The following week, that was on Thursday, Judith had her prenatal checkup.She hated hospitals and it wasn't because she was afraid of them but because they were boring, very boring and most things she didn't understand.Unfortunately, nobody seemed to care about her opinion.Especially not Julian."I can go by myself.""No.""Julian.""No.""I am twenty-eight years old.""And pregnant."Judith sighed.There was no winning.Across from her, Ava looked up from her phone."I support him.""Of course you do.""I enjoy annoying you."At least she was honest.An hour later, Judith sat in the doctor's office while Julian and Ava waited outside.The doctor reviewed her latest results."Everything looks good."The tension in Judith's shoulders immediately eased."Really?"The doctor smiled."Your baby is healthy."Every time she heard those words, something warm settled in her chest.Healthy.That was all she wanted.The doctor handed over a new ultrasound image.Judith stared at it.The pict

Three days after meeting Liam at the café, Judith was sitting in her office on the top floor of Lux Group headquarters, reviewing the quarterly financial reports.The numbers weren't difficult. If anything, they were helping distract her from the thoughts she had been trying to avoid all week.Ever since seeing Liam again, her mind had been annoyingly restless.And she hated it.She had spent months rebuilding her life after the divorce. She had finally reached a point where she could go through an entire day without thinking about him.Now he was somehow back in her thoughts again.Judith pushed those thoughts aside and focused on the document in front of her.The company's overseas expansion was progressing faster than expected. There were a few risks she wanted addressed, but overall the report was promising.Her office phone buzzed.She pressed the intercom button without looking up."Yes?""Miss Lux, you have a visitor."Judith smiled faintly."If it's Ava, tell her I refuse to h

Judith wasn't expecting Liam to remember the appointment. Moreover, she was of no importance, she thought.So when she walked into the clinic and found him already waiting, she stopped, but he immediately stood from his seat.The movement seemed automatic.Like he'd been watching and waiting for her arrival."You're early."Liam glanced at his watch."So are you."She rolled her eyes at him and he found it cute.Has she always been this cute? he questioned himself The corner of his mouth twitched slightly.it did not look quite a smile.But close it was very close to it.After Judith settled, the waiting room felt awkward and unfamiliar in a way.For years, they had lived together and done intimate things that even brought them to this point of sitting in an ob/gynae clinic waiting roomBut now, even sitting beside each other felt strange.Eventually, Liam broke the silence."Have you thought about names?"Judith laughed."The baby isn't even born yet.""So?""So we have months.""I

Three days later, Judith's morning started terribly.It began with nausea.Then dizziness.Then a meeting she absolutely did not want to attend.By ten o'clock, she was exhausted.By eleven, she regretted getting out of bed.And by noon, she found herself sitting alone in her office trying not to cry from sheer frustration.Pregnancy was beautiful.and pregnancy was magical.But regrettably pregnancy was also extremely annoying.The door opened.Ava entered carrying food."You look terrible."Judith glared at her."You always know exactly what to say.""I have many talents."She placed the food down."Eat.""I'm not hungry."Ava narrowed her eyes."Eat."Judith sighed.Then obeyed.Mostly because arguing required energy she didn't currently possess.An hour later, her phone rang.Liam.Judith stared at the screen.For some reason, she wasn't ready to answer.So she didn't.A few seconds later, another call came through.Not Liam.Ethan.Without thinking, she answered immediately."Hel

Mine....For the first time in his life, Liam Smith understood why people described certain thoughts as consuming.No matter what he was doing, his mind kept returning to the same thing.Judith.The baby.The future.A future he wasn't even sure he belonged in anymore.Three days after the article was published, Liam was attending a board meeting when his phone vibrated.Normally he ignored personal notifications during meetings.This time, he glanced down.It was a message from Judith.A rare occurrence.Doctor's appointment moved to 2 PM.Nothing else.No explanation.No greeting.Just information.Yet Liam found himself staring at the screen longer than necessary.She had informed him.Not because she had to.Because she wanted him there.The realization settled somewhere deep inside him.Small.Dangerous.Hopeful.By one-thirty, Liam was already at the clinic.The receptionist recognized him immediately.The advantages of being famous.Or disadvantages.Depending on the situation.
