Two weeks later.

Renee is officially 2 months old today. She's growing up so fast. I marvel at how much she changes with every new day. She's going to be talking soon if I don't watch out.

I'm having yet another slow morning but if I'm being honest I'm itching to go back to work. I'm growing tired of my quiet days. I miss having something to do. But I know I have to be more patient with myself. I'm lucky to be able to take time off to take care of my baby. I worked hard enough during pregnancy to do this. I really don't have to go back for the next twelve months.

This morning Renee and I are chilling on the huge sofa in the living room. She's taking yet another nap on her baby pillow. I'm trying to read a book that's been on my reading list for a while now.

My phone vibrates suddenly and I almost jump out of my skin. I don't know how Renee will react to the buzzing. I don't she's ever felt that before. I remove the phone from the sofa and look at it. I don't know the number tha

    "What did you say?" I ask genuinely shocked. He didn't just do that to me."I mean it." He says and I can hear the smile in his voice."You can't say that about other people's children," I say and he sighs."Well, I just feel terrible that I fucked up a good thing. I guess I needed to find a good way to say that." He says and I'm quite not sure what to say to that. Is he trying to apologize right now? "I should have been more patient and understanding of your needs." He says and I remove the phone from my ear. I don't know if I should be listening to this. I feel like I should end the phone call."Why are we even talking about this?" I ask placing him on speaker. "I don't think bringing up the past is a good thing anyway," I say hoping he'll stop talking about this."Let's just say that I've had time to think and I have seen the error of my ways." He says and my heart sinks. I don't want to hear this right now. I don't care about

    "Hey," Shalom says looking back at me. I stare at her not sure what I just heard. Everything in my being wants to demand that she tell me who she was talking with and what the whole conversation was about. I know I heard that guy say my daughter was meant to be his. He woke up a very dark part of me no one want to see. "Hey," I say walking into the room. I sit at the far end of the sofa. I place my hand on Renee's belly as she breathes in and out slowly."How was your day?" She asks after a moment of silence, I can feel her staring at me. I know she's wondering what's going on in my head. The truth is I feel extremely possessive of my family. I don't like the thought of another man imagining himself in my position. I will never let anyone be in my position. This is forever. But at the same time I don't know how to have this conversation with her without letting loose this posesiveness I feel."It was good. I was able to knock off early for the

    "I have a request," Kane says after our intense conversation about exes. I know he hasn't said anything bad but I know he has emotions about what Thomas said. I can tell he heard the whole conversation and to be honest I would be pissed if someone said those things about my daughter."Yes?" I ask and he kisses Renee's forehead. I look at him and smile at his daughter."I want to take you on a date tomorrow night," He says and I smile. I didn't expect him to say that. I thought he was going to tell me to stop talking to exes. I was sure he was going to start a serious fight. "Please wear a nice dress and shoes and do the makeup thing by eight." He says and I smile nodding. "Okay," I say shyly. "Do I get to know where we're going?" I ask getting excited. This is going to be our first date since having the baby. I am looking forward to having an adult-only night out."Nope." He says plainly and I laugh."I have to know w

    "Thank you for dinner" Shalom says sitting across the table from me. "It was amazing." I smile and nod, "You haven't said much tonight. Are we good?" She says leaning in closer. "I've been having thoughts," I say and she raises her brows at me in question. I smile and she smiles back but she doesn't say anything. "I've had thoughts about us," I add and she sits back looking unsure. "About us?" She asks her voice getting lower."Yes," I say and she nods."Is this about Thomas calling me?"She says sighing I shake my head no."It meant nothing, I don't have any feelings toward him." She says ignoring me. "I have no desire to have him in my life. I hate that he said that about our baby." She says rambling on. I reach into my pocket and take out a ring box and she stops talking the instant that box hits the table. "Oh my..." She says her voice getting high. "I imagined this would go differently. I have a whole thing planned so I can ask you more romantically but I'm so nervous." I say an

