Sarah POV

The clinic smelled of antiseptic mixed with paper and a hint of sweet, sterile memories to assume I had been in a lot of similar waiting areas.

I was sitting in the room waiting for the doctor to come back, and literally clicked my legs over and over and was moving them back and forth, anything to distract them and me. I was so anxious I literally thought the doctor would catch my nerves from me when she came back for the consultation.

Her smile was kind, reassurance in a way that made me sit taller.

“You’re around 2.5 months along.” She proclaimed with enthusiasm while basking in healthful glow of me being appreciably healthy.

“Congratulations, Sarah,” she said with a cheerasive spirit. accepting handouts while maintaining good eye contact.

2.5 months.

The number echoed in my head like it had weight. Like something real had just taken shape inside me. It wasn’t just two faint pink lines anymore, it was a heartbeat.

A beginning. A piece of me. A piece of Alessandro.

    Sarah POVAfter Ester got married, things were a little too quiet.She and Noah had flown to some warm, ocean-blue place, leaving behind the low buzz of laughter, twinkles of fairy lights, and promises that reverberated softly in my chest.The apartment, which had been alive with pre-wedding energy, felt quiet now. But work, as it often does, found ways to talk the silence away.Today was a big one.My firm had been finalising an ambitious architecture collaboration, and Alessandro, through his investment group, was backing a portion of the project.We’d worked together in the past, but to be facing him across a glass-walled boardroom still made my heart flutter.He was well dressed in tailored suite, and serious, every line of his body taut with intent.The same man who makes loves to me every night, who smoothed Gabriel’s hair while he slept, now deep in discussion over projections and timelines.Sometimes I couldn’t believe we lived both those lives, public and private.

    Sarah POVThe morning of Ester’s wedding came like a sigh, gentle, gilded, gentle. The sunlight poured through the windows in quiet ribbons, the room warm with a hush that felt sacred, like even the day itself was bending for her.In the mirror, pinning back a curl, I glanced down at where my hand had come to rest involuntarily, strategically, perhaps, but involuntarily, right over my stomach.Just under three months. It was still hard to believe most days.Today felt different. Lighter. Full of something that might’ve been hope.Because today wasn’t about me.Today belonged to Ester.By midmorning the room was a soft frenzy, brushes flip-flopping, lace shaking, voices ricocheting among instruction and giggling.The makeup artist dusted powder under Ester’s eyes with downy lightness, and the hairstylist knotted her curls into an updo that looked casually elegant, but I guessed couldn't possibly have been.I was in all memory, bustling around her, fixing her veil, smoothing the satin o

    Sarah’s POVIt had been a few weeks since Adrian's sucide, and life, in its quiet, stubborn way, was starting to find stability again. Grief still came through me from time to time, unexpected, but softer, and the days no longer seemed to belong to him.One dusky evening, after Gabriel had fallen asleep and Alessandro had stepped out for a bussiness dinner, Ester, Noah and I remained at home. The apartment buzzed with activity, pieces of fabric hung over the sofa, invitation drafts scattered on the dining table, Ester’s handwriting flowing graceful and confident as she noted final details for her wedding to NoahI was helping them to finalise the wedding preparations when Ester had gone into the kitchen to check on tea, when Noah cleared his throat, fingers tracing the rim of his glass.“I saw him changing after your marraige,” Noah went on, words halting, tangled in regret.“But after he got close to Chloe and Jessica… after he started talking like he could bend anyone to his will.

    Sarah POVThe walls of the bedroom glowed with a warm, buttery hue from the soft sun peeking in through the silk drapes. The room felt still; different from silence, still in the stretch of time that slow, sleepy mornings hold. I could hear Gabriel's cooing from down the hall, the sweet little sounds he made when he was awake enough to desire attention, but not quite awake enough to express his desire in a forceful manner, as if he was silently reminding everything of his presence on Earth.Alessandro rustled awake and, without a word, slithered his arms around my waist. The way he held me, slow and with familiarity, felt like something his body already knew how to do.As if he found it instinctive to stretch for me in sleep, to find me in the quiet.His warmth pressed into my back, steady and grounding. I didn’t move. I didn’t speak. I let myself to relax into the security of it, inhaling the warmth of his presence while dulling the sharpness of my thoughts.I breathed him in. Tha

    Adrian’s POVI was unable to sleep the previous night. The hours stretched into one another, an indistinct dark haze, interrupted only by the faint clanging of metal doors and the uneasy movement of fellow inmates.Today, Gabriel turns one.My son. My blood.And I’m not there.Morning air was chilly and gray. There was no shelter from the cold provided by the thin blanket. I looked at my hands while sitting on the edge of the cot with my elbows resting on my knees. Their appearance had changed, they were smaller, their skin was tauter over their bones, and they had little tremors that never truly went away.I wondered what Gabriel’s hands look like. Small, plump hands perhaps, reaching for cake, spreading icing all over.Somewhere nearby, in a cozy apartment filled with joy and brightness, they’re rejoicing. Sarah will put him in something fresh, perhaps a small white shirt with buttons she selected thoughtfully.She’ll hold him on her hip, press kisses into his soft hair.And him,
