Loving You, Feels Wrong. (Freen x Becky x Billy)

Chapter 15

** 3 years later **

Becky just got home from work, it was a Friday night and it had been such an exhausting day.

She’d moved up the ladder at her firm, and was now working with bigger, more reputable clients.

It was good. It brought home good money. She felt good when she won cases, cause she knew how much hard work she put into each of them. But the hard work was non-stop. And it was getting hectic.

She put her keys in the bowl by the door, hung her coat in the closet, went into the kitchen and poured herself a glass of water. She then went upstairs, dropped her laptop bag on the bed and went in for a shower. She was done in 10 minutes, and came out clad in her pajama bottoms and a baggy t-shirt.

She headed back downstairs and into the kitchen, she pulled out the leftover of the lasagna Sara had brought over a couple of days ago and reheated it in the microwave while pouring herself a glass of wine.

She served herself a plate and put the empty dish in the sink and then took her plate and glass over to the couch. She sat down, switched her TV on and put something on, on Netflix. She didn’t care what, whatever was trending.

She sat back, her plate in hand, and ate, watching mindlessly and unwinding. And when she was done eating, she picked her glass of wine, settled in further on the couch and sipped. She closed her eyes and laid her head back on the top of the backrest and exhaled heavily.

She didn’t know how long she stayed that way still, and just breathing in and out slowly, but her phone buzzed and she realized she'd missed a major part of the series she was watching on her TV.

She sighed and checked her phone, it was a text from Irin.

“I’ll see you tomorrow right?” the text read.

Becky looked at it confused. Tomorrow... What was tomorrow again?

And then Irin typed and sent “It’s Nini's birthday, remember ka?”

Becky had forgotten. She’d forgotten her god-child, Nini's birthday.

“Of course! I’ll be there. I wouldn't miss it for the world.” Becky replied.

“Alright, Nini's excited to see you. How have you been doing? How’s work?” Irin asked.

“I’m alright, work’s the same. Just got home in fact. Nini's awake?” Becky asked.

“Noey just put her to sleep. She tired herself out today playing.”

“555555555 I’m sure.” Becky smiled to herself.

René (more fondly- Nini), Irin and Noey's daughter was a ray of sunshine in all of their lives.

She was going to be 2 tomorrow. And Becky was looking forward to seeing her tomorrow and holding her, and kissing her and cuddling her and playing with her and tickling her and listening to her sweet little laugh.

Irin was trying to get her to say Auntie Becky, but Becky wanted her to be able to simply call her Becbec. And she seemed to have picked up the 2 syllables easily.

Becky recalled the day she was born.

/f/

She received a text from Noey that day at about 10 am, she was already on her way to work that day, and as soon as she’d seen the text she turned the car around and headed to the hospital.

Once she was in the hospital premises, she texted her seniors at work saying it was a family emergency and she wouldn’t be in today and rushed up to the floor she knew Noey and Irin were on.
