I woke up, hearing voices from around me. I still don't know what's going on but I was sure I wasn't at home. And that's when it hit me, I had just given birth. I opened my eyes and my hands immediately went to my tummy, it was flat. I sat up and was in shock with what I saw. Mom, dad, and Gavin's parents were all huddled at my bedside, cooing and using baby talk to talk to my sleeping baby boy. "Oh, you're awake. How are you feeling, sweetheart?" My mom asked as she was the first to notice my movements. "I'm fine, mom. Still a bit tired, but I'm fine." I said to her as I looked around the room looking for my husband and I saw him curled up in a ball as he slept soundly in the corner of the room. The couch was really not big enough for him. "Here, Zoe. We brought food. We all came here as soon as your sisters called us. I think they stayed the night at your apartment." Dad said as he pulled out the bed table and placed my food on it. "Did Gav eat already?" I couldn't help but ask
I was shocked when she suddenly appeared out of thin air. I didn't really expect to see her out so quickly. I've almost forgotten about her, and everything she did just slipped out of my mind, until now. Those suppressed memories just came flooding back in my mind as I looked at the person that almost took away my and my husband's life just a year ago. I felt a shiver run down my spine as I looked at her, a familiar but yet not as menacing feeling that before. "Hi." Nancy said as she smiled at us shyly. She tucked her stray hair strands on the back of her ear as she looked down on her feet. "This is Trent, my boyfriend." She said as she introduced the man standing beside her. "Trent was my nurse while I was in the hospital. He really helped me a lot, overcoming my demons and all. We became friends and that's how we fell in love." I was so speechless with what I was hearing that I failed to respond to her. I just stared at her in disbelief and I guess she noticed this and smiled bit
I didn't tell anyone about what I noticed with Cam. Maybe it's just me because no one said anything about it too, so I just tried to let it go. The wedding went great, the ceremony was flawless and everything was just so beautiful. It kinda took me back to my wedding. My jaw dropped when we got into the venue. It was straight out of a princess movie. The lights, the decor, the flowers, just everything was perfect. The host that they hired was the host of my wedding, so it was really entertaining and everyone is having a good time. I cried when it comes to their first dance, I don't know what it is but it felt so romantic to me. The way that they looked into each other's eyes, I felt like I was watching a movie, and then a hand appeared in front of me. I looked up and saw my husband's face as he smiled at me. I took his hand and he swept me to the dance floor where I saw our son already dancing with Alexa. The two of them looked so adorable that I couldn't help but gush over them. "L
"I decided not to press charges." Cam said as she sat down opposite me. "What?" I asked in shock. "I just didn't want to make it a big deal. I mean, they still took me in when I was young. She still is the woman who carried me in her womb." She explained and I just really couldn't see eye to eye with her with this one. "Cam. They kidnapped you before you were even born. They abandoned you at an orphanage then came back to your life just to take advantage of you, just like they are doing now." I said to her, trying to make her see reason but she just bit back her lower lip and I knew that I wasn't getting through to her. "Does mom and dad know about this?" I asked her and she slowly nodded at me. "I talked to them about this before I made a decision." She said to me, then held my hand. "Cath, I know you're worried about me but I'm fine. I can take care of myself. I just don't want any more conflict in my life." She said to me and I just held her hand tighter. "I know you're strong
I was left dumbfounded by what he just told me, and my jaw just dropped to the floor. I was left speechless by his sudden confession. “What are you talking about?” I asked him, my voice raised a little in shock. “I know it sounds weird and that I shouldn’t think that way.” He said to me as he cupped his face into his palms. “Wait. Wait. Wait. Just what gave you that idea?” I said to him. He then took a deep breath before answering me. “She’s been so distant lately. I keep catching her lying about where she is going. Sometimes she would abruptly end the call she was having when I enter the room. I honestly don’t know what to think.” He said and I was again, lost for words. “Come on, Gray. There has to be some sort of explanation for this.” I said to him as he was about to break down. “We both know Cam, and you know her the best. Do you really think that she would do that to you?” I said to him and he just remained quiet. “Zoe, then what’s the explanation?” He asked me back a
"Why didn't you tell me?" Grayson asked as soon as Cam finished explaining to him everything that has happened to Mary and Fred. "I just didn't want you to be worried, hon." Cam said to him. "I didn't know that you would think that I'm cheating on you." Grayson's eyes opened widely before turning to me. "You told her?" He exclaimed at me and I kinda felt guilty. "Well, I have to say something to her." I said to him as I slowly backed away from him. "I'm really sorry to worry you, hon." Cam said to him as she held his hand with a puppy dog look on his face. "Fine. Fine, but please no more secrets?" He asked my sister and Cam just smiled at him. "Promise." She said enveloping her husband in a tight hug, which he gladly returned. "So, are we cool?" I asked awkwardly as I stood behind them. Grayson turned to me and he was still glaring at me. "What?" I asked him. "You knew about this since the wedding and you didn't tell me?" He asked angrily and I just slowly backed away from him
I was so surprised by the sudden news. I didn't even know how I should react to what Caleb just said. I looked at Gavin and saw the excitement in his eyes. Well, we have been talking about wanting another child, it was just that this was a bit unexpected. "Are you serious, Caleb?" Gavin asked and the doctor just smiled at us and nodded. "I am very serious, Gav. Congratulations to both of you." He said and I was still just speechless. My head still couldn't register what was happening. My heart was beating so fast in excitement and happiness, that I was just in shock. "Love, we're gonna have a baby again." Gavin said turning to me and that was my limit. My sight became blurry and I felt hot tears fall down my cheeks. "Oh no. No, love. Crying is gonna be bad for you and the baby." He said as he pulled me into a hug. "We're gonna have another baby." I said through my sobs as I melted into his arm. I could hear him chuckle as he started laying on our bed with his arms still wrapped aro
"How was your day, love?" Gavin immediately asked as soon as I came over to the couch after washing up. I sat down beside him and tucked myself under the blanket covering him and cuddled into his waiting arms. "A bit tiring, but it was really fun." I said as I nuzzled my head in his chest. "Looks like Z is all tuckered out." "He was running around the house all day. Dad was exhausted before lunch." He said with a bit of amusement in his voice. "Looks like you two had fun terrorizing Mom and Dad." I said to him with an amused laugh as I tried focusing myself on the television. "Well, they did say that they wanted to take care of Z for the day." He said matter-of-factly and I couldn't argue with him on that. Both of our parents do adore their grandson very much and I'm very grateful for that. My only problem is that they are all spoiling him rotten. "Did you tell them about our baby?" I asked him and I could feel his head shake. His calm and steady breathing and heartbeat also calm
