Chapter 93

Maya

Jess came back after putting little Emma to bed, Axel was right behind her as he had followed her like a hawk. I couldn’t understand my child anymore.

Axel arrived and immediately went to Nate who picked him up and made him sit on his legs while he ate. Nate would occasionally feed him and give him some of his chicken while Axel would be happy and still in his father’s arms.

I began to eat happy under the eyes of Jess scrutineers who never lost sight of me, sometimes she was worse than Lucas. I ignored her completely and continued to eat while Andrew and Nate talked.

It wasn’t that I didn’t want to tell her about the pregnancy, it was that I just wanted to stay in my bubble for a little longer. I didn’t want to have people around, I wanted to be alone with my children and my husband before the chaos broke out about my pregnancy and we were wrapped in a spiral of parties, parties, parties. <
