Ava woke up the next morning, the sunlight gently filtering through the curtains. The house was eerily quiet, save for the faint clinking of dishes coming from the kitchen. She padded out in her silk robe, her steps light but deliberate. When she entered the kitchen, her gaze fell on Monica and Janet, who were busily chatting while preparing something. Their faces lit up as they noticed her.

“Mrs. Pascal, you’re awake?” Monica’s voice carried an excited warmth that made Ava’s lips curve slightly. “We were just discussing going grocery shopping. Is there anything specific you’d like us to get?”

Ava paused, taking in the genuine enthusiasm on their faces. These two women had been a constant presence in her life, even during the times she had wanted things to be different and for Alexander to at least see her. She owed them more than she cared to admit.

“Well,” she began, her voice softer than usual, “if you don’t think I need anything after considering everything, then I trust you’ll ma

    Alexander sat across from Grandpa Pascal on the porch as the sun dipped below the horizon, painting the sky in hues of orange and pink. The air was light, filled with the chirping of crickets and the occasional rustle of leaves as a breeze swept through. Their laughter mixed with the sounds of the evening, making the moment feel surreal—peaceful, even.After everything they’d been through, these moments felt like stolen treasures.“What’s next now, Alex?” Grandpa Pascal asked, his voice steady but curious.Alexander leaned back in his chair, his eyes reflecting the fading sunlight. “I want to start fresh with her, Grandpa. Redo everything.” He let out a soft chuckle, though it didn’t hide the hint of regret in his tone. “We could have another wedding, make new memories, and even renew our marriage certificates. You know, I never signed the divorce papers. I was just… stupid back then. I lost her because of my own mistakes.”Grandpa Pascal nodded thoughtfully, his wrinkled hands restin

    Ava stirred in her sleep, turning over in the dim light of the room. Her soft, supple body pressed against Alexander, her leg brushing over his thigh. The subtle pressure and her intoxicating warmth sent a jolt through him, and his eyes flickered open.The faint glow of the bedside lamp cast a golden hue over her serene face. Her head rested on his chest, her breath soft and rhythmic. She shifted slightly, and her cheek brushed against him, causing him to stiffen beneath her.Alexander’s jaw tightened as he suppressed a groan. He didn’t need this—not now, not in the middle of the night when his self-control was already hanging by a thread. But the way she nuzzled closer, seeking comfort in his embrace, made it impossible to stay detached.Her hazy eyes blinked open slowly, and for a moment, their gazes locked. She looked up at him, her expression drowsy but undeniably alluring. “Hmm… baby, are you awake?” she murmured, her voice a blend of sleep and mischief.Alexander swallowed hard,

    The sunlight seeped through the curtains, casting soft golden rays onto the living room floor. Ava reclined on the plush sofa, her hand protectively resting on her growing belly. The room was calm, save for the rhythmic ticking of the clock on the far wall. Alexander sat beside her, his dark eyes searching her face for any sign of discomfort.“I know for such that something like this needs your utmost rest,” he began, his tone low yet firm. “And I hope you’re willing to compromise. Your job could be held till you’re out of bed and back to your feet.” He paused, gauging her reaction. “You need to prioritize yourself now.”Ava’s lips curved into a slight pout, her fingers playing with the edge of her blouse. “But what if I get too bored?” she teased, though her voice carried a hint of genuine concern.Alexander leaned closer, his presence exuding reassurance. “Baby, I know, and that’s why I won’t go to work every day. And when I do, I’ll make sure to come back early enough. Is that okay

    Alexander woke up, instinctively reaching for the other side of the bed. His fingers brushed against the cool sheets, and a sense of emptiness gnawed at him. Blinking away the remnants of sleep, he stared at the vacant space beside him. The absence of warmth signaled she had been gone for some time.His eyes darted toward the clock on the wall—6:15 a.m. Too early for her to be up, he thought. His chest tightened as unease crept in. His mind immediately conjured worst-case scenarios, fueled by his protective instincts and an irrational fear he couldn’t shake.Throwing off the covers, Alexander swung his legs off the bed and stood. His rumpled hair and unkempt look mirrored his internal disarray, but he didn’t care. He needed to find Ava. The thought of her being out of sight, even for a moment, unnerved him.He hurried down the hall, his footsteps echoing faintly in the quiet house. As he approached the living room, he was met with silence. A quick scan revealed nothing out of place, y

    Ava leaned against the kitchen counter, brushing a strand of hair from her face as she took a deep breath. The aroma of roasted vegetables and freshly baked bread filled the air, mingling with the faint hum of laughter from the living room. She had worked tirelessly to make the evening special—a feast to celebrate Alexander’s recent breakthrough.Her heart swelled with pride when she thought of him. For weeks, he had poured every ounce of himself into his work, and tonight was proof that the sleepless nights and endless planning had paid off. She wanted to honor that. She wanted him to feel cherished.“Ma’am,” Monica’s voice broke through her thoughts. The housekeeper’s warm smile matched her tone. “The dining area is set, and we’re ready to go. I’m so happy for you both.”Ava returned the smile, though exhaustion tugged at her features. “Don’t stand on ceremony, Monica. We made this happen together. You’ve been with us so long, you’re practically family now.”Monica’s cheeks flushed

    Alexander stood by the doorframe, watching Ava with a tenderness that he rarely allowed himself to feel. Her chest rose and fell with the rhythm of sleep, her face soft despite the evident exhaustion. He leaned forward, pressing a gentle kiss on her forehead, lingering for a moment before pulling back.The dim light of the room cast shadows across the walls, and as he straightened, a resolve settled over him. Ava needed time to recover, and he would make sure she had it. Turning quietly, he exited the room, shutting the door softly behind him.Walking into the living room, he spotted Monica arranging a vase of fresh flowers on the table. She looked up as he approached."Ava will stay in bed for a while longer," Alexander began, his voice steady but tinged with concern. "Get her some food, something light but nourishing, and take it to her room. Make sure she doesn’t wake up hungry. Stay nearby in case she stirs awake. I’ll be in the study."Monica nodded, her features reflecting the r

    Ava stood in front of the full-length mirror in their bedroom, the soft morning light filtering through the blinds, casting long shadows across the floor. Her reflection showed a woman on the edge of a new chapter. There was no denying it now—her life was changing in ways she hadn't fully processed. Her hand instinctively moved to her stomach, the subtle swell a constant reminder of the life growing inside her. Her heart fluttered at the thought.She was pregnant.The weight of the word still felt surreal. She had always been the one in control, the doctor who could solve any problem, who had all the answers. But this... this was different. This wasn’t something she could just fix with science or experience. This was something completely outside her realm of control. It was raw, unpredictable, and so deeply personal.Turning around, she found Alexander leaning against the doorframe, watching her quietly. His presence always had a way of grounding her, calming the storm of emotions she

    Ava sat on the edge of the bed, her hands resting lightly on her abdomen, her mind racing. The news she had received earlier that day was still a blur. Her mind struggled to wrap around the reality of it all. She had felt the change, the shift in her body, the strange sensation growing within her. And now, she was certain—she was pregnant. The weight of the realization was too much to bear, too much to grasp all at once. How could everything change so suddenly? Was she ready for this? Was they ready for this?The room around her felt strangely still. She glanced at the clock, noting how much time had passed since she had learned the news. It seemed like an eternity, but in reality, it was only a matter of hours. Hours that had stretched endlessly as she tried to process everything. She had come back into Alexander’s life just three years ago, hoping for a fresh start, a new beginning. But here she was, facing another unexpected twist, a new chapter in a story that had been anything bu
