Early that morning I donned a dark pair of shades to go with my dark themed casual ensemble. I tried to look as simple as possible. Hannah was deep in sleep so I carefully left the room just so I wouldn't disturb her."Boss." One of the guards gave me a salute as I got outside the house that foggy morning."I'm driving myself today. Make sure my wife is safe. I'll be back in no time." I told him.The drive was a long one. I couldn't believe I was trailing this path again. But I had to do something - anything to keep the people I care about safe. I took deep breaths after the security checked me into the premises. It was early but luckily I had signaled him that I was going to be visiting. His house gave off just how dark he was, same way I had always known it.I went into the meeting room where we usually discussed. He was seated at the head of the table with his back turned to me. "Welcome Zach. Good to see you after such a long time." His raspy voice spoke. I said nothing in respo

It was a breath of a fresh air being able to step out again and freely too. Zach still had a guard follow me everywhere but at least there wasn't tight security all the time.I was out with Mama and Zara, shopping for some baby stuff. Zach wanted us to start working on the nursery and so we began. "Hannah, do you want anything from the food court. Zara's heading there." Mama said. I glanced you from cart filled with several things and realized how hard I had been working and how much food I needed to refuel."Sure. I'll text her my order.""I think you should just go with her. She might get it wrong and then you'll throw a tantrum.""Yeesh. I'm not petty like that." I said in my defense. She made it sound like I was a dramatic pregnant woman. I was so chill - the chilliest pregnant woman there was, so what the heck was she talking about?"Are we going or not?" Zara rolled her eyes irritatedly. I was ready to give her a comeback but Mama stopped me."Go on now." She urged both of us.Z

"I still don't get why you're so mad." Marv was laughing so hard it grated on my nerves."He's way too comfortable with that woman and she's so freaking gorgeous!" I wanted to throw something or punch the wall at this point."Why are you even worried about this?""I mean we're actually beginning to get somewhere and some old time super sexy 'friend' of his, pops into the scenario. Why wouldn't I be worried?" I said, hoisting my pants up in exaggerated anger."I thought you didn't want to be with him." She said.I went quiet for a second. "Well, we haven't decided on that. We'll do that after the baby's born but that doesn't mean I should take any form of disrespect." I blew out a long breath. "Like how could he decide to go out for dinner with her, without me?!"See why I said he'll always be a jackass." She said sourly."Yeah." I sulked."He's not back yet?" "Nope. I don't know how dinner lasts so long." I let out a thoroughly displeased huff and looked at the time once again."Oh d

"What was that cheesy speech for?" James asked me when I saw him the next day."What do you mean cheesy? I was appreciating my wife on our anniversary." I feigned confusion as I flipped through a file."The same one you ignored throughout the first six months of your marriage?" He retorted with a disbelieving scoff."Things change." I shrugged."I know you Zach. Be honest with me, what exactly was that about?" He asked knowing, squinting his eyes like they could scan me through and through."Fine." I chuckled. "She was mad at me and I wanted her to feel some butterflies so she could get over it." I said."So you're saying that it was all a lie?" He asked."Not necessarily." I shrugged again."Zach," he sighed tiredly. "Stop playing with this girl, you've done enough.""I'm not playing with her." I disagreed."You don't love her so stop messing with her head.""I like her enough to want to continue being with her okay?" There, I said it. I liked her, sort of."Doesn't look like she fee

Picking out color schemes could be very difficult at times but because I was stubborn I did not let Zach hire a professional to help us set up the nursery. I wanted to do it myself. It was a way to keep me busy and it was a good way to start preparing myself for the journey of motherhood. If this was a way to help me fall in love with my pregnancy, then I was down for it.I crouched down on the floor, visibly exhausted after standing over a pile of magazines filled with decor ideas placed on what I'd call my work desk."Come in Malia!" I said when I heard the knock on the door."Malia's still fixing your drink."My eyes snapped up at the sound of a voice I hadn't heard for quite a while. "Zara?" "Surprised to see me?""Of course I am. You've never come up here." I made to get on my feet."Don't worry about it," she stopped me with a wave of her hands. I sat back down questioning with my eyes what she had come to do."I'm just here to give you these. They're for Zach." She said, appa
