Fate of Two Step Siblingsย ย ย Chapter 77
Victoria's POVAs I stood behind the counter of my bakery, The Cookie Jar, I couldn't help but feel a sense of pride and accomplishment wash over me. Today I was working at the register. I normally preferred to be at the back but once in a while, I wanted to be right up front where the action was. I wanted to interact with the people who supported my business. Some Christmas music was playing softly in the background setting the mood. There was a murmur in the air as people talked in low tones. I looked around at the customers, chatting with each other over coffee and pastries. There was a sense of community in the air, and I was so glad I was the one who curated it.My thoughts were interrupted by the sound of the door chime. I looked up to see a mother and her young daughter walk in, the little girl bouncing with excitement. I couldn't help but smile at their adorable matching outfits. They both had blonde hair and blue eyes and they were both dressed in pink identical coats and ha

Caleb's POVI was lounging on the couch in my living room, enjoying the peace and quiet of my home after a long day at the hospital. I had back-to-back surgeries all day and a particularly challenging case that I couldnโt crack and it was driving me crazy. I had gotten home, ordered takeout, and decided to spend my evening doing absolutely nothing.I had just settled in and put on a movie when there was a knock at the door. I sighed, reluctantly getting up to answer it. I wasn't expecting anyone, and I wasn't in the mood for visitors.They didnโt stop knocking which annoyed me even further.โIโm coming god dammit!โ I shouted. โThis better be good,โ I grumbled as I opened the door.When I opened the door, I was surprised to see Brianna standing on my doorstep. We hadn't spoken since we broke up, and I had assumed she had moved on. But here she was, looking as beautiful as ever, and it threw me off guard. It took me a while to find my voice again."Hey," I said, trying to keep my voice

Victoria's POVCaleb had been awfully quiet ever since Brianna showed up. It had been three whole weeks of nothing but radio silence from him. I had left him tons of messages and calls but he never returned even a single one of them.He also hadnโt been home since then. I wanted to believe that he wouldnโt go back to Brianna again but I had a bad feeling about this whole situation. I had even asked Eric if he knew anything about the situation which it turns out was a mistake. The conversation only caused drama. When I told him that Brianna might be back in the picture, his reaction was over the top.โWHAT!!! Please tell me youโre joking,โ he basically yelled in my ear.โWhy would I joke about something like that?โ I asked. โHe finally gets away from that bitch then now heโs just letting her sink her claws into him again? What the hell?โ I was shaken.I had no idea that Eric disliked Brianna this much. If I knew we would have formed an alliance. The โwe hate Brianna club.โ I had a fee

Caleb's POVI never thought I'd see the day when I'd be back with Brianna. After everything that had happened between us, I was positive that this time we would not get back together. I never thought I could forgive her but somehow, she managed to worm her way back into my heart. I guess the third timeโs the charm.I had gotten the hesitant support of my family and Tori. Immediately after I left Toriโs bakery I went to seek out Eric and my dad. I wanted to let them all know that Brianna and I were going to give it another go. I could not figure out why I was so hesitant to tell them.Bree and I had already been dating for three weeks again. I went to Eric first who was at home with Annabelle and Gloria. He took the news exactly how I thought he would; horribly.Lucky for me, Gloria was there to remind him that I was an adult, and as my brother he had a duty to support me and be there for me. After Eric grumpily gave me his blessing, I went to find Dad who was in his office.Ever since

Victoria's POVAs I sat there staring at Caleb, I couldn't believe what he was saying. For years, I had dreamed of hearing those three little words from him, and now they were finally coming out of his mouth. "I love you, Tori," he said.My heart leaped in my chest at the sound of his words, and for a moment, I felt like I was floating on a cloud. He loved me. Caleb Stallone actually loved me back. All these years that I had spent pining over him thinking that there was no way that he loved someone like me, I was wrong all along. He felt the same way that I did! I was elated. At that moment, I felt invincible.But then, as he continued to speak, my happiness quickly turned to anger. "I even broke up with Brianna for you," he said as if that was some kind of accomplishment. He just had to go ahead and ruin this wonderful moment for me. He made it sound like he was doing me a favor.I felt like I was being made to sound like the consolation prize like I was some kind of second choice th

When I walked into the living room, I got flashbacks of our conversation. The wounds hurt all over again. Thatโs when I knew that I had to make a change. I couldn't keep living in the same house where I had spent countless nights thinking about him.I had been secretly browsing real estate listings for weeks, not telling anyone about my plans to move because I wasn't even sure if it was what I wanted. But after my last interaction with Caleb, I knew that it was time to make a change.I called my real estate agent and told him to expedite the viewing. I wanted to be out of the guest house for a week, and I didn't care about the cost or the logistics. I just wanted to leave, to start anew. Over the next few days, I visited several different houses.

