Chapter Ninety-One: Everything I OwnHawkins' POVImagine the horror I felt when I woke up from a nap and my wife was no longer beside me. It didn't help that I had just a bad dream about losing her. In my dream, she was slowly drifting apart, letting go of my hand and vanishing with the wind. The hardest part was me slowly forgetting about her when she left, and I didn't want that to happen. The thought of forgetting about the Miracle hurt so badly that I wanted to die. "Miracle? Love?" I called out, hoping she's just around, but when I saw her things gone, I knew she did what she said she would and left us. Panic sat in and I handed my son to Leila, kissing his head and rubbing his cheek. "Daddy will come back with Mommy, hmm? Leila, try to divert his attention away from us. We'll be back as soon as we can." I asked my trusted helper and she nodded while rocking Blythe back and forth. I ran to the car where Jim was already waiting. "To her mother's house, Jim. Drive fast please."
Chapter Ninety: When I'm GoneMiracle's POVDespite Hawk pleading me to reconsider my decision, I stood my ground and remained unfazed. Although it will kill me to be away from them, I also know that it is the best thing to do before I hurt either of them. The last thing I wanted to do was to inflict any harm on my husband and son. That night, I packed my bag and I cried in between doing it. I locked the door so Hawk couldn't stop me and I could hear him pounding on the door and asking me to stop. What happened kept repeating in my mind and I also repeatedly blamed myself. I ended up hurting the one person I never wanted to hurt. When my bags were packed, I slept on my own, curled up and cried until I eventually fell asleep. When I woke up, Hawk was beside me and he was holding our son as he slept. Of course he will use the duplicate key to check on me. My eyes filled with tears while looking at them, knowing I couldn't stay with them anymore. I want to reach out and take Blythe in
Chapter Eighty-Nine: What About Me?Hawkins' POV"Hi, baby," I greeted my son who was happily drinking his milk while sitting in the middle of the room, his toys scattered around him. "Where is mommy, little one?" I asked while looking around. I had just returned from an urgent meeting about our latest invention. Miracle wants me to go back to work, not wanting to take so much of my time, but I insisted that I wanted to stay with them, not only because I was afraid something might happen, but because I really just want to spend time with her and our son. Screw work. I can earn and work from home. All I need is my brain and hands. Plus I have my trusted best friend and employees. "Mama!" Blythe screamed and I laughed while ruffling his hair. He went back to playing and I called Miracle. "Miracle, love? Where are you?" I called out and frowned when I smelled something burning. My eyes found a set of bath candles on top of the bedside table with one of them on the floor, and the carpe
Chapter Eighty-Eight: Why Not Me?Hawkins' POVI noticed it, but I decided to brush it off, convincing myself that it's probably nothing serious and maybe it was part of the labor and being a mother at her age. Maybe it was the part of me that was desperate to think and deny that it could be serious. After all, why would the merciful God do this to someone like Miracle? My miracle who has been through so much in life, and she's just now enjoying life. Why would he be so cruel to do this to someone finally showing genuine smiles and feeling genuine happiness? To someone who found the will to live again?I was wrong. Damn, I was so wrong and I don't know what to do. When Miracle and I left the hospital, we were both silent. We were both trying to grasp and process the information we heard. None of us want to talk about it, as if avoiding the topic will change anything. I am trying to be strong outside, but my heart and my soul are slowly breaking. Miracle is my world, so how could I p
Chapter Eighty-Seven: Woke Up From a Beautiful Dream Miracle's POV Something doesn't feel right with me. Our baby boy had just turned five months and the past few months had been nothing but precious to me and Hawk. I have never been happier, but I just feel like something feels off. Do you know that feeling when your body knows that something is wrong with it? That is exactly what I've been feeling the past few months. It started with me having terrible mood swings, and I thought it was normal considering I had just given birth. Then sometimes, I feel confused. Like I'm lost and I don't know what I was doing and why I was doing it in the first place. I feel disoriented, and I often find myself having trouble with decision making and planning, affecting my judgement. One time, my vision blurred and it left me panicking. What I started noticing and alerted me most is the way my muscle feels stiff, twitches and jerks sometimes. I could feel them deep in my skin and honestly, all of
Chapter Eighty-Six: Blythe PrideMiracle's POV"Hawk, Blythe is only turning one month. It's a long way before he becomes a student. Can't we just enjoy this time while he's still a baby?" I whined at my overprotective and overbearing husband. Hawk has been nothing but an amazing dad to Blythe, don't get me wrong. But he can be too much sometimes. He can become too fuzzy sometimes. He's overprotective and I believe that he will wrap our son in a bubble so nothing will happen to him. It's adorable and funny at the same time. Both Hawk and I are still learning and grasping whatever we know about being parents, and I'm really thankful that my Mom and Esme are there to help us out. "But isn't it safe for us to do so while he's still young? So we can secure his future. Time flies so fast that you'll be surprised how grown up he is, love. Soon he'll be crawling on the floor, walking, running and going to school. It won't hurt to be cautious." Hawk reasoned out and I only shook my head at
