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
I came back to work that next week, and news spread fast in the office. As I exited the elevator the whole floor was already waiting for me with poppers and banners at hand. "What is all this?" I asked as I looked at everyone's beaming faces. “Congratulations!” Janice said as she walks towards me with a customized baby cake in hand. “How did you guys know?” I asked with a big smile on my face, but before anyone can respond the answer to my question walked up to me. Andrea was walking through the crowd with two balloons at hand. One was pink with ‘Is it a girl?’ written on it and the other was blue with ‘Is it a boy?’ “It just slipped in a conversation.” She said to me as reached out and gave me a big hug. “I hate you.” I said to her as I hugged her back, but she just let out a bit of a giggle as she shook her head at me. “I know you don’t.” She said as she pulled away from the hug. “Let’s all have lunch together later, my treat.” I announced as my best friend held
My legs caved in as soon as I saw blood coming dripping down my legs. My hands shook, as I wiped them off and then the ringing in my ears started. Every sound around me was muffled, and my eyes went blurry. I couldn't speak, it felt like my world stopped. Tears started streaming down my face and the next thing I knew; I was swept off of my feet by a familiar comforting presence. I looked up at my husband and saw that his lips were moving but I couldn't hear a thing that he was saying. "Our baby. Our baby." I sobbed at him and I could see the concern and panic on his face. He cradled me in his arms and ran through the building with me sobbing in his chest, and before we could even go down the elevator, everything went black. A bright light pierced through my eyelids as I awoke. And then I remembered what happened. I opened my eyes in fright and saw Gavin sitting beside my bed with a worried expression on his face. "What happened? Love, what happened? Our baby?" I exclaimed as h
Although Gavin doesn't admit it, I know he wants another baby. He doesn't what to pressure me so sometimes, he works overtime to release some of his stress. He gets in bed and cuddles me every night, but I know something is bothering him. "Hey." I heard him say as he spooned me. "How was work?" I asked him as I placed my hand on top of his, stroking his arm gently. I heard him mumble something as he buried his face in the nook of my neck, making me giggle as his stubbled chin tickled me. "I can't understand you." I said in between giggles, but instead, he spun me around and started tickling my sides. "Stop it." I said to him almost screaming as I try to catch my breath but instead of pulling away, he pinned me down on the bed. "Really?" He said as he straddled me with a big smile on his face. "Depends on what you want to do." I said raising my eyebrows at him. His smile just grew wider as he slowly leaned down on me. I closed my eyes, anticipating his lips to crash on mine but h
I didn't want to think about it, but the conversation that I overheard in the office kept replaying in my mind. Would Gavin really want another girl because I can't bear him another child? Did I really let go of myself? "What's bothering you, love?" Gavin asked me as he popped behind me while I was sitting on the sofa. "It's nothing, love. Let's just watch a movie. ZG is already in bed." I said to him and he immediately jumped onto the sofa. I was woken up by the sound of a phone ringing. I knew it wasn’t mine so I turned to the other side and started waking Gavin up. “Love, your phone is ringing.” I whispered to him but he only answered me with a groan before he started to move and reach for his phone. I cuddle more into him and rested my head on his chest as I tried to go back to sleep. “Hello?” He said with his husky bedroom voice, making me smile as I lay my head on him. “What?” I was shocked when he suddenly sat up from bed. “Sorry. I need to get this love.” He said as he l
