Alessandro POV

Few months later

There are moments in a life when even a man such as me finds that the world is slowing down because he is used to having precision plus control and a ruthless pace.

Sarah was seven months pregnant now since her belly was a perfect curve that seemed to grow overnight. Every morning when I woke beside her, I saw more changes, subtle shifts in the way that she moved, and the softness in her features, plus the new glow in her skin, which exhaustion couldn’t dim. A tightening in my chest came with each change. It was not fear, though but something deep a wild sort of respect.

My name yet held the influence in the boardrooms it owned. I could feel it from the stiff postures along with the carefully measured words of men. These men would rather risk offending a head of state than risk crossing me. Competitors respected me because of their fear. They feared what I could steal from them, what I could ruin using one choice.

But that steel edge softened in ways at

    Sarah POVThe morning began like mornings usually do.Gabriel's warm melodic laughter drifted down the hallway as Ester tried to coax him into his tiny overalls. Alessandro's quiet hum, moving to the rhythm from the sizzling pan, mingled with the faint sweetness from pancakes and freshly brewed coffee.One hand held my belly's swell as I sat at the dining table my other hand tracing circles on my mug. Nine months, almost. Just another few weeks were to be expected before arrival of the baby. However, the baby came early.For urgency was nowhere to be found for today, but my body had grown so heavy in ways unimaginable before now. The home felt alive with ordinary comfort offered. That same comfort was all of that which mattered.There it was, yet even then. A strange, low ache was pulling within my abdomen. It was persistent and not sharp like distant thunder faintly rolling before a storm. I froze then, with my hand pressed softly against the curve of my stomach, and I felt then the

    Sarah POVSundayThe late afternoon sunlight spilled into our living room windows, with warm golden stripes painting the hardwood floor. I was curled up on that sofa with but one leg tucked just beneath me. Comfortably the other leg rested on the ottoman.As a constant reminder of the impending growth of our family in a couple of months, my swollen belly pressed against my knees whenever I shifted.Gabriel was sitting on soft rug among wooden blocks and stuffed animals. I watched him as he played with that tiny blue truck Alessandro bought him last month. He was muttering alone using few real words plus much sweet rubbish. He also tried to place two blocks one over the other. His fine little brows knitted together in concentration just like Alessandro’s did for a design sketch.That well known ache came to my heart.Eighteen months. Eighteen months did characterize my baby boy. He was still my little bundle somehow in addition to a small determined person opining about stuffed animal

    Sarah POVThe house had settled into that quiet stillness after a full and long day comes to pass. Upstairs, Gabriel was asleep. Only sound filled his nursery with his soft even breaths. I had just finished putting away the last few dishes after dinner. The dishwasher's warm hum, a type of white noise, filled the kitchen.Lauren was in my office during this afternoon, she offered a sincere apology; her hands trembled; the memory still lingered.At that moment I had said, “I never want Gabriel to be like Adrian. I never want anyone to suffer what I went through,” I had felt something strengthen inside me. It wasn't just wishing, it was vowing. A boundary deep enough toward carving the rest of my life's guide.I did move to the living room as the glow of a soft lamp pooled in the corner. That is when I did notice Alessandro near the window, and also his silhouette was sharp toward the city lights just beyond. Gabriel stirred a bit so he held him in his arms. Our little boy was curled up

    Sarah POVThe office was in such a silent state on this Thursday afternoon. Tall windows sent soft golden light to warm the polished wooden floor. Blueprints as well as material samples for the Carmichael project scattered all over my desk now. My attention drifted toward my phone as I scrolled through photos of Gabriel at daycare that Alessandro had sent earlier on.I heard the faint, cautious throat clearing bring me back since the door opening was silent.I looked up as Lauren Parker stood there.A simple dress existed under her beige wool coat, silver hair getting pinned neatly back, but her hands twisted together just like she wasn’t so sure she belonged here.My voice, carrying with it surprise and guardedness, spoke “Lauren,” I then said. “I wasn’t expecting you.”“I know,” she replied softly, since she stepped inside and closed the door behind her. “I was afraid that you would tell me not to come, but I… I should have then called.”Her voice broke slightly on the final words,

    Sarah POVThe drive back from the doctor’s office was quiet and yet it was not awkwardly so. His thumb brushed slowly, absent circles as if that movement could anchor Alessandro in the moment that we had just shared, with Alessandro's hand staying on my thigh. The baby's heartbeat sounded steady and strong; it was real. That sound remained in my mind.When we stepped into the penthouse, Gabriel came toddling toward us with Ester, his little legs working double-time.He squealed, “Dada!” with arms up.At once, all of Alessandro’s face softened up. He did press a kiss to his hair as he scooped Gabriel up. “Hey, little man. Guess what? “You will assist us now. Today we need that assistance.”From Gabriel, big, curious eyes blinked at him. “Hee?”With a smile, Alessandro gently corrected, “Help.” “We are starting on the room that will be for your baby sister.”I laughed. My purse was set there down. “We don't know if it’s a girl“.He turned to me, and he also had within himself that unsha

    Sarah POVThe late-morning sun filtered through the tall clinic windows, and then the light caught the glass frames of picture-perfect family portraits that hung along each of the pale cream walls. One cushioned chair in the waiting room held me. My hand lay upon my stomach. Now seven months pregnant, every movement from our baby comforted and reminded, tiny kicks, gentle turns, that this little life inside me grew stronger every single day.Alessandro seemed tense to me despite his composure in his custom navy suit near me. His knee bounced in a slight way, and it was just a small tell. Only I am the one who would notice that tell. One of his hands had been resting upon his thigh as his other hand covered mine so his thumb brushed slow, steady circles over my skin. He did not scroll through his phone nor look at any emails like most men in his position might do. He fixed his entire attention upon me, as though the rest of the world could wait.Before I moved Alessandro stood up and o
