Chapter 89Blake DavenportPOVI park my car in the garage before stepping out. I lock up the house before making my way upstairs to the girls. Opening the girl’s bedroom door, I’m surprised to see the room empty. I was sure they weren’t downstairs.Where were the girls? Our bedroom? I push open our bedroom door. “Where are the…” my words stop dead short as soon as I lay eyes on Julliet sitting legs open in nothing but a fucking teddy.Jesus Julliet. “Wha-what’s going on, where are the girls?” I ask.She smiles. “They’re spending the night with your mother so we can have some alone time.” she stands and walks over to me.My eyes trail over her length, she hasn’t worn heels in months and God it’s sexy.I can hardly believe she’d give birth three months ago. Hell, if I wasn’t in the room I wouldn’t believe she’d given birth to twins at all.“So, the girls are by my mother?” I ask.She nods biting her lip.I swallow hard.She walks up behind me and massages my shoulders. “How about we pl
Blake’s tongue brushes against my clit, I feel myself tighten around his finger as an orgasm rushes through my body.Trembles run through my body.When I come to Blake is on top of me.“God, I love you and I love the look on your face when you’re cuming. So sexy…” Blake says.My hair was sticking to my face and my back. I was a freaking mess.Blake trusts himself into me, I cry out since I was still sensitive.“You good baby?” he asks.I nod.“Your tongue…” he tells me.I do as he says, he kisses me thrusting his tongue into my mouth.He thrusts harder and faster; my mouth falls open my head falls back, and I see stars.He massages my boobs. I thrust my hips upward into him.“Jullz…” Blake groans out.My body tenses as another orgasm runs through me. My body was exhausted, I’d lost all control over my body as he thrusts into me, I feel my body spasm. Oh, my legs were going to hurt in the morning.I wrap my legs around his hips, my heels digging into his ass.“God baby you feel amazing
Chapter 90Kendell MarksPOVI’m sitting on my bed in my apartment thinking where my life has gone, I’ve never trusted a man like I did Ryan and he still stabbed me in the back. To think I was excited and freaked out about an engagement but when we were having dinner together and I was in his room it was gone. It was gone out of the box, all I found was an empty box.The ring missing. I knew. I just knew, he must have given it to another woman. A woman he loves. Someone befitting him.Not me a nobody.I’ve always knew I’d end up alone, I was happy that way. I’ll be the cool aunt to Julliet’s children; I’ll always be there for my best friend.I’ll be there when Julliet needs me, I’ll be her shoulder to cry on at moment’s notice.I want to forget I’ve ever even met Ryan. Ryan Rodgers is so far out of my league I’d need a plane to even get close to him.We met by chance, if Blake had asked someone else to do the interview would we still have met? Would he be dating the other reporter ins
Chapter 90-2One week laterKendell MarksPOVFor the past week Julliet has been following Ryan, and today is the first day I tagged along. I didn’t want to know if he was cheating on me or not. I just wanted it to be all over.She’s informed me he wasn’t cheating, Ryan’s been busy researching a new book. He has been his entire week out here. In the middle of nowhere. He has been asking the town folk about life out here and has been saying in a fixer upper which he has been repairing in his free time.It doesn’t explain the ring, but Julliet believes there’s a reasonable explanation.Do I feel better? No. He might be busy with his next book, but it doesn’t mean he doesn’t have another woman. He might just be too busy for her.We’re in a small town just outside of LA it’s a three hour drive out to and from everyday and Julliet has been doing it everyday for the past week.I could never say that Julliet never has my back. This proves she would do anything for me.Of course, the princess
Chapter 91Two months later.Garret VanderbiltPOVTomorrow is my wedding day and that’s the last thing on my mind today. Dianna just told me she was pregnant yesterday. I’m going to be a dad again. I almost can’t believe it. I thought it won’t take longer for us to fall pregnant.But knowing our baby will grow up with a group of friends makes me feel so much better. Julliet’s twins, Hallie and Haisley, plus she’s also pregnant right now, exactly two months pregnant from what Blake told me last week. Paige Julliet’s cousin gave birth to a girl Calista a month ago, and Samantha gave birth to a boy Remington three weeks ago. They’re both attending the wedding today with their families. I’m grateful to have friends who’d put their lives on hold to be there for your special. My own family didn’t show up for my big day. But I didn’t need them, I have my friends who love and support me just fine.I’m going to be a dad again. God, I feel too old to be a father again, but I can’t help but be
"Thank you, Garret… " she thanks me.We walk into the hospital and to the maternity ward.I pull Dianna in front of me when we step into the elevator.“You’re still good my love?” I ask her.She leans her back against my chest and nods her head. “Don’t worry about me. I’m good."I love you with all my heart and soul, my inside’s burn for you. I will always love you and the baby inside of you…” I promise her.She turns to face me. “I love you too…” she hugs me.Someone clears their throat that’s when I remembered there were other people in the elevator with us.Dianna pulls away from me. “Sorry…” she apologizes.I smile at them. I wasn’t embarrassed but my bride sure was.It doesn’t take us long to get to the maternity ward. Dr Wade Daily is waiting for us. He was the doctor who delivered Grayson and lead Sarah through all her other pregnancies.“Mr. Vanderbilt.” He greets.I smile and shake his head. “Dr Daily it’s good to see you…” I tell him.He smiles brightly. “I hear congratulati
