Book:One Sided Love Published:2024-6-3

Kate
I woke up … then check the time and went to Emma’s room since its, weekend so no school for Emma today…. I went to my Emma, kissed her head and sing loudly
‘ HAPPY BIRTHDAY EMMA… HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU’
Emma opened her beautiful eyes giving me a big smile
‘ mama …. today im threewwww’ she screamed with excited
I laughed and said ‘ oh you are so big… now you can go to office or even drive a car’
Emma giggled ‘ mama… I’m not that big … but may be next birthday I will’
I laughed at her response then I found Alex also standing there laughing.
Alex sit in Emma’s bed he picked her up and kissed her cheeks  ‘ HAPPY BIRTHDAY baby’
Emma said ‘ Thank you daddy… now my gift’
He smirks ‘ well that’s a surprised … you will get at your birthday party’
I looked at them admirably and told them I’m gonna make Emma’s favourite breakfast chocolate pancakes.
When I went out of Emma’s room…. I looked towards Aria nursery … normally at this time she is awake… I become worried that may be she is really sick… I open her room and found her to be awake, but she was playing with her rattle and chewing that poor thing…
I picked her up and kissed her rosy chubby cheeks… she is normally very active but now she looked a little weak and little hot…. I took her to the kitchen to put her in baby chair ‘ my baby is hungry… we are going to try something new’
She I almost 8 months old so we are trying new solid food
She grumbled while chewing her little fist ‘ta ta.. bubiidi’
These are her favourite words … when break fast was ready I put it in the dinning room … Emma was playing with Aria… both my girls can’t stay away from each other for one minute… I told Emma to sit in her chair… Alex came after few seconds holding his newspaper… after it to the side he grabs some pancakes and puts some in some Emma’s plates and on his
when Aria saw Alex she giggled ‘ tah tah ‘ and waved her both hands in air… I never understand her reaction when she saw Alex …
Alex for a minute stopped, then ignored her, that was reality slap on my face… I put food in front of Aria and kissed her head…
Emma was getting distracted again and again by Aria bubbling , she laughed at her words and made time offer her pancakes
Emma said ‘ Aria eat mine they are more yummy… here open your mouth’
Aria was opening her mouth and I found that funny, I laughed a little but Alex has a serious expression  ‘ Emma stay in your seat and finished your breakfast’
‘ but daddy…
‘ Emma. eat ‘ Alex said in his daddy voice
Emma just nodded…
I try to make Aria eat her food but she was getting cranky, after few bites she was not taking any more food… which I found to be little alarming … she has been doing this lately … then she vomited
Emma said ‘ eeeuuuu… Aria … I cant eat now’
I picked Aria ‘ oh baby …. what’s wrong ‘
Alex ‘ Kate take her somewhere look because of her Emma stopped eating her breakfast ‘
I looked angry our daughter is sick and he is blaming Aria for it
I replied’ oh I’m so sorry to disturb… but she is clearly sick that’s why she threw up… don’t worry I’ll clean this  right now’
Alex looked guilty … but isn’t he is always and still he will do this again..
He said ‘ I thought she doesn’t want to eat that’s why she is doing this’
I replied ‘ Alex believe me she is not’
I left the room then went to my bathroom to clean her up… Aria was little hot right now, I knew she was not well… I called Martha to bring Aria’s stuff in my room … I went to prepare a bath for Aria… may be she feel better after that… bath time is Aria favourite…. but she was still crying … after bath I put her in my bed and dressed her …. I checked her forehead she was still hot…. I become worried and called my doctor
I said ‘ hello doctor this is Kate rRobbins here’
She replied ‘ Oh hello Kate … how are you?
‘ I’m good actually…. my daughter Aria is not well I think she is having a fever, she just has throw up her breakfast and I’m worried that something else might be wrong’
She replied ‘ well Aria must be 8 months old isn’t it… so may be she is teething …. but if her fever raised up more then bring her to me immediately cause I don’t want her to a reaction because of all a sudden fever OK’
I replied ‘ she is little hot … but OK I bring her to your office’
I looked my beautiful baby she was still shaking her hand feet in the air
Alex came up to my room and stops when he saw Aria was there too
I never brought Aria here when Alex is around… I picked her ‘ im just taking her to nursery’
Alex said ‘ I heard you talk with doctor…. what did she say … did you have take her?’
I was little shocked that he cares…. may be does but don’t want to show it…..
