Somewhere—eight weeks deep and growing—a heartbeat. Steady. Certain. Going on.

ETHAN’S POV We rushed Granny to the hospital,but made sure to change to normal clothes first.My head was spinning from the realization that Granny had a heart disease,what pissed me off the most was that she was diagnosed with the disease since when I was twenty years old and I am now thirty two years old. I was angry at myself for not having noticed,each time we went for a check up in the hospital,the results always came back saying she had diabetes,”Argh”I groaned.She must have been the one altering the results I guess.

my heartbeat accelerated abnormally as I watched her fingers which were placed on his chest as they danced. "Fuck!" a low growl escaped my mouth as I threw my head to the back and rested it on my seat in both rage and frustration. frustrated because I couldn't understand this unfamiliar feeling inside my heart, this longing feeling to see her and this possessiveness that my heart screamed. I had asked my boys to send me pictures of her every seconds she spent in that party but my heartbeat hadn't stopped beating abnormally fast since a an hour ago when I was told that she had left the hall but hasn't been seen anywhere outside the building.

Two hours passed, each one marked by silence and the cold efficiency of his work. When he finally turned to me, his face was heavy with the same grim look he wore the day he first told me about my heart. "Axel, I’m afraid you’ve deteriorated further," he sluggishly let out. "The hole in your heart is expanding rapidly." "I can feel it," I admitted, my tone void of surprise. Cedric sighed. "And we still don’t know the cause. This isn’t something I’ve seen before—it’s beyond science." I leaned back, exhaling sharply. "Then there’s no solution. What about a new heart?"

“It shouldn't be like that” He reaches out, capturing Stella's hand and pressing her palm against his chest. And right there she feels the faint, hesitant rhythm of a heartbeat.

She wrapped her legs around him, pulling him deeper, demanding the complete, profound weight of him. A whimper finally escaped her, not of distress, but of desperate need, a sound she had never known she possessed. She held on, riding the unfamiliar rhythm that had begun, fast, hot, and utterly consuming, right there in the sanctity of her small, lavender-scented bedroom. Every movement was a tremor, a powerful reminder that she was no longer just herself, but profoundly, physically bound to him.

They went to the same restaurant Xavier and I went to on our first date, smiling in a carefree manner as she sat in the place where I used to sit. She wanted every memory I had with Xavier to be filled with her shadow in his heart. I felt like I was now forced to watch a movie that didn't belong to me play out before my eyes. Misty told me to stop watching, but I couldn't stop myself from scrolling further. The pain in my chest eventually grew numb. Eventually, there was nothing left but an unexpected calmness in my heart. As it turned out, even emotions didn't bother showing anymore once someone had reached peak disappointment in someone else.

They were sitting outside in the meadow grass looking at the spacious land in front of them. “ Honey, your tummy has grown big. Is our baby doing okay inside?” Anthony touched her belly curiously. Danielle giggled. “ Silly! Of course, the baby is doing fine.” Suddenly, Anthony felt something kicked on Danielle's belly. “ Did you feel that, my love? It just moved.” “ Well... I guess it's happy that it's father came once in a while to visit us.” Danielle was literally happy. “ Have you been taking your vitamins and eating nutritious food, my love?”

Khessica glowered at the other four faces in the video call - including Everest's. Jinny was busy spooning large portions of green ice cream into her mouth. Her pregnancy had given her a strange craving for freezing cold and soft food. She set down the large striped tub with a roll of her eyes. "Our girl is being a bonafide cosmopolitan bitch," she said to Khessica. "I support you, woman," she said to Everest, picking up her ice cream again.

So after thinking about all that I felt like going to that room to finish what I had given myself permission to start. I tried to get out of bed, I had a lot of pain on the right side of my body. With my left hand I held that part of my body that hurt. I finally managed to get up. I walked slowly towards the door of the room. I was too disoriented, I did not understand where I was. After completely leaving my room and closing the door behind me, I kept walking until I found the first door.