Chapter 92Dianna DavenportPOVToday is my wedding day and I still feel terrible. I kept it in, since Abigail is the only one to know about my pregnancy, she’s been keeping my champaign glass full of apple juice instead of champaign like everyone else’s glass.No one suspects a thing at least, most of my wedding party is half drunk since they’ve been drinking since early this morning.Abigail being my best friend is my maid of honor and Julliet is my bridesmaid. I only have the two of them walking down the aisle.Garret has Grayson as his best man and then Craig as groomsman.It means the world to Garret to have Grayson stand by his side during the wedding ceremony.I look around the room making sure these girls weren’t too drunk, I can’t have them stumbling over have way through the ceremony.The girls were talking about Julliet and Samantha’s nonprofit and how the progress is on the building and planning.It is interesting to hear the planning and whatnot.Though I don’t want these
Inside the ChapelGarret VanderbiltPOVThe grand organ plays a hymn and I stand up straight.In a just a few moments I’ll be faced to face with Dianna. I can’t express the happiness blooming within my heart. The excitement is about to burst out of my chest.The chapel doors open and Julliet’s the first to walk in with a light blue flowy dress to cover her new baby bump.Next in is Abigial Dianna’s best friend. She’s got a tight fitted short champaign color dress on, holding a bouquet of flowers I’ve already forgotten the name of.I smile when I see Dianna walk in with her brother. Dianna and Blake share a bond between the two of them, other siblings don’t have.From what Dianna’s told Blake basically raised her while her father barely ever even took note of her. That’s exactly the type of father I don’t want to be.All my children will be treated equally. The baby and Grayson. I couldn’t help but let my eyes fall on Dianna’s stomach where my baby is growing. I take her in fully. She
EpilogueFour months later…The hospital…Blake Davenport POVI clench my fists as my friends, and I wait in the waiting room. They all dropped everything and rushed over to be here for the birth of my daughter.We’ve already decided on a name for my little girl. Her name was Avery Marie Davenport. She’s named after the woman who birthed me. It was actually Julliet’s idea.They’re busy prepping Julliet for surgery. They’re going to perform an emergency c-section. With Avery being breeched. I won’t lie and say I’m doing great. I’m freaking out. I’m losing my fucking mind the longer they take to tell me what’s going on. Julliet decided in a split second she didn’t want me with during the c-section, she knew I was freaking out and she feared I’d make her nervous, she asked Kendell to be in the room with her. I’m terrified. I’m so fucking scared of losing either of them.“Blake they’re going to be okay…” Craig tries to comfort me.I nod. I prayed she would be.“Remember Sam had a c-secti
Chapter 114Dianna VanderbiltPOVToday is finally the day for my twelve-week check-up. No one was more surprised than I was that we were pregnant again. I’ve found out pretty early on.I was like three weeks pregnant when I found out. Being pregnant with Julliet again is the weirdest thing ever.Blake and Julliet invited all of us to their house for dinner so after my appointment we head over to my brother’s place.We haven’t told anyone I was pregnant. We didn’t think we should tell anyone just yet.I wasn’t even showing yet. We were going to wait until after our appointment.The safe period and what not. The drive to the doctor’s office was more nerve-wrecking that I thought it would be.Grayson and Grace were at school. When I thought Grayson was a giant at eleven. I didn’t expect him to be so big he makes me look like a little child. With a beard and a deeper voice, I honestly can’t tell the difference between him and Garret now.I tie my hair in a messy bun. I was dressed very r
Chapter 107A week later Julliet HarveyPOVPaige and Storm were away for work and left their kids with me. And with Blake being in New York with Aiden, he has been gone for a week. He’d just got back but Aiden needed him so that very night he’d gotten back he had to leave. Our night was so uneventful. We had gotten engaged and then five seconds later he had to leave. He returns home at night... I'm so excited to see my fiancé...I was sitting in our living room; the kids were upstairs for a nap. We had to get a nanny to help with the five children.With our soon to be four children, this was educational and to be honest it was freaking me out a little.When I was young, so damn young, I was corrupted by the wrong side. That’s the best way to put it. I’ve done so many wrong things in my life. yet God still blessed me with a fiancé who loves me, three amazing children and one on the way.When I tell people I’m blessed I mean it. I’ve never really been one for religion but after everyt
