Sarah I woke with a stiff back and an aching arm.I am in bed with Noah since he refused to leave after we finished watching TV.I smiled when I remembered saying that he was taking his job seriously and that he would take care of me throughout the night With a bit of difficulty,I managed to move him without waking him up.It was around right and I needed to prepare breakfast before he woke up. After doing my morning routine,I went downstairs .I stood outside the kitchen for a while wondering how I was going to manage making with one arm. As I mover to get the ingredients for pancakes,memories of yesterday flooded my mind.Everythubg that happened seemed so surreal that part of me wonder if it had happened. If it wasn't for the fact that my shoulder was bandaged and my arm was in sling,I would have thought it was all a bad dream. When I woke up in the hospital after I fainted I panicked.It took both the doctor and nurse to calm me down and reassure me that everything was okay.She
I went to the kitchen to tidy up the dirty dishes,then there was a knock.Noah was still asleep and I didn't want to wake him up yet.I was so sure it was Nathan,he had probably forgotten something ."Did you forget something?"I asked opening the door.My emotions shut down when I realized it was Michael and not Nathan.Seeing his face just brought a rush of pain.Rememberinv how he abandoned me to save his precious babe brought a bitter taste to my mouth There was no denying that I meant nothing to him.I mean yesterday just showed me the extent of his disregard and hate towards me.I push the hurt and pain away.Locking them together with the love I had for him in the deepest anf darkest parts of my soul.Micheal was dead to me and I didn't want to ever love a dead man.I know he could see how my emotions to him are obviously dead."What are you doing here?".I asked ,He just pushed in way into the house.It was like talking to a stranger.He was nothing to me ,not anymore.This is someon
"What do you want me to say?You know I never lied to you.You always knew I loved her.That didn't stop you from using my body did it?Gosh I hate you.I don't know what I saw in you or attracted me to you I don't know why I wasted so much of my time and energy on you.I grind my teeth at her words .Her words angered me.Yes we did sleep together during our marriage but It was just to scratch ah inchI took vows and despite the fact that I didn't love her.I wasn't going to break them by cheating on her.I am not here to talk about the past,I'm here to talk about Noah"I said changing the topic.It was so draining going round and round .I needed to say what I came here to say then leave before I said or did something I would later regret.Noah's name got her attention which I knew it would.She opened one of the cabinets and takes out the bottle of medicine.Checking the label.I realized it's for pain."How is the arm I askedYou came here to talk ,so please talk...We both know you do
Noah's eyes widened as he listened to his parents' explanation. He looked from one to the other, his face scrunched up in confusion."But why can't I stay with both of you?" he asked, his voice trembling.Sarah knelt down beside him, her expression softening. "We love you, sweetie, but Mommy and Daddy need some time apart. We'll both still see you, just not at the same time."Noah's face crumpled, and he threw his arms around Sarah's neck. "I don't want to leave you, Mommy!"Michael's heart ached as he watched the scene unfold. He knelt down beside them, putting a hand on Noah's shoulder."Hey, buddy, it's okay. We'll both still be your parents, and we'll both still love you. This is just a new way of doing things."Noah pulled back, his eyes welling up with tears. "But I don't want things to change!"Sarah and Michael exchanged a glance, both of them struggling to find the right words to comfort their son.At first, Noah struggled to adjust to the new arrangement. He missed his paren
As Sarah and Michael continued to co-parent effectively, they both started to notice positive changes in their individual lives. Sarah found a new sense of purpose and confidence, pursuing her passion for photography and even starting her own business. Michael, too, rediscovered his love for music and began playing guitar again, finding solace in the creative expression.Their newfound happiness and fulfillment started to radiate outward, affecting those around them. Sarah's friends and family noticed her glow and asked for her secret. Michael's colleagues commented on his renewed energy and focus.One evening, as Sarah was editing photos in her home office, she received an unexpected visit from her best friend, Emily. "Sarah, I have to ask, what's behind this transformation? You seem so happy and at peace."Sarah smiled, reflecting on her journey. "It's funny, Emily. I think co-parenting with Michael has been a blessing in disguise. We're finally communicating effectively, and it's f
As Michael and Sarah's romance blossomed, they found themselves feeling more alive than they had in years. They would steal glances at each other during Noah's soccer practices, and their hands would touch as they sat together on the bleachers. Michael, who had once felt like a shell of his former self, now walked with a newfound spring in his step. He started taking risks at work, pursuing new projects and ideas that he had previously been too afraid to try. Sarah, too, felt a sense of renewal. She started painting again, a hobby she had given up after her divorce. She found solace in the creative process, and her art became a reflection of her newfound happiness. As they navigated their rekindled relationship, they faced challenges, of course. They had to confront the mistakes of their past and work to rebuild trust. But they were determined to make it work, for themselves and for Noah. Sarah's paintbrush danced across the canvas, vibrant colors blending together in a swirling stor
As Sarah’s art continued to gain recognition, she found herself both exhilarated and overwhelmed. The gallery exhibition had been a pivotal moment, but it was just the beginning. Her art was resonating with people in ways she had never imagined, and each new piece she created seemed to tell a part of their evolving love story.Michael stood by her side through it all. He was her biggest supporter and, sometimes, her critic—a role he embraced with equal parts love and honesty. They often found themselves discussing her work late into the night, their conversations blending into the warmth of their shared bed.One evening, after a particularly long day at the gallery, Sarah sat at her easel, staring at a blank canvas. Michael, sensing her frustration, quietly walked in and watched her.“Rough day?” he asked softly, his voice filled with concern.Sarah sighed, “I’m struggling to find inspiration. I want to capture something new, something that reflects where we are now, but I’m stuck.”M
He was a little absent-minded at the moment.All she could think of since this afternoon was the doctor's words. "Congratulations! You are going to be a mom."Suddenly, Micheal pinched her arm. His low voice came the next second. "Come back to earth. What are you thinking about?"Micheal was her husband. They had been married secretly for two years. He was her superior at work, the president of the Dixon Group.Everything had happened so fast. She was newly employed in the company when they unexpectedly got married.At that time, Micheal grandfather fell seriously ill. It was then he proposed a fake marriage just to fulfill his grandfather's dying wish.They signed a prenup, agreeing to hide their marriage from the public. Their union could be terminated at any time.It was an unconventional thing to do. However, Sarah only considered herself lucky at that time.Never in a million years did she think she would ever get married to the man she had a crush on for Five years. She delight
