Chapter 31 - This Moment

I'm gonna take this moment, make it last forever
I'm gonna give my heart away and pray we'll stay together
Cause you're the one good reason
You're the only girl that I need
Cause you're more beautiful than I have ever seen
I'm gonna take this night
Make it evergreen

"Let's start closing!" I announced and the closure of the chest wall. The last surgical operation that I had to perform was an Open Thoracotomy, which involves opening of the chest wall to gain access to the heart. It was a case of a cardiac tamponade after being stabbed three times to the heart. I had to repair the heart to save the patient.

It was already 10 in the evening when I finished everything and was able to leave the hospital. I was so tired but I still felt excited in going home to see the two most important people of my life - Donghae and my son Aiden. I drove fast to my home.

Chapter 30 - Whatever It Takes

Whatever you want, whatever you need
Whatever it takes, I'll do anything
If I have to crawl, get down on my knees
Whatever it takes, I'll do anything

"Appa! Can we buy ice cream?" Aiden asked when he saw the ice cream van. 

I felt happy hearing him call me 'appa' and I smiled at him. We headed towards the van. We bought two ice cream. Aiden wanted chocolate flavor so I granted his wish. He started licking the ice cream and stained his cheek. I wiped it off and he chuckled.

How cute can this kid be?

Chapter 29 - The Boy is Mine

You need to give it up
Had about enough
It's not hard to see
The boy is mine
I'm sorry that you seem to be confused
He belongs to me
The boy is mine...

"Can I call you daddy?"

Aiden's question struck me.

I was carrying him while the three of us were heading inside Sharp Star City Apartment towards our dorm. Aiden wrapped his arms around my neck and smiled at Althea.

"Why, do you me to become your daddy?" I asked him.

"Of course!" he replied cheerfully. I heard Althea chuckle behind us.

Chapter 28 - Sunshine

Sunshine through my window
That's what you are
My shining star
Making me feel like I'm top of the world
Telling me that I'd go far




ALTHEA RYZ FAJARDO

It's good to see him again.

I already planned our meeting but I never thought it would be this way. I never expected him to meet our son at the concert. And I've never imagined meeting him again at the backstage carrying Aiden.

Things do happen when you least expect them.

Chapter 27 - A Little More Time on You

Your love is like a river, peaceful and deep
Your soul is like a secret that I never could keep
Why I look into your eyes I know that it's true
God must have spent a little more time on you


LEE DONGHAE

Althea...

I froze. I didn't know what to do. Leeteuk moved towards her and shook her hand.
"Hello, it's nice to meet you. You son Aiden is very talented."

Chapter 26 - Find Me

Find me here in your arms
Now I'm wondering where you've always been
Blindly, I came to you
Knowing you'd breathe new life from within

Chapter 25 - My Everything

You are my everything
Nothing your love won't bring
My life is yours alone
The only love I've ever known 
Your spirit pulls me through
When nothing else will do
Every night I pray, on bended knee
That you will always be my everything

"Congratulations Dr. Fajardo. You're seven weeks pregnant!" Dr. Wu, my colleague who is an OB-Gyn resident told me after showing me my ultrasound results. I delayed my sonography for a week as I originally planned since I was not ready yet.
