Not the next day but yes after two days Rafael asked me to move back to the penthouse, not waiting until our marriage which is going to happen again in a month and I really have no idea why does he want to marry me again.

I stood in front of the mirror scanning myself properly from top to bottom scared as hell. I have to talk to Rafael about it, I can't hide it from him. My hands slowly reached my belly, caressing it.

I looked at the clock it was 7, he might be back any moment now.

I took the test and it was positive but I didn't believe in that stick, why? Because I didn't want to. I don't even know how will he react or if he wants a kid or not.

I made my way downstairs Dad was in the kitchen for the first time, he was struggling so much so he asked me to help him in making mac and cheese which we would have for dinner. While helping him I was continuously looking towards the door waiting for Connor.

He was about to bring the reports, I visited the doctor yesterday just to make sure if I am really pregnant or not.

I hope it's negative and the stick is wrong.

Since morning it's freaking me out so fucking much but that ass Connor Campbell when I told him about my pregnancy he was jumping in excitement and I was dying thinking about Rafael, how would he react listening to the news.

At the same time Connor entered the kitchen smiling like an idiot. As soon as he saw me he came running and handed over the reports to me.

Quickly I opened the reports and guess what? It's positive.

Kill me.

I looked at Connor he was looking damn happy, never have I seen him this happy till now.

And to put a cherry on top of the cake Rafael came inside the house at the same time, seeing everyone in the kitchen he made his way towards us.

Oh Sweet Jesus! How am I gonna tell him? What if he doesn't want the child? And me, I am just 24, having a child now is really a big deal.

I tried hiding the file behind me.

Rafael's eyes landed on me, he scanned my face for a moment then his brows raised asking me what's wrong. I gulped hard.

"Since everyone is here I have a good news to share." Connor said all excited picking up a bowl hitting it with a spoon while I was lost in my thoughts of how would Rafael react knowing about the baby.

"Uncle you are soon going to be a grandfather." As soon as he said that my eyes widened.

It was not how I was planning on telling, first I had to talk to Rafael about this.

"And I am going to be Uncle. Jesus Christ!" He completed.

"What!?" Dad muttered in surprise.

While Rafael stared at me blankly.

His reaction was making me more worried, I surely will burst into tears if he doesn't say anything right now.

"Jesus! Haze you are pregnant!?" Dad exclaimed. "I am going to be a grandfather now."

I smiled lightly in nervousness.

I know it's a very good news but I am nervous whether Rafael wants the child or not.

"You are pregnant?" This time it was Rafael who asked looking unsure.

I bit my lips looking down, then nodded.

Don't cry Haze.

Don't cry, you need to be strong.

"Connor you'll be having dinner with us tonight, I am making mac n cheese. I have heard a good news after so long, we are celebrating tonight."

"Yes Sir! You want help?" Connor asked Dad.

"Of course. You'll have to help me." Dad looked between Rafael and I then said "And you both go to your room and have a talk."

I nodded.

Rafael held my hand and made his way upstairs while the whole time I kept my mouth shut, I could feel tears in my eyes.

No. I won't cry.

He closed the door as soon as we reached our room and guess what I started crying more and more like a baby covering my face with my hands and hiding on his chest.

"I'm sorry."

I felt his hands around me, he was hugging me "And what exactly are you sorry for, babygirl?"

"You are mad at me."

"It was my mistake that I forgot to use protection. I should be mad at myself not you but I like it... soon we'll be having a baby."

I pulled away my eyes were still teary, he had a smile plastered on his lips and was staring straight at me.

"You are not mad?" I asked.

"Why would I be? The news is supposed to be a happy one, isn't it?"

"You want the baby?" I asked in my hoarse voice.

He chuckled "Why wouldn't I?"

I started hitting him on his arm hard, he laughed moving back he fell on the bed I got on top of him hitting him continuously crying like a mess.

He held my hand and stopped laughing "Aww, you are crying." He sat up with me on his lap, I was wiping my tears.

He scared the shit out of me when he had the serious expression like he didn't want to have the baby.

"I hate you so much. You are bad, you scared the shit out of me back there." I muttered.

He smiled, then wiped my tears cupping my face in his hands he pecked my lips "When Connor said you were pregnant, I just didn't know how to react. At that point, I was completely blank."

