"Everything will be fine honey, we are in this together" Terrence assured and placed a kiss on Gabby's forehead.
As promised, he accompanied her for the checkup and they were both waiting in the reception until it was Gabby's turn to be called in. Gabby was so grateful he had accompanied her as she could not imagine going through this alone. She was anxious and scared at the same time.
Shortly, a nurse approached Gabby and told her that Doctor Isabelle was ready to see her in the ultrasound room. Terrence and Gabby walked hand in hand as if their lives depended on it.
"Hey! look who we have here," Isabelle stated as the soon-to-be parents stepped into the ultrasound room.
"Good morning, Isabelle," Gabby replied as Isabelle approached her and gave her a warm hug.
"Morning Bella" Terrence greeted, she hugged him too.
"I'm so happy you decided to keep the baby and I couldn't be happier seeing the both of you together." I
"Heyyy," Gabby greeted as Terrence walked into her office."And how's my queen doing this morning?" He asked as he approached her. He turned Gabby's chair towards him and squatted before her."I'm fine." She placed a kiss on his lips."And the baby?" He whispered as he caressed her belly.She smiled. "The baby is fine too.""Good to hear. I hope the morning sickness did not weigh you down today?" He asked, looking concerned."My mom was there to help me through it today and she made sure I had breakfast and took my vitamins before I left the house," Gabby said.Terrence grinned. "I love your mom already.""I miss taking coffee and yet I can't stand the smell.""I know you do. But I guess it's one of the sacrifices a mother has to make." Terrence reasoned.Gabby nodded instantly."How's Sophie?" Gabby couldn't help but ask."She's good. I was thinking of
"Come on Sophie, we are going to be late." Terrence reminded as he walked out of his room into Sophie's room and found his little girl on her bed with a sad face."What's wrong, darling. Don't you want to go to Gabby's place anymore?" Terrence asked softly as he sat on her bed and placed Sophie on his lap.This is very strange as Sophie was the one who was over the moon yesterday when Terrence informed her that they would be going over to Gabby's place for dinner tonight."I'm not happy, Daddy. This shoe doesn't fit me anymore." Sophie said sadly as she looked down at the shoe.Terrence took a glance at the shoe and saw that it was her favorite pair of shoes. It couldn't fit her anymore because she had outgrown it."Don't be sad my love; I will get you another one," Terrence said."But I love this shoe" Sophie whispered, not taking her eyes off the beauty."I know, sweetheart but it no longer fits you. Yo
It's Thursday today and Terrence has been going from one meeting to another; He has not gotten the chance to see Gabby at all."Ian, can we please take a break? I need to see Gabby," Terrence said to Ian who was going over the report of their new project."Sure, bro. We still have about a 20 minutes break before the Shanghai investors arrive." Ian replied."Oh, thank goodness. I will be right back." Terrence walked out of Ian's office, took the lift to the third floor where the human resource department was."Hi, Katherine. Is Gabby in?" Terrence asked."No, sir. She stepped out about an hour ago." Katherine replied."Did she by any chance tell you where she was going?""No. But she said she won't be back to the office until tomorrow." Katherine answered."Alright. Thanks." He said as he went back to Ian's office. He took out his phone from his pocket and dialled Gabby's number bu
SOPHIA'S BIRTHDAYFinally, Sophia Adoria Tennon clocks 5 today and she will be having a home party; A princess-themed party. It was hard for Sophia to fall asleep yesterday night as she was so excited for today.Gabby moved in with Terrence and Sophie two weeks after he asked her to move in with them. They now live together as a loving family connected by hearts. Sophie was now so fond of Gabby that Terrence sometimes gets jealous of Gabby getting all the attention he used to. But Terrence was over the moon. His girls were his life; nothing could be more fulfilling than having those you love most staying with you."Morning my love," Terrence kissed Gabby on her forehead."Morning," She replied, kissing him on the cheek."Shouldn't we go wake up the birthday girl now?" She asked."Sure. Let's do that." Terrence encouraged, helping her out of bed. They left their room for Sophie's room.Little Sophie
DAYS LATERThings have been going on well with the Tennon's. Gabby and Terrence went for another checkup a few days after Sophie's birthday and Sophie was opportune to go along with them this time around. Thankfully, the baby was healthy and growing but it would take a few more weeks before the sex could be detected. Sophie had a strong feeling that the baby was going to be a girl even when Terrence tried to convince her that the baby might just be a boy. Whatever gender, Terrence and Gabby seem to be okay about it, so long as the baby was healthy. Everyone in Sophie's class now knows that Sophie was a soon-to-be big sister. The little girl just couldn't keep calm about the news. She wants the baby to come out already.Gabby and Terrence woke up very early this morning since they had a board meeting to attend. They even had to skip breakfast to be able to meet up with the meeting. So Michelle would be the one to drop Sophie at school today.Sophie, o
A FEW NIGHTS LATERTerrence was asleep when he heard someone let out a scream. He sat up immediately and saw that Gabby was no longer by his side. He looked towards the bathroom, the door was opened and the light was on.He set the duvet aside and walked as fast as his legs could carry him to the bathroom. What he saw made his world crumble; Gabby was on the floor. He rushed to her and raised her head which he put on his lap."Gabby, are you okay?" Terrence panicked,Gabby slowly opened her eyes, she brushed her hands through her inner thigh and showed Terrence. Blood; she was bleeding."Ss...save..m..my..baby, Terrence." She said weakly as she gradually closed her eyes.Terrence lifted her in his arms and ran out of the bathroom. He got his car keys and headed to the car immediately. He carefully placed Gabby in the back seat before running over to the driver's seat and started the car. Thank goodness Sophie wasn't at home with
A MONTH LATERA very huge smile found its way to Terrence's face as he noticed something Gabby had not yet noticed."What are you smiling at?" Gabby chuckled as she stood across the bed in her shorts and PJ shirt.Terrence went over to where she was standing and led her to the front of the mirror. Gabby was at the front while Terrence was behind her. He raised her shirt a little and Gabby screamed, covering her face with her hands which made Terrence laugh out loud.Gabby's baby bump was now visible, you can even tell from afar that she was pregnant."Stop laughing at me." Gabby groaned as she playfully hit him on his chest."I'm really happy, sweets; our baby is showing itself already." Terrence grinned."But my stomach wasn't like this last night," Gabby said as she lovingly caressed her belly with her right hand."I know, It's a miracle what a woman's body can do" Terrence placed his hand on Gabby's bump."How did you
THE DUE DATE-------- HER BIRTH"I can't do this anymore Terrence; It is so painful," Gabby said in tears."You can, Gabby. You are the strongest woman I know. I can see her head. Just a few more pushes and you will be holding her in your arms." Terrence encouraged.It kills Terrence to see Gabby in so much pain with him unable to do anything rather than standing there and holding her hand, whispering encouraging words into her ear.God bless all our Mothers!And Yes, Sophie was right all along. They later found out they would be having a girl and Sophie was very thrilled. She insisted that she wants the baby to share her room with her but Terrence and Gabby refused.They decided the baby will stay in their room for the first few weeks of its birth and will be transferred to the nursery later on. Then maybe when the baby clocks one, she can now share a room with Sophie.Sophie was grumpy at first but later agreed to t
