I quickly opened my eyes to find Atlas lying beside me. Staring at him in confusion, I struggled to grasp what was happening. He looked atwith a tender smile and gently kissed me. "Good morning, sleepyhead. Are you finally awake?" Still dazed, I mumbled, "What tis it?" "It's 7," he replied softly.

With a surge of happiness, I sat up abruptly, ready to get out of bed. Atlas's hand shot out to stop me. "Careful there, don't rush." "I need to see my Dad," I exclaimed eagerly.

I was pregnant with Atlas's child? Our child was on the way? He was going to be a father? No wonder his expression was so gentle, and he was unable to hide his pride.
My mind raced, recalling the last tI had my period. I had completely forgotten about this.

As Atlas's words trailed off, Arnold swaggered in through the door.
