I sat opposite Ben, my legs crossed and arms folded as I stared at him. Ben didn’t seem nervous, prepared like he was waiting for today.
“Now Leslie and Bennett, we’re here to come to a negotiation not fight.” The counsellor who was sent by the court said as I nodded.
To plain eyes Ben looked okay but I knew when he was anxious, we’ve been married for almost six years and we knew each other’s quirks and personality.
“Let us begin.” The counsellor said as she looked at the papers in her hand. “You can freely discuss whatever you like.”
“It’s great to finally get the chance to talk to you.” Ben said as his eyes fell to my baby bump.
“I was expecting words more like see you in court since there’s nothing to talk about.” I stated as Ben frowned.
“You’re pregnant Leslie with our child, I feel we were given this opportunity to reconcile. I don’t want you to carry all the responsibility alone.”
“I won’t thanks to child s
063 NB: Divorce laws are different in every country and I am doing my best to represent a divorce case in an advanced modern society ruled with the ABO system. This is a work of fiction for the goal of entertainment. I loved how small the court was and how there weren’t a lot of people in the room that weren’t needed. I was late to the court but when I looked at the right side, Azrael and Isaac were seated. “Sorry I’m late.” I apologized to Azrael and looked at Isaac but didn’t say a word before I sat down beside Azrael. “Is everything okay between the two of you?” Azrael asked and I pouted. “I don’t want to talk to him.” I replied as Azrael patted my hair. “I don’t know what is the basis of your argument but I know you’ll forgive him.” Azrael said as I squinted my eyes. “What makes you so sure?” I asked and he smirked. “Because you know how to forgive Leslie even if it takes time. You also know you n
064AzraelLeslie heaved heavily as Bennett stood up to give his statement. The work to a divorce was too much and I was starting to understand why my parents would never file a divorce even if they got tired of each other.“You should take your pills.” I said when as I handed Leslie the bottle of vitamins when it was time.“Thank you.” Leslie said as he collected the bottle of water and the pills.He took the pills and handed me the bottle before he cleaned his mouth to listen to Bennett’s statement attentively.“I don’t want to waste much of our time giving a full account so I’ll give my account from a year ago. I got employed into DW conglomerate a year ago after I lost my previous job before I got employed Leslie was working at his current place of employment.”“So, Leslie was unemployed when you were working in your previous job?”“Y

LeslieI stared at my reflection as I stared at the scissors before I stared at my hair that I had gathered together in my hand. I exhaled as I brought the scissors to my hair.“Here goes nothing.” I said to my reflection before I cut my hair extremely short.I watched my hair falling to the ground as I took my time giving it a neat style before I dropped the scissors.I took a shower and stepped out before I went to the living room as Reina came out of the kitchen with a cup of coffee in her hand.“Leslie would you…” She paused as she stared at me.I blushed, feeling a little self-conscious about my new look before I made eye contact with Reina.“Do I look good?” I asked.“You look amazing.” Reina said. “I didn’t think you were great with scissors.”She said as she approached me, dropping her tea before she touched the tip of my hair.“You should cut your hair more often. It suits you.” Reina released my hair. “Ever thought of dying it, pink will be a great colour.”“No. I’ve dyed my
It was close to midnight when Azrael brought me back to Reina’s place. I opened the front door and Reina was awake watching a sitcom on TV with an empty plate of mac and cheese with a glass of red wine.“Welcome back. I thought you’d sleep over at his place?”“I have to pee.” I said and headed for the bathroom.Another troublesome experience about pregnancy, the regular bathroom breaks. I came out after taking a shower and Reina was on her laptop, a little after midnight. I picked up the box Azrael brought and sat beside her.“You shouldn’t be working on your day off.” I said.“The rich never sleep.” Reina replied and went back to typing.I shook my head and ripped the wrapper, catching Reina’s attention. I opened the white box that covered the wrapper and it was a box of rare sweets so difficult to find with a note on top.“Every day with you is like a box of chocolate. It’s either sweet or dark, coffee or caramel.” I read and pulled out the box.Inside was a shirt that had half a he
“What do you think of this? I like the design.” I said as I raised the baby cloth to Isaac.“No. The designs are a little too dark for a newborn, maybe when he’s two.” Isaac grabbed the cloth and tossed aside. “Babies like bright colours and light. We also should consider that the baby could look like you in the selection.”“Albinism isn’t a dominant trait in any of our family.”“But it’s your dominant trait.”I sighed and picked a cap with baby ducks drawn on it.“That’s cute.” Isaac agreed with my choice and added it to the pile of baby things we had around.I assumed we were going to do most of our shopping online, but coming out and doing a live search felt good when I wasn’t going for a routine maternal check-up.“Should we get more?” Isaac asked, and I shook my head.“The baby has more clothes than I could wear in a year, even if he could puke everything he eats.”Isaac laughed and handed the cashier his card, much to my disapproval. He was very adamant on paying for everything,
AzraelAnother month marked and Leslie was getting closer to having the baby, so was the restless and the stress on a male omega’s body getting worse and his mood swings, short but uncontrollable.Every day reminded me to be thankful to Lucas for giving birth to me and Kioko for the support she gave him because Leslie was the pregnant and restless as we got closer to his due date.One more month and Leslie could finally sleep properly for a full night.The knock on the door distracted me and Leslie entered with a bowl of fruit salad in his hand.“I thought you might need this. I like the melons your mom brought from Japan.” He said and dropped the plate on the table. “What are you doing?”I adjusted my glasses and faced my laptop.“I was starting on a new project under a different genre, with an alias, to check the success rate.”“I thought you weren’t going to write for some time?”“I’m not going to publish as Mitsuki Bethan for some time. We just finished a series last year and the s
LeslieThere are times I hated Azrael, and those times were when he was right. Last week’s conversation was heavy and Azrael never brought it up again, much to my content, but it also showed a lot of things were bothering him, things that concerned not only me.I checked the calendar and three more weeks until the expecting date and Dr. Owen has advised to be calm and observant this final stage but anxiety and confusion were companions.“Everything was supposed to be a fresh start.” I narrated to Reina. “Now I’m feeling pressured to do what Ben wants.”“You’re only feeling like that because it’s bothering Azrael.”“Yes. I mean, he is right that he can never be the baby’s biological father given that Ben has his good sides and a lot of redeeming qualities and I know Ben will make an awesome dad, but it’s difficult. What would you do if you were in my shoes?”“I don’t know.”I raised a brow at her, and she exhaled.“Romance isn’t my suit one. I’m never going to have a baby two and if I
