Kathy's PovI woke up to strong pain, my whole lower abdomen hurt, I looked around the room for Pearl, she wasn't there, where could she have even, I saw her before I went to sleep, fearing for her safety, I tried to get up but the pain was getting out of hand, my whole lower abdomen hurt and my baby was in distress, I tried to shout and call for help but I couldn't get much out as I was weak from struggling with Ginna last night, she had come after they both left after talking to Cross and had tried to force me to drink whatever she was giving e, I didn't know what it was but I knew what she was doing, I figured it out, she didn't have a problem with me but my baby, she was trying to kill my baby, I couldn't let her do that even though she had succeeded in giving some of that stuff again.I looked around the room wishing for a miracle to come by."You are awake?"Louis said entering the room, he didn't look happy or anything like he was after the call with Cross, maybe he and Ginna f
Cross Pov"Doctor, when is my wife going to wake up? It's been over four days,"I asked the doctor, who didn't seem to have an answer, hearing that our baby was no more was the sadness thing I have ever heard, it brought me down on my knees, I cried my eyes out that day for the chance u had and lost, if only I had gotten to Katherine earlier, we wouldn't have lost our baby and my wife wouldn't still be asleep after four whole days, that day had been the worst days of my life, first having to watch the peramedics work on Kathy and bring her to the hospital, to waiting for the doctor to come and give me news and when the news finally came my worst nightmare had been confirmed, they couldn't do anything to save our baby as whatever Ginna had done couldn't be undone, in that moment, I felt like killing some one, felt liking making Ginna pay for everything with her blood, she has been arrested, that was all I knew for now, Louis who had turned himself in at the last moment had told the pol
Kathy PovIt took a while for me to adjust to the life without my baby, no I couldn't adjust, I still cried at night, I still blamed myself and I don't think I will ever get over the feeling of loss, Ginna had been right about one thing, she left an unforgettable wound that time was doing nothing to heal, not even seeing Ginna and Louis getting sentenced helped no, it's being over four months since the incident but it was still fresh in my memory, especially when I think about the fact that I would have been huge with child now almost getting ready for delivery."Baby?"Cross called, Cross, he has been an angel, my only constant aside from our family, we were still in Arizona and I didn't plan on returning to New York anytime soon, I had trauma, for me New York was a bad place where I only had bad memories, here in Arizona I could at least be comfortable, I had my both families and also Anna's twins, they were a source of joy to me, a glimpse of what it would have been like if my baby
Cross PovIt was a delight to watch my wife grow bigger and bigger with our baby each day that turned into weeks and then months, we returned back to New York temporarily, spent just two weeks, and went back home to Arizona, we both decided it was better to start a family back home in Arizona, Max who had been the runaway kid soon became the new me as dad instructed him to go learn how to run the company, of course, the poor guy didn't want to, I couldn't blame him but after talking to him, he decided to eventually go but he firmly told Dad that he had no intentions of running the company so even though I was back home in Arizona, I still had the major post there and still went there for important meetings and business dealings, Katherine and I moved out of the mansion as I didn't want to keep leaving in my parent's house, I wanted a home for us, and we both got a beautiful, not so bigger but homey house in a calm environment in Arizona, everything was just going fine for us, this was
Kathy Pov"What did I ever do to deserve you and our little ones? This is too much, I couldn't have done anything to deserve this much joy and happiness,"Cross, let out. we were in our baby's nursery putting the twin to bed, exactly two months after their birth, they were healthy and growing so beautifully."You deserve it all My love, even if you think you don't, you do,""God, I am so blessed,""We too,""I love you, My baby,""I love you more, now shush, we need to get these little ones to sleep I want their dad all to myself until they wake up,"These passed two months have been both fun and hectic, for a kid it would be hard but there were two of them, I wonder just how Anna could take caring for two kids, sometimes it gets do overwhelming, sometimes it will be so easy but most time it not, thank God I had more help and so did Anna, if not I don't think we could have done it on our own, Anna gave me lots of lessons, my mother inlaw, sisters and mother did too, they all had exper
Kathy PovI bang the door loudly as I angrily walked into my mom's room and she turned to look at me with an annoyed expression but I was much too angry to care."Young lady what do you want and why can't you knock before entering? Have you forgotten your manners?"She asked, I didn't even bother to answer."Mom, what's the meaning of what dad just said to me? Why am I being sold off in the name of marriage?"Is that why you barged into my room like that? You should know already, it shouldn't be news to you since you were here when both of your sisters got married to men the family chose for them and they are both doing well, yours won't be different my dear,""Mom, I am not my sister and besides I am just twenty-three I still have a lot of time, I am not ready for marriage now and as you know I have a boyfriend who I love and I don't wanna leave him and marry someone I don't know or care to know about, so please tell your husband to get off my case."My family was the worst family on
Kathy POVI spent the rest of the day in my room finalizing my plan, I had it all planned out and have called Louis my boyfriend and we agreed to meet up by five pm, I already made sure I got up to eight million checks signed, I smiled mischievously to myself, my parent think they are smart but I am smarter, a knock came on my four and I quickly put the checks and pen away before telling whoever it is to come in, it was the maid."Ma, your mom said to tell you to come down and greet your visitors,""What visitor?" I wasn't expecting anyone so I wondered who it was but she didn't have any idea either by the way she panicked and shook her head."Don't worry, go I will be there in a few minutes,"I told her getting up from my bed I didn't know her name cuz they were much too many to master a name or sometimes a face except the ones that have been here long, like Zee the head maid. I checked to see if my hair was in place and my face in order and exited my room. I could hear voices coming
Cross Pov"Ma, I already agreed to do as you asked, what else do you want me to do?"I asked my mom, she is being annoyed again, one of the many reasons I jumped on the opportunity to handle the branch office weather than stay back home and be at the main is because my mom is always on my case, at almost thirty my mom still see me as a baby, and I don't know what to do to change that. I adjusted my suit as I walked to the chair in the hotel room and sat down, my mom calling me so early in the morning wasn't a new thing, it has always been like that and I am used to it, but I needed to get to work and knowing my mom this call might last for hours."You were supposed to come with us to see her, but you didn't show up and we had to make up excuses, you know how much I have to make excuses,""Ma, I will see her at the engagement party, no need for us to meet before then, it's not a love match, I agreed to this marriage idea and that should be enough."I said wanting the phone call to end
