breath while calming myself down.
When | got out of the fitting room, Pierce was sitting on the couch while looking around. When he lifted his face,

"Do you

other dresses | think he chose and paid for it. While | was waiting for him, | looked at my own reflection in the

and looked at me.
"Are you okay to dine here?"
"Yeah," | quickly answered and smiled.
The restaurant has a relaxing ambience and it's comfortable. The server accompanied us to a table for two and
handed the menu card to us.
We ordered and it was delivered shortly. We started eating in silence when | noticed Pierce had been glancing at
"What is it?" | asked, not feeling uncomfortable but curious of what's in his mind.
"Nothing." He shook his head.

something.
We got hat exactly 3 PM. | went straight to my room while Pierce followedcarrying the things he bought
for me. I'm gonna pay him for this soon once | get a job. Speaking of jobs, | want to work. | need to save for the
future of my baby and for my delivery. | don't wanna rely on Pierce's and my father's money.

We're civil with each other and I'm glad he's not saying something about us again. | can still remember, how he

Last week, | was able to know the gender of my baby. As usual, Pierce was withthat time. | can still
remember how he gripped the bed when the doctor did the test and Pierce was beside me.
It was one sunny day when | decided to have an ultrasound and confirm the gender of my baby. Pierce drove to
the hospital carefully and accompaniedto the doctor.
"Do you wanna cinside?" | asked him when | saw the curiosity in his eyes while looking at the ultrasound

"May 12" He seemed hesitant.
For months, he proved tothat I can still trust him in spite of everything that happened between us. |

down and whenever | pushed him away. "Yes," | answered honestly. As the father of my baby, he has the right to

He was so excited while standing besideas the doctor did the test. | saw how his lips parted when the doctor
pointed at the monitor telling us it's the baby.
My heart raced as soon as | saw my baby's picture for the first time. A girl. She will be a very beautiful girl,

"It's normal for couples to be emotional when they first see their baby, but your husband is on another level."
