Out of happiness. Yes, happiness and joy. He couldn't believe Grace is pregnant with his baby. He's going to be a father. He always loved children and wanted one of his own, and when he found Grace bearing his baby, he's the happiest person in the world.
He ran towards Grace, making her whimper in fear, she thought Aaron's going to harm her unborn baby but what he did shook her to the core.
Aaron hugged her tightly. He wrapped his strong protective arms around her waist tightly but carefully as to not squish her tummy. For the first time in their two years of marriage, Aaron hugged her. For the second time in her life, her mate hugged her. First, when they discovered each other as mates when Aaron hugged her. She doesn't know how to react. She has frozen in her spot.
"Love! Goodness, I am so happy. I am going to be a father. I can't believe it."
He called her love.. the nickname he never gave her. His voice is not the cold and emotionless that he used to talk to....his eyes are not disinterested or annoyed... it's filled with joy and warmth.
Grace can't believe what she's seeing. A huge smile on her mate's face. The smile she never saw in her two years of being with Aaron. She never saw the happy face and warmth that floods from her mate's scent when she's with him.
She's still frozen in her spot, looking at Aaron like she saw the ghost. Her eyes widen and tears still run down her face, her heart pumping so fast she's sure Aaron can hear her crazy heartbeats.
She thought she's dreaming. Yeah, she must be dreaming because then why Aaron, who never once looked at her for more than 3 seconds. How can he hold her so delicately and smile at her so beautiful? Why his eyes will show a happy emotion, it's impossible.
But her thoughts came to an abrupt stop when she felt something soft on her forehead. The almost unnoticed touch. Her breath hitched because...
Aaron just kissed her forehead.
He never did that before, never even once. She's not dreaming. Aaron is holding her in his protective arms. Her mate is happy. He kissed her forehead. Her mate called her with a nickname.
She came out of her trance and looked at Aaron who's smiling at her so beautifully, almost lovingly. She smiled for the first time in the past two years, and she smiles today so genuinely. Her heart is beating crazy, but this time out of happiness.
Her mate accepted their baby. Her mate is happy. She can't put into words how relieved she's feeling right now. She sobs in relief and utter happiness.
"You're h-happy?" Grace asked.
"Of course I am, why wouldn't I be". he answered excitedly
He caressed her tummy, lovingly smiling at her. He caressed Grace's cheeks to make the tears wiped away from the tip of his thumb and hugged her again. Grace hugged him back tightly, still crying that her mate accepted them.
She never knows that their baby will be the reason that Aaron will accept her as his mate and will surely love her in future. Her baby is not even born yet, and it already gave her her most immense happiness by making her mate's cold heart melt for her.
She was afraid of nothing.
She again got hope. This time she's sure her hope will become a reality. She's sure their baby will make them into a loving family. And they will live happily ever after.
She started dreaming of having a beautiful family with her mate and their baby from that day. She started smiling more. She is again feeling happy and healthy.
Now Aaron always makes skinship with her. He always gives her kisses and smiles at her more. He cuddles her to sleep at night, making her feel so protected and loved. He also makes love with her. He holds her delicately and makes sure about her health and stuff.
She thought she got everything she wants. She doesn't want anything now as she gets Aaron attention and love, which was everything for her.
But not every time what we think or see is real...
She was living in a delusional that she thinks we're real. Because the reality of her life was something else that she didn't know will break her fully this time. She was not leaving a single small piece to bind her again.
Making her a living stone.
Never celebrate beforehand." God has something else planned for Grace; she has more challenges in her basket."Grace had never imagined that there would be a time where she will regret mating with Aaron.She never did before, even after what Aaron did to her. She never thought like that. She always had this hope in her that one day she will get her mate's love and attention and opened the door's of her heart for Aaron to come every time and anytime.She was ready to forgive him. Giving themselves a chance after knowing she's pregnant and her Aaron accepts her. These thoughts never came in her mind because Aaron's action never let her. She forgave him again at that time.But now she doesn't know what to do. She's happy, she's so pleased that she's pregnant, but her heart became so fragile and vulnerable that she's started to envy her baby. Her blood, her flesh.She hates herself. How cruel is she's to be jealous of her baby? How can she think about that? She's the worst parent for her
It's been four years now. Four years ago, Grace gave birth to a baby boy named Asher. A strong but beautiful boy. He's brilliant and clever.Many things have changed now and are for sure, not good. Grace has changed even Aaron did too.Grace is not a bubbly person anymore. She lost her personality now. She lost her smile; she lost her heart, her emotions, her feelings.She's not Grace who was trying to make her relationship with Aaron. She's not Grace who was seeking for her mates warmth and comfort. She's not that Grace, who was waiting for her mate. She's not that Grace, who was comforting herself telling herself a lie. She's not the Grace who once hoped for little things her mate did. She's not the Grace who hoped now. She's not the Grace who has been hurt not physically but emotionally and verbally. She's not the Grace who cried in longing and despair for her mate.She's not Grace without her soul which hid in the depth of her pain long ago. Weak and miserable can't see the disgust
