Saturday mornings are my favorite, because I basically do nothing at all. Most of the time I go to the spa to relax.
Sometimes Flynn and I go to my parents retort beach to spend the weekend.
But today is not one of those days. Today I am going to learn how to cook.
I have always wanted to be one those pretty girls who cook for their husbands and bring them homemade lunch at work.
My mom is an example of those women,I think it is part of the reasons my dad loves her so much.
I didn't learn how to cook because I was invested in my education and didn't want to miss out on my teenage years.
That is why today I asked Erica to be my teacher. Her meals are pretty good and she was willing to teach me.
Well I bribed her with this new Chanel bag she has been wanting for ages and it was completely sold out.
"Okay so today we are going to start with some basic break fast. Scrambled eggs and sausage with bacon. Plus pancakes" she says showing me her ingredients.
Flynn is out with his friends and Grayson is also visiting his family so basically the house is ours.
"Okay chef, what do I do first"I asked
"Okay first we are going to mix the pancake ingredients together which is very simple " she says and goes on to demonstrate it to me.
Since I was fast learner,I caught pretty fast. The pancake went pretty well but I can't say same for the others.
I nearly burnt the kitchen from frying the bacon and eggs were salty in addition to the bacon that actually got burnt. Don't get me started on the sausage.
"You are really a hopeless case" Erica says staring at the food in horror.
"At least I tried " I say and she glares at me.
"I'll just order some pizza for breakfast because I don't have the energy to prepare a new one" she says before signaling one of the helps to come and clean the mess.
We both went to our rooms and took a shower. I came back down stairs some minutes later to see Erica already eating and watching movie.
"How did you get down so fast" I asked as I take my seat next to her and dug in, taking a slice of pizza and bottle of cranberry juice.
" I don't spend hours looking for what to wear" she rolls her eyes at me and I hit her.
We chuckle and continued to watch the movie.
30 minutes into the movie the door opens and I look up to see it was Grayson and two other people. Tiny little girls.
His children!
The resemblance is too much,with just one look you will know they belong to him.
The taller one who I presume is the eldest has amber eyes but blonde hair and the other one has blue eyes and brown hair. But their facial features is that of their father's.
Erica and I were immediately on our feet and we walked towards them with beaming smiles.
"Hiii... Oh my God you guys are so pretty"I say in a happy tone to the children. I really love kids,I'm obsessed with them.
"Thank you" they adorably say in unison and my smile grew wider.
The little one hid behind her dad probably shy and I stood up still smiling.
Why did Grayson bring them here.
" I'm sorry for bringing them here unannounced but my wife is going to the hospital today and I have to go with her but there is no one to take care of them so I decided to bring them here and _"he tries to explain but I stopped him.
"Oh it is fine. Erica and I are happy to take care of them . Just go and attend to your wife. But I hope she is okay?" I asked concerned.
"Yes,she is fine just some minor sickness. Thank you so much for this" he says and then turns to his children.
"This is Auntie Jane and Erica. Please be on your best behavior. I love you guys. See you in a bit" he says kissing them on their foreheads.
"Okay dad. We love you too" they both say at the same time.
Grayson leaves immediately after telling them to behave one last time.
" Come on let's go and have a seat. Do you girls want pizza?" I asked with a smile and they both nodded.
I noticed how shy and timid they were and I smiled. They're too adorable and cute.
They sat on the other sofa as Erica brought them some orange juice and pizza.
They sat closed to each other and the eldest will always wipe the sister's mouth after every bit. She is so caring.
"So what are your names honey?" I asked the eldest
"My name is Annalise Louisa Dolan and my sister is Piper Jessica Dolan" she says proudly.
"Oh such nice names for pretty young girls like you" Erica gushes.
"Are you the good woman who paid our fees. My dad's boss" Annalise asks and I nod.
"Oh..then thank you for helping my family " she says again and I was short of words.
After they ate,we went to the pool area and had our own small girls pool party.
The kids were so fun playing with.
By the time Grayson came back,they had taken their bath and changed their clothes, wearing some the dress we brought during our shopping spree an hour ago.
Piper was already asleep so Grayson had to carry her out.
"Thank you so Mrs. Halan,I'm grateful" he says for the 100th time tonight.
"It was nothing at all, your kids are amazing"I tell him.
"Bye Auntie Jane and thank you for the presents" Annalise says from the back seat of the car before it drove off.
I hope to have my kids one day.
