Theon

A relief came over me as I heard Sam's answer, it gave me a light at the end of the whole situation. It wouldn't be easy, but we could make it work. For the sake of that child, we would make it work.

" Thank you so much," I sighed, hugging her. 

" It was nothing," she assured me, looking a little embarrassed.

" Come on, you better get out of this sun," I stood up, helping her out.

Samantha smiled, walking beside me with a calmer expression. I let my mind wander for a moment to the day before, when I didn't know everything that awaited me. I had been happy with Harper, And now I don't even know what awaits me from this point on.

Will she take it well? How can I tell her something like this? And my family, what will they think of all this?

" Well, how will all this work out? " Samantha's voice brought me back from my reverie, as we approached her apartment.

" What do you mean?”

" What is your city like? When can I move, where will I live? " she explained.

" Ahh yes," I frowned.

We still had a lot to organize, but she looked exhausted.

" And then? " she looked at me suspiciously.

" Why don't you get some rest now and we can settle all this over dinner? " I proposed, "I need to find Gregor to get a hotel room for the night, but we can talk later.”

Samantha pondered this for a few moments before answering.

" Is your cousin coming too? " she looked at me.

" Do you want him to come?

" I don't know, I think it would be good to meet someone from the city. If that's not a problem for you.”

" No, no problem at all," I assured her, "if that's what you want.”

" Okay, then I'll see you later," she smiled before entering the building.

It wasn't the sexy smile I had known before, this one was loaded with relief. Samantha was a beautiful woman, in fact, she was much more than that. She was the kind of woman who would make any man get down on his knees at her feet to fulfill her desires for a simple smile.

Her voice, her looks, her body, her face, her hair... Everything seemed ready for the temptation of all the mortals who stood in her way. She exuded sensuality, and this is what attracted me to her from the beginning. But at this moment, stripped of all her haze of sensuality, she still retained that stunning beauty, but also exuded all the insecurity of a frightened child, and I think I might be the same way. 

I watched her disappear into the building as she bounced up the stairs, and walked back as soon as she disappeared upstairs, grabbing my cell phone and calling Gregor. I needed to find him and get everything sorted out by dinner. 

In our conversation I found out that he had already gotten us a room for the night, which made things a little easier. I headed in the direction of the hotel he had indicated, remembering the feeling that came over me as my hand rested on Samantha's belly. My son was there. The realization that I would be a father in a few months was still strange. I felt scared about it, but at the same time I wanted to make it work, and be the best father I could be.

As soon as I arrived at the hotel, I took a shower after informing my cousin that we should pick up Samantha for dinner later.He didn't oppose the plan, separating the clothes he would wear. A few hours later, we made our way to the agreed location to meet the future mother of my son, who, to my surprise, was accompanied.

Not that I was opposed to this, but I expected Samantha to go alone. Next to her was one of the girls who danced with her, the girl was small and had short blonde hair that gave her a jovial look.

" Samantha, it's a great pleasure to see you again so soon " Gregor came forward, extending his hand to the girl.

" Thank you, Gregor," she smiled, "this is my friend Charlie, we live together. She is the one who attended to you earlier today."

I greeted her before entering the restaurant, waiting for the hostess to guide us to our table. A silence fell over the group until we were settled, and then Charlie decided to speak up.

" So, Theon, Samantha told me about your proposal," she cut to the chase, drawing the immediate attention of my cousin, who had focused on the drink menu, reminding me that I hadn't told him everything Samantha and I had decided earlier.

" Proposal? What proposal? " he asked hurriedly, "Did Theon propose something to you?”

" Well, yes? " she frowned, looking confused. 

" We both talked it over and came to the conclusion that since we're going to have the baby, it would be best…”

Gregor stood up, giving me a serious look before he spoke again, interrupting my explanation.

" Theon, can I talk to you for a moment? " he practically growled.

Samantha looked lost at my cousin's reaction, Gregor had surely got it all wrong, but in any case, it wasn't his problem.

" Gregor, sit down. It's not what you think," I murmured.

"Is there a problem with my moving? "Samantha alternated her gaze between us as Charlie stared at us.

" I'm starting to think you shouldn't go," she whispered to her friend, to my dismay.

" There's no problem, what we agreed is what counts, Samantha," I assured, "I just haven't had time to tell Gregor what we agreed.”

" And what did you agree on? " my cousin crossed his arms and sat down again.

" Samantha was planning to move out of Vegas, and I invited her to move to Aspen " I explained " that was the proposal.”

"Ohh, I see. I thought he asked you to marry him! " he looked relieved.

Did he really think that I would ask someone I hardly knew to marry me just because of a child?

" Marriage? Are you out of your mind? " Samantha stared at him in shock.

" What? He said something about a proposal.”

" They barely know each other," Charlie pointed out.

" And they're having a baby," he shrugged.

" I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I'm not the "stay together for the kids" type," Samantha returned with a grimace, "I just thought it would be nice to be close to the father of my baby.”

" Why don't we make our own requests? " I sighed as I realized that we hadn't even opened the menu. 

We focused on the food for a while, trying to dispel the strange atmosphere that had taken over the table.

" All right, I think we need to sort some things out," Samantha spoke up again.

" When do you plan to move? " Charlie asked.

" I don't know, there's nothing holding me here," she shrugged, "I'm not working or anything.”

" And you have a way to support yourself? " Gregor looked worried.

" I have some savings and I can ask my parents for help," she began "And I also plan to get a job."

.

" For that you would have to tell them," Charlie hummed, drawing my attention.

