Maeve“Have I told you how adorable you are?”I asked him and touched his face. I suddenly didn’t feel sleepy anymore.“Don’t be nervous, baby, they won’t hurt you. I will protect you.”I assured him.“That should be my job. I should be the one protecting you.”I smiled.“Right. You should protect me from your mother.”I told him.“You can handle my mother.”“And you can handle my brothers. They are literally your friends.”I know they drank together a lot when I wasn’t talking to them.“That doesn’t make me any less nervous, Eve. I think I am a weak man.”I laughed at his words and touched his nose.“You are not a weak man, Alessandro. You are the strongest man I know.”I assured him.“You are such a sweetheart.”I smiled.“Kiss me?”I requested, and he leaned forward to do as I asked, but I suddenly felt nauseous again and pulled away.“I think I am going to throw up.”I let out, and he stood up from my bed immediately and reached for the container that was kept near me just in case

Maeve“I can’t believe that I am spending the days leading to my thirtieth birthday at the hospital.”I complained to Andro, who must be tired of hearing me complain every day for the past two days.Two whole days at the hospital and I am ready to go home, but I can’t leave yet until my recent test report comes in.I have tried my best not to think about the test report since they came to collect my blood sample this morning.I can’t lie that I am really scared. The past two days haven’t really been the best for me, but I wasn’t doing really badly either.The morning sickness has gone really bad, and even the medications are not working anymore.I wake up in the morning, and I know that I will be sick no matter what, but I take that as a good sign. It only happens in the morning now, so for the rest of the day, I feel better.My parents cut their trip short and came by yesterday, so I had people with me all through the day.Today was different. I was alone for most of the day becaus

Maeve“You came earlier than scheduled.”I said after greeting the doctor, and she smiled.“Yes, I wasn’t busy, and your result was ready, so I decided to bring the news as soon as possible.”I would have felt relieved because of her words and how calm her voice was, but that’s her normal voice.She has such a calm and collected voice that it doesn’t give anything away.“Is it good news?”I asked and held my breath.“Yes.”I sighed deeply in relief and looked at Andro, who looked like he had also just let out a deep sigh of relief.“We did the retest, and your hCG level increased significantly… I told you before that it’s basically called a pregnancy hormone. If there had been a decline, it would have been alarming, but there was a steady increase, which means you are pregnant and your pregnancy is going very well.”I couldn’t stop smiling.All the fears I had vanished. All the nightmares I have had for two nights suddenly felt insignificant.“Thank you so much, doctor. Thank you.”I

AlessandroI couldn’t stop smiling while watching my mom and my woman talk.For the first time, they weren’t bantering. They were talking smoothly, and my mom was being polite.The near-death experience not only changed Nadia’s mind about our mother, but it also changed our mother in a lot of ways, and I hope the change is permanent.She is still very hostile, but not as bad as before.I didn’t even expect her to ask Maeve about the baby.I told her about the baby when she asked me why my woman was being admitted too, and she didn’t give away any emotions, but seeing her with Maeve and seeing how much she wanted to be a part of our baby’s life already, I felt relieved.I felt like all those years I held on to my love for her, despite everything, didn’t go to waste.It wasn’t easy to stay in touch with her all those years, but I am glad that I didn’t give up, and I won’t give up on her.I don’t give up on people unless they are really a lost cause.I didn’t give up on Marian, and she i

Alessandro “Isn’t it almost time for your meeting with Janelle?” I sat up immediately, which made Maeve laugh. I actually forgot that I was supposed to be meeting with Janelle. I am the one who asked for us to meet and it was a really important meeting. I can’t believe I almost forgot. “Don’t tell me you forgot.” I stopped to look at her while trying to pull my trousers up. “Whose fault is it?” I let out playfully. “Your fault, you are the one who isn’t able to keep his hands to himself around me because I am so gorgeous.” I smiled at her. “Nailed it!” I said and fixed my shirt. “Will you be okay on your own? I will be gone for at least two hours.” Maybe I should just call Janelle and cancel. I don’t want to leave Maeve on her own. “I am a grown ass woman. Trust me, I can survive on my own for two hours and even more.” I didn’t miss the sarcasm in her words. “I know you are grown.” “Just go. I will be fine.” She assured me and stretched her ar

