View MoreAvery's POVThe late afternoon sun bathed the garden in soft golden hues, casting a warm glow over rows of blooming hydrangeas, roses, and lilies.Every seat was filled, family and friends gathered beneath an arch woven with white fabric and delicate greenery. Soft music floated in the air, a gentle tune that carried laughter, hope, and all the emotions neither Asher nor Avery could quite put into words.Avery stood at the far end of the aisle, her hand clutching a small bouquet of peonies, her favorite. Georgia had insisted they were perfect for her. Laurel smoothed the soft lace sleeve of her dress one last time and gave her a wink before stepping back. The twins stood near Asher and Nolan in matching suspenders and little bow ties, trying to look serious but clearly bubbling with excitement.She took a shaky breath.The dress was not elaborate, nothing like the one she had imagined as a little girl. It was simple, soft ivory satin, gently hugging her shape before flowing to the g
Avery's POV Dinner at the Storm mansion was nothing like Avery remembered dinners being. They weren’t stiff or quiet or awkward, filled with measured words and judging glances. No, this was something else entirely. The long oak table was crowded, the air warm with laughter and the smell of roasted chicken and garlic bread. Glasses clinked. Kael had already spilled his juice twice. Neal and Noel were giggling about a secret joke only they understood, and Georgia had her hair tied in a loose bun, her smile softer than Avery had ever seen.Asher sat beside Avery, his hand brushing hers every now and then beneath the table, a silent reassurance that she still hadn’t imagined it all, that this was her life now. Her real life.Laurel was seated across from her, cutting up Kael’s chicken while the boy alternated between chattering and shoving bread into his mouth. He was a sweet kid, smart, and a little shy when he’d first arrived. But tonight, he seemed to belong as naturally as the oth
Asher’s POV The words hit him, not like a shock, because he already knew, but like a gentle confirmation of something sacred he had held quietly, painfully, hopefully in his heart for months.He reached out, brushing a strand of hair from her face. Her eyes were wide, bracing for rejection or disbelief. It made something burn hot inside him, protective, fierce.“I know,” he said softly.Her breath caught. “Y-you… already know?”He nodded.“When? How?” Her voice was a whisper of confusion, maybe even fear.Asher exhaled slowly. “From the very moment I saw Neal at the shopping mall.” His lips curved, faint and bittersweet. “His blond hair… the same shade I had when I was six. The same curls. The same dimples.” He paused, emotion tightening his voice. “He looked exactly like me. They both do.”Avery stared at him in stunned silence. He could almost see the thoughts rushing through her, shock, disbelief, relief, guilt, hope. They all flickered in her eyes like shifting light.“And Noel?”
Asher’s POVAsher stared at her, breath caught in his throat, as if the world had paused just to let her words sink in.Pregnant.The soft echo of that single word seemed to linger in the air long after Avery spoke it.Her eyes were wide, unfocused, almost dazed. Her lips parted slightly as though she herself could not believe what she had just said. Her fingers drifted down to touch her stomach in an unconscious, gentle motion, like someone seeking reassurance that what they realized was real and not imagined.Asher’s heart began pounding in a slow, heavy rhythm that made it difficult to breathe. He moved closer without realizing it.Avery licked her lips nervously. “I just realized,” she said softly. “It hit me when I felt the nausea earlier. And then I counted. The days. The symptoms. It makes sense now.”The room around him faded into a distant blur. The hum of the machines, the faint footsteps in the hallway, even the soft breathing of the boys asleep on the couch.
