SamanthaI watched Pancake gnawing on a shoe in the corner of the room while I finished getting ready. I was to meet Mike in an hour, and I was feeling more anxious by the minute." Do you think I'm being hasty? " I questioned the beagle, attracting his attention, "I should be mad at you for ruining yet another shoe of mine, but I can't even think about it now, should I cancel?”He moved his ears, back to concentrating on my shoe, and I sighed audibly, putting aside the brush and picking up my cell phone. This was crazy! I couldn't go out with him. How would I explain the fact that I had a baby growing inside me?I was about to call the man and make up some excuse, when I remembered the scene at the Adamos house. The way I felt when I saw Theon with Harper was not right! I needed to get over it one way or another!Instead of calling Mike, I tried Charlie.She answered the video call on the second ring, dressed in a short leather police costume, in her dressing room before some show."
SamanthaDespite the troubled start, the rest of the dinner was pleasant. To my surprise, Mike was sympathetic after understanding the whole situation that I was in. He became a little more open after confirming that there was no romantic relationship between Theon and me.We didn't see time passing, and before we knew it, we were walking side by side, watching the starry Aspen sky as he walked me home, making small talk." So, you are preparing the girls for the Thanksgiving presentation," he began, with both hands in his coat pockets." Yes, I'm working hard on it, but they'll do fine," I assured him, feeling the cool breeze hitting my face." I wish I could watch.”Mike had told me that he was traveling to Pennsylvania to spend Thanksgiving with his family, so he would not be able to attend the children's performance at the theater in town." Well, there will always be other performances," I assured him watching my house pop up as we turned the corner, "that's where I live.”" Okay
" Can you stop stealing our baby's chocolate? " I complained as I watched Theon grab another chocolate from the box of chocolates we had bought on the way to Vail.Today we had another ultrasound appointment, and I was already seventeen weeks pregnant and hoped that we would be able to find out the sex on this scan." I think this baby has had enough chocolate," Theon scoffed, popping the candy into his mouth." Quiet," I murmured, "your grandmother said that I have to eat well.”" She means healthy foods, Sam," he picked up another candy, much to my displeasure."Don't you want to find out if it's a boy or a girl today? Then give the chocolate to the baby," he removed the candy wrapper." You are taking advantage of the situation," he put the candy in my mouth.A lady in her sixties was watching us with a small smile on her face."How long have you been married? " she finally asked, drawing our attention." We're not together," Theon seemed uncomfortable with the subject." Yes, he h
SamanthaThat little interaction served to dispel any remaining awkwardness between the two of us. We managed to keep it mild until we reached my house, where a large box on the porch reminded me of the favor I needed to ask him." Can you help me with something? " I asked before getting out of the car.He followed me curiously to the porch, I unlocked the door and pointed to the unopened box that was still there. I had received this package in the morning, but had not dared to move it when I realized how heavy it was." Can you take this upstairs for me? " I asked.He didn't think twice before stooping down, picking up the box and carrying it into the house, and then climbing the stairs. I followed him, showing him where he could put it, and sat down on the floor to open it." This is heavy, what did you buy? " Theon asked, standing beside me." A toolbox," I explained.That took him by surprise. He stooped down beside me, looking at everything in the box." Sam, why do you need a to
Theon" Really, Sam, you need to ask Iris to show you these pictures," Harper confided, drawing even more laughter from the other woman. Callie was so angry." Did you really freak out, Apollo?" Sam asked with a smile on her face, "I didn't know you were the type to be afraid of the public.”We were sitting on the floor of the empty room, eating some egg tarts that Harper had brought with the Chinese food. In the end, she helped me carry the disassembled furniture down to the basement, and seemed more at ease in the presence of the mother of my son." I didn't freak out, Samantha. I was six years old and I had a fight with my sister," I explained, "and my mother might as well burn those pictures!”" You'd better take advantage of that before he disappears, Sam," Harper whispered as I rolled my eyes." Damn right, I'll make a copy just to show the baby," she scoffed, "if you know of any more embarrassing pictures of him, you should tell me.”" Ohhh there is one, he was about fourteen y
Theon I walked into the ballet studio expecting to find the girls still rehearsing, but it seemed that class had ended early. Sam was standing alone, sideways to me, concentrating on an old song that was beginning to play. She was dressed in an 80's gym outfit. A low-cut black swimsuit, pink gaiters, and her hair was tied up in a high ponytail. She looked beautiful and incredibly sexy dressed like that, even though her body was beginning to change due to the pregnancy. In fact, I considered her more and more beautiful as the pregnancy progressed, and my affection for the mother of my son increased with every moment beside her, to the point of making me question if this was even a good and healthy thing, given our situation. She spun around, turning to the mirror, starting a sort of run that she soon interrupted, startled to notice my presence, she turned toward me with wide eyes. " Apollo, I didn't expect to see you here!” " Don't stop, I want to see it," I ordered as I approach
Theon I made my way to the bedroom only to find it empty. I went downstairs in search of the mother of my son, and saw her pacing back and forth in the kitchen, being closely followed by pancake, who was barking effusively at her legs. " What are you doing? " I questioned as I reached the room. The kitchen counter was full of ingredients, and she was busy chopping some tomatoes. " Sorry, I overheard your conversation with Harper and decided to make dinner. She won't make it in this rain, will she? " Sam smiled at me. " Well, no... But you didn't have to worry about cooking.” I didn't even know she cooked! " Don't be silly, I can do it without any problem," she smiled, "actually my father called me earlier and made me want Chilli, and luckily I have everything at home.” " Chilli? " I frowned as I saw the separate pots and the washed beans. " My grandmother makes the best Chilli con carne I've ever had," she explained. " And you are making your grandmother's Chilli? " I aske
SamanthaThe storm continued to rage outside as I stared up at the ceiling of my room that was occasionally lit by lightning. I felt physically exhausted, but I still couldn't force my mind to shut down after everything that had happened today.I hated my feelings for Theon. He could make me feel good for having him around, and guilty for being in love with the father of my child. This was not how it was supposed to happen.I got up after a few hours of rolling around in bed and walked to the baby's room, looking at the walls painted in a light pastel shade. Everything had turned out so beautiful, I couldn't wait to meet him. I walked carefully down the stairs to the kitchen and grabbed a small bottle of water from the fridge before going back upstairs. I stopped by the ajar door of the guest room that Theon occupied and stood there for a while, watching his sleep.He had a peaceful expression, ignoring the storm that's raging outside the house, and I felt the baby move softly inside
