Chapter 16 - Happy birthday Helena

-5 months later-

March 23rd, 2026

Beck was waiting outside of hospital, it was 3:30 p.m right now, Helena went into labor one hour ago

And all what he was hearing was Helena's screams, he even offered Helena to be besides her while she's giving birth but she refused

And now here he is sitting in waiting room and waiting for results

After 30 minutes Helena's screams stopped, midwife came out from room with big smile on her face

"Congratulations daddy, it's a boy"

Beck quickly went inside room

When he entered in room he met with Helena holding small child in her arms

He grinned and sat next to Helena

"You did great. What are we going to name him?" He asked as his wife kept looking at their son

"Michael.."

Beck knew why she wanted to name their newborn son Michael. It was name of her father

His father-in-law

"How about we put that as middle name? How about Oliver Michael Nelson."

Helena scoffed she has cousin who's name Oliver and she didn't like him, he was mean and disgusting..

"I don't like that name–" she was cut off "it was my father's name."

She felt pity for Beck

"What happened to him?"

"Killed." He answered shortly

Long silence

"Do..do you want to hold him"

Beck's happy smile was back on his face, he took his son from his wife and put finger in Oliver's little hand. He squeezed his father finger

Beck didn't know he was crying until he felt tears going down his face

"You're okey?" Helena asked, Beck nodded "yes. Never better"

He turned back to look at his wife

"Thank you Helena..I love you" this time she could say there were emotions in his voice

"Um..welcome" but she couldn't say 'I love you back' not after what he have done

His smile slowly dropped when she didn't say 'I love you too'

He understood perfectly, but he was determined to make her fall in love with him again

Maybe he should give her little more freedom..

But then again what if she tries leave him again?

Midwife came in room and took baby for little examination

"What do I have to do to make you fall in love with me?"

"Nothing..."

"Helena, come on I gave you everything you wanted! My love, a family, I even let you talk with your father!!" Beck yelled in anger

"You gave that to other me. The real me only wants to be with her parents..but no you took that away too." she argued

"We're not going to have that conversation again. I told you before and I won't repeat myself ever again. You. Are. Mine." He hissed

"I. Don't. Care." She hissed back

Just then midwife returned their newborn baby to parents

"Let's not argue, let us enjoy our sweet moment with our newborn son"

-5 months later-

August 11th,2026

Oliver had 5 months now, and today was Helena's birthday.

Beck walked to Helena that moring and kissed her on neck making her winced on the process

"Hello darling" he greeted her

"Moring Beck" she greeted back

"Where is our little sunshine?"

"Sleeping" she answered him, she heard him purr

"Excellent, just enough time for us"

"Beck I'm not in mood. I got my period..."

"So you would sleep with me if you weren't?"

She sighed "yes. It's not like I have choice anyway"

This brought smile on his face

"I have present for you"

"What is it?"

"We're going to visit your father today"

Helena's eyes widened "really?!" She asked with happy voice

"Yes."

She hugged him and kissed him on the lips

"Thank you so much!" She pulled away and with big smile asked "when are we going?"

"Right after our boy wakes up"

-that afternoon-

They arrived in Helena's old home.

Nothing changed, everything was same just like in her dream

House was like new, untouched, without a single hole on creamy facade.

The gate was like new, bronze-brown.

Helena walked towards main door and rang.

Beck was right behind her with Oliver in his arms.

However no one opened the door

Helena frowned even Beck was confused

"Weird.." she said

She saw one of nightbors and walked towards them

"Miss! Miss!" She called until woman turned around

"Helena!" Woman ran towards her and hugged her, Helena was confused "um sorry who are you?"

Woman pulled away in shock "you..you don't remember me..?"

"No I'm sorry" she told her with sad smile

"I see...so you don't know..?"

"Know what?" Once again Helena was confused

"Your father died yesterday.."

In that moment her world shattered

Her only family was dead...

She had no one

"I'm really sorry Helena.."

"No it's okey, t-thank you for telling me..." She tried acting like she's fine but her voice betrayed her

She slowly walked towards Beck

"Let's go. Here is nothing left for me anymore" she said

Beck saw it, he saw she've lost the sparkle she had in her eyes

The sparkle he wanted to be gone for so long but now he felt guilty

"What did that woman told you" he asked when they were driving home

"It doesn't matter..."

When they arrived home the first thing Helena had done was went to their bedroom and cry

She locked door so Beck couldn't enter, she heard him banging on the door and screaming at her to open the door but she didn't care

She was unaware she fell a sleep

Oliver's cry woke her up, she walked towards his crib and saw Beck rocking him in his arms whispering

'shh it's okey, don't wake up your mommy'

"Beck" she called her husband

His attention was on her now

"Give him to me, you go and take some sleep.."

Beck put Oliver in Helena's arms and asked

"Are you going to tell me what happened?"

"Later" she dismissed

Beck nodded and went to bed.

-next morning-

While Helena was breasts feeding Oliver Beck asked

"What happened yesterday?"

Helena sighed knowing he won't let it go until she tells him

"My father...he died."

"I'm so sorry darling..." He hugged his wife and kissed top of her forehead

"That's it..I have no one besides you and Oliver..."

"I'm really sorry for your father Helen.." he whispered as she broke down again

But he wasn't sorry

- night before Helena's birthday-

"It's done boss. Michael Chand is elimited like you wanted"

Beck smirked wickedly

"Excellent."

He hung up to his assistant and smiled wickedly

"Happy birthday Helena"
