~Bella's POV
I stepped under the warm spray of the shower, letting the water soothe my nerves, cascading down my body. My body still felt weak from throwing up, but I forced myself to push past it. I lathered soap onto my skin, taking my time to scrub away any lingering discomfort. My hands instinctively brushed against my stomach, and I sighed. I still couldn't believe that a life was growing inside me— half me and half Alex.
After rinsing off, I wrapped myself in a towel and stepped out of the bathroom. Alex was already picking out his clothes, his movements effortless and confident. He turned to look at me, his eyes scanning my face.
"Feeling better?" he asked.
I nodded, forcing a small smile. "Yeah, just needed a shower."
He didn't look convinced but didn't push further.