Maeve I woke up the morning of my thirtieth birthday in a really good mood. The days leading to my birthday were so cool with my sister-in-laws filling me in on all the things that they have done and Nadia coming to me with five different gorgeous dresses to choose from. Not to mention being surrounded by so many people I love who also love me very much. I had a lot of dreams about what my life would be at thirty and I would like to say, it turned out better than I ever imagined. I found my family, found myself, and most especially, I found my person. Someone who loves me so deeply and who I know will be in my life forever. We are having a baby too. The morning sickness was still there but I am slowly getting used to it and I know it won’t last forever. The joy of being pregnant made it easy for me to deal with the stress related to it. Honestly, I can’t even call it stress because it’s so temporary and goes away super fast. I yawned and stretched happily knowing t

Maeve “You remembered.” Charles said when they finished singing and I nodded. “I don’t know how I remembered but I know you made the song.” I told him and his eyes widened. “I did! I made it for you. Back then, my dream had been to be a singer and I wrote a lot of songs. This one was specially made for you.” He explained. “Thank you.” I told him and the rest of them. “Make a wish and blow your cake.” Theo said and I did just that. Unlike the girls, the boys didn’t notice the ring and they hugged me after I blew out the candle. “So, what were you guys screaming about?” Xander asked and his wife smacked. “You guys are so blind! You are all blind and I don’t even know why we married you!” Nadia let out and the other women agreed while the men stared at me in confusion, “She is wearing a nightie and a gorgeous diamond ring on her finger, are you blind?” Melody let out when she couldn’t take the ignorance of the men anymore and I laughed when they finally re

Maeve I have to say that it felt really emotional meeting my grandmother for the first time as a thirty-year-old and having no memories of her at all. “Gianni,” I was confused by the name she called as she reached for me and I made up my mind that she must have called me the wrong name because of how old she was. She looked really old and fragile but had such a strong grip when she hugged me. For more than a minute, she refused to let me go and I didn’t try to pull away either. “My Gianni.” She called me the name again and that’s why when she finally pulled away, I looked at my mother and she smiled. “Gianni is the name your grandfather gave you when you were born.” My mother explained and I turned to my grandmother who was all smiles. “He loved you so much. We all loved you and it had been devastating for us when we lost you.” She told me and I could feel the pain in her words. Now, I wish I had gone to her sooner. She must have been so emotional when she found

Maeve“We will leave you to talk to your friends, after which we have to leave.”I nodded at Nadia, who led the other women out of the room.“Damn, girl, you look gorgeous. Happy birthday.”I glared at Maverick just because I told him I would when I see him in person again.“Baby, I promise, I was going to tell you before letting it happen, but I—““Shut the fuck up, Ricky! The only thing I want to hear is that you both plan to get married because I would kill both of you if you break up and make me a child of divorce.”I borrowed the words Andro had used not long ago, and they both laughed.“We are not going to make you a child of divorce, darling, and we don’t plan on ruining our friendship either. It’s for real. We are for real.”I gasped in shock when Nora waved her finger in my face, and I saw the engagement ring.“You guys are getting married?”I let out in excitement.“Yes, we are. As soon as I get that degree, which isn’t long anymore.”Ricky told me happily.“I can’t believe

AlessandroI got into the limo smiling until I saw the tears in her eyes, and my heart skipped a beat thinking something had happened.“What is it, baby? Did something happen?”I asked and pulled closer to her. She shook her head but didn’t say a word and just sobbed into my arms.“It’s okay. I am here. I love you, and we are going to be just fine.”I told her even though I had no idea what was wrong. She continued sobbing, and hearing her cry broke my heart.“Damn hormones.”She finally let out, and I couldn’t help but feel relieved.She already warned me that her hormones are going to be all over the place, and I got a good lecture from my sister and her brothers’ wives, but nothing prepared me for seeing the woman I love so much crying and not being able to do anything.“I am sorry that I cried all over your tuxedo.”She said and pulled away. I shook my head.“That’s okay. Don’t ever apologize, baby.”I told her.“Nothing happened. I mean, I love did happen, but only happy things,
