"I'm glad you made it Mr. Williams." Dr. Peters said as she welcomed Lawrence into her office.Lawrence nodded as he took a seat opposite her. He looked very worried and uncomfortable. A lot of things were going through his head about the probability of what might happen. But deep down, he prayed for one thing; The strength to go through whatever might come his way."You can call me by my first name Dr. Peters. Lawrence is fine." He said."Okay, Lawrence. I really need to ask you this. Are you still having doubts about the baby being yours?" She asked with a serious tone."I don't know what to believe anymore, Doctor." He said as she slowly massaged his forehead, trying to prevent a headache that was already building up."When I received a call from Ava seven months back, She told me she was pregnant with my baby. I didn't believe her. I thought she was lying and told her not to contact me again. But today, when you called me, I felt the need to co

Lawrence jumped up from the couch he was sleeping on when he heard a very loud cry. It was Ava's scream which overtook the beeping sound of the Monitor.He walked as fast as his leg could take him towards Ava who was lying on the hospital bed in tears as she clutched her chest tightly. She was in pain.Lawrence panicked and ran out of the room to get help.Eventually, he was able to get a Doctor and a nurse who followed him immediately to Ava's ward. But they told him to wait outside the ward as they attended to her.Lawrence had never been so scared in his life as he was now. He prayed nothing happened to Ava. He was just getting to know her and he couldn't afford to lose her now. Besides, Luis needed his mother.About 12 minutes later, the Doctor came out from Ava's ward and Lawrence turned to him for answers"Will she be okay?" He asked in fear."We are losing her Mr. Williams. But She said she wants to have a word with you. I'm so

"I miss them already." Madiana sighed over the laptop as her sister chuckled."Maddie, but you just saw them about two hours ago." Madiana's elder sister, Linda exclaimed."How are they? Are they asleep already?" Maddie asked her sister with so much excitement in her voice.Trust me, no one loved children more than Maddie. That was one of her weaknesses. She had a soft spot for kids and wouldn't hesitate to play with them.Madiana had spent the weekend in her elder sister's home, taking care of Linda's kids, Kyle and Stormi.Linda had begged her younger sister Maddie to come help take care of her kids as she and her husband, Collins traveled to celebrate their wedding anniversary.Maddie was thrilled to look after her sister's children for the weekend and she had fun with them. She just returned to her apartment and she misses the two little cuties already."They are fine. Collins is preparing them for bed." Linda replied with a smile

Lawrence was able to get so much work done while Madiana watched Luis and did her work at the same time. He admired her for being an expert in multitasking.When lunchtime came, she still insisted on being with Luis. Saying the little boy was keeping her company. So Alice, Ethan's secretary, brought Lunch to Maddie in her office and they spent lunch together with the two ladies gushing over baby Luis...........................Lawrence sighed as he plopped down on the couch in his living room. He had just put Luis to bed. Since Luis was now in the picture and he cared so much for his son, he had to vacate work early, unlike those days where he would stay in his office and work till almost midnight.Being a single parent was really hard. Especially when he never saw it coming and had no time to prepare.Lawrence remembered Ava today when he was getting Luis ready for bed. He wondered what it would have been like if Luis had his mom around.L

THE FAMILY DINNERLawrence spent Saturday doing some work. He also spent some quality time with Luis, his son.When it was almost evening, he began preparing for their dinner which was to take place at his parents' mansion. He still had to pick Maddie on his way. So Lawrence dressed up in something casual, he arranged Luis's baby bag and got him ready.When Lawrence got to Maddie's apartment, He couldn't go down to knock on her door because Luis was sleeping in his car seat. He couldn't leave him alone in the car.So he called Maddie on the phone saying that they were already outside.Once he saw her walk out of her apartment and approach his car, Lawrence got down and assisted her in opening the door to the front passenger's seat.She blushed a little, thanking him and once She was settled, he went back to the driver's seat. "You look beautiful, Maddie. I think black colors fit you best, ''he said."Thanks, Mr. Williams.