Chapter 106Paige HarveyPOVThe past 5 years I have gone to therapy. We have a beautiful daughter Calista who looks identical to her father and a son Godfrey who I belief looks identical to my father.Therapy has helped me deal with my father’s sudden death. I was barely coping. But Storm forced me to. Not just for me but for our daughter since I was pregnant at the time.He feared I would lose the baby or hurt myself.After therapy, our marriage has become stronger in a way, I don’t know how to describe it. It helped me realize just how much he meant to me.There were so many things about Godfrey that reminded me of my father, the way he smiled. How his eyes would sparkle when he saw something he liked. I feel like my father blessed us with him.After Godfrey was born, my mother decided it would be best to travel, she felt trapped in the house filled with memories of my father. She wanted to be free of them.My mother has been struggling and when she travels, she feels so much bette
Chapter 105One week later.Blake DavenportPOVI just got back from Florida. I helped Rene’s parents plan Skylor’s funeral. They took her death better than I expected they would.I was expecting the worst. But they just wanted to get the funeral over and done with. I couldn’t blame them. I would too if I was them.I run my fingers through my hair. I feel terrible. I was so close to proposing to Julliet. I was moving on with my life while they had to mourn their daughters.The kindest people I know. They didn’t deserve the hand given to them. Their one daughter was a complete angel who cared for everyone and everything. Whereas their youngest daughter, jealous of her older sister tried to kill her sister. She actually did kill Rene. She was the fucking devil.I can’t believe I’d fallen for the innocent act. She played not only me, but her own family as well.I treated her better than I did my own sister, because she meant to so much to Rene.I pull at my hair.I stopped by Rene’s grav
Chapter 104Blake DavenportPOVAfter I got the girls showered and in fresh clothes, I spoke to them about what happened. I was thinking about getting a therapist, I didn’t know if the girls were traumatized or not.They seemed fine but I didn’t want to risk it. The only thing they were upset was when their mother was accused of being a bad mother. I just hope the girls forget about that.I don’t want Julliet finding out about it.She’ll feel terrible. And she doesn’t look great now. I could see this pregnancy was taking all of her energy. I didn’t even tell her in the next week we’d be moving.There’s so much that needs to be done.And I haven’t even spoken to her yet.One thing I was sure about was I wanted Julliet to be my wife before our next baby is born.I’d found out she was pregnant this morning and now I’m already imagining what my son would look like. How our life will be in the future.My son… I smile… I didn’t even know the gender of the baby yet and I was already thinking
Chapter 103Julliet HarveyPOVMy girls were on their way home. I clenched my fists. I was so excited to see them.I wanted nothing more than to be in our home with all three of our children. I didn’t want to be with all out friends right now. I love them, I really do, but I wanted a moment with my children and my boyfriend.Do I still feel envy when I look at my friends and their marriages? God yes. I couldn’t help myself.They have been married for years now, Blake and I met first, we’ve been together the longest. Except for Paige and Storm. We’ve been together the longest.Blake and I both carry so much more baggage than the rest of friends. I’ll never be able to live up to Blake’s former wife. I’ll never be good enough to be his wife.We might have a family together but I’m fooling myself if I think I’ll be happy being his girlfriend for the rest of my life.What was wrong with me? Why was I thinking about this now."How are you feeling now?" Dianna asks.I look up at her. Dianna
Chapter 102An hour earlierJulliet HarveyPOVI’m sitting on the guest bathroom floor in Paige’s house. I’ve been in this bathroom since I’ve come over. This pregnancy is really so much worse than my last two.Was I being punished by the Heavens?I think the toilet has become my newest best friend.The tiles on the floor are actually helping the nausea somewhat. Though I still feel like this baby is trying to kill me by having my throw up all my insides.God, I feel sick and the more I worry for the girls the more I want to throw up. My girls are missing, and I can’t even get myself off the floor.Oh God make it stop.This pregnancy has come out of nowhere. I honestly didn’t expect it. I’d been feeling off for over two months now, but I excused it as stress, over thinking and we’ll everything else. I did want at least four children, but I was thinking about bringing it up with Blake at least a year from now. I wanted the kids to be a little older.With Maddox and the girls being so c
Chapter 101Justin BrandfordPOVThis was going to shit; I could feel it in my bones. We were supposed to only take one of the girls. Who would have thought they would look like that bastard and no Julliet.We’re supposed to ask for ransom money, but I don’t want the money anymore. I want to kill all three of these girls. I hate Paige just as much as I hate Blake. Their child doesn’t deserve to live just as much as these two don’t. Sky is attached to the girls and want to raise Blake’s children with him. Our unlikely partnership came from mutual interest. Yet now I don’t want anything to do with the sick bitch. She’s been with them for over an hour trying to convince them Julliet’s a terrible woman and that she’s going to be their new mommy. The bitch is crazy even for me.Blake already paralyzed half of my body. I walk with a fucking limp, and I don’t have feeling in my arm anymore.============Blake DavenportPOV“Blake let me drive…” Craig suggests.I just nod.On the drive ov
