Noah Singleton was throwing a fit and nothing his mother said or did could calm him down. "I wanna go to school with Violet! Why can't I?" He had already asked some iteration of this question a hundred times. Jennica sighed. Sometimes she wondered if she needed to separate those two more often for their own good. But Keeley was like her sister so of course she wanted to spend time with her whenever possible. Her son had gotten used to having Violet and Kaleb over for nine hours a day over the past…
-
The next two months were the most physically miserable Keeley ever experienced in either of her lives. When she underwent that unethical abortion and surgery in her first life it took about the same amount of time to fully recover but she wasn't dealing with a broken leg or three children who needed her. Aaron ended up hiring her a home nurse because she really couldn't move around with all of the stairs in their house. She was stuck in bed for pretty much everything except using the restroom. The…

Keeley was struggling to break through the haze of painkillers when she felt something warm and familiar. Somebody was kissing her. There was no one else on earth who would dare kiss her while she was unconscious but her husband. "Aaron?" she managed to ask despite the gumminess in her throat. His anxious yet relieved face swam in her vision but before he could respond, Violet's voice caught her attention. "I knew it! Daddy is a prince! Mommy woke up!" The twins scrambled over to her side from…

Keeley still hadn't woken up by the time a secretary brought Aaron his phone. He texted Alice to let her know he wouldn't be back until she was conscious. She replied that Jennica had taken the kids because they didn't handle the news that their mother was in the hospital well. He sighed heavily. Of course they hadn't. Keeley was the best mother in the whole world and the twins idolized her. Aaron really should go check on the kids but he couldn't bear to leave his wife when she looked so…

Jennica nursed Logan on a park bench as she kept a close eye on the three children playing on the playground. Kaleb, normally one to wander off with new friends, stuck close to his sister's side as they dug around in the sand. Her heart ached at the thought. He was being overprotective of his sister since news about his mom was up in the air. Poor kid. She couldn't blame Alice for bungling things though; sometimes kids got ideas that refused to go away by reading between the lines. Violet was an…

Kaleb, back in the living room, heard his sister's cries and rushed back in to check on her. "Vi, what's wrong?" "Mommy's going to die and Auntie Alice won't let me see her!" Violet shrieked. Whoa, nobody said anything about dying? How did the kid immediately jump to that conclusion?! Alice couldn't help but wonder how Keeley managed to parent this girl. She was something else. Violet was normally so well-behaved too. Crocodile tears filled Kaleb's eyes. "Mommy's going to die? What about the baby…

"Come on, you know me. I'm a steel vault of secrets. But uh…you knew me before, didn't you? In your other life," Aiden deduced. It was fairly obvious now how Aaron knew enough about his illegal exploits to bribe him into becoming his eyes and ears when he was still a kid. Aaron nodded. "I met you in 2020. You hacked into a video feed that proved Lacy Knighton murdered her accomplice Max and she ended up dying in prison. I figured it was better to get you onboard early to help me out with my plans…

Aaron wasn't allowed to see his wife yet so they went to the area where newborns were lined up in little glass-sided beds so he could meet his son. He was still kind of a wreck so Aiden asked for him, briefly explaining the situation to the nurse. The woman looked incredibly sympathetic and let them in after making them sanitize their hands and put on thin cloth gowns over their clothes. "Your son is right here, Mr. Hale. Have you decided on a name yet?" "Oliver," Aaron said quietly as he gathered…
-
Aiden had NEVER seen his boss like this in all the years he had worked for him. He was honestly tempted to panic too at seeing such a stoic person sobbing like the world had ended. Well, for him it probably had. He knew better than any of Aaron's other friends how much his wife meant to him. The whole reason he even bothered taking over his father's company…the whole reason Aiden ended up working for him in the first place…was to take revenge for people who hurt Keeley in the past. He had always…
-
Aaron had tried and failed to concentrate on work all morning. He was too nervous about what day it was. He had been progressively more of a wreck since the beginning of May, feeling like his time with his wife was about to be cut short yet again. He knew it wasn't logical but he couldn't shake the feeling. He would be fine as soon as tomorrow came. Keeley would make it through the day exactly like her father had two years ago. As he logged onto the internet to check something for a report he was…
