After hanging up, Marcus returned to his bedroom and found Valerie sleeping peacefully. The sight warmed his heart. She wore a beige silk nightgown, her growing belly rident now. He couldn’t take his eyes off it, imagining their two little ones nestled inside. Six months still lay ahead, but Marcus wished he could fast–forward and hold them in his arms already. 

He decided to take a shower before getting ready for work. Yet, after drying off, he couldn’t resist climbing back into bed to cuddle Valerie. He needed to feel her close, to touch her belly, and connect with their unborn children. Valerie stirred as Marcus pulled her gently into his arms, stretching lazily like a cat before nestling against him again.. 

Soon, the alarm clock rang, as it did every morning. Marcus hadn’t slept at all, his mind racing with ideas and worries, but he had savored every moment of holding his wife. 

“I love you, Valerie. I love you, and I love our children,” he murmured, his voice filled with emotion. “I can’t wait to hold our little ones.” 

Surprisingly, Valerie’s small hand reached up to rest on his cheek. 

“I love you too, Marcus,” she whispered. “Never forget that you’re the love of my life.” 

Marcus hugged her tighter, feeling a surge of tenderness as she stirred awake. 

“My love, I thought you were asleep,” he said softly. 

“I am,” she mumbled playfully. 

“Doesn’t look like it.” 

“These babies make me so sleepy… but we need to get up. You have work, and I need to make you breakfast.” 

“No, no, absolutely not,” Marcus protested. “You need to rest. I can make my own coffee, or Greta’s probably up by now.” 

“I like making breakfast for you. It puts me at ease knowing you’ve eaten something before leaving,” she replied. with a smile. 

“Fine, but promise me you won’t overexert yourself. If we reed more help around the house, just say the word- we’ll hire more staff. I don’t want you stressing yourself. Aild as much as you love carrying John around, you need to think about these little cupcakes now,” he said, placing his hand tenderly on her belly. 

At Marcus’s gentle touch, Valerie felt a sudden wave of desire. She noticed, somewhat amused, that her husband wasn’t wearing anything, and despite his initial hesitation–worried about her well–being she convinced him otherwise. After some time together, the two emerged from their room, their expressions radiating joy and 

contentment 

Once Marcus finally left the house, he called Frederick. He informed him that he wouldn’t be coming to the office today as he had a matter to resolve out of town. Driving for a couple of hours, Marcus arrived at the nursing home where Frank Levett had been confined for years. The director of the facility, Dr. Monroe, was already waiting to greet him. 

“Mr. Palmer, it’s been so long!” Dr. Monroe said warmly. 

“Dr. Monroe, it’s a pleasure to finally meet you in person,” Marcus replied, extending his hand. 

“It’s been years since you made your special request. Mr. Levett has been well cared for here, and he hasn’t lacked for essentials.”

“I know. I haven’t been able to visit my ‘friend‘ until now. How is he?” 

“As I mentioned, he has everything he needs. But he’s quite elderly now, and his records aren’t precise. He suffers from some memory loss, which is typical for a man of 80.” 

“And his blindness?” 

“He’s adapted to it. However, what pains him most is that he’s gradually lost the ability to walk. These days, he uses a wheelchair. If you’d like, I can take you to him. He’s currently outside getting some sun.”
