YUWANA POV:

"Mom, what have you done? Why didn't you ask me? You should have consulted me first," my son Yuron expressed, his face filled with hurt and his fist clenched in an attempt to control his anger.

"I'm truly sorry, son. Please forgive your mom this time, and I promise I'll consult you before discarding any of your papers," I said, pulling him onto my lap.

"But Mom, those papers were really important, and now I have to start all over again. I don't know if I'll be able to make it," he said, running his hands through his hair in frustration.

"What is it that my son can't accomplish?" A voice came from the doorway, and there stood my husband with a puzzled expression. He walked over, pulled Yuron towards him, and asked him to explain. Yuron narrated the entire incident to his dad, who assured him that he would help him. Alorn had just come home from work, looking a little tired, but he always made time for Yuron. He had been a loving and caring father as well as a devoted husband.

He was still the same man I had married. He had kept his promise of making me smile and would undoubtedly continue to do so in the future. Every day, he made sure to catch up with Yuron, listening to his school stories and helping him with his homework. He even joined him in his soccer matches and shared his life experiences.

We got married one week after the confrontation. Yuron was initially angry that Alorn hadn't come to him sooner, but after hearing our story, he started calling Alorn "dad." Yuron was thrilled to meet his grandparents, and Alorn's mother shed tears of joy upon seeing him, missing the chance to witness her grandchildren's childhood.

We went on a honeymoon for a week, enjoying our time together. Alorn wanted to take Yuron along, but his studies made him stay at home. It was a wonderful journey with Alorn, and he showered me with his unconditional love. I loved him too, but the way he expressed his love melted my heart. We didn't always have perfect days, but we understood each other and couldn't stop talking to each other.

"Beauty, it's not good for you to sit all day. You should walk around and have some juice," Alorn said, handing me a glass of juice. He had just arrived and was talking to our son before bringing me the juice. Both my son and husband had made me quite angry with their constant reminders of what I should and shouldn't do. I looked at him and shook my head.

"Yuwana, don't be like that. You know you need to stay healthy, especially for the sake of our child. So please drink it," he pleaded, looking at me with pleading eyes. I drank the juice and set the glass aside. I was six months pregnant, and they treated me as if I were a six-month-old child. When I had first told Alorn that he would soon be a father, his happiness knew no bounds. He promised to take care of me and cherish this phase.

He had apologized for leaving me alone during Yuron's birth and promised to make it right this time. He made me angry sometimes with his actions, although he treated me like a princess. Sometimes, an excess of love can be overwhelming, and I wondered if our relationship would always be this happy and peaceful.

He led me to our room and made me sit on the bed. He went to freshen up and change into comfortable clothes. Then he came near me and sat beside me, holding my hand and caressing it while looking into my eyes. His gaze still held the same adoration and love for me. He kissed my hand and pulled up my shirt, revealing my swollen stomach. He gently rubbed his thumb on it and kissed my stomach. Then he slowly gazed at my lips and kissed me passionately. However, my craving for ice cream interrupted the moment, and I broke the kiss. He asked me if I wanted something to eat, and I requested ice cream.

Throughout the night, he brought me whatever I desired and helped me manage my mood swings. Hormonal changes had made me act like a child, and at one point, I even made him sleep in a separate room. He refused and slept on the sofa, which caused him back pain, but he didn't complain or say anything to me. Later, I apologized, and he simply said that it was the effect of pregnancy, adding that he couldn't sleep without me.

"Ah... Alorn, my water broke," I exclaimed. "Ah... take me to the hospital!" I yelled, holding my stomach in pain. The unbearable pain was making me lose control. Alorn rushed to me, holding my hand and trying to calm me down. "You crazy man! I told you to take me to the hospital quickly. Our baby is coming! Ah..." I squeezed his hand, putting pressure on it. "Bud, bring the car keys. I'm taking Mom to the hospital," I heard Alorn instruct Yuron. He scooped me up in his arms and placed me in the car.

We arrived at the hospital, and I was quickly settled on a bed. The pain was excruciating, now doubled in intensity. Throughout the car ride, I cried and screamed in agony, while Alorn did his best to comfort me. "Yuwana, you can do it. Stay in control. Just push, and everything will be fine," Alorn said, worry evident in his eyes. The doctors also encouraged me, but my pushing didn't seem to have the desired effect. I felt drained of energy and couldn't push anymore, and then the sound of a cry filled the room.

I saw a tiny baby in the nurse's arms, and Alorn's eyes filled with tears. The doctor instructed the nurse to clean the baby and bring her back. "Congratulations, Mr. and Mrs. Pegmen. You have a beautiful girl," the doctor said, shaking hands with Alorn before leaving the room after checking on me. Overwhelmed with joy, I cried as well. I couldn't believe that I had just given birth to our second child. Alorn had expressed his desire to have a little princess just like me, and his wish had come true.

"Thank you, beauty. You've made me the happiest man on earth. You've given me the most beautiful gift. I love you so much," he said, pecking my lips. I reciprocated and told him that I loved him too. Then the nurse brought our precious bundle of joy wrapped in a blanket and placed her in my arms. She was incredibly beautiful, with eyes and a nose resembling Alorn's. She gazed lovingly at me and then at her father. Alorn scooped her up in his arms and showered her with kisses. My mother, father, Ania, Yuron, Nisila, everyone came to see our adorable little baby. They were overjoyed, and tears of happiness flowed freely.

"Mom, are you okay? How is my baby sister?" Yuron asked as he approached me. I kissed his cheek and ruffled his hair. He looked worried and scared after witnessing me in pain at home, concern evident in his eyes. "I'm fine, and your..." Alorn interrupted me, saying, "Bud, here is your sister Avery, and she's perfectly fine," while making Avery look at her brother. Avery made a noise when Yuron held her, furthering our happiness. We were filled with joy, and our family was complete. It was the family I had always dreamt of, and it had finally become a reality. Everyone laughed and raised their glasses in celebration of our little one, Avery.

I never anticipated that my life would change so much by being with him, but he had made me complete. He was everything I had ever wanted, and he was my first love turned husband, even though destiny had initially planned something different. This may be the end of my story, but it's not the end of our happiness and struggles. As long as we are together, no one can separate us. Our love is so strong that we will fight for each other.
