During, half time.Leo went out and bought a flower to present to Angel when the show was over. Luckily, he was back before it ended. All, the little ballerinas lined up for their final bows, Angel delivered the longest, deepest, most dramatically theatrical bow of the entire group arms sweeping wide, head dipping low, every ounce of it aimed straight at us like we were her personal VIP section. Jayden shrieked with pure glee and—in one glorious toddler moment of excitement—launched his sippy cup like a missile into the crowd. It clonked the man two rows behind us right on the shoulder. “Sorry! Really sorry about that!” Leo called out over the applause, raising his voice so the guy could hear. The man just grinned, waved it off and gave a casual “no worries” gesture. The auditorium erupted into glorious post-performance chaos: parents surging forward with armfuls of flowers, teachers gently corralling exhausted little dancers in crumpled tutus, squeals and laughter bouncing off

He pulled back, still smiling, his eyes shiny in a way that the green sparkled like gems.“I have you to thank for today,” he said quietly.“Me?” I blinked. “What did I do?”He stood up.A man in uniform hurried over to brush the dirt from Daddy’s knee, but Daddy stopped him with a polite “Thank you” and dusted it off himself.“Come on, Angel. Let’s go.”He offered his hand.“But Daddy… you said I’m the one to thank. I didn’t do anything.”“I’ll explain when you’re older, okay? I promise.”I pouted.“Have I ever broken a promise to you?”I shook my head.“Good.”He smiled wider and offered his hand again.I took it.In one motion he lifted me into the carriage, then climbed in after me.I’d never ridden in a carriage before.It felt like something from the Cinderella movie.I put my head out of the window and watched the other carriages fall in line behind us, horses clip-clopping in perfect rhythm.“Did people really travel like this in olden times?” I asked curiously.“Yes,” Daddy s

Jayden appeared at the beginning of the flower path pushing a little stroller in front of him with rings in the basket. Everyone noticed him immediately and started clapping for him. He looked surprised but didn't stop walking towards us. "Daddy, look! Jayden is awake. He is coming here," I said and pointed excitedly. "Yes, he is our little ring bearer," Daddy whispered back. Ring bearer? I didn't know what that meant. I didn't ask; the atmosphere seemed very important, so I just watched. Jayden looked so cute in his little black suit that the jacket almost swallowed his shoulders. His bow tie was crooked, and his curly hair was slicked back with a side part that made his green eyes stand out. He looked like a little businessman. He walked very slowly—not very strong—but he didn't fall or hit the wall. When he almost tripped and Daddy wanted to jump in and save him, he caught himself. The guests clapped louder at his little save. Some laughed softly and others whispered

CHARLOTTE'S POV Three months after our wedding, we got invited to the Edwards Awards. Leo was to perform, and I was nominated. I'd been on countless red carpets, but not with a visible heavy baby bump. My stylist went crazy with the outfit, and everyone was glancing in my direction the moment I stepped out of the car. The dress was a masterpiece, chosen precisely because it celebrated this bump, draping over it like a jeweled wave. Leo appreciated it but worried about the heels, the length, the everything because of safety reasons. But I told him, “I can really do it.” He needed not to be scared.Since, it was my ninth month I understand his concerns. “Charlotte! Over here!” “Charlotte, you look so gorgeous with the bump!” “Give us an angle here!” I gave them what they wanted. The camera flashes were blinding. I turned my profile, arching my back with one hand on my hip, the other cradling my belly, while flaunting my expensive wedding ring too. I smiled, I pouted, and I

LEO’S POV Tonight was all about her. My beautiful wife, Charlotte. My whole world. After all the sleepless nights, after every script she studied until her voice went hoarse. Every moment she doubted herself and still showed up stronger the next day.She earned that. I watched her handle the reporters earlier, completely in control. She has grown so much that I couldn't help but fall in love with her all over again. The way she carried herself, the way she owned every question thrown at her… God. That confidence? That fire? It made me see her in a new light and the pregnancy made her even more beautiful. Inside the hall when it was time for the best actress in a leading role.I closed my prayed silently for her to win, I held her hand and I felt the pulse hammering through her veins. “And the Edwards goes to....Charlotte Leonard from Her True Beauty !!"My heart skipped a beat.The crowd explode with cheers and applause.I opened my eyes and looked at her.
