LOGIN“Avery, you didn’t have to bother me and the twins. They are just three months old and as for me, I have still not resumed my maternity leave” Catherine said and pouted. I looked at Catherine and laughed out loud“Mom, you’re not the one on maternity leave” I teased“Avery, I have been the one taking care of the twins. So I’m the one on maternity leave”I knew there was no winning against an insistent Catherine so I replied“Okay mom, if you say so”We arrived at the fashion house and I began selecting dresses for Lewis and Eric while Catherine headed to the office. The clothes the team brought were perfect for my boysWhen Catherine came, I showed her the dresses I had picked for the twinsShe frowned slightly and said“No Avery, my grand babies won’t be wearing such ordinary clothesImmediately, Catherine signaled for her assistant and he came with different dresses. Seeing those options, I realized I had chosen something ordinary for my babies The outfit appeared to be perfect o
Ethan dropped me off at the modelling agency. Everything looked different or maybe it was just in my mindAs soon as I entered, bubbles floated across the space and a write up above the wall read“Welcome back, Avery”The sight made me pause and a soft gasp escaped my mouth“Welcome back Avery” the team exclaimed unanimously walking out one after the other from the back door. The room erupted in a warm round of applause and Mr plies stepped forward with a bouquet of flowers saying,“Welcome back Avery”I looked at them as a smile spread across my faceMary stepped forward excitedly “Welcome back Avery, we have a surprise for you in your office”“Oh okay” I said, feigning surprise“I’ll head to the office then”I turned to leave but caught the tail end of a conversation among the models“She’s the boss?” One asked in a surprise tone “Obviously she is. Looks like you just started working here” another replied“ I heard she just gave birth but she doesn’t look like one” a third one
“Wow, I've missed this place” I said as I and Josh walked through different departments in dad's company.I remember how dad used to bring me here and introduce several workers to me. These are moments that shaped my childhood.I can remember the faces of some workers as dad still kept the loyal ones. These memories brought a smile to my faceBut then again, the smile faded as I remembered how Vivian took over the company and changed everything for the worst.But my mood lifted up as I remembered that all these were in the past now. Josh railed me out of my thought as he said“The workers were carefully selected with the help of Ethan and Lucas” My face creased in surpriseLucas noticed my expression and felt I needed explanation as he said,“I meant the new faces you're seeing” he emphasized but that wasn't it“Ethan?” I asked and Josh nodded in affirmation I shook my head slightly as if I was just processing all that he had said“I know you're surprise,” he said as I looked at hi
It's been two weeks postpartum and I can say that being a mother is the easiest milestone I have ever attained. Catherine, Ma Jane and Ethan had made it easier for me to focus on healing after child birth. They handled the feeding, burping and little worries that come with newborns. I was lost in thoughts when the shower bell rang, it gave a sharp sound that pulled me back to the present “Avery, hurry up, breakfast is getting cold”Catherine's voice rang out. Ethan's voice resounded “Mom, let her be. Go on and eat, we’ll join you guys” “You know we don't have our meals that way. Hurry up, we are waiting for you” Hearing Catherine say they were all waiting for me made me hurry up, eager not to keep everyone waiting I got downstairs and found them at the table “Avery I'd like to go home now that you have nannies to help” Ma Jane said I shook my head feeling a slight heaviness in my chest, keeping a downcast expression “You’re okay, right?” She asked I didn'
“Eric and Lewis” Ethan blurted out Everyone began clapping surprisingly at the names of the twins leaving me with a soft chuckle at the joy that filled the room. Ethan gathered us in his embrace again At the mansion, Ma Jane would be staying for few weeks to help take care of the babies Catherine approached Ethan and asked him to take me upstairs, stating that I needed so much rest. He nodded and lifted me up to the room In the bedroom, Ethan kept giving me a questable gaze “Love, you want anything?” He asked affectionately I shook my head and said ‘no’ with a small smile plastered on my lips “Love, let me arrange a hot bath for you” Ethan said and walked to the bathroom I made my way to the vanity, looking at my reflection in the mirror, taking in the sight of the woman who had just become a mother. I felt lighter but my stomach was still protruded. I was still fragile, hence I couldn't walk properly, so I then moved to the bed and sat there. After a f
And with the speed of light, we got to the hospital. I cried in excruciating pain as we moved to the delivery room. Ethan came in, despite me discouraging him from it. I didn't want him to see me in so much pain. I became restless as I began panting for air “Ethan,” I called out with tears in my eyes. In between breath With my eyes glistening in tears, I looked at Ethan and saw tears in his eyes. He couldn't hold it anymore as it trickled down his cheek. The pain surged again, but this time Ethan held my hand in deep comfort Before I could gather my thoughts, I let out a large cry as I felt Ethan's hand At that moment, the room was filled with the invincible cries of our babies. I didn't even know how I had the invincible strength to push two babies. “Love, you did it” Ethan's voice filled my thoughts with me still panting for air and a wide smile spread across my lips. “Congratulations Avery. Your boys are strong and healthy” Micheal said I felt my heart r
I changed my long flowy gown to a short skimpy dress that complimented my stature. I had long straight legs which helped a lot and made me embody the theme of the show. As the lead model, I opened the show with a long, calculated and rehearsed stride. I could hear gentle clicks of the camera as
As we drove back home, the car was filled with the soothing sounds of music, a playlist that Ethan had curated just for me.He had one hand on the wheel while his other hand intertwined with mine. We had escorts trailing behind us, but it felt like we were alone.“Let's make a quick stop here, mom
“He's my son, Jane,” dad's voice raised up a little too loud“And I am your wife” Ma Jane fired back“Since he came, I have suddenly become invincible” Ma Jane said in an emotionally packed tone “Janet I am trying to make up for lost times” Ma Jane then gave a hot and sharp reply.“No pierce, you
The living room hummed with a hush of anticipation as dad fixed a Stern look at Ethan. I clasped my hand around Ethan as we took in the pressure.Dad cleared his throat and narrowed his eyes.“You promise to take care of my daughter?” Dad asked in a surprisingly harsh tone. I had never heard him sp
