Derek feels his pulse pounding in his throat as the nurse reappears, her expression urgent and tense. “Dr. Jean isn’t here yet! The patient is losing too much blood—get her to the ER!”

    39 weeks! Gwen has been struggling enough to move around. She will leave for the hospital this afternoon to prepare for her labor. She will give a natural birth but wants to keep her situation under control without any delays. " Derek! Can you get my shoes please? I'm cold suddenly!" Gwen asks, while trying to get her shoes but fails. She wants to walk around for a bit. It's been difficult for her to handle things herself. She is not having good sleep either. Each time, Derek keeps rubbing her back, her swollen legs, cooking her something delicious -- She is grateful for having such a loving husband and feeling sad for disturbing his sleep. Handling work from home and helping her around has become a huge deal. When she asked him to hire some staff, for some reason, he looked adamant not to hire. She still doesn't know what's the reason behind it. But he is handling everything in his own way. " Sneakers!" He puts them on her legs and gently pecks her stomach over her dress,

    After that day, Gwen practically makes herself comfortable living there sometimes on weekends or anything she wants to be with her dearest husband. Derek, trying to be the best husband, of course with flaws, has been doing everything to support her and the pregnancy journey. Sometimes they have arguments, sometimes a bit of misunderstanding or a bit of extra love. But like other couples in love, they have found their lives on the track, next to each other. Time goes fast, within a blink, leaving full gray and white memories with happiness and exhaustion. Pregnancy has never been as easy as it looks in movies and dramas. Not as romantic as the feelings sound like. Sometimes Gwen feels everyone's presence around her is suffocating. Even Derek's presence. Sometimes she couldn't get a hold on herself without Derek. Having him around her is like having a therapist who understands her more than anyone. When she becomes busy with her work, he attends the new parents class online, op

    Gwen gently rests her hands on his face, grinning widely. He is literally shaking, his eyes filled with desperation and hopelessness. This is not new for her. Because she was once that desperate, to tell him how much she loves him. But seeing her feelings being reciprocating, she can't help but chuckle a bit. " Thank you!" She whispers, disclosing their distance and looking into his eyes, " I know how it feels. Each time I thought of ending things, I was like this. Because I didn't want to lose this Man I adore so much. Thank you for loving me so much, Derek. So continue to love me like this." Tears drop as she speaks, her thumbs brushing his bearded face. She loves him so much. And now listening to his confession, it makes her relieved. Probably the distance between them that has grown up over time, will finally disappear. Derek smiles widely, like a kid who feels relieved and feels acknowledged after working hard to get something perfect. He wraps his arms around her waist,

    People say when they are in love, everything becomes gray but the person they're in love with. Derek holds the camera up, watching the favorite person through his phone, capturing each and every single moment. He wants to create a whole album of her for old days, when probably both of them will be worn out and have nothing to do. They'll sit on the porch, in a hot summer, reminiscing about their rollercoaster lives. He used to find romantic movies cringe, but now he knows why people become so desperate to love each other. Maybe he isn't some kind of hero, protecting her from evil step mother. But he knows he wants her. Even in silence, he wants her present around him. After seeing her pale complexion on that day when Anusha exposed his secret, he felt like a criminal who killed thousands of innocent people. Since that day, he is scared of hurting her. Not anymore, not even in his death - He says, his heart can't forgive him. " What are you doing?" She asks, kicking her legs

    " These reels are funny! But I don't like pranks." She keeps talking and laughing at the funny reels in her phone while Derek preparing the dinner. " Do you think everyone is happy? They look so perfect and happy. Like novels!" She rests her chin on the table and keeps mumbling, asking questions. Derek glances at her while chopping the vegetables. A few seconds later, Taking out some of strawberries that he put beforehand, he pours a glass of warm milk and takes them to her, " It's life. People are intend to show off their happiness in front of people hiding their own pain. Everyone has their own problems. Not everything is true in social media!" Gwen nods, pouting, " Do you think we will be happy?" She asks, looking at Derek who pauses for a second. He nods, " I will try my best to make you happy!" He smiles. " But I said ' We' Not me!" She looks at him, her expression is serious. " If you are happy, then I am ha-!" " Liar!" Derek frowns narrowly while trying to unders