One Year LaterVictoria's POVโAnnabelle, no. donโt put that flower in your mouth,โ I heard Gloriaโs voice shout followed by the sound of little feet running.The next thing I knew, two little figures came running into the room I was in. Annabelle who was in a beautiful blush pink poofy tulle dress had a rose stalk in her hand and my son, Liam followed right behind her with a huge smile on his face. When I saw him in his little tux, my heart melted. I couldn't believe that it had only been a year since I gave birth to him. He had gotten Calebโs brown hair and my blue eye; the best of both worlds. Even at one year old, he had so much personality.He was the happiest baby that I knew. I didnโt know that I could love someone so little so much. Being a mom meant that you literally walked around every day with your heart outside your body. I wanted to just scoop him up and smother him with kisses.โNo no no. Resist the cuteness. We have work to do,โ Kathy, my makeup artist said, snapping

Victoria's POVEveryone had been acting rather strange for the past two weeks. I didnโt know exactly what was going on but I could tell that something was up. When I asked Caleb if he saw it too, he told me that it was probably in my head. My mom invited all of us to their place for dinner because she thought that it had been a while since we were all together. I didnโt mind because that meant that I got to see Caleb. He had been so busy with work for the past two weeks, that I hadnโt gotten the chance to see him.I had started getting used to the idea of being pregnant. The only people who knew were me, Caleb, Alice, and Sam. I called Sam immediately after Caleb left and she was so happy for me. She told me that she hoped that it would be a girl because her head was already bursting with ideas of all the clothes she could make for her.I was honestly excited. Sure, I was very nervous about bringing new life to the world but he or she would be a product of the love between Caleb and

Caleb's POVI rushed over to Toriโs apartment as soon as she called me. I could hear the panic in her voice and I knew something was wrong. I was already in Sedona to visit Eric, so it wasnโt too far of a drive.When I arrived, Tori was standing at the door, tears in her eyes. โCaleb, I donโt know how to say this, but Iโm pregnant.โI felt a rush of emotions wash over me. I was elated, overjoyed, and terrified all at the same time. I couldnโt believe that I was finally going to have a family with the woman that I loved. This was everything that I had ever wanted, and I knew that I had to do whatever it took to make this work.I pulled her into a tight hug and hugged her really tight. She had no idea what it meant to me. Ever since Annabelle was born, I had the overwhelming desire to settle down and have a family of my own. I wanted someone to come home to every day.Someone to love and hold and grow old with. I wanted a mini version of me running around the house and making a mess. I

Victoria's POVBliss.Pure unadulterated bliss. That's what I felt every second of the day. dating Caleb was the easiest decision that I had ever made. He made me feel like the most special girl in the world and made sure that I knew I was loved.He constantly sent me sweet texts. We would talk on the phone for hours and would drive to and from Arizona to Sedona every two days just because we couldnโt bear to be apart for too long. He had sent so many flowers to my house that I was running out of counter space to keep all of it. I had only dated Caleb for a month but I immediately knew that this was what dating should feel like. I was happy and felt secure knowing that my heart was in his hands. Everyone else before him faded in comparison like a distant foggy memory. Everyone was thrilled for us. We decided to keep our relationship under wraps at first. We wanted to remain in our little love bubble but that plan quickly went to the dogs two weeks after we started dating. Gloria had

Caleb's POVI placed my phone beside me on the couch and tried to ignore it. my eyes however kept drifting back to it hoping that it would light up with a response from Tori. When I heard a chime, I basically dove for it. Just like I had hoped, it was a message from Tori.Hi Caleb!Donโt worry about me. Iโm going to be okay. I think we should meet and talk about everything. Let me know when youโre available.ToriI pumped my fist up in the air. This was huge. I had absolutely no hope that she would text back let alone be open to meeting with me. If she wanted, I would get into my car and drive to Sedona right away as tired as I was, I felt a surge of energy go through my body. I had to take deep breaths to calm myself down before I responded. I didnโt want to push my luck.How about tomorrow? I could come down to Sedona.I texted back then dropped my phone like it was hot metal. I worried that maybe I sounded too eager. I was so nervous, I didn't think I was capable of playing it coo
