Chapter Twenty one

Chapter Twenty-OneSunday mornings quickly became everyone's favorite day of the week.Not because they were relaxing.They weren't.Not with Poppy and Theo involved.But because somehow Sunday had become family day.The tradition started accidentally.Roman had shown up one Sunday morning with coffee, pastries, and an expensive baby toy that Lillie immediately ignored.Then he came back the following Sunday.And the one after that.Before long, nobody questioned it anymore.Sunday belonged to family.Including Roman.Which still felt strange sometimes.Wonderful.But strange.This particular Sunday began with Roman arriving at Daisy's apartment just after eight.Lillie was already awake.Unfortunately.Daisy hadn't slept much.Also unfortunately.Roman took one look at her and immediately handed over a coffee."Rough night?"Daisy accepted it gratefully."She was awake at two."Roman nodded."Okay.""Then four."He nodded again."Right.""Then six."Roman looked at Lillie.Lillie smi

Chapter Twenty Two

Chapter Twenty-TwoRoman had officially become wrapped around his daughter's tiny little finger.Not that he'd admit it.At least not willingly.According to Roman, he was simply being a responsible father.According to everyone else?He was completely obsessed.It started with photos.Hundreds of them.Thousands, probably.Every day Olivia, his long-suffering assistant, received at least three new pictures of Lillie.Sometimes more.A sleepy picture.A smiling picture.A picture of her staring at a ceiling fan like it was the most fascinating thing she'd ever seen.One Monday morning Olivia walked into his office carrying a stack of reports.Roman was looking at his phone.Smiling.Again.She didn't even need to ask."Baby picture?"Roman looked up."Look at this."Olivia sighed dramatically.Then looked anyway.Lillie was wearing a tiny yellow dress.Olivia smiled immediately."Okay, that's cute.""I know.""You're impossible."Roman looked entirely unapologetic.Meanwhile, back at

Chapter Twenty Three

Chapter Twenty-ThreeDaisy had spent her entire career staying calm.She'd handled emergency surgeries.Critical patients.Terrified parents.Children arriving in ambulances.She was the doctor everyone trusted when things became serious.So naturally, the moment something was wrong with her own daughter—she completely froze.It started on a Tuesday evening.Lillie was nearly three months old now.Usually she was happy.Smiley.Always kicking her little legs.Always making everyone work for her attention.Tonight she wasn't.Daisy noticed it immediately.She was feeding her when she realised Lillie wasn't drinking properly.Just enough to settle.Then she'd stop.Fussy.Uncomfortable.Not herself.The feeling hit Daisy instantly.Something wasn't right.Roman noticed her expression."What?"Daisy looked down at their daughter."I don't know."The answer came quietly.Roman immediately sat forward."What do you mean you don't know?"Daisy touched Lillie's forehead.Warm.Too warm.Her

Chapter Twenty Four

Chapter Twenty-FourA week after Lillie's scare, life slowly returned to normal.The fever was gone.The sleepless nights had eased.And Lillie was back to ruling everyone's lives exactly as she should.Unfortunately for Daisy, the experience had left her a little shaken.Not because she'd doubted her medical knowledge.Because for the first time she'd realised just how much she had to lose.Roman noticed.Of course he did.He noticed everything.The way she checked the monitor more often.The way she lingered beside the crib before going to bed.The way her smile sometimes faded when she thought nobody was looking.One Friday evening, after Lillie had fallen asleep, Roman found Daisy standing in the nursery doorway.Watching.Just watching.The baby monitor glowed softly beside her.Roman stepped up behind her."She's still asleep."Daisy smiled faintly."I know.""You're checking anyway.""Also true."For a moment they stood together.Looking at the little girl sleeping peacefully i

Chapter Twenty Five

Chapter Twenty-FiveMonday mornings were usually Roman's least favorite part of the week.Today wasn't.Today he was smiling.Which immediately concerned everyone around him.Especially Olivia.His assistant walked into his office carrying a tablet and froze.Roman was staring at a photo on his phone.Smiling.Again."Oh no."Roman looked up."What?""You've got the dad look.""The what?""The proud dad look."Roman glanced at the picture again.Lillie was wearing a tiny pink outfit and looking extremely pleased with herself."Look at her."Olivia sighed.Then looked anyway."She's adorable.""I know.""You say that every day.""Because it's true every day."Olivia shook her head.Three months ago Roman Moretti had been one of the most intimidating CEOs in New York.Now he spent most mornings showing baby pictures to anyone unfortunate enough to enter his office.By nine o'clock the boardroom was full.Executives.Lawyers.Financial advisors.The kind of people who made billion-dollar