She hasn't told her parents yet? That reminded me of my sister's situation, and I know how terrified she was of telling us about the situation she had gotten herself into.

" If you go to Aspen, employment won't be a problem," Gregor said, "Theon can handle it.”

" Yes, I can," I agreed thoughtfully.

I could get something for her, and, as a last resort, I could put her in the store or something.

" Well, I can move out as soon as I get a place to live," Samantha shrugged, "I have to get a new OB too.”

" I'll look into some places," I assured her.

Finally, after much conversation, we decided that Samantha would move out in ten days, which was enough time for me to find her a place to live. As a last resort, I would put her up in a hotel until I could find a place.

We also agreed that she would fly to Denver, where I would pick her up with her move and take her to Aspen. Now it was just a matter of waiting for the moving day to arrive.

It was good to know that we could handle this amicably, I was a responsible man and would never run away, but I know that the fact that she accepted and respected my relationship, and even moved closer so that I could have contact with the child, showed a little of her character, something that I was not able to appreciate in our short involvement.

    Theon" Are you ready? " I called out to Sam as I made sure that Henry didn't get dirty.I was in the living room, waiting for her to finish getting ready so we could go to the ceremony that awaited us, but she was taking longer than I thought." I'll be down in a minute, Apollo," she shouted in reply, "don't let the pancake get Henry dirty.”I watched my one-and-a-half year old boy lying on top of the dog with an angelic smile on his face. Maybe we should get him out of there before his mother comes downstairs." Henry, come with Daddy," I called, bending down to meet him.He lifted his head, which had been resting on the dog's back, and opened his smile even wider when he saw me gesturing to call him." Papa," he stammered, struggling to get up before running toward me in faltering steps.He was wearing a small tuxedo and his slightly curly hair, like his mother's, was adorably messy; he will steal the spotlight at this wedding.

    Theon I made my way to the maternity waiting room where everyone was waiting anxiously for some news. Carl and Selena were the first to see me and soon stood up. " Adamos, what happened? " Carl asked. " Henry decided to be a few weeks early, but everything is fine. He is perfect and healthy," I smiled as I remembered my little boy. He was better than I imagined, much better. " What does he look like? Can we see him? " Lara asked anxiously. All the excitement seemed to have served to make her momentarily forget everything that had happened that night. " He's with Sam in postpartum, he'll be there for a while," I explained, "Does anyone know about the…” I fell silent as I saw Callie coming down the hall beside Harper, the two of them talking quietly, while Daphne, who had just started to take her first steps, ran awkwardly in front of them. " Callie put them in the corner there," my mother pointed to Sam's two suitcases. " Thank you. I'll take them up to the bedroom.” I felt

    SamanthaEveryone remained silent for seconds, not sure what to do before I decided to take action." I'll go…”I indicated the stairs without needing to explain much." Sure, I'll wait for you here," Theon assured me." Yeah, maybe it's better if someone neutral handles this," Iris endorsed.I nodded and went upstairs, in time to see Delphine approach Theon.She was certainly going to question him about his line from earlier.I walked uncertainly to the door of the room where we had been getting ready and exchanging confidences a few hours before. Poor Lara, I couldn't imagine what awaited her.I heard the doorbell ring, reminding me that the rest of the family would have some work to do to dispose of the ruined party guests. At least I could help here.Once again I felt that discomfort when Henry moved, followed by a slight pain in my groin. I tried to adjust the pants I was wearing comfortably before I knocked on the door, hearing the muffled cry coming from inside the room." Lara

    SamanthaTheon parked the car in front of his mother's house again, it had been over two hours since we had left to go after Marcus and we didn't know what we would find there.Theon, however, didn't seem to want to burst the bubble of happiness we had created inside that car, and I couldn't blame him for that. For me, just our conversation in that car was enough to make me forget about the whole mess that had happened.Theon leaned in and kissed me again, erasing from my mind anything but the two of us. I brought my hand to the back of his neck, tangling my fingers in his hair.I couldn't believe I had run away from this for so long, this was all I needed, and Henry certainly agreed with me, as he kept moving inside me.But reality couldn't allow us to run away for so long, altered voices coming from inside the house caused us to separate immediately. Theon took a deep breath, looking worriedly at one of the windows." We have to get back there, don't we? " he looked tired." If we d

    Theon Rushing footsteps followed me and I didn't have to look to find out who was following me. I could still hear my two sisters' argument getting louder and louder." Where are you going, Apollo? " Sam asked, panting as she struggled to keep up." Don't run," I murmured." Then walk slower," she pleaded as we reached the stairs.I complied with her request to prevent her from rushing up the stairs, but my mind was made up, Marcus would learn to keep his distance from any of my sisters!" Where are you going? " Sam asked again." I'm going to kill that bastard," I muttered, expecting her to try to stop me.My mother and sister were in the living room, looking startled at the confusion unfolding upstairs." Theon, what happened?

    Theon I parked the car in front of Sam's house, sending her a message to let her know that I had arrived. I was on my way to my mother's house when I received a call from Lara asking me to pick up the mother of my son. It seems that Sam had arranged with Lara to help her get ready for the party.Sam and I had become somewhat closer again after I had gone to her house two days ago, not quite the kind of closeness we were used to, but it was something. In fact, I was beginning to wonder if maybe I should have some hope for the future, since from the comments I heard, Sam was no longer with Mike Laffay.I was trying not to delude myself so much, not after everything that happened at Christmas, but it was still hard to deny that I still had feelings for her.Samantha left her house, hurrying to get into the car because of the snow that had been falling insistently since yesterday. It was the beginning of February and her belly was getting bigger and bigger, we had already started the cou
