her face.

"Maybe. By the way, Ava and I decided to open a business! I'm going to spend the next few days working on designs, and Ava's on the hunt for a factory to make the clothes. We're really starting our own brand! I feel super excited about it," Mona said, her smile lighting up "Wow, that sounds great, but won't you be tired?" Maxwell asked, bending down to scoop her up and carry her to the nearby sofa, holding her hand gently.

"Not at all! I'll just handle the design work and help fund it. Ava's taking care of everything else, so it's really easy for me." Mona could see that Maxwell was worried about her health-especially since she was pregnant.

Since she had found out she was expecting, she had felt a little sleepier and pickier about food, but she hadn't been sick or exhausted from sketching. Plus, it was something she loved to do.

Hearing her enthusiasm eased Maxwell's worries a bit, but he still said, "Okay, just make sure you take care of yourself. If you get tired, don't hesitate to take a break."

He remembered reading that staying positive was really important for pregnant women, and he wanted to support her however he could.

"Don't worry about me! You just focus on working hard and bringing in the money for our little one. I've got it covered," Mona said, playing with his hand gently.

If their child was a boy, she hoped he would inherit Maxwell's long fingers. They were perfect for writing.

"Trust me, no matter how many babies we end up having, we're going to be just fine financially," he said, thinking about how they should probably come up with a cute nickname for their future child. Calling it 'baby' forever didn't seem like the best plan. Maxwell caught a glimpse of Mona's bright eyes, which sparkled like fresh berries straight from the fridge, with a hint of frostiness that made them even more enchanting. Right then, a nickname popped into Maxwell's head.

"Mona, how about we call the baby Sweet Berry? It'll save us from saying 'our child' all the time," he said with a playful grin.

'Sweet Berry, huh?' Mona thought, rolling it around in her mind. 'It sounds cute for a girl, but for a boy? Not so much.

"Isn't that a bit too casual?" Mona asked, raising an eyebrow.

Why don't you come up with a name to compare?" Maxwell replied, clearly proud of his

eyes but couldn't help but smile; if it made him happy, he could have his fun. Meanwhile, Ava had just resigned from her job and wasted no
