Chapter 120: Doubts about Paige's Decision
Narrated by Mason:I must admit that going for a walk with Paige did me good. It helped me regain control over the emotions stirred up by that letter. As much as I think about it, I understand that the baby is not to blame for what Peyton is asking, but I don't feel prepared to help in any way.I look at Paige again, lost in her thoughts. She looks so beautiful and perfect that I wish I could freeze time and stay like this forever. I will cherish this image in my mind forever; it's the most beautiful thing I have ever seen.I stop walking, and Paige turns to look at me. With her attention on me, I try to smile and say, "I'm sorry for my behavior earlier. Honestly, I didn't expect to read something like that," I confess, feeling embarrassed in front of her."Don't worry. Not everyone reacts the same way. I can't put myself in your shoes, so I preferred to go for a walk. As you know, your mother is very kind and won't let that baby go unprotected. We both know that she, along with Sarah
Chapter 121: A New Opportunity
Narrated by Mason:After a memorable breakfast, we gather to meet with Riley and everyone else. Even my parents are here. It must be something very important that they have to tell us, that's for sure.We sit down, and before saying anything, Lucas stands up determined to speak."We have called all of you here because Riley and I are about to take a huge step, and we hope to have your support," he says, both excited and nervous."They're getting married!" Sarah shouts with her hands up, happy with the idea she had."It's not that, but believe me, it's not me who doesn't want to do it," Lucas clarifies, looking at a blushing Riley."If it's not that, what decision have you made?" I ask, confused."We want to adopt Peyton's baby," Lucas says, looking attentively at my mother.I think this took everyone by surprise, at least it didn't cross my mind, I didn't even think it was relevant. My mother is the first to react and she approaches Riley, excitedly embracing her. She whispers somethi
Chapter 122: Good News
Paige narrates. After the night we spent together, I can say that I feel like I'm on cloud nine or in a dream. It's as if I'm living in a different reality. I'm afraid to open my eyes and realize that I didn't dare to hold his hand and that we didn't spend the night together.I feel kisses on my neck, and I realize that it did happen, that I am with Mason, and that this time I hope everything will be different from what we've experienced before. I have hope that we can finally be happy and that it will be forever.I don't want to open my eyes; I want to stay in this bed forever by his side and make up for all the time we've lost due to past mistakes."Good morning," Mason says, smiling, and I think it's the sexiest version of him I've seen in all the time I've known him."Good morning," I reply, blushing."I want to take advantage of the fact that you've just woken up to tell you something important," he says nervously. "Okay, I'm listening," I reply, sitting on the bed. "The firs
Chapter 123: Maia
Narrates Riley:I must admit that I feel like the happiest woman in the world. I am finally a mother, and my little one is a fighter. From his first breath, he has shown strength and bravery. Lucas is equally proud of him, if not more. To be honest, we are both smitten with our son.Emily has been a great grandmother to him. She gave herself that title, and she has been a tremendous help with Tyler, as we have decided to name him. I feel like I'm living a dream, one that I never thought I would have the opportunity to experience. I dreamed of becoming a mother, and this baby has brought joy into my life, well, our lives.I feel complete, not because Tyler replaces the baby we lost, not at all. It's just that I believe my life is now perfect, and the future will be perfect and beautiful as I focus on making this little one happy. We will shower him with all the love in the world, and he will have stability in every aspect. We will be there for him in whatever he wants to pursue in life
Chapter 124: Three Mounts Later
Three months later...Mason narrates.I'm feeling like a madman right now. Paige is about to give birth, and I feel like every movement she makes while sleeping could be a contraction. Lately, I've been sleeping with one eye open and one closed, my mind weighing on the fact that when the time comes, I'll be the one in charge of the situation. Maia's bag, Paige's bag, car keys, reminding her to breathe and assisting her in every way. Those are my instructions for that moment.I look at her sleeping, and when she wakes up, I check the time and see that it's six in the morning. These past few days, she has been waking up after 10, following my mother's advice."Sleep as much as you can. When we become mothers, we never sleep the same way we used to."That's why I let her sleep as much as she can. She looks at me and doesn't smile. That's not a good sign."Is everything okay, love?" I ask nervously.She shakes her head, and I sit on the bed, thinking about what to do."It hurts, but not r
Chapter 125: End?
Narrates Riley:Our little Tyler gets bigger every day, and I watch him completely in love as he smiles at me. I love him so much, just like Lucas. We're both giving him all the love we have to give. Despite the circumstances, he is a gift that came into our lives.Lucas is at work, but he sends me a message saying that he's on his way and bringing a gift for Tyler. He has become a compulsive shopper since our son arrived. I approach Ty, a nickname I have for him, lift him up in my arms, and then the doorbell rings.I walk while talking to the little one, using a funny voice to tell him that his dad is bringing him a gift. I open the door with him in my arms, smiling, but the smile fades when I see who's at the door, looking at me with a surprised expression upon seeing me with a baby in my arms."What are you doing here?" I ask in a low voice, trying to find a way to remain calm for my son."Your father needs you," he says with a broken voice."Hahaha, how funny of you to come and sa
Chapter 126: End
Narrated by Mason:We take our seats and wait impatiently for our future wives. I must say that if someone had told me four years ago that I would be getting married to Paige out of love, my reaction would have been to laugh out loud, considering that something like that would never happen.Sometimes destiny puts the right people in our lives, but some of us are blinded by a glare and become unable to see the true ray of light we want in our lives. I smile as I remember the first time I saw Paige, furious at the thought of marrying me. She was so angry that I could almost see steam coming out of her ears. She looked adorable and terrifying at the same time. I remember that when I saw her asleep, not a single bad thought crossed my mind. My mind didn't see her as a woman, but as a friend. And as I got to know her more each day, I unknowingly fell in love with her. Being around her was always something I enjoyed. I felt good in her presence, but I couldn't grasp the fact that she was th

Over the years, we have raised them as cousins.In these ten years, things have changed a bit. Mason and I had another child about five years ago.

These girls are demanding and adorable, although they drive my friend crazy at times, as Ethan is completely smitte
