I Got Pregnant For The Wrong Twin Chapter One Hundred and Eighty Four
SERENAThe box came home with us.I carried it through airport security, held it on my lap during the flight, kept it beside me in the car on the drive back to Miami. Aiden didn't ask why I wouldn't let it go. He didn't need to. He understood that some things were too precious to trust to baggage handlers and cargo holds.Hope was waiting on the porch with Carmen when we pulled into the driveway. She ran to me the way she always did, her small arms wrapping around my legs, her face pressed into my thighs. I set the box down carefully and scooped her up, held her close, breathed her in."Mama home," she said."Mama's home, baby. Mama's home."Carmen smiled and disappeared inside, giving us space. Aiden took the box and carried it into the living room, setting it on the coffee table where it would stay for the next several days, a centerpiece of memory and grief and hope.That night, after Hope was asleep, I sat on the floor in front of the box and opened it again. Not to search. Not to

SERENAThe call came on a Tuesday morning, three weeks after Adrian left.I was at the bakery, up to my elbows in flour, trying to finish a wedding cake order that was already behind schedule. Lily was on the phone with a supplier, arguing about delivery dates. Arya was in the back, dealing with a temperamental oven that had decided today was the day to stop working. It was chaos, the kind of chaos that had become normal, the kind that meant the business was thriving even when everything felt like it was falling apart.My phone buzzed. I ignored it at first, too focused on the piping bag in my hand, the delicate flowers I was trying to create. But it buzzed again. And again. And again.I wiped my hands on my apron and picked it up.Unknown number. New York area code."Hello?""Serena Delaney?" The voice on the other end was professional, clipped, the voice of someone who made phone calls for a living."This is she.""My name is Rebecca Thornton. I'm an attorney with Thornton & Associa

SERENAAdrian stayed for four days.The first morning, I woke up to the sound of him in the kitchen with Hope, the two of them making pancakes while Aiden slept in. I stood in the doorway and watched them, this uncle and his niece, the girl who looked so much like my daughter and the man who could have been her father if things had gone differently. There was no bitterness in the observation anymore. Just a quiet acceptance, a recognition of the path not taken and the peace that came with letting it go.Hope was sitting on the counter, a bowl of pancake batter in her lap, her small hands covered in flour. Adrian was beside her, his back to me, his voice low and patient as he explained the difference between stirring and mixing, the importance of not overworking the batter. He was good at this, I realized. Better than I had expected. Being a father had changed him in ways I hadn't seen until now."Good morning," I said.Adrian turned. His face broke into a smile, the kind that reached

ADRIANThe penthouse was quiet.It was always quiet now, in a way it hadn't been before Maria left. Before the baby. Before everything fell apart and rearranged itself into something I still didn't recognize. I stood at the window and watched the city below, the lights of New York spreading out like a circuit board, and tried to remember the last time I had felt something other than this low, constant hum of emptiness.My daughter was asleep in the nursery down the hall. Ella. Two years old now, with her mother's dark hair and my stubbornness, already showing signs of the fierce independence that would probably drive me crazy in a few years. She was the reason I got out of bed in the morning. The reason I went to work, made the calls, attended the meetings. The reason I hadn't completely disappeared into the grief and guilt and regret that had been threatening to swallow me whole.Maria had taken a job in Chicago six months ago. We had agreed on shared custody, on alternating holidays

SERENAThe key sat on my nightstand for another month before I touched it again.I had stopped obsessing. That was the word Lily used, and she was right. I had been obsessing, turning the key over in my hands, staring at the number 247, replaying every conversation and every letter and every possibility until my brain felt like it might short circuit. But something had shifted after the cemetery, after my mother's grave, after the long drive home with the stars overhead and the highway stretching out before me. I had let go. Not completely. Not forever. But enough.Aiden noticed, because Aiden noticed everything. He didn't say anything. He just watched me with those patient eyes, the ones that had seen me through panic attacks and nightmares and the slow, painful work of putting myself back together. He knew I would get there eventually. He just had to wait.It was Hope who finally broke the stalemate.She was playing in our bedroom, the way she did every morning while I got dressed.

SERENAPacking always looked easier in movies. You know, with the soft lighting, the sentimental music, and two friends folding clothes neatly and laughing at old memories. In real life, it was chaos. Literal chaos. My entire wardrobe was currently scattered across the floor like an explosion had b

AIDENI kept my eyes on Serena longer than I should have. I know I shouldn’t have, but I couldn’t help it. Her dress hugged her gently, flowing around the curve of her stomach like it was made for her, and like she was glowing from the inside out. The bump wasn't small anymore, and it was actually

SERENAI walked as fast as I could without actually running, pushing through the hallway like the walls were closing in, and the moment I found the sign for the restroom, I practically dove inside. The soft music from the ballroom faded when the door swung shut behind me, replaced by the quiet hum

SERENAI’m not a petty person. I know this as much as I know my own name. When someone offends me, I get over it the quickly and move on. It’s the only way I know how to deal with people. And when Aiden practically threw me out of his penthouse (I know he technically didn’t, but I’m allowed to be d
