Davina's POV
I looked at my kids playing with their uncle.I feel like I have been separated from them for so long although it's only a week now.I just want to hold them in my arms and stay like that forever.
Ian has a special soft corner towards Asher as he is a spitting image of him with the same blue eyes that is our family trait.This is what happens when you spent time seeing your brother's face during your pregnancy.But Alyssa...she is the biggest surprise and shock I gave birth to...she too had blue eyes like me but she decided to look like her big sister Amanda simply to torture me.I carried them in my womb for 9 months and they decided to look like someone else other than their own mom.And now I couldn't hate Amanda as well.Should I laugh or cry at what my life has come to?I just wonder how David will react when he comes to know of Asher and Alyssa.Will he accept them or will he hate them?
"What is the reason for your resentment towards David Sweetie?,my mom asked me.
Or is there any reason at all?You were both played by fate.You don't hate him ...you are just scared of the repercussions.You are scared to get hurt again.And as your mother I know you inside out.You resent him because he was not there for you during the most vulnerable time you went through...I have seen you crying for him all through your pregnancy and after child birth.You just wished in your heart that he was there for you at that time.No dear...I won't blame you for that...pregnancy is a time when a woman craves for her husband's affection without caring whether he is good or bad.Even if the whole world is there to take care of you,you will still yearn for the affection and care of your husband.Though you were in misunderstanding at that time ,yet some part of your heart didn't want to believe all those fake proofs that were shown to you against David.When you learnt the truth,you wanted to go back to him,but your dad emotionally blackmailed you and you started resenting him as you blamed him for all that happened to you and turned yourself into a cold hearted person.But the truth is ,you are scared that since you are both divorced, he will not accept Asher and Alyssa if he gets to know about them.You are scared of his rejection and you have made up your mind that he will not accept the kids because of his past behaviour".
"And considering David...I only feel pity for him.I know he had made mistakes in the past,but atleast he is trying to redeem himself which is a good sign.There is a saying never marry a man who you love but rather marry a man who loves you and I know he loves you",my mom continued her viewpoint bringing me out of my thoughts.
"How do you know that mom?",I asked her softly.
"Because no man can remain faithful to a woman unless he loves her unconditionally.And David's fidelity shows that he loved and loves you only.Because, even after your fake death he had remained faithful for you.If you don't believe me ask your brother.He has been in close contact with David for the past two years.And if you dont believe him ,you can always check the write ups on David for the past 4 years,after all he is a famous actor",my mom concluded.
"I know mom..."I said to her meekly because all these years I have read every news related to him because eventhough I acted like I didn't care about him,I wanted to know whether he had moved on in his life.And I was pretty much content in my mind that he didn't date anyone in the past four years.
"Mom...How could you accept him as a famous actor when you said I'm more famous than him?",Ian fake glared at mom.
"Son...but it's the bitter truth...you have to work harder to reach his position..but you will be my all time favourite actor",she comforted Ian.
"Liar...I know David is your favourite actor.You are just trying to butter me up",Ian announced narrowing his eyes on mom
"What?",I was amazed at the revelation.
"Well cupcake...Why do you think you had a crush on David from childhood?.It's all Mrs.Delilah Knights fault.She used to fangirl him while you were still in her womb",he said laughing his head off.
"Really mom..Is he your favourite actor?",I asked her curiously.
"What is wrong with you fellas? Can't I have a favourite actor...Do you think I'm boring like your dad?",she said in an annoyed tone.
"No you are not...but David?I'm amazed ..did you want to marry him?", I teased her.
"Ewww...no...I was already in love with your dad and David was just a teen actor at that time.But he had good acting skills.And I liked to piss off your dad by watching his movies. And one more thing sweetie...my husband is more handsome than yours",she chuckled.
"No David is more handsome",I involuntarily replied.
"Listen ladies ...the only handsome actor in both of your life is me" ,Ian announced to us.
"Wishful thinking"...we both replied together.
We continued teasing each other for some more time and then I decided to check on Isabella who was taking more time in the kitchen.My sister in law is so precious to me as she and Damien were the ones who mostly took care of my munchkins while I was suffering from post partum depression.
Damien may look like an angry arrogant man,but he loves his family and his wife endlessly.It was love at first sight for him as is the case with every male in our family.And he married her knowing that the chances of her conceiving a child was less.Isabella was in an accident while they were still courting each other which damaged her uterus to some extent.But my brother hid that fact from her and marrried her the day she was out of the hospital.And he arrogantly declared that he don't want kids in their life as kids would ruin the love and understanding between them.Initially Isabella fought with him,but later on she discovered that she was incapable of being a mother which made her want to leave Damien.But my arrogant brother never let her go and when dad decided my marriage with Darian and Isabella protested,he moved out of the house to his penthouse along with my kids.I too let my kids be with them because it was the least I could do to help a heartbroken Isabella who stood beside me like a pillar when I was going through hard times.
I walked inside the kitchen to see my sister in law sitting on a chair resting her head on the kitchen counter.
"Isa ...What's wrong?Did my monsters trouble you?"
