Few months later:

“You don’t have to check her pulse every few minutes.” Dominic comments.

“Still don’t pay you for your two cents,” | grunt back, not taking my hand off my wife's wrist.

| could feel her heart beating even though her eyes were closed.

One. Two. Three. Four. Stable. Steady.

“You're too much.” My second-in-command looks like he wants to roll his eyes, but doesn’t. He knew better,

which meant he didn’t want to end up in the shospital he had to go through months of physical therapy to

leave.

“Why're you still here again?”

Dominic frowns. “I'll be outside. Call if you need anything.” | nod. “Oh, and boss?” He adds, “Nice new house.”

It wasn’t a house, it was a home.

My and my wife’s home.

She stirs, her skin still warm under my touch. “Alex?” She calls softly, blinking.

“Right here, baby,” | mutter.

She blinks, a small smile spreading on her lips. “I feel better. You can let go of my hand.”

“Never,” | smile back at her, bringing her knuckles to my lips to place a soft kiss there. “And better how? You're

still burning up.”

“| feel stronger,” she grumps and gets up on the bed despite my protest. “Have you gotten any sleep?”

“If I go to sleep, who checks that you're breathing.”

“I'm breathing,” she softly replies, gripping my hand tighter. “I'm not going to die on you.”

“You don’t know that,” | scoff, huffing sair out of my mouth as | snuggle close to her. She puts her hands

around with a smile on her lips as | place my ears on her heart, listening to it beat.

That's when | can close my eyes for a moment.

It all started last week, when we cback to the city from a few blissful months in Philadelphia for my parents

anniversary party. The day after that, Mia developed a fever.

Even though | insisted we show a doctor, she chalked it off as overexertion and | let her rest.

Except when | tried waking her up the next morning, she wouldn't wake up. She was burning in my arms and her

breathing was shallow. | couldn't find a pulse on her.

| stopped breathing in that moment.

The six minutes from our hto the emergency room in the hospital were the hardest six minutes of my life,

and | was immediately transported to the twhen she was in the ICU and | helplessly stood outside.

Turns out, she was severe delicated and had an infection. The doctors wanted to be sure it wasn’t a delayed

complication from the stitches or the surgery she had after she was kidnapper

staying in the hospital just because | could force them to keep her there late, we got discharged last evening

| raise my shoulders. “Just selfish.” And then | pull her back to me. There's only so much t| could spend

without touching her constantly.

My fucking kryptonite, my wife.

“What it it’s a girl?” | ask her.

“You can nher,” She tells me. “But, | want to decide her middle name.”

“Deal. I'll just nher princess or something, because if | leave it to you, you'll nher Lake or Pond.” |

She moves her head to look atpointedly. “Let’s hear your options.”

“I don’t have any. I'm sure I'll cup with something nice when the tcomes. A little smile grazes my lips

when | look at her with a cocked eyebrow. “When will the tcome?”

“What?”

“When do you want a baby?”

“I don’t know,” she mumbles, checks heating up suddenly. “Soon, maybe? Maybe we could travel somewhere

before that?”

“Hm,” | drawl. “We never had a honeymoon anyway.”

“Is that all you think of?” she feigns a glare, “So many places to visit.”

“So many positions to fuck in.”

She chuckles before swatting my arm playfully. “Such a one track mind.”

“What can a man do when he has such a sexy wife?” | kiss her forehead, and then her nose.

She blinks, a little daze spreading over her expressions.

“We can’t do more, baby,” | remind her gently, “You're sick.”

“But it's been a week!” She whines, “And I'm all better today,”

“No. You still have a fever.”

My wife whimpers, pouting.

This girl was all mine and | liked showing that to her every t| could.

And even though my brain knew | needed to let her recover, my dick had a head of its own. It got hard at the

mere touch of her, and right now when she was looking atwith those please fuckeyes? Rock fucking

Why She blinks innocently, her hands trailing down my shirt. Does it make you hard?”

“Mia | warn

“Alex” she pleads. “One orgasin.”

I roll my head back, laughter bubbling throughat her demand. She pouts.

“The Mia | met six months ago could over.” | joked, “She was such a prude.”

“I wasn’t a prude. She glares at me, “And just for callingthat, | won't let you fuckfor another week.”

