Are you ok?" -he asked, kneeling beside her and gently placing a hand on her shoulder " i need to lay down.."- she mumbled and carlos quickly helped her lay down As Avery settled onto the cushions, Carlos sat beside her, his hand resting reassuringly on her belly. "Just breathe, mi vida"- he urged, his voice gentle as he stroked her hair. "Everything will be okay. I'm here for you"-Avery closed her eyes, focusing on the soothing rhythm of Carlos's voice and the comforting touch of his hand.
