Howe you doing? mom asks through the phone. “And how are the baby and Noah?
Once again they were out of the country for a business meeting. It didn’t come as a surprise to me
that they had their own private jet since Rowan did too. He had his own and there was also a
family one. I have never used his. Never been inside it. Probably because we rarely went to any
trips together.
When my wealth rose to great heights, I thought of buying a jet of my own, but I quickly shot the
idea down. What the hell would I use it for? I rarely went anywhere that will necessitate me
needing one of my own. If I had to go somewhere, I usually hired one or I’d just fly business class.
“Ava?
“Sorry mom. We’re all doing well. We just miss you guys so much”
And it was true. They’ve been gone for a week and they’ll be away for another week. Noah and I
missed them like crazy. It’s surprising how they’ve become such a big part of our lives in such a
short time,
“We miss you too. Your dad says hi by the way. He said he’ll talk to you in the evening when he
isn’t so busy”
“That’s all right”
“So, have you bought anything new for the b
our months isn’t long. Soon he or she will be
here” just as always, excitement rings in her voice when she talks about the baby.
“How am I supposed to buy anything when everyone around me already has? This baby will have
more than in enough and a lot to choose from” I laugh.
The baby’s room was full of stuff. I thought that mom, dad, Letty and Corrine were bad. That was
before Reaper came into the picture.
He has been sending cute little gifts since I allowed him to be part of his or her life. I don’t even
get when or where he goes shopping when he is in hiding. Everything he has bought is in color
pink. Just like with Noah and Ethan, he also believes that it will be a baby girl.
My smile falls as soon as thoughts of him pass through my mind. I know I promised him, but I
