Two Loves, One Destiny 43
Kiara Kiara was sleeping deeply on the couch, wrapped in a blanket that barely covered her belly. Her breathing was soft, steady, and every time she exhaled, a lock of her black hair brushed across her forehead. I watched her for a long while, longer than I should have. Something tightened in me every time I saw her like this: vulnerable, exhausted, and yet… beautiful. I had seen her almost collapse in my arms less than an hour ago. Seeing her sleep now was a relief I didn’t expect to feel. I stayed sitting on the edge of the couch, without touching her, just keeping watch. I couldn’t risk anything happening to her while Thomas was gone, even if it was absurd to think that way. But I couldn’t help it. The sound of a key turning in the lock made me tense. The door opened abruptly. Thomas walked in first. My mother behind him. Thomas’s face changed the moment he saw me sitting next to the couch where Kiara was sleeping. His expression shifted from surprise to visceral anger. “Wh

Kiara The afternoon was far too quiet in the house, and I still wasn’t used to being there. Everyone had left. Even the people who usually took care of the house had the day off because Juliette had given them extra time to rest. Thomas had gone to the company early; he had paperwork to do in his office, and his mother wasn’t home either because she’d gone with him. My hands were shaking. I felt a strange weight on the left side of my belly, something like a stabbing pain. It also burned. I didn’t know if it was normal or not, but I did know the sensation was uncomfortable and unpleasant. I touched my belly lightly, hoping the pain would go away. I tried to calm myself by rubbing the area, but it didn’t help. I wasn’t afraid for myself; I was afraid for my babies. “They’re fine…” I whispered to convince myself, though my voice barely came out. Just when I thought I was about to fall asleep right there, I heard the door knock three times. My eyes flew open. I startled a little;
Two Loves, One Destiny 41
Jake We walked out of the hospital, and the cold air hit my face, but I didn’t even feel it because I was trapped in what I had just seen on the ultrasound. I had never done something like that in my life. I’d only seen it in movies and never understood the feeling. Until now. And it was damn overwhelming. That sound… My children’s hearts… I didn’t know something like that could affect me so much, me, the tough and reserved person I’ve always been. Someone like me, who struggles to show emotions. But those moving shapes on the screen knocked the breath out of me, like something inside me suddenly stopped my lungs. I thought I’d walk in there, stand next to Kiara, stay calm and distant, but it was the complete opposite. I felt too much. When I heard the first heartbeat, something made me inhale deeply, as if that sound pushed me from the inside. But the second one… that softer, more fragile beat… I swear a fire went through me, and I promised myself nothing would happen to them.

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