"I-I t-thought you don't want the baby."

"That's because you think too much these days. I would love to have lots, lots, lots and lots of babies with you."

"Lots, lots, lots and lots?" I thought for sometime gulping hard "You mean lots into four, that's a lot Rafael, I'll die."

He chuckled then changed our position, now he was on top of me "What am I gonna do with you?"

He crashed his lips against mine.

"I wanted to do this since the moment I heard you are pregnant." I wrapped my arms around his neck while he continued kissing me like there's no tomorrow. Slowly his lips moved down to my chest, placing wet kisses.

I moaned.

"If we didn't have to go down, I would have made love to you right now." He muttered tracing his lips over my jaw.

I breathed "Rafael."

"I love you so much."

"You should go and change."

He chuckled "Then you'll let me have you at night for dessert?"

I glared at him "Change. We need to go down for dinner."

He got up from top of me, for one last time pecking my lips he made his way towards the washroom.

Dad seemed really happy with the news of his son having a child and Connor too. All the time they were smiling, thinking the name of the child.

At night, I was sleeping beside Rafael and again I had that same nightmare.

"Hazel stay in here don't get out." Dad instructed me pushing me inside the cupboard.

"But Dad yo-"

"Don't say anything just be here and don't get out whoever calls you unless it's Simon."

I nodded and cowered myself sticking to the cupboard.

There was a small hole in the cupboard from where I saw the black outfit man shooting Dad.

I was so shocked that I couldn't say anything. I couldn't even cry I was so shocked.

The man shot on his right leg first then his left leg. He then shot Dad on his head.

"D-Dad." Was all I could say.

"D-Dad!" I muttered opening my eyes. Looking down I found myself sweating, my breathing was uneven, I could feel myself shaking.

"Hazel." I was still scared turning to Rafael I was about to pull away from him but he cupped my cheek "It's fine. It's fine. It's me. That was just a nightmare. You are fine, I am here with you."

My eyes stayed at him for a moment, he hugged me "It's okay, I am here don't worry. Sleep."

Hugging him tightly I laid back on the bed closing my eyes, he traced his hand on my back.

The next morning, I was in the kitchen making waffles for the breakfast. Deby has been on leave so I don't have a partner in the kitchen and the other cooks, I am not so friendly with them. On my own, I continued cooking the breakfast when I felt hands wrapping around my waist I knew who it was.

"Good morning babygirl." He whispered in my ears, placing a light kiss on my cheek.

"Morning."

"If you don't remember we need to go to the doctor for your checkup."

I turned back wrapping my arms around his neck asked "You'll be taking me or Connor?"

"Connor is not the father, I am so of course I'll be taking you."

I smiled tracing my fingers over his jaw I said "But the baby's father is busy all the time, he has been handling his business and his mafia business forgetting that he has a wife."

"You are taunting me."

I shook my head "I am letting you know the truth."

He sighed.

I pecked his lips "If you continue doing this, I'll leave then you can handle both your businesses giving each a lot of time."

"As if I am letting you leave. You are trapped with me forever Hazel Martinez."

I rolled my eyes.

"Now I'll be taking you to the doctor to know that you and the baby both are fine. After that we can do whatever you want, I'm taking the day off."

That took me by surprise "Day off?"

He nodded "You are taunting me a lot these days, so yeah day off."

I pecked his lips "You are the best."

"Hazel?"

"Hmm?"

"I need to talk to you about something important." This time he looked serious.

I nodded "About what?"

"About your nightmares. We need to get you a proper treatment and also about you being scared of noises. It's not something to take lightly."

"You don't have to really, I am fine."

"You are not, I saw you and it's not good. I thought it will get better after you know what happened that night, but it didn't."

"Okay I'll get the treatment but please not today. Today I want to spend all the time with you, go to some places, do some crazy stuffs and lastly eat a lot of spicy and unhealthy foods."

He smiled "Not unhealthy, there's a baby you need to think about too."

"Please." I made puppy eyes, pouting.

He just shook his head "Only if the doctor says it's okay."

I giggled "Okay. So today, I can have you all to myself. No company business, no mafia business."

"Nope."

"I love you so so so much."

"I think I love you more." He replied.

I thought for sometime then hugged him "I don't mind."

"You are going to be the end of me."
