The Contract You're The Gomez To My Morticia
LaylaI stood looking at Danny as he drifted off in thought. Should I ask him what is going on? I have never seen him this mad, what could have possibly happened out there? Who the hell did he see out there? "Danny, are you ok?" I asked but got no answer in return. He was too lost in thought. "Danny?" I asked again, making him look back at me. "Uh... Yeah, everything's fine, ladybug. Don't worry about me." he says giving me a big smile. I knew he was just saying that to not get me worried, but I wasn't going to push the subject until he was ready to tell me. He trailed his hands around my waist and hugged me tightly. He kissed my stomach, placing his forehead delicately on my stomach and sighing. "Ladybug, promise me something." "What is it?" "Promise me that you will never leave us. I'd die if you and my little one's ever left me." his words concerned me. There was something he was not telling me, but until he was comfortable talking, I'd have to live with curiosity."Danny, I c
The Contract Who Is She?
LaylaIt's just about time for the grand opening of the daycare, and neither my dad nor Danny are here. "Where are they?" I whispered to myself, getting nervous. I was a little anxious, tapping my foot nervously and hitting my lip as I looked toward the door, hoping that they would come in any moment."Layla, we're ready for you, honey." mom says, as she and my sister Karla walk up to me. Mom had Zoey in her arms. She had helped me dress her in a cute princess dress in a light blush pink color. The dress was long and puffy, just like she liked it. She loved dressing like a princess."Ok. Hey...Have you guys seen Danny or dad?" I say as my hormones got the best of me making my stomach flutter from how nervous I was feeling."No, sweetie, I'm afraid not." mom answers, holding Zoey's back as she stretches backward. "They should be here soon, don't worry," Karly adds, placing her hand on my shoulder. "Looks like these things are not as important to them as you thought. But I mean, they
The Contract Talk With Her
LaylaI knew something was up with Danny, and this woman standing before us was the proof of it. I looked at Danny and he comes closer to talk to me. "I will take care of it. Take Zoey to the bathroom again, it's fine," he says as I look at him with concern. But my main worry was that Zoey keeps asking to go to the restroom. I knew I shouldn't have let her drink so much, but she has been drinking so much cranberry juice today. "Danny, who is she? And how does she know who I am?" I ask, but he sighs, closing his eyes."No one. No one important, don't worry about it. Ok? I got this, baby. Go, before Zoey has an accident." he says, and I sigh, looking back at the lady standing with a sad and worried expression."Alright. I'll be back soon." I say, but the fact is, I was too preoccupied with this. I had to find out who she was or it was going to eat at me all night.Before I was back, the lady had left and Danny chatted with guests as if nothing had ever happened. I shrugged it off for
The Contract Heather
Layla“Hhhmmm.” I sighed deeply as I ran my hands through my hair. It was so early in the morning, and I feel as if I get up earlier and earlier every day to get ready. I needed to make time to doll myself up and be able to get Zoey ready for school as well. But this morning was worse. I am so sleepy. Danny kept tossing and turning last night. I doubt he had any sleep as well, and this morning when I finally woke up, he was already up, working out at our home gym.I got off the vanity and placed the top back on my mascara before I forgot and left it open again. I've been forgetful lately, and I'm tired and sleepy all the time. I don't know if it's part of my pregnancy or if I'm just low in iron or something. This is something I definitely need to talk to my doctor about in our next visit.I made my way to Zoey’s room and opened the door slowly. Ruth had slept in Zoey’s room again. I can't blame her, we had gotten Zoey a huge beanbag that looked like a giant dog bed. It was so incred
The Contract She Belongs To Me
LaylaI sat across from Heather at a small cafe, just a few blocks away from work. I won't lie. There are hundreds of questions surging through my noggin, and it's making me go crazy-nervous. Why the hell was she here? What could she possibly want to talk to me about, and Why the hell now? Did she not make Danny and Zoey suffer enough by lying to them? She made him believe she was Zoet]y was his daughter, and then, just took off. It tore Danny apart, and I don't even want to imagine how it may have affected Zoey. She was so little but she still got so attached to Danny. To have been yanked away from him and taken away. God, it makes my heart ache for them."Ok. So? What did you want to talk about, Heather? Why are you here? And, how do you even know who I am? We have never met, other than the day you and Daniel announced you were getting married." I said, making her sit with a silent stare. She looked deadly mad, but I don't think she was as pissed off as I was now, nor how mad Dann
The Contract They Knew
LaylaI had no desire on going back to work, but I dragged myself anyway. “Control yourself, Layla. God- what am I going to do?” I couldn't keep myself together, no matter how hard I tried. I walked slower than usual, not wanting to do a thing. My damn tears kept pouring out, and people kept looking at me weirdly. ‘Yes, people- I'm crying.’ I rolled my eyes, not carrying what they were thinking. I mean, have they never seen a girl cry while walking back to work before? Come on now. The worse thing is, I think a damn paparazzi took pictures of Heather and me back at the cafe. I swear I saw flashes go off, but I could be wrong. Maybe it was just the sun reflecting off of cars passing by. I wiped my face as best as possible and took a deep breath, holding onto my stomach. “Everything is going to be fine, right baby? It has to be. Your sister is going nowhere. I promise if it's the last thing I do.” need to stay positive, I can't let anyone know what's going on, and give myself off by
The Contract Trials Emerging
Layla✨✨The Next day✨✨I was too overwhelmed, so Danny thought it was best for me to take the day off. I woke up extremely early today, unable to sleep, but I stayed in bed, feeling much more tired than usual. Danny had even gotten up extra early to fix breakfast f0r me and had Bryce help him feed Zoey.I dreaded getting out of bed feeling myself heavy. I did anyway soon as I was feeling pressure under my tongue. I knew what was coming as my chest felt heavy, making me sprint toward the bathroom feeling the morning sickness sneak up on me. I dreaded the vile rising in me, making my stomach and chest hurt as I continued to vomit. When I finally finished, I was left with a huge pulsing headache. I sat with my back against the sink cabinet, massaging my temple as the throbbing continued. Riley is usually around and checks on me, but today she left to take Logan to his pediatric appointment. Poor little one came crying last doctor visit after getting shots. He enjoyed a nice warm chamom
The Contract Your Jealousy Is Showing
Danny"Yes, I will be there. Don't let her out of your sight, I don't care what you have to do. Stop her if you must." I gave Bryce commands as I spoke with him on the phone. I have been swampy with work, and I was trying to finish a damn order for the restaurant online as I talked with Bryce at the same time. "Damn it," I grunted, realizing I had marked the wrong damn brand of the chocolate we use for Layla's favorite dessert in my restaurant. I closed my eyes, p9nching the curve of my nose in frustration. "Everything alright, boss?" Bryce anticipated asking. He knew I have been in an ominous mood lately. "No, I- I'm fine, Bryce. Do what I asked, I will be there soon as I can." I said, clicking the phone to end the call. I saw and made the directions on my order, clicked away, and then pressed send. I approved the order immediately, grabbed my keys and coat, placing on me as soon as I possibly could, and made my way out the door. "Jen, I'll be out of the office for a few hours. If
