dress of the sstyle and design. "Here, ma'am. This color will suit your skin perfectly."
| accepted the dress and nodded before | walked towards the fitting room. | wiped my cheeks and took a deep
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,
our eyes met. He walked towardsand looked at the dress in my hand.
"Do you
you still want to roam around the shop?"
| shook my head. He nodded and grabbed the dress from me. He handed it to the saleslady together with some
other dresses | think he chose and paid for it. While | was waiting for him, | looked at my own reflection in the
mirror. My lips and cheeks were pinkish. I'm stressed and feel so lifeless because of everything that happened,
but I still look glowing because of pregnancy.
"Your wife is so pretty. You look good together, Sir,"

"Let's go? Let's eat first then we'll buy you vitamins."
Pierce carried the paper bags and led the way while I silently followed him. He stopped in front of a restaurant
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.
| stared into his eyes. "I have so many questions for you, Pierce. So if you don't wanna tellwhat's your reason
for doing this and that, don't look atlike that and stop what you're thinking if it concerns me."
He looked away and drank his water. | saw his jaws clenched as if he's restraining himself from saying
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.
Pierce put the paper bags on the bed before he looked at me. "What do you want for dinner?"
We're civil with each other and I'm glad he's not saying something about us again. | can still remember, how he
beggedto give him another chance. How he professed his feelings without doubt and how he fiercely told me
he'd takeback if Klay hurts me. Days, weeks and months passed like a whirlwind. | lost track of twhile
taking care of myself and keeping rage in my heart to intensify and becmy strength to go back and avenge
my dad. Pierce never left my side during those times but | made sure created a distance between us. He's
always caring, he's always looking afterand my baby seemed to like it very much that she kicks her father is
near us.
every time
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
monitor from the outside of the room.
He swallowed hard and looked down at me. I'm sitting on the wheelchair and he's the one pushing it for

"May 12" He seemed hesitant.
For months, he proved tothat I can still trust him in spite of everything that happened between us. |
purposely avoided him but he didn't confrontabout it. He turned blind eye to my tantrums whenever | felt
down and whenever | pushed him away. "Yes," | answered honestly. As the father of my baby, he has the right to
cand witness the test even when he doesn't have any idea that he's the father of the child inside me.
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,
soon.
| heard a sob and when | looked at Pierce, | saw him wiping his eyes secretly. | don't know if it's because of his
instinct that he cried but | can see that he's genuinely happy after seeing the baby.
| was just staring at his face and strangely, | felt my heart start racing again.
"It's normal for couples to be emotional when they first see their baby, but your husband is on another level."
The doctor commented after Pierce excused himself.
