“Everything seems to be okay,” Allie concludes after blabbering about the scan, result of my urine test, as well as the condition of my cervix that is ready for labor, “Your due date is today but you’ve been having frequent contractions over the week, there is a chance of you going to labor on your own in a few days. So… do you want to wait till that happens or you want me to check you in for induction tomorrow?” I’ve never had this option before because during both pregnancies, I didn’t even feel the contraction up until the labor was induced. I opted for the induction because I was all alone, and was too tired of being pregnant thus wanted to get it done and over with since most of the time throughout the duration of the pregnancies, I went through them on my own due to Dean being missing for work. Unlike this one, Luca has been with me all the way, doing his best to make me feel comfortable with all those princess-y treatment. I even experience the Braxton Hicks contractions. Per

“A year ago you said you love me, I thought the woman you love should be your soft spot? I shouldn’t be treated like everyone else, but you treated me worse than anyone else since you knew about the pregnancy. If not for the doctor’s suggestion, you wouldn’t even touch me, or look at me. What happened, Luc? Why?”I’ve thought about it, of how things would be like once she is out of me. It’s either he would be cold and intolerant as he was, or completely shut me off without even seeing me- there’s a possibility of him hiring someone just to get our daughter to me for feeding sessions. That’s why today, when I started to feel the contractions going stronger and more frequent since the morning, I knew I had to have the talk before tomorrow comes. I might be in labor room by then and it would be too late because he won’t be talking to me anymore. “Why did you suddenly go missing every weekend? Sometimes for days, and you stopped talking to me. When you moved in, you at least acted like

All the hard work paid off because the next day when we had our check-up in the morning, Allie was surprised to discover I had already progressed with the labor, having 3cm dilation. I was in pain since six in the morning but I did not want to wake Luca, on top of the appointment just two hours later so I took it on my own, silently submerged myself in the bath tub, hoping I would have all the power in me to wait until at least he’s awake (naturally awake, that is). But of course, when he heard my answer to Allie’s question as to when did I start feeling the big contractions, he seemed so mad he went quiet the whole time though he only flipped out once we were out of her office- that I better not pull this kind of shit ever again as long as he lived. I said okay eventhough deep down, I knew I would repeat the same thing all over again because I knew we would still be in the waiting game even if we go to the hospital the moment I told him I had the massive contractions. Isn’t it bet

Luca Sinclair’s POVIt has officially been a week since I last saw the woman who gave birth to this new obsession of mine, the very same person whom I thought I was going to spend the rest of my life with regardless the conflicts arising between us. I am so glad how this little girl that is smaller than my biceps has taken up all my free time, though she did not take that person off my mind but rather made me think about her more, of how she is doing post delivery. If she is fine like she had been when we stayed at the hospital for three days, or if she suddenly experience some pain at home. If it were up to me, I’d rather take Suri to her myself for every feeding. But I know I can’t break the rules I’ve decided to put even before the delivery, and I damn know I have to be strong and stand by it. Honestly, this whole thing about not having any communication in any way with her, a clean cut, is the best step I have made so far. Because I would not dare to walk away anytime soon, esp

I haven't been very honest these days. You know how I agreed to be the milk maid post pregnancy, that I would not do anything beyond that because I have signed off my rights- he actually sent the papers on the fourth day when we came back from the hospital, legalised everything within the first week. The document dictates that he has Suri Sinclair's full custody but he would not stop me from seeing her, but of course, it would be with his permission. If we get to the technical part of it, well, yes, I had been abusing the agreement. But if we were to take it with a pinch of salt, I am actually doing as per agreement. He did say I can meet her, and he did give me the permission because he sent her over for the milk, it's just that instead of tiring the Nanny to come back and forth (bear in mind she is fifty-five years old already!) I told her that I'd just come upstairs and feed her in the nursery. ...and perhaps, I shouldn't tire myself out too because this is only my second week p

After three days of being a guest, the storm finally passed and I got to move downstairs again. It was already difficult to be in his presence all the time, because he refused to go to the office during this crucial time (if he calls growth spurt a crucial time, I'm not sure what would it be when she gets her first period), but come night when it was Emma's shift, he tend to be extra friendly as if he needed to show her we were more than just parents of Suri Sinclair. Whatever it is, I'm jail-free now.From one growth spurt to another, including the change of the nanny from a twenty-eight year old Emma to forty-nine year old Lilian, suddenly it is now Suri's second year into this world. My maternity leave was supposed to end on the sixth month but because of my stupidity to never train her with the bottles, I was forced to extend my leave for another six months; it was hard to handle the tantrum she threw when we started training her, until three months later we gave up as I sent a r

Luca Sinclair's POV“Okay, here’s one. Why do we call Deborah Deb?” She is back with another random topic, “Like, why not call her Bruh?” As expected, she giggles to herself with that lame joke, putting the phone that was used to video-call Deborah a few seconds ago in a sparkly clutch. Perhaps I am high from this drug I call Sophie Summers, but I chuckle seeing her being totally amused with that small enquiry, somewhat being contagious with the happy vibe she has been spreading since we arrive here. We have been compromising following the request I brought out to the table five months ago, about wanting another Suri. It took her two weeks until she finally responded, I thought it was a gone case because she had not said anything about it during the fourteen days duration. Life went on as usual, until she asked for another lunch and told me about her concerns. She did not want another baby, but she was tempted to have another Suri. She did not want to get pregnant, because she wan

Luca Sinclair’s POV“Merry Christmas, everyoneee!” I was lining up the mugs that are filled with hot chocolate, ready to distribute them to every person in this household when the Queen graces her presence at 7am on the dot. The kids woke up twenty minutes ago, already making noise at the living room about the presents that Sophie and I put under the Christmas tree last night after they went to bed, I surrendered to the chaos and immediately got up to ensure they were not going to wake my precious sleeping beauty that turns into a sly seducer come night, especially when I had tired her out till two in the morning. “Merry Christmas, Mummy!” The kids reply in a chaotic chorus, with Suri repeatedly jumping up and down, holding her hands out to Sophie, wanting to be carried. “Merry Christmas,” I approach her as she is already grabbing Suri, parking her on a hip, though that would not stop me from leaning over so we can start our day with the mandatory morning kiss. But a tiny hand dec
