culpables years later

Noah

After I had a lovely evening with Nick and our son last night, the worse the night was for me. I had cramps that were worse than the period! The doctor had warned me that something like this could happen. The only thing I could do was take tablets and drink tea. Nick was suffering too. It hurt him to see that I was unwell and he couldn't do anything about it. What helped, though, was that he massaged my stomach. Which meant we both had a busy night. In my good mood, I had to meet my mum for brunch this morning. She said it was important and couldn't wait. And I should come alone.

So Nick agreed to drive Andy to preschool. Even at breakfast, Nicholas was behaving strangely about brunch. Several times I explained to him that it's my mother and nothing will happen. What made him skeptical was that I should come alone. ,,You don't have time, do you?"Nick wanted to answer, but he looked at Andy. ,,Son, do you want to brush your teeth and pack your backpack?" Andrew nodded and went upstairs. My gaze returned to Nick, who thought carefully what he was saying. ,,I just want you and our baby to be safe. And if you'd asked me to come with you, I would've done it. Because I love you. Even if I wasn't keen on eating with your mother."

Even as I tried to push it off, I knew Nick had a problem with my mum. He was kind to her out of politeness and because of me and Andy. He had never forgiven her for the thing that had torn his parents apart, let alone separated us. But I knew Nick needed time to forgive. Because I needed her then, too. I stood up and sat on his lap. My hands crossed his neck to his face, where I ran over his stubbles. ,,Nick. I know we have had problems with our parents in recent years, but life is too short to be angry. It gets more and more exhausting and then it's over. We must all forgive. Please. As you have forgiven me. I love you and our funny family. Don't be angry with her. Life is too short for that. We are lucky that our children still have grandparents." He closed his eyes and looked at me, and I could feel his hands moving up and down my hips. He kissed me like only Nick could. Passionate and full of desire. ,,What are you doing to me? Only you can talk me out of this. You always see the good. I'm doing my best for you and our kids. But now I'd like to have a little more Noah." I had to laugh at his hoarseness. ,,As much as I'd like to Nick, but Andy is coming down and after last night I don't want to do that. But you can massage well. If I'm feeling better, maybe I can massage you? From your chest to your feet. Over your belly and your long and strong..." Just as I was about to finish my sentence, and Nick's lust was breaking and his eyes were plucking me out, we were interrupted by Andy. ,,Oh, those kisses. Please stop. I'm going to have a little sister." How does he know how children come from? I don't think Jenna and Lion were good mates. Nick's look told me how much he wanted Andy out of the house.

,,That's what people do when they love each other and I love your mum very much." He kissed me and sat me down on the table. ,,Are you ready? I'll grab my bag and I'll drive you." As Nick left, he gave me a mischievous expression and slapped his lips. It was going to be a long night for me. ,,Bye, mum love you." I gave him a kiss and when Nick came back, I got from him a goodbye kiss. So I was alone now. I cleared the table and got ready. My mum would pick me up and together we went to the Four Seasons. Actually, I wasn't the type to go to such hotels or restaurants. But my mum insisted. She liked it. So I accepted. I styled my hair into a loose bun and for dressing, I opted for a pair of blue baggy jeans and a yellow blouse. It was simple but elegant. At least, I hoped. When the doorbell rang, I knew it wasn't my mum, it was Steve. He escorted us to safety. As he stayed in the background, I didn't mind. I would never admit it to Nick, but I felt safer knowing Steve was there if anything happened. When I opened the door for him, he smiled at me, we hugged and I invited him in for a cup of coffee. ,,How are you doing, Miss Leister? Are you enjoying your pregnancy?" It was inappropriate for him to talk to me as Miss, let alone Leister. Even after all this time, it was funny not to be called Morgan anymore but Noah Leister. ,,I have good days and bad days, Steve. But we're happy. How are you?" ,,I'm healthy and have a good life. So I can't complain."

We talked for a while until finally my mum came and we left. Steve sat in the back of the car and kept track of everything. Sometimes he was on the phone, which leads me to conclude that Nick was texting him. Steve never picked up the phone during work. Only when it was Nick or me. What surprised me was that my mum was so quiet for her circumstances. Normally she would talk without pause, but today that wasn't the case. That meant she was pressing something or something was in the air. The last time she did that was at the gala. But I didn't want to bring it up now. Maybe she'll tell me on her own. When we arrived, everything was so luxurious. I wasn't quite the fan of this rich world. For her and Nick, I tried. Inside, everything was beautiful and so garish. Arriving at the restaurant, Steve stopped at the back window, where he could see everything. We had juice and water. She had a sparkling champagne and coffee and I had a choice of juice, water or tea.

After a while, my mum finally started talking about what was bothering her.
