Kiara

The day of the next ultrasound finally arrived. The doctor had scheduled me for 7:00 a.m., and Jake had the right to know. He knew everything. Everything that was happening to me.

I had to have that conversation with him, even though I didn’t want to. The judge’s order spelled it out, and I couldn’t go against it. However, Thomas and I contacted a lawyer to try to fix the situation. The lawyer said he would try to handle it, but the judge’s order was valid, and there wasn’t much we could do for now. He would attempt to make sure Jake didn’t have the power to stop Thomas from going with us to the medical appointments.

Jake knocked on the door a little before we were supposed to leave for the hospital. I didn’t expect to see him there.

“What are you doing here?” I raised my eyebrows.

“Good morning. Don’t you have any manners?”

“Jake, what are you doing here?” I snapped.

“What do you think? We have a medical appointment in less than half an hour.”

“But you didn’t have to c

    Kiara The silence between Jake and me was still there, suspended in the air. I felt pressured, suffocated, and submerged in an emotion I couldn't understand. His hands were still over mine, warm, big, firm… and then the room’s door opened. The doctor walked in abruptly with a folder in her hand. “Alright, I’m back.” Jake reacted as if he’d been burned. He pulled his hands away so fast I almost felt the air move. He withdrew as if touching me —as if touching our babies— had been something forbidden or irresponsible. My chest tightened. Was that what he felt? Was it forbidden? Was it so disgusting for him to be seen touching me? At first, I didn’t feel comfortable with him touching me, but the way he pulled away made me feel sick. A sharp pang of wounded pride shot through me, and I looked at him before I could stop myself. A cold, hard, disdainful look that even surprised me. Jake noticed it. I saw it in his eyes, in the sudden tension of his back. But he didn’t say anything,

    Jake The room fell into a thick, uncomfortable silence after the doctor left. The tension in the air made it hard for either of us to breathe. Kiara was lying on the examination bed, her shirt lifted up to just below her chest, leaving her rounded belly exposed under the white light. The image, the moment, the emotion, none of it was something I ever expected to experience. Two weeks ago, I was a completely different man. And today? Today I was a father. But it wasn’t just the pregnancy. It was Kiara. What she meant to me. Seeing her like that, vulnerable, breathing with that quick rhythm I knew so well. My mind stopped thinking for a moment. I took one step closer, then another, without making a sound. My eyes were stuck on her belly, as if something inside me pushed my hand forward, urging me to touch my children. I saw her exposed stomach, but I wanted to feel them, have solid proof beneath my hands that they were really there. I extended my hand, just a few centimeters, re

    Kiara Jake and I had the same uncomfortable expression on our faces, and we both tried not to look at each other. My stomach twisted, warning me that I didn’t want to be here with him as my companion. Jake walked beside me, far too close for my liking. He looked confident, as always. As if everything around us belonged to him. I shouldn’t have let him come along. That was the first thing that crossed my mind when we stepped through the doors, but I hadn’t had a choice. Unfortunately. Everything had spiralled out of my hands. A sudden wave of anger toward Jake washed over me —I couldn’t believe I was walking next to him again after everything— but I swallowed the words. I had to stay calm, focus on my babies, and pray they were okay. The nurse opened the ultrasound room door when my name was called. “Come in, you can both enter now,” she announced with an automatic smile. I felt Jake’s stare on me as I took the first step inside. His fingers brushed my back, as if he wanted to g

    Jake Seeing Kiara freshly out of bed and Thomas appearing in the hallway in his boxers stopped my world completely. I had never felt so much anger over something, not even when I was cheated on. Imagining Kiara naked with my brother overwhelmed me so much that I felt I had to do something. Something to get revenge. I never had the chance to get revenge. When the truth came out, I decided to take refuge in Irina because she was the only person besides me who knew everything. I got involved with her sister just like Kiara had with mine. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. But that wasn’t enough anymore, not after seeing Thomas show up looking so messy and freshly awake. Thomas frowned when he saw me, surprised to find me there. I turned to Kiara, ready to hurt her just as much as she had hurt me. I know I didn’t love her. I know nothing that Kiara said or did should matter to me. I didn’t want a relationship with Kiara. But I wanted her to be alone. I didn’t want her with my b

    KiaraJuliette woke me up saying that Jake was waiting for me in the living room. I froze and looked behind me. Thomas was still asleep and hadn’t noticed a thing.I got dressed quickly, checked myself in the mirror, and fixed my hair after brushing my teeth. My eyes were a mess. I had cried almost the entire night in Thomas’s arms.I stepped out of my room nervously and peeked down the hallway, stopping right at the line where the hallway met the living room.“Jake?”He turned around to look at me, as handsome as ever. His hair was clean and perfectly styled, just like everything about him. His intense eyes were bloodshot. A little tired-looking, but handsome all the same.It looked like he hadn’t been able to sleep either.He was holding a paper in his hand, gripping it tightly. He didn’t look friendly, and I feared the second war was about to begin.“We need to talk, Kiara. Sit down,” he said, pointing at the couch.I obeyed as if I didn’t have any authority of my own. I sat across
