Later that evening, Anne returned home from the hospital. She was still a bit weak but determined to get back to her routine. Nicholas hovered around her, trying to mask his worry but Anne could sense something was off.As they settled into bed, Anne turned to him, her eyes searching for something. “Are you hiding something from me?” she asked, her voice gentle but probing.“No,” he responded, a little too quickly, avoiding her gaze.Anne frowned, not convinced. Nicholas was usually open with her and this sudden evasiveness made her uneasy.The next morning, Nicholas remained unusually close, not letting her out of his sight. He even delayed leaving for the office. “Don’t you have to go to the office?” she asked, noticing how he kept finding excuses to stay near her.“No,” he replied, trying to sound casual, but the worry was clear in his eyes. Even though Bella had reassured him that Coco was fine, he couldn’t shake the uneasy feeling gnawing at him. If Anne found out about Coco, he

“Mommy!” Leon yelled as he dashed into the house with Nicholas hurrying behind him. Without missing a beat, Leon ran straight to the kitchen and wrapped his arms around Anne’s legs. He said like a spoiled son that he was, “Mommy, I missed you all day! Daddy’s no fun anymore.”“Give me a moment, Leon,” Anne said, glancing down as she stirred a pot on the stove. She didn’t want oil splatters to reach him. She added with a frown, “Why are you in the kitchen? Did you wash your hands after being outside? And you are still wearing your shoes! I have told you before, the kitchen needs to be kept clean. We all have weak immune systems and I don’t want any germs coming in here. Go wait in the living room until I’m done.”Leon’s eyes widened as he took in his mother’s stern tone. It was different from her usual coddling self. Lately, she had been indulging him and treating him like he was the center of her universe. Now, he felt like he was being treated just like any other child and it didn’t s

Bella was waiting outside the school as Leon and Coco walked out together. Leon immediately noticed her and frowned seeing her there. He assumed that she was only there to pick up Coco. He tried to walk past her as he hoped to avoid any conversation. In his mind, Bella was just his sister's grandmother and he had no reason to engage with her.But Coco, was delighted to see her grandmother and ran straight into Bella’s arms. “Bella!” She exclaimed with joy.Bella chuckled as her eyes twinkling and she hugged Coco back. “How’s my favorite granddaughter?”Coco smiled up at her and responded brightly, “Too good!”Meanwhile, Leon continued to walk ahead as he was determined not to interact. Just as he thought he was in the clear, Bella reached out and grabbed his school bag and pulled him back with a tug. “Where do you think you are going, young man?” Leon pulled against her grip and shot back, “Let go, or I’ll scream and tell everyone you are a child thief!”Bella rolled her eyes. “Too

The parents were over the moon as they were barely able to contain their excitement. They couldn’t believe the news and were still processing the reality of it all. After taking a moment to calm themselves, they proceeded to meet the doctor who then referred them to the gynecologist for further check-up. The gynecologist welcomed them in the office with a reassuring smile as she seemed to know that Nicholas Hart, the owner of the hospital that was handled by his sister Emery Hart, and began to patiently explain. “All the weakness and symptoms you have been experiencing are related to your pregnancy. Although we won’t know the baby’s health until the ultrasound, it’s clear that your body is quite weak at the moment which is likely due to the fact that you are not eating enough. This might continue to affect you until the end of the first trimester. But don’t worry, by the second trimester, you should start feeling much better. You may still lose some weight, but we will make sure you g

When they arrived home, Nicholas and Anne were a bundle of nerves. They were feeling a mix of happiness, stress, frustration, and excitement, all at once. They couldn’t stop staring at the ultrasound pictures and feels as if everything seemed almost too overwhelming to process.As they entered the house, they saw Leon and Coco were playing together in the living room, their laughter was heard outside the door. Ellora was there too much to their surprise and she had flown in to visit her grandchildren. Every month, she and Nikolai would come to New York to see their family and share a meal together with all of them. It had become a tradition that helped them to keep the family close and united as the elderly couple deeply missed their grandchildren and children when they were apart.Nicholas greeted his mother with surprise. “Mom, when did you get here?”Ellora smiled warmly. “I just arrived a few minutes ago. Nikolai had to go meet a sick friend and I didn’t want to be alone at the
