Now You Want Me (Starting Over)

Chapter 1

Miracle

"Hey mommies baby" I picked up my son from his crib kissing his chubby cheeks. He let's out an adorable smile showing his gums. "You slept good" he babbled on leaning to try and give me a sloppy smooch on my cheek.

I kissed his nose, setting him down in his little tub. I grabbed his wash towel, cleaning and dried him off with a dry clean towel. I wore his diaper struggling a bit as he tried to pull it off.

"No Zaire" I said firmly he looked at me with pouty lips but stopped allowing me to finish putting on his clothes. I took him downstairs where my mom was preparing his food. "Hey Nana's baby" his attention was focused on my Mom  as she carried him from my arm to feed him. I use the opportunity to go upstairs and get ready for the day. 

I did all my other hygiene and took a nice warm shower, washing my hair and every part of my body. I got out the shower putting on lotion, to keep my body moisturized. I got dressed in something business casual, since I have to go to my business and make sure everything is well.

I grabbed my phone, purse and keys then headed downstairs. Zaire was busy watching to notice me calling him "Zaire give momma a kiss before she goes" I said to him, his little hands grabbed my face as he kissed my nose. 

"He's so adorable" Momma said " I know right" I replied smiling looking at my baby. He brought me so much joy and happiness. I wanted to be better for him.

"Before you Miracle I wanted to talk to you about Lori" I rolled my eyes at that "girl don't you roll your eyes at me"

"Mom I don't want to talk about her okay" I pleaded, Lori was the last thing on my mind and I don't need anyone mentioning her name around me. "*Sigh* Miracle I know your upset and you have every right to be after what she did but she regrets everything she did. Just try and talk to her" Mom said standing in front of me.

"I'll think about it" was my response handing Zaire to my mom and heading for the door. "Thank you. Let me know when your done thinking" She yells behind me as I shut the door. I got in my new car that I just bought, it was amongst my favorite cars.

I arrived at my office building, parking my car in my personal parking space. I got out grabbing my bag and locking my car. Upon walking into the building I was greeted by my workers, I gave them a simple greeting. Am not a stuck up boss who threats their worker like they are not humans but I do set boundaries.

"Hey boss. Your meeting with the production company is set for next week, and I got you your coffee" Stacy my assistant said placing my coffee on the table "thank you I really needed this"

"I know" She replied smiling taking a sit. Stacy was a good friend of mine, she started working for me as my assistant but I liked her she was funny, hard working and easy to talk to. "You've been working with me for how long"

"Two and a half years" She replied laughing, I laughed along "I will go finish up what I was doing. Take it easy" 

"I will" I said before she closed the door. I went back to work carefully reading and signing my approval on  documents that made sense, the ones that didn't I put them to the side. I planned on having new collection come out before summer since we were collaborating with Dolce and Gabbana.

 I finished what ever I need to do here at the office and went to my next stop which was my alcohol company called Elixir. I was really proud of my self for creating it and I still am. Going into the alcohol business was a little scary but I pulled through and now the business was doing great, we sell different types of alcohol liquor, champagne, and wine mostly. It was our main specialty. Millions of people all over the world loved it and demand was very high. I was very proud of myself. I own my clothing line, alcohol brand, club and hotel and they were all doing very well making me lots of money. 

I had everything I needed except happiness, love and my soulmate. It took me a long time to realize it but I was falling in love with him every time I see him. I just cant hide my feeling for him any longer. 

I never knew that I would one day fall in love with the same man I proudly rejected. Try as I might to deny my feelings for him it became clear after that day.

Flashback

"Elijah please I just want to talk"

"You have more important things to worry about than talking to me" his eyes darted to my showing stomach, he turned around walking away I tried to call for him but was hit with a sharp pain.

"Arghhh" I cried out I felt a hand around my waist as I tried to deal with the pain I felt strong hands wrap itself around my waist, keeping me from falling as I taking to his car.

Next thing you know I found myself surrounded by nurses and doctors placed on a wheel chair as they rushed me to the delivery room. "Am scared" aside from the pain I was afraid.

"You'll be alright" Elijah encouraged holding my hand "Mr. Davis we have to begin" he nodded letting go of my hand, attempting to walk away but I grabbed his hand panicking "wait, wait, stay please, don't leave me"

He grabbed unto my hand holding unto it as doctor started talking "am going to count to three and then I need you too push with all your strength"

"No, No, No I can't do this"

"Yes you can. It won't be easy but you have to"

After what felt like hours of pushing I was tired but I could hear the loud cries of a baby, my baby. 

Flashback End

During my delivery Elijah was there for me through out. Not once leaving my side even after, he would take care of me making sure I was resting well, eating well, that I wasn't alone or depressed. It reminded me of those days except now I was no longer foolish. It was then I realized my strong feelings for him growing stronger as each day passes by. I know for sure that I was willing to do anything to get him back.