Aaron, Well, where should we start from what he feels. Hmmm, how about let's go to the past and highlight from the day his baby was born four years ago.The most beautiful day of his life when he held his baby for the first time. His strong and handsome champ, Asher. That was the happiest day of his life.Two months after his baby was born, he started to feel or like realize things, concerning Grace.He noticed how things have changed. Grace doesn't talk like literally he never heard her saying anything. But he dismissed the thought thinking that maybe she's not feeling well or something and focused on his 2 months old baby.Time has passed by and little by little, he feels like there's something wrong. He can't think of anything, but every time he comes home, there is this feeling like-like, he doesn't know how to word it. It's so gloomy or sad?He doesn't know.But after ten months when his baby turned 1 year old, he felt something. He noticed that he couldn't smell Grace's scent. He
Day by day he's feeling something he shouldn't feel. He shouldn't be bothered if Grace won't talk anymore, or if Grace doesn't show any emotions anymore, he shouldn't feel bothered by Grace lack of interest, he shouldn't be alarmed if he can't scent her,he shouldn't be concerned about the distance Grace made from everyone, he shouldn't be bothered that their baby is always neglecting Grace and prefer him over Grace,he shouldn't feel bothered about Grace feels. He shouldn't fucking bother!!!!He's frustrated because he is.He is fucking bother by everything.And the big question is...WHY?He feels like clowning himself. He doesn't understand what's happening to him. He feels disregarded, gloomy but why. Simple...Because of Grace.He feels guilty without knowing the reason. His heart is scratching. His chest is sober; he feels like a criminal without doing any crime. What did he do to feel like this?He knows but just not accepting it like a coward.He came home after the long hours
He stood up after eating and discarded the dishes into the sink. He goes upstairs going towards his son's room first to check on him. He opened the door lightly not to make much noise and gets inside. He walks to him, smiling down at him, seeing his baby sleeping peacefully with an adorable pout on his lips.He caressed his hair, leaning down to kiss his forehead lightly. "Sweet dreams, baby."He gets up and walks out of the room, closing the door behind him. He walked to his room and entered going towards his closet to get the clothes.He took a long cold shower to relax his mind and heart, and wear comfortable clothes. He walked towards the bed and lay down. He looked to his side at the lump of his mate wrapped in a blanket far away at the very end of the bed.he signs remembering the time when they used to cuddle together"Aaron!! it tickle don't do that" Grace giggle adorably removing Aaron hands from her belly."But I want to talk to our baby," Aaron said and got to his business:
Aaron"He heard the cold deep voice of Grace. He was turning around from where he was sitting on the sofa in the living room with his laptop on his lap."Yes" finally after what feels like centuries he heard Grace's voice. It's been so long Grace tried to talk with him. It feels so good to listen to his name from her mouth."Asher has constantly been whining to go to the park" she informed him.Aaron's eyes sparkled at that, and he instantly offered."Yeah, sure we will go together and eat lunch ou-" her voice cut him off."No, I'm not coming. Just go with him" she coldly spoke with her usual emotionless face and went away from there without waiting for Aaron's reply."But-" he sighs.It always happens like this. Grace refuses to go anywhere he suggests.She is doing the same which he did to her."Aaron, can I come in?" Aaron stopped typing on his laptop when he heard Grace voice behind the door of his office door situated at the end of the hallway of his house.He sighs already annoye
Now it was one of those lucky days for Aaron ,when he can be in Grace's presence.And it all thanks to his little baby.They were right now sitting on the living room couch, watching a Disney movie as per their son's wish, or ordering to watch a movie together as a family.The little indeed prefers his daddy more, but he also loves his mommy so much, but his mama always is so serious, never smiling at him. She never played with him. Never praise him. Never cuddle him. So the little mind of a child thought that she doesn't like him. So he always subtly tried to spend time with his mommy. Who doesn't talk unless it's much needed? But at least he's in his Mom's presence, that's all the baby wants.He never dares to disturb his mama, scared that his mama will get mad at him.So that's why he forced his daddy to see the family movie so he could be with his both parents.Right now, little Asher is sitting on his daddy's lap leaning onto his chest, which was sitting at the couch. And Grace i
Aaron's heart was erratically beating faster, his eyes darting here and there searching for the petite pale female that goes by the name with Grace.....his love.Who was missing?It's almost midnight, which means four hours, he's been searching for her non-stop. His stomach had a horrible feeling; his instinct is warning him, telling him something is not right. His mate bond was on high alert, fearing his mate safety.He's scared.Where's Grace? Where can she go at this hour? Why would she go? She never goes out of the house since age. What should he do? Where will he search for her?These are the questions flooding in his mind, almost blowing his mind out at the worry. Plus his instinct is giving him a strong signal to have his protective arms around Grace.He fisted his shirt on his chest where his heart is. He feels a sudden panic. Something is not good. She was in danger. He can feel it.He needs to get her in the safety of his protective arms before something happens to her. He w
