Noah sat across from me while Liam stayed beside me. Somehow just seeing Noah sitting there was enough to make my heart feel peaceful.It still didn’t feel real.A few days ago, I was terrified of losing him.Now Noah was here, having dinner with us while occasionally laughing softly at Liam’s jokes.I had been watching him the entire time.The way Noah ate so enthusiastically.The way he had started talking more again.The way he occasionally complained whenever I kept adding more food onto his plate.“Mommy, enough.”“Noah, finish your vegetables.”“I already ate a lot.”“Still not enough.”Noah immediately let out a long sigh with a helpless expression that made Liam chuckle.
Sienna's POV I still couldn’t stop smiling after Noah’s match ended. It felt like a huge weight had finally been lifted off my chest. Watching Noah stand in that ring, fighting until the very end, then winning honestly, I still could barely believe it. My son had really grown up. Maybe all this time, I’d been so busy being afraid that I forgot to see that. I stood beside Noah, occasionally fixing his slightly messy hair damp from sweat. The bouquet was still in his hands while Liam stayed busy checking the photos he had taken earlier. “Oh, this one’s good,” I said while looking at his phone screen. “You can totally see Noah smiling.” “Mommy.” Noah complained immediately, embarrassed. I laughed softly. “What? You look handsome.” Noah let out a helpless sigh right away. Honestly It had been so long since I’d seen that expression on him. A relaxed expression. One that wasn’t
Noah's POV I looked up toward the stands.Mommy was. Laughing at the same time hugging Daddy tightly before waving that giant banner again like the proudest person in the world.Nearby Rachel was still standing there watching me.This time her gaze wasn’t cold. Instead it held something softer.I let out a breath.Then without realizing it I smiled a little.Everything I went through finally felt worth it.Once the match ended and the atmosphere calmed down a little I finally climbed down from the ring with my body feeling weak.My breathing still hadn’t fully returned to normal sweat soaking my face and neck yet somehow my chest felt light.Really light.After a few steps down Mommy ran toward me first.“Noah!"The second she wrapped me in a tight hug.I stumbled slightly becaus
Noah's POV My breathing was a mess.That was the only thing running through my mind as my body nearly got trapped against the ring ropes. My arms felt heavy, my jaw throbbed from the earlier hit, and the roar of the crowd blended into a dizzying hum inside my ears.My opponent still stood in front of me with a confident stare.As if he already knew I was running out of energy.I stepped back half a pace while trying to steady my breathing.Don’t fall.Don’t lose now.Coach kept shouting from outside the ring, but my head was too crowded to catch his words clearly.“Noah!”That voice cut through all the noise.Mommy.I glanced toward the audience for a second.Mommy stood there gripping that huge banner with a panicked expression. Daddy stood beside her, watching the match with tense eyes.Then Mommy shouted again.“Noah, don’t give up!”My chest tightened instantly.Not because of exhaustion. Something else hit me
Noah's POV Spectators had already started filling the place since earlier in the afternoon. Loud music blasted through the speakers while staff members rushed back and forth around the building.Other fighters were also preparing themselves with serious expressions on their faces. Some looked calm, while others looked just as nervous as I felt.I adjusted the bag on my shoulder while taking a slow breath. Today truly felt real now.The coach called for us to head straight into the participants’ area. I walked together with the others toward the arena hallway.But my steps suddenly slowed when my eyes accidentally caught sight of something in the audience stands. And the moment I realized what it was, I stopped completely.Mommy and Daddy were already sitting there. They had arrived earlier than I expected.What almost made me want to hide my face immediately was the huge banner they were holding. I instantly closed my eyes for a second out of e
Noah's POVI sat by the window on the bus. Put my bag next to me. The bus started moving away from the training center.I rested my head on the window. Watched the city streets get busier in the morning. My hand tightened around my phone in my hoodie pocket without me realizing it. I unlocked the screen for a moment.There was a message from Mom a minutes ago.[We’re on our way. Good luck!]I looked at the message for a time.Then I smiled a little to myself.It was weird.Usually Moms excessive worrying annoyed me.Now it makes me feel calmer.I typed a reply.[Drive safely.]After sending it I locked my phone again. Stared ahead.My heart was still beating fast.This time it wasn’t because I was afraid of being alone.Because now I knew there would be someone in the audience today who
Sienna's POV Seeing Noah, I could sense the simplicity of happiness.No extravagant gatherings, no need for the world to acknowledge him - Noah's laughter is pure joy and I am right beside him. That was more than enough.Time passed quickly. With the evening sun setting, a red-h
Sienna's POV The freshness of the morning was palpable when we all left the house. As the sun rose from the sky, it was reflected in the trees along the roadside. With his new backpack on him, Noah shuffled between us and bounced back with ease, appearing to be too big for his small size.
Sienna's POV While Liam remained still, I turned and whispered "I think, maybe it's time to start over." Instead of answering, he looked up and gave me the impression that it was warming my heart. The verdict follows. Even without words, he understood at that moment.Noah
Sienna's POV The main door opened slowly, then came the noise of steps I knew well.Noah quickly turned from his seat and yelled in joy,“Daddy!” before leaping down and rushing to say hi to him.I grinned from the kitchen, still holding a dish I had just cleaned.
