HELENA'S POVI managed to stay calm. With Bella by my side, I was sure I would be strong through the process. She held baby Zahir while I paced the private room back and forth waiting for the doctors to come with feedback or something we can hold as the sole cause of this sudden illness. We've been in the hospital for about forty-five minutes. Alex showed up just in time. I was holding my little boy's hand when he pushed the door softly and peered his head into the room. He searched it to be sure he was in the right room before coming in. I took in a deep breath of relief and walked over to him. I buried my head in his chest as he hugged me. His cologne, a scent I was already used to replenishing my nostrils left me with a sense of protection and hope. I was more than happy he had shown up even though the results of the numerous tests would be available.Thank God you're here". I told him. He quickly ran his hands on my shoulder and kissed my head."I ran here as soon as a store call

HELENA'S POVI slept off on Alexander's chest. This has got to be the most horrible night of my life. I was exhausted by the time the sun hit my face from the window. Baby Zahir was awake too. He gave me a welcome smile. I pinched his little cheeks softly and then I suddenly remembered that we had spent the night at the hospital. Alex was awake all through. I was sure he was finally swept off by sleep at the very nearly hours of the morning after being a strong watch to me and the kids. On this part, I was vulnerable and soft. I could barely take good care of myself and talk more about adding extra humans to my list. My hair was a mess. Erect like grasses of the field the strands stood. "Good morning my love," Alex said and kissed me on the cheek. "Good morning baby" I kissed back. Then I realized I had been sitting on his lap for a long time. I got up and proceeded to check Zayn a bit. To my greatest surprise, the young man was fully awake. He has changed mine for today I don't k

HELENA'S POVTwo weeks later I had suddenly become friends with my best friend's girlfriend Cherry. Cherry would be the sister I never had. She did everything with professionalism and the fact that she would be my best friend's wife in a few months makes me want to draw her to me forever. We've had a few dinners at home together and she has always helped with picking out the best decor and designs we would use for my big day. I have known her only a few weeks but I must say that she is truly an angel. Gabriel needed a woman like her around him. She is so re-spirited and loving that I wished she was my friend from the very beginning. She sure knows her job and does it with so much enthusiasm. "With the way you vibe so much with your event planner, one would think you too have been friends from Genesis" Alex had told me on one of the days I was so excited talking about how good she is with her job and how I couldn't wait to see all she was going to do at the wedding. I envisioned the d

HELENA'S POVI woke up to our wedding pictures flying all over the internet. I was happy my name was mentioned. My father's name. Has now been known in the town and beyond. I felt the sudden surge of wanting to be more influential. I managed to creep myself out of bed. I was not going anywhere today. The several hours of standing and dancing on a yacht in the middle of the sea were now telling me badly. My entire feet hurt the moment I woke up.I searched around the bed and didn't find Alex. We had agreed to leave the boys with Bella so Alex and I could have some time to ourselves. Just as I was about to go into the bathroom to check for h I heard soft sullen music.Orchestras Singing:Someone to kissSomeone to missWhen you're awayTo hear from each dayTo be loved to be loved (to be loved)Oh what a feelingTo be lovedSome wish to be a king or a queenSome wish for fortune and fameBut to be truly truly truly lovedIs more than all of these thingsSomeone to kissSomeone to miss

ALEXANDER'S POVMy eyes shot open at 6:00am as usual. I didnt have to look at the clock to know if it's 6:00am. I've always had the urge to wake up once its 6am and it has always been accurate. I took the duvet off me, slide out of my bed and began my daily routine beside my bed. My pillows perfectly alligned and carefully laid on the bed, shelfs pulled, tight ,and my duvet folded just right. I nodded to myself when i saw the finished outcome. I walked over to my bathroom for the next chapter of my morning routine, it was a ritual i never missed; i brushed my teeth, washed my face and showered. I grabbed the outfit i put together last night and got dressed in it. My hair and makeup are always the last on my list as i do not want any colours or powders spilling on my dress. I wore my dress shortly after and took my time to do my makeup so it's out finely each time. I nodded at the superb job and examine it on the mirror dresser. I finished my look with a high ponytail, and heels whic
