2024-10-29 19:42:56~ Killian ~
Killian clung to Audrey’s body like it was his only lifeline. His voice was coarse from crying and his eyes were swollen and blue. But for the first time in days, Killian could finally breathe again. He had been holding onto this pain alone for so long. No one could’ve helped him. No one could’ve possibly understood. Losing Caspian was like losing half of himself. No one would know the severity of his pain, except for maybe her.
Audrey was also crying her heart out. She just learned about it this morning from her friends. Killian came by in the afternoon to check up on her. She wasn’t talking to anyone except for him.
Killian learned about Caspian two days ago. He had the same reaction as her the first time he heard it. He kept saying it was impossible. It must be a mistake. Caspian was the strongest guy he knew. He couldn't just die.

For days now, Anna and John tried to get Killian to talk about the accident. Killian never told his parents the full story of what happened. All his parents knew was that they were in an unfortunate car accident.Luckily for Killian, the FBI was also very discreet. They wanted to further investigate the Russian’s dealings on U.S. soil, so the details of this case were never fully disclosed to the media.Needless to say, it was a difficult time for everyone. They were forced to rethink the way they lived their lives. Killian became a lot more emotional. He was no longer cold and calculative.

She was tapping him lightly, wanting to wake him up. “Mmhm,” Caspian groaned and turned around. He was teasing Grace on purpose. “Daddy, wake up!” she protested. Taking after his daddy, Grace was a persistent girl. She climbed up the bed and climbed on top of Caspian’s body.

Happy birthday dear Gracie, happy birthday to you!” The whole room was singing and cheering for baby Grace’s first birthday. She had no clue what was happening though. She was sitting on her chair with a pink dress on, staring at everyone in front of her. Her biggest fans in the world were in the room, her mommy, daddy, grandpa Max, grandpa John, and grandma Anna. Even uncle Mikey, Uncle Sebastian, Auntie Liv, and Uncle Benji were there too.

She thought for a moment before her hand reached for the keyboards again. And just as she was about to start typing, she heard a loud cry coming from the next room. Audrey immediately knew what that cry meant. After listening to her baby’s cries for six months, Audrey could tell what she needed just by the way she cried. Getting up to her feet, Audrey quickly went to the nursery. She opened the door to see Killian and Virginia, their postpartum doula, picking up baby Grace from her crib.

Not being able to sleep was a normal thing for him, but there was another reason why he couldn’t sleep tonight. Tomorrow was a big day for him and Audrey. It was the day where their baby girl would come into the world. Audrey decided that she wanted to do a homebirth. They didn’t have the best memories the last time they were in a hospital. And Audrey felt most relaxed and comfortable being at home. Dr. Shepherd, who was closely monitoring Audrey and the baby, agreed that home birth would be a viable option. So they set on a date, got all the equipment ready, hired a midwife-nurse, and set aside a hospital transport just in case. Tomorrow was the D-day and Killian was too nervous to sleep. He kept checking the clock to see if the hour hand had moved. Audrey seemed like she was nervous too. It was about eleven-thirty at night and she was usually asleep by now. But tonight, she wasn
