To Hate My Stepbrother

Ava’s POV

SOME MONTHS LATER.

“Mason!” I yelled from the kitchen, I’d completely forgotten that it’s my due date today and my water just broke.

The pain I felt from my back down to my uterus was unmatched and just at that point everything seemed irritating to me.

I heard Mason’s footsteps coming down the stairs and the fact that he couldn’t have gotten to me faster annoyed everything out of me.

“Oh my god!” He screamed in horror when he saw how wet the floor was, “Your water broke? What should I do?” He asked like he didn’t know that the next thing was to get to a hospital.

I opened my mouth to speak but everything I wanted to say got caught up in my throat when the sharp pain came again and I clawed on Mason’s hand.

Finding a way to release himself from my gasp, I watched as he ran out to get help from Nicole. I never thought the day where my best friend would be annöying would come.

“Get your filthy hands off me!” I cried when Nicole touched me and I immediately regretted it because I had no idea why I’m so touchy but I was glad she understood.

“I’m sorry, I don’t know what’s wrong with me.” I cried as Nicole helped me while Mason went to get the bags and the car keys.

We soon got to the car and Mason drove as fast as he could to the hospital while I wailed in the backseat because of the pain shooting through my veins.

The doctors rushed me to the labor room and I demanded that Mason stay with me or I wouldn’t be able to push the baby out. I could see the fear written all over his face but I was glad that he went through with it.

“Push one last time, you can do it.” The doctor encouraged me and I felt as though life had drained out of me but with Mason holding my hand I summoned all of my strength to push.

My vision became blurry and the sound of the cries was the last thing I heard before I got wrapped up in darkness.

Groaning, I opened my eyes to see Nicole with her bulging belly and she was grinning from ear to ear, I turned to see Mason still holding my hand.

“Where’s my baby?” I asked when I looked around and didn’t get the sight of cribs or anything.

“You mean babies.” The familiar voice of the nurse came and I turned to see her holding two bundles of joy. My happiness knew no bounds and I had no idea that I was already crying until I tasted my own tears.

“They’re so beautiful.” I sniffled when they were handed to me before planting kisses on both their foreheads.

TWO YEARS LATER.NôvelDrama.Org owns this.

Things have been moving fast and I really can’t believe that I’m a mother to e healthy twins. I had a boy and a girl and true to my promise the boy was named after Khalid while the girl was named Callum, my mum’s middle name.

Nicole had also given birth to a baby boy one month after I had my twins, she named him Nathan and I couldn’t help but be happy for both myself and my best friend.

My twins and Nicole’s boy are two years old now and the kids had Clarissa, Nicole’s first child, to be a big sister to them.

I’d thought against Nicole’s idea of moving to Miami to be close to me but now it’s the best decision ever because our children have grown closer than ever.

Ryan still stayed back in Los Angeles because of his work but he came during weekends to see his family while Nicole was given a job as an accountant in Mason’s company.

Everything just felt so perfect with the kids getting enrolled in the same nursery and Nicole staying just next door so that we are neighbors now.

We did basically everything together just like we’ve always done, we went to work together, came back home together, picked the kids up together and we’d also made sure to hire a nanny for when we want to go for our girl’s night out.

I didn’t think motherhood would be so fun yet so exhausting but I loved every bit of it.

“How’s he doing now mom?” I called my mother to ask about Danny’s health. His health seemed to be deteriorating quickly and I felt really sad for my mom.

“He’s still in chemo and well, the doctor said he doesn’t have much time left.” She sniffled and my chest clenched.

We’d just found out when the kids were just a year old that Danny was at the last stage of cancer and he had to be admitted into a hospital immediately, it marked the end of traveling for both of them.

I knew how much my mother loved Danny because she hasn’t really left his side since he was admitted.

She’d even settled down in Miami to be with him and my heart hurt for her but the fact that Danny had done a lot of good in his lifetime and the fact that my mom was lucky enough to experience his love was a lot.

“I’m sorry mum,” I consoled her, she wouldn’t stop crying and telling me about how much she loves him and how she knew that they were old but she never thought about losing him so soon.

“You love him, I know that but I also know that he loved you with everything he had too,” I continued after a while of silence.

“And you should know that if this ends and Danny leaves, he’ll always be alive in our hearts and we’ll also be sure that he’s on the other side waiting and watching over us.” I finished with tears in my eyes and I was glad that she isn’t close to me because if she saw I was crying I wouldn’t be able to stop her from crying too.

I really can’t believe how time had flown and everything that had happened.