“Are you sure you can stay away?” | cock an eyebrow, “Do you know how you get the week before your period?

Alex, fuck- me-here. Alex, fuck-me-there.”

| was evidently getting on her nerves. “You've gotten too comfortable with me,” she continues glaring. “You

shouldn't know that much.”

“You're my wife. | know everything.” | grin.

“It’s the hormones, okay?” She rolls her eyes. “Maybe it's the week before my period again.”

“No, that was the week before we flew in,” | remind her. “Oh yeah,” | smirk as the memory plays in my mind.

“That's why you wantedto fuck you in our balcony. My wife's kinky.”

“Alex”

“What?” | tease a little more. “Suddenly shy to talk about it?”

“No..” She trails. “I.. | didn’t get my period last week. I- I'm two weeks late.”

“Okay,” | straighten up. “You were sick and on medicines. It could mean anything.”

“Or... it could mean...” Her voice trails.

“You're on the shot.”

“I know.”

| look at my wife, concern and confusion all over her features. “Hey,” | hold her hand in mine. “If you are

pregnant, that’s okay. And if you're not, that’s okay too.”

“It's so soon.”

“Maybe you're not,” | tell her. “And if you are and you don’t want it right now, I'll support you in whatever you

decide.”

Sadness fills in her eyes. “I don’t want to give up on our baby just because | might not be ready,” she mumbles.

“Is it too soon to show up on a test?”

“We won't know till we take one,” | tell her. “Let’s not get ahead of ourselves. I'm going to ask Dom to go to the

pharmacy and get us a kit? Okay?”

She nods, smiling at me.

It takes that idiot ten minutes to go to the store, and he then walked into our room to empty a bag of eight

different ones. “There were so many. | got one of each He shrugged, and then left us alone.

Mia's lower lip wobbled when she took all the tests inside, and that lady took another two minutes.

So what?” She looked up atwith emotions | couldn’t read. Was she happy? Was she sad? “I've dipped the

stick. It takes a few minutes”

“I asked that idiot to buy the most expensive one. Bet that would have given us a result sooner.” | grit while

You said it was going to be okay. Why are you so restless?”

“It-It will be okay, my love.” | kneel in front of her and take her hands in mine. “I’m just restless because | don’t

like not- knowing.”

“I know.” She says, and then her phone tings. “Okay, time's up.”

I hold my breath when she walks back into the bathroom and then gets the kit out.

“Just one life. It's negative.” She says.

| huff sair out of my mouth to cover the disappointment I couldn’t understand why | was feeling.

“That's a good thing right?” She asks in a broken voice. “It was unplanned.”

“Yeah, good thing,” | chin agreement, sitting next to her. “We can travel and see the world first.”

She nods, sobbing.

“Baby,” | hold her. “Don’t cry.”

“I- Sorry-I- For a second, | thought | have a baby in me. Our baby. Your baby.” She sniffs.

“You want to see the world,” | remind her.

“We could've seen the world with our baby.”

“You said you're not ready.”

“I don’t know what it’s like to have a Mom. I'm never going to be ready.”

“Mia, love, are you saying what | think you're saying?” | raise my brows. “Be clear with me.”

She smiles back, excitement flickering in her eyes. “Oh, God. We could be parents soon.”

I was selfish, and she was the reason for that.

| pull away from when my phone rings, and | groan.

“It’s Aurora,” | tell her, and when | was on the bout of disconnecting, Mia looks atpointedly.

“Pick it up.” She tells me, “If you ignore your twin for me, she will hatefor it, and | don’t want to lose the only

friend | have,”

| shake my head at their budding friendship, something | wasn’t always fond of, but pick up the call nonetheless.

“Hello.” My playful voice disappears when incoherent sobs make their way to me.

“All Alex!” My sister sobs, and | freeze.

“Aurora,” | call immediately. “What's wrong? Where are you? Are you at your apartment? I- I'm coming.”

“No.” She sobs. “Alex, | messed up.”

“Ill fix it,” | reply. “Whatever it is, Ill fix it. Ill hide the body.”

“I didn’t kill someone, you idiot!” She cries more.

“Then what is it?”

“You-You can’t fix this.”
