It’s been about 5 months since Luna and Alex had been staying in same house together. She was already in her second trimester and might even be in her third trimester soon.They mostly behaved like strangers in the house. They never ate on the dinning together, no matter how much Luna tries to persuade Alex. He would tell Maria to bring his food to his room.On some days when Alex came down to the living room and was watching a show. Luna would sit next to him and would try to form and make up conversations but it always never worked.On most days, Alex head is thinking about Steph. How she is doing? What she is doing? Due to that, he sometimes just comes down and watches the tv series “friends” like they used to.He would smile as he watched it because sometimes, he would remember the reactions she made while they watched together and would just smile.On some days, he found himself staring at her pictures on his phone. Sometimes, almost dialing her number but he knew she didn’t real
Steph went around the space, as she monitored the decoration. Today was the day Mark was proposing to Mia. Steph excitedly went through the decorations again. She needed everything to be perfect. It’s been 4 months since Mia’s recall of events that had happened. Mark wanted to give her sometime and that was why it took that long to decide on the proposal again.Mark had requested the help of Steph for the planning of the proposal and Steph was really happy to help.They decided to do it in a hall. There were flowers on the floor spelling out “will you marry me”.There was a guy who was by the side and was supposed to play the guitar as Mia walks in.There was food prepared, the decorations was in pink and white and also red roses which lay on the floor.There was also a big projector screen that is supposed to play back pictures of mark and Mia from when they started dating.Steph felt a hand around her waist from behind and then a kiss on her cheek. She turned back and realized it
It’s been a week after Luna gave birth and Alex’s mum had told her she could return to Alex’s place. Even though Alex wasn’t all for it, he had no choice. They all sat on the couch in the living room. Alex’s mum had requested that they all come out for a brief talk.“So, Luna we were wondering if the boy can be raised here. I mean, it’s better condition, he will have everything he wants and would never lack anything,” she explained.Luna smiled, knowing where the conversation was leading and knowing what her answer was going to be. She had it all preplanned already.“What do you say?” Alex’s mum asked.Alex just sat watching both of them. He had nothing to say, as he wasn’t even in on it in the first place and was only there because his mum asked him to be.“I accept, it’s fine,” Luna said.“That’s amazing!! I knew you would,” Alex’s mum said, excitedly.“I have a condition though and also a question,” Luna said.Alex wondered what it was and predicted that she was going to say somet
Steph woke up to her phone beeping several times. She turned to the side of her bed and turned on the lamp. She sat up straight in bed and picked up her phone. The sound wouldn’t let her sleep and it was starting to annoy her.She looked at her phone and saw it was a message from Alex. It was a long text from him.“I know I am probably the last person you want to here from but I have a few things to say and would appreciate if you would read till the end. I know things didn’t end well with us and if there is a way to go back in time and change even just one thing, I would change all that and the fact that I broke your heart. I still love you as much as I did the first time I said it to you, i and Luna are getting married in a few weeks and I wanted you to hear it from me first. Mother insisted it was the best thing to do. I know there is no explanation that can make any of this better but I hope you never forget that the love I have for you is real.”Steph read each line with utmost
Alex walked down the stairs, he was running late for his meet up with Steph by the lake. As he was about to leave, he heard his mum call."Alex," he turned in the direction of the voice, wondering when and how his mother had gotten into the house."Mum, what are you doing here?" He said, walking towards her."Sit," his mum, said."Mum, I am running late for something.""It would only take a minute.""Alright."He sat next to her on the couch."Where is Luna?" She asked.Alex raised his brows at his mum."You can't seriously be asking me about her now, after everything she has done.""Are you still taking her side?""No, I am not. I was only just asking.""I don't know where she is mum. I told her to leave and she left early this morning. I didn't bother asking where she was going," he explained."I am sorry for all that she caused you," His mum said."It's not your fault, it's hers.""I know but I enabled her. I always took her side and even when you didn't want something, I made
Steph woke up very early. Mia was still asleep and she didn't want to wake her. So, she just left a text down for her that she was going to the orphanage.Steph got to the orphanage as early as she could, she was eager to see Lily but wasn't happy because it might be the last time she would be seeing her. "Steph, thank you for coming," Leslie said, immediate she sighted Steph.She pulled her in for a hug ."I wouldn't miss it for a thing," Steph said.Leslie and Steph walked towards where Lily was sitting. "She has been sitting like that since and has refused to move. The couple will be here soon and I don't want them to meet her this way," Leslie said, worried.Steph sat next to her."I will try to cheer her up," she said."I know you don't want to go and you probably can't say all that's on your mind now but it's going to be fine, trust me," Steph said."I brought this for you," Steph said, pulling out the big teddy bear next to her."Your birthday is next week and I wanted to g
Alex walked back into the living room where Steph and Mia was."What's going on?" Steph asked, looking up at Alex.Alex sat next to Steph on the chair."The police have already gotten to where Frank and Mia are," he explained.Steph sighed."That's a sign of relief at least.""What they did is crazy, I don't know why Frank would do that to me. He is supposed to be my best friend," Alex said. He was really pained and had expected so much more from his friend."I can't believe Oliver too. Is the police going to get him too? Steph asked.Even after all the terrible things he did. She still cared for him. "We don't have enough evidence on him yet so it's only if Frank and Luna drag him along with them," he explained."First, she lied about being pregnant and all and now this? I can't believe that both of them would do such to me. That's really desperate," he added."What did Leslie say about Isabella? Will you two be able to get her back?" Mia asked."She said it will depend, if they are
After Alex had gone, Mia came out of the room as Steph closed the door behind Alex. Steph sat on the couch and Mia sat next to her. Steph was still beaming and she was all smiles. Mia hadn't seen her be this way in a long time and she was really excited about all of it. Steph stared at the stuffed animal Isabella was playing with. She smiled looking at her."She is so pretty," she said and a tear dropped down her cheek."Just like her mum, she has your best features," Mia said and she smiled."Isabella," Steph called but Isabella didn't turn and then Steph realized that she wasn't used to being called that."She doesn't even know her name," Steph said."I have missed so many important parts of her life," she added.Mia moved closer to Steph and held her hands."Yes, you have but there is still a lifetime ahead of you to be with her," Mia said, while they both watched Isabella."Before you know it, she is 18 and ready to go off to college," Steph said and Mia chuckled."There i
