Grace’s POV

I already knew tonight would be the first of many I’d come to dread.

The air around the dining table was thick, mostly with my own tension. My stomach was in knots, my appetite nonexistent, but I still sat there, pushing food around my plate like I wasn’t coming apart inside.

I wasn’t even sure what I had planned to say to Hunter in the study before dinner when I called his name. It wasn’t like I could tell him what I saw. Helena would deny everything, and I had no proof. I should h

  • Her Sister’s Surrogate   Chapter One Hundred-Twenty-Two

    Hunter never left my side, his hand a constant anchor as contractions crashed through me with increasing force. My dad, Quinn and Maya had all been called, each all had insisted on being at the hospital even if they were not in the delivery room.Hunter's parents had already been on a flight back from London, their flight wasn't due for a few hours. They had wanted to enjoy a holiday abroad before the babies were born. Hunter could only leave a voice message for them, Hunter let me know all this in between contractions.Dr. Bates arrived, her calm presence immediately reassuring."Well, these three have decided they're ready to meet the world," she said after examining me. "You're progressing faster than even I expected. Seven centimeters already.""Is that bad?" Hunter asked, his concern evident."Not bad, just quick. But we're monitoring everyone, and so far, all three babies look strong." She patted my hand. "You're doing beautifully, Grace."The next hour blurred into a haze of pa

  • Her Sister’s Surrogate   Chapter One Hundred-Twenty-One

    Grace's POVI woke with a sharp pain slicing across my back.For a moment, I lay frozen, waiting to see if it would happen again. Maybe it was just the way I'd slept. At 36 weeks with triplets, comfort was a distant memory for me now. The doctors had been amazed I'd made it this far without full bed rest. I'd had to give up working at 25 weeks.When nothing happened for several minutes, I carefully shifted, trying to find a more comfortable position without waking Hunter. His arm was draped protectively over me, his face peaceful in sleep. These quiet moments in the early morning had become precious to me. I often couldn't sleep now.Then after a few moments, it hit again, a tightening that started in my back and wrapped around to my abdomen. I sucked in a breath, my hand instinctively moving to my enormous belly."Okay, babies," I whispered. "Let's not rush things."I glanced at the clock: 4:37 AM. Too early to call Dr. Bates unless I was sure this really was labor. I needed to time

  • Her Sister’s Surrogate   Chapter One-Hundred-Twenty

    Grace's POVI blinked, trying to process this. "Guilty? But I thought she was going to fight it."Quinn nodded. "So did I. Her lawyer says she wants to avoid a trial. The DA's offering a deal, four years, possibility of parole after two.""What about the clinic doctors?" I asked."They're all cutting deals too. Your mother's testimony is sealing their fate." Quinn touched my arm gently. "You won't have to testify now."Relief washed through me, so intense I felt light-headed. No trial. No having to relive everything in a courtroom full of strangers. No media circus dissecting every detail of our lives."That's... good," I managed."Are you okay?" Quinn asked, studying my face.I nodded, surprised to find it was true. "I am. It's over, isn't it? Really over.""It is." She squeezed my hand. "You can look forward now. Those three babies and that husband who can't take his eyes off you. I'm so happy for you, Grace, if anyone in this life deserves happiness it's you."I looked across the r

  • Her Sister’s Surrogate   Chapter One Hundred-Nineteen

    Grace’s POVI straightened the tablecloth again and reached up to adjust the flowers sitting in the middle of the dining room table. Our family and friends would be arriving soon, and we would be sharing our news about the babies. I knew everyone would be happy for us. It felt right and good that every egg stolen from me would be given life.I felt Hunter's arms slide around my waist from behind as his kiss landed on my shoulder. "Grace, leave the poor flowers alone." I could hear the laughter in his voice. "It's just family and friends; we are not hosting the queen. If you turn your back on the flowers, they are not going to rearrange themselves. I promise.""I know. I'm just nervous," I admitted, leaning back against him. "I'm hoping everyone will be happy for us."Hunter rested his chin on the top of my head, his hands splayed protectively over my small baby bump. "They will be happy. We are just going to shock them all with our news."I smiled, covering his hands with mine. "Three

  • Her Sister’s Surrogate   Chapter One Hundred-Eighteen

    Grace's POVI woke before Hunter, the early morning light shining softly through our bedroom curtains. I'd been doing that a lot lately, waking before my alarm, my body already attuned to some internal schedule I hadn't consciously set. Today was the big day. Our sixteen-week ultrasound.I slipped out of bed quietly, heading to the bathroom where I studied my profile in the mirror. The change was unmistakable now. My formerly flat stomach had developed a definite curve, more pronounced than it should be at sixteen weeks. I ran my hand over the swell, marveling at how quickly things had changed."Good morning, babies," I whispered, a habit I'd fallen into over the past few weeks.Arms slid around me from behind, startling me. I hadn't heard Hunter get up."Talking to them already?" he murmured, his voice still rough with sleep as he pressed a kiss to my neck.I leaned back against his chest. "Just saying good morning. We get to see them again today."Hunter's hands joined mine on my be

  • Her Sister’s Surrogate   Chapter One Hundred-Seventeen

    I followed the guard through a maze of security checkpoints, Hunter behind me, Quinn in front. The stark fluorescent lights cast everything in a harsh glow, making the already sterile environment feel even more lifeless. I’d never been inside a detention facility before, had never imagined I’d be visiting my own mother in one. I had thought I didn’t need this… but I did.“Through here,” the officer said, stopping at a door marked Attorney–Client Room 3. “We’re making an exception for privacy since her lawyer requested it. Normally it would be through glass with other visitors present.”Quinn nodded. “We appreciate that. Thank you.”“I’ll be right outside,” he assured us, unlocking the door. “Just knock when you’re finished.”My heart hammered against my ribs as we stepped inside. The room was small, containing only a metal table bolted to the floor and four chairs. No windows. Just a single camera mounted in the corner. The light on it wasn’t blinking, so they weren’t recording. Also a

    Hunter's POVShe made a soft sound around me, the vibration sending sparks up my spine. I showed her the rhythm with gentle pressure on her head… up and down, steady and controlled.But she learned fast. Too fast. Within minutes, she found her own pace, hollowing her cheeks on the upstroke, tongue

    I could hear something—a sound that didn’t belong. I tossed the covers off and slid out of bed, my bare feet sinking into the carpet. I reached the door, hand hovering over the handle, but stilled when I heard it again. A sound so quiet I almost thought I’d imagined it.Crying… low and muffled, com

    Hunter's POVShe settled back against the pillows, legs falling open for me, and something in my chest cracked wide. I positioned myself between her thighs, lowering my body over hers slowly, giving her time. When I kissed her this time, I took my time with it, deep, slow, like I was trying to memo
