Samantha Why are they here? As hard as I tried to ignore their gaze on me, it was an impossible task, but I needed to pull myself together. The girls needed me, and if I didn't reassure them, who would?This encouraged me to finish the remaining minutes of the song without throwing up in the middle of the performance. As soon as the curtains closed after our thanks, I ran to the dressing room without even waiting for the girls. I wanted to disappear, but the blame for that situation was only mine. How can I take care of a child if I don't even have the courage to tell my parents about him?" I'll be a terrible mother," I groaned in disgust, sitting down on the locker room bench anyway.My only wish at the moment was to be alone there and prepare myself for what awaited me with my parents, but a stream of little dancers excited by the success of their performance prevented that.I quickly wiped away the tears that were streaming down my face without even realizing it, forcing a smile
Samantha I stared at that statement. They doesn't want to go to Adamos house, do they?" Excuse-me, What? " I stammered." I want to meet the father of my grandson," he explained, "Your mother and I will change at the hotel, and come back here to pick up you and the Green girl.”" Dad, I can't bring guests to a lunch where I've already been invited," I tried to argue, following them to the door, "it would be rude!”" See Carl, and we thought the etiquette classes were a total waste of money," my mother sighed with false pride." You're right, it would be impolite, but the man invited us," my father reassured me, "by the way, it would be rude of him not to invite his own son's grandparents!”I felt a wave of panic start to wash over me. They can't come today! Not when all his family and friends will be there!" But... " I couldn't think of any other way to avoid that meeting." Samantha, let's put it this way. Either we meet him today, or we meet him at another time, without your sup
Theon " What did you say? " Sam asked, while I still watched her, stuck on the information her father had leaked earlier. Why was she crying, saying she was going through this alone? I have done my best to be there for her and help her in every detail. I know that our situation is not the best, especially with my newfound feelings for her, but I have been trying hard! " Sam, you're going to need help, we're not going to let you go through this alone anymore," her father declared once again, irritating me. " But she's not alone, I'm with her," I decided to speak up, "we're in this together, right, Sam?” " Yes, of course! Theon is right " she hurried to say " I know you worry, but…” " Samantha, even if he is willing to participate, and we are glad that he is, you have no idea how hard this is going to be " Selena explained. " Children are exhausting," my grandmother spoke up, although I wish she were somewhere else. I frowned trying to understand why Sam didn't want her parents t
Theon" Come on Theon, please give him a chance," Lara practically begged as I carried some of my mother's groceries into the house. It was the second week of December, and the snow had begun to fall outside. I had been avoiding the subject of Daphne's repentant father, and despite assuring Lara that I would support any of her decisions, I was still running away from that meeting." Lara, I told you I've been busy the last few days," I muttered, putting the groceries on the counter, "I don't have time right now, in half an hour I have to meet Sam for Lamaze.”" Come on, you're always inventing something up. I know he's made mistakes, but he's trying to make things right," she pleaded, "everyone has met him, Liny even said he's very kind and thoughtful!”" Lara.”" Come on, you've been through the same thing as him, you must understand…”" Don't compare me to him! I would never, never abandon Samantha and our son" I growled " and in my situation it would be easier if I did, I didn't e
Theon I kept silent as I drove her home, she seemed willing to talk, but my mind was stuck in everything I had been feeling. I left her at home and went to mine, canceling a date I had with Harper, saying that I would go to bed early because I had a headache. And that's what I tried to do. I took a shower, ate something I found in the fridge and went to bed, but sleep didn't come. I knew what needed to be done, but I didn't know how, and my mind spent the next few hours imagining a solution to the situation I had gotten myself into. I should not have allowed it to come to this!My cell phone began to vibrate on the nightstand beside the bed, I reached out to pick it up strangely seeing a message from Sam. It was after two in the morning, I wondered if something had happened."Are you awake?"I decided to call her at once and find out what the problem was and was answered on the first ring." Did I wake you up? " Her voice had a guilty tone to it." No, I was awake. Did something h
Theon I left Samantha’s house in the morning, she looked exhausted, and I was not so different. Sleepiness began to overtake me and all I wanted to do was lie down and sleep. I noticed a missed call from Harper on my cell phone, followed by a few messages asking if I had gotten better and letting me know that she would be home later.She had arranged something with my sister and wanted me to accompany her to my mother's house, which I didn't hesitate to accept. But at the same time, I felt terrible for not telling her where I spent last night.As soon as we arrived home, my sister invited her into the bedroom, while my mother was sewing something, sitting on the sofa in the living room." Mama, can we talk? " I approached, feeling distressed as Harper came up the stairs with Callie, who had committed herself to looking after Daphne while Lara was out.I knew what I should do, but I didn't know how to do it without hurting Harper. That was what worried me the most." Sure Theon... Is
TheonI ended the call then walked over to where my sister was talking to Harper, trying to understand what had happened between the two of us moments ago." Harper, I'm sorry, but Samantha…”" Theon, seriously, are you going to talk about Samantha now? " Callie rolled her eyes as Harper let out a nervous laugh through her tears." I know I should just focus on you right now, but she's going to the hospital, and.... “I felt my heart race as the seriousness of the situation hit me." Hospital? What about her? " Callie approached, looking worried, while my ex just watched me." A bleed. I don't know what happened, she just said she was going to the hospital," despair began to overwhelm me as I thought about what this could mean, "we chose his name yesterday, and now... “I felt my lungs closing up, making it harder to breathe with each second. The thought of losing him after everything was heavy, suffocating." Theon, hey " Harper held my hand in an attempt to reassure me " she'll be f
Theon I was in the store on Friday, finishing up some product orders when my cell phone started ringing. I frowned when I saw Samantha's picture on the screen and didn't take long to answer it." Sam, is there a problem?”" Theon I need your help," her voice came in a whisper and I heard her close a door.Worry washed over me as the countless possibilities flashed through my mind." It's nothing to do with the baby or me," she soothed me, as if she could guess what I was thinking, "but…”" Samantha, what happened? " I moved restlessly around the office." Your grandmother is in my office with a suitcase and two tickets to Vegas! " she lowered her voice even more " she forbade me to tell your family, and as much as I don't mind keeping her company, I don't want to travel alone with a crazy old woman!”Trip to Vegas!? What is my grandmother planning?" She's determined to go, I was wondering if you could come with us," she continued." She just showed up with her bags packed? " I took
