The Greek Tycoon's Baby

Chapter 21: Early welcome

Hi! This is the last chapter! I'll post the epilogue and then we'll have to say goodbye to Alexander and Evelyn. Thank you all for supporting this story and giving me the encouragement to continue writing! It means a lot to me. :) :)

Evelyn's POV

''Please, put that there.'' I told one of the workers.

''Yes, ma'am.'' he replied.

''You have become quite bossy, sis.'' I heard a voice saying from behind me scaring me.

''Michael! You scared me. When did you arrive?'' I asked turning around fast.

''Careful there. We don't want something to happen to my little niece or nephew. Do we? After all, you are here instead of staying home as Alex said. '' he said caressing my stomach.

Being in the first days of my ninth month, I was quite big and I'm sure Alexander has grown tired of telling me that I'm not fat. It wasn't my fault that sometimes I was feeling insecure about my weight and I needed someone to tell me that I'm still beautiful.

''It's getting quite great here.'' Michael said observing the place.

''Yes. It's bigger, too.'' I replied.

I was at the cafe observing the work while Nadia went to buy some last things we needed. We decided to expand the place and bought a plot next to it that was being sold last month. We waited for a month before starting the renovation as the workers had to build the expansion and connect it with the main building. The work involving the inside of the cafe started on the first day of September. Now in the middle of the month, we were almost done, but we decided to officially open at the end of October thinking that it was better to give birth first.

All this time Alexander was focusing on me. When I said that I forgave him and I loved him, I meant it. But I wasn't ready to trust him again completely. He probably realized it himself, but he didn't say anything. Every day I would wake up to a red rose and a note with Alexander's handwriting with only a sentence on it every time.

''Light of my eyes, I love you so much.''

''Thank you for being in my life.''

''My beautiful wife, I already miss you.''

Those were some examples of the notes. I had placed all the notes in a box and had put it in the closet. Who would have thought that Alexander Stefopoulos could be a romantic man? But the fact was that he was gaining my trust back little by little. He was trying really hard and I wanted to reward him somehow. At nights we cuddled and he was talking to baby caressing my stomach and sometimes he was feeling a couple of kicks. I couldn't wait to give birth to him or her, but I have to wait until then.

When we returned to Boston, Alexander had a surprise for me. He had bought a new house just outside of Boston. The house was beautiful and it had green all around it, but the most important thing was that it felt more like home. He let me decorate our bedroom, the kitchen, and the living room. I was so happy when he told me that was our new home. I never liked the previous one. It screamed single life.

''So, how is my niece or nephew doing today?'' my brother asked.

''Torturing mommy.'' I replied as I felt another kick.

These past days the baby was moving too much. At nights sometimes I couldn't sleep very well. Alexander seemed to know it every single time and he woke up as well. I was feeling extremely guilty afterward, but he always reassured me that it was alright. This time, however, the pain didn't subside instead it was getting much stronger.