"I-I...I think I'm pregnant",she was a crying mess.
"Really...wow ...then why are you crying...Wait did you confirm it?"
"I checked ten times and all of them are positive",she said showing me the pregnancy strip she was holding in her hands.
"Yeah...I'm going to have a niece and I want you to change your phone wallpaper to my photo and look at it daily so that she looks just like me"...I said dreamily hugging her.
"What if it's a boy?",she queried.
"I don't care but he has to look like me"..I said pulling her cheeks.
"Did you tell Damien?",I asked her and she nodded in negative.
"No...I'm scared..What if this is just a dream?".
"My dear sister in law...don't be scared...you and Damien deserve this baby.I know you will have a lot of worries..but you are strong enough to deal with all those and we all are here for you.And what is Damien for?Now buckle up to torture him with your pregnancy tantrums".I said cheering her up.
"And come now...let's surprise your mother in law and Ian with this good news",I said standing up and lightly dragging her wih me to the living room.
"Isa...what happened to you?Is everything alright sweetie",my mom enquired seeing Isa's flushed condition.
"No"...she started crying hugging my mom.
"Did you say something to her to make her cry?",my mom narrowed her eyes at me.
"What?... Why are you blaming me?Blame your sweet Dami...he is the sole reason for her tears",I counter attacked her smirking.
"What ?..Damien?...he is so going to die today...How dare he make my daughter cry?Tell me sweetie ...what did he do now?I will punish him"...my mom comforted her.
"Ewww...I would never ever want to know what he did and I would advice you mom to refrain from asking her what he actually did to make her this hormonal"..I said hiding my urge to laugh out loud.
"Hormonal?...Wait...are you pregnant?",my mom asked holding her chin.
"Yes"...she said shyly,blushing.
"Oh I'm so happy for you both Isa.Congrats dear",my mom hugged her affectionately.
"Really Isa...Congratulations...I'm going to be an Uncle again...I wish he or she had my features",Ian beamed happily.
"You wish...this time my niece is going to look like me ,not ugly like you",I spat at my favourite brother.
"Excuse me ...I'm the handsomest man on earth and it is good for my niece or nephew to have my good looks.Who knows he or she is going to be a future super star.So as I said it is important for them to have good looks just like me .See my nephew Asher looks handsome just like me",he declared his self obsession.
"You look like a chicken...and you are a delusional narcissist ...it's my first time becoming an aunt..so it's fair enough for the baby to look gorgeous like me",I spat back at him.
"Mom...she called you a chicken...everyone knows I look like you so she indirectly insulted you",he said showing me his tongue.
"Mom ...he is plotting to turn you against me and the truth is he is just a second hero"...I said throwing a cushion at him.
"Mom...she is insulting me"...Ian said showing fake tears.
"Mom he is just acting",I said glaring at his fake acting.
"Stop it both of you before I throw you both out...Are you kindergarten kids?..complaining for silly things",she said angrily looking at our childish antics.
"Mom...you don't love me like before"...my brother satrted his melodrama.
"Why should I love you?You are old enough...go find someone to love you and stop burdening me.It's high time you get a life",my mom mocked Ian.
"Well mom...consider your burden is lessened ...He found the love of his life"...I announced making Ian go pale while mom and Isa looked like they got some candy.
"Really...who is she Ian...I'm really happy for you",both of them yelled happily.
"Her name is Della"...,I said winking my eyes.
"Della...I like her already",my mom said happily.
"Mom she is just teasing me...Della doesn't like me...it's her sister Rebecca who likes me",he defended himself.
"Huh...are you in some love triangle?...here I was praying to god to give you a love and he granted me my wish by giving you two love interests",my mom teased Ian.
"Della...her name starts with D...so dad will definitely like her" ,Isabella remarked.
"Does that mean dad will have to approve David as well as his name also starts with a D?",Ian spoke laughing his ass off.
"That's so true...why didn't I think of this before?Now come on let's go and blackmail your dad emotionally with the letter D as in D for David...goes well with the family",my mom suggested with a wicked smile.
"What?...my dad is not obsessed with the letter D.He approved of Isabella ,right...Don't trouble him unnecessarily",I supported my dad.
"Wow...Now I can see what have I given birth to ...dad's lobbyist",my mom mocked me.
"Don't worry Vina...I will not trouble your precious dad...but today is a new and happy day for all of us...and I really hope you forget all the old resentments and disappointments in your old life and move ahead towards a new beginning forgiving and forgetting the past.It is upto you to decide your life.But whatever you decide...you still have to let David know about Asher and Alyssa...because as their father he definitely have a right to know about his kids",she adviced me.
"My mom is right...maybe it's time for me to take a decision..as she said it's time for a new beginning towards a happy life.And most importantly for my kids to know their father.It's time to let go off my worries,my resentments and disappointments.As she said it's truly a happy day today which had brought a lovely change in Isa's and Damien's life and also in our lives too.Maybe ...Maybe this time me and David will definitely get a true happy ending",I thought deciding to let David know the truth about Asher and Alyssa.
