All Chapters of Finding You Both : Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Chapter Thirty-OneIt had taken weeks.Actual weeks.A ridiculous number of conversations.Three separate interventions from Harper.And one extremely patient Roman.But somehow they had finally convinced Daisy to leave Lillie for more than an hour.Just once.For a girls' day.Daisy still wasn't convinced it was a good idea."She's fine."Roman looked up from making coffee."I know.""You don't sound convinced.""Because you've said that twelve times."Daisy folded her arms."I have not.""You absolutely have."From the couch, Harper pointed dramatically."Fourteen."Traitor.Lillie was now old enough to happily spend a few hours with other people.The problem wasn't Lillie.The problem was Daisy.Because Daisy had spent months with her daughter attached to her hip.Every bottle.Every nap.Every cuddle.Every day.The thought of leaving felt wrong.Even if it was only for a few hours.Harper stood and grabbed her handbag."We're going."Daisy looked toward the nursery.Immediately.

Chapter Thirty-ThreeThe bathroom floor was not where either sister expected to spend their afternoon.Yet there they were.Still sitting side by side.Still staring at the tests.Still occasionally laughing in complete disbelief.Harper's laugh was mostly panic.Daisy's was mostly shock.Neither seemed capable of standing up."This is your fault."Harper pointed immediately."My fault?""Yes.""You diagnosed me.""You made me take a test.""For support.""This is not support."Harper laughed.Then immediately looked at her positive test again.Then laughed harder.Which set Daisy off.Again.The whole thing was ridiculous.Completely ridiculous.Neither of them noticed the apartment door opening.Or Roman walking inside.Or Roman calling out:"Hello?"No answer.Just laughter.Coming from somewhere inside the apartment.Roman frowned.That couldn't be good.Whenever Daisy and Harper laughed this much, chaos usually followed.Curious, he followed the sound.Down the hallway.Past the

Chapter Thirty-FiveThe next few weeks passed in a blur.Mostly because both Harper and Daisy felt awful.Not sick enough to stay in bed.Just sick enough to complain constantly.Which they did.Frequently.Roman found it hilarious.Noah found it slightly less hilarious.Especially when both women would text each other at three in the morning complaining about being awake.Again.The only people genuinely enjoying the situation were the men.Roman looked like he'd won the lottery twice.Noah wasn't far behind.Both women found them deeply irritating.Daisy was exhausted.Completely exhausted.Some mornings she barely made it through breakfast.The fatigue hit harder this time.Maybe because she was chasing a six-month-old around.Maybe because she was already a mother.Maybe because pregnancy simply enjoyed humbling people.Whatever the reason, Roman had noticed immediately.Which was how they'd ended up hiring a nanny.Not full-time.Just a few mornings each week.Someone experienced

Chapter Thirty-SevenThe next few months passed faster than anyone expected.Mostly because life became busy.Very busy.Lillie was now eight months old.Which meant she had discovered movement.Unfortunately.One morning she was sitting quietly on a blanket.The next she was somehow halfway across the penthouse.Nobody knew how.Roman swore she was teleporting.Daisy suspected he might be right."You looked away for two seconds."Roman pointed dramatically."She was over there."Lillie sat proudly chewing on a toy.Completely unbothered.Daisy laughed."She's mobile.""She's dangerous."Fair.Pregnancy was also proving very different this time around.For both sisters.Daisy was exhausted.Harper was exhausted.Daisy cried because Roman bought the wrong cereal.Harper cried because Noah finished the last yogurt.The men wisely stopped questioning anything.Experience had taught them survival was sometimes the better option.One Sunday afternoon both families gathered at Harper and No

Chapter Thirty-NineSunday lunch at Harper and Noah's house had become a tradition.No matter how busy life became.No matter how exhausted everyone was.Sunday meant family.This Sunday, however, something was very wrong.Daisy knew it the second she stepped through the front door.The house was quiet.Too quiet.Then she heard voices.Noah's voice.Harper's voice.And Harper was crying.Uh-oh.Beside her, Roman immediately looked concerned.Even Lillie seemed unusually quiet sitting on his hip.The three of them paused in the hallway.Listening.Completely unnoticed."Noah, we haven't even found one we like!"Harper's voice cracked."No, because every house we've seen has something wrong with it."Noah sounded equally frustrated."Because we're running out of time, Harper.""I'm pregnant!""Trust me, I know."Harper glared.Even though he couldn't see it from where they stood."I don't want to move into a house I hate.""You won't hate it.""I hated the kitchen.""The kitchen was fi
