The Broken Diamond 32- Shocked and excited
I sat in the waiting room, nervous and excited. it felt like hours, but I knew it had only been a few minutes. so many thoughts were running through my head right now. Alexander sat next to me, rubbing my knee and filling out some papers for me. I had filled out most of them, but he knew all the insurance stuff. "Mrs. Karina Branson" I heard a woman call my name we stood up together and walked to the nurse standing in the door to the back. I squeezed Alexander's hand as tightly as I could. "Follow me. we're gonna get some vitals and get an ultrasound before I take you to see the doctor." The woman smiled as she led us back. she was pretty blonde with hair pulled up into a cute, messy bun. her scrub top had hearts and pulse lines. her eyes were beautiful and kind, and I was jealous of her make-up skills and full lashes. the name tag on her badge read 'Eliza'. what a pretty name. "Alrighty then, let's get you to ultrasound." Eliza smiled and led us to dim room with a big screen
The Broken Diamond 33- loving husband
the ride home was a blur. I was in shock. how could I not know for fourteen weeks that I was pregnant? i couldn't help but think back on everything I had done in the last fourteen weeks. the engagement parties, the wedding, the honeymoon, I didn't get drunk or anything, but I did have a glass of wine or two. Alexander drove us home, and he couldn't stop smiling. every now and then, he'd squeeze my hand. thankfully, he didn't say anything. my husband is amazing and understanding. i hope he knew I was excited too just right now, I was shocked. we got home, and Alexander went to the bedroom to make a phone call. I just sat in the living room and tried to process everything. after about twenty minutes, Alexander came down stairs and scooped me off the couch. "What are you doing?" I asked, giggling. "My mom has Jane for the night," he stated. "You and I are going to process your emotions about this baby together, and you're gonna start by taking a bath." Alexander sat me down in
The Broken Diamond 1- leaving
Katrina's pov I gather all our belongings in a rush. I try to calm myself and focus on keeping a brave face for my daughter. my soon to be ex-husband comes in screaming at me. I try to ignore him and shove more clothes into bags until the burning sensation spreads across my cheek. "I'm talking to you you selfish little bitch. you think you can just leave and take our daughter?" he screams in my face. " You can't make it one day without me!" I try to move past him and continue packing, but he shoves me into the dresser. "You think you can just pack up and leave? You're broke and have no place to go porca puttana!" he continues to insult me, but all I can hear is my little girl screaming from her crib. "You can't keep us here anymore. I'm more than capable of taking care of myself and Jane." I scream at him as I push past him and pick up my daughter to soothe her. I put her in her carseat and grabbed my phone and keys. "I am leaving here, taking my daughter, and there is nothing yo
The Broken Diamond 2- homecoming
I drove as far as I could, trying to forget everything that just happened. I didn't know where I was going or what I was doing. Dylan's voice still ringing in my head. I needed to find my family. I needed to get Jane to a safe place. i hadn't spoken to my brothers in years, and my parents were gone. my mother passed after a mysterious accident that is still under investigation, and my father met his demise shortly after the downfall of my marriage. I had to turn my phone off because Dylan was blowing up my phone with calls and text of threats and pleads. I wasn't falling for that again, not this time. Jane is 3 months old, and she's already seen too much for even an adult to witness. I wasn't turning back. No amount of money or luxury was going to make me return. he may be a big bad wolf, but I'm even bigger and badder lioness. I had the feeling to check my phone, so I pulled over for gas and turned my phone on. After what seemed like a million notifications later and filling up
The Broken Diamond 3-after the shock
I woke up in a panic, my heart racing with fear. Where was Jane? where am I? I took a deep breath to calm myself. the smell of lavender and cherry blossoms brought me back to a state of calm. I looked around and recognized the dark purple walls and gold trim everywhere. I was in my old room, in my golden Cali King princess bed, as I used to call it. the door was cracked just enough for me to hear my brother cooing and awing somewhere close by. they must have Jane. I tried to sit up, but it hurt so much to move. an unfamiliar face popped in from the bathroom door carrying a basket of medical supplies. "Oh good, you're awake! don't move dear, you're far too weak. Let me help you, " the middle-aged woman said, hurrying over to me. I guess she was a nurse of some sort. she helped me sit up and stuffed pillows behind me. "I'll go get Mr. Kev and Dr. Brown." the woman said, walking away without giving me a chance to speak. I hate when people do that. Kev and an older gentleman in a whi
The Broken Diamond 4-decisions
I could feel his breath in my hair. I could smell his skin right under my nose. i could feel his muscular frame wrapped around me. I wasn't sure if I was dreaming or if this was real. I prayed this was real. I opened my eyes and looked around. I almost didn't believe it. I was in my old room, but nothing had changed. it was just the way I left it except for Jane tucked away in her crib in the corner next to my king-sized bed. I tried to roll over, but Alexander's grip got tighter. I guess he thought I was trying to leave. "I want to see you face not run away," I laughed. he loosened his grip and propped himself up on his elbow. "i was lost in the moment." he said sleepily. " The moment lasted all night, and your lazy bums are wasting daylight." Kade interrupted, standing at the foot of the bed. " Get out!" I threw a pillow and hit Kev completely missing Kade. all my brothers stood at the foot of the bed. once Alexander realized it, he jumped halfway across the room like a teena
The Broken Diamond 5- Lighting the match
we landed in Chicago and went to luggage claim. Jane slept in her baby wrap snugg as a bug on Alexander's chest the whole flight. I was falling in love with Alexander more and more. he was amazing with Jane and a natural at that. she didn't even cry when she woke up at the air port. " I'm surprised she behaved so well for her first flight," I told Alexander as I helped him take off the wrap. "Well, she had a comfy bed and a great sound machine," Alexander laughed as he patted his chest. I laughed and took Jane to get changed while the guys found our luggage. I returned back to the group and noticed Cousin juno kept checking his phone. I didn't think much of it until I saw the number that was calling him as he ran off from the group. " Well, I'll be damned." I said, walking over to my brothers. " What's wrong, Kar?" Kyle asked " I'm gonna ring a blue canaries neck," I said, pointing to the poll, juno was trying to hide behind taking his call. "What do you mean?" kev step
The Broken Diamond 6- the meeting
I woke up to the sound of knocking at the door. I looked at the clock- 1030 am. Hurriedly, I threw on a robe and opened the door. it was Nona holding a tray of breakfast. "I thought you two could use some nourishment." Nona said with a wink. "Your brother and a few cousins are off tending to some things. sweet Jane is playing with nonno in the sitting room. come join us when you're ready, " she said casually as she placed the tray on the dresser and walked out of the room. "Thank you, Nona!" I said as she shut the door as I carried the tray over to the bed, Alexander sat up, stretching his long muscular arms. he kissed me and helped me back in bed with the food. on the tray was a couple of plates with eggs, bacon, sausage, crepes, and fresh fruits. we each had a nice cappuccino and orange juice as well. "Nona outdid herself," Alexander mumbled with a mouth full of bacon. "This is amazing. reminds me of my childhood, " I said, scarfing down my crepes. after we finished our b
