"So, what brings you here?" Jenny asked after they were in her office and sat across from Anna on the sofa.

Anna didn't answer right away, instead taking a few seconds to think. The question was the same. Should she say it now?

"I'm thinking about the possibility of taking some time off," she answered simply and clearly begged a follow-up question.

And Jenny's reaction was just as Anna had predicted. Her brows furrowed, and surprise appeared on her face. "You want to take some time off?" She repeated the sentence but with a change in her tone. That became a question, to be precise, making sure what she heard.

Anna nodded confidently. She had said it, so she needed to finish it. "Yes. Is that possible?"

In fact, she had a Plan B in case this didn't go well. If she couldn't get time off, there was only one option. She must resign. Indeed, that seemed too much. But she would still do it later. Apart from being a screenwriter, her dream was to become a full housewife like her mother. And

    Linda Lowy.The name had been ringing in her head since the first day she heard it. No matter how hard she tried to get rid of it, it didn't work and instead got entrenched inside. It was annoying, and it almost frustrated her. But she really didn't know how to get rid of it. It also caused her difficulty sleeping last night. It really sucked!Linda was beautiful and had a pleasant personality from the information Anna got. That was why her fans regretted the end of her relationship with her boyfriend, especially Dave. Anna would find some comments asking her to come back to him. Then what about her? She was his wife, even though the world didn't know about it yet.Wait. Was that the reason Grandma pushed on the announcement of their marriage? To beat the popularity of Dave and Linda's past relationship.Ah, she was thinking too far. Where could that be the cause? After all, they should announce their marriage. Instead, she was strange to ask them to keep it a secret. So, if something

    Anna just stared at the road in front of her. It was familiar even though she did not know their destination. Dave only said about taking her somewhere without giving an explanation. So what she could do was guess what he meant.Dave took a right turn at the intersection she knew led to Chelsy's house. Her brain worked to connect it all. What was their destination? But for what reason? They hadn't made an appointment yet, or Dave had a promise behind her. But what?Questions kept spinning in her head until Dave steered the car into the block where Chelsy's house was. So it was true that they would visit her? He should have told her ahead of time so she could bring something for her.Surprisingly, she saw Chelsy's house, but he didn't slow down the car and just passed it. She could only stare at that from the window as her home was getting farther away. Turned out that wasn't their destination. Then where would they go?She returned to her position, looking straight ahead as they passe

    They were sitting in the living room watching television with her body in his arms when his phone rang. That was Chelsy."I'm outside your house," Chelsy said simply as soon as Dave picked the call up. She said she wanted to visit their house by bringing dinner for them. It was to celebrate their new home.Dave immediately got up from his seat, walked to the box attached to the wall to access the gate and door keys and showed who the guests were, and found Chelsy's car on the screen. Then he pushed the button to open the gate. The screen then showed her vehicle going through the gate, and once it was wholly entered, Dave pressed the button to close it. After that, he unlocked the door, so Chelsy didn't have to call or ring the bell anymore. Yeah, that was what the latest technology offered for the safety of their house."She's coming," Dave reported while hanging up the call."You should have filled the fridge when you decided to spend the weekend here." Instead of responding to his w

    "Dave," she called in a whisper as she felt his arms tighten. It was morning, and she had just turned off the alarm. But Dave wouldn't let her go, even though she knew he was awake.Dave just mumbled unclearly and returned to enjoying his position. He smelled her with his eyes still closed and felt the warmth in his arms. It made him not want to wake up early.She rolled her eyes at his reaction. Since last night, right after she said Linda's name, he had been acting a little weird by always taking the opportunity to hug her. He didn't leave her side and even followed her everywhere, except for the bathroom.Oh, the bathroom! That gave her the idea."I need to pee," she said, waving her plan out of his arms. No. Not that she hated being in his arms—she loved it so much. But she needed a break from him for a moment. She needed some alone time.Was it related to Linda?It might be. Anna would be a liar if she said it didn't affect her at all. Last night's conversation only eased the bur

    Dave had guessed it. She did overthink. Coupled with the pregnancy hormones, it most likely happened.To be honest, he never expected their meeting to happen. At least Anna knew about Linda, not that way. Who was not surprised to find her husband's ex-lover standing in front of her? And what did she say? Did Jenny offer her to work with Linda? It was ridiculous! He was not worried about Linda but about his wife. He was worried about what Anna thought and felt the whole time she worked with Linda. It would be better if he were a mind reader. Unfortunately, he wasn't and just relied on his instincts to guess what was on her mind."About Jenny's offer. What if you refuse it?" he asked close to her ear. Oh, he loved the smell. It soothed him by smelling her scent and feeling her warmth. It felt like he wanted to hug her all day. Certainly not because of the conversation about Linda, as she alleged, but he really wanted to hold her and rub her belly. And talking to their baby. "Why?"Beca

