The Greatest Gift
Kelly’s POV
I woke up feeling comfortable while lying on the long couch. A blanket was keeping me warm and I could smell a delicious aroma of something from the kitchen. I slowly pulled myself up and sat on the couch. I felt the need to pee and when I was about to push myself up, Plerce came and held my arm, supporting
I looked at him as he put the blanket on the couch and held my waist carefully. He knew what to do, so he accompanied me upstairs and brought me to the bathroom inside my room.
He opened the cover of the toilet before he went out of the bathroom, I was watching him as he did that and my baby suddenly kicked. I bit my bottom lip and walked slowly towards the water closet.
“You recognize your dad, hmm,” I whispered as I gently caressed my baby bump.
My due date is approaching fast and my baby bump is really heavy. I always have a hard time walking around and moving comfortably. However, talking to my baby is really enjoyable.
Pierce knocked twice followed by his voice. “You done?”
I flushed the toilet and glanced at the door. “Yeah.”
Pierce entered and immediately grabbed my toothbrush. He put toothpaste on it and handed it to me. I once confronted him about this, saying I’m not invalid and I can do these things alone but he’s persistent. He said he wants to make sure that I’m safe all the time regardless if I’m pregnant or not.
That’s when I realized that he must’ve been watching me all these time. While I was with Klay, he must be lurking around, watching everything. So when everything turned upside down, he was there to quickly rescue me. Given that he was there when I broke down in the airport even when he should be in a different country.
1 cooked your favorite pasta for breakfast,” Pierce said while we’re walking down the stairs.
That’s what I smelled when I woke up?
Pierce helped me sit on the chair before he put the plate of pasta in front of me. I smiled when I smelled. the delicious food.
“Thanks!” I said happily and started eating.
He smiled back and started eating as well when my baby kicked again.
I groaned and caressed my baby bump.
“What is it?” Pierce asked worriedly.
Chuckling, I shook my head. “The baby must’ve loved it
He smiled widely and pulled himself up. He squatted beside me and started caressing my baby bump. You love pasta? Really?”
“Ow!” I shifted my weight and swallowed hard when she kicked again.
I laughed and looked at Pierce. “She did it again.”
That seemed to make him more happy. He continued talking and caressing my baby bump, completely, forgetting about breakfast. And while I was watching him talking to our baby, my heart was racing inside my chest.
The Greatest Gift
This is bad. Falling for him again will not do any good to me. Although I distanced myself and reminded my heart about the current situation, I think the inevitable will always happen no matter what the circumstances will be.
I avoided him but I still fell. I’m bound to fall in love with him again when I fiercely denied it at first.
“May I know what name you would give her?” Pierce asked, looking up at me.
I shrugged my shoulders. 1 haven’t thought of one.”
That’s true. I don’t know what to name her. Although there are so many ideas coming in my mind, I feel like none of those would suit her
Pierce nodded and smiled again. I tilted my head as he continued talking to the baby inside me. I feel that she’s enjoying the presence of her dad. She kicked as soon as Pierce touched my stomach. She must’ve
felt it.
I’m sorry, baby. Your daddy is committed to another woman and your mommy is afraid of entering a relationship again.
After our breakfast, Pierce cleaned the dishes and invited me to decorate our Christmas tree for
tomorrow.
I was the one putting up the Christmas lights and I enjoyed it. I even decorated the main door and Pierce was following everything I told him to do

I wished for him to never come back in my life before because I know that I’d still fall for him again. However, fate brought us together again. Now, I’m helplessly fallen but the fear in my heart is cre
creeping The pain and everything I’ve been through brought me trauma.
Christmas day came and Pierce happily greeted me, handing me a wrapped gift. “Merry Christmas.”
Because I accepted a part–time job and working from him, I was able to buy him a gift. Together with the Christmas card, I handed him my gift.
“I have a gift too?” He asked, shocked.
I smirked. “What? You don’t want it?”
“Why won’t I want it?” He was quick to accept the card and the box.
