David stood at the front door, pulling on his jacket, keys in hand. He glanced over his shoulder, ready to call out a quick goodbye to Lulu before heading out to meet Steven. His hand stopped, mid-air, as he spotted her curled up on the couch. She looked pale, the blanket pulled tight around her sma
David stared at her for a moment, his breath catching in his throat. The words replayed in his mind, slow and heavy: I think I might be pregnant. His heart pounded, but then he moved quickly, wrapping his arms around her, pulling her close. “Are you sure?” His voice was soft, but there was a hint o
Lulu sat frozen for a moment, staring at the doctor. The words you’re pregnant hung in the air, and David kept his hand on hers, watching her closely. He didn’t say anything at first, just waiting for her to react. Then, suddenly, Lulu broke into tears. Her face crumpled, and she pressed her hands
The next day at work, David walked into the office feeling a little lighter. He hadn’t slept much, but his mind was still spinning from the news. He couldn’t stop thinking about Lulu, about the baby. But he had to focus on work now. As he moved toward his desk, he saw Mirabel sitting across from hi
David sat at his desk, his mind far away from work. He couldn’t stop thinking about Isaac. He kept picturing the boy’s face, wondering what he looked like now. Ten years. It had been ten years since Mirabel and David had gone their separate ways, and Isaac had grown up all that time without him. Ho
David’s phone rang as he was speeding toward the hospital. He glanced at the screen—it was Lulu. He quickly answered, still focused on the road. “David?” Lulu’s voice sounded rushed. “Hey, Lulu,” David said, his voice calm but urgent. “What’s up?” “Tina’s in labor!” she said quickly. “I’m heading
“You okay?” David asked, walking over to her. Lulu nodded but didn’t look up. “Yeah, just… you know. Hospitals make me nervous.” David frowned, sitting down beside her. “Why? What’s making you nervous?” Lulu sighed softly, glancing at Sage, who was now playing with her shoes. “It just reminds me
David, Lulu, Steven, and Tina stood outside the hospital, breathing in the cool night air. Tina held her newborn baby girl in her arms, her face glowing with happiness. “Ready to head home?” David asked, looking over at Steven. Steven nodded, though he looked a little exhausted. “Yeah, let’s go ho
Lulu smiled at the sight of her two favorite people playing together. She joined them, helping Sage grab small handfuls of sand. “Look, Sage! We’re building a castle for you.” As they worked together, their laughter filled the air. It was a beautiful moment, one Lulu would always cherish. “Okay, S
After Tina and Steven left, David and Lulu lay on the couch, wrapped in each other’s arms. The afternoon sun streamed through the windows, casting a warm glow in the living room. Lulu sighed contentedly, resting her head on David’s chest. “I love days like this. Just you, me, and Sage.” “Me too,”
Lulu and David were still basking in the warmth of their reunion when there was a knock at the door. Lulu looked at David, her eyes bright with curiosity. “Who could that be?” she asked, glancing at the clock. It was still early in the afternoon. “I don’t know. Want me to check?” David replied, ge
Mirabel wiped at her eyes, her tears falling freely now. “I’m so sorry, David. I didn’t mean for it to go this far.” David shook his head, disgusted by her words. “Sorry isn’t enough, Mirabel. Not for what you did.” Mirabel looked up at him, desperation in her eyes. “Please, David. Don’t fire me.
David slowly opened his eyes, feeling the warmth of Lulu beside him. Her arm was draped over his chest, and he could hear her soft breathing. They hadn’t slept like this in a long time, wrapped up in each other, the way they used to when everything felt right. For a moment, it felt like everything h
They sat there in silence for a while before David leaned in to plant a kiss on her lips, they stayed that way for a moment before he laid her on her back, slightly hovering above her. it was only a moment before they were both completely naked, panting hard as they both moaned desperately, wanting
Lulu stood there, her arms crossed, staring at David. The silence in the room was thick, and David could feel the tension radiating from her. Her lips quivered, her eyes sharp and filled with suspicion. “You could be lying to me,” she said suddenly, her voice low but filled with hurt. David’s hear
David parked the car in the driveway, stepping out quickly. He waited as Lulu pulled up behind him. She got out slowly, holding Sage close to her chest. Her face was pale, and she looked drained. David walked toward her, his eyes full of worry. “Lulu…” he began softly. Lulu looked at him, exhaus
Lulu stood frozen, staring at James. Her heart pounded in her chest as the shock of seeing him still lingered. “How did you…?” Lulu started, her voice shaky. “How did you get out of jail? You were in England. What are you doing here?” James glanced around nervously. “I can’t say too much,” he re
