The sun rises quite late as it is winter season, snow quietly filled the streets, the roofs, and people started to clean up their driveway. Many people start their day early despite the cold. They started their morning with a greeting and smile plastered on their faces.

While in the GoKaria Technology Inc., Quality Department team 3,(Emilia's team) was busy preparing for a small farewell surprise for Emilia, noting that it is Emilia's last day in the office. The company's office hours start at 8:00 am and end at 12:00 pm, a lunch break for an hour and a half, and the office hours in the afternoon starts at 1:30 pm to 5:00 pm.

On this day, according to what Luisa had told them, today being the last day that Emilia would come to the company. She would only come to the office to give a few pointers for Rosabelle and say goodbye to her team, to Mr. Adams, and to Miss Klau.

The team bought gifts that they had planned weeks ago with Luisa. Denver brought white roses, while a white coat from Jules, white chocolates and a teddy bear from Rosabelle,  and white boots from Luisa, which was her reason as to why she volunteered to help Emilia to pack her things two weeks ago.

While the others are busy hiding their gifts from any minute from now, Emilia will be in the office, a figure came over, and it was their Department's manager, Miss Klau with a shopping bag in hand.

"Good morning Miss Klau." The team and Luisa greeted her. Miss Klau responded with a smile, and asked: "She's not here yet?"

Rosabelle who was standing close to Miss Klau smiled at her and shakes her head as an answer to Miss Klau's question.

"Is that so? hmm... that's good then. When she arrives, tell her to go straight to Gion's office first. I'll let you all free up your morning and resume your work after lunch."  Miss Klau said and bid her goodbye before heading to Gion's office. Rosabelle and the rest cheered up from the news.

Four hours prior...,

Emilia woke up from the pain on the side of her belly it is due to her expanding womb, also known as round ligament pains, headaches, and sore breasts which are said that it was one of the signs for a 15th-week of pregnancy. Emilia spends quite a lot of time standing up and freshen herself up before walking to the kitchen for her breakfast. Two days ago, Emilia was confronted by Luisa saying she was having a weird craving after witnessing Emilia eating a bar of white chocolate dipped with mayonnaise and garlic cream cheese.

Emilia decided to eat pasta and a boiled egg. She first prepared the ingredients and boiled water for the egg and salted water for the pasta, leaving it to cook for 8 to 10 minutes. She lit the fire and started grating the sharp white cheddar cheese measured to one-half cup, finely chopped the bacon, minced one clove of garlic, and lightly beaten two large eggs. Emilia put two eggs in the boiling water and checked if the pasta is ready. While waiting, Emilia took out fresh milk from her refrigerator and drink a cup of it before looking for an apple to eat.

"Where is my phone?" Emilia walks to her room to retrieve her phone and went back to the kitchen and turned off the heat for her boiling egg. She placed warm water in a ceramic bowl and place the boiled egg. Afterward, Emilia put olive oil in a skillet to heat. Add bacon and saute until it has rendered its fat and bits are crisp. Next, she added the garlic and saute it for a few seconds, and removed the skillet from the heat to set aside. She checked the pasta once again, and it was done. So she turned off the heat and drained the pasta before returning it to the pot. Emilia whisk the eggs and the cheddar cheese together and seasoned it with salt and pepper. later on, She thoroughly combined the pasta with the bacon, garlic, and oil, while stirring the pasta continuously, slowly pouring in the egg mixture, and turned the heat into low heat, until the eggs thicken into a sauce.

After cooking, Emilia set aside the dishes and put them away neatly. She called her moving company for the confirmation of the time they will set off later in the afternoon. Emilia's parents were already aware that she will be coming home while not telling them about her being pregnant.

