Melissa’s POV

Shit! I can’t go back. What if they find me? They won’t spare me. Is Dwayne behind it? Because I told Lucy about the pregnancy? But he doesn’t have that much power to… oh, no. Shane. I totally forgot about Shane. Quick. I need to leave. I need to…

The doorbell rang and my heart skipped a beat. I was doomed. Who was it? Was it the police? Had they traced me here so quickly? But I was sure I had my cover. Oh God. I didn’t plan for this. I should have thought about all of it. Why did I even do it? Now, I’m caught up in this mess. I don’t want to end up in jail. Someone save me. Who do I call?

My mind was a mess. I was breathing fast and rashly as I stared at the door. I couldn’t think straight. The doorbell came again and my mind jumped once more. If that was the police, then I wasn’t going to open up. I would rather die in this room for eternity.

The bell rang again and I hastily got to my feet. I felt like crying. Then, came the knocking. Shit. This was getting real. What

    Lucy’s POVGolden morning sun filtered through the curtains, lighting and warming the room. For the first time in weeks, both twins had slept later than dawn.It was supposed to be a gentle start.I was halfway through my coffee when Caroline blew in with the paper. “Front page, darling.”There was one: a picture of Dwayne and Xandra’s engagement, the headline citing the “Mason family charm.” I laughed. “Charm? They certainly didn’t see me screaming at Shane in that parking lot.”Caroline smiled. “They saw what mattered.”Before I could answer, the doorbell . It was quick, and sharp.Shane emerged from the nursery, still in his pajama pants. “Expecting someone?”“No,” I said. “Maybe Xandra forgot something.”The guard returned with a glossy black envelope. He handed it over to me. I took it, confused. It has no name and no return address.“The mail man said it was for Mrs. Wilson,” he said and I nodded, letting him return.I stared at the silver wax seal, imprinted with an odd symbol

    Lucy's POVThe twins changed everything from my sleep, to my schedule, my sanity. Everything was gone. The first week was a pain, then the next month. I was slowly getting used to it.It was 2 a.m, and I was doing what had become my nightly routine – trying to rock Aria to sleep while humming offline to a lullaby I barely remembered.Shane was up, holding Ethan because he was the one who started it, crying for no reason and waking his sister up.Ethan was the starter package. Aria was more quiet. He would cry so loud, waking his sister and go back to being quiet.Finally, Ethan closed his eyes and Shane had a lot of crisis trying to lay him in his crib without waking him up. “He's a little pain in the ass,” Shane whispered.“You're not different,” I mumbled back.Then he took Aria. She was a daddy's girl closing her eyes when she got in his arms. He rocked her, staying that way a little longer and I knew she was going to be spoiled rotten.“You're cheating. Ethan got little time,” I c

    Lucy's POVTwo and Half Months LaterThe music played in the ballroom. Tonight was Dwayne and Xandra's engagement party. He was as nervous as hell a day before, asking me for the hundredth time if Xandra would love to be his.Shane had fun mocking him. Dwayne and I had gotten closer. He acted like my brother and made Shane swear he would be the godfather of our child. Shane didn't buy that.“That's Caleb's role. You're an uncle. Deal with it.”“Tsk. After denying he was your best friend for so long,” Caleb complained.Shane had his hands over Dwayne's shoulder and teased him some more. “Thanks for making me realize it. You're not completely useless after all.”Dwayne shot him a glare and I knew what was up. “Nope. Not here. You two are going to act like grown men. Shane, stop testing Dwayne's patience. He needs it for tomorrow and you…”Dwayne's eyes immediately went to my face. “Let it go. Come help me with this.”Dwayne rushed over and then I felt a kick in my stomach. “Oooh,” I gro

    Lucy's POVI fastened the last clip of my mule. Shane wouldn't let me walk in heels even when I told him it was fine. He was scared I would break my ankle.My reflection in the mirror guided me as I applied my lipstick. I had a movie premiere to attend.My recent movie was cresting waves in the movie blockbuster and I was trending. Shane had promised me a surprise when he heard the news.I was still struggling to get my bracelet clasp when he stepped in looking handsome in his black tuxedo. His hair was perfectly styled.His eyes softened when they met mine. “You're glowing,” he praised, checking me out.I chuckled, trying to hide my blush and failed. “That's just the pregnancy hormones talking.”“No,” he whispered, closing the distance between us. “This one is on you, darling.”Mama Mia. How did I get this man? His fingers softly brushed a stray curl off my shoulder. I shivered when his warm hand touched my skin.“Close your eyes.”“Hmmm,” I said cheerfully. “What's the surprise?”“Y

I feel the baby's moving,” I said. “!!!” Susan screamed while I rubbed my belly. “How's my strong man doing?”“Susan, we aren't sure of its gender yet.”“Why not?” She asked.“I don't know. I just wanted it to be a surprise.”“Ah-ha. I wonder how surprised you'll be if you have twins.”I chimed. “Susan. Don't. I have a major crisis thinking about having one. I love babies but it's going to be twice the stress.”“I know. I'm just so excited to be a Godparent. How far gone are you?” She asked like an excited chipmunk.“Three months,” I answered and she giggled. Susan was more excited for the baby than I was.“I have to go. The models are giving me stress. I'll talk to you later. Bye, sweetie.”I kissed her back and the line went dead. I smiled, running my hand around my belly. “Mommy can't wait to meet you,” I cooed.Then I got out of bed.
