[ALEX]
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,” I grunt back, not taking my hand off my wife’s wrist.
I 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 same hospital 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.” I 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,” I mutter.
She blinks, a small smile spreading on her lips. “I feel better. You can let go of my hand.”
“Never,” I smile back at her, bringing her knuckles to my lips to place a soft kiss there. “And better how? You’re still burning up.”
“I 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,” I scoff, huffing some air out of my mouth as I snuggle close to her. She puts her hands around with a smile
on her lips as I place my ears on her heart, listening to it beat.
That’s when I can close my eyes for a moment.

It all started last week, when we came back 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 I insisted we show a doctor, she chalked it off as overexertion and I let her rest.
Except when I tried waking her up the next morning, she wouldn’t wake up. She was burning in my arms and her breathing was
shallow. I couldn’t find a pulse on her.
I stopped breathing in that moment.
The six minutes from our home to the emergency room in the hospital were the hardest six minutes of my life, and I was
immediately transported to the time when she was in the ICU and I helplessly stood outside.

Chapter 141
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
After she was cleared from those possibilities, and IV drip with saline and then antibiotics and two extra days of staying in the
hospital just because I could force them to keep her there late, we got discharged last evening
Last night was our first night back here, and I couldn’t sleep. I had to make sure my wife was breathing, and her heart was
beating

I raise my shoulders. “Just selfish.” And then I pull her back to me. There’s only so much time I could spend without touching her
constantly.
My fucking kryptonite, my wife.
“What it it’s a girl?” I ask her.
“You can name her,” She tells me. “But, I want to decide her middle name.”
“Deal. I’ll just name her princess or something, because if I leave it to you, you’ll name her Lake or Pond.” I joked.
She moves her head to look at me pointedly. “Let’s hear your options.”
“I don’t have any. I’m sure I’ll come up with something nice when the time comes. A little smile grazes my lips when I look at her
with a cocked eyebrow. “When will the time come?”
“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,” I 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?” I kiss her forehead, and then her nose.
She blinks, a little daze spreading over her expressions.
“We can’t do more, baby,” I 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.
I chuckle. She was pretending like it was hard for her. For me? It was a million times harder. I was obsessed with her since the
day I saw her, and it grew only hundredfold since she became my wife and our marriage became real in the truest sense. I was
addicted to her voice, to her laughter, her touches, her moans, her groans, everything.
This girl was all mine and I liked showing that to her every time I could.
And even though my brain knew I 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 at me with those please fuck–me eyes? Rock fucking hard.
The doctor gave me an all–clear

“You can slow–fuck me? She says, sounding excited.

Why She blinks innocently, her hands trailing down my shirt. Does it make you hard?”
“Mia‘ I warn
“Alex” she pleads. “One orgasin.”
I roll my head back, laughter bubbling through me at her demand. She pouts.
“The Mia I met six months ago could over.” I joked, “She was such a prude.”
“I wasn’t a prude. She glares at me, “And just for calling me that, I won’t let you fuck me for another week.”

“Are you sure you can stay away?” I cock an eyebrow, “Do you know how you get the week before your period? Alex, fuck- me–
here. Alex, fuck–me–there.”
I 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. I know everything.” I 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,” I remind her. “Oh yeah,” I smirk as the memory plays in my mind. “That’s why you
wanted me to fuck you in our balcony. My wife’s kinky.”
“Alex”
“What?” I tease a little more. “Suddenly shy to talk about it?”
“No..” She trails. “I.. I didn’t get my period last week. I- I’m two weeks late.”
“Okay,” I 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.”
I look at my wife, concern and confusion all over her features. “Hey,” I 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,” I 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 I might not be ready,” she mumbles. “Is it too soon to
show up on a test?”
“We won’t know till we take one,” I 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
Mia’s lower lip wobbled when she took all the tests inside, and that lady took another two minutes.

So what?” She looked up at me with emotions I 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.” I grit while pacing around
the room
You said it was going to be okay. Why are you so restless?”
“It–It will be okay, my love.” I kneel in front of her and take her hands in mine. “I’m just restless because I 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.
I huff some air out of my mouth to cover the disappointment I couldn’t understand why I was feeling.
“That’s a good thing right?” She asks in a broken voice. “It was unplanned.”
“Yeah, good thing,” I chime in agreement, sitting next to her. “We can travel and see the world first.”
She nods, sobbing.
“Baby,” I hold her. “Don’t cry.”
“I- Sorry–I- For a second, I thought I have a baby in me. Our baby. Your baby.” She sniffs.
“You want to see the world,” I 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 I think you’re saying?” I raise my brows. “Be clear with me.”
She looks up at me with red stained cheeks. “Maybe, we- we could begin trying for a baby. I could get off the shot. And then
when it happens, it happens.” She pauses, and then quickly adds, “If you’re ready for it too.”
A smile spreads on my lips. “I would love nothing more.”
She smiles back, excitement flickering in her eyes. “Oh, God. We could be parents soon.”
And have lots of sex in the process.”
She laughs, calls me a one–track–head and then throws herself in my arms.
“I love you, Alex.” She mumbles before kissing me in a quick peck. “Thank you for being the best husband in the world.”
“I love you, wife.” I deepen the kiss, pulling her in for more. When it comes to my wife, I would always want more.

I was selfish, and she was the reason for that.
I pull away from when my phone rings, and I groan.
“It’s Aurora,” I tell her, and when I was on the bout of disconnecting, Mia looks at me pointedly.
“Pick it up.” She tells me, “If you ignore your twin for me, she will hate me for it, and I don’t want to lose the only friend I have,”
I shake my head at their budding friendship, something I 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 I freeze.
“Aurora,” I call immediately. “What’s wrong? Where are you? Are you at your apartment? I- I’m coming.”
“No.” She sobs. “Alex, I messed up.”
“I’ll fix it,” I reply. “Whatever it is, I’ll fix it. I’ll hide the body.”
“I didn’t kill someone, you idiot!” She cries more.
“Then what is it?”
“You–You can’t fix this.”
“Aurora,” I was on the verge of losing my patience. My wife looks at me worriedly and I hold her hand in reassurance. “Tell me
what’s wrong so I can fix it.”
“I- I think I am pregnant.”
