Chapter 0159 This has been one of my biggest worry. I donât want my child to view me in a negative way. I could tell them the truth, but that would mean making his or her dad seem like a F***ing sicko.
Mom stands up and comes to sit next to me. She pulls me into her arms and hugs me close. I feel my eyes start to fill with tears.
Damn hormones.
Itâs okay baby, donât worry about it. We still love you and we will love the baby.â Dad adds, joining us.
We stay in each otherâs embrace for a while before separating.
âAnother grandbaby. This is so awesome. I better start shoppingâ mom says excitedly, her face transforming with the smile that takes over.
che was literally jumping up and down like a school girl.
âHow many people can brag that theyâre grandmas at forty three? I am a young and chick grandmother and I still energetic enough to run around with my grandkidsâ
Dad and I laugh in amusement as mom twirls around in my living room like a ballerina. Standing up, dad pulls her into his arms and k*sses her. He then spins her as mom laughs in joy.
I smile at them. This is the kind of marriage Iâd wanted. The kind of love Iâd craved for. I feel a pang in my heart, but I donât let it bother me. Iâd already let go of those fantasies. Iâd accepted that their kind of love wasnât in the cards for me.
After that, they stay a little before they leave. I felt like a burden had been lifted from my shoulders. My biggest fear had been that they would reject my child. Seeing how in the end they were excited to have an additional grandchild eased something inside me.
Soon Noah arrives and I get busy helping him with homework and making him snacks. I like being organized, so I sort his uniform for the next day and everything he would need.
I had just finished when there was a knock on my door. Dragging my feet, I leave Noahâs room and go to open the door.
âAva Sharp?â the delivery man asks.
Damn it. I need to change my last name. The Sharpâs name no longer belonged to me.
Yest have a delivery for you I roll my eyes. I donât get why they always have to say that. I mean, I already can tell youâre here to deliver something. Itâs obvious.
âI didnât order anythingâ I tell him.
âNot my problemâ
Rude. Maybe he saw me rolling my eyes at him. Before I can say anything, he shoves the box into my hand and walks away.
I watch his back in shock. Memorizing the name of the company he worked for. I didnât order anything.
but I sure was going to give them a one star rating and a scathing review.
Taking the box inside the house, I close the door and head to the living room.
âWhatâs that?â Noah asks, eyeing the package.
1 donât knowâ
I debate whether I should open it or not. There is still danger looming around from the reapers. What if it was a bomb or something?
I donât get a chance to debate too much on it because Noah jumps up, takes the box and tears it open.
âNoah!â I shout. My heart in my throat.
If it had been a bomb we would have been blown into pieces. Didnât he have a sense of safety?
âYou do not open packages that you donât know anything about!â I snap at him, trying to calm my erratic beating heart.
He just shrugs his shoulder. âI was curious, so I opened itâ
He looks inside and his face turns into distaste. âI thought there would be something cool, but itâs nothing but a bunch of dressesâ
Wait what?
1 take the box from him and check inside. I remove each one of the piece of clothes. Slowly realizing that each piece is one from the mom and baby shop. They were all the clothes I had tried and liked. The ones that Iâd wanted to buy before shit happened with Rowan.
How the hell. I stop the thought as realization sinks in. Rowan. The bastard must have bought them.
nice dresses mommy. Youâll look beautiful in themâ Noah says, just as the thought of buning them crosses my mind.
