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
Chapter 53Two weeks later…Samantha JamesonPOV{Unknown number – Come on Sam, I want to see you. We can work something out. Don’t ignore me like this.}{Unknown number - I’ll be around the house later in the week so we can talk.}{Unknown number – I want to see you and Harriette. She’s still my daughter. No matter what she’ll always love me more than that scum you let hang around my daughter.}{Unknown number – Will you fucking answer me? You think you can just get married and play happy family with my child? I’ll kill him. I’ll fucking kill all of you!} {Unknown number – I’m sorry about my previous message. Please respond. I just want to talk to you will you be at the house?}I glance at my phone that won’t stop pinging. Great, just freaking great. The last thing I needed right now was Aaron’s craziness. The man has gone insane.I’m two weeks away from walking down the aisle and saying I do. I refuse to let Aaron take that moment away from me. He isn’t worth it. He isn’t worth my
Samantha JamesonPOV“Mommy! Mommy! Can you see? Can you see Craig is here.” Harry screams out excitedly as if Craig is a little kid I couldn’t see, Craig is 6’3 there’s no missing him. I could see him from a mile away.She pulls the door open and rushes out. He picks her up into his arms and throws her into the air her giggles fill the air.I couldn’t help a smile creep onto my face. I didn’t tell Craig about what happened today, and Aaron still hasn’t stopped messaging me. I blocked the number, but he just used another one. I have no idea why he’s being so weird lately.It’s so unlike him to care this much.“Mommy, mommy look Craig bought me a bag full of toys…” she says excitedly eyeing the bag Craig removes from his car.He takes out a bouquet of flowers out as well.Craig makes eye contact with me and winks. My mind blocks out Harry’s voice and I know how bad that sounds, I track him as he walks with her, and he doesn’t break eye contact as he speaks with her.When he walks in, h
his parents, and the reason I haven’t met any of his family.We talk a bit more and I tell him about my childhood, I’ve never been more grateful for my childhood. When you’re growing up you think rich people thinking they’ve got no problems. It’s not like that in reality, their problems are just different from the rest of ours. I’ve heard about Blake’s family problems as well.Craig pulls my feet onto his lap and massages my right foot first. I moan out, I didn’t realize my feet hurt. “So, Miss Jameson tell me what the most rebellious thing was you’ve done?” he asks me.“I used to sneak out to go to parties. And the type of parties you’re thinking about. I was in a puzzle club in high school, we’d get together on Friday nights, each week one of us would come up with a different puzzle for the lot to solve. One night my friend Stacy created a life-sized maze in her back yard we had to solve, it took us all night and I got caught. When my parents realized it was a geek party with no alc
Chapter 55Two weeks later.Julliet HarveyPOVMy aunt uncle requested to meet with Paige and I today, it was a little unexpected, it was a Monday afternoon, Paige had to take time off work to be here. Blake dropped me off an hour ago and we’re waiting for my uncle to wake from his nap. They said they wanted to speak to us. Have no idea what they wanted to talk about. But here we were waiting.Getting around was a lot harder now than it has been in months. I didn’t think it could get any worse, but boy was I wrong. It could get a lot harder than I ever expected. Getting out of bed was one of the biggest challenges I was facing.They were my only blood relatives left. My aunt and uncle and uncle raised me when my parents died. They were there for me at my lowest. At my worst. They never stopped loving me when I made one of the biggest mistakes of my life.“Oh, you girls are here? Why don’t we have lunch first and then we can talk?” my uncle walks down the stairs and when my eyes meet h
Chapter 56Blake DavenportPOVI run my fingers through my hair. I just dropped Julliet at her uncle’s place, I’m on my way to meet up with the guys, Craig gets married this weekend.Something like a bachelor party but not really just sitting in my apartment and drinking until we can’t anymore.I get out of my car when I spot Craig getting out of his car. I walk him.“You ready to drink until you faint?” I ask him.He looks up at me and smiles. “Motherfucker, we’re not drinking that much we all have work in the morning.”We walk in together and notice Aiden and Ryan waiting for us. We hugged the other guys, and we head up with the elevator together.We all sit down, talking about our lives and what we’ve been up to since we last saw each other.“So, you guys started without me. Should I be upset?” Garret asks walking in.We all look over.“We haven’t started drinking yet.” I tell him.He takes a seat beside me. “What’s up brother-in-law…” he greets me.I glare at him while the other g
The next morning…I knew my day was going to shit before I even opened my eyes.I was hung over I had no idea how I was going to get through a full day of work.I sit up and up my eyes. I see I’m sitting in the same spot I was last night. I look around at everyone in the room. They’re all still passed out.Grabbing my phone, I see its little after six. My eyes widen when I see I got messages and phone calls from not only Julliet, but her doctor, and her aunt and uncle.I call Julliet back first.Her phone goes to voicemail.I stand and call Paige. Julliet’s cousin.She answers. “Hello?” she answers on the third ring.“Hey, Paige it’s me did something happen to Julliet?” I ask him.“Oh yeah. Julliet’s in labor…” she says plainly before hanging up.My eyes widen. “What?” but I realized I was talking to myself.“What’s going on?” Craig asks.I look over at him. He’s standing up from the sofa.“Julliet’s in labor. I need to get to hospital…” I tell him. Picking up my coat from the ground.
Chapter 57Blake DavenportPOVWithin five seconds of watching up I’d known this day was going to go to shit, I’d woken up with one of the worst hangovers I’ve had since college.Then as soon as I’m up my phone is filled with messages and phone calls from half a dozen people. The one day I place my phone on silent enjoying a couple of drinks with my friends Julliet goes into labor without me.I should say thank fuck she hasn’t given birth yet, but fuck watching in how much pain she’s in every time she has a contraction and there’s nothing, I can do to ease her pain. We didn’t even have a birthing plan in place yet. The doctor hasn’t told us whether Julliet is safe to give birth naturally or not.I’m like a fish out of water and it sends a shiver down my spine. I have no idea what’s going to happen next, and I don’t like not being in control.I run my fingers through my hair, and I watch another wave of contractions hit Julliet.“How bad is it?” I ask brushing her hair out of her face,
