The Path To Her Heart

Chapter 4

"Hey Ally, how are you?" I asked over the phone.

"Amazing Liv. Just Amazing. This feeling is incredible." Ally, Jason's sister says. Ally was the one person who had contact with me in that family. She believed me when I said I loved her brother.

"How's our little football player?" I ask referring to the wonderful boy growing inside her.

"He is kicking more than I expected,Liv." She says. "Hey Liv, we went for the check up yesterday and the doctor confirmed his due date. 4th October."

"Hey thats in another week or so!" I say excitedly then reality hits me. 4 October. "That's our wedding day."

"Oh." Her voice becomes low. "I'm Sorry Olivia."

"No it's fine. Besides, that was a beautiful day and I am happy that he is coming into this world in the same day." I smile. "Hey i know you are due next week but is it possible for you and Kai come to the restaurant tomorrow? Heather is turning 5 and we are celebrating there. She is killing me to see you guys."

"Of course, It's been ages since I saw her which sucks cause we both live in Seattle." She says.

After talking for a while more, I had to go put Heather to bed so I walked to the living area to Heather and Maya watching Frozen.

"Heather, it's time for bed sweetheart. It's your birthday tomorrow!" I cheer.

"Mommy, I watch little more." She says and I shake my head.

"Baby, come on. I'm not letting this become a habit." I say as she sighs and walks over to me. She gets in my arms and I kiss her cheek.

I place her on the left side of the bed and get in the bed next to her. She scoots closer to me, wrapping her tiny arms around my waist.

Thoughts start flowing in my head.
She is gonna turn 5 and she has not seen her dad. Its gonna be 6 years since the divorce. How would've things been if we didn't get divorce? My Jay would have loved her. They Jason Knight I saw the other may look the same but is not my Jay.

I notice Heather touching the chain that hangs on my neck. The chain Jay gave me for my birthday. 5 years back.

"Do you like the chain baby?" I ask and she nods. "You can wear it tommorow, okay?" She nods again.

"I love you."

"I love you mommy."

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY LITTLE MONSTER!" Drew shouts, entering the room along with waking us up.

I pull the comforter above our heads.

"OH NO YOU DONT. YOU GUYS,GO GET READY." Maya shouts.

I slowly turn around to my five-year old daughter. I smile to my self before gently tapping her shoulder.

"Good Morning Sweetie." I say.

"Mowrning Mommy." I giggle.

"Happy Birthday, big girl." I hug her placing a kiss on her head.

"Thank you." She rests her head on my chest.

Looking at ourselves from the mirror, I smile at her.