    A few hours ealier. My mother walks into our bedroom and she sits on the settee at the window. I'm getting ready for my date with Kane. I'm doing my makeup at my beauty corner."Hey mommy" I say looking at her in the mirror. "Hey mommy." She says back at me and I smile. She looks so happy in this moment. Her skin is glowing and her eyes have a little sparkle behind them. She is a far cry from the sick and frail woman I remember. I'm happy she's here to see her granddaughter. There was a time I was sure this would never happen. "Thank you for watching the kids for us tonight." I say and she smiles. I don't know if I would have been comfortable to leave tonight if she wasn't watching my kids. I know Junior and Renee are in good hands with her. We have a nanny coming through to do the haevy lifting so that she doesn't have to but I know she has everything in hand. "You don't have to thank me for taking care of my grand babies." She says waving me away. "I've been telling you to go o

He leans down with arms open to take her from Noni and I hold my breath waiting to see how this will go down.

Their breakup was painful to watch.I know Nonin had regrets about the way things went between the two of them."What do you think you're doing?" Noni says looking up at him. Mathew smiles looking at her. I guess I should be glad he's smiling and not argueing with her. I don't want my child to be caught in a back an forth between these two."I'm saying hi, to my beautiful niece." He says taking her. Noni resists for a split second but she gives in and Mathew takes her."Well, hurry up and get her back to me. we're not done with our girl time." She says making a face at him.

Thomas?I knew leaving the house was a very bad idea, But Mom and Kane were sure it was important that I get out of the house. Breathe in the fresh air and take a break from taking care of the baby. But now here I am staring at my ex in a robe, about to get a massage, with a group of people I don't know. Again my brilliant fiance thought it would be good for me to get a massage. So he booked it and dropped me off here. He Well, I do know one person. My ex!"Hi, Thomas," I say and he smiles. I smile too because it feels weird to just stare and not respond. "It's so good to see you." He says taking a few steps closer to me. He leans in for a hug and I look at him awkwardly not sure if I want to do that. It feels a little awkward.

    Six months later, our wedding day arrives. The venue is a charming chapel nestled in the hills, surrounded by a sea of white flowers.

Our guest list is intimate, just fifty of our closest friends and family, making the occasion feel even more special.I’m in a small room at the back of the chapel, getting ready. My dress is a vision of white silk and lace, hugging my curves in all the right places. The intricate beadwork sparkles as I move, catching the light.

    I lie on my side and stare at Kane lying next to me. He closes his eyes and then he sighs happily as his body slowly calms down from the high of our orgasms. “I missed you so much,” I say, my voice trembling with emotion. I reach out and touch his brow, feeling the familiar warmth of his skin. The simple contact brings a rush of relief.He opens his eyes and smiles, the tenderness in his gaze melting the remaining shards of hurt within me. “I missed you too,” he replies, moving closer.“I don’t want to fight like that with you ever again,” I whisper, my voice barely audible, yet carrying the weight of a heartfelt promise. His nod is immediate, his eyes reflecting the same resolve.“We will never fight like that ever again,” he assures me, his tone filled with sincerity. He takes my hand into his, his grip firm yet gentle.

    I'm in bed watching Shaolm get ready to go to sleep. She's wearing one of those lingerie sets where you can see through the material. I watch the way her skin peaks through and wish my lips were slowly gliding over it. I wish I could feel the softness hidden beneath the material."You okay?" She says when she stops in the middle of the room to look at me. I nod and she starts walking into the bathroom.When she comes back to the room she gets into bed next to me."You're very silent tonight." She says looking over at me."I'm just thinking about how beautiful you are." I say and she smiles shyly."You're beautiful too." She says her smile getting wider and I just stare at her. There's so much light and warmth in her eyes it makes me sigh. She's incredibly gorgeous."Thank you." I say leaning over to kiss her.

