My Next Door Neighbor

Chapter 54: Epilogue part 2

Penelope's POV A month later

"Ava, dino nuggets are on the table!" I wait for a response but instead I hear tiny feet coming down the spiral stairs. I open the door to the kitchen to see her open the door from the library before running inside. "Thank you mommy!" I smile and help her up the high chair and she begins eating her nuggets.

I walk to the sink to wash a plate when my son decides to kick me harshly, making me double over and lean against the sink. "Shit, ow" I quietly say, not wanting to alarm Ava. Soon enough the pain he left went away and I stand up, breathing out a sound of relief.

I turn around to walk to Ava when I feel like I peed myself, I look down to see fluid, the same fluid I had when my water broke with Ava. "Oh Jesus Christ, now? Grayson is in a meeting today. Okay, it's okay pen, everything is going to be alright" I groan softly as a wave of pain goes through me. My first contraction.

"A-Ava honey, can you grab me my phone please" I hear Ava come down the chair, bringing me my phone. She looks at the 'water' on the floor and looks up at me. "What's wrong mommy? Did you spill water on the floor?" I nod my head and dial Grayson's number.

"Y-You're going to see your little brother soon, he's coming. Now go upstairs to your room, okay?" She smiles and nods, walking out of the kitchen. The phone rings one last time before his secretary picks it up.

"Hello? Mr. Miller is in a meeting and cannot take any calls at this time" I groan loudly as my second contraction hits. "T-Tell Mr. Miller that his wife has gone into labor" I sigh in relief as the pain goes away. "Is this a prank call? I know Mr. Millers wife and she's not pregnant" I roll my eyes.

"That lady from the clothing section isn't his wife, he gave her a final warning to stop saying she's his wife. Ah! Fuck!" I nearly drop the phone as another wave of contractions, hits me. They're getting closer. "Put my husband on the fucking phone! Please!" She scoffs and hangs up.

"This bitch!" I growl as I dial his number again and she picks up again. "Stop calling this number, he is a married and respectable man" I groan.

"Grayson Miller is married to me, we've been married for six years. Put my goddamn husband on the phone or so help me, I will rip your fucking hair from your scalp! I am in pain, I need my husband with me here as I deliver our son! I need him to know so that I can call my fucking midwife!" She scoffs. "Just stop"

She hangs up again. I dial my midwife's number and she picks up. "Hi Mrs. Miller, what can I-" I cut her off with a loud groan. "Baby is coming! I need you here and my husbands damn secretary won't give him his own phone or tell him that I'm in labor! Please, I need you here, now!"

I can hear her on the other side, getting her stuff. "I'm on my way, I'll be there in thirty minutes" I whimper slightly from the pain. "T-Thank you" I hang up and dial Travis and he thankfully picks up. "Y-Yeah" I pause. "Why do you sound out of breath? Oh... did I interrupt something?" I hear him chuckle. "Uh, maybe. Anyways, what's up?"

I groan again as another wave hits me. "In labor, Grayson's secretary won't tell him I'm in labor cause of that bitch in the clothing section and doesn't believe me when I say I'm his wife, I need you to call him. She'll listen to you, she knows you. Please!" He doesn't say anything and hangs up.

I slowly walk to the first bathroom and clog the bathtub, filling it up with lukewarm water. After about five minutes, my phone rings and I see it's Grayson. I pick it up immediately. "Grayson!" I hear him yelling.

"I don't care if some bitch in the clothing section says she's my wife, she doesn't have a wedding band! My real wife is in labor and I had to find out through my brother, not by my wife calling repeatedly to tell me. You're fired!" I groan and put the phone down on speaker, striping my clothes off.