    -Bec, how are you?She reread the message before sending it. Before long, she saw her message was successfully sent and that it had even entered the receiver's phone—Rebecca. It turned blue in less than ten seconds, showing Rebecca had read it. But after a minute had passed, there was no reply from Rebecca. And that frustrated her.-Is everything okay?She sent it. After that, she went through the same process with the same result. She almost got up from her seat in frustration. Her hand went up to ruffle her hair as another way of expressing it. What was wrong with Rebecca?"What's wrong with you?" Dave asked as he came out of the bathroom and walked toward her. He saw something odd about her, which was why he asked that.Anna looked up with pouted lips, furrowed brows, and a wet look. The latter caused him to quicken his pace. "What is it, honey?" He asked again, as they were only two steps away. Anna looked like she was about to cry, and he had no idea why."Bec didn't answer my me

    Finally, she got what she wanted. Jenny was very kind and willing to grant her request. And in return, she didn't have a problem with working today. Anna would meet the client as a representative of Jessica Hall. She read it as a brand for baby clothes. So she guessed it was for Jessica's baby. Oh, Jessica had a cute baby boy.She waited at the cafe while having hot chocolate and fried fries with her. Unfortunately, no ice cream was on the menu even though she really wanted it. Yeah, to celebrate how everything went well lately. Her relationship with Dave, her pregnancy, and her work. It was really perfect that sometimes she thought whether it was a dream. But it was not. That was the fact.Brand representatives should come at ten. But it seemed that things did not go well with their previous meeting—they said they had an appointment before meeting her—or it was running over. They just said they would be late and probably came during lunch. That was why Anna replaced Liza, who should

    Her body stiffened as Anna saw Linda's figure approaching her. No. Linda was already close when she called out to Anna and was so close as she was in front of her now. Linda had a smile on her face when she asked, "Can I sit here?"And Anna had no answer but a nod. She couldn't possibly reject it when she saw her bright smile as if meeting a friend. But they weren't friends, and she doubted they would be ones."Actually, I came when you were having a meeting with the previous woman. And I saw you were very professional in dealing with her."Anna wasn't sure she wanted to hear it. What was the point of explaining it to her? It was something an assistant like her usually did. Dealing with clients, arranging schedules, and accompanying talent to go there. That was the primary thing to do as an assistant. However, she only took the first one, as per her request. Of course, with a different salary."Especially when you said your rules. That looked cool."Anna couldn't help but smile awkwar

    Anna peered through the common bathroom door on the first floor before stepping out casually as if nothing had happened. She walked past Dave, who was sitting on the couch in their living room and reading a report on his tablet, with Zach crawling on the floor."Zach, baby, come here." She called for Zach's attention, which was never hard to get. "Let's play outside."And his reaction was predictable. He was running toward his mother excitedly. His smile was so big that it was going to explode.Being a child seemed fun, didn't it?She followed him, running out of the house to their yard barefoot. She couldn't help her own smile from forming on her face at seeing him and another happiness she had just found out about today.She was pregnant with their second child.But be quiet. Anna wanted to make a surprise for her husband.Oh, she couldn't wait to see his reaction!"Zach, come here. Mommy wants to say something to you."Zach halted his running to look at his mother with an indescrib

    Three years later.She watched everything. Their every move, laugh, giggle, scream, and more. She couldn't help but grace a wide smile over that. It was too good to be true. But it was what that was as it was the reality.Baby Zach was now three years old and in his active days. He had run on every corner of the house and was always excited to run outside.Although it tired their body from following him around, she didn't complain, especially Dave. He always had the energy to play with him and never ran out of ideas. He raised their child with all his heart.She shook her head to force herself back to her place. She couldn't only observe them all the time, as she needed to finish the cookie dough.Zach had the exact liking as hers for sweets. So she tried to be the best mom by baking them instead of buying them outside or ordering chefs to make them. It was cheaper and could adjust to her family preferences, which she wanted, not too much sugar.As Dave said, sugar was a killer.She

    "Hi, baby boy. I'm happy you're awake, and I can hold you. Your mother must feel the same way. But she's resting now, so let's not disturb her and play with me instead." His voice was laced with happiness as his eyes flitted the same feeling. There was nothing happier than this moment when he finally held baby Zach. And the fact that he was born healthy was wonderful. It could be perfect if his wife's recovery went well.Baby Zach wriggled his tiny hands and managed to capture Dave's finger. He gripped it though his eyes were still closed. Baby Zach might sense familiar and safe, so baby Zach didn't cry, which made Dave's heart swell with pride and warmth. Only his touch could do that, and he couldn't be more proud of that."What do you think about this world? It's amazing, isn't it? You have me, your mother, and your entire family by your side. And in the future, you will find your own friends."Baby Zach was just quiet, and if his grip was not still on his finger, Dave might have th