Chapter Twenty Six

Chapter Twenty-SixRoman had been gone exactly three hours when Daisy decided she had an idea.A dangerous thing.According to Harper, all of Daisy's best ideas were dangerous.Lillie had fallen asleep after her morning bottle.Roman had left for work before sunrise, kissing both of them goodbye on his way out.Now Daisy found herself standing in the middle of his penthouse holding a cup of coffee.Thinking.The penthouse was beautiful.Elegant.Modern.Very Roman.But it was missing something.Romance.A smile slowly appeared.Oh yes.This was definitely a dangerous idea.An hour later, Lillie was fast asleep in the nursery Roman had made for her.The baby monitor sat clipped to Daisy's pocket.Meanwhile Daisy had completely taken over the penthouse.Candles appeared everywhere.The dining table was set perfectly.Soft lighting replaced the bright overhead lights.Fresh flowers filled the apartment.Music played quietly through the speakers.Even the balcony had been transformed.Bla

Chapter Twenty Seven

Chapter Twenty-SevenRoman arrived home expecting dinner.He did not expect to walk into what looked like the most beautiful evening of his life.The moment the penthouse doors opened, he stopped.Candles flickered softly throughout the apartment.Music drifted quietly through the air.Fresh flowers sat on every surface.The balcony glowed beneath lantern light.And standing in the middle of it all was Daisy.Roman stared.For a moment he couldn't find words.Daisy smiled nervously."Hi."Roman laughed softly."Hi?"She folded her arms."What?""What is all this?"Daisy glanced around."I wanted to do something nice for you."Roman looked genuinely stunned.Nobody did things for Roman.People expected things from Roman.Needed things from Roman.Asked things from Roman.But Daisy?She simply wanted to make him smile.The realization hit him harder than he expected."You did all this?"Daisy nodded.Roman crossed the room and kissed her forehead gently."Thank you."A blush immediately

Chapter Twenty Eight

Chapter Twenty-EightFor a moment neither of them moved.The kitchen had gone completely quiet.The dishes forgotten.The water running softly in the sink.The city lights reflecting through the penthouse windows.Roman rested his forehead against Daisy's.Both of them smiling.Both a little breathless."Daisy," he murmured.She looked up at him.And whatever he saw in her expression made something soften in his eyes.Without a word, he slipped an arm beneath her knees.Daisy laughed in surprise."Roman.""What?""You are not carrying me.""I absolutely am."Before she could protest, he lifted her effortlessly.A squeal escaped her."Put me down.""No.""Roman.""You carried our daughter for nine months."Daisy rolled her eyes."That's not the same thing.""It is in my head."She laughed, wrapping her arms around his neck as he carried her out of the kitchen.The apartment felt peaceful around them.Warm.Safe.Like home.As they reached the bedroom doorway, Roman's playful smile fade

Chapter Twenty Nine

Chapter Twenty-NineA few weeks passed in what felt like the blink of an eye.Life had settled into something comfortable.Something neither Daisy nor Roman had expected.Most mornings Daisy woke up in Roman's penthouse.Most nights ended there too.At some point she'd stopped bringing an overnight bag.There wasn't much point anymore.Half her wardrobe now lived in Roman's closet.Her skincare products had taken over part of his bathroom.And somehow Lillie had completely claimed the nursery Roman had built for her.Not that he minded.In fact, Roman seemed ridiculously happy every time he walked past the room.Daisy was still on maternity leave.The hospital had offered her more time and she'd taken it.At first she'd worried about being away from work.Medicine had been her entire life for so long.But now?Now her days were filled with bottle feeds.Baby giggles.Walks through the city.And watching Lillie discover the world.She wasn't ready to miss any of it.One Tuesday morning

Chapter Thirty

Chapter ThirtyDaisy should have known something was wrong the moment Harper called at eight o'clock on a Saturday morning.Nobody called Harper at eight o'clock on a Saturday morning.Harper usually appeared uninvited with coffee and opinions.Calling meant trouble."Daisy."The second she answered, Daisy sat upright in bed."What happened?"Roman immediately looked over from beside her.Lillie was still asleep in her crib.The penthouse was quiet.Peaceful.For now.Harper sighed dramatically."I need a favour."Daisy relaxed."Oh thank God.""What did you think happened?""You sounded serious.""I am serious."That should have been a warning.An hour later they were standing outside Harper and Noah's house.Roman carrying Lillie.Daisy carrying coffee.Theo carrying what appeared to be a pirate sword.Nobody knew why.Poppy opened the front door."Thank God you're here."Daisy frowned."What happened?"Poppy pointed inside."Theo happened."Fair enough.Inside, chaos greeted them.
