JakeKiara’s room was cold when I walked in to see her. The window was closed, but the room still felt cold. I grabbed the heating control and adjusted it so Kiara would be comfortable.I knew perfectly well that Kiara had suffered from the cold ever since she got sick and pregnant. She mentioned it once during an obligatory dinner at my mother’s house, and I haven’t forgotten it.Kiara wasn’t pregnant anymore. Not now. She had just given birth, but I didn’t want to take any risks. Not when she couldn’t speak to tell me herself.Kiara was intubated, lying in the bed, connected to almost the same machines I had been connected to a few weeks ago. She was sunk into a deep sleep, and the idea of her not waking up terrified me. She looked like she was resting so peacefully… I don’t think she had slept like that in a long time.My stomach sank when I smelled her blood. She was no longer stained with it as the doctors had cleaned her, but Kiara still wasn’t completely clean.A knot formed in

Jake Kiara’s hospital room was cold when I walked in. The window was closed, but it still felt cold inside. I grabbed the heating control and adjusted it so Kiara would be comfortable. I knew perfectly well that Kiara had suffered from the cold ever since she got sick and pregnant. She mentioned it during a mandatory dinner we had at my mother’s house, and I never erased that memory. Kiara was no longer pregnant. Not anymore. She had just given birth, but I didn’t want to take any risks, not when she couldn’t speak to tell me. Kiara was intubated, lying on the bed, and connected to almost the same machines I had been hooked to a few weeks ago. She was in a deep sleep, and it terrified me that she wouldn’t wake up. She looked so peacefully asleep… I don’t think she had rested like that in a long time. My stomach dropped when I smelled her blood. She wasn’t covered in blood anymore —the doctors had cleaned her— but Kiara still wasn’t completely clean. A knot formed in my chest, se

JakeWhen I saw her awake, my world froze.My mind went into some kind of paralysis because I couldn’t understand what was happening. When I came in the morning, she was still asleep, but when I returned in the afternoon, Kiara already had her eyes open and was aware of the movements around her.But nobody had told me Kiara had woken up. Not the doctor, not my brother.The first medical update always went to Thomas because he was her boyfriend and family, but he didn’t call me. Thomas knew I deserved to know. I deserved it even more than he did.I tried not to fight with him in front of her and focused on Kiara. I liked that she asked Thomas to leave us alone for a moment in private.Kiara told me how she felt. She said she was tired, but that sleeping would help her get better for tomorrow.I knew she was more exhausted than she admitted, that all her strength wasn’t back yet, and it was likely her legs would tremble the second they touched the floor. But Kiara would not show weaknes

JakeWhen I stepped into the house, something was wrong. There was no music, no lights on, no trace of Irina’s perfume lingering in the air. Just stillness and silence. I set the keys down on the table and looked around, expecting her to appear from somewhere, but Irina wasn’t in the house.My mother watched me for a second, as if she understood what I was thinking without me having to say it, and went upstairs to the guest room. I stayed downstairs, waiting anxiously. I checked my phone. No messages. No replies. It was Saturday. And somehow, that unsettled me even more.I texted her a couple of times, but nothing came through. An uncomfortable pressure settled in my chest, a mix of worry and anger that started to grow fast. I went out to the patio and called two pack members who were nearby. I needed to know, not wait. I couldn’t stay still with that feeling. I asked them directly about Irina. They told me she had gone to a party, that she had protection, that she wasn’t alone. That

KiaraSeeing my children, touching them, breathing in their baby scent made me rethink everything in my life.I admit I was so nervous that my legs were shaking, and it was a good thing they took me back to the room in a wheelchair so I wouldn’t have to strain myself.The doctor said I looked better and that the tests they ran early that morning, before I saw the babies, had shown positive and hopeful results. My heart was beginning to regain strength.It was truly comforting to receive good news after so much bad.Jake stayed with me throughout the entire session, and then we returned to the room. He pushed my wheelchair the whole time and helped me into bed by lifting me in his arms.They didn’t connect me to the machines right away because the doctor said it was time for me to bathe. Jake waited outside the room before coming back in. Thomas hadn’t been at the hospital for a few hours because I told him to go rest at the house; he’d been with me almost all day.The scar on my abdom