    A few months later.Anna was closing drawers after checking what was inside was still inside.It might be confusing. The point was Anna had just finished looking at their baby’s needs, such as clothes, diapers, socks, blanket, and more. She wanted to make sure everything was ready when the time came, which was soon. Her due date should be this week, and she couldn’t be more excited to finally welcome their baby.She moved to the only bed in the room. It was big and had four wooden walls on four sides to protect the baby from falling. And it was the one Dave said could accommodate her body while breastfeeding their baby. She even could sleep on it too.Her hand touched the doll on the nearby side and placed it neatly between another doll and the pillow. She had some, mainly cute animal characters, to accompany him while he was sleeping.Yes, him. Their baby was a boy.“Do you like it, honey? It’s nice, right? Your father prepared them for you.” She spoke as her hand caressed her so big

    "I saw everything, Anna. I know what you hide behind your back." His eyebrows raised as if waiting for her to reveal it by herself. There was no point in hiding it anyway since it was why he approached her. He already saw her enjoying the ice cream!"What do you mean?"So she was going to play with him. Unfortunately, he didn't want to pretend that he did not see that. "The bowl. Ice cream."And she could only force a grin."Come here." His hand reached out to invite her to come near him."No. You will scold me.""That means you know you were doing wrong. How many bowls have you had?""Hmm. Five?""Count it correctly, honey.""Okay. Okay. Nine." She raised both her hands in the air and surrendered herself."No, honey. The bowl in your back is the eleventh."He actually didn't have a problem with her enjoying the ice cream. But Anna liked overeating, and she might have more if he didn't watch her."Good job Dave. She needs to be more careful with her health." Rebecca, standing beside h

    Finally, the day they had been waiting for came. It was hectic but also fun. Their friends and families gathered together to celebrate the happy day. What was more pleasing than that?The vow went well. Although Anna felt more nervous, everything was perfect this time compared to the real one. Her father led her to the altar and handed her to Dave, which generally did at a wedding ceremony. And she and his husband stated their vow again and became husband and wife one more time.And to make it perfect, he sealed their vow with a kiss on her lips. Then cheers and applauses filled the hall.It was indeed a favorable moment. And it lasted until night."It's a pleasure to finally meet the newest Mrs. Byrne." Alexander greeted Anna and took her hand to land a quick kiss, like how a gentleman met a lady for the first time. "My name is Alexander Green.""Oh!" Anna couldn't help but show her surprise. She heard a lot about him from Dave, but this was the first time they met in person."Based

    She felt warm on her skin. Also, a soft and warm breeze brushed over her neck, bringing a shiver to her body. A second later, she sensed warmth moving on her swollen belly, rubbing it so gently as if fearing to wake her up."Hmm." She stirred from her sleep, the result of those doings. Only then did she realize hands wrapped around her, and she knew whose those were. "Dave." Her voice came throatily from sleep."I'm sorry I woke you up." He mumbled against the nook of her neck.She heard it but didn't want to answer him as her voice was stuck in her throat. But she couldn't do it anymore when her eyes fluttered open and dark welcomed her through a glass wall which gave a view of the dark sky. "It's still dark.""Yes.""What time is it?""It's past midnight.""Why aren't you sleeping?"Instead of replying, he tightened his arms and dug his face deeper into her neck. His hand slipped inside her nightdress and caressed her tummy. "I can't sleep.""Why?" She wriggled her body to turn arou

    "The preparation is doing good, right?" Dave asked Eddie, General Manager of The Byrne Hotel in Los Angeles, as they took a look at the hall designated for his event to take place. It was still filled with other decorations, as it would be occupied for someone's event for tonight."Yes. We have everything that we need ready. Gifts also have arrived, and we're working to put them into goodie bags."Dave nodded his head in understanding. "Pack them nicely and make sure those are right for each occasion. Don't get confused." He gave further orders.As planned, they would split the event into two, the vow and the party. And because of that, they would use a separate hall, decorations, gifts for guests, food, and more. They had different preparation for each occasion."Sure. We have a lot of experience with these things. I assure you everything will be in expert hands. You can enjoy your time with your bride.""Okay. I trust you with this.""Yes."Then they walked together for a few minute

    "I'm like a dolphin already!" Her voice echoed throughout the room. She was standing in front of the mirror, checking her appearance from the reflection. She wore an A-line midi dress in black, which fell nicely on her body. But it also made her baby bump visible."Says who?" Dave was walking toward her while buttoning his shirt."Me." She still focused on her own reflection, as if looking for something to satisfy her."Then you're wrong. You don't look like one at all." He slipped his arms around her waist. "Instead, you look sexier." He landed a kiss on her neck and began to stroke her stomach gently. It was almost six months, and the bump was pretty big."Don't lie to me, Dave. Look at me. Everything in my body is swollen now. Even my cheeks are full.""That's what makes you sexy, honey. I like how your body changes."She narrowed her eyes at his reflection. "Liar.""I'm not. I'm being honest with you.""I don't believe you."There was a sound of a sigh before he planted the last k
