Chapter 287: I Was Scared

Roman

I wasn’t sure which part amused me more—the fact that Savannah thought I was asleep… or the fact that River had been assigned the monumental responsibility of “watching over me” and was instead hunched over her phone, aggressively tapping at some obnoxiously loud game.

Granted, I had fallen asleep earlier. Savannah’s hands had a way of quieting everything inside me. The moment she touched my hair, stroked my scalp, or even rested her palm against my chest, the c

    Chapter 300: You Did ItRoman Six months later…“Savannah, I think you should rest.” I said. I’d said it so many times that the words had started losing structure, dissolving into a sound that lived somewhere between worry and pleading.She didn’t even turn this time. She simply kept folding impossibly tiny onesies with intense concentration, like the fate of the world depended on whether the sleeves aligned perfectly.“I’m fine, Roman,” she said, smoothing the fabric with deliberate care. “I just need to finish organizing this. The twins can’t come into chaos.”The nursery smelled faintly of fresh paint and baby powder. Sunlight filtered through sheer curtains, laying a soft golden glow across the two cribs I had spent the last week assembling with near-obsessive precision. Every screw tightened twice. Every edge sanded smooth.Two cribs. Even now, the reality of it pulsed quietly through me. Two different people. Two lives. Two tiny humans who would call me father.Savannah steppe

  • From Best Friend To Fiancé    Our Children

    Chapter 299: Our ChildrenSavannah Later that day…We stood in the driveway, staring at the house, and something inside me simply… refused it. It wasn’t dramatic. There was no sudden wave of dread or sharp, instinctive alarm. Just a quiet, stubborn resistance blooming in my chest like a flower that refused to open. A strong and certain no. I didn't like it. The house was objectively beautiful. Sleek architecture. Clean angles. Expansive glass panels that reflected the sky like a mirror. Sunlight clearly poured across its surface, making it shimmer in a way that was probably meant to impress.But it didn’t feel like a home. It felt like a display case.I folded my arms loosely across my stomach, tilting my head as I studied the structure again, searching for warmth and finding none.“Ummm… Roman,” I murmured, lowering my voice, “are you thinking what I’m thinking?”He didn’t answer immediately. His gaze traced the length of the glass façade, then drifted toward the open stretch of

  • From Best Friend To Fiancé    You’re Incredible

    Chapter 298: You're Incredible Savannah One Month LaterI angled my body slightly, turning this way and that in front of the mirror as if a new perspective might reveal something I hadn’t already memorized. My hand rested over the gentle curve of my stomach, fingers splayed with a tenderness that felt instinctive. I was showing.Not dramatically swollen though. But enough that strangers would know. But to me, who had watched every subtle change with near-obsessive attention, it was unmistakable. A gentle rounding. A softness where there had once been flatness. There was proof that something miraculous was unfolding inside me.A smile spread slowly across my face. I traced slow circles over my belly, imagining tiny fingers, tiny toes, a heartbeat so small yet so determined.I couldn’t wait to feel the first kick. I couldn’t wait for the moment this invisible, tiny presence made itself known in a way I could feel, not just believe.I had been lucky. My doctor said so at every visit.

  • From Best Friend To Fiancé    Timing Is Everything

    Chapter 297: Timing Is Everything Savannah “Oh my God, we’re finally getting married.” The words slipped out of me before I could stop them. Roman glanced at me from the driver’s seat, one hand resting loosely on the wheel, the other reaching across the console to lace his fingers through mine. His thumb brushed over my knuckles in slow, absent circles. “We are, baby,” he said simply.The city drifted past outside the window in muted motion—traffic lights blinking, pedestrians crossing, morning sunlight glinting off glass buildings. Everything looked ordinary. But nothing felt ordinary about today to me. I pressed my lips together, fighting the strange, overwhelming urge to cry and laugh at the same time.“I thought…” I paused, searching for words that wouldn’t sound too heavy for such a bright morning. “I thought we’d never make it here.”Roman’s grip tightened slightly, grounding me. “I never doubted we would,” he admitted quietly. “And I never stopped wanting it.”I turned to

  • From Best Friend To Fiancé    This Isn’t Goodbye

    Chapter 296: This Isn't Goodbye Savannah The moment I stepped into the living room, joy unfurled inside me so suddenly it almost stole my breath. For a heartbeat, I simply stood there, unable to move and unable to think—just feeling. The air smelled faintly of home, of familiarity and safety, of something warm and lived-in that I had missed more than I ever realized.I hadn’t allowed myself to imagine this moment out of fear that I might never return here. And yet here I was—standing exactly where I belonged, alive, whole, and wrapped in a quiet, overwhelming happiness that made my chest ache.It felt unreal. Like I might blink and wake up somewhere large, cold and unfamiliar again.But I did blink. And nothing disappeared. This is real. A fragile sense of peace settled over me, slow and steady. Piece by piece, the broken fragments of my life had found their way back together. The storm had not erased me after all. If anything, it had carved out space for something stronger to take

  • From Best Friend To Fiancé    More Than Ready

    Chapter 295: More Than Ready Savannah Everything felt unreal. Like I had slipped into a dream so vivid my senses couldn’t decide whether to trust it or fear waking from it.One moment I had been curled on River’s lap, my face buried against her thigh while she stroked my hair with patient, soothing motions. She had whispered quiet reassurances into the heavy air, telling me everything would be alright. Telling me she believed her brother would make the right choice.She had said it with conviction — the kind that almost forces hope into a heart too tired to believe on its own.“He’ll choose you,” she’d murmured. “Roman won’t lose you. He'll always put you first.”And then… The door burst open.Roman stood there like a superhero from an action film. Like a man who had already made a decision and burned every bridge behind him to reach it.His presence filled the room before he even spoke. His gaze found mine immediately, unwavering, intense, and something deep inside me recognized th