The weeks that went by has been pretty boring,just doing the same thing over and over again. Wake up in the morning,eat,go to work, come back home and have sex.But lately I haven't really been feeling okay. I'm dull, moody and have fever like everyday.I have noticed my period has also been late but I don't want to get excited because it might not be what I am thinking.I have been keeping this to myself but I think Erica has noticed, that is why she bought me a pregnancy test yesterday. I haven't taken it because I am afraid of the outcome. I don't want to be disappointed,so I have asked Erica to help me with it.She is now making some sandwiches for Grayson and I.Speaking of Grayson, we have gotten along pretty well. His kids are here pretty often now a days. We have bonded alot and they seem to speak highly of their mom. I wish to meet her one day,I like Piper alot,she is more care free but Annalise is more reserved and quiet. She acts like the overprotective big sister, scoldin
Two and half months laterThey say every first trimester of pregnancy is the worse and they weren't lying. I am now 13 weeks pregnant and my bump is already starting to show.Things have not been easy at all,from morning sickness to staying awake all night. I'm so greatful for him being around all through it.He has been amazing ever since he found out I was pregnant. I remember that night like it was yesterday. I remember how he cried like a baby.Flash backErica has finished wrapping the gift box I bought from the mall.After seeing the doctor,Erica and I went to the mall and bought those onesie's that has those 'Hi Daddy ' inscription on it.I placed it in the box,along side my pregnancy test and blood test from the hospital.Today,Flynn arrived early from work,well I asked him to.I was pacing back and forth in my room when he arrived. I was nervous as hell. "Hey,good evening" he says kissing my cheek. He went and placed his brief case on the night and started losing his tie."G
I am pacing back and forth in the leaving room angrily."Calm down Anne,you are stressing and you know that is not good for the baby. Think of him or her" Erica reasons."How can I be calm after seeing that headline. He is cheating on me with another woman and you tell me to calm down. I'm pregnant with his child for crying out loud"I exclaim"Like you said you are pregnant. You suffered for this baby,do not let anyone take it away from you. Calm down, beside we don't know if this is true or not. This is the internet for pete's sake anyone can write lies for more views " Erica exclaim before leading me to sit down."He better have a good explanation for this"I say still angry."Just relax, okay and think of the baby. Now come and sit and watch a movie,I made Oreo cheesecake cake with strawberry smoothie, your favorite "Erica says wiggling her eyebrows"You just know how to bribe me"I groan and then pout.She arranges the pillow on the couch for me and I sat down .
I feel a tap on my shoulder and someone softly whispering my name.I groan but still didn't open my eyes hoping the person will eventually go away but no.The taping still continued and I had no choice but to open my eyes.When I did open my eyes, Erica's face came to view,she was holding a sweeping broom and dust collector.I sat up slowly because my side hurt ,"Did you sleep here the entire night" she asks concerned,I only nod my head and let out a sigh."Can you please bring me some water" I asked softly and she nods politely.Some few seconds later,she came back with the water and gave it to me. She turned around to leave but I stopped her."Eri, wait! Look I'm sorry for yelling at you and blaming you for my marital problems. I took the wrong approach and I am sorry. Please forgive me" I pleadShe was quiet for a while,I think contemplating on the answer she'll give me."Please. Forgive me. You are like my sister and sisters forgive each other " I pursued her"Okay fine. But onl
"What!" Erica and I say in unison."Yeah,that was the same reaction I got a year ago. She has been battling with Leukemia for a while. She was on chemo for a while until we run low on money and she had to get off. That is why the day of the interview,I pleaded for the job. She had to get on chemo before the surgery. She was doing well until she relapsed yesterday. We actually just got home from the hospital just an hour ago,"he says."Oh Grayson,why didn't say anything from the beginning,I could have helped you. I am responsible for you " I tell him." You have done so much for me,with my children's scholarship and my pay,I didn't want to be a burden on you" he explains"You are not a burden, what is the use of the money if I don't help others with it. I am going to call my doctor,he will recommend us to the best oncologist in the state " I tell him."Oh please I don't want to be a bother" he protests"I'm calling him and you can't stop me" I tell him."When she puts her mind to some
I feel something covering me up,the thing feels warm and cozy. I slowly opened my eyes to see I'm not in my house,I was about to panic when realization struck me,I'm in Grayson's home.I didn't realize I fell asleep,the Chinese must have hit a nerve.I slowly opened my eyes to see Grayson smiling at me."Hey" I whisper"Hey" he whispers back,and we stared at each, lost in our grazes.He then clears his throat and balanced the tray on the night stand. That is when I realized I was on a bed."What says the time?" I asked because I wasn't wearing my watch anymore."It is almost midnight. You fell asleep on the couch and I thought it might be uncomfortable for you giving your situation. I also brought some chocolate cake and milk " he says and I looked at him confused."Erica" we both say in unison and chuckle."She called saying the kids will be staying the night,so I should let you sleep and she'll bring you a change over tomorrow morning" he explains and I nod."Also your husband calle
I woke up alone on the bed and I smiled to myself,this is the best sleep I have had in my entire years of existence.I got out from the bed and went downstairs to the kitchen because I figured Grayson would be around.I was surprised to see Erica and girls already there, but there was an awkward tension in the room, especially since Annalise has been glaring at me ever since I entered the room.Erica served me the breakfast she brought from home,just the way I like it.I was in the middle of eating when my phone rang,I check the caller ID to see it was my lovely husband.I excused myself to answer the call."Oh thank God Jane. I thought something happened to you,you've not been picking up my calls and you weren't home or at your dad's place. Fuck! Where are you?"he rambles on and I sigh."You don't have to worry about me,I'm fine. I'll be home later today. I'm at Grayson's house" I tell him"What! Why the fuck would you be at our chauffeur's home!"he yells through the phone."Don't f
Grayson's P.O.VMy wife and I are anxiously sitting in the doctor's office waiting for her MRI scan report. Anxiety is taking the best of me."Hey my love ,calm down,everything will be fine okay" she smiles. This is part of the many reasons why I love her. She is always positive in tense situations.The door opens and Dr. Banks walks in before I could say anything."Good morning Mr.&Mrs Dolan " she says as she takes her seat Infront of us."Good morning doctor. Thank you for having us " my wife says softly"No problem. Okay I have your MRI results and to be honest I don't know what to say"she sighsMy heart races faster than usual,my anxiety is at a next level."What.. what.."I stutter,I am visibly shaking."Calm down Mr. Dolan,her case isn't the end. There are still other options" she explains further"Doctor, what is wrong with me"Bryanna asks softly but I know she is just as anxious as I am."I'm going to be honest and straight forward. Your Leukemia is rare, acute leukemia, even a
