The End
Years passed,the children grew. Noah became tall enough to look Julius directly in the eyes, though he still complained whenever Julius reminded him that he used to fit comfortably in one arm. Aria grew into a bright, fearless girl who inherited Lyra's determination and Julius's stubbornness. She asked questions constantly, challenged everything and whenever Noah tried to tell her what she couldn't do, she reminded him that he wasn't her father.Julius secretly found that hilarious.One evening, he stood on the hill behind their home and watched the children training. Noah was teaching Aria how to hold a wooden sword.“You're holding it wrong,” he said.“No, I'm not” she yelled“You are” Noah corrected “Father said you would teach me” Aria adess“I am teaching you” Noah was getting tired already “Then stop complaining” she yelled again.Noah stared at her, Julius laughed from a distance and Lyra stood beside him “She sounds like you”Julius smiled, “She sounds like youx“No. She's de
The Final Timeline
The morning began with an argument, not a battle, an invasion and not even anything remotely dangerous.It was an argument over a wooden sword, “Aria, give it back!”“No!” she argued “It belongs to me!” Noah cried out“I found it!” She said“You found it beside my bed!” Noah yelled“Then it was waiting for me!” Aria saidJulius opened his eyes. For a few seconds, he remained still, staring at the ceiling. Beside him, Lyra pulled the blanket higher over her head “Don't get involved”Julius turned toward her, “Our children are fighting”“They do that every morning” Lyra said“I should stop them” Julius argued “You should sleep” Lyra suggested Another shout came from outside, “Father!”Julius sighed, “I've been summoned”Lyra peeked out from beneath the blanket, “Good luck”Julius kissed her forehead before leaving the room. When he reached the garden, he found Noah standing with his arms crossed while Aria held the wooden sword behind her back.Aria was three years old and had alread
The Life After
Three years passed quietly.For Julius, that was almost stranger than war as there were no ancient armies appearing in the sky, no mysterious doors opening between worlds and no beings demanding his attention. Instead, his greatest daily challenge had become convincing a three-year-old girl that breakfast was not optional.“Aria,you haven't eaten”“I ate yesterday” the girl said with her tiny but cool sounded voice.Julius stared at her, “That was yesterday”She folded her arms, “I wasn't hungry”“You're hungry now” Julius uttered “No”Her stomach growled while Julius raised an eyebrow and Aria looked down at herself,then back at him, “That wasn't me”From the doorway, Lyra burst out laughing.Julius turned, “Don't laugh.”“I can't help it” Lyra grinnedAria ran toward her mother, “Mother, Father is lying”Lyra picked her up, “What did he lie about?”“He said I'm hungry” Aria half screamed Lyra looked at Julius then at the little girl, “Are you?”“No” Her stomach growled again.Lyra s
She Is Here
By midday, the house had completely changed. There was a strange quietness in the corridors, the kind that came from everyone being afraid to make too much noise around a newborn but it lasted exactly twenty-three minutes then Noah dropped a wooden toy. The crash echoed through the hallway and everyone froze.Noah looked at the toy, then at the bedroom. Then at Julius, who had appeared in the doorway with an expression that could have frightened an ancient god,“I didn't mean to”Julius stared at him, “You almost woke your sister”“But she didn't wake” he saidJulius opened his mouth but before he could say anything, a tiny cry came from the bedroom.Noah's face fell, “I think she heard it”Julius sighed while Sophia, standing behind him, covered her mouth to hide her laughter, “You're learning already,” she whispered.“Learning what?” Julius asked “How difficult it is to raise children” she replied Julius looked at Noah then at the baby crying inside and back to Sophia, “I've faced
The Longest Night
The first sign that something was wrong came just after midnight. Lyra woke with a sharp pain across her lower abdomen. She remained still for a few seconds, waiting for it to pass and it didShe exhaled and turned toward Julius.He was asleep beside her, one arm resting loosely across the bed.Lyra smiled then another pain came, this one was stronger.She sat up, “Julius”His eyes opened instantly, “What happened?”“I think something is wrong” she saidHe was already sitting up, “Where does it hurt?”“My stomach.”His expression changed, “Can you stand?”“I think so” Lyra pushed herself out of bed.The moment her feet touched the floor, another contraction seized her, she grabbed Julius's arm.He caught her before she could stumble, “Lyra”She breathed through the pain. When it finally eased, she looked at him, “I think the baby is coming”For perhaps the first time in his existence, Julius looked completely helpless, he stared at her, “Now?”Lyra almost laughed despite the pain, “Ye
Aria
By the time Lyra entered her fifth month of pregnancy, the entire household had accepted one undeniable truth. The baby had already taken control of the house. Nobody had officially announced it,there had been no meeting,decree or discussion. It simply happened.If Lyra wanted something, someone found it, if Lyra was tired, everyone would be quiet and if Lyra complained about the heat, three people would immediately open windows while another went searching for a fan and if she woke up in the middle of the night craving something strange, Julius was expected to solve the problem regardless of how impossible the request sounded.Julius had stopped complaining mostly, rather he had also developed a habit of asking Lyra what she wanted before she even knew herself. It has become a source of amusement for everyone.That afternoon, Lyra was sitting beneath the tree with Sophia, Seraphine, Elara, and Lily when Julius walked past carrying several baskets of fruit.Lyra watched him, "What are
