.” He says.I roll my eyes. “Why is this important?” I ask him.He doesn’t say anything… He just smiles before he gets up and walks over to his woman.I watch how everyone interacts with one another. Paige Julliet’s cousin I’ve been told, and
Chapter 51One week laterGarret VanderbiltPOVI’m currently meeting my girlfriend’s mother and her stepbrother, his daughter and partner. Grayson is spending the night at Sarah’s not because we wanted to keep him away from Dianna’s mother, but he was supposed to spend the weekend with them anyway. As much as he wanted to stay with us, he hasn’t been going over there since Dianna and I made it official. I haven’t dated since Sarah and meeting her parents were easier since we were already pregnant.Her mom is really sweet and so is her stepbrother Brandon and his husband. They have a daughter Madison and she’s a little spit fire she’s stuck to Blake’s side from the time they arrived. She’s on his lap, she leans against his chest as he eats and talks.I watch how Julliet looks at them. She must be imagining their daughters doing the same.“So, Garret what do you do?” Avery Davenport asks.“I’m at Real estate agent, actually own my own agency and I rarely do houses myself now…” I tell h
Meanwhile in Blake’s bedroom.Dianna DavenportPOV"So why did you drag me into this room?” I ask my brother as I walk over to his bed and sit down.Blake glares at me. “Of all the men in the city you had to fall for a man who was not only married before but has a kid?” he seethes.I glare right back at him. “So, your problem is that Garret was married before and that he has a child?” I ask."Dianna." He warns.I shake my head. “So, you’re mad that man who married the girl he got pregnant? You’re mad that he stepped up to the place when he was still child and stayed married to her until she fell in love with someone else while he stayed single for the sake of his child? Or that he didn’t want to date in fear that that women would mistreat his child. Please tell me where you think any part of Garret should be hated?" I ask him."He didn’t protect you from the media..." he defends.I look at my brother I’ve never known him to be unreasonable but what the fuck is going on with him? “Now
Chapter 52 Samantha JamesonPOVI walk out of my childhood home and make my way to the back yard. I sit down on the swing my father built for Harry when he found out I was pregnant. My parents have always supported me, I have so many found memories of this house, I’ve yet to tell them about my latest pregnancy. It was a surprise for sure.But Craig has been nothing but supportive and he has been with me through everything, We’ve waited to tell my parents with everything going on and with Aaron losing custody of Harry and harassing me constantly.He wasn’t even on her birth certificate. The judge was reported and lost his license and job. The money he was given was taken away as well.I couldn’t be happier. I can’t wait to tell my parents about Craig and I getting married in a month and us having a baby. Samantha Blackwell has a nice ring to it doesn’t it? I couldn’t help smiling.“Bringing Craig over means the two of you have gotten closer.” My mother walks over sitting beside me.I
