Harry watched his wife as she fed Emma. He had to ask her what had happened with Deanna.

Emma fell asleep.

"Laura, what did you and Deanna talk about yesterday?" He kept his voice calm, but tension tightened his jaw.

"Why are you asking?" She didn’t look up, focused on adjusting the blanket around Emma.

"She looked awful. She was crying. Tell me what happened." 

"I told her what she needed to know, Harry."

"Know?" 

"Yes, I told her the whole truth. Everything you never wanted her to find out. About Frank. About why you asked her to marry Daniel. The truth—that you're leaving us because you're in love with her."

  • A Wife For My Brother   Dad, you are my first love.

    Ethan Crusher approached her slowly, looking at her first from the doorway as he rocked his little sister and sang her to sleep. Deanna looked up and saw his curious, bright gaze, which he had always had. A young gentleman; and he was so big now.Encouraged by her smile, he entered. To him, she wasn't his mother, as she was to Jonathan; she was his friend. Emily was always present in his memory and in his heart. And from her, he had inherited his eyes and smile, his hair and elegant manners. His build and stern expression were Daniel's.“How are they?” he asked in a whisper.“They're fine...”“And you?”“I'm fine too.”He sat down nearby, taking one of the pink bunnies in his hands.“Tell me what's wrong,” Deanna said.“I have doubts... about college.”“What's wrong?”“I'll have to go far away... It's exciting, but it also scares me a little. I don't want to disappoint Dad.”“I doubt you could do anything to disappoint him. You're his pride and joy.”“Yes, and that weighs on me a litt

    Returning home with her daughters presented another challenge for Deanna. If it weren't for Daniel's experience, she would surely have lost her mind.“I don't understand why you have so many doubts, honey.”“I want to do it right.”“And you will, you always do. I understand that it's natural for women to take care of babies... Although I don't know how it works,” he said, leaning over one of the girls' cribs.“You're not helping, Leonard.”“But I can learn, and if I can, so can you. Besides, that idiot knows a lot more than we do.”Deanna looked at her father for a moment, the look of wonder on his face.“It looks like you've never seen a baby before,” she said.“I have, but not this pretty. It's... amazing.”“Have you thought about having children with Susan?”“Huh? At my age? No... Susan told me she doesn't want to have children, and I respect that... To be honest, I don't know if I'd be a good father... I don't know if I'll be a good husband.”“What if she changes her mind one day?

    As the hours passed, it became more difficult. She couldn't stand, she couldn't sit, she couldn't lie down. Her face went from a smile to a grimace of pain; Daniel held her, caressed her, massaged her, did everything he could, but he knew it was all up to Deanna.Until the pain became unbearable; the doctor did one last check and announced that they were ready to begin.“I want my mommy!” she cried to Daniel.She looked like a frightened little girl, and of course, Daniel looked over and motioned for Philippa to come in. She took her hand, caressing her face and offering words of encouragement.“Here comes the first one, Deanna, push...” the doctor urged her.Daniel held her other hand, amazed to say the least. His wife's face was contorted and she was panting heavily. They exchanged glances, he kissed her forehead; the effort was so great that tears began to fall from Deanna's eyes.“You're wonderful, you're doing great... I love you,” he said, half scared.And then she heard it: her

    Susan waited for them in Leonard's car. It was Ethan's last year of high school, and he was about to start college. When they saw her standing there, they were surprised.“Auntie, how are you?“ Naomi greeted her.“Hello, kids...”“What are you doing here?” Ethan asked.“I came to pick you up because Daniel and Deanna are at the hospital. Your sisters are about to be born.”Naomi screamed uncontrollably! She practically dragged everyone to the car.“Calm down, Naomi, there's still time. Don't get nervous,” Susan tried to calm her down.“My sisters are coming! I want to get there!”For some reason, of the three siblings, she was the most anxious. She was finally going to have sisters. Yes, they would be a few years older, but she wouldn't be alone. Throughout the pregnancy, she had spent a small fortune on little dresses, hair ribbons, tiny shoes, and everything else in duplicate. She was overwhelmed with excitement.Ethan, on the other hand, didn't quite know how to feel. He was happy

