Briar’s POV

I hurried towards my table, grabbing my tablet and car key. Rissa stopped by my desk.

“Why are you in a hurry?” She asked.

“I am headed to the dialysis center and it’s about to rain. According to the weather forecast, it will pour heavily. I would hate for work to be stalled because of it. So the intention is to get there on time and get the ones that can be handled to get going.” I explained in a single breath.

    Briar’s POVI hurried towards my table, grabbing my tablet and car key. Rissa stopped by my desk. “Why are you in a hurry?” She asked. “I am headed to the dialysis center and it’s about to rain. According to the weather forecast, it will pour heavily. I would hate for work to be stalled because of it. So the intention is to get there on time and get the ones that can be handled to get going.” I explained in a single breath. “If that is the case. Shouldn’t you stay back? Probably do that tomorrow?” Rissa suggested. “There have been too many holding back because of me. It’s beginning to seem like I do not take the job seriously.” “The boss knows this isn’t your fault,” Liam said behind us. “You don’t have to go. If you are worried about what you might say. I can handle that.”I sighed, “Thank you, guys. But this is about my dedication to work too. You don’t need to worry, I will try to round things up quickly.” “Let me drop you off then.” Liam offered. I waved him off. “You can’t

    Briar’s POV“Hey,” I whispered into the phone. There was a bit of movement on the other end. “Why aren’t you sleeping?” “If you knew that, why did you call?” “I was hoping and it worked.” I laughed, curling into the bed. “Shouldn’t you be resting?” “I had enough rest during the day. I still don’t understand why I fell asleep so early. I really wanted to stay awake to talk to you.” “It is essential that you sleep, Adrian. Resting is important for you to get better.”“If I lay in your arms for three nights, I will be the healthiest man alive.”I giggled, hiding my face in the pillow. “You are out of your mind.” “Briar?”“Hmmn?” “Would you like to go on a date with me? I am resuming work on Monday. But I would like to take you out.” I pulled the duvet over me gently. This past week has been thrilling for Adrian and me. At first I told myself I just wanted to know how he was doing. But it became an everyday visit. I head to the house after work and we talk about the silliest thin

    Adrian’s POV“Remind me to never trust your words.” Briar fumed playfully at me. Even though my leg aches like crazy from that silly run, it was worth it. Getting that kiss just made my entire day. Her presence here most importantly. “It wasn’t that bad, you know?” I teased. “Mr Sterling, you are bleeding.” Stella noticed when she brought a glass of water. I stared down at the bandage around my calf. Briar hurried forward to check it before throwing me a stern gaze. “Can you see now, Adrian? I can’t believe you. You are just like your son. Didn't you say it doesn’t hurt anymore?” I bit back the wince making its way up my throat when she tried to check the bandage. “I thought it wouldn’t matter.” “I am sure you knew it would. Stella, please help with a first aid box.” She requested. “You need to focus on getting better, Adrian.” I snickered. “It’s just a slight wound.” “You know it isn’t. Your life is not just yours alone, you have a son that you are required to be there for.

    Briar’s POVMy palms got sweaty as I stared at the house, questioning myself if I should be doing this. I couldn’t shake off the thought of Adrian being in an accident and still trying to show up for his son while I was being judgmental of him. All day, I kept rebuking myself for doing the same thing I questioned him for. When I got home, I mentioned it to Gina, and she admitted she knew. Thinking I knew and just didn’t want to meddle in it. I insisted I knew nothing about it and she directed me to check his texts again. It turns out I didn’t read any of it all the way through. He had mentioned being unwell in the first text about sending his driver. The follow-up messages had updates on his health status. I was always blinded by the content of the first few lines, so I ignored the rest of the texts. I feel so disappointed in myself. A knock on the car window, jolted me out of my thoughts. I pressed the button to reveal Eric smiling at me. “Hey, Briar. You won’t see him if you stay

    Briar’s POV“I can’t believe this!” Rissa laughed her head off, holding onto her stomach in effect. She is so annoying. I didn’t reach out to her over the weekend to talk about Liam’s confession as I wanted to analyze it on my own. But the moment we arrived at work, I dragged her to the break room to ramble on to her. And now I am regretting my decision because she chose to find it funny. “I still don’t think there is anything funny in what I just said.” I hissed. Rissa sniffled, “What would you have me say? I can’t imagine how uncomfortable that chair must have been for you two. But I am impressed that he finally summoned the courage to express himself.” I furrowed my brow, “You knew?” She shrugged. “I think you were the only one who couldn’t see through him. Or you chose to ignore it.” Guilt tugged at my chest. “None of that matters now. What do I do to keep him from pushing too hard?” I asked. “Do nothing.” She said, stirring her cup of coffee. “Nothing?” “Yes, nothing.”

    Briar’s POVI sucked my teeth at the message on my screen. Adrian is unbelievable. Why start something he can’t finish? When he said he wouldn’t be available to pick Knox up from school, I thought that could happen. And since he sent his driver with Knox regarding the sudden change, I didn’t mind. But it’s been three consecutive days and now he is saying his driver might be the one doing the drop-offs every day now. He should have just kept to himself if that was the case. So much talk of wanting to show me he has changed. I feel silly for believing him. I can’t have my son getting disappointed for no reason. I dialed his line waiting for it to get answered. But a lady answered. “Hello, I want to speak to Adrian,” I said. “Mr Sterling isn’t available right now. He will reach out later.” The lady replied. Before I could say anything else, she ended the call. I tightened my grip around my phone in annoyance. Such rude behavior. This is all Adrian’s fault. He is lucky it is the week

    Briar’s POV“Congratulations, Mrs. Sterling, you are six weeks pregnant.” The doctor’s words played repeatedly in my head making my toes curl in excitement. A little burst of giggles kept escaping my lips at each reminder. I knew it was only a matter of time before all that I wanted came to me. No
