Chapter 60

When we got home, Amy had dinner ready for us. I smiled as soon as I got off the elevator, “Mmm… Roast with potatoes and carrots. Yum. I love comfort food.” Daniel laughed, “Are we becoming food driven?” I laughed, “The babies are causing me to be food driven. They’re turning me into a pig!” He laughed, “You’re not a pig, love. You are feeding three. You’re allowed to be hungry all the time.”We sat at the table and I was happy to see homemade dinner rolls with dinner. Daniel laughed at me as I relished every bite, closing my eyes and moaning at the taste. Daniel laughed, “Should I leave you with some privacy?” I laughed out loud, “Just kidding, babe. It just really tastes good.” He chuckled, “I know it does. I was kidding too.”We were in the middle of dinner when Daniel’s phone pinged with a text. He looked at his phone, “Lacey and Angela are on their way up.” I asked, “Since when do they text you and not me?” He laughed, “Since I was the one who asked them to come over to begin with

Chapter 61

I was sleeping so wonderfully sound when I was shaken awake sooner than I really wanted. I opened my eyes and found Daniel in my face with a worried expression on his face. I asked, “Are you okay? What’s wrong?” Daniel sighed in relief and put one hand over his chest while lightly pushing my hair out of my face, “Babe you scared the shit out of me. I’ve been trying to wake you for the last thirty minutes. You have a doctor appointment in one hour.”I chuckled, “I must have been really tired. I slept so well I didn’t hear anything. I’ll get up and take a quick shower. Would you mind asking Amy to make something portable for me to eat on the way there?” He laughed, “Already done. She made breakfast burritos.” I smiled, “Yum!”I hurried up and took a quick shower, dressed in a cute burgundy sun dress and shoved my feet into a pair of black sandals. By the time I made it downstairs, I asked, “What time is it?” Daniel laughed, “You were done in thirty minutes. We should get going. Victor is

Chapter 62

Victor’s POVMy babies are growing and I can’t be there to say goodnight every night, let them get to know my voice, feel them kick. I fucked up so badly, I know I will never get her back. I don’t even feel like I have a right to ask for those things. When Harley allowed me to put my hand where my babies are, I couldn’t have held back the tears if I’d tried.My brother is more understanding than I would have been to him. That’s probably because of my mother’s influence over me. Daniel has been amazing. He knows how much my babies mean to me and he is supportive of me being in their lives. He scared the shit out of me when he called me at stupid o’clock this morning.FlashbackI was sleeping soundly when my phone rang. I knew it was an emergency because if it’s not, someone has a death wish. I answered on the second ring, “Yeah.” Daniel skipped niceties, “Vic, you need to meet Harley and me at the doctor’s office at seven this morning. She over worked herself yesterday.”I asked, “How c

Harley POVWhen we got home from the doctor, Daniel immediately went to the kitchen and asked, “Amy, can you make a full spread breakfast for six? Dad, Victor, Angela and Lacey are all coming for breakfast. You and Annie should probably eat with us too because we are going to have to discuss an alteration to Harley’s diet.”Amy furrowed her brow, “Is there anything wrong with the babies?” Daniel shook his head, “The babies are good. They’re just taking a lot out of Harley.” Annie walked into the kitchen and only heard Daniel’s last statement. Daniel turned to her and caught her up on their conversation. Annie answered, “We’ll eat with you. I need to know how else I can help Harley.”Amy and Annie worked feverishly on breakfast while Daniel and I went to the parking garage to wait for everyone. When Angela and Lacey walked out of the craft shop, Victor and Theodore were coming from their vehicle. I waved to everyone, “Good morning!”Lacey hugged me tightly, “Jessie is working on somethi

Chapter 64

The first flea market that we went to had enough antique doors and windows to keep us in stock for a while. Victor, Daniel and the extra guys who were helping us loaded them in the box truck. I found several wardrobes and corner cabinets to repurpose into entry seats and storage space for coats and shoes.I also found two mule yokes and one ox yoke. The ox yoke was noticeably larger than the usual yokes I had already worked with. I was anxious to restore all of them and put mirrors in them. I asked Daniel, “Would you mind picking those yokes up for me. Be careful though, they need to be restored before I can put mirrors in them.”Theodore heard what I said and smiled, “So that’s what you were going to do with them.” I nodded, “They always turn out so cool. You’ll see what I mean.” He smiled, “I have no doubt. What else would you like to get?” I shrugged, “I never know until I see it. If you see any old, wooden ladders, I would love to get as many as I can find.”Victor and Theodore sc

Chapter 65

When I finished with Jessie, I went to the front of the store and checked in with the ladies. I walked to the counter and asked Angela, “How’s it going?” She answered, “It’s going great. Those doors and that window were the first two things sold this morning. That was a great idea.” I shrugged, “It’s also something that doesn’t take long to make, so the cost on them is pretty low.”I asked, “Have you done any interviews yet?” She nodded, “I’ve done two, so far. I have another four this afternoon. We can talk about them after closing time.” I smiled, “Awesome. Thank you so much.” She asked, “How are you feeling?” I shrugged, “To be honest, a little weak and dizzy. I almost fell at the last flea market. Victor caught me before I hit the floor.”Angela asked, “Have you told any of the guys yet?” I shook my head, “No. I need to get some light stuff done. Daniel will be with me. I’m not going anywhere else today. I may take a nap after I stage the jewelry shop. I need to know how much more
