Charlotte's POV
I couldn't begin to put into words the rush of emotions that swelled inside me as I watched the expression on Jack's face shift—first from disbelief, then to something softer, something almost tender—the moment I told him I was pregnant with his child. For a heartbeat, the world seemed to stand still between us. His eyes, wide with shock, slowly filled with a warmth I hadn't seen in a long time.
I was afraid it would scare him away—that he wasn't ready to be a father—but the look on his face eased every fear. He wanted this too, and that made me feel whole.
