Loving my fathers best friend Chapter 194: The weight of love
BellaThe next day the house was quiet in that late-afternoon way that only happens when everyone else is gone. Alex was at work, Emily was in the living room with her coloring books, and Amie and James were both upstairs in their nurseries, asleep. I was in the kitchen washing the breakfast plates when I heard the knock at the front door.My heart jumped. I quickly rinsed my hands, dried them on a towel, and hurried to open it.Mom stood there, looking as warm and steady as always. Before she could even step inside or say hello, I pulled her into a tight hug, holding her as if I could squeeze all the feelings out of me.“I love you so much,” I whispered. “Thank you for coming.”Mom hugged me back just as tightly. “Of course, sweetheart. Let’s talk.”We moved to the living room, where Emily greeted her grandma with a big hug before going back to her coloring. Mom and I sat on the couch, and I poured her a cup of tea. For a while we just talked about how I was feeling, how the girls we
Loving my fathers best friend Chapter 193; Overwhelmed.
BellaTwo weeks had passed since James and I returned home from the hospital, and the reality of caring for three children had settled in like a heavy weight on my shoulders. Alex had gone back to work, leaving me to manage the house, Emily, Amie, and the new baby on my own during the day. I loved them all fiercely, but the exhaustion was relentless. Mornings started early with James’s cries for feeding, Amie demanding attention the moment she woke, and Emily needing help with her holiday assignments. By afternoon, I was already drained, moving through the house like a zombie, trying to keep everything together.This particular afternoon, the house felt especially overwhelming. Emily was upstairs trying to focus on her assignments, but I could hear her occasional sighs of frustration. Amie was napping in her crib, and James was in the nursery, finally asleep after a fussy feeding. I sat on the couch, staring at the pile of laundry I hadn’t managed to fold yet, feeling tears prick my
Loving my fathers best friend Chapter 192; Home
The day Bella and baby James returned home was a Saturday afternoon filled with golden sunlight and quiet anticipation. The Reed household buzzed with activity as family members gathered to welcome them. Mia had arrived early, helping Margaret arrange balloons and streamers that read “Congratulations Mama” and “Welcome Home Baby James.” Robert carried in a tray of fresh fruit and snacks, while Emily bounced around the living room, unable to contain her excitement. Amie, however, sat quietly in the corner, clutching her favorite blanket, her little face unusually somber.When Alex’s car pulled into the driveway, the family gathered at the door. Bella stepped out carefully, still sore from the C-section, holding James wrapped in a soft blue blanket. Alex supported her with a gentle hand on her back. The moment they entered the house, cheers erupted.“Welcome home!” Mia called, rushing forward for a careful hug.Bella gasped in amazement at the decorations balloons floating near the ceil
Loving my fathers best friend Chapter 191: The long wait and new begging
Bella The ninth month had felt like an eternity, but the real test came on a quiet Monday morning. I woke up with a sharp contraction that took my breath away. It wasn’t the first one I had felt, but this one was different, stronger, more insistent. A deep, cramping pressure radiated from my lower back through my abdomen, making my muscles tighten involuntarily. I lay there for a moment, hand on my belly, breathing through the wave as Clara had taught me slow inhales through the nose, long exhales through the mouth.Clara, my supportive nurse, had become a constant presence. She was already in the room when the monitor showed the contraction. “It’s starting, Bella,” she said calmly, adjusting the straps around my belly. The cool gel from the monitor was still slightly sticky on my skin. “We’re going to take this one step at a time. Breathe with me.”I nodded, gripping the bed rails as another wave hit. The pain was intense, a burning squeeze that made my vision blur for a second. Swe
Loving my fathers best friend Chapter 190; The final watch
The eighth month mark arrived with a quiet solemnity that settled over the Reed family like a heavy blanket. Bella’s doctor had been firm: it was time for her to move into the hospital for continuous monitoring until the baby’s arrival. The high-risk nature of the pregnancy, stemming from the trauma of the accident nearly a year earlier, left no room for chances. Bella was admitted to a private room on the maternity ward, a comfortable space with a large window overlooking the garden, a recliner for visitors, and all the medical equipment needed to keep her and the baby safe.A kind, middle-aged nurse named Nurse Clara became a steady presence in Bella’s days. With her warm smile, gentle demeanor, and years of experience on the ward, Clara quickly became more than just medical staff she was a source of comfort and encouragement. She checked on Bella multiple times a day, adjusting monitors with practiced ease and chatting to keep her spirits up.“You’re doing wonderfully, Bella,” Clar

BELLAThe weeks continued in their peaceful, careful rhythm. I was now deep into my seventh month, the 8th month mark approaching faster than I wanted to admit. Staying home full-time had become my new normal, and while I missed the office some days, the extra time with Emily and Amie felt like a gift I didn’t want to take for granted. Emily’s school holiday made the house lively and full of laughter. She followed me around like a little helper, asking endless questions about the baby, helping (in her own way) with chores, and playing with Amie on the living room floor.Amie, however, had become unusually clingy lately. She wanted to be held constantly, refusing to play on her mat for long and always crawling back to me, wanting to lay on my lap or against my belly. I didn’t mind at all. I would sit on the couch with her curled up on me, her little head resting on my rounded stomach as I stroked her hair. It was as if she could sense the new life inside me and wanted to be close.One

ALEXOne minute I was at the office, the next I was in the hospital. I was sitting at my desk rethinking Bella’s sudden exit as I rode down the elevator, coming to a stop at the ground floor. I noticed a group of employees gathered over someone on the floor.At a closer look, I realised it was Bel

ALEX The house was too quiet.Emily was already asleep , and the silence pressed in on me like a weight I couldn’t shake. I sat on the couch in the dark living room, the only light coming from the small lamp on the side table and the half-empty bottle of whiskey beside me. The glass in my hand was
