"So, we have a plan?"
"We have a plan,” Alex and I nodded at Matt's words.
“Who will speak?”
“You.” We repeat at the same time.
“What are you guys here for?”
"Just support.” We spoke again at the same time.
“Why did we bring Mark?” Matt asked turning to his brother.
"Alex needed a babysitter,” he sighed, nodding towards the boy who was watching us all from his chair.
“Why didn't you leave him at the kindergarten?” I inquired without being able to stop seeing the boy's hair.
We all took our children to the same daycare, which was in the building where they all worked and which Mark owned.
"He didn't want to let me go,” Alex muttered, smiling at his son, "Abbie is studying and I like spending time with Luke when she's not around."
"This could be dangerous,” I pointed out.
"And that's why Mark will lock himself up with Luke in the car and leave with him if necessary,” he explained casually,
New York, 10 years after the previous epilogue. “And that's when I decided to trust him and tell him about the things those people had made me live, and boy, was it not the best decision I made in life, little one, because he sought the help I needed, and when I faced Daley? Incredible, there I felt like the strongest superhero in the world. "Do you realize she's asleep, right?" I looked away from my daughter, who was born a few hours ago, and fixed it on my wife, my lover, and my best friend. And who just now was looking at me amused from the hospital bed. No matter how tired she looked, Amanda would always stop my breath when she laid those green eyes on me. Even when I met her at thirteen and she posed her sad and regretful look because of the amount of harassment she received for being red-haired and shy. Harassment that I had ended up by defending her, and that fact, had helped develop our friendship. Frie
New York, three years later. My son's blue eyes were watching me intently. As if it weren't three in the morning and I wasn't dying of sleep. “Why don’t you sleep?” I mumbled regretfully, noticing that his eyes shone with joy at my misery. "No, Jake, it's not time to play, it's time to sleep." "Maybe if you didn't let him nap so late, this would stop happening." The air caught in my lungs when I saw my splendid wife leaning against the doorframe. My goddess. "I’ll start doing it tomorrow, babe. I promise you.” But she just laughed in amusement before coming into our youngest son's room and taking him in her arms. “You've been promising the same for months, sweetheart. By now it would be a miracle if you did.” I marveled once more at how incredible my wife looked with a baby in her arms. Maybe that's why we kept having more and more. Oh, right you don't know what I'm talki
Who would have thought a thirteen-year-old girl scared with life would end up making her dreams come true. Definitely not me, and now I wanted to cry when I saw one of my biggest dreams come true. I didn't know how to handle the emotions that gripped my entire being. I heard everyone around me toasting and celebrating the restaurant's opening, but I couldn't take my eyes off the name before me. Lucie was written in italics, neat and clean on the front of the building. My writing. Scripture I wouldn’t know I had if the owner of that name hadn’t welcomed me twenty-four years ago. If she hadn't taught me to write and add or subtract, if she hadn't taught me to fight for what I wanted in life. One night while in Hawaii, I commented to Louis about my desire to honor her at the restaurant, and that my initial idea had been the counter in the bar, which ended up in shreds thanks to the idiotic workers; so he was the o
“You see? My son is smarter than your daughter.” “I just saw your son putting his finger in his mouth after holding it up his nose, Alex. You really think that?” Alex sighed heavily. "Nothing’s perfect, Louis." And I should know. I settled into my chair and continued to watch the children playing with Sansa and Erick. This had been my life for the last two days because now I was a guest at the Hardy house since, although I had left the apartment, I hadn’t been able to leave the building. My plan had been to return to the boat, but it was impossible for me to go to that place when everything reminded me of my wife and the times we had there the two of us or with the rest of the family and friends. And alone? Much less. Before, I had Sansa to distract me, but now the dog was no longer mine, but Milena's. How could I take her teddy bear away from my daughter? I just didn't. Therefore, I had
My God, I was going crazy. Louis was driving me crazy! Shouldn’t I supposed to be writing his name with hearts? Or daydreaming about how we'll look together twenty years from now? Well, no. Actually, I had started a list on how to kill my husband without raising suspicions and end up in jail. It had been three days since we declared our eternal love and that he didn’t leave me due to the fact that I walked through life without a uterus, and since then, he’d dedicated himself to showing me every video on IVF that he found, or the most prominent specialists money could buy, or every surrogacy program that appeared on G****e.” And I wanted to kill him. Don't take me the wrong way, I was pleased and flattered that the man wanted to have a child with me, but honestly? I felt like he was going too fast. Just a few days ago we said our first I love you, a fact that I had loved and hated at the same time because my surprise had
My wife loved me. Damn, I felt invincible in life thanks to that woman. I was Usain Bolt, Michael Phelps, Michael Jordan, and Babe Ruth in one body. Actually, Eva hadn’t declared her love to me, but she saying she didn’t want to separate from me? That was enough declaration of love for me. What's even better… I couldn't help but smile like an idiot. My wife was preparing a surprise for me, and I couldn't wait to see what it was all about. I dropped the keys on the kitchen counter, and headed into the living room to take advantage of the incredible silence in the apartment today. Aiden had asked permission to go visit his red-haired friend to tell her about our trip to Hawaii and Eva had taken Mile with her to the bar since I had to go at some important meetings in the morning. And Sansa? Sansa was being walked by Alice at this precise moment; I noticed the dog had gained weight in the time we weren’t her
