Lina’s POV

The next few days didn’t blur together the way they used to.

Before, time felt like something that either dragged too slowly or moved too fast for me to keep up with. There was no middle ground. No balance.

Now…

It felt steady.

Each day had its own shape, its own rhythm, and I was starting to recognize it instead of getting lost inside it.

That morning, I woke up before my alarm.

Not out of habit.

Not out of stress.

Just… naturally.

I stayed in bed for a moment, st

  • Exposed At The Altar   Chosen Completely

    POV: LinaThe hospital room felt too quiet after everything the doctor said.Not empty.Just the kind of quiet that makes every thought louder.I sat on the edge of the bed while the nurse adjusted something near the monitor before leaving us alone again. Daniel was standing near the window with his hands in his pockets, staring outside like he was trying to process everything before speaking.I understood the feeling.The complication wasn’t small.The doctor had explained it carefully, calmly, but there was no way to soften what it meant. My body was under more pressure now. The pregnancy was progressing, but not safely enough for anyone to relax anymore.Monitoring.Restrictions.Possibility of emergency delivery if things worsened.The words kept replaying in my head.I looked down at my hands.“You’re thinking too much again,” Daniel said quietly without turning around.I almost rolled my eyes.“That’s literally all we’ve been doing today.”That finally made him turn toward me.B

  • Exposed At The Altar   Things Starting To Go Wrong

    POV: LinaThe next morning, Lina knew something was wrong before she even fully got out of bed.At first, she ignored it.Not because she didn’t care, but because pregnancy had already changed so many little things in her body that she’d stopped reacting to every discomfort immediately. Some mornings she felt tired. Some days her back hurt. Sometimes she woke up dizzy or uncomfortable for no reason.So when she opened her eyes and felt the dull ache low in her stomach, she stayed still for a second and tried to convince herself it was nothing serious.Maybe she slept badly.Maybe she moved too quickly yesterday.Maybe she was overthinking.But when she finally sat up slowly, the pain tightened again.Not unbearable.Just enough to make her pause.She frowned slightly and rested her hand against her stomach automatically.“Okay…” she muttered quietly to herself.The apartment was silent around her. Too early for anyone to be calling yet. Even Maya usually waited until after seven befor

  • Exposed At The Altar   Learning How To Stay

    The morning came quietly.No announcement. No shift in feeling. Just light slipping through the curtains the same way it had been doing for days now.I stayed in bed a little longer than usual, not because I was tired, but because I could.That alone still felt new in a strange way.My hand moved again before I even fully opened my eyes.Same place.Same motion.I didn’t think about it anymore after that.I just lay there for a moment, listening to the silence in the room.No rush inside my chest.No sudden thoughts pulling me up too fast.Just stillness.My phone buzzed once on the bedside table.Then again.I didn’t reach for it immediately.I already knew.Maya.I finally turned my head and picked it up.Three messages.Don’t lie down too long after waking.Eat within one hour.Drink water first.I stared at the screen for a second.Then unlocked it.I have seen them.Almost immediately:Good.I dropped the phone back down.Not irritated.Just… aware of her.Like a constant rhythm

  • Exposed At The Altar   When Silence Starts To Feel Different

    We didn’t say anything on the way out of the scan room. Not because there was nothing to say. Just because nothing needed to be forced into words. My body still felt a little strange, like it hadn’t fully caught up with what just happened. Not weak. Not shaken. Just aware in a way I couldn’t ignore. Daniel walked beside me the same way he had walked in—steady, quiet, not rushing me ahead or holding me back. Just there. We passed the corridor slowly, the same fluorescent lights, the same faint smell of antiseptic, the same movement of people who didn’t know anything about what had just happened in that room. But I knew. And he knew. That was enough. When we got back to the car, I paused for a second before getting in. Not because I didn’t want to. Just… because I needed a second to breathe without everything around me. Daniel didn’t speak. He just waited. Like he understood that silence was part of it now. I got in. He closed the door gently and walked around to the dr

  • Exposed At The Altar   The Things You Can’t Unsee

    POV: Lina I barely slept. Not because I was panicking. Not because I was afraid. My mind just never fully settled into rest, lingering somewhere between awareness and exhaustion the entire night. Every time I closed my eyes for too long, I became aware of tomorrow again. No. Today. The appointment. The reality of it sat quietly in my chest from the moment I opened my eyes that morning. Not loud. Just there. I stared at the ceiling for a while before reaching for my phone on the bedside table. The screen lit up immediately. 6:12 AM. And three unread messages. Maya. Of course. Don’t skip breakfast. Another one. Drink water before you leave. And the last: Be ready on time. I let out a soft breath through my nose, locking the phone again before dropping it back onto the bed beside me. Somehow, her messages didn’t irritate me anymore. They grounded me. I stayed there for another minute before finally sitting up slowly. The room was still quiet, the early morning li

I stayed in bed for a moment, staring at the ceiling, letting my body catch up with being awake before I moved. My hand rested where it always seemed to go now, the motion so familiar that I didn’t even register it as something new anymore. It wasn’t strange. It wasn’t overwhelming. It just… was. After a few minutes, I sat up and stretched lightly, my body adjusting slowly before I got out of bed. The room felt calm, the kind of calm that didn’t feel temporary anymore. Like it wasn’t going to disappear the moment s
