- Didn’t You Miss Mommy?
Sam (Annie’s Mom)
I just called Tango’s family to come over for dinner. I urgently need to speak with them and with David. My daughter authorized me to inform them about her condition, and that’s precisely why I must start traveling immediately to prepare the place where my princess will live. When I reach where Lucien and Day live. I inform them at that moment. It pains me not to be able to tell Susan and Trevor for now, but I believe the final decision and the person who should tell them personally is Annie
My family is puzzled, as we have no pending celebrations, and informing them urgently has created a tense situation among the families.
“Hi cousin, we’re here. You’ve got us on pins and needles. Tanya and Steven arrive punctually accompanied only by Athena and Chris. Amold is too busy and has gradually distanced himself from his parents.
Hi cousin, come in, please. The kids and David are in the living room, eager to know what’s going on I know my husband should be the first to know, but I don’t want to give explanations one by one, and I need to leave for my trip as soon as possible.
When we reach the living room and after the usual greetings, we all sit down I have the family in front of me, waiting for me to stan talking
“For God’s sake woman Speak already I can’t stand the suspense. Are you sick or something?” My husband’s voice breaks. I know he has always feared something happening to me that would separate us, but the truth is Im very healthy.
“No, it’s not about me it’s actually about Annie.” Everyone falls silent, waiting for me to continue. 1 spoke with her recently. The matter is delicate, and that’s why I asked you to come. Annie is coming back soon, in approximately six weeks from now” They all let out a sigh of reliet but when I sell them the next part, everyone looks
astonished
But she won’t come back here directly instead, shall travel to the house near Lucien. She has decided to spend the last months of her pregnancy there David stands up, very pale. I fear he might faint, so I go to his side and take his hand
“Sit down, dear, calm down. Annie told me she’s pregnant” When I say this, a sobreaks my voice. Tears quickly well up in my eyes. My girl lelt here with a tr
boken heart and a baby in her womb, il anjane understands her perfectly it’s me
“But why dom shall me?” My husband’s eyes start to shed tears of pain think he feels again what he fell when he returned from his trip and didn’t find ma
“I honestly don’t know. She only told me to help her decide whether she should come back or not, but in the end she chose to retum so we could be there for the birth of
my grandchild, our grandchild, my love.” I tell my husband, who takes my hand
“Do you think it’s some karma I’m paying for what i did to you?” I smile tenderly at him. He’s been asking for forgiveness for twenty five years for what he did and still thinks the owes me. But no, this is solely about Annie and has nothing to do with our part.
“No, my love, our daughters life is separate. She’s just forging her path based on her decisions. And she freely chose to love someone who didn’t reciprocate. She gambled lu won and lost in the game of love. But she cofianely won with her pregnancy She’ll have a child. She’ll be a mother, and wic, her family, will be there for her. Or rather for them.” My cousin smiles. They’ve remained silent, just listening
“Well, but is she going to tell Liam? That guy got married a few months ago, I don’t think his wife will be thrilled that her husband is going to have a child with his ecl remain silent at what she says because i have no idea what Anne plans to do
“Only Annie knows that. Maybe the doesn’t want to be in contact with them. But in my opinion, whatever she decides, I will respect. However, I have fach that in the end. she will feel encouraged to sell the gay, After all, he is the father. If things didn’t work out between them, the child is not to blame. But i haven’t seen her yet, and I don’t know how broken her heart still is. With a wounded soul, it’s hard to accept being next to the one who hurt you so much. For now, I want you to know that I will travel to check the house. And when it’s in optimal condition and Annie retums. I will go live with her to take care of her.”
My husband is still silent, assimilating everything I’ve said Suddenly he comes over and rugs me
“No, my love, you’re saying it wrong. You won’t go. We will go I’m not going to miss being with my little fairy while she carries our grandchild in her womb for anything in the world. Despite everything, I feel very huspy‘ Viu all smile because it’s true. No matter how things happened, the arrival of that baby is a great blessing to the family
After everyone found out, the mood of the gathering improved. Everyone started making plans about the baby, I still can’t believe my girl is going to be a mother I imagine it will be the most beautiful child in the world since his parents are beautiful. I smile at the prospect of soon having that little being in my arms.
The only thing that pains me is not being able to tell Susan. She loves Annie very much and will surely be hurt not to be part of this news about her grandchild from this moment. But I hope Annie decides to tell them soon
I just finished à consultation, and as the patient leaves my office, I receive a call from Maria
“Hi, love! Will you come home early?rd like to talk to you about something important. I hear her usual cheerful tone of voice. I feel like a damned person because I can’t match her enthusiasm. 1 think I’m definitely the worst partner in the world
“Hi, yes, I only have one more consultation and then I’ll go home. By the way tomorrow night there’s a shareholders‘ panty at the hospital Will go together” She gets excited when I mention the party. I know she lives bored, but if she doesn’t want to do anything productive, I can’t help her with that.
When hang up the phone, le down for a moment, waiting for my next patient. That party is organized every year, and last year Annee accompanied me. I remember being highly praised for having such a beautiful companion. But I was so bitter that I didn’t appreciate her and didn’t even give her a compliment. But she didn’t say anything. She rever complained about my behavior towards her. I don’t understand her pallence in pulling up with me.
There’s a knock on the door, and I know my patient has ended.
“Doctor excuse me, here’s Mrs. Ross” I nod and the lady enters. Since it’s just a check–up, I finish quickly and go home
“Maria, I’m home, I shout a lime, She comes out of the kitchen, wearing an apron.

Lanive, the smell of food fills my nostrils.
“Hi, honey ordered food, but I’m heating it up. Let’s have dinner” I smile at her and give her a kiss on the forehead. I leave my briefcase and sit of the table.
“Well, what do you want to tak to me about?” I ask as she serves me. She finishes what she’s doing and sits down well
