LOGINIt's been three months now, unbelievable how time flies really quickly and since they had a child the sleepless nights had become less frequent. Their baby no longer wakes at night for constant feeding and changes of diapers. Sophia and Damien are adjusting to the new parental roles even though their child is getting used to how the human world works. Their routines had developed a new rhythm and Sophia had begun to slowly feel herself again; she had adjusted to a lot of things;she is now enjoying her new role as a mother,she was no longer recovered from everything she had endured; she was living, really living. A lot had really changed for her.The peaceful life they had built lasted almost a year. By now their baby had grown into a happy energetic little boy who had inherited his father’s physical look and his mother's intelligence. Luca grew very fast and adorable. Sophia cannot help but admire how beautiful her baby looks. She never believed a day like this would come and she i
The first week at home with their baby was nothing Sophia had ever imagined. It was so stressful because of sleepless nights,they had to changed diapers all the time,the baby cry feels endless and the cry seem to begin at the most inconvenient hours and to Damien he has a lot to get into , every sound their baby made needs immediate investigation to making sure he is alright.“Damien”. Sophia called him one night though her voice sounded sleepy.“Hmnn”?. He answered “You don't need to check on him again but Damien was already up from bed.“I heard his voice, maybe he needed something “.“He just sneezed”.“I know but let me check” “That's how it starts”. Sophia opened her eyes.“How what starts”.“I don't know yet”. She couldn't help laugh.“You're ridiculous “.Damien hurriedly disappeared down the hallway to the nursery . A few moments later, Sophia heard him sing a lullaby to their baby.“Your mother thinks I'm ridiculous “. Damien said to the baby. The baby coos softly.“ See,
Sophia spent three days in the hospital after the birth of their child. She woke up to her baby's soft whimper and this made her eyes open immediately and for a moment she almost forgot where she was,she is not used to this new mother's lifestyle yet then she remembered she has been in the hospital,the delivery of their baby. Then a smile slowly spread across her face. She then turned towards the small baby cot beside her bed and she saw her baby had fully awake, his tiny hands moving restlessly beneath his blankets.“Good my sweetheart”. Sophia said softly to her baby. She then carefully sat up and was about to carry him when the door opened. Damien walked in carrying breakfast. He had gone out earlier while Sophia and her baby were sleeping to get them food.“You're awake”. He asked when he saw her carrying their child.“So is your child”. Sophia replied to him.Damien looked towards the baby cot and this changed his expression. His entire feelings softened.“Good morning, little ma
Sophia had been in labor for several hours and every contraction seemed stronger than the last. To her it seems the hours that followed move quickly and painfully slow. She held on to Damien's hand trying to breathe through the pain as the nurses encouraged her.“You are doing wonderful. Keep breathing”. One of them encouraged her more.Sophia shook her head in pain.“I don't feel wonderful and am struggling”. Damien leaned closer and whispered slowly to her.“You look incredible. You're doing fine”. She glanced at him.“Don't lie to me now”. He almost smiled.“I'm not”. Another contraction came slowly and at the same time quickly. Sophia squeezed his hand hard.Damien felt her pains and he didn't pull away.“That is it. I told you you're doing incredibly. I am right here”. He whispered softly.She closed her eyes.“I can't do this.””Yes….you can”.“I'm tired”.“I know but for the sake of our baby you have to do this.”“I'm scared”.“I know”.Tears gathered in her eyes.“What if
It was a warm Saturday morning,they were still in bed. The Hales estate was usually quiet and this was three days after Sophia had the final court appearance. The sunlight beaned through the bedroom curtains brightly. For a moment everything felt normal, then suddenly Sophia felt a sharp pain striking her lower abdomen “Maybe it's the Braxton Hicks”. She frowned her face, squeezing it hard a little. She then calm herself down and took a long deep breath to ease her nerves and the discomfort faded within few minutes just as she had expected. She smiled and carefully climbed out from bed.Damien was surprised when he saw her downstairs. He was preparing breakfast before she could wake up.“Ooh! You awoke”?. He asked when he saw her in the kitchen.“I just woke up”. She replied calmly.“Obviously you just did”. He nodded.“I love the aroma I am perceiving”. She smelled the air around her in a dramatic behavior .“All of these for you”. Damien smiled at her.“Thank you”. She smiled back
The conference room at Reyes & Partner was already filled when Sophia walked in immediately she entered,the senior associates stood and the juniors lawyers exchanged relieved glances. They were so happy to see her because they knew that the case would come out successfully. The atmosphere was tense and on the large screen at the front of the room were photographs of financial reports and newspaper headlines about their client. The firm's client CEO of Langford industries had been arrested at dawn on allegations of corporate fraud and embezzlement. The media had already declared him guilty. Sophia placed her briefcase on the table.“Tell me everything”. She said while seated.For the next thirty minutes,the legal team walked her through the evidence, and they briefed her about the case on ground. By the time they finished, Sophia had already identified several inconsistencies. She stood and began writing on the whiteboard.“The prosecution is moving too quickly”. One associates nodded
When Sofia woke up , it was to sterile white ceiling, with the smell of antiseptic filling her nostrils. Her head was sore, her body sore, and a throbbing ache in her tummy . She gazed upon me very slowly, and tried to remember how she had arrived at this point. Then all was back--the dinner, the

Damien already moved by the time anyone else could reach her he was there.“Sophia!” He called out his voice cutting through the noisy background.There she lay still too still, her face pale and her breathing low. For the first time Damien felt something he couldn't control “fear”. It was real
Chapter Five Sofia entered the mansion where her father stayed and the sweet smell of the polished furniture filled the air, doing little to calm the tempest that was in her.Javier gently helped her sit on the couch with a strained face and a set jaw.“Why me dad? Why did he do this to? Five
