Everything has been pretty normal after that day at the house. I don't know if I should be happy about it or scared that this could be the calm before the storm. "Love, they're waiting for us." Gavin said as he finished putting on his clothes. Andrea invited us for lunch to celebrate. She and Xander just bought a house on the outskirts of town and she had been babbling to me about it the whole week. They would also be having a gender reveal later, and that's actually what I'm excited about. "I"m almost done." I said to him and put on the finishing touches with my makeup. "What is that?" I exclaimed as turned to him after I smelled something bad. The scent hit my nose so hard that I had I felt like I was about to hurl. "What is what, love?" Gavin asked looking so confused. "That..." I couldn't finish my sentence because I felt the food in my stomach jump up my throat. I ran to the bathroom as my stomach did a somersault and I started hurling as soon as I sat on the floor with
"Are you sure you can come to work, love?" Gavin asked me as we were getting ready for work. He's been worried about me throughout the weekend, and I couldn't blame him. I was feeling a bit under the weather the whole weekend and even my parents noticed. "I'm fine, love. Besides, I still have tons of work to finish this week so I have to get a head start." I reassured him. I don't think I convinced him enough but he knows that he couldn't do anything to change my mind. "Fine." He said, giving in. "But tell me if you feel anything weird, okay?" He said to me and I just nodded at him as I finished putting on my lipstick. "So, how was your mom and dad's vacation?" I asked him as we drove off. His parents just got back from an out-of-the-country vacation and I wasn't able to come with him last night to their house, because I wasn't feeling very well. "They are a little bummed that you couldn't come to dinner last night but they understood that you weren't feeling fine so they just gav
"It could be anemia based on all the symptoms that you said to me, but we can't still be sure about it. We would need to do some laboratory tests on her to have a proper diagnosis." I heard a familiar voice say, but I can't put a finger on it. "Thank you, Caleb." Oh yeah, I remember. That voice is from my high school friend Caleb but I didn't need help in recognizing the voice of the man that he was talking to. "Gav?" I called out to him as I regained my consciousness. "Cath? Are you okay? Does it hurt anywhere?" He asked me and I slowly shook my head at him. "I'm fine. Just a bit of a headache." I said to him and then my tummy began rumbling. "And I am a bit hungry." I continued with a smile. "Do you feel anything out of the ordinary, Zoe?" Caleb asked as he got closer to me. "As of now, I don't think so. I honestly feel fine. Minus the headache." I answered him. "Does this often happen to you? I mean the vomiting and the dizziness?" He asked me, making me think about it more.
"Are you excited, love?" Gavin asked me as he placed his hands on my shoulder as I was sitting in front of my vanity mirror. I looked at his reflection and all my doubts were washed away just by looking at his smiling face. "I am. I'm just a bit scared." I said to him as I leaned my head on his arm. "It's gonna be fun. Everyone is gonna be happy for us." He said to me as he wrapped his arms around me. "Yeah. You're right." I said to him as I turned around to face him and wrap my arms around him too. We decided to invite both of our families, including Andrea and Xander for dinner. Both me and Gavin wanted everyone we care about to know about our pregnancy from us. We weren't planning it, but we are both happy and excited for the baby. We thought it was fitting to do the announcement at the restaurant we first have dinner, so we rented out a private room there. "Are you done?" He asked me as he pulled away from the hug. I turned back to my vanity and put on some finishing touche
The announcement actually went better than we expected. Everybody was on a high with happiness, until we all finished every bite of the dessert and drop of the white wine that was served. "So, are you guys planning on having your wedding before or after your baby is born?" Gabby suddenly asked. "We kinda haven't figured it out yet." I answered her honestly. "Yeah. We just found out about our baby two days ago, so we haven't talked about it yet. We just wanted to let you all know as soon as we can." Gavin added and they just nodded at us. "Yeah, with everything that's going on with the Landers." Zab suddenly said that shocked me a bit. "Zab!" I called out to her, wanting her to stop. "What? All I'm saying is that it's gonna be hard for you two to come out in public when you have a big belly." she continued. I looked at her and then looked at Grayson. Her eyes then widened and I knew that she finally realized what she just said. "Oh my gosh. Grayson. I didn't mean it that way. I'
I answered the call immediately, without even looking at who it was. "Hello?" I asked the caller. "Zoe?" and I immediately recognized the voice, it was Zab. I let out a breath of air that I didn't even know that I was holding. "Oh gosh. Please tell me you have good news?" I said to her as I looked at Gavin nervously. "I'm afraid not, sister." She began and I could feel a lump forming in my throat. "The Landers called and they are on their way here at the mansion as we're speaking." "What?" I exclaimed, stunned at the information. "They are coming here. So get your butt here right now." She said to me. "And bring Gavin." "Okay. We'll be right there." I replied to her before ending our call. "What is it?" Gavin asked me as soon as I put down the phone. "We need to go." I said to him and before he could ask any more questions, I stood up from my seat and went to our bedroom to change clothes. "Love, what is it?" He asked again, as he followed me inside our bedroom. "The Lande
After that lunch with the Landers, all the commotion has finally died down. My parents stuck with their promise and released invitations for the upcoming party. As they said, they invited almost everybody who’s anybody in every industry, including some people for the press. “So, do we have a color scheme that you want to go with?” The store attendant asked us, as me, Zab, and my mom waltzed into the store. “Nothing in particular.” My mom said to her as me and Zab walked away from her to look at the other things in the store. “Just not red.” She added. Red is the color that Ruby, I mean Cam wanted to wear. Yes, I called her Cam. We’re all starting to get used to calling her that, but she has legally changed her name to Camilla Zaila Aragon and we, her family, couldn’t be happier for her. “Are you sure you want to?” Our mom asked after she brought out the topic. “I’ve been thinking a lot about it since our first dinner after I found out and at first I didn’t want to because I grew u
All of us gathered at the stage and plastered smiles across our faces. It is finally starting, the highlight of the night. I knew Cam, must have been so bored waiting in her room, an hour into the party, but it was finally time. Our mom grabbed the microphone as she stood side by side with our dad as me and Zab stood on both ends of the line. Gavin, Grayson, and Charlie were all in the front row. My eyes locked on Gavin and we both smiled at each other. “Good evening, everyone.” My mom started. “Is everyone enjoying the party?” She asked, receiving a huge response from the crowd. “That’s good.” She said. “First of all, I would like to thank all of you for coming to this party. For taking time out of your busy schedules to celebrate this momentous occasion with our family. So without further ado, let me call on Grayson Landers to join us on the stage.” Grayson weaved his way through the crowd and finally got to the stage, standing beside me. “Grayson is currently the acting CEO of
