Emily narrates:"I want to know everything about the pregnancy, I'd like to know how long you have and when you have control. The truth is that I am excited that I will finally have grandchildren and I may not show it, but if my son is happy, I am happy too. I don't want to tell you with this that I don't like you, just that we need to get to know each other to get along very well. Besides, I want you to tell me about yourself, your family, your life and what you studied, Mason told me that you would like to work with him and support him in everything when you can be together, that makes me very happy I could help with the baby, so you don't have to worry about taking care of him. Of course, if you agree," I say feeling "embarrassed" by my anxious impulse.It's all fake. I'm just trying to get him to show me his true face."Wow, that's a lot of questions. Regarding the pregnancy, I'm about six weeks along, I think. I have a check-up coming up. As for myself, there's not much to tell.

Emily narrates:I find myself in the doctor's examination room, and when I see him in person, I'm completely stunned. Wow, this man is handsome. I smile like an idiot and understand why Peyton chooses to see him."Mrs. Emily, it's a pleasure to meet you. How can I assist you?" he asks, smiling and shaking my hand."Thank you. Well, I came here for a complete check-up. I haven't been keeping up with regular check-ups due to lack of time, and I want to see how I'm doing," I respond with a smile on my lips."I understand. I'll ask you some questions to get a better understanding of your medical history," he says, starting to inquire about intimate details.After answering everything, he examines me and finds everything to be in order. However, he gives me a prescription for blood tests to evaluate my overall health."Alright, when you have the results from these tests, come and see me for a follow-up, free of charge," he informs me.I nod and contemplate what to say. Ultimately, I decide

Mason narrates:I am on my way to Peyton's house, I say her house, because it is in her name, I consider it somewhat appropriate because she is the mother of my child. It's been two weeks since she's been on bed rest and today, she finally has control and I'll be able to see my son or daughter.On the other hand, I still haven't heard from Paige, the anguish is killing me, I want to see her, even if it's just for pictures. I don't have her phone number and she send Sarah and Ethan pictures of Simba, I think, of her just the same, but my friends only forward me the ones of Simba.I have been thinking about looking at her social media, which would just be torturing me with seeing her. the best thing is for me to get on with my life. I still live in our house, I sleep in the bed she used to use, on her side of the bed. Every night I smell her scent in the room less and less, but I cling to her as much as I can. She is the woman I have always dreamed of.Right now, I am on my way to her h

Paige narrates:It's been a few days since I met Tabatha, at the moment I find myself living with her as my friends may have a lot of willingness, but they need their privacy.Also, my friend is single, but not alone. Her words, not mine, which I found very funny. Just now I find myself sitting looking at the sea, with the beautiful view that Tabatha has from her beautiful and big house. I can see her economic situation, she works most of the time at home and she offered me to be her assistant, since she always forgets things and the secretary is a separate issue that has her frustrated with work. I happily accept, as I will have to go when she goes to the office, or in case of keeping me in the loop go once a day to organize her schedule and company stuff.On the other hand, Simba has plenty of room to play and entertain himself, he is happy with the weather here. I have been talking daily with my friend Sarah and Ethan, both of whom are concerned about me and my baby. I asked them i

Narrates Paige:I arrive at the company, and I'm surprised by how beautiful it is. At the reception, after telling them that I came on behalf of their boss, they let me in without any issues, at least until I reach her office. I see the secretary smiling at a quite attractive guy. I approach them and greet them both. Luckily, they both speak Spanish well, so I can communicate with them without any problems."Good morning, I come on behalf of Miss Tabatha for a folder and to get up to date with her schedule. I'm her new assistant," I introduce myself with a smile."Welcome, a true pleasure. My name is Lucas, and you can come to me if you have any doubts," the guy says, kissing my cheek."My name is Paige and thank you for that. You're the secretary, right?" I ask, looking closely at the girl who lost her smile when she saw me arrive."Yes, I'm the one in charge of this office," she says, pointing to Tabatha's office."That won't be the case anymore. As I mentioned, I am the assistant,

