"Baby, hello earth to Lily."I blinked and then looked at Liam, who was stuffing his face with the pizza we had ordered from Costco before heading back to my house after shopping."Sorry, just daydreaming," I said and took a bite of my pepperoni dab with Tapatio sauce. I'm pregnant, so what? "Papa Wayne is redecorating the nursery room since we are having a baby boy."Liam is munching on his pizza before drowning it in his soda drink. "A boy," he smiled. "I can't believe we are having a boy.""So is Athena.""I can't wait to hold him."I chuckle.I lean back against my seat and gently rub my round belly. After the party, Effie organized, with Terry's help, to set up the gender reveal. All decorations were blue and pink, from balloons, confetti, party cups, and desserts. She had ordered two round white cakes which had the color of Athena and I's baby gender. We each had the cake; Athena and Rex held a knife as I did with Liam. Once it was ready to cut the cake, blue metallic candy conf
Every day I'm at Liam's house, and I love him more and more. Some nights he will have nightmares, talking in his sleep and sweating like he has been French by the rain.I would wake up in the middle of the night and find him struggling. I would envelop him in my arms and chest, and instantly he would stop the night terrors. Im scared and felt sympathy for him. I wanted it to end. I guess it's wrong for me to learn of his past. But I think he had that nightmare before he met me.I don't know if his brother knew of his night terrors, but it isn't something he should keep hidden from his family. But Liam is stubborn. I'm going through another obstacle if I ask him about his night terror."Well, Lily, how are you today?"I look up from the magazine I have in my hand as if I'm interested in a celebrities scandal and change face to see Doctor Warren."Hello, Doctor Warren," I smile. "I'm fine.""Oh, please, call me Paul. You are stunning as ever. The baby is almost at the due date. Please c
I spent most of the day with Mark and Hannah before they went back home.I had fun with my sister-in-law as we talked about babies, cute clothes, and more about babies. We are just two young women ready to be mom's well. I am, and Hannah is not there yet. I mean, she has four babies on the way. I am still determining how they are going to handle it. But I'll be praying for them, especially Mark.After Mark dropped me off at home, I noticed Terry's Ferrari parked in front of my house. I took a step when I found something red on the floor. Carefully crouching down, I tapped the red liquid on the tip of my finger and rubbed it. It has the scent of melted iron.Blood.The blood leads a trail of it to the entrance of my backyard. As curious as I am, I followed it as if I handled it myself. My parents aren't home, and I was about to head to Effie's house after I changed, but this seems more important as to why Terry's car is here and blood trails.I stood In front of the pool house and saw
"Terry!"We all turn our heads to find Effie at the front door of my house with Logan and Liam behind her. Terry quickly put on my dad's old shirt that covers her breast."Damn, Terry, you look like shit," Logan commented."Right back at you," She smirks. Logan got into a fight."Logan and I were at the movies earlier, and let's just say a guy grabbed my ass trying to go to the bathroom.""Yeah, twiny here kicked his ass." Liam pats his brother on the shoulder."Anyways, oh my god, Terry," she gasps at the sight of Terry all beaten up. Effie sits next to Terry on the couch. She reaches for her face, making Terry winch. "Sorry, does it still hurt?""It's not so bad," Terry gently pulls Effie's hand away. "I'm fine, Miss Effie.""Minus the Miss. What happened? Lily didn't go into detail and just told me you got hurt."Terry glances her eyes at me."Sorry, I have to call her," I say as Liam sits beside me. Wrap his arms around my shoulder and pulled me back to rest against him while he r
"I can not believe you're pregnant, Effie," Clark squealed and rubbed, bed her stomach. "My two best friends will be moms; well, Effie is already a mom raising Zara. But oh my god, I'm going to be your children's godmother."I look at Effie, and we both smile. We haven't seen Clark since he and his dad fought. He and his mom left him and lived with Sam, to which Sam agreed and is already a good son-in-law. It's a small apartment, but they plan to find a house somewhere in Malibu, away from Clark's dad.I think it's good, but knowing he is a big-shot lawyer in LA, he would do anything to get them back, especially with the domestic violence and abuse. I heard this all from Effie, and despite my hate for him before for what he did to her, I couldn't help but feel sympathy towards him. I never thought the perfect prince of the school could have a dark side story in his life."I am going to be the godmother, right?"I chuckled, looking through baby clothes as we chilled in the poolside."D
"Lily!" I abruptly stop at once, hearing my name. I haven't seen her since I told her off, but here she is at the same supermarket. Why would a woman like her be here? I pivot my feet and look the other way as if I did not see her. "Lily," she calls for me again, and I pretend I did not hear and continue to shoemaking dinner tonight night, t and Liam is coming with my parents for the first ti. He's a bit nervous, especially with Wayne. With all the heartbreaks and making out between Liam and me, Daddy doubts Liam is my boyfriend. He was worried that Liam would break my heart again, so he allowed Liam to join us for dinner tonight for the first time. "Lily Peters." I came to a halt and groaned. The woman I did not want to see in all places made herself stand in front of me and my shopping. "What?" "Is that any way to speak to your grandmother?" I rolled my eyes. "I only have one, and her name is Bernadette. Now will you excuse me, I got some shopping to do." "Wait," Seema, stop
After school, I was called to Miss Bloomfield's office. The lady with the large rim glasses glares at me, trying to read what is going through my mind after she learns I'm pregnant."So, Miss Peters. I assume your role as Princess Jasmin will be difficult for a pregnant girl."I bite my lower lips and hold my round belly. "I'm afraid someone has to play the part."Mrs. Bloomfield let out a sigh. "It can't be helped." She sighed again. "I don't understand these teenagers when it comes to dating. Have any of you heard of protection? Condoms? I got married when I was in my thirties.""I'm sorry, Mrs. Bloomfield." I chuckled wry."Principle Brown well informed me about your pregnancy, and soon you will be on maternity leave. But what of graduation?""I can't attend the ceremony but will receive the diploma."Miss Bloomfield closed her eyes. "To be pregnant young and have not experienced the real world. Since you can't play Jasmine, someone else can.""Miss Bloomfield, if I may," I began.
"Great, everyone, let's do another round after a thirty-minute break for the scene with Effie and Robert singing A Whole New World, and then we will wrap it up." Mrs. Bloomfield announced.Everyone got off the stage and took their break by mingling.I sat in the audience as Effie, Logan, and Liam approached me with the look of wanting to sleep. I understand and get it because it's the weekend, and Mrs. Bloomfield has us in the auditorium early on a Friday. The seniors had no class, while the rest of the students took their finals."Oh my god, my feet hurt," Effie complained, plopping the seat next to me and lifting her feet on the chair in front of us."Tell me about it," rubbing my stomach. "But I think you are a theatre talent.""How are my babies?" Liam takes the seat on the other side of me. Kissed my cheek and then kissed my round belly.I smile.Logan, who looked glumly groaned sitting next to Effie, put an arm behind her head and glared at Robert."Babe, stop," Effie elbowed hi
