Chapter 124 - Stella 6 (2/2)

” Theo, listen to me. It's best if you sleep in other room for the time being. You're not getting proper sleep.” My tone was louder than before since I want him to listen attentively.

” Hmm, still no.”

” I'm serious. It's good for you.” I yelled out loosing my temper. It's been happening a lot.

” Stella, please. You don't have to think about me. This is least I can do for you. I don't mind staying up all night. It's gonna be okay. I can handle this much.” Theo got up from the chair and embraced me into his arms. It's so warm, filled with affection. My anger has melted away. You can see it flowing down from my eyes.

” I.... I just .... I really don't want to... see you in pain.” My throat went dry. I couldn't hold my tears.

” So do I. We are in this together. Right?” He ruffled my hair, making a mess out of it.

” Mmmh.”

” Now smile or the baby will get sad too.” My mouth curved into a meek smile as he placed a kiss on my forehead. I guess it's gonna be okay. Because I have Theo with me.

Just like that we overcame the hardest moments of our lives. On 15 January my son Issac was born. He resembles me so much that I feel like I'm seeing myself. Although he has blonde hair like his father.  It's still kinda unbelievable to me that how this little life was inside me for nine months. Suddenly all those pain seems utterly worthless in front of him. If it's for him, I would go through any kind of thorny roads filled with anguish.

Maybe that's what gave me courage. Two years after Issac was born, I got pregnant again. It was unplanned but we were overjoyed. A new member was going to join us. In February, I was blessed with my second son, Asher.

But no, not anymore. I'm different from them. I won't repeat the same mistakes in my life. I will become a much better person for my children. They won't go through the same problems or the hardships that I had to see.

But I won't do what my parents did. I will make sure that they understand me.I just want to be there for my kids when they need me. I want them to think of me as a friend and share their troubles without any hesitation.

This small family of mine is completed. It's the best thing that ever happened to me. I wish to live this moment without any regrets.

I hope it's clarified to everyone that Theo never forced himself on Stella. He was unconscious but she eventually gave her consent because she also wanted it to happen. I really hate romanticising toxic relationships, abuse and forced sėx. So, I won't ever do that in my story. Some people didn't liked Theo. They thought him as cheater. But a person must have both good and bad sides. Unlike him I made Stella a loveable character. Meanwhile Theo is a mixture of both fictional and realistic character. Well it's my fault if I was unable to portray Theo's character properly. This was my first story therefore I'll try to improve on my writing.

Next is Ray's point of view
