MasukSienna's POV
"I'm just scared." I bit my lip. "I really thought Noah was calling me."My chest got tight again. "His voice felt so real"Liam shut his eyes for a quick time. His jaw got tight as he fought against another hit of hurt.When he opened them again, his look stayed soft even with the tiredness behind it."I know" his voice was rough "That's why I'm so worried"I bent my head. I started to see how much my oFive years later."Come on, don't run fast."I laughed as I chased children racing around the playground. Their joyful laughter echoed throughout every corner of the foundation.The swings moved back and forth without stopping. The slide was never empty.Several children played tag across the grass that had once been nothing more than an empty field covered with wild weeds.I paused for a moment to catch my breath. My eyes slowly lifted toward the building standing proudly before me.Five years had passed. It hardly felt long since Sienna and Liam cut the ribbon on the day this foundation officially opened.Now this place was truly alive. A small clinic stood on the side providing daily healthcare for the children and nearby residents.Next to it was a school where cheerful voices of teachers and students filled the classrooms every day. The second floor held the children'
Sienna's POVA few months had. The construction was finally done. I stood in front of the gate holding my breath.The building that I had only dreamed of now stood in front of me. Seeing it with my eyes still felt like a dream.There were trees lined up in the front yard. Swings and slides were already set up in the playground.The sun was shining through the windows and making every room warm. Inside there was a library with lots of books on the shelves.There was a study room. The kitchen was clean and welcoming.A simple clinic was ready. The bedrooms were warm and cozy waiting for the kids who would live here.I had tears in my eyes. I never thought I would be standing here one day.Liam came up behind me. Took my hand. His presence made me feel calm."What are you thinking about?" I. Looked at the building again. Every part of it meant something to
Sienna's POV My days started to shift. If I used to get up each day with a full chest and no thoughts, I now got up with a big list of stuff I wanted to do.After eating breakfast with Liam we spent most days at the building site. The old house that was once covered in tall grass was now filled with sounds of hammers, cutting machines and laughter from workers.I had on a white hard hat that was a bit too large for me. Looking at my face in the car glass made me laugh to myself."What is it?" Liam asked with a grin. His eyes followed me as I looked at my reflection."I look funny."He moved his head softly. His look stayed quiet and true."No.""You look like a director."I chuckled a bit. The noise came out before I could hold i͏t back."A leader who yet can't spot the gap between stone glue and dust."Liam laughed with me. His smile only
Liam's POV I nodded slowly. My eyes stayed on her as she held the folder."You told me you wanted to become a mother to children who need one. So I thought we don't have to wait too long to make that dream come true."Tears slowly filled Sienna's eyes. She turned to the next page with trembling fingers."There are three locations here that I think would be suitable. One is near the city and another is in a coastal area.""The last one is in a region where access to healthcare is still limited. I deliberately looked for a place that truly needs help."She slowly closed the folder. Her tearful eyes met mine."You already did all this?"I smiled. There was only one answer I could give her."Because I believe in your dream.""Now it's my dream too."Sienna wrapped her arms tightly around me. I could feel her body trembling ever so slightly."Thank you."Her voice was barely above a whisper against my shoulder."Thank you for alway
Liam's POVAs the auto came into the path, I looked at Sienna as she stared at our home through the glass. A small grin was on her face, but this time it wasn't full of the sadness I had noticed last time we left a place.She took a big breath. Then she gazed at me with kind eyes."Finally we're home."I nodded while I grasped her hand. My fingers squeezed hers."Yeah.""We're home."We went in together. A couple of months back, this home seemed like a jail to Sienna because each part reminded her of Noah until she slowly lost herself.Now I saw her glide softly from one room to the next. There was no fear and no urgent look for Noah's figure in every spot of the house.She still stopped in front of a family photo. Her fingers softly touched the edge of the frame before a small smile showed up on her face."I'm back, dear," she said softly as if talking to Noah. There was no crying, just a wish she could now keep with calm joy.Heat filled my chest as I saw her. That one moment was en
Sienna's POV I took a breath and my heart felt really calm. "I want to be a mother again, Liam." Liam stopped walking. Looked at me with shock on his face. "Sienna." I shook my head gently. I did not want him to get the idea. "Don't worry that is not what I mean!" I held his hands in mine. My voice was soft. "I met a boy a few days ago then I saw where he lived and his younger brothers and sisters. I saw how they were living." My eyes started to fill with tears because the memories were still really clear. "They do not have food, they are sick and some of them can not even get the help they need because their parents can not afford it." I looked into Liam's eyes. My heart felt heavier. "I keep thinking about them. I wonder if our son Noah was still here, maybe he would want us to help them
Sienna's POV Noah’s figure grew farther away, blending into the flow of other students walking quickly, laughing, talking about class schedules and campus organizations. His backpack hung firmly on his shoulder. His back was straight.Tall. Grown. Ready.Suddenly, time felt like som
Sienna's POV Emily and calm were two words that could never exist side by side.“But how could she end up hugging Liam like that?” I asked, my voice breaking. “Why was she even in Liam’s room? Why didn’t Liam leave immediately? Why did it all look like something that had happened between
Sienna's POV The sound of the front door opening nearly made me drop the spoon I was using to stir the soup.“He’s home!” I exclaimed reflexively, even though there was clearly only one person I’d been waiting for since this afternoon.Liam, lounging casually in the living room, rai
Sienna's POV Noah was silent for a few seconds. I could see his reflection in the rearview mirror, his brows furrowing slightly.“I’ll be a little scared,” he admitted honestly. “But if someone needs help, I have to be brave.”That answer made me smile without realizing it.
