LOGINTwo weeks had passed gracefully, nothing bad had happened everything was peacefully. Sophia had just reached thirty weeks of pregnancy. According to her doctor,every additional day the baby stayed safely inside gave him a stronger start and anyday can be the day she should always watch out for signs and how her body is reacting to things most especially she should pay close attention to the baby. Damien treated those words like law, he obeyed every single instructions and makes Sophia follows them too. If Sophia stood for too long he advised her to stand up and take a walk or light exercise. He was always beside her. If she yawned…he suggested a nap, if she reached for something on a high shelf, he had already taken it down, infact he assist her even in little things.“You have become impossible”. Sophia said one afternoon as he gently took a grocery bag from her hand.“ It was heavy”. He replied to her.“It had apples”. She said“Heavy apples I believed”. He defended.She laughed .
Three days after she came back from her thirty weeks appointment, Sophia had woken up before dawn the house was still very quiet even the birds had not begun singing,so she lay quietly and she was resting one hand on the curve of her stomach gently lately this had become her favorite part of the day just her and the baby no phones,no disturbance,no meeting,no noise,no wedding planner, no well meaning family members visiting without invitations only silence which she loved so much then she smiled at how peaceful everything was.“ Good morning little one”. She stroked her stomach gently, smiling.Almost on cues a tiny kick answered her“There you are”. She laughed softly.“I was beginning to think you were sleeping”. Another kick, this one stronger and lasted longer than the first kick.“So you're definitely your father's son,you always prove it”. Behind her Damien stirred half asleep, he opened his eyes slowly and saw Sophia he then murmured. “I heard that”. He said slowly, yawni
At thirty four weeks……. both the doctors and Sophia had been expecting their baby at least that was what the doctor wrote in Sophia report file when she visited for her antenatal routine. That means that only a few more weeks remain to finally meet their baby. Sophia was super excited and she was a little tensed too. She can't wait to hold her tiny, beautiful baby for the longest time she had waited and hoped. The realization filled her.“ The baby is growing perfectly his heart beat is strong and he is developing very well, your blood pressure looks good too”. The doctor said to her. The doctor was happy about how her health had improved too.Damien was happy to hear that, he was super excited and relieved at the same time. Hearing this good news sparked joy within him that he released a slow breath which he had held before the doctor gave them the good news, he does this every single time which Sophia had noticed him too during every appointment.“You always look worried whenever w
The baby shower became one of Sophia's favorite memories for days afterwards she found herself smiling whenever she thought about it. The decorations,the laughter,the endless gifts even Javier ridiculous campaign to convince everyone that the baby should be name after him especially that life seemed peaceful maybe a little too peaceful because ay thirty three weeks pregnant, Sophia woke one night to the sound of thunder,the storm outside was fierce,rain battered the window, lightening flashed across the dark sky. For several moments she simply listened then another sensation caught her attention.pain not sharp not over whelming just sent to make her sit upright immediately Sophia frowned her hand moved instinctively to her stomach,the baby shifted a strong kick,then another she took a slow breath everything seemed normal yet something felt different an easy beside her Damien slept peacefully for once she considered waking him the decided against it the man had become so protective la
Sophia had reached thirty two weeks of pregnancy and one thing had become very clear: everyone was obsessed with the baby, literally everyone…… her father, Damien,the staff ,law firm, even clients. Nobody asked how Sophia was anymore, instead every conversation started the same way.“ How is the baby?. Hope the baby is doing well". Nobody is really asking how she was doing. Sophia loved her baby, she truly did. But she was beginning to feel slightly uncomfortable hearing all that and guilty as well but she had to overlook which was why she became suspicious when Damien started acting strange again, very strange. For three consecutive days,he took phone calls in private. He avoids her sometimes,he shortens conversation whenever his phone rings and she begins to have doubt.Three days that was enough to make Sophia suspicious especially after everything they had been through.“You are hiding something”. She confronted him one day.Damien nearly spat his coffee.“What”?. He answered c
Sophia woke up to the aroma of fresh pastries. For a brief moment she was wondering what was happening now she remembered she was engaged again she smiled broadly. She rolled to the other side of the bed and found Damien already awake, he was sitting across the room working on his laptop.“Good morning”. He greeted her, when he saw her immediately. He smiled cheerfully at her.“You're smiling again”. Sophia teased him.“I am engaged”.“So am I”. “Exactly”. He replied, smiling more.“You have become unpredictable”. She replied to him and laughed too.“And yet you are marrying me”.“ Questionable life choices happen”.“You wound me”. He replied, he placed his hand dramatically over his heart.Before Sophia could reply,there was a knock on their bedroom door. A quick three knocks repeatedly. They both froze.“Oh no”. Sophia grumbles“What”?. Damien asked.“That's my father”. She replied, staring at the door.Damien immediately looked concerned.“Why is that concerning”?.Javier Reyes o
“Your Honor. While the evidence presented is serious, she said calmly.“Stop.. enough.” Nadia said standing.The entire room froze.Sophia turned slowly to her their eyes met.“Sit down”. Sophia said under her breath. We are not done”. But Nadia wasn't listening; she didn't even listen to her; her
“I didn't expect it. She corrected.. I know you would. You wanted an heir more than anything… Sophia couldn't give you one. She continued. And then I show up… with a son. Your perfect weakness “.Damien's hand clenched into a fist.“Ethan. What about him?. Is he mine?.”For a moment, just a second.
Then she believed he didn't know and that was her greatest weakness. That night everything was in control as usual.Nadia brought him tea. She is always smiling softly, looking innocent and was carefully watching him.”Drink”. She said,Damien took the cup, held it then without hesitation he dr
Damien refused to believe that his illness was just a minor one. He doubts if his illness was as a result of stress like the Doctor has said. These issues had been on his mind then he decided to take further steps by investigating.He sat behind his desk staring at a document in front of him but hi
