Picnic For Two
Vanessa
The call concerned me. Not because he would be late, but I was curious to see what the sheriff needed him for.
I put on a tank top, a pair of black leggings and some sneakers, asking myself if it was the appropriate outfit for horse riding as I paced back and forth, waiting for him to arrive.
“If you keep walking in the same spot, you will leave a hole in the floor!” Candice shouted from the kitchen.
Another strange thing about this is that she wouldn’t let me into my own kitchen, with the excuse that she was preparing something special for John. What could she be doing for her husband that I couldn’t even go in there?

This one was one of her favorite things to do, and she was looking forward to showing Gabriel around.They had both gotten acquainted and now considered themselves the best of friends.“Daddy? What’s wrong with the boy?” She had asked me the first time she met him. I explained to her his condition, and she understood he needed a lot of special care. Knowing how active she was, I had to remind her she needed to be careful when playing with or around him.

Handyman Needed Suspect
Clay “Daddy? What happened to Vanessa?” Emily asked as I prepared a tea for her to calm her nerves. “I’m not sure, baby girl. But for now, let’s just comfort her, okay?” I replied, getting a nod from her. Looking at her little face, I could tell she was sad and worried about Vanessa. She walked away, opening the pantry door to get some cookies. “This should cheer her up,” she mentioned, shaking the box with excitement before running out of the kitchen and up the stairs. Careful not to spill any of the hot, aromatic drink, I headed up to her room. Emily opened the door carefully, walking in with the cookies tightly against her chest. She walked around the bed, looking at Vanessa with sa
Handyman Needed Attacked
VanessaI fluttered my eyes open and looked around the room, rubbing them with the heels of my hand. Emily and Clay were still sleeping next to me, making me forget what happened yesterday. Their presence is comforting and peaceful.Letting out a small yawn, I got out of bed and headed to the bathroom to do my business while they kept sleeping. I closed the door behind me, used the toilet, and washed my hands before I looked at myself in the mirror.My eyes were swollen, there were bags underneath them, and my hair was messy.“You look horrible, Vanessa Harper,” I whispered, grabbing the toothpaste and toothbrush to take care of my teeth.
Handyman Needed They're In Danger
ClayIt was weird to receive a text message from the Landons saying their stove was broken when it was brand new. Either way, I had to respond to it and after saying goodbye to everyone at home; I got in the truck and drove off.On my way there, I called Mark to confirm that I was indeed heading his way. No answer, so I assumed he was in town taking care of Lucy’s issue.That thought made me hit my brakes hard, the tires smoking behind the truck as I opened my eyes wide. If the Landons are not in their house, who the hell texted me from Mark’s phone?“Vanessa,” I whispered, turning my truck back around and driving back home. This could only have one explanation. Vanessa’s
Handyman Needed You're Not Taking Her
VanessaThe news caught us by surprise. How could I be pregnant? At my age?“That’s impossible, doctor. I’m at a high-risk age. How could that be?” I asked, knowing it was an ignorant question.“Yes, you are at that age, and pregnancy is rare, but not impossible. You’re still fertile and healthy.” The doctor smiled as he checked something on the board. “You need to make an appointment with an obstetrician and they will check on you and give you instructions on how to take care of your pregnancy properly to avoid any complications.”I smiled at him, not knowing what else to do. It was shocking, for sure, but I couldn’t say I wasn’t at least excited about having a baby.After all that’s happened to me, God has given me yet another miracle

I couldn’t wait until we gave her the news about the baby and I hoped she’d be happy about it.As soon as we made it there, we both walked inside hand in hand until we reached her room. Candice was sitting with her, talking about Kelly, so I stayed behind the door. Hearing them about a family lawyer had my heart racing. Was Kelly here, by any chance?Not wanting to hear anymore, I opened the door and walked in, Emily running towards Vanessa and getting on the bed to hug her.“Careful, she’s still recovering, Little Mouse.” I warned her, but all we got fr
