Chapter 126

        After a while, he finally saw his wife rolling on the bed yawning a bit before fully opening her eyes. Bella felt at ease knowing he was by her side, knowing he was there with her. She couldn't fathom if what she had seen was a dream or reality but she hoped it wasn't a dream. Seeing their mother shake, Jojo and Jasmine rushed to her side screaming, "Mummy." As they rushed to hug her. Their screams woke her up fully and she sat up immediately.

         Even Antonio could not tame down their joy, their mother was their joy. He didn't know how long they'd wished to have a mother but he was glad he could grant them their most desirable wish. He smiled as he watched them talk to her kissing her cheek and face. "Mummy, we miss you?" Jojo started. "We... We prayed every day and night for you to come back to us." She added blinking her eyes. "I missed you all too."

        "And how's our baby brother, is he okay?" Jasmine asked placing her little hands on Bella's swollen stomach. "He's fine." Bella touched her stomach closing her eyes, "He says hi to both of you and cannot wait to meet his big sisters." She said to see them smile.

         "Well tell him we are waiting and we love him," Jasmine said. "Okay." Bella closed her eyes again placing her hands on her stomach as if listening to something before opening them again. "He said okay." She finally said with a smile.

         "We made gifts for you before coming," Jojo said staring at her father as he handed the gift over to his wife. "They spent months making this." Antonio chimed in as he sat next to her. This reunion was everything he looked up to but not in this way, he didn't expect her to be

        Bella struggled to hold back her tears as she opened the gift boxes. She has cried for days for not having a family, forgetting the wonderful family she's already blessed with. She opened the first box which belonged to Jasmine, taking out the piece of note in the box she read its content out loud. "I love you so much mummy I just want you to know I made it with so much love and care." She started at the little girl who jas turned red on the bed.

        "I love you too my love, I love you so much." Bella couldn't hold her tears in as a drop fell from her left eye which she was quick to wipe with her palm. She brought out the content in the box, it was a painting of their family together, but she wondered why they were five in the picture when in real life they were just four. "The tiniest one is my baby brother. I love you junior." She said smiling sweetly.

       Bella hugged her baby Jasmine kissing her forehead. After her little display of affection, she went ahead to open Jojo's gift. "I'm not as smart as jasmine mum, I can't paint like Jasmine neither can I think of anything to gift like she does but I use my little money to buy the best gift for you. I love you mummy yyyyy." Bella's tears fell fully from her eyes, this was just too beautiful.

       They've made all her worries go away, they've made her so happy. She didn't try to impress them or force them to like her but they choose her to be their mother. Antonio stroked her back, trying to calm her down, she just couldn't stop sobbing as she higher them to herself. She has the most beautiful family in the world what more could she ask of?

        A knock could be heard on the door followed by the doctor stepping into the room. "I... I'm so sorry if this is the wrong time to come in." He apologized immediately turning to leave. "Do your work so we can leave," Antonio ordered.

        "Well madam you've been discharged, you need to rest a lot and eat healthy for now there's nothing wrong with the baby only that he's starved for days. If you want to birth a healthy baby then you must take good care of yourself." He said before leaving.

        "I'll go clear the bills, for now, girls take care of mummy before she goes missing again." He said before stepping out. They had a lot to talk about and he didn't want to speak to her in an upsetting tone cause she gets mad when he does such. He wanted to know about her family, it doesn't matter if they are her real parents or not, the question is, DID THEY TAKE GOOD CARE OF HER? DID THEY LOVE HER AS THEY SHOULD? 

        It's one thing to birth a child and it's another thing to be a mother to a child. If her real parent's abandoned her, then she shouldn't bother looking for them. He got to the receptionist and cleared the bill before going back to his family.

         They arrived before a two-storey cabin, he asked his men to find a house for them and they got what he loved the most. They say living with nature makes healing fast. Since they are already here together there was no need to go back home, they would just stay here for a week or two, to build his wife back to normal. "I've asked Edmund to bring you things from the house you lived in before." He said to his wife to see her nod in agreement.

        They both held their daughter's hands as they stepped into the cabin. It was different from what Bella had imagined it to be, it was beautiful. An ancient decor with an impeccable ceiling and floor. Its simplicity and graceful decor were all it was. She couldn't even bring herself to explain how she loved the cabin.

       Her eyes moved around noticing the tiniest piece of decor in a corner, she loved avery bit of it. "Good day sir." Edmund arrived shortly with two bags in his hands. "Good evening madam." He greeted. "Edmund keep those bags and prepare chicken soup for my love, she hasn't eaten a thing for days now." Bella stared at him with wide eyes wondering where he got such information from.

         Okay yes, she agrees she hasn't eaten a thing since she got here, but... But...

         "Antonio takes it easy, I'm not going to get fat in a day." He grabbed her hands and brought them up to just his lips as he mass kissed her hands. The more his lips touched her skin, the more electric shock she felt around her body. "I don't like seeing you this way, my love." He said sweetly. Bella missed this feeling, she missed him.

        Who knew her life would be a mess without him? Antonio has become a huge part of her, a part she cannot let go of. A part that's going to stay forever. "A... Antonio people are here, especially the kids." She whispered blushing when he pegged her lips. "It's not a crime expressing my love for my woman." "Yes, yes I agree but not with the kids around." Antonio pegged her lips again and again and again making her entire body had turned red from his lips.

       Antonio loved this look on her face, he loved her reaction to his touch. "Edmund hurry up with the soup," Antonio ordered taking her up the stairs along with his daughters. "Jojo, Jasmine get into the bathroom." He ordered to see them to rush into the bathroom. "I'll be back." He said before stepping into the bathroom.

       After bathing his girls and dressing them up for the night, Antonio went on to bathe with his wife before heading out to feed her to his satisfaction. Bella felt all stuffed up, she was so full that she felt like puking, she didn't know why he stuffed her up with plenty of food when he was always around. She felt at ease seeing him beside her, it felt like her almost lost life was back to her.

        Antonio was the right backbone she needed now. "I have everything planned for our wedding, probably before our son arrives." Antonio chimed in. They were already married but just for publicity purposes, to let the world know they were. Bella was still scared about their marriage, this time it wasn't cause she was pretending to be someone else, but because of what people would say about her.

        Everyone in their city knew he was meant to get married to Lilo Stan, not her. She was the exact same replica of Lilo, they were alike in every aspect. She would be tagged as a home wrecker by everyone, as a man stealer. Lilo would go for her media rounds and she would be asked the question about not getting married to Antonio. She might decide to spill or not.

         She was scared of her image and reputation being ruined. She didn't know things would turn out this way, she thought it would be an easy job, but she didn't know the man was a sex addict. She knew he knew about all of this, but he cares less, all he wants is to be with her, to be next to her...
