LEXI
Seven months flew by in a whirlwind of excitement. My belly grew, and our love continued to flourish. Julian pampered me, catering to my every need. We prepared the nursery, imagining our little one's arrival.
At 3 a.m., my water broke. Julian sprang into action, rushing me to the hospital. He held my hand tight, coaching me through contractions.
"Breathe, Lexi. You're doing amazing," Julian whispered.
Dr. Smith smiled reassuringly. "You're progressing beautifully, Lexi."
At 6:05 a.m., our little miracle arrived. Dr. Smith held up our baby girl.
"Congratulations, Lexi and Julian. You have a beautiful daughter!"
Tears streamed down my face. Julian beamed, his eyes shining.
We gazed at our daughter, overwhelmed with love.
"What do you think we should name her?" Julian asked.
"I've always loved Aria," I replied.
"Perfect," Julian whispered. "Aria Blackwood."
Aria's tiny hands wrapped around Julian's finger.
"Hello, little Aria," Julian cooed.
I took Aria in my arms, feeling an overwhelming rush of love.
"Hello, sweet girl," I whispered.
Julian wrapped his arms around us.
"We're a family," he whispered.
Our love story had come full circle.
As I gazed at Aria, I knew. "Love Reborn" needed a new epilogue.
I pulled out my laptop.
"The greatest love story is the one we write together," I typed.
Julian smiled.
"Our story's just beginning," he said.
Aria snuggled into my chest.
Our hearts overflowed with joy.
In the days that followed, we marveled at Aria's tiny features. Her nose, Julian's nose. Her eyes, my eyes.
We navigated parenthood, learning together.
Through sleepless nights and diaper changes, our love remained unwavering.
As the sun dipped below the horizon, we sat on the beach, Aria giggling in Julian's arms.
"Forever and always," Julian whispered.
Our love shone brighter.
Epilogue:
"Love Reborn" became a bestseller.
Readers cherished our love story.
But none of that mattered.
Our love, our family - that was everything.