  • A Wife For My Brother   Audrey y Grace

    The day had arrived; the day everyone had been waiting for. Her obstetrician had warned her that multiple pregnancies often resulted in delivery before 37 weeks; that if it happened, she shouldn't panic, even if the girls were born a little premature, as this was to be expected.And Deanna felt it, like a premonition, that morning. Something inside her was telling her, her body was screaming at her. But she told Daniel to take the children to school as usual and go to work, that she felt fine and it was probably just another discomfort. She stayed in bed; she had a strange, uncomfortable feeling in her chest.During those last few weeks, she rarely got out of bed, it was very difficult for her, and her husband insisted that she stay calm, that he would take care of everything and that she should rest. She took advantage of the time to finish reading that pile of books she always left half-read, and that's what she was doing when she felt moisture wetting the sheets.She found a large

  • A Wife For My Brother   The night of the fireflies

    “I want to show you something,“ Daniel said, taking her by the hand.“What is it?”“It's a surprise, come on...”Deanna stood up, she was in the final stretch, she could feel it. With some difficulty, she let her husband take her by the hand to the door of what would be their daughters' room.“You mustn't look,” he warned her.Deanna covered her eyes with both hands, and he made sure she wasn't peeking. He opened the door and, with one hand on her back, guided her inside.“Okay, you can look now.”In the center of the room, between the two cribs, Daniel had placed a low table. On it, a lamp spun on its base, emitting colored lights, and for each light, the shape of a firefly was reflected on the ceiling, walls, and furniture. It looked like a starry sky.“God... It's beautiful,” Deanna said with a smile.And he looked proud of his achievement, of his little gift.“Explain something to me...” she said.“What?”“Where did you come from? How do you do such beautiful things with that seri

  • A Wife For My Brother   A mother's heart is where we will always find refuge

    Camila entered Daniel's house as she always did: as if it were her own. Deanna was a little surprised to see her. Although the relationship between the two women had improved greatly, Camila was still a little embarrassed about the things she had done and didn't know exactly how to make amends.So when Daniel called her to ask her to talk to his wife and help her, she was happy and glad to be able to do something for her. She arrived with lots of bags, lots of things for the girls. She wasn't very demonstrative, but she was as anxious as she was with any of her grandchildren for the twins to arrive. Anxious like any grandmother.“Dear, how are you?”“Hi, Camila, I'm fine... What are you doing here?”Camila put the bags on the floor.“I came to bring some gifts for my granddaughters,” she said, sitting down across from Deanna, ”and to talk to you.”Deanna looked at her a little confused. Talk about what? She waited for Camila to start. She just sighed and had another burst of sincerity

  • A Wife For My Brother   No one is born knowing everything

    Deanna's pregnancy began to complicate even the most routine and simple tasks. Her back was killing her, her legs were swollen, and bending over was no longer an option. Even something as simple as putting on a pair of shoes was now a thing of the past. Daniel watched her with concern; although the first few months had gone smoothly, her belly was growing rapidly.She had always been a petite woman with a small waist and a fragile appearance. A single pregnancy was one thing, but a double pregnancy was another, and although she endured it with difficulty, the pain and discomfort sometimes put her in a terrible mood. She began to feel useless and frustrated.The situation was not easy. Every day seemed to bring a new challenge with her pregnancy, and the complications were not limited to the physical aspects. The feeling of helplessness and frustration that overwhelmed her was mixed with the fear that grew along with her daughters. At times, she felt like she didn't know what to do.Da

  • A Wife For My Brother   I'm only okay with you

    For his part, Leonard was suddenly facing another aspect he didn't know. His years of marriage had never given him what he now shared with Susan; his countless affairs with young women had not shown him this strange side of himself, which could overwhelm him as much as it enchanted him.After getting engaged, even though they lived separately, Susan and Leonard began to spend more time together, to experience living as a couple. He wasn't used to that kind of intimacy, to the simple, ordinary moments shared on a daily basis. Dear Leonard, in his 50s, was learning new things.Getting married without love, spending years with someone he didn't love and who didn't love him, meant an emotional distance more than a physical one. Because even though they lived under the same roof, for him it was the same as being alone. He didn't participate in anything, he didn't care about anything, and he escaped from that cold place whenever he could, until finally, he stopped escaping and simply disapp
