Steph scrolled through the cart she had started creating for her baby. They were so many fun and cute baby stuff online and she was enjoying scrolling through. It made her happy and even though her baby bump was bearly noticeable, she was starting to get used to the fact that she was pregnant. "Here are the files for the new fall collection," Ella said. Bringing Steph back to reality. She dropped her phone on the counter next to her. Picking the folder up."Is everything okay? You seem absentminded these days," Ella asked, concerned."I am fine," Emma said, with a smile. "Also, before I forget, they are asking for new designs for the collection," Emma added."I will see what I can do," Steph answered.She checked her phone as Ella walked out of the office. She realized she was almost late for her lunch date with Oliver and Mia. Oliver was off work today and they all decided to meet up. Steph picked up her phone and her purse and walked out of the office. The restaurant they had
“Are you going to tell them,” Anna asked, picking the dessert from the oven.Stephanie did the dressing on the salad. They were getting dinner ready. Steph had explained to Anna all that had happened and she was having trouble deciding whether to tell her parents or not. “I don’t know,” Steph said. Picking up the food to take to the dinning area. Anna always looked up to her sister and even though she never said it always, she loved Steph a lot and would literally do anything for her. Anna brought the rest of the dishes out and they all sat to eat. Their parents were already sitting and ready to eat.Each person started to dish the food and the dining was quiet at first until Anna decided to speak.“I will be going back to school this weekend,” Anna said. “That’s great. Remember to get in touch with the professor’s I mentioned,” Her dad said.“Yes, I will.”Before anyone could say anything else, Steph summoned the courage to speak. She wasn’t sure if she was doing the right th
Steph stared at the contract in front of her on the table. Alex and his mum had insisted they did it in a court so the contract will be valid. Steph had requested if she could come along with Mia. She needed someone to be there with her when she was making the decision. She was nervous and scared and even though she wasn’t showing it, she still couldn’t help it.“Sign here,” Alex’s mum said, pointing towards the part of the paper that Steph was required to sign in. Steph picked up the pen and after a few minutes she signed where she was supposed to. The documents were passed to Alex who also signed in his part. “We are done with it now, I think we can conclude that you are married” the official said. Steph had never thought her wedding would be like this. Rushed and laying for 10months. Steph dreamt of a big hall with plenty flowers, walking down to the alter to her favorite love song, a first dance with her husband to her favorite Ed-sheeran’s song. Dancing with her fr
Steph felt a sudden ray of light on her face, causing her to squint her eyes but she didn’t open it. Rather she turned to the other her face to the other side of the bed, pulling her duvet to cover her already exposed self. She suddenly felt her duvet removed from her body. She wondered what was going on and stood to sit up, rubbing her eyes with her hands. “It’s time,” The voice said. Steph managed to open her eyes to see who it was that was talking to her. “Time for what?” She said, in a sleepy tone.She finally opened her eyes and saw a lady standing in front of her bed. She wondered who it was.“Who are you?” She asked, curiously.“I am lols, I was sent here to get you ready for the interview,” She explained.“What interview?” Steph asked curiously. She thought about if Alex had mentioned it to her but she couldn’t recall.“It starts in 30 minutes, you should get in the bath now. We will get your clothes ready.”Steph figured there wasn’t so much time to keep asking questio
Steph hurried to get to work the next day. She was almost late and wouldn't want her boss to start the new month with a query for her. Alex had assigned a driver and car to her. It was going to be much easier for her to get to work and she wasn't going to need jumping the bus again and staying several minutes at the train station. She got to work just in time for the days' work to start and she wished her week started with someone else bumping into her and not Mike. They had both entered the same elevator and Steph wished she had been a few minutes late in other to not get to see him.It was just both of them in the elevator and at first they said nothing to each other. "Didn't know you still worked here" he said sarcastically and Steph wondered what he meant by that."What do you mean by that?" Steph asked curiously. Steph turned to look at him and the first thought on her mind was "have I been fired and have no idea about it". "It's all over the news. You got married to a b
Steph packed up her stuffs from the office after she was done. She was leaving quiet early today because she had to meet up with Mia at the bar. She had made just a little progress in her designs and felt maybe a little night out would help. The states from her co-workers had reduced. Only a few side talks and murmuring. She didn't seem to care anymore and was starting to get used to it. She however never went on social media again to check what people were saying, she realized it was causing more harm than good. The driver packed just outside the bar. Steph had initially thought to convince him to go home but he was going to insist to stay so she didn't bother.She walked into the bar and immediately sighted Mia where they always sat. She waved at her and smiled eagerly going to meet her.Mia pulled her in for a hug after she got to where she was."It feels like I haven't seen you in forever," Mia said and Steph laughed."You saw me just last week.""I have missed you."Ste
Steph looked down through her balcony has she watched Alex work out. She wondered why he didn’t use the gym in the house instead but then she was glad she had the view. She watched has he exercised his biceps and muscles, he was shirtless, making his parks even more visible. He has a nice body” she had thought to herself. It was the weekend and she had sat holding the book she had just purchased at the mall the other day. It was titled “101 guide to motherhood” and even though she had read almost half of the book, she wasn’t getting the point. There was so much talk and she knew it wouldn’t be that easy. She decided to finish the book regardless. She had bought 3 other of such books hoping they would at least prepare her for what is to come. Steph was scared but she wasn’t going to admit it to anyone. She had never been so scared of anything. She was always ever eager to take on challenges and fight them through but this was seeming difficult than it would naturally and that
Steph got ready for her first day to visit the hospital. She hadn’t had time in a while and had been postponing going for the scan. Although that’s what she tells herself, she was just really anxious. Anything that concerned the baby, she always didn’t know how to act. Steph sat at the dining table and the chef served her toasts. “Has he gone to work?” Steph said, turning to face Lucy who was sitting opposite her. She had made it a tradition to eat with Lucy and even Lucy was starting to get used to it. “I think he leaves in a few,” Lucy replied.Steph never knew how his schedule was like. They never really talked about what either of them did and they were living their separate lives in the same house. “Alright, thank you.”Steph never really asked if Alex was going to eat with them anymore. She had initially tried but he had refused twice saying he was more comfortable eating in his room. Alex came down few minutes after and as then he walked out towards them. “G
