*Levi*

She slowly shakes her head, her eyes suddenly painful. "The swelling is gone..."

"But isn't that a good thing?" I badly want some positive news.

"No, of course, it is good that the swelling is gone, but... Levi, that means his paralysis is most likely permanent." She says with a sigh.

I swallow hard, wanting to stay strong for her. "Oh... right." Another swallow. "I am so sorry, darling, I should never have let him on the horse."

"You heard it yourself, that poor horse was being tortured; it wasn't your fault," she says, wrapping her arms around me. "So, I am sorry if it ever felt like I was blaming you."

And that is my undoing; I can't keep the tears back, so my word comes out as a strained sob. "Thanks."

"Don't cry, Levi." She hugs me tighter.

"I know... it ruins my makeup," I mumble into her hair.

She giggles. "Like I care, but you are making me cry."

We are standing like that for a long time, just holding each other, comforting each other.

  • My secret baby with the moviestar   Epilogue

    10 years later*Willa*“I still can’t believe that I’m a grandmother,” I say in awe, cradling the tiny boy in my arms. His delicate features are so new to the world, and yet he feels like a part of me already. “And for twins, nonetheless.”Just ten days ago, Will and Dawn welcomed their beautiful twins… a boy and a girl… into the world, thanks to the incredible generosity of Dawn's cousin, who acted as their surrogate. In a beautiful twist of fate, Will also donated sperm to the cousin and her wife, who are expecting their own baby in about a month. It’s a beautiful exchange of love and support between families, and while I was initially anxious about the arrangement… what if the cousin decided she wanted to keep the babies or if there was some kind of falling out? … everything unfolded so perfectly. My heart swells with pride for both couples; they’ve truly helped one another in a most meaningful way.Levi gently rocks our granddaughter in his arms, humming softly as he gazes down at

    5 weeks later*Dawn*"Hi honey." I grin as I open the door to Will, letting him in. He is walking well enough now to go most places with just the help of a crutch, and his lip is getting smaller day by day. He will never be a sprinter, but he is beyond happy to be walking."Hi sweetheart, I am home." He smiles and puts down his bag.My parents are away for the weekend, and Will is staying over here. "So, ready for a weekend of fun?"He just grins and pulls me closer to him, kissing me silly. And I feel the butterflies go crazy in my stomach. I know I am ready for this, and I am sure he is too. I also know he would probably never take the first step, so I will have to."So, what are our plans for the weekend?" he asks, while planting small kisses down my neck, making me close my eyes, enjoying the feeling of his lips on my skin.I smile at him, taking a deep breath before answering. "Well, I actually have quite a lot of plans." I let a hand slide up under his T-shirt, feeling how all h

  • My secret baby with the moviestar   Stepping up

    4 days later*Dawn*A soft knock reverberates through my room, pulling my attention away from the pages of the book I’m engrossed in. I glance up, curiosity prickling at the back of my mind. Will is supposed to be at his doctor's appointment today, so it can’t be him. “Yeah?!” I call out, my voice echoing slightly in the quiet space.The door creaks open, revealing a familiar face framed in the doorway. “Can I come in?” Jason’s voice is hesitant, almost fragile.My heart skips a beat at the sight of him. “You?!” I spin around, shock coursing through me. No, I must be imagining things… how could it be him standing there? “What do you want? Your… friend is out of jail, so maybe you should go be with him.” The words tumble out, a defensive reflex.I take an instinctive step back, uncertainty gnawing at me. Why is he here? But the thought of him coming into my home, into my personal space to hurt me or threaten me seems absurd. Surely he wouldn’t be that reckless.“He isn’t my friend… not

    *Willa*“Mom! Dad!” I hear Will’s voice call out as the front door swings open, and an icy knot of dread twists in my stomach. Instinctively, I know something is wrong.Levi leaps to his feet, urgency written all over his face as he rushes into the hallway. Moments later, he returns, cradling a sobbing Dawn in his arms. Will follows closely behind, his face a mask of distress. “She seemed okay at first, but then… she just started crying,” he stammers, his voice trembling.“What happened?” I ask, my heart racing with worry as Levi gently places Dawn on the couch beside me. I wrap my arm around her and pull a soft blanket around her shivering frame, wanting nothing more than to shield her from the world’s cruelty.“It was Terry… a boy from school. You know, one of the ones who has been bullying her. He stopped us and… he…” Will pauses, his eyes squeezing shut as if trying to block out the memory. “He wanted to force himself on Dawn.”Horror washes over me as Dawn buries her head deeper

  • My secret baby with the moviestar   Anything for her

    *Will*True panic grips me, an iron vice tightening around my chest. Of course, I’m terrified for Dawn and the peril she’s in at this very moment. But intertwined with that fear are the haunting echoes of my past… memories of my mom and Dan, and that suffocating sensation of helplessness that wrapped itself around me then, just as it does now. The weight of not being able to save someone you love is a burden that never truly lifts, and I can feel it pressing down on me, suffocating.“Help! Help us!” I scream into the encroaching darkness, my voice cracking under the strain of desperation, praying that some passerby out for an evening stroll might catch wind of our plight. I pivot my gaze back to Terry, my heart racing. “Please, don’t do this… let her go… we can still walk away from this.”“Walk… funny,” he replies with a sneer, the twisted grin on his face sending a chill through me. “You can scream all you want, wheels… the only house close enough for anyone to hear you is mine, and

    Saturday*Dawn*“So, where do you want to go next?” Will says, his eyes sparkling with genuine enthusiasm as he smiles at me.“Hmm.” I glance down the street, the vibrant storefronts beckoning with their colorful displays. “I could really use a new mascara and maybe a lipstick. But then again… I mean, looking at makeup might be rather boring for you.”He shakes his head vigorously, his expression earnest. “Dawn, today is your day. Besides, seeing the joy on your face… nothing is boring as long as I’m with you.” His words wrap around me like a warm blanket, and I can’t help but smile wider.“Aww, you are just the sweetest,” I tell him, feeling a flutter of warmth in my chest. “I promise I’ll be quick, though. Then maybe after, we can stop for a cold drink somewhere nice.”“Sounds perfect,” he replies, his smile broadening, making my heart skip a beat.We stroll down the street, the sounds of laughter and the scent of fresh pastries wafting through the air as we approach the makeup stor