    After a long day at the hospital, I finally make my way home, the weight of the day’s events pressing down on me. The evening air is cool, a welcome contrast to the sterile feeling of the hospital. As I unlock the door, the familiar scent of home greets me, and I immediately feel a bit lighter.“Baby?” I call out, stepping inside.“In the kitchen!” Her voice rings back, cheerful and warm.I find her at the stove, stirring a pot of something that smells amazing. She turns and smiles when she sees me, her eyes lighting up. “Hey, you. How was your day?”I lean in to kiss her, savoring the brief moment of normalcy. “Busy. Interesting, too. Smells great in here.”“Chicken curry,” she says with a grin. “It’ll be ready in a few minutes. Why don’t you get changed and relax for a bit?”“Sounds perfect.” I head to our bedroom, changing into more comfo

    The hospital corridors hum with the usual morning bustle. As I head to the conference room for the morning briefing, I notice a familiar figure ahead, her brown hair tied back in a neat ponytail. My steps falter for a second before I continue walking, my mind racing.Olive.I know she ran into Shalom a week ago and I don't know how she'll react. It sucks that we have to work together but their internal medicine fellowship and our neurosurgery program h work together from time t time and I'm stuck with her this week. The unexpected sight of her here, in the same hospital, stirs up a whirlwind of emotions.Entering the conference room, I take a seat and try to focus on the meeting. Dr. Malik outlines the cases for the day, his voice steady and authoritative. When he mentions a complex case requiring collaboration with internal medicine, my heart skips a beat.“And for this case, you’ll be working closely with Dr. Olive Bennett from Internal Medicine,” he says, glancing around the room

    Today is my first solo surgery. I can't believe it but I can because I worked harder than most people and I'm not surprised I've progressed so quickly in the program.It's both exciting and nerve wrecking blend as I prepare for my first solo surgery. It's a simple procedure—a lumbar discectomy—but the significance of it being my first is huge.Dr. Hunter's words from that first day echo in my mind as I scrub in: "This program is designed to challenge you and expand your capabilities." I’ve spent countless hours observing, assisting, and honing my skills under the watchful eyes of the attendings. Today, it’s my turn.I walk into the OR, the sterile environment buzzing with the quiet efficiency of the surgical team. Dr. Malik, who has been an incredible mentor, gives me a reassuring nod from across the room. “Ready, Dr.?” He smiles at me and I exhale slowly.“Ready,” I reply, my voice steady despite the

    Sitting in my car, the world around me blurs as tears fill my eyes. My chest tightens, and I struggle to catch my breath. The image of Shalom with her baby is burned into my mind, a constant reminder of what I’ve lost. Panic grips me, making it hard to think, hard to breathe.I close my eyes, trying to calm myself. "In and out," I whisper to myself, focusing on my breathing. "In and out." Slowly, the panic begins to recede, but the pain remains, a dull ache in my chest.I lean back in my seat, staring at the ceiling. How did it come to this? How did I end up here, alone and broken? Kane was everything to me, and now he’s gone, living a life I can only dream of. I squeeze my eyes shut, wishing I could erase the last few minutes from my memory.But the truth is, I needed to see it. I needed to see that Kane has moved on, that he’s happy. Maybe now I can start to heal, to find a way to move forward without him.With a shaky breath, I open my eyes and wipe away the tears. I need to get ou

    I can't believe what I'm seeing. It's her. My heart pounds as I duck behind a rack of summer dresses, and my breath catches in my throat. I peek through the fabric, watching Shalom browse the store with her baby. The scene stirs a whirlwind of emotions in me—a mix of anger, jealousy, and a tinge of curiosity.Shalom moves gracefully, her attention focused on the baby in a stroller. I can see the soft coos and the gentle way Shalom interacts with her baby, a smile across her lips. I feel my heart break at the sight. I want to get closer, to see the baby, and to understand what has changed in Kane's life since he broke up with me.My mind races with thoughts. Why did he choose Shalom? What did she have that I didn’t? I need answers, and this might be my only chance to find them.Taking a deep breath, I straighten up, trying to appear nonchalant as I step out from behind the rack. I pick up a dress and pretend to examine it, all the while inching closer to Shalom.Shalom seems oblivious

"I thought we could spend the day together. Maybe take Rene to the zoo. What do you think?"My smile widens at the mention of our daughter. "I think that sounds perfect," I reply, reaching for Kane's hand across the table. "I love the idea of a family day."As we eat breakfast, our conversation is light and filled with laughter.
