Hey, my name is Hope and believe it or not I have two families. By that I mean I ended up having a family with two different men but before you judge me let me tell you my story and how this all happened on accident... Let's start with back in my past.
Highschool is a difficult time for every teen since many don't know who they would become or what they wanted to do but I had it extremely rough because unlike everyone else who was able to choose their future I had mine played out right in front of me. You see my father Elijah Hansson was a successful businessman meaning that he wasn't around very often so it was mostly me and my mom, Rose Hansson at times but I wouldn't have it any other way. My mother was an amazing person she would always make time for me with us doing almost everything together from cooking, cleaning, and even playing games. She was my best friend and I loved her very much but there were days that she would also work since she didn't want to be a stay at home mom so during those days my dad would work from home. It was during one of these type of days that everything changed because on her way home my mom got into a car crash...she didn't survive. I remember that moment so clearly with those painful words finding their way out of the doctors mouth "I'm sorry for your loss" and with those words my entire word came crashing down. I couldn't think, I couldn't speak, I couldn't feel it was as though my soul had left my body and that began my journey as a sort of emotionless child.
You might be wondering where my father was doing in order to comfort me...well the answer to that was nothing he became completely engulfed into his work while ignoring the fact that his daughters eyes had gone dull with sadness and regret. I was as though he didn't care so neither did I...I started to not pay attention in school, start fights anytime I could, and shut everyone out. Of course my dad didn't care he was too busy keeping his business running and so I kept on with this behavior leaving me to be alone most times since no one wanted to be around an unstable mess like me. However once I reached 16 my father began to pay more attention to me and being as blunt as I am I asked him what was with this change in attitude turns out he was looking to marry me off to the Hao families son Jacob Hao which wasn't surprising seeing as all my old man cared about was his own companies gain. I didn't really care though I just went on with my life since it's not like being told this stirred up any emotion within me it was just another piece of information that I needed to live with and I was fine with this. But then one day I was smoking in the park and a person pulled the cigarette from my lips and little did I know then that this was the moment that my life would take a turn for a weird ride.
I said it once and I'll say it again with Khalil time really flew by, it seems like yesterday the we were attending our first few doctors appointments and getting our online classes set up. Now we have completed our online journey with me now being a week from 9 months pregnant it almost seems unreal to see that my stomach had grown to such an enormous size. Khalil wanted to be surprised of the baby's gender but I don't like surprises that much so I was in charge of planning the gender reveal. I'm not gonna spoil the surprise now but let's just say that I'll have the chance to use one of my favorite baby name choices. During our time in Florida Khalil and I made quite a few friends making keeping the baby's gender a secret a really difficult task especially since my girls really pressed me to get the gender out of me but all they got was teased as I spoke but caught myself before revealing the gender. For the baby reveal party I designed everything to be an outdoor barbeque type
The week went by in a blur of online school, paperwork discussing the matters of my trip, and packing. Jacob wasn't home the day of my departure because of an emergency that came up last minute so to make sure that he was aware of what I was up to I left him a little note. 'Work emergency have to travel out of state will be back when everything is sorted out' yeah I made sure not to give any specifics on the trip. As I took a taxi to Khalil's place I took the liberty of texting Mr. & Mrs. Hao along with Mr. Hansson about my trip that way they can't say that I was sneaking around again like with my trip to Miami. As the taxi pulled up at Khalil's house I saw him standing on the sidewalk surrounded by hundreds no maybe thousands of bags and I couldn't help laughing as the taxi drivers jaw fell open. "Please tell me that isn't your boyfriend" I continued to laugh as I gave the taxi driver an apologetic look "I'm so sorry!" After parking the driver went out to help Khalil put hi
For the next 2 months Khalil and I attended several doctor appointments and worked to get everything in order for the baby's arrival. Khalil's Mom and Lilac were a great help in this process as for how they found out well they overhead Khalil and I trying to figure out how we should tell them when they came for a surprise visit. I was expecting Khalil's Mom to be furious but it was the exact opposite as she jumped for joy and Lilac relentlessly rubbed my stomach. I really don't know what I would have done without her, she was the biggest help as she and Lilac accompanied us to shop, appointments, and just to receive advice from physicians on how to keep fit during my pregnancy. I have to say that Khalil was probably taking this whole pregnancy situation more serious than me with him buying heaps of baby formula even though I was still 7 months away from giving birth, signing up for father to be classes, and even taking some short doctoring courses all of which I found adorable.
For the next few weeks Jacob and I attended several meetings with our parents in order to sort out the legal matters concerning our marriage. The only remotely acceptable part of the agreement is that despite this union I am still the sole beneficiary of Mr. Hansson's company so at least I would have something of my own in this whole merge. During these days Jacob attempted to get close to me by taking me on dates, proposing movie nights, and a bunch of other romantic activities but I dodged it all and made it clear more than a million of times that this was purely business and I held no romantic feelings towards him. He even stooped as low as to try and get our parents to promote such behavior but whenever this would happen I would just put myself into a daze until they were done and ready to proceed with more important matters. Somewhere near the end of the legal procedures I began to experience morning sickness but seeing as I was under pressing amounts of stress I just dismi
As I neared the apartment I began to be overwhelmed with dread and this gut retching feeling that I was in for a huge problem. Turns out I was right and probably shouldn't have even opened the door cause the moment I did I was met by the dissatisfied looks on not only Jacob's face but also those of both our parents. My Father was the first to speak as he gave me a cold glare that made chills run down my spine "Well if it isn't my dear daughter it seems you have been making some irresponsible choices during the time we've been apart" as he said this Jacob's Father Daverick Hao cleared his throat making me certain that he would speak next. "Yes, and it would seem my son may also be at fault for your recent actions as he has informed us of your past plans" My eyes widened as I shot Logan a cold stare before turning back to face his Father "So? You know that we didn't want to get married if anything that should make you want to cancel-" but before I could finish Jacob's Mom cut in "
After walking for a few minutes we finally reached the hotel's entrance where we all stood in amazement. The building was almost 50 stories high, engravings that covered the series of pillars, and an illuminated sign that read 'Le Croissant-Lune'. Khalil's Mom went ahead to check us in and get the keys to our rooms with Khalil following closely behind since he knew that she would need help leaving me and Lilac in the lobby. "Hope, what does that sign mean? Is it a desert?" I chuckled as I bent down to pat her head "No, its French and it mean 'The Crescent Moon' which could very well be a desert. I mean I would definitely eat it." Lilac started to burst out laughing and soon enough we ended up strolled around the lobby since she got bored of staying in one place until Khalil and his Mom got back with the keys.Eventually Khalil and his Mom came back and the four of us separated to get settled in our rooms with Lilac staying with her mom and Khalil wi
