The drive home was very quiet as Annie and Eric were drowned in their thoughts. She stole glances at him on many occasions but she could not tell if he was angry because his expression was plain.
Eric had been acting strange since they had dinner. He didn’t talk much and when he was asked questions he gave a one-word answer.
She could not help but wonder if Eric was mad at her because he somehow discovered the truth. Tears welled up in her eyes at the thought of him be
“Perfect, you’re awake.” Eric smiled as he peeped into the room.“Good morning.” She yawned.Eric walked in, took a seat beside her and kissed her forehead.“Feeling better?”
It was a sunny Friday afternoon; just a little over one pm. Eric finished his meeting with his new investors, returned to his office to go over the notes his secretary made. He was distracted when his phone started ringing; he looked at the caller id and saw that it was his mom. A small smile crept to his lips. It has been a while since he heard from her.“Hi, mom.” He said to the other side.“Eric Christian Ivan-James. I thought I raised you better than th
One month later.After much contemplation, Annie decided to give in to Eric’s plea and move in with him. It was a hard decision as she liked being independent but she decided to take the risk because of the love she has for Eric and besides, his mansion was more suitable to raise their baby.
Nora and Benjamin were seated at the reception area of the emergency ward, waiting for the doctor to come out to update them on Annie’s condition.Tears rolled down Nora’s cheeks as she silently prayed for Annie and the baby's safety. She knew how bad Eric wanted this baby and losing the baby will break him and Annie who was already attached to the little one.The ambulance arrived six minutes after Nora’s call and they brought her to Saint Mary’s hos
After they cried and there were no more tears left, Annie pulled away from his embrace and looked into his eyes to apologize again. “I’m so sorry.”He caressed her cheeks. “It’s not your fault.”She bit her lip to stop herself from crying. “If only I had paid more attention, maybe we wouldn’t have lost him.”
Eric pulled up in the driveway and went to open the door for her. “Welcome home sweetheart.” He smiled as he lifted her in a bridal style.“I’m happy to be home.” She said, snuggling against his chest. She was tired of staying in the hospital and Doctor Myers made her stay a day extra to ensure she was perfectly okay before she was discharged.Eric walked into the mansion with Annie in his arms and placed her on a couch in the living room.
Eric stretched his hand to the other side of the bed and noticed it was cold and empty. He slowly opened his eyes and Annie was nowhere to be found on her side of the bed.Eric adjusted the duvet and made his way out of the bed. His first stop was the bathroom but Annie was not there. He was about to go downstairs to go look for her when something caught his attention. He heard someone singing; He followed the voice and traced it to their baby’s bedroom where he found Annie sitting on a rocking chair beside the window.
Heaven knew she had been in love with him for a very long time. It all started as a crush when she was in high school, and after high school, she was the most updated person whenever it came to any news about him.When she first got pregnant and heard he was the father of her baby, she didn’t know what to expect or how to react. It was as if fate was playing with
