Chapter 227
Nicol
As soon as Nicolas was off the phone, I asked him “What happened?” “Anton went to the hospital.” “Oh no please tell me he didn’t see her.” “No Luther went there just after I called him, they got her and Nicolene out before Anton could get to the maternity ward.” “Oh, thank God.” “Where are they now?” “At Luther’s place, JP is there as well.” “Oh good.” Geoffrey changed directions and we were off to Luther’s place he was also staying in an apartment building with heavy security which was good considering Anton is out on bail. When we got to the doorman he still had to announced us to Luther before we could even get to the elevator. I have to add that the doorman did know Nicolas but he didn’t just let us in. He did however help us to get everything out of the car and into the elevator. When we got in the elevator Nicolas pressed in a code and we went straight up to the penthouse. When the doors opened, I was stunned by how beautiful Luther’s place looked yes it was the polar opposite than Nicolas, Nicolas liked his beige and white colors whereas Luther was into the dark colors, dark wood furniture, even the couches was of a dark material. It wasn’t my taste but it suited Luther to a T. “Hi Nicol.” Luther said as he came walking to me taking the 2 bags I had in my hands. “Luther, I like your place.” “Not to dark?” He asked smiling at me. “It suits you.” That made him laugh.
We were in the living room with everything we grabbed from Mia’s place when she and JP came walking out one of the bedrooms. She was holding Nicolene but I could see she was still hurting. I walked to her. “Hi Mia.” “Nicol so nice to see you.” “You to, how are you feeling?” “I’m okay now, did you hear Anton came to the hospital?” “I did.” “How did you feel about that?” “I was scared but Luther and JP got us out of there very quickly which I appreciated.” “That’s good, can I take Nicolene from you.” She looked at me not sure if she should. “I’ll stay with you the whole time.” That’s when she gave me Nicolene. “Come we want to show you something.” “Oh.” We walked to the living room where the men were still talking about Anton but as soon as they saw Mia they stopped. “What’s this?” She asked shocked. “Nicolas and I went to your place and grabbed as much as we could, we were scared Anton showed up while we were busy so I’m not sure we’ve got everything.” I told her. She immediately went to the suitcases we grabbed and packed we even used a black bag to throw some stuff in. She emptied the black bag on the coached and all Nicolene’s little clothes fell out, she touched the one thing after the other crying. I gave Nicolene to Luther because he was the closes to me and sat next to Mia. “Mia why are you crying.” I asked as I rubbed her back. “I never thought I’ll see this again I thought the stuff I bought her will be gone forever.” Then she started to cry even more this time uncontrollable. I tried to sooth her and tell her everything will be okay but she didn’t listen it was when Luther gave me Nicolene and sat next to Mia rubbing her back and whispering to her when she eventually started to calm down. “Nicolas, can you make us some tea please.” Luther ask. Nicolas didn’t say anything he just walked towards the kitchen with JP behind him. I stood there for a minute longer then I started to feel like I was intruding so I walked to the kitchen to where the others were.
Nicolene started to cry and fuss a bit. “Shhhh” I rocked her back and forth. “I think she’s hungry.” JP said. “Well, I can’t go in there now besides I don’t think after the shock Mia had today, she will have any milk.” Nicolas was searching through the cupboards of Luther’s kitchen then he went to the pantry he came out. “Will this work?” He asked with a container of formula in his hand. JP took it from him “Perfect there isn’t any bottles in there is there?” “Look for yourself.” JP walked in and all I heard was “Oh my God.” “What?” I asked as I walked into the pantry as well. Luther, had all sorts of formula, a few types of bottles and even solid foods already in the pantry. “When?” I asked Nicolas “I’m sure he did it yesterday, his even busy painting a room for Nicolene here.” Nicolas touched her cheek while speaking to me; it actually looked like she was smiling at him. He just smiled back leaned into me and whispered “I can’t wait for you to hold our baby like this. It suits you.” “Just another 8 months.” I smiled at him.
JP was busy making a bottle for Nicolene and Nicolas started with the tea, I totally get why Luther wanted tea for Mia I would have suggested it to. Caffeine just might make her a bit more anxious. JP gave me the bottle while I took a seat, it was touch and go there for a second, I mean this will be the first time Nicolene taste something other than her mothers milk but after a few minutes she latched onto the bottle and started to drink. JP took the tea out to Mia and Luther while I was feeding the baby.
Nicolas
Seeing Nicol with the baby melted my heart I couldn’t wait until ours where born. But it was also bitter sweet because I saw what I missed out on with Nikki. I know I can’t blame her but deep down there was a sadness still. I went to sit with her while she fed Nicolene. “Can I try?” I asked Nicol. “Yes, off course.” She gave me Nicolene and when I was comfortable with her, I gave her the bottle, I couldn’t take my eyes of her she was so beautiful. I’m a man that will do anything for his child but with Nicolene I really hoped Mia will fight for full custody of Nicolene I for one don’t want him near Nicolene not for a second. But it was not my choice I can just tell Luther what I thought.
