"Yippee! The day's finally here!!" Olivia yelled downstairs, loud enough to wake a pride of lions. "Hush it Olivia, people are sleeping. It's only 4:30 in the morning." Ava whispered. "I know right? Which makes it more exciting." She beamed. "You'll wake the young couples up." Ava whispered again. Olivia finally kept quiet, but was still smiling sheepishly to herself. " I can't believe my best girl is getting married today, it's like a dream true. I really envy her." "Is that so? When do you plan on getting married yourself?" Ava asked. "When the time is right. I believe the right man would find me soon enough." She replied sadly. Ava smiled too. "Ava?" "Yes?" "Can I ask you something?" "Go on my dear, I'm all ears." "Did you ever get married? I'm sorry if it's kinda personal, but I had to ask." Olivia said softly. "Yes, I was married, and at a young age too. I had a baby as well, but I lost the both of them to the cold hands of death." Ava replied sadly. "I'm sorry, i
"I missed you my love." Alexa hugged Gabrielle from behind. Gabrielle left the house every early in the morning, and came back when it was almost dark. Alexa didn't know when he got up from bed, but she was aware of the time his car left the compound. She was famished too, after so many hours of finding the perfect wedding dress, they finally came to a conclusion.Gabrielle was just out of the shower, and was drying his hair when Alexa came in."I missed you more pumpkin, I couldn't stop thinking about you all day." He turned around to hug her."You didn't tell me before leaving the house this morning." Her frown made her look like a puppy.Gabrielle peered into her eyes, and burst into an uncontrollable laughter."It's not funny!" She yelled, almost clawing his back."I know..I know... I'm sorry." Gabrielle tried to suppress his laughter. "It's just that you look so cute when you're angry.""Really?" Alexa's frown deepened."I said I'm sorry, I was just laughing because you looked c
"Since it's a boy, what are you going to call him?" Olivia asked, stuffing her mouth with fries. "Don't bother her with that now. It's should be between the both of them only, and besides we have a wedding to plan." Ava hushed her. Alexa smiled. Her wedding was just two days away. Gabrielle had been running Helter skelter, planning his so called "perfect wedding". Alexa took some fries and coated it with ketchup. The taste was heavenly. Nowadays, she had a humongous appetite, but all thanks to her petite nature, she was not looking bloated. Her belly was also normal, it didn't look like some one that was pregnant. "Ohhhh the wedding!! I almost forgot. I thought you were going to test the wedding dress today?" Olivia chipped. "Yeah, the store would be open by eleven." Alexa said. "Alright then." Olivia smirked. Alexa stopped eating, almost lost in thoughts. Ever since she had that dream, her mind had been diverted. "Alexa? Are you alright?" Ava tapped her gentl
"Mummy? Where are you going? Take me with you." Alexa cried out, running after her mom in the grocery store. Alexa was ten, and her mom? She was wearing her usual red sweater, pushing the shopping basket. Everything looked real. Her mom, a brunette was stacking the basket full with lots of groceries. "Mom! Wait up!" Alexa yelled, running to her mom in her favorite barbie dress. Alexa's mom kept pushing the shopping basket, ignoring Alexa completely. It was as if she was in a hurry to leave. "Mom?" Alexa caught up with her, tugging at her dress. Her mom looked down at her, and gave her an infectious smile. That smile. The one that Alexa came home to after every stressful school day, and the one that she saw before closing her eyes in sleep every night. "I want that one." Alexa said quietly, pointing at a brown teddy bear. "You don't need all that now. I need to prepare you for my departure." Her mom mumbled. "Departure? Where are we going?" Alexa asked excitedly. "Not you A
"I am pregnant?" Alexa gasped, looking at the nurse. "Yes love. You are two weeks pregnant." She replied. Alexa didn't know what to think. Should she jump out of joy? How does one behave when they realize they're pregnant. "Congratulations madam. When the time is near, you can begin antenatal. Meanwhile, eat lots of fruits and vegetables. Have enough sleep too." Alexa nodded. "please mr Casanova, she should not be stressed at this point. Since the foetus has not formed yet. Having sex is not risky at this point, until the fifth month. But be careful, some positions are not advisable once the baby bump has advanced in size." The nurse advised. "Can you elaborate?" Gabrielle raised a brow. "What I mean is, some positions are not advisable for sex when she has become heavily pregnant. She can be the one on top. That position is better. Doggy is a no no." She added. "Thank you nurse." Alexa's blushed with embarrassment. "No need to thank me dear. It's the necessary advice we give
The hospital was in the frenzy as soon as they entered. Patients peeped from their wards as they wheeled Alexa down the hallway. Nurses hurried up and down, looking for a suitable ward. The famous Gabrielle Casanova had brought his woman to the hospital. "Wait here sir, she'll be alright." A nurse stopped Gabrielle at the door, as soon as they wheeled Alexa into a ward. "And why?" Antonio snarled. "Hospital policy. We'll let you know anything once we're done with the tests. In the meantime, please seat at the reception." She said ready to bolt the door. "If anything happens to her, you'll be sorry." Gabrielle said aloud for everyone to hear. The nurse nodded, and closed the door. "You should seat sir. You need to rest too." Antonio spoke, leading him to the reception. Gabrielle was infuriated. What was the reason why they couldn't let him in? Was he going to kill her? Fuck the hospital policy!! The receptionist gasped when she saw them, and threw her eyes away quickly. Gabrie
