A gift From Las Vegas Chapter 25 - She is pregnant, not dead
Theon Harper and I were walking together through the streets of Aspen, it was Halloween week, and the town was filled with decorations, from the funniest to the ones that were really intended to be scary. " Look at the pumpkin patch in front of the Dwayne house," Harper pointed ecstatically, wrapping her arm around me and drawing her body closer to mine. The temperature had dropped a lot in the last two weeks, getting closer to zero degrees every day, and soon we would have snow in Aspen. " Let's get you some hot chocolate," I suggested as I pulled away from her and put my arm around her. Harper and I had managed to find a balance in our relationship; despite all the complexity surrounding my situation with Sam, we had overcome any problems that had arisen in the beginning. " You're spoiling me, Theon," she smiled. Yes, she was right, in the last few days I had been doing everything to please her, and I believe she deserved every single one of those treats. We walked over to a

SamanthaI walked between the girls observing if they were correctly executing the choreography I had given them, it was already becoming a little difficult to keep up, so I was content to evaluate them and correct them when necessary." You need to be in sync," I stopped the music again, "especially when you raise your hands and start running again.”" Ms. Hurst, can't you show us again? " Melissa asked." All right," I sighed before putting Michael Sembello on once more.They watched carefully as I performed the choreography clearly so that they understood what they were supposed to do. Once I was done, I felt exhausted, content to sit on the floor for a while to catch my breath." How about a break? " I suggested with a wry smile." Does the baby make you tired, Ms. Hurst? " Maggie asked, watching me." A little," I admitted.The girls whispered to each other soon after, causing me to frown at the situation." You go, it was your mother who told you," Melissa asked Kim." But I tol

I absorbed the words of Delphine and continued walking absentmindedly, until I bumped into a strong body." Sorry " I asked without bothering to see who I bumped into." Samantha? " A male voice caught my attention. Mike smiled broadly when he saw me. " Mike, hi," I didn't hesitate to smile back.Once again I was taken by his handsome face and the penetrating eyes he displayed. Mike attracted me as soon as we met, he was the kind of guy I would get involved with in a bar. And I would get pregnant for it, my conscience screamed." I was going to call you today, how is the pancake?”" The pancake? He wants to sleep in bed with me! If I lock him out of the room, he won't stop crying," I joked." I can't blame him for that," he winked at me.My heart didn't race, as it did when I was with Theon, but it was nice to have his attention." Have I become invisible to you, Laffay? " Delphine broke our flirtation, making me blush.Okay, he's not Theon, but it was enough to make me forg

SamanthaI watched Pancake gnawing on a shoe in the corner of the room while I finished getting ready. I was to meet Mike in an hour, and I was feeling more anxious by the minute." Do you think I'm being hasty? " I questioned the beagle, attracting his attention, "I should be mad at you for ruining yet another shoe of mine, but I can't even think about it now, should I cancel?”He moved his ears, back to concentrating on my shoe, and I sighed audibly, putting aside the brush and picking up my cell phone. This was crazy! I couldn't go out with him. How would I explain the fact that I had a baby growing inside me?I was about to call the man and make up some excuse, when I remembered the scene at the Adamos house. The way I felt when I saw Theon with Harper was not right! I needed to get over it one way or another!Instead of calling Mike, I tried Charlie.She answered the video call on the second ring, dressed in a short leather police costume, in her dressing room before some show."

SamanthaDespite the troubled start, the rest of the dinner was pleasant. To my surprise, Mike was sympathetic after understanding the whole situation that I was in. He became a little more open after confirming that there was no romantic relationship between Theon and me.We didn't see time passing, and before we knew it, we were walking side by side, watching the starry Aspen sky as he walked me home, making small talk." So, you are preparing the girls for the Thanksgiving presentation," he began, with both hands in his coat pockets." Yes, I'm working hard on it, but they'll do fine," I assured him, feeling the cool breeze hitting my face." I wish I could watch.”Mike had told me that he was traveling to Pennsylvania to spend Thanksgiving with his family, so he would not be able to attend the children's performance at the theater in town." Well, there will always be other performances," I assured him watching my house pop up as we turned the corner, "that's where I live.”" Okay

" Can you stop stealing our baby's chocolate? " I complained as I watched Theon grab another chocolate from the box of chocolates we had bought on the way to Vail.Today we had another ultrasound appointment, and I was already seventeen weeks pregnant and hoped that we would be able to find out the sex on this scan." I think this baby has had enough chocolate," Theon scoffed, popping the candy into his mouth." Quiet," I murmured, "your grandmother said that I have to eat well.”" She means healthy foods, Sam," he picked up another candy, much to my displeasure."Don't you want to find out if it's a boy or a girl today? Then give the chocolate to the baby," he removed the candy wrapper." You are taking advantage of the situation," he put the candy in my mouth.A lady in her sixties was watching us with a small smile on her face."How long have you been married? " she finally asked, drawing our attention." We're not together," Theon seemed uncomfortable with the subject." Yes, he h

SamanthaThat little interaction served to dispel any remaining awkwardness between the two of us. We managed to keep it mild until we reached my house, where a large box on the porch reminded me of the favor I needed to ask him." Can you help me with something? " I asked before getting out of the car.He followed me curiously to the porch, I unlocked the door and pointed to the unopened box that was still there. I had received this package in the morning, but had not dared to move it when I realized how heavy it was." Can you take this upstairs for me? " I asked.He didn't think twice before stooping down, picking up the box and carrying it into the house, and then climbing the stairs. I followed him, showing him where he could put it, and sat down on the floor to open it." This is heavy, what did you buy? " Theon asked, standing beside me." A toolbox," I explained.That took him by surprise. He stooped down beside me, looking at everything in the box." Sam, why do you need a to

Theon" Really, Sam, you need to ask Iris to show you these pictures," Harper confided, drawing even more laughter from the other woman. Callie was so angry." Did you really freak out, Apollo?" Sam asked with a smile on her face, "I didn't know you were the type to be afraid of the public.”We were sitting on the floor of the empty room, eating some egg tarts that Harper had brought with the Chinese food. In the end, she helped me carry the disassembled furniture down to the basement, and seemed more at ease in the presence of the mother of my son." I didn't freak out, Samantha. I was six years old and I had a fight with my sister," I explained, "and my mother might as well burn those pictures!”" You'd better take advantage of that before he disappears, Sam," Harper whispered as I rolled my eyes." Damn right, I'll make a copy just to show the baby," she scoffed, "if you know of any more embarrassing pictures of him, you should tell me.”" Ohhh there is one, he was about fourteen y
