58: Happy Birthday
"I wanted, desperately, not to disappoint her."
~Vanessa DiffenbaughI turn to see Rogue enjoying his small meal with delight and I walk back to him, "We need to go home now, it's almost time for your meds and Lare's will be on my ass if I don't return you."
He chuckles lightly, "Lare is a pain on everyone ass, but he's a great friend," he admits himself leaving me surprised that he would.
"Yes, he is," I walk towards his wheelchair and behind to roll it out. "He just being a good friend though."
He nods, "Wait, I've got it," he exclaims, wanting to control the wheelchair all by himself.
"Not today, captain, not today."
Just like I'd hoped, there is little to no traffic on the road and we make our way back to the house.
"Move in with me, Alex," Rogue speaks up as he drags himself into his wheelchair from the car.
"I don't believe that's what you want," I point out to him

"I could not get my fill of looking. There should be a song for women to sing at this moment or a prayer to recite. But perhaps there is none because there are no words strong enough to name that moment."~Anita Diamant"Someone might walk in and see us" Havana silently squeals as Zander licks the spot on her neck he just stopped love biting."I don't care," He murmurs into the crook of her neck, "you're my wife and we are not doing something wrong here."She moans out, biting her lower lips lightly in response to what he's doing. "I may be your wife, but there is a thing called public indecency and that's what you're doing."He pulls back to stare into her brown eyes, wondering if she's pulling his legs or being serious, but when he sees her, he realises that she's very serious he begins to speak, "Publi

"Family isn't always blood. It's the people in your life who want you in theirs; the ones who accept you for who you are. The ones that would do anything to see you smile and who love you no matter what."~AnonymousAlex's POVWhen a child comes into your life, everything changes and you have a responsibility to adapt to those changes and staring down at Rayge in my arms now makes the whole change I'm about to embark on already worth it.I was cleaned up by the nurses and then I was moved from the labour ward into the resting ward to wait till the morning while the baby was taken and dressed up and kept into the hospital incubator to help steady his body system, and according to Rogue, the doctor explained to him that it was a normal procedure and aid their newborn rest without any discomfort.When I finally woke,

“In family life, love is the oil that eases friction, the cement that binds closer together, and the music that brings harmony.”~Friedrich NietzscheA week later.The doctors after running some major tests on Rayge and me decided that we are both cleared to go home. We were finally going home and I can't be happier, knowing I had no loss, I'm alive and this baby in my arms is fine as well and as this new chapter opens I know it's going to be a good one."Welcome home my darling," Rogue says as Lauren opens the door for me to step into the house with Rayge in my arms.I smile a little feeling very happy. "Thank you," I reply in excitement.I discussed my decision to move in with Rogue to Lauren and I asked if she would be willing to come along with me to take care of all of us.She seemed worried fo

"Having somewhere to go is home. Having someone to love is family. And having both is a blessing."~AnonymousAs I step out of the room, I meet Lauren standing not so far from my door, holding Rayge who seems to be sleeping like always in her arms. He's wearing sky blue pyjamas and a matching blue beanie covering his head. He is carefully wrapped in a white cotton towel to prevent too much air from getting in. She walks to me and hands him over to me and although he purrs in response to the exchange of hands, he continues sleeping.Holding him securely in my arms, I make my way down the stairs, alongside Lauren and Ava."I was going to ask what took you too long, but you're here and all beautiful," Rogue says as we walk down the stairs to meet with him and the present guest. He is in a black tuxedo and a red bow tie and his hair is in a neat pony

"It is easy to dodge our responsibilities, but we cannot dodge the consequences of dodging our responsibilities."~Josiah StampHis hand travels up to his side of his face and softly stroke it, "You should talk that to Ava after you apologize to her for the way you've been behaving in the last couple of weeks, you wreck that lady into thinking that she was the problem!"His lips quiver and there is guilt in his eyes, "I didn't mean to.""But you did and you're going to say sorry and also you're going to quit drinking and see a therapist.""I'm not crazy!" He protests almost immediate to my words his eyes changing as soon as I called the therapist.I roll my eyes at his naïve definition for what therapy is, "Therapy is not only for the crazy Z, it's for a lot of things, we have marriage therapy, anger,

I say it to remind you that you're the best thing that ever happened to me."~AnonymousEleven weeks later"Why are you still holding out to him then?" Jude the head pastor of the church I now attend asks as we walk out of the Church.He's an old man in his mid-sixties, dark skin tone, standing around 5 ft 11 and a bit hefty for his age. It's been almost seven months since I started attending church with them and after Rogue felt a bit better he started following us and now that we have Rayge, we all come to church together for Sunday services, and knowing I would not get the chance I need this coming Sunday, I am here on a Friday tabling my request and seeking counselling.I fully resumed work last week, although closing early at 2 p.m. so that I can go ho

Rogue asks as we enter Rayge's room with him holding onto Rayge in his arms.I take Rayge who is now sleeping after having his milk and places she places him in his cradle. Once nicely tucked in, I turn to Rogue who asked a question I'm yet to answer, "Do you want a honeymoon?" I ask with my brows rising."Yes a part of me wants a honeymoon, but we are not the conventional newlyweds; we have a very young son, I am battling and trying to regain my memory and my lower body isn't still the way it used to be." He assents to the truth although it is a bitter truth for both of us.I bend down beside him so we
