Masuk"Of course you're more than enough, Mommy. But I just want to meet my Daddy. I want to know if he's cool, what he looks like, and I want to hug him," she mumbled and hugged me. I felt her breathing get heavier until she finally fell asleep on my chest.I looked at Ivana. She just sighed and shrugged. I just caressed my daughter's hair and kissed the top of her head. I couldn't blame her; there are probably times when she feels jealous of her classmates who have a dad. Every time I go to their school for programs, I see her looking at them... I'm sad that I couldn't give her the complete family she wants, but there's nothing I can do about it.I want to give my daughter everything she needs because it's my duty as her parent. Ivana also told me why I don't just find a boyfriend who can also be a dad to Vanna, but I don't need that. I can be a dad to Vanna. I also don't want to find a boyfriend just so Vanna can have a dad. I'm not that cruel."Vanna, you promised me that you'll be a go
"My goodness, Eve Havannah North! What have you done?" I tried my best not to raise my voice at her. I love my daughter more than anything, but I'm not going to spoil her.My daughter pouted her lips and raised her eyebrow. She even crossed her arms, which she always does whenever she's irritated. My goodness. Why is she like this?!"Mommy, I didn't do anything wrong," Havannah said and gave me her typical puppy-eyes look. She really does that because she knows I can't say no to it, but not this time."Vanna, you're only six years old! Why did your teacher tell me you have a boyfriend in your classroom?!"Her godmother, Ivana, burst out laughing at what I said. I just glared at her and crossed my arms... This woman too, she's one of the people who spoils Vanna the most. Add my siblings, who give Vanna almost everything she wants, no matter how much I try to stop them. I raised Vanna well, but I don't know why she's so... my goodness, I couldn't even describe her attitude! Why didn't s
Two days have passed, but for me, it feels like a year has gone by... Time runs slowly when you're grieving, when you're suffering, when you're having a hard time... It feels like time enjoys seeing me suffer like hell."Crescent, are you sure you're okay now?" Aiden asked, worried."I'll take care of her, Aiden. Staying here would only make things worse for her," Ivana answered for me.The two of them talked more, but I didn't understand any of it. I just held my stomach, still hoping that my baby would come back to me, even though it's impossible."C-Crescent."Ivana and I were stunned when Luca appeared in front of us as we were leaving the room. He clearly hadn't had any rest or sleep. He also stayed here for two days, but I don't care. I just pushed him away every time he tried to talk to me... He looks pitiful, but I feel nothing. He deserves it... It's not even enough for what happened to my child.I just pulled Ivana away from him. Ivana and I quickly left the hospital; we fel
My body feels heavy when I woke up. My stomach also hurts, so I immediately held it."Crescent..."I slowly opened my eyes when I heard Luca's voice. The light from the ceiling was what I saw. I swallowed because I felt my throat was dry. I closed my eyes again while remembering what happened... Where am I? Why am I here?The corners of my eyes got hot again, and I held my stomach tightly when I fully remembered what happened... I was bleeding... My child.My tears instantly escaped from my eyes. Luca's grip on my hand gently tightened when he saw me cry."C-Crescent."I immediately opened my eyes when the door to the room we were in opened. Even though I was weak, I panicked and got up when I saw Aiden come in... That's when I realized that I'm in a hospital right now.I removed Luca's hand from mine and immediately got off the bed. I immediately approached Aiden and held on to his coat. He held my arm and guided me back to the bed, but I stood my ground and remained staring at him.
"I told you not to get pregnant... but here you are now. You're really crazy," Ivana whispered after fixing my hair. I'm at her unit now. We chatted almost all day, and when night came, she styled me.I looked at her and held her hand. "I'm sorry, Ivana... I didn't expect this either. But I really want to take care of my baby... I love him or her already," I said and smiled at her. I touched my belly and caressed it.Ivana just rolled her eyes and sighed. "Knowing you, of course you'll do that... I'm just worried, Crescent. I still don't know the father. I haven't judged him yet, and you're so quick to trust... Should I just come with you? I won't be at ease," Ivana said worriedly and held my hand.I just smiled at her and shook my head. "Don't worry about me, Ivana. Luca is a trustworthy man. He just looks bad, but once you get to know him, he's not like that at all," I said, smiling.Ivana sighed while staring at me. "You seem foolishly in love with that man, Crescent... I just real
"It's positive, Crescent... You're four weeks pregnant," Aiden said seriously.It feels like my whole system stopped functioning for a moment. We went to Aiden's hospital to run a proper test to confirm if I'm really pregnant, and I really am. I'm pregnant... I don't know what to do... I don't even know what to feel.Should I be scared? Should I be excited? Should I be happy? I don't know what I'm feeling right now.I'm only sure of one thing... I want to protect him. I want to raise and take care of him... I want to be a parent to him."What's your plan now, Crescent? I mean, with your child... Are you going to tell his father?" Aiden asked.I bit my lower lip before answering. "Of course, Aiden... He has the right to know. I'll just gather my courage first," I said and gently stroked my stomach.I wonder what his reaction will be? I'll admit I'm scared... What if he doesn't want our child?"Who's the father? Is it the guy who pulled you away at the mall last time?" Aiden asked again