Narrated by Paige:It has been two days, and right now, I'm waiting for Riley at the airport. I'm worried about her seriousness when she spoke to me on the phone. She said she has something very important to tell me, and I can't help but think of a thousand scenarios.I see her approaching me, and I expected a joyful smile, but what I see is one of pity. That sets off alarm bells in my brain about what she has to tell me."Friend, how are you?" she says, hugging me."Riley, you have no idea how much I've missed you. How are you?" I ask in return."I wish I could say I'm fine and that I'm here for a visit, but it's not the case. As I've mentioned in our phone calls, we have something very important to discuss," she says, taking my hand."How about we go to my car and find a place to talk, so we're not here in the middle of the airport?" I respond, smiling nervously."Sure, let's go to your car and talk," she says, sounding nervous.We walk in silence, and we reach my car. I put her sui

Narrated by Mason:At the check-up, the doctor tells us that the baby is doing well, but that doesn't mean Peyton can go back to her normal hectic life. The doctor advises us to gradually resume her normal routine, starting with walking around the house for a few hours and increasing the time each day. We don't want a repeat of what happened before.The doctor also emphasizes that Peyton should avoid anger and stress. During this time, it's best for her not to work and not to burden herself with excessive things that require mental effort, so that she can have a calm pregnancy and ensure the healthy growth of our child within her.I nod to everything the doctor says and keep in mind all the things I need to do for Peyton. At the end of the appointment, the doctor gives us a photograph of our baby, and I leave with a stupid grin on my face. It's my baby growing inside her. This news makes me so happy. It feels like now that I've seen the photo and been to the check-up, I'm finally gras

Narrated by Emily:The big day has arrived. You may be wondering which day I'm referring to. It's quite simple. Today is the day I will expose all of Peyton's lies.I told her that I had planned a baby shower for my grandson. She's very excited about what I supposedly prepared.I have the venue where all the guests will gather, not that there are many, only the ones who are genuinely interested."Peyton's friend" Mason will be there, along with Ethan, Sarah, Riley, and my husband. I sent an invitation to Paige, but she confirmed that she won't attend. I explained to her that it's not what she thinks, but she still didn't want to come.I hope that when everything is over, I can explain to her why it took so long to expose this woman who pretends to love my son and a family that was never close to forming with him.In my bag, I have the DNA sample with the result. Even during this time that has passed, I managed to obtain the DNA from her friend, the neighbor. As for the doctor, he didn

Narrated by Mason:The day has arrived. Finally, I will see Paige again. I feel excited, sad, and angry all at once. I wish things could have been different between us, but I can't do anything to change the past.I look at myself in the mirror of our bedroom, where I still sleep, trying to sense her scent. Even though there's nothing left, I refuse to stop sleeping here, at least until Peyton moves in. I've thought about permanently closing this room and using the one next to it for us. That way, the one next to it will be for the baby. I hope Peyton won't mind that.The pregnancy is progressing well. She hasn't had any pain, and her next check-up is in two weeks.I'm on my way to the meeting with my lawyer and Paige and her lawyer. I'm really anxious to see her.I get out of the car and walk faster than I intend to, just so I can see her. As I enter, I spot her from a distance. She looks even more beautiful than before if that's even possible.She hasn't noticed my presence, so I tak

Narration: PaigeUpon my arrival, my friends greet me at the airport. Sarah starts crying and hugs me tightly. I don't say anything; her pregnancy has made her very emotional, at least that's what Ethan has told me through messages.Riley is as usual, she's not as affectionate as Sarah. I greet them both and we head to Sarah's house. I'm surprised to see that they have everything planned out, even the lawyer has her own room in this house.At Emily's house, my friend and Mason's father are waiting for me. I greet them both with hugs, and what can I say about Simba? He's thrilled to be with the people he missed. It hurts to see certain things, like my baby being happier here than with me. Despite having space and the ocean to run and enjoy, I feel like he's happier being with everyone here than being with me. It's something I've been contemplating, it hurts to face the truth, but it's an option I will consider when I leave.They update me on my friend's pregnancy news, show me the phot
