They made a life… but now they have to survive it.

Jalen Carter thought he understood pressure—until he held his son for the first time.

In a hospital room filled with tension, exhaustion, and unspoken fears, everything shifts. Skai is no longer just the girl he can’t stay away from—she’s the mother of his child. And suddenly, every look, every touch, every quiet moment between them carries weight.

Because this isn’t just about love anymore.

It’s about responsibility.

About staying.

About choosing each other when everything feels like it could fall apart.

As emotions run high and the reality of their new life settles in, Jalen and Skai find themselves drawn closer in ways that are deeper, softer… and harder to ignore.

Because creating a family was the easy part.

Now they have to survive it.
