LOGINMaeveAndro parked in front of the house; he switched off the engine, and we got out together. We arrived at the front door, and Andro unlocked it before letting us in. Nina looked up from the living room, and her face immediately brightened when she saw us. “You came back!” I smiled. “Of course. We decided to spend the night with you.” “Really?” Her smile widened. “That makes me happy. I was hoping you would stay.” Andro walked over and kissed her cheek. “We thought you could use some company.” Nina reached for his hand, giving it a gentle squeeze. “I would love that.” I walked over and hugged her. “Besides, we have a perfectly good guest room waiting for us. I love the hotel but honestly, I would rather sleep here.” She laughed. “Well, I am glad you two changed your minds. Go upstairs and freshen up. I will fix something for us to eat,” “Thank you, Nina.” “Do not mention it, sweetheart. Go on.” Andro took my hand, and we headed upstairs. Once we entered the guest r
MaeveI waited beside the car, glancing at the house now and then.A few minutes passed, but Andro still did not come out. I checked my phone before looking towards the house again.Maybe his mother had something for him to do.I leaned against the car and glanced at the house again. The lights were still on, but there was no sign of him coming out.I checked my phone, replied to a few messages, and looked towards the house again.Another few minutes passed.I was beginning to wonder if I should go inside when the front door finally opened.Andro stepped out, closing it quietly behind him. He stood there for a moment, looking at the house before turning towards me.I straightened.He walked towards me, and before I could ask anything, he pulled me into his arms.I wrapped my arms around his waist, resting my cheek against his chest.He held me close, pressing a kiss to the top of my head.“Are you okay?” I asked.He nodded, but I could tell something was bothering him.I pulled back s
MaeveTheo eventually finished checking on his children and straightened up.“Are you satisfied now?” I teased.He chuckled, wiping his face.“Not really. I could spend the entire day watching them sleep.”I smiled.“They are your children. You can watch them whenever you want.”“I know, but after today, I just want to be close to my family.”Andro patted his shoulder.“You should probably get some rest yourself. You look exhausted.”“I am exhausted.”“At least you are finally admitting it,” I commented.He gave me a tired smile.“I don’t think I have ever been this tired in my life.”“I can imagine. You have had a very long day.”He nodded and glanced towards the corridor.“I wish I could go back to Nadia’s room, but they said I would have to wait a little longer.”“She needs to rest, Theo. You will see her soon enough.”“I know. I just don’t like being away from her.”Andro chuckled.“I am sure she would appreciate having a few minutes without you hovering over her.”Theo gave him a
Maeve“Can we come see her now?”I looked at the sleeping kids and realized that even if he says yes, I couldn’t leave them.“No, they are moving her to the recovery room, and she’ll be there for around two hours. I am coming to meet you,” Andro told me.“Okay.”I was about to hang up when I remembered that I hadn’t asked him whether it was a boy or a girl.“A girl or a boy?” I asked, and Andro chuckled.“A boy.”“Oh, Luca is going to be pleased. He’s been going on and on about teaching the new baby how to play football.”“Has he?”I chuckled and nodded before remembering that he couldn’t see me.“Yes. Can I put it in the group? I haven’t even told anyone yet that we are at the hospital.”I didn’t want to get ahead of myself, which was why I hadn’t said anything.“Yes, you can definitely share the news with our family members. I am almost with you. Turn around.”I turned and smiled when I saw him waving at me. I stood up, and the toy I was holding fell from my hand.Andro picked it up
Maeve“I will go back to the kids,” I quietly whispered to Andro after Nadia was moved into the surgery room.He nodded before pulling me into a hug.“Hey, she’s going to be fine. She will be out before you know it, and we will have a new family member.”I whispered the words to him, and he exhaled.“I am scared.”He wasn’t the only one. I was scared too, but I knew everything would be fine.“Fear isn’t wrong, but don’t let it consume you.”I told him as I pulled out of the hug and smiled at him before turning to look at my brother, who was pacing around.“Look after him and call me once she’s out.”Andro nodded.“What is wrong with Mommy?”Luca asked as soon as I approached him.I bent down and hugged him.“Nothing is wrong, sweetheart. Mommy just needs the doctors to help her with something, and they are going to make sure she’s okay.”I assured him.“Is she sick?”“Not exactly. Remember how Mommy told you that you were going to have a baby brother or sister?”He nodded.“I want a
Alessandro “Trust me, you will learn everything you need to know when the time comes,” Nadia said, giving me a tired smile.“I hope so.”“You will. And don’t let Maeve do all the work. You have to be involved too.”I chuckled.“Are you giving me parenting advice when you haven’t even delivered this baby?”I teased her. “I am an experienced mother, thank you very much!”Theo laughed, and I shook my head.“Alright, experienced mother. I will keep that in mind.”“Good.”She closed her eyes briefly, and I watched her face. The smile she had been wearing slowly disappeared, replaced by an expression of discomfort.“What’s wrong?” Theo asked immediately.“Nothing. Just a little uncomfortable.”He adjusted her pillow and brushed his hand over her hair.“Do you need anything?”“No. Just stay here.”“I am not going anywhere.”I watched them for a moment before looking towards the door. The nurse hadn’t returned yet, and I was beginning to wonder how much longer we would have to wait.“Are
MaeveMy God. His beautiful lips were rolling. Moving. Kissing me in the slowest, most sensuous way possible.His hand slides upward. Ever so gently it cradled my face, barely touching me as I gasped softly into his mouth.Even the voice of reasoning calling me and giving me a million and one reas
Maeve“Hey, gorgeous.” I gasped at his voice. Damn, I didn’t think men still had such husky and bedroom voices.He called me gorgeous.My face heated up when he flashed a smile at me.Even the dim light couldn't hide the hint of a dimple on both his cheeks.Before I could react or say anything, he
MaeveOne month later…“What the fuck am I doing here?” I whispered to myself feeling very out of place.I shouldn’t be here. I should have cancelled this package right after I cancelled the whole event.This is meant for couples or at least friends like the girls sitting not far from me.They wer
Prologue MaeveThe first sign that something was wrong when I walked through the front door of the apartment I only recently bought with my fiancée and soon-to-be husband was when I heard a female groaning long and loud like she was in pain.I froze. It sounded too close. Really close. Like in my
