It's been four months now since i found out I was pregnant and I still don't know the sex's of the babies, my babies, I sigh.
Being six months pregnant and having the babies growing so rapidly inside my womb is really something, I get tired so easily and I have passed out twice now and when I went to the hospital and complained about the fainting the doctor said it was no big deal that my babies are just bigger than most babies that is why I look eight months pregnant instead of six.
Getting into my car I make my way back to work, it's been so long since I left home and my own mother won't even call me, oh well it is alright, she does not know the whole truth and still does not want to believe me, the only people who know that I am currently in Italy are my brother and my best friend, I always thank God that I have such loving people in my life. Getting to my work place I sigh for the last time, trying to not get my past missed up with my present and I and my kids future, stepping into the lobby I head for the elevator.
'ding' the sound of the elevator brings me back to earth, as I walk in my co-worker Miranda hooks her hand in mine from behind scaring me a bit, "oh my goodness" I jump hitting her shoulder and she burst out laughing, "hahaha I'm sorry, I'm sorry, i didn't mean to frighten you" " it's fine let's just go up" I say as we walk in together. When I first came to this company to work I realized most people didn't like me but Miranda was different she always has my back.
After work we decided to get dinner together but she insists we go eat at her place, I have only ever been there once when I went to pick her up, it's a beautiful place and by place I mean a mansion, with flowers everywhere, she said her mother planted them before she traveled with her father abroad and the workers have been caring for them. One reason I like her, she might be from a wealthy family but she is just like me humble and I love that about her although she knows I'm pregnant she keeps setting me up with guys to date because she said her brother likes me and she is trying to make him jealous Which I don't get, I mean he is handsome but anyways we head to her house and the food was already made and I smile at her " I wish I could live here" I joke " haha, and I know you are saying this because of the food" she says, "Ah, you know me too well" I reply and we laugh, " where is my brother?" She asks one of the workers in the house, " He just got back and he is up stairs, he will down shortly" she tells her " okay we will wait for him", " huh... Mira!!! Do you have any idea what is going on inside my stomach at the moment plus my Uterus is kinda jumpy" I whine " Mira why won't you let her eat" Mike's voice comes from behind me, I turn slightly to see him walk past me as he pats my back and my breath hitch at my throat " hi Ave" he greets " hi Mike" I reply trying not to look at his gorgeous face, yes I know I'm pregnant and it might probably be the pregnancy hormones but the man is gorgeous you can't blame me for feeling the way I do, Mira keeps saying he likes me but I think he only takes care of me because I am his sister's friend and he sees me like a younger sister and now that my pregnancy bulge is really bulging at six months ohh everyone can tell how much preggy I pregnant, including him.
" stop holding her back when she wants to eat, as you know she is eating for two," he says. At that moment I simply wanted to burry myself, I knew I was pregnant he didn't have to say it again but anyways, " thank you Mike" I say looking up at him with a small smile gracing my lips.
Once dinner was over I went out to the garden for that cool evening breeze, a couple of minutes later a hand on my shoulder brings me out of my thoughts, " oh thank you" I say, it was Mike putting a blanket on my shoulders, " the weather is a little chilly isn't it?" he says, " yeah it is, thanks for the blanket" I say, what are you doing outside in the cold?" he asks with concern lased in his voice and face as he spoke to me. " I just wanted to stay outside for a bit and enjoy the cool breeze" I tell him, " let's sit down" he says as he points towards the wooden garden chair.
Sighing he turns to me and says " Avery, I want you to feel welcome whenever you come over" he says " but I do" I say back, holding my hand in his, he says " are you sure" " yes I am, very very sure" I say with a smile. Sighing he says " okay, let's head back in, you're staying over tonight right?" He asks and I just simply nod my head.
Heading back into the house mira takes me to the room I will be spending the night in and she gets me a change of clothes, body wash and sponge for the night, since I would not be going to work tomorrow I could finally sleep in. I'm the room there is a wardrobe, a dresser and a door leading to the bathroom, entering the bathroom it has a bath tub, I seal the drain and fill it with cold water, I seem to enjoy cold bathing water lately, no matter how cold I am during the day, when ever I tried having my bath with hot water, it becomes unbearable. Striping out of my clothes and enter the tub since it was half full, with my small frame it can easily cover me.
After my bath and change of clothes, I lay on the bed tossing and turning before I finally sleep.
The room is dark but the moon light shines brightly through the window, a man sitting on the chair by the dresser scare me up,Deep glowing eyes stare at me, it feels familiar but scary at the same time, " you have become skinny" the owner of the glowing eyes say to me.
