22 Chapter 22
*Andy's POV*
Lydia has been very quiet since that day. I didn't dump her in jail instead she became a prisoner of the mansion once we called home. She had bodyguards everywhere. I wouldn't give her even a slim chance to run away with my heirs. She's carrying twins. I know she's very attached with the babies but it will still not change my decision that my children stays with me and she has to go. She's aware about that. I know it broke her but it's for the better. I already made some arrangements for her. She can go wherever and as far as she can and not empty handed. I'm paying her to stay away from my family. I'm not giving her any choice. She needs to go whether she likes it or not.
You can call me a man with a heart of stone. She did it to me. I trusted and loved her but look where I am right now. My children will grow without a mother because I couldn't trust her anymore. I found her reading bedtime story in the patio last night. She didn't notice I was there. I hid and watched her secretly. She's reading it with so much passion. She smiled every time the babies would kick as a response to her. It is such a genuine sight of joy and pure motherly love. If things were different, it should be the two of us doing that. And that I should be there every step of the way.
She finished reading the story and stared at the sky. Her hands feeling her stomach and started talking again. How I wish I am still here to show you both how beautiful the night sky is. And how gorgeous those stars are. I don't want to make any promises that I know I will never be able to fulfill it. Mommy only has a little time left to be with you. Her voice thick with loneliness. Her tears are falling like rain. But I hope you remember this night and maybe just maybe someday when you are old enough to wonder where I am. Just look up at the sky and mommy will try my best to shine the brightest so that you will see me.
What is she talking about? It's as if she's dying. Maybe it's just hormones. They said pregnant women tend to be more emotional. I shrugged my shoulders and ignored what I saw. My mind could be playing tricks on me. No one really knows.

*Lydia's POV*
Today, I am making a list of all my favorite things. I am writing it on the diary and captioned it. "Mommy's favorite things in the world". At least my babies would know what I like.
*Lydia's diary*
"Mommy's favorite things in the world"
1. My mom's apple pie (yes, that's right! They're simply the best.)
2. Sunrise (there's always another chance to do the right thing.)
3. Rain (it hid my tears when I'm lonely.)
4. Ice cream (well, who hates them? BUT don't eat too much and brush your teeth!)
5. Books (yeah, I'm hopeless romantic too.)
6. Tulips (they're just lovely.)
7. Purple (loved it.)
8. Vineyards (oh, what a wonderful sight!)

Well, there are still a lot of things I would like to tell you but I don't want to be a bore. So, I'll just tell what really makes me the happiest.
The day I found out that I was pregnant, I was so happy. It was the best and the happiest moment of my life. Both of you are my life. I will never regret having you. And even if it takes my life I would never ever hesitate to do it over and over again. Remember that I love you. And I'll always watch over you. Love and protect each other. Be kind and humble. Live your dreams. And listen to your daddy. He will be the one to guide and take care of you. I know he loved the both of you just like the way I love you. Make him proud. I think this is all I want to say for now.

P.S..
Even if you don't see me. I'll always be in your hearts as you are in mine.
Love, Mommy.

Writing those things is quite heartbreaking. I just don't know. I have a very bad feeling that I am not going to make it. I am very weak right now. I only have three weeks before my projected due date. I'm using make up to cover my pale face. I tried my best to act normal. Although, most of the times I'm just staying inside the room. I guess hoping that Andy would come back to me is very far from reality now. I'll just have to spend the time I have left to make sure the twins are fine and I'm off to go. This time, for good...
