The three of them sat around the table, forming their own small, cozy world.
Oliver stabbed his tiny fork into a piece of potato and chewed happily, “Mommy, this is so good. Better than the food at the Pce.”
Evelyn blinked. She remembered never bringing him dinner at the restaurant called Pce. ‘Or did I forget?‘
“Pce? What Pce, baby?” She asked.
Oliver shrugged. “The one in my dreams.”

Axel can’t help but chuckle as she looks at her.
“Mr. Knight, eat your steak…” Evelyn smiled innocently.

When they were done, Evelyn slipped away quietly to the bedroom to prepare Axel’s gift.
Meanwhile, Axel stayed with Oliver, listening to him chatter about horses and how he wanted to grow tall and handsome like Daddy.

Evelyn tried not tough. “Maybe.”
“We must be quiet,” Oliver continued, lowering his voice like a spy. “Daddy must not
know.”
“Yes. Daddy will never know.” She nodded solemnly, even though she knew Axel was fully aware and waiting.
But halfway through their nning, Oliver began blinking slowly. His eyes grew heavy, his little body leaning into Evelyn.
“Mommy…” he mumbled. “I’m… not… sleepy… I’m just resting my… eyes…”

Twenty minutester, Evelyn gently shook Oliver again,
“Baby…e on… remember the cake?”
Oliver’s eyes snapped open. “Cake?”
“That’s right. Daddy’s surprise.”

Oliver gave Axel his gift first–a gold miniature horse.
“Wow, buddy… This?” Axel was genuinely suprised, as this was the first time he finally saw why Evelyn bought it for him.
“Daddy, this is for your office,” Oliver said proudly. “So you don’t forget me.”
Axel’s chest tightened. “I could never forget you, Buddy.” He said he ruffled his smooth
hair.
“Alex, this is from me…” Evelyn handed him a small velvet box.
Inside was a pair of sleek, elegant cufflinks engraved with A & E.

“These are perfect, Eve…” he murmured. “I’ll wear them every day.” He kissed her hand, and for a moment, said, “Thank you!”

But with Evelyn… and Oliver, his own family.
Just when the moment felt full, Oliver yawned loudly, leaned forward, and fell asleep
on Axel’sp like a small sack of potatoes.
Evelyn and Axle can’t help but burst intoughter.
“We should let him sleep here,” Evelyn whispered.
“I agree.”
They tucked Oliver under the nket, leaving him sprawled peacefully.

“Happy birthday,” she murmured against his lips.
He smiled, brushing a strand of hair from her cheek. “There’s still one present missing.”
“Huh!? I’ve already given it to you. I no longer have a gift for you…”
Axel’s voice dropped, warm and low. “I want another present… A second child.”
Evelyn was stunned. She searched his eyes and found nothing but love… and the same yearning she carried quietly in her heart.
“Axel…” she whispered.
His hand cupped her cheek. “Only if you want it too.”
