Caleb Craige's I sighed heavily for the first time today after reading my mother's text, they were on their way here. This has been sent last night when I was already asleep and Hazel was the first one to read it. "We have booked our flight. We're coming to wake you up from your dream. That woman is no good for you." "Just when will they understand that it would be me who tells who and what is good or bad for me?" I asked myself. "I'm no longer a kid to be controlled and tell what to do. Hell, they don't even know anything." Damn, I have already fixed half of my mess with Hazel. And we were now working to fix everything and here they come to cause another trouble. It was them who was making everything worse. They shouldn't even be concerned about this. It should be me and Hazel. I looked at my woman who was still sleeping soundly. My eyes went down to her belly, it was still flat but it would be only about three months before it started to become bloated. And even when she's
Caleb Craige's It was true that in a span of a few days, Hazel was able to familiarize herself with the city. She was a fast learner after all, so, it wasn't that surprising. But still, I could help to be amazed. Hazel was the one who led our tour after we confirmed a schedule for her check-up on one of the best ob gynes that I found in New York. Unfortunately, the ob gyne wasn't available today and we were scheduled to visit her tomorrow. And because of that, Hazel decided for us to take the whole day to tour and hang out around the city. "You'll be tired and it would be bad for the baby," I argued before we went out. Rolling her eyes, she responded, "We'll tour around the city, so, of course, I'll be tired after. But it doesn't mean that I can't do it, I'll be taking a rest after. And besides, you'll be there to carry me in case I don't want to walk anymore." Her confidence was turning me on and driving me crazy even more. It has been a while since I saw this side of her.
Caleb Craige's Shock was visible on my mother and Mirna's face as Mirna helped mom get up from the floor. Yes, she was thrown to the floor with the force that I exerted when I pushed her away from Hazel. And to my surprise as well, I didn't feel even an ounce of guilt for what I did. I was more concerned about Hazel and our baby's well-being. "Damn it, baby. Are you okay? How are you feeling?" I asked frantically as I helped her up. My jaw clenched seeing her winch from pain as she tried to push herself up with my help. It made me want to hurt someone. "I'm... good," she replied though it was obvious that she wasn't. "Don't lie to me, Hazel," I said in a hard tone. "It's obvious that you are not. I'll bring you to the hospital." "What? No, I'm fine—" "I insist." I cut her off. "I'll bring you to the hospital, now." Not waiting for her response, I lifted and carried her out without minding mom and Mirna who were still in utter shock with what just happened. My mind was
Caleb Craige's "Wow, I'm glad to hear that." I smiled and nodded at Athena who was now with me. Hazel was still sound asleep as I watched her. It was just seven in the morning though, so, it wasn't a problem. She'll wake up anytime from now. Athena went here at six and the moment she arrived, I told her everything that happened yesterday. She didn't know anything because she was preoccupied with something— no, someone. Her boyfriend, Evander Vanzanth followed her here and bombarded her after a few days of giving her a cold treatment. Though I wanted to ask her more about that, she chose not to talk about it and instead, focused on what happened yesterday. I told her what I did to mom and she was glad to hear that finally, I could say to myself that I was free from her. That our past affair won't hinder me anymore. "But... it was still kind of disrespectful to talk to her like that and pushed her. But then, you just protected Hazel. Your mom was the one who's at fault anyway.
Caleb Craige's "Just take these vitamins that I prescribed, avoid stress, staying up late, and don't tire yourself. Okay?" Hazel nodded as the ob gyne put her hands on the pocket of her gown after reminding us what we should do. This was Hazel's last day in the hospital and tomorrow, we'll be back in New York after she takes enough rest back in the hotel. Athena won't be coming back with us, she was now with her lover who just came here this morning to fetch her. Looks like they would spend some more time here before coming back to reality. I looked at Hazel who was still talking and asking Dra. Wrington, who until now still thought that Hazel and I were already married. None of us corrected her, I like how she addressed Hazel as Mrs. Craige. "If everything is okay now, I'll take my leave. Have a safe trip back to Australia." I nodded and thanked the ob before sitting beside my woman who was now getting ready to be discharged. The bills have been settled, we could go out any
Hazel Quin's Caleb's tired body collapsed on the bed the moment we came home. It didn't take him long to fall asleep, he didn't even bother to change. Sighing, I moved and started undressing him and changing his clothes with a pair of sweatpants and a white t-shirt so that he would be comfortable as he sleep. He was slightly moaning as I changed his clothes but was unconsciously moving along with my commands, making my task easier. It wasn't surprising that he would be this tired. I knew what he has been doing since he arrived in New York. He was working almost all of the time while taking care of me and slowly putting everything back in to place. It may not look like I knew it because I was always asleep due to pregnancy hormones, but whenever I was awake, I could see the dark circles and his eyes. And whenever I would wake up suddenly in the middle of the night, I would see him working and focused on his laptop. His workload was too much now that Mirna wasn't helping him any
Attorney Lopez was in his mid-fifties but still looked young and masculine. It was no doubt that he had made several women cry in his youth. Len and I invited him into the living room after introducing myself to him. He already knew me because according to him, Caleb always mentioned my name whenever they were talking regarding the cases filed against Stephanie. "He was always saying that we have to win this so that everything would be fine again and he could focus on working on your relationship." A small smile made its way to my lips upon hearing that. He may look mad at me before but he was still thinking of fixing our relationship despite breaking his heart and his trust. Indeed, he was a good man. It was something I failed to realize before. Caleb wouldn't let me down. Instead, he would lift me up but not to the point that I would depend on him. That's just how he was, he was caring and loving in his own way. "Well, I actually don't know what to say about that. I didn't
And the busy days making everything better started. The first, second, and third court trials for the cases filed against Stephanie have been done and everyone could now see what would be the outcome of the trials. We have the upper hand. Stephanie was infuriated upon seeing me again with Caleb. Her fury that her plans failed was evident, it helped the court consider the decision earlier than thought. Her temper was a disadvantage for them, she was caught one time when she tried to hurt me. Good thing the guards and Caleb were fast enough to handle her. "You bitch! Do you think I would let you go just like that?" "You took everything away from me. You don't deserve to be happy, you are a dream wrecker!" During our second trial, Stephanie's lawyer used the mentally-ill card to defend her. It showed that Stephanie might be experiencing mental illnesses, she was thinking that the world was against her and it was because of me. She was obsessed with the thought that everything tha