    **Later That Day** By the time the last visitor left, the room finally exhaled. Silence drifted back in, soft and familiar. The sunlight had shifted into a warm afternoon glow, filtering through the curtains and landing right on the cribs, where Amilia and Eden slept peacefully. Emilia leaned back against her pillows, completely spent but content. Her hair was messy again, her lips dry, but her eyes had that unmistakable sparkle — the kind that said I’m tired, but my heart’s full. Aiden was crouched near the cribs, his hand resting lightly on the edge. He’d barely spoken for the last few minutes, just… watching. “You’re staring again,” Emilia said softly, her voice half teasing. “Can you blame me?” he murmured without looking up. “I’m just making sure they’re real.” “They are,” she said. “And they’re definitely yours. I checked.” He finally glanced up, one corner of his mouth lifting. “You sure? Maybe I should do a DNA test, just in case.” “Try it,” she said, arching

  • Everything happened for a Reason   A Morning of Love and Laughter

    Emilia scowled. “This is so unfair! I carried them for nine months, and they don’t even look like me! This is an injustice!” The room erupted in laughter. Rachel and Lilianna were utterly amused by Emilia’s outburst, remembering their own experiences as new mothers. Rachel stepped forward and tapped Aiden’s shoulder. “I had the same reaction when you and your brother were born,” she said, smiling fondly. “I wanted at least one baby who looked like me, but your dad’s genes were just too strong. Thankfully, Tamara takes after me, so I’m content. Now, Mia, give me more grandchildren—maybe one of them will finally look like you.” Lilianna laughed at Rachel’s teasing advice. “Mia,” she said warmly, “I was just grateful you had a mix of your dad’s and my features when I first saw you. Though I’ll admit—I did wish you looked a bit more like me. We could’ve passed for twins.” The room filled with chatter and laughter before slowly quieting down when it was time for Emilia to

    After that night—when Riel ended up staying over at Bea’s house after she got drunk at the company dinner—they parted ways with awkward goodbyes and exchanged contact information, promising to keep things professional. And they did. At least, that’s what they told themselves. They continued to act as usual in the office—bickering whenever the chance presented itself, pretending nothing had changed. But beneath that façade, something had shifted. Since that night, both Bea and Riel had grown strangely aware of each other’s presence. Their playful arguments dwindled, replaced by subtle glances and quieter moments. Perhaps it was because they now talked privately over chat whenever they had time—small conversations that slowly bridged the distance between them. Each message revealed a sliver more of who they really were, and before long, they began finding each other… less annoying. The change didn’t go unnoticed. Their coworkers, long accustomed to the fiery exchanges between

  • Everything happened for a Reason   The Day They Came

    Weeks had passed, and Emilia’s due date was fast approaching. She was pacing slowly around the living room, one hand supporting her back while the other rested gently on her belly. Aiden sat on the couch nearby, skimming through documents. Ever since he found out about her pregnancy, he had rarely left her side. He monitored everything—her diet, her rest, even how long she was allowed to use her phone. Eventually, she was banned from using it altogether unless someone called her directly. Emilia's parents were already in the States. They had stepped out for a short walk, and though Emilia longed to go with them, Aiden wouldn’t let her out of his sight. Then, it happened. She stopped in her tracks, her eyes widening. Her water had broken. Frozen in shock, she turned to look at Aiden. His face drained of color the moment he realized what was happening. Without a word, he jumped to his feet, grabbed his phone, and called the driver. "Aunt Mei! Get the emergency bag!" he barked, e

    "Yes. Yes. I will be with you tonight. Just Stop, please." Loren pulled up his hands from Aerys underwear and licked them. He smiled at Aerys and kissed her. That night, Aerys was not able to meet with Darren and Emilia. ---------- The couple went inside. There was an awkward silence hovering in the atmosphere. Emilia wanted to ask why Aiden was waiting outside. But she felt like it was not the right time to raise that question right now. Aiden went straight to the kitchen and poured himself a glass of water to calm his raging temper. After consuming two cups of cold water, he grabbed a clean glass then poured water for Emilia. When Aiden came in, he saw Emilia coming out of their room. Emilia was wearing a loose comfortable clothes, and her face was free of cosmetics. Aiden smiled when he realized that Emilia was wearing his shirt. She looked fresh and young. Emilia's appearance was incredibly charming, and Aiden also finds her sexy and seductive in some ways. Aiden could no

    Like any day, people get excited when their shift ends. Aerys tidied up her area while waiting for the next person assigned for the night shift. "Do you want to come with us to drink, Loren?" Hearing some voices, Aerys looked up and saw Loren and the others coming down. She glanced at the wall clock and saw it was time for her shift to end. 'She's late.' Aerys kept on glancing at the employee's area, hoping that the person to relieve her would be there. It was a company policy for the reception booth to be left unattended. "I'll pass," Loren said with a smiling face. But his eyes hid annoyance. From the first day Loren's co-workers started t
