Aria’s POV

Friday Afternoon

Well, i can actually say that this day has been full of surprises.

First, when I walked into my office this morning, there was a massive black and white shopping Gucci bag on my desk, paired with a smaller bag from Corner Bakery. Kim popped in right behind me, grinning like a cat with cream.

“Girl, a courier dropped this off earlier from the Gucci store and the bakery. Come on, open it. I’m too excited.”

    Five Years LaterThird-Person POVFive years later, she sighed as she packed up all five of their children for the birthday party.Yes, all five.After the triplets, they were done. Completely done. She had told Jalen that lovingly and firmly: they had started having babies in their thirties, and they were finishing in their thirties. That was that.Now the triplets were officially five years old. Elliot was six, turning seven. Levi was eight, turning nine. And this year, for the first time, every single one of them would be in all-day school.Thank you, God.She stood in the bedroom doorway while Jalen walked in and said, with mock seriousness, “Okay, everyone is dressed. They color-coded everything the way you like. The twins insisted on their skirts. Their brother chose shorts. All plaid. Coordinated to death.”She exhaled slowly. “Jalen, you know how to dress our children. I don’t see the problem.”“Let’s just look at them,” he said, raising his voice. “Abigail! Arthur! Ariah! Le

    Epilogue 4 Three Years LaterJalen’s POV“Okay, Jalen, now I love you to death, babe, but you can’t keep doing this.”I look up at her from the living room floor. “Keep doing what?”She just points.I follow her finger and yeah. I’m on the floor with our two kids, Mega Blocks everywhere like a plastic landmine field. Not regular Legos either. No. The big ones. The ones that still somehow hurt like hell when you step on them.Our daughter, Levi—two going on three—is stacking blocks like she’s designing a luxury condo. Our son, Elliot—one year old and built like a tiny linebacker—is bulldozing everything she makes.And apparently Aria stepped on one.I sigh. “Babe, we’re just having fun. We’re building a house, right, Levi?”She nods fast. “Yes, Daddy. Big house for you.”Aria’s whole face softens. “Oh my cute girl.”Levi looks just like her mama with long thick curls, full lashes, that warm tan skin. My heart doesn’t stand a chance. Elliot, on the other hand, is chaos in a diaper. He

    Epilogue 3 Another Baby Is BornThird-Person POV By the time the weeks after the wedding had passed, Aria was officially over being pregnant.At forty-two weeks pregnant, whole body swollen, exhausted, and her being beyond impatient, she waddled through the house like a woman carrying a personal grudge against gravity. The baby hadn’t dropped, hadn’t budged, hadn’t given even the smallest hint of an exit strategy out of her body.She stopped in the hallway, one hand pressed to her lower back, the other cradling her rounded belly.“Why don’t you want to come out?” she muttered. “I know this world is messy, but I need my body back, baby.”From the living room, her mother burst out laughing.“What in the hell do you have on, girl?”Aria looked down at the oversized floral gown. “This is what a stylist for older women would call a moo-moo.”Lucy cackled. “Not a moo-moo!”“Yes a fucking ugly ass moo-moo. What else am I supposed to wear?” Aria snapped. “I’m a thousand months pregnant.”H

    Epilogue 2 Aria’s POV I sit at my vanity staring at myself, my hands resting on top of my very pregnant belly, trying to calm the nerves bouncing around inside my chest. This is really happening. We’re getting married. Today. Amara is sitting on the bed behind me with both babies, rocking them like it’s the most normal thing in the world. “So,” I say, turning to her, “how are we gonna make this work?” She tilts her head. “Sis… put the damn dress on and let’s go.” I laugh and waddle into the bathroom. Seven months pregnant, belly huge, butt just as big. It’s a whole situation. But Jaylen wants to be married before the baby gets here, so here we are having quick backyard wedding. Our backyard. My house didn’t sell because my parents decided to move into it after they both retired and wanted to become fulltime grandparents. Their house went on the market and sold immediately. The location was in Evergreen and houses rarely go up for sale out there . You know how that goes. I l

    A Baby Is BornThird Person POV Pain tore through Talia’s body in relentless waves, each contraction stronger than the last.She had always thought she had a high tolerance for pain with her past surgeries, procedures, and recovery periods that would have broken other people. None of it compared to this.This was torture.Bent forward, one hand braced against her lower back, she waddled toward the porch while her grandmother clutched the hospital bags and Tony sprinted ahead to the car in a full panic.“Hold on, child, he’s coming,” her grandmother kept saying, tightening her grip around Talia’s arm as another contraction hit.Tony pulled the car so close to the porch it was a miracle he didn’t take out the steps. He jumped out and ran to her.“I’m coming, baby, I’m coming!”Before she could protest, he scooped her up bridal style.“Shit, this hurts,” she groaned.“Well,” he said breathlessly, trying to joke through his fear, “my mama says when you’re having a baby you got one foot i

By the time closing arguments were scheduled, everyone involved was exhausted.Aria was well into her second trimester, moving slower now, one hand almost constantly resting at the curve of her belly. Talia, on the other hand, was at the very end of her third trimester, her steps careful, Tony hovering beside her like a protective shadow. Both women were visibly over it.When they arrived at the courthouse on 26 in California, they looked at each other, sighed in perfect unison, and said, “Let’s get this shit done.”Inside the courtroom, Aria and Jalen walked in hand in hand. Talia and Tony followed, along with Talia’s grandmother, Hunter, and his security detail. The air felt heavy, like everyone was holding their breath for the same reason.Aria glanced at Hunter. “I hope this is it.”Hunter gave a humorless laugh. “The evidence is damning, premeditated murder, embezzleme
