Arguing was pointless.

Without a word, Penny accepted the sentence and left the room.

Simon's last words were tough. Unfair. She knew he was a jerk, but deep down, they still affected her. Was she responsible for this situation?

What if she had reacted sooner...?
December 8, 2025 at 9:29 PM
She was unable to get a word in against Simon.

It all happened so fast. Penny felt the ground collapse beneath her feet. He hadn't brought her here to talk, but to dictate a choice that had already been made.

She knew he was merciless, and today he was proving it.
December 8, 2025 at 9:28 PM
Simon's tone shifted. As if he could no longer contain his anger or choose his words carefully.

He figured it all out! Loose-fitting clothes were no longer enough to hide Penny's pregnancy, and she wasn't fooling anyone.

She hadn't told him, she knew too well why she was given the job initially...
December 8, 2025 at 9:27 PM
As usual, he began his speech with a compliment he didn't really mean.

Penny was expecting remarks about the quality of her work, but he turned the conversation in a different direction...

The accusation took her by surprise. Dishonest? What did he mean?
December 8, 2025 at 9:26 PM
Penny was used to Simon's falsely cordial tone and his lectures. He wasn't exactly the manager one would dream of having.

She tried to appear unaffected, but she sensed that this discussion would not be very pleasant...
December 8, 2025 at 9:25 PM
Her superior, Simon, joined her at the coffee machine.

After a compliment that, as always, sounded forced, he asked to see her in private.
December 8, 2025 at 9:24 PM
After standing for an hour presenting the results of her work, Penny's legs were feeling heavy.

She was glad that the meeting was coming to an end and was looking forward to sitting down with a cup of coffee before diving back into her reports.
December 8, 2025 at 9:22 PM
At the office, Penny forgot for a few hours that she was about to give birth and turn her life upside down.

Immersed in her various files, leading meetings, there, she became once again the brilliant businesswoman she usually was.

That day, she had just finished a presentation.
December 8, 2025 at 9:21 PM
The ambitious Penny wasn't the happiest pregnant woman on earth.

Her energy was fading, she had difficulty walking and standing up straight, she had an endless appetite.

Liam did his best to make her life easier by taking care of everything, but he felt like nothing was enough.
December 8, 2025 at 9:19 PM
In the following weeks, their daily lives did not change much.

They continued to build a more secure future for the two of them, three even, soon to be four.

Penny's belly kept growing rounder, and she wore more and more loose-fitting clothes that would not highlight her belly too much.
December 8, 2025 at 9:17 PM
When he finally stood up to hug her, Penny felt her heart lighten. An important first step had been taken.

The fact that he was so excited and invested in what would be a turning point in both their lives was a relief to her.

They would do this together. He promised her, and she knew he meant it.
December 8, 2025 at 9:14 PM
Liam's excitement contrasted with Penny's almost resilient calm.

She was mainly waiting for his reaction so she could adjust her behaviour to his.
The first time she got pregnant, he said he was ready to be the child's father, but part of Penny was afraid that he'd have changed his mind since then
December 8, 2025 at 9:13 PM
Penny knew exactly what he was thinking of, and she cut him off immediately. She had found out about her pregnancy late. Too late.

Liam, shocked, took a while to put the pieces of the puzzle together.
When he finally understood, he brought his hands to his face. He couldn't believe it.
December 8, 2025 at 9:12 PM
It was one morning, at breakfast , after turning the subject over and over in her mind, that Penny decided to share the news with Liam.

She did it quickly, like pulling off a bandaid to avoid prolonging the pain.

Liam's first thought was a memory... He had been through this before.
December 8, 2025 at 9:08 PM
Good morning everyone ! ☕

To motivate me to post a bit more and share it all with you, here are a few sneak peeks into Liam and Penny's life in the next updates. (I'm way ahead in my gameplay)

I hope you haven't forgot about them, I wish you all a great Friday 🧡
December 5, 2025 at 7:34 AM
Look who's at Liam's bar!

Have a nice day, friends 🧡
December 4, 2025 at 7:13 AM
I thought it'd be interesting to see the stats of the whole year, but in the end it kinda made me sad 😕

I know I haven't been so active lately, but to see the interactions graph was brutally eye-opening ...

I'm grateful for the friends I made here though 🧡

(Also, I use "haha" way too much?? Haha)
December 3, 2025 at 6:57 AM
I tried, but it wasn't any better 😕
Some shaders won't work, and some others make my screen green and glitchy even with Reshade
December 1, 2025 at 9:33 PM
What is happening?? 😭
I updated my CPU, graphics card, all drivers, Gshade, and shaders, but nothing works.

MXAO and ADOF shaders don't show up in-game anymore, even though they are loaded correctly
December 1, 2025 at 9:21 PM
Guys, I'm desperate, my Gshade broke after the last update.

I tried everything, reinstalling, installing Reshade instead, repairing the game, I can't find the reason and it's driving me nuts 😵‍💫

Some shaders won't compile and it makes it all very weird...

Does anyone know how to fix this, please ?🙏🏻

Penny headed for the bathroom, the test almost useless.

Her mind had tried to hide the truth from her, but Nonna had opened her eyes and she now noticed her rounded belly.

She hadn't changed her mind about wanting a child, and was assailed by doubts, fears, and unanswered questions.
November 30, 2025 at 9:54 PM
Red stood there, happy to have company.

Penny spoke to her as if she were waiting for some kind of confirmation.

Had she been blind? Delusional? Had Nonna made yet another unfounded assumption?

She wouldn't be able to sleep until she knew for sure.
November 30, 2025 at 9:51 PM
That night, Penny couldn't sleep.

In the middle of the night, after tossing and turning in bed, she got up.

Giuseppina's words were still running through her head, and she was afraid to understand their meaning..

She gained a little weight, true. But until then, she hadn't been worried about it.
November 30, 2025 at 9:49 PM
In the end, the smell of smoke and the soot-blackened kitchen had not tarnished Winterfest Eve.

Penny couldn’t stop giggling at her apron, Liam flexed his toes proudly, showing off his pizza socks to Nonna, who beamed at their reactions.

Tomorrow, Liam would come and replace what had been burned.
November 30, 2025 at 9:45 PM
Then they opened their presents.

Giuseppina had made Penny a personalised apron, embroidered with the words "𝘈𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘻𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘦! 𝘗𝘦𝘯𝘯𝘺 𝘪𝘯 𝘤𝘶𝘤𝘪𝘯𝘢!"

For Liam, she had knitted a pair of socks with pizzas on them. (yes, she knew pizzas weren't italian, but he loved them)
