TERRA'S POV:
FIVE MONTHS LATER:
It had been five months since I moved to Aurenia, and changed my entire life and name. I ditched my old contact information, my entire identity, my surroundings, everything was different. I moved to Auriena which is about a ten hour flight back home. The whole country was pleasant and the estate I was staying in was fantastic.
I had purchased a luxurious large duplex with about five bedrooms including a master bedroom with a king sized bed just for me, a gym, a kitchen with everything I needed, living room and so much. I had spent a lot of time picturing my children playing around.
Yes, my children.
Two months ago, during an ultrasound for a routine check up. My gynecologist realized I was having twins.
“O My….Twins?” I asked with my eyes watering staring at the monitor.
“Yes sweetie. Turns out your little bundle of joy was hiding her sister or brother. Listen..” My heart melted at the sound of two heartbeats and my tears threatened to fall.
“Congratulations. You're going to have two beautiful twins.” I was uncertain how I was going to handle two babies, but at the moment that was the least of my worries. I was simply gladdened by the thought of having two children who would love me so much, unconditionally, whom I will love just as much.
I was excited to meet them.
It was two days to my due date and I have been feeling so exhausted and frustrated. I could barely even sleep which is why since 3am, I have been up. I struggled to exercise for about an hour then proceeded to the kitchen to grab about ten different snacks and some leftover food from last night. I walked into my kids nursery coated in blue and pink, in hopes that I would have a boy and girl who looked exactly like me.
I mean, don't I deserve that after carrying them for nine months while going through so much weird cravings, pains, thoughts of anxiety.
About three months ago, I found myself crying in the bathroom and almost dialing Ross's number to call him and inform about his kids and tell him about my weird cravings. Luckily, Evelyn was around and she slapped my phone off my hand.
“Evelyn, what are you doing?” I wiped my tears and sniffled following her out of the bathroom.
“You were in there for too long so I got scared and decided to check up on you. And as luck would have it, I found you at the right time.” I pursed my lips and exhaled deeply.
“Just hand me my phone. I was just caught up in the moment.” I spoke seriously, cleaning my face but she looked at me skeptical.
“I will be with your phone for about five minutes. Don't worry you're going to thank me for this later.” She said then ran out of my room like a child and I chuckled weakly shaking my head at her.
I was currently living with a maid, a driver and a housekeeper. The duplex was surrounded with about five security men and that was all. My neighbors were also really nice. Right in front of my house was a newly wed couple who were always so happy and friendly, Gary and Cara. They had just moved to the country as well and based on what Cara had told me during their house warming about three months ago. Gary's family owned a huge chocolate factory which is why they were wealthy. She was such an energetic person, and she was just as excited as Evelyn for me to have my bundle of joys.
I took a seat in my study/small office and I found myself designing trying to drown the thoughts and imagination of my kids hating me about their father, having complications during their birth, losing one of them during labor.
Designing had been so therapeutic, I coloured and drew dresses and outfits for women and kids, Evelyn had complimented it every single time. Unbeknownst to any one, I had been making big plans on my creativity.
After designing about five dresses and kids clothing and feeling different pains which were somewhat bearable, I was startled by the voice of my housekeeper.
“Oh My Goodness, Miss Williams. I have been searching for you all morning.” I squinted my eyes as she opened the curtains and it was then I realized the day had broken.
I had changed my name to Catherine Williams and also in all my identification information. Williams after my mother's original surname and Catherine just seemed like a classy name. Plus I loved how people in this country pronounced it. My physical appearance had not changed so much, due to moving in and all except my fat weight and round big stomach.
My housekeeper, Miss Mary, was a woman in her fifties, who was agile and ready to work. She was so caring and treated me like her granddaughter. I was so appreciative that the Creator was surrounding me with people who actually cared and loved me.
“You still couldn't sleep?” I shook my head ‘no’ blinking repeatedly and she pouted.
“I was certain the tea was going to work, your little babies are really so stubborn.” We both shared a chuckle and she was right. Their kicks and how big I had gotten couldn't let me sleep comfortably.
“Go freshen up. I made some delicious breakfast.” I hummed in response to her word and stared at the red ball gown I was designing then closed the book. I rose up from the chair slowly and she assisted me due to my heavy weight.
As I walked away, I stopped when I felt water splash on my feet. I looked down, I stared back at Miss Mary who looked at me with wide eyes.
“Did your…” She stammered and I nodded repeatedly.
