Eight years of love. Six years of heartbreak. One unforgettable second chance. After walking away from the man who broke her heart, Crystal builds a new life across the country with their daughter, determined never to look back. But when fate reunites her with Devale years later, old wounds reopen-and so do feelings they never truly let go.

Fatima a chill quiet girl. Zac a hard worker.

Will they choose each other when all else fails? It starts slow but picks up around chapter 4ish

For ten years, the marriage of Atlanta insiders Zac and Fatima Taylor has stood as a monument to resilience, fortified by the shared grief of a devastating loss. Six years ago, Fatima suffered a heartbreaking stillbirth, a tragedy that nearly fractured their bond before they learned to heal in the quiet, leafy enclave of their upscale Atlanta neighborhood. When a charismatic new couple moves into the sprawling modern home directly next door, bringing with them a vibrant six-year-old daughter, an obligatory neighborhood welcome dinner seems like a simple neighborly duty. But as soon as Fatima steps across the threshold and locks eyes with the child, the room dissolves. Flashes of a sterile hospital room, a missing medical file, and an unexplainable maternal instinct pierce through a decade of repressed trauma. As the evening unfolds beneath the soft glow of an Atlanta twilight, polite conversation gives way to chilling revelations. The new neighbors harbor dangerous secrets, and the striking resemblance between the little girl and the other child begins to unlock a horrifying truth. Caught between the terrifying possibility that her child was stolen and the desperate hope that she isn't losing her mind, Fatima embarks on a relentless pursuit of the past-uncovering a web of deceit woven by the very people now living inches away.

Eight years ago, Zac Taylor and Fatima Marie Wilson had something real. Then life happened. Zac's music career took off, Fatima built a name for herself behind the camera, and somewhere along the way, the two lost touch. Neither expected to see the other again-especially not under studio lights, with Fatima photographing the album cover of the man she once loved. But one dinner changes everything. Old feelings come back easier than either of them wants to admit. What starts as catching up slowly turns into late-night conversations, stolen moments, and a second chance neither of them planned for. This time, Zac isn't letting her slip away. As their relationship grows, so does the pressure of Zac's career, the cameras following them, and the challenge of figuring out how to love each other while living two very different lives. Then Fatima gets news that changes their future completely. A baby. Now Zac and Fatima have to learn how to become more than just two people finding their way back to each other. They're becoming a family. Between first appointments, nursery plans, public attention, quiet nights at home, and all the little moments in between, they're discovering that sometimes the love story you thought was over was only waiting for the right time to begin again. Before You Were Born is a story about second chances, growing together, unexpected love, and the little life that brings two people closer than they ever imagined.

When family power tears Zac Hilton and Fatima apart, they lose years they can never get back. Reunited by fate, they fight for love, rebuild their family, and discover that forgiveness, faith, and second chances are the greatest legacies of all.

The words made her heart race. For the first time in a long time, Fatima wasn't worried about what could go wrong. She was excited about what could go right. "Zac?" "Yeah?" "I think our best chapter is just beginning." He smiled and wrapped an arm around her. "Then let's write it together." As the city lights sparkled below, neither of them knew that a surprise was about to change their lives forever.
