Juliet Carrington:-I sat, prayed, and sobbed while waiting for Nick's surgery to finish. This whole time, only I knew what pain and agony I was going through, what my heart was feeling, as if I heard any bad news about losing my husband, I would die right here, and right now."Mrs. Carrington," I heard the masculine voice of the door speak."Doctor," I instantly stood up, with hope in my eyes., Zach and Chrysander were instantly by my side, for the same news and hope. "How is my husband?""The surgery was successful. "We managed to save Dr. Carrington," the doctor said, with a calm, yet assertive voice. The world suddenly ceased to spin. The breath came back in through my lungs in relief. I felt like my legs were nearly giving way, and Zach grabbed me by the shoulders before I fell.Thank God, I said, and put a shaking hand to my chest. "Can I see him? I have to see my husband, please.The doctor sighed softly. "You will be allowed soon, but not much longer than a few minutes. He is
Juliet Carrington:-After one month.I was heading to the shower after putting the twins to sleep for their nap. After a lot of convincing, Nicholas finally agreed to hire the nanny since he needed to go to the hospital. His patients needed his emergency assistance, so, as every other day, he left for the hospital to check on and perform surgery on them.Just as I was about to step inside the bathroom, I watched Chrysander and my brother enter the room after a light knock. Their expressions were full of worry as they looked at me, making my heart sink instantly, and fear took over me because I knew whatever they were about to tell, wasn't good."What....What happened? Why are you both looking at me like that?" I asked when Zach reached forward to hold me before announcing the bad news."Juliet, my baby sister. I need you to be strong and calm when I tell you this," he murmurs softly, preparing me before giving the news."Nicholas....where is Nicholas?" I asked, "Where is my husband?"
Juliet Diaz:-I looked at my husband, stressed and tried. He hasn't slept a wink in the last forty-eight hours, and that is beginning to concern me. He is going to pass out and get sick if he continues like this. He needs rest to function and find the bastard Jared, who is still hiding in the shadows and playing the game of hide and seek, but at a dangerous level."Nick, can you please come to the bed and lie down with me for at least two or three hours. You know I can't sleep without your arms wrapped around me. The twins are finally asleep, and I want to rest." I made that up about my rest because I know if I say he needs to rest, he won't, but when I put it on myself, he would leave everything and be by my side instantly.Just as I had expected, it did. When I told Nicholas that I could not sleep without him, his eyes seemed to be softer, and the furrow on his brow seemed to relax slightly. He didn't even argue this time. He kicked off his shoes with a deep breathing, threw his jac
Nicholas Carrington:-I was standing up against the door frame of our bedroom, just watching, with my arms crossed. The afternoon sun had penetrated the curtains and was falling warmly on the room in a golden light. Juliet was sitting against a heap of pillows with her hair hanging about her face, weary yet beautiful, as she suckled our baby. Rhea was seated across her, and was rocking our son, with the practised ease of a lullaby-humming to the infant, of which she alone had known the meaning.It was the kind of silent time that was unreal. All that had occurred, including the menaces, the hysteria, the terror, it all seemed somehow like a long-dreamed-of dream I did not want to bring myself to wake.Rhea happened to see me standing there and smiled knowingly. "This is something you have to get used to, Nick. Now, your entire world revolves around them."I laughed inwardly and went deeper into the room. "Trust me, I already know."Juliet raised her eyes to me, with the little, sleepy
Juliet Carrington:-"I swear to God, Nicholas, you have to get these babies out of me right now, because I am telling you they are coming," I screamed, as I stood with my brother's support, clenching my belly, in the puddle of my broken water, while another contraction passed over me, and the need to push turned intense."Are you fucking serious?" Zack asked, stunned, "Are they really coming?"For a heartbeat, no one moved. Then Zach flicked his eyes and pointed at the puddle that was being created on the floor. "Oh, do say that it is apple juice. And tell me that the expectant woman did not transform the nursery into a water park.""It's not juice, you idiot!" I held my belly, another contraction struck me. "My water just broke!"In a moment, Nicholas was on his feet. His whole character shifted from a bickering husband to a composed doctor. "Okay, Jules, I have something serious to tell you in order to prepare you for delivery. The contractions are too close together. We will not ge
Juliet Carrington:-After a few months:-Had anybody said to me that laying out a nursery would become a battlefield, I would have burst out into laughter. However, in this instance, I sat in the rocking chair, with swollen ankles resting on a cushion, as my husband and my brother bickered like two large children over blocks."No, Nick, the crib should be in front of the window. So the babies will get natural light in the morning," Zach reasoned, gripping one side of the crib and glaring at my husband."That is the stupidest thing I have ever heard," said Nicholas, holding the other side of the crib and pulling it toward the other wall. "You want our kids to rise at five in the morning on account of the sun while your sister and I are trying to sleep after having a couple of rounds of sex? Absolutely not. The crib remains here, on this side of this wall, secure and in shadow."I put a hand on my belly and sighed. "They are not even born yet and you both are arguing about where they ar