I replied ‘ I don’t know … doctor says that she might be teething that’s why she is cranky…. but if she gets fever I have to go to her’
Alex was now weirdly looking at Aria back… like he was checking her without touching…. may be Aria felt that his daddy is, around … she turned n looked at him with pout n said ‘ ta ta.. bubbi’ n she was throwing her hands to Alex … like she wants him to hold her
Alex looked extremely uncomfortable…. but I can’t stop myself ‘ you can hold her’
Alex flinched ‘ Kate … I’m not here to act as jerk but you now I won’t… so don’t hope… I’m going to meet Shawn there is some issue I will come back in evening … make sure everything is in order for party…’
Now the moody Alex is back, I tell him ‘you will be not disappointed’
He looked strangely at me’ I know… I trust you’
Alex
I was sitting in Shawn office but my mind keep going to Kate and Aria….. today when she was throwing her little body towards me… all I want to do picked her and checked if she is OK or not… but I can’t … I won’t … Emma is my everything…
Shawn said something ‘ Dude where is your mind… what’s wrong’
I replied ‘ Nothing just thinking about tonight party … I wish Emily can see how big is Emma now’
Shawn give me sad smile ‘ I know dude its difficult but I m sure she is happy right now when she see how Kate is taking care of Emma. …. more than her own child… you are really lucky to have her’
Kate… damn Kate… she is the reason if I find this life to be little meaningful
I stay quite but then Shawn say ‘ so have you thought about changing your family will and pre-nuptial agreement’
I abruptly looked at him ‘ and why would I do that’
He replied ‘ man … I know things have changed between Kate you… so you should think about it at least’
I replied ‘ no … I won’t change a thing….. what I said before I’m saying this again I don’t love Kate nor that … her child … so let it be the way is…. ‘
Shawn angrily said ‘ you are an arsehole. … can’t you see that women has been sacrificing for you so many things…. then you can’t accept her but also say shit about her… I mean your child…. dude one day you will regret all of this I’m telling you’
I replied ‘ its my life , my problem and my business to deal with…. so leave it ‘
Shawn glare me he said nothing.
I told Shawn that I’m going to pick Emma’s cake … he should come in time too…
When I enter home I saw the garden was beautifully decorated in unicorn theme… I saw some of Emma’s school friends are also there… so guest have been coming… I looked around to see where is tKate … I saw her with Rachel …. Kate was laughing at something Rachel had said to her and I found that her laugh to be doing strange things to me especially my manhood… and hell Kate was looking exceptionally beautiful in pink lace sun dress, her black hair was curl beautiful …. dam Kate is one of a hell beautiful women… when I approached them I said ‘ Hello ladies … so what’s you all gossiping about’
Rachel laughed ‘ Nothing just now Kate was telling me how her admirer at gym was so heart broken when he knows Kate was married … you should see his face ‘
I felt a sudden anger… how dare he… Kate is mine… fuck where did that came from, she is my wife may be its right to feel possessive
I said ‘ really Kate never told me about her admirers at gym’
Kate looked embarrassed then blushed ‘ Alex Rachel is exaggerating nothing else… it was a guy at gym … I don’t even know about but when it, he just ask me out and then I told him that I was married’
At that time Rachel phone rings, she said she will take a minute
I said to Kate ‘so he even ask you out…. wow… are you really that naive ….. don’t you don’t know he was interested in you’
She looked really confused like she has no idea, then she smiled  ‘ Alex its nothing… you don’t have to be jealous … I clearly told him that there’s only one guy who make me happy inside out … its you’
There it is …. Kate is coming to love me… which I don’t want… because I can’t love her back
I said abruptly ‘ don’t be fool I’m not bit of jealous its I have some reputation in the city, I don’t want any one to see my wife with some other man or flirting with her… I will damage our name… which is totally unacceptable’
Kate flinched with my words like he slapped her…. she just awkwardly look ‘ yeah your right I will be careful next time…. I have pressed your today clothes you better get changed’
With that Kate’s beautiful smile was gone and up came a compose guarded expression….. what a idiot I’m why cant I stop hurting her…. she don’t deserve any of this shit I put her through…. dam true I was jealous but I don’t want to admit with her so I said shit… she doesn’t wait anymore and goes to attend other guests…
The whole party was incredible everyone enjoy …. Emma both grandparents brought a lot of gifts and other stuff for her…. Emma was delighted and so happy that it makes me very happy… it was my present time …
I said ‘ Emma. do you wanna see what’s your birthday present .?’
Emma said ‘ yes … daddy I waited for too long ‘
I laughed ‘ OK come…. on the count of one two n ..’
Emma jumped and hugged me when she saw I had brought a pony for her…. I have already planned this with Kate
Emma said ‘ thank you thank you daddy best birthday ever…. mama do you see that’
Kate smiled ‘ oh my such a beautiful pony it is… but you should have a beautiful riding dress, boots and all that other stuff too don’t you think?
Emma make oh face ‘ I don’t have that’
Kate said ‘ oh baby… open this box’
When Emma opensthe box it contains all the riding items, Emma laughed excitedly and hugged Kate  ‘ you are the best mama and daddy I got’
We laughed at her excitement….
After few hours when most of the guest were gone except for Shawn, Rachel and Kate’s parents …. I saw Shawn was holding Aria he was playing with her ‘ hi beautiful look at you… looking so pretty and cute in this pinky frock… and this head band …. girl are you trying to kill me’
Kate laughed at Shawn even my lips turned up..
Kate said ‘ don’t try to charm my daughter right now… when you’re soon to be wife standing next to you’
Shawn and Rachel laughed
Then Shawn said ‘ she looks warm Kate… is she well? I mean hopefully everything is OK ‘
Kate put her hands on Aria head ‘ I don’t know her body temperature gets normal at one time then it raises up…. may be I have to go and check with the doctor’
Shawn said I can take you to the doctor now ‘
Kate said ‘ It wont be necessary… may be she will get better tonight … but thanks’
I feel so guilty that I’m celebrating one childs birthday and the other one is sick, Im not even checking her… but I can’t
Shawn I went to the office… since upcoming days a mega project is going to signed I need some legal advice
Kate was in kitchen I told her I’m in office with Shawn for a time…
She said without looking ‘ OK tell me if you need anything’
Shit she is still angry about things I Said… I have to make up her with tonight the only way I know.
