"Are you okay, ma'am?" The nurse checking up on Isabella asked her with a smile.Isabella had just woken up a few minutes ago. She was surprised when she saw that Seth didn't leave her to get some sleep at home. When she complained that she was hungry, he promised to get her something and went out immediately."I feel better and lighter now that I don't have to carry two humans in my stomach and look like a hippopotamus." She joked with the nurse.The two of them shared a laugh and Isabella clutched her stomach a little."Are you okay?" The nurse asked her."I'm fine. I guess it's just the uterus contracting back to its right size." She assured the woman. "I guess I just have to minimize how loud I laugh for the time being." She chuckled softly."Oh, that's right," the nurse supported her. "I have to check on other mothers in the ward too. But don't worry, I'll be back to check on you later in the day." "Oh, okay then. Thank you for checking on me.""It's fine. After all, you are my f
"Congratulations to the newest parents in San Francisco!" Mrs. Allen, Seth's mother, screamed as she jumped into the room suddenly, startling the two people who were too busy ogling one another to even listen for footsteps.The loud scream seemed to bring Seth out of the dazed waves he placed himself in. Isabella oh the other hand quickly placed her exposed breast back into her dress since the baby in her arms had stopped crying."You forgot to mention Los Angeles too." Mrs. Rogers added to it as she popped in also.The two of them were oblivious to the interruption they caused between the two couples."Yeah, that's right." Mrs. Allen nodded her head in support.Mrs. Rogers clicked her tongue on the roof of her mouth to annoy her friend, B. When the other woman growled at her softly, she smiled and turned to her daughter. That was when she noticed the thick tension in the air."Were you two fighting again?" She asked as she looked from her daughter to Seth."No, mum," Isabella answere
Exactly a week later, Isabella, the newborn babies, Mrs. Allen, Mrs. Rogers, and Seth all filed into the Toyota Camry car that Seth had driven to the hospital that morning to pick them all up since Isabella and the babies got discharged earlier that morning."Are you happy now that you and your babies got discharged as you wanted?" Mrs. Allen asked Isabella who simply nodded."Yes, I am," Isabella answered. God knew that she hated hospital and she was already more than tired of her stay at the hospital. When no one had listened to her when she kept hinting that she wanted to be discharged, she had gone to the doctor's office to get herself discharged. But then, the doctor in charge told her that Seth had already gotten her discharged.That was thoughtful of him on his part, if she wanted to be honest with herself. But still, it doesn't mean that she wanted to have anything to do with him or even allow herself or her babies to be within a quarter mile of the man."Is everybody seated r
"I said who are you?" Isabella asked again. This time, her voice was no longer gentle like the first time she asked the same question.The blonde woman ignored her completely like she didn't exist and turned to Seth instead."This is it? The rat you chose to hang out with after we broke up?" She gestured at Isabella with a slight nod of her head in her direction."What are you talking about?" Isabella questioned again. Her patience was already running thin but she didn't want to appear rude to any of the Allen's family guests."You know what, sweetheart? Why don't you shut up like the slut that you are while I talk some sense into the man who asked you out?" The strange woman waved a hand at Isabella to dismiss her from her sight again.Isabella couldn't keep quite with what the woman said about her. How could she even think that she was a whore? Did she look all that cheap despite all the expensive things she was dressed in? To make sure that she truly didn't look cheap, she checked
"And why would I listen to you when your son that I broke his heart is not even worried about the heart in the first place?" Kaitlyn retorted to the older woman.Isabella gasped softly at how rude the blonde woman was. She knew she was not the only one since she heard other gasps too that didn't have the same sound pitch as hers.She risked another glance at Seth and shook her head at how lost he looked. Even though he was no longer touching the woman, she could still see that he was so deeply engrossed in the woman that he didn't allow himself to listen to everything she said to all the people around, including the insult to his mother.That was what did it for Isabella. The way the man was unresponding about the insult the blonde woman threatened his mother. If he wasn't saying anything to defend his mother's respect, then she refused to feel hurt because he didn't say anything to defend her."Mum, let's get out of here, please." She told her mother."Oh, okay." Her mother responded
Seth blinked rapidly as he lowered himself to the bar stool. Kaitlyn. Kaitlyn was here. She stared at him with a raised brow, her hair falling in straight waves over her shoulders. Her blue eyes seemed to dance in amusement as she took a seat beside him. He had loved her. With every breath, every part of him, Seth had given her his all. He stared at the glass of wine the bartender slid to him, staring at the bubbling froth at the top of the glass as memories of her assailed him. They had met at a party just like this one. Seven years ago. He had just graduated fresh out of college with big dreams to make his place in the world and have a family. That was pretty normal if anyone asked him. What man fresh out of college hadn't seen the world through rose-coloured glasses? When he had attended the party, it had simply been to honour an invitation of his friend. It had been pretty fun but things took a turn for phenomenal when Kaitlyn stepped into the ball.She had taken his breath aw
Tired. Hungry. BrokeThat was what Isabella was. Broke. And the mother of two crying babies who was determined to suck the life out of her. She had wanted to be a mother. For a long while, it had been her dream and lifelong goal, but as she sat on her bed, staring at the pinkish face and loud wide mouths of her crying babies, she was considering rescinding the goal. It was far too late to do so now anyways. She thought, as she lifted Samuel, who had started the whole crying fest. She had noticed that he was always the least satisfied one and always hungry. So freaking hungry. And once he started crying, his sister had no choice but to do the same. Sighing, she tucked out her breasts from her gown, her nipples throbbing from the constant sucking. They had no teeth yet but the force at which they latched onto her caused quite a lot of pain and she had to admit it hurt. .Without realizing. Tears streamed down her face and she closed her eyes leaning against the bed's headboard. Her m
When the clock struck two in the afternoon and the sun rose high in San Francisco's sky, Seth's eyes slowly opened from a long drowsy sleep. They caught the ceiling of the room and he blinked several times to adjust his vision.At first, he felt immobile, his legs and arm laid stiffly on the bed and his body felt too heavy to move. His head pounded as if a thousand speakers were playing on his brain and he groaned. Damn, he must've drunk a ton the day before. He hadn't done that in a while and now he knew why. Getting hungover was the worst of all consequences. Slowly, he tried rolling his toes to improve his blood circulation and tapped his fingers against the bed to wake them up. What had happened the night before that had made him drink so hard? Seth closed his eyes to recollect but his head hurt too much to try and sighed. He would need Advil. A good thing he was in his mother's house then. They may disagree a lot, but she always kept a glass of water and some Advil on the beds
