    Summary

    Six years ago, Mok Arseni ran from fear and nearly lost everything: his beloved husband, Rome Arseni; his lovechild, Elio Arseni; and his own life. Five years ago, he woke from a coma to a one-year-old son who called him Dadda— and a husband who had learned how to survive loving a body that would not answer back. Three years ago, Rome entered therapy because loving someone who almost died never really leaves the body.

    Last year, Mok said it out loud: He wanted another child.
    This time, he would stay.
    But love after trauma was never simple.

    This story began where healing chose honesty over protection—
    with a second pregnancy that arrives not quietly
    About husbands learning how to fight without destroying each other.
    About a six-year-old who refuses secrets.
    About a stubborn incoming baby.

    And about two men who must learn, again and again, how to love without running.
