UNTIL I MET YOU : CHAPTER 271 – 280
Six months later…
“Dear God, I wanna say that I’m grateful for everything that you’ve done for me. I wanna appreciate the fact that you looked after me and Gray Junior, I totally appreciate that. I’ve sinned against you, and I’m sorry. I just wanna ask the same favor I’ve been asking for the past six months. Please bring Gray back. I want him back…”
I sniffle and look down at my baby bump.
“His baby wants him back. Please. I know that he has done a lot of stuff. Bad stuff, yes, but please, he’s a good man. It’s been six months now, and I’m still asking you for this little favor. I want Gray back, please, God.”
I weep silently and bite my lip. I look up at Jesus on the cross and then down at my belly.
Dad walks beside me and wraps his arms around my shoulder to comfort me. He woke up from a coma five months ago, and Gray is still missing.
The first month, I always hoped. I’d stand opposite my transparent glass and wish he was here, cuddling me and maybe telling me how much I mean to him. But he didn’t show up.
I’ve prayed and hoped, and he’s still not back. Reid always reassures me that he will return, but sometimes I lose faith.
After Moskov’s death, Nick was buried properly, including Carl. Reid took control of the mob’s activities, and he and Alexa are now together. They are in love, and it’s nice that Reid cares a lot about her.
Mia was devastated when she found out her son was missing. She cried and traveled down to NYS just to make sure I was taking care of myself and eating.
I found out it’s a boy after three months, and it hurts that Gray wasn’t around to hear the news.
Leslie gave birth a few weeks ago, and it’s a girl. The baby is really cute, with blonde hair—obviously inherited from her dad.
I take a deep breath and turn to look at Dad. He smiles at me and pats my shoulders.
“You’re gonna be fine, alright?” he says.
“I’m not even sure about being fine. Honestly, I don’t even know what it feels like to be fine.” I sigh and run my hand down my stomach.
“I hate the fact that I missed how he was supposed to freak out when he found out I was pregnant. He wasn’t ready to have babies. He said he was gonna walk me down the aisle before making babies.”
I weep and wipe my eyes at once.
“It’s okay. You shouldn’t stop believing. Gray might be an asshole sometimes, but he’s a strong man and always will be. He’s gonna be back, I’m pretty sure of that.” Dad says and smiles at me.
“Thanks, Dad.”
“You’re welcome. Let’s get you home.”
I nod as he walks me out of the church.
We step outside, and Dad opens my car door for me. I slide inside the car, and he walks around to the driver’s seat. I lean against the car seat as he starts the engine.
We drive into the street as Dad turns on the radio.
Leslie’s mom actually apologized to me for everything she did. She forgave Leslie and took her back when she gave birth.
Dad parks the car outside my penthouse building, and I get out before he can think of opening my door for me.
“Still can’t believe you killed Moskov. That’s like really big news,” Dad says as we walk into the lobby.
“I was angry,” I say, and he chuckles.
“That was brave of you. I’m proud.”
I smile and nod.
The elevator arrives, and we enter. I cross my arms over my belly and lean against the wall.
“Are you planning on going back to college once you give birth?” he asks.
“I’d like to. I can quit online and just go back to college.”
“And the baby?” he asks.
I sigh and shrug.
“I don’t even know. Maybe I just need to continue and forget about college. I’m still shocked that I’m gonna be a mother soon. It’s a big shocker, considering the fact that Leslie got pregnant the same year too.”
“And it had to be Gray. A big shocker indeed.”
“You know, you should stop hating on each other.”
“I don’t hate Gray, I told you that. Still surprised that you fell in love with him, dated him, and also got pregnant for him. Since it’s a boy, you’re obviously gonna drop a younger version of Gray.” Dad says.
