Chapter 812: 812

Chapter 812: A home full of love and happiness

“Angela, what are you doing up there?” Eida shouted, surprised and shocked to see her standing on a stool, trying to reach something in the upper cabinet of the kitchen. “You should not be doing that. You should have called me.”

Hurriedly, she stepped closer to her and assisted her down before she fell to the floor and broke her back and neck. She doubted if Angela would survive such a fall in her fragile state.

“Don’t be overly dramatic. I can still climb the roof if I want to.” Her friend stubbornly said with a sweet smile on her lips as she sat on a chair at the dining table, slightly catching her breath.

How could anyone be mad at this woman when she made it impossible for everyone to do so with her adorable smile? Eida could only shake her head at her and her mischiefs.

Now, she understood why Evan was so crazy about her. You would love her even if you wanted to be mad at her. Anyway, she was just happy she had the chance to know this wonderful lady.

“Anyway, what are you looking for anyway?” Eida asked, hoping she could help. “Let me get it for you.” Then, her eyes searched the room. “Where is Bea?” She asked, looking for her nurse and assistant.

“She went to buy a few ingredients for me,” Angela answered the mystery of the missing woman. “And I was looking for a baking pan. I think I saw Amelia placed it in there.” Pointing to a top cabinet where they kept the most unused kitchenware.

.....

“I wanted to bake something for you guys before Amelia leaves,” Angela added, which explained why she was making a fuss.

She made a mental note to put everything Angela needed on the lower counters and cabinets so she would not need to climb up to reach for anything next time.

She did not want anything to happen to her when no one was looking. She was lucky that she had no work today, or Angela would have been alone. She dreaded what could have happened to her if she did not find her in time.

“I know you have been independent for a long time.” She had heard that she had lived alone since Evan had left her. “But we are here to help each other.” She reminded her that asking for help was ok. Maybe it was time she also said that to herself.

She reached for the pan and the other things Angela needed, helping her in the kitchen. She might not know anything about cooking, but she could still help if Angela gave her instructions.

Besides, she should learn more about household chores now that she was about to become a mother.

“I know this is not my business, but living alone is difficult. It can be lonesome most of the time. Raising a child, especially on your own, would not be a walk in the park.” Angela turned to her, reminding her too that she was not alone.

She believed Angela would know what she was talking about since it was based on her experience when she raised Evan. But she would not be completely alone because she would have her friends to help her.

Although she had to admit there would be some point when it would be just her and her child. Eventually, she could not depend on them forever. She hoped she would be ready by that time.

“I know that. I appreciate that you are here to help us out. At least help me out because I know I will be lost if it was just me, raising this baby.” She finally admitted her fear.

She believed she would need guidance from someone who already had been through the same experience. She might have acted tough all her life, living her independent life, but when it came to this baby, she trembled in anxiety and fear of the unknown.

She worried about how she would raise this child. She was afraid that she would not be a good mother and end up messing up her child’s life.

“Don’t worry. It is why I am here. Besides, it is nice to be needed again.” Angela pulled her into a reassuring hug. “You will be alright.”

Then, someone clearing her throat interrupted their moment. “Is everything ok here?” Finally, Amelia walked to the kitchen, raising her eyebrows at the two of them.

“Yeah, I am just helping Angela with her baking.” Eida quickly answered, finally letting go of Angela. But her friend did not look convinced.

Still, she did not want Amelia to worry about them and cancel her trip because of them. She could already see that her friend was packed up and ready to leave.

“Are you sure the two of you will be fine without me?” Amelia again asked, suddenly hesitating to go.

Amelia’s friend called her last night, asking if she could assist in a fundraising event. She usually volunteered to help in such activities, but now she was reluctant to leave them, wondering if they would be ok for a few days without her.

Although Evan was due to arrive on the weekend, Amelia seemed to prefer to watch them. So, she had to remind her that Bea was there to take care of them. It would not be just the two of them.

Besides, she believed that Amelia had already put her life on hold for her. It was time that she took a break and enjoyed doing what she loved to do, which was to help others, not just herself.

“Don’t worry about us. We are two big girls. Of course, we are going to be ok.” Angela answered as she continued to work on her baking, not at all bothered by her friend’s smothering.

Finally, Bea arrived with the recipes Angela needed. She could hear Amelia giving strict instructions for Bea to keep an eye on them while she was away.

Suddenly, she felt like Amelia was the mother hen who was finding it hard to leave her chicks. She could not help but smile at her friend’s thoughtfulness.

She was so lucky to have these two landing in her lap, worrying about her. Things had been easier for her because of them.

“Come on, Amelia. We will be just fine. Do what you love to do and save the world from starvation.” Eida pushed her friend to the door. She even helped her with her luggage.

“Wait!” Amelia shouted, stopping her. “My flight is still a few hours later. I don’t have to leave right away.” She complained, halting her from shoving her out of the door.

Honestly, she wanted her to leave immediately before she again changed her mind about going. Anyway, she just hoped she would not worry too much about them because she would need to learn how to care for herself and her baby at some point in time.

“I am sorry, I got carried away,” Eida responded with a laugh, which echoed inside the room.

“I can still help Angela with her dish before I leave,” Amelia told her, pushing her luggage to the side and walking back to the kitchen, where Angela was laughing with her private nurse.

It seemed that they were talking about something else when they suddenly stopped.

“What are you two laughing about?” Amelia asked Angela, who had a big grin on her face. Then, she turned her head to Bea, who remained silent, afraid to answer.

“You,” Angela tilted her face to stare at Amelia, looking away from what she was mixing, and admitted without hesitation.

But her smile did not vanish from her lips as if she found the situation amusing.

“Why?” Eida asked, curious about what was happening with Angela. “What is so funny?” Bea was still chuckling on the side as if they had some internal joke they were not sharing.

“We all know Amelia doesn’t want to leave. It had nothing to do with us. But I bet it had something to do with someone visiting on the weekend.” Angela teased her friend, which earned her a glare.

“Admit it. You are looking forward to Evan’s weekly visit. Now, you are afraid that you will miss him.” Angela continued teasing her.

“No, I am not. I could not care if Evan comes here or not.” Amelia quickly denied Angela’s taunting. “I am just concerned that you two would break your backs without me to stop you.”

In truth, Amelia had a point, but Angela seemed adamant about taunting her so she would leave and would not worry about them. At least that was what she thought was happening.

But watching the scene before her, it was funny to see them bickering like this. Somehow, it made the house alive and full of chaos. She knew it was nothing but a friendly bantering as they continued to bake, but she was enjoying it nonetheless.

Suddenly, she realized something. She wanted this for her child. She wished for her to grow up in this house, which was lively, noisy, and full of life.

She hoped she could give her unborn child not just a roof over her head but a home full of love and happiness, enough to fill her with whatever was lacking in her life.
