Chapter 0142

Today was a chilled day. I didn’t have much to do. Noah was already at school, and I was

here at home

just relaxing.

After my mental breakdown, I decided to take some much needed break from work. My

students weren’t happy about it, but they understood that I hadn’t been myself the last

couple of weeks.

I planned to resume after I give birth. My focus now was my kids and the Hope Foundation.

I’m still trying to come to terms with all that happened these past few weeks. Including

everyone’s

change in behaviour.

The only one who seemed to be consistent with her hateful personality was Emma. The

rest seem to

have had an overnight change of heart.

Instead of focusing on those thoughts. I push them away and pick up my phone and dial

mom’s number.

She picks up on the first ring.

“Hey mom” I greet her, I wasn’t completely used to calling her that, but I was slowly

getting there.

“Aval” She screams through the phone, always excited to hear from me. “Theo, my love,

daughter is on the phone“.

I hear shuffling before a sort of echo fills the phone. I just know that she’s put me on

loudspeaker.

“Hey dad” I greet him too.

Their love honestly fascinated me. They were together since they were thirteen and

years down the line. More than thirty–five years later.

If I was still chasing after love, then their kind of love is what I would have been looking

for. Instead, I’ve accepted that love is just not for me. I’m now set and prepared to spend

the rest of my life alone.

Hey darling, how are you doing?”

I’m doing good. Not much going on. I just wanted to check up on you guys“,

till haven’t told them that I am pregnant.

Even though I’m starting to show, It’s easy for me to hide my bump with oversized t–

shirts. I just didn’t know how to tell them given that Ethan was still refusing their visits.

As for Ethan. What he’s doing to them is wrong, but I also understand where he is coming

from.

He feels ashamed. He feels like he doesn’t deserve their love after what he did. He was

hiding from them because he felt like he didn’t deserve their kindness.

I sent him the picture of my recent ultrasound. He wrote back and told me he was

thankful. He couldn’t stop saying how he was dying to meet his baby. He was also okay

with waiting till the day I deliver to

know the gender of our baby.

“Ava?” Mom calls, pulling me back to the present.

“Sorry. I zoned out a bit” I murmur embarrassed.

“It’s okay darling. I just wanted to know if you’ll be coming this weekend like we had

talked about

“Yes, though Noah won’t be joining us this time. It’s his weekend with his father so it’ll just

be me and your

guys“.

The Woods and the Sharp family used to have a monthly get together. I wasn’t always

invited.

When I did get an invitation which was rare, I was treated like I didn’t exist. Like I didn’t

matter. I wast

completely ignored and was treated like a pariah.

The only one who used to talk to me during the gatherings was Noah. Most of the time, I

ended up

leaving early or crying in the bathroom.

There hasn’t been a get together in months. I guess now that the parents are back, they

were back to

having them.

“It’s a bummer that he won’t come but I am still happy that you’ll make it” dad says.

I was about to say something, but something takes my focus away. I hear a bark then a

scratch. At first, I think I’m imagining things since there aren’t any dogs in the area. That

is until I hear it again.

“Let me call you guys back, dad, I have to check on something” I tell him distractedly.

He looks chastised. Laying on the ground, giving me puppy eyes, but I wasn’t going to buy

it.

“I wanted organic food, that’s why I started the damn garden in the first place and let me

tell you, it took a lot of time and effort.” He whines, but I am too far gone to listen to him.

“Oh no, no, no. You’re not going to get out of this by flashing your cute, adorable eyes.”

Shaking my head I stare at him. Atleast I assume it’s a he. “How are you going to make up

for the damage, huh?”

The more i stare at him, the more my heart begins to melt. He is big, fluffy and completely

adorable. Hel had thick black and white far and piercing grey eyes. For some weird reason

they reminded me of Rowan

and Noah’s grey eyes.
