Karl Thompson...I stared at the ceiling, hoping staring at a single spot would compel me to sleep. Sigh after sigh escaped my lips as I tried to fall asleep. I rolled to my side and looked at Lucy's empty side of the bed. Damn it what I wouldn't give to have her hear by my side, right nowTwo weeks. It's been two weeks since she's been back into this house and I honestly thought that I would be able to hold her in my arms in a few days. While two weeks seem to be short at a normal day, it has been impossibly long for me. So long that I hate going to work and wasting the precious time I could be spending with my wife and unborn baby.The only good thing about work is the share transfer I have been preparing. It would be finalized with in a few days...I frowned when I heard my phone ring. I looked over my shoulder at the phone on the night stand. I looked at the caller ID and I immediately shot up to a sitting position. Reaching out for the phone, I grabbed it bef

Karl Thompson...Dear God my neck is killing.I let out a loud groan as I squeezed the back of my neck to try and relief the tightness.I squeezed my eyes shut as I slowly sat up with my 32 year old body feeling like eighty. The bench couch was not doing me any favors. Other than the fact that I got Lucy to sleep in the same room as me, I have been feeling the effects of sleeping in a cramped position.If I try to get comfortable and lay on my back, my leg would be hanging down the couch in an uncomfortable way. Even if it was comfortable, my feet would be resting on the floor because the bench couch is that short than it wouldn't even stop my feet from standing on the damn cold floor.The other issue would be forgetting that I am sleeping on the bench couch and making the mistake of trying to roll around. I can't count with my fingers how many times I've dropped myself on the floor and woken up in the middle of the night.And when I do manage to keep my feet off the

Lucy Chaw...I played with my ring finger, forgetting that my wedding band is not around my finger.I watched as the cars and houses pass in silence."How was your day?" Karl asked and I turned to look at him.Karl had promised that he would come home for lunch as he always does but today, he was dealing with family affairs at work. I am sure that it is about April and June but I didn't want to ask because he seemed too stressed to want to talk about it."It was good." I answered. "I had a great time with my mom. Oh, and Susu tried to scam Ethan and Stuart in to giving her cookies." I laughed.I had been funny to see Susu draw her big eyes at the two and made them give her all the treats she wanted just like she did to me on the very first day I met her."So Susu is like your sister now?" He asked as he kept his eyes on the road.""Basically." I nodded my head. "I'm still not sure what is going on with my mother and Ed but I know they care for each other and that mom loves

"She is pissed." Zeus commented and I couldn't help but let out a loud sigh. "Did she at least talk to June?" I asked."June? No. Big sis didn't come home last night. She called to tell mom that she had a lot of work to catch up on and that she wouldn't make it for dinner. The suddenly she called and said that she was going to pull an all nighter."I ran my fingers through my hair as I listen to Zeus report what had been happening in the house lately.April had found out that she was missing one of her drawing book and it didn't take her much time to figure out that Zeus was the one that took it. And like always, Zeus had chose to tell her the truth and that I asked him to "borrow" one of her drawing books. She is not happy about it.Zeus said she almost bit his head off and then stormed off into her room. She is yet to return since last night."It's impossible to help them, isn't it?" I asked as I shook my head."Let them figure out their own shit, Karl. Stop trying to fix everyon

I looked at my reflection and I already regretted my decision to go to the Thompsons Mansion tonight.I was standing in the walk-in closet, changing clothes after clothes, looking at my reflection with total dissatisfaction.Every single piece of clothe I put on made me look like a beach ball. I tried to wear anything that was loos enough but none of my clothes were fitting my belly.I sighed in frustration before walking over to my duffle bag again. I had bought some maternity clothes while I was living with April but none of them were dinner-party worthy.A frustrated growl escaped my throat before i walked out of the closet and sat down on the bed. Karl walked in to our shared bedroom and looked at me with confusion."What's wrong?" He asked as he walked closer and sat down next to me."I don't think I can go today. I don't have anything to wear." I complained with a pout.Karl chuckled before she gently pinched my cheek."What about the dress you're wearing?" He asked.I looked d
