"What do you want for dinner?" I asked Mason at 6 and he thought for a moment.

"Stir fry?" He said and I agreed and I started preparing the food. At 7 Mason was setting the table and I was making our bowls of food when the door opened. Titus walked in and he had his hood up.

"Dad!!!!!" Mason said and he hugged Titus and I noticed he winced. Titus hugged him back and then walked into the room. I gave Mason his food, and he sat down and started to eat.

"I will be right back," I said, kissing Mason's hair. I walked into the bedroom and Titus was taking off his sweatshirt slowly.

"Are you okay?" I asked, and Titus turned around and his face had three bruises on it, one on his eye, the other on his cheek, and one near his lip which was bleeding. As he took off his sweatshirt his chest had bruises as well.

"Titus," I said quietly as I took in his injuries. I could tell he was in pain and he sat down on the bed.

"Four guys jumped me outside of the gym when I was leaving," He said, and I could tell he was frustrated.

"We need to postpone the fight," I said, with wide eyes and he looked at me and let out a bitter laugh.

"You can't postpone fights, Jason is a fucking coward," Titus said, running his hands through his hair. I could see his composure breaking and I was afraid he was about to snap. I kneeled down on the ground in front of him and I took his hands in mine and looked up at him.

"Don't let him get in your head, you are an amazing fighter and he knows the only way he can win is if he breaks you. Don't let him do it," I said as he looked at me, his one eye starting to swell.

"I love you," He said and he kissed me.

The next day when Titus woke up he looked worse but his mood seemed a lot better. He kissed me before he left to go and practice and he took Mason to Marie's house and she would be watching him until tomorrow.

I tried to work for a little but I was a nervous wreck and I couldn't focus at all. I decided to cook some breakfast for Titus because he would be returning in a few minutes. I cooked the bacon first, and as I snacked on it I started the eggs.

"Hey baby," Titus said as he walked into the apartment. He came over and kissed me as I poured the eggs onto the pan.

"Hi, how are you doing?" I asked him, and he went to the fridge to get some ice packs for his face.

"I am a bit sore," He said honestly, and he leaned against the counter as he watched me cook. As the eggs started to cook fully I got a whiff of them and I was instantly nauseous. I tried to work through it, and I finally felt puke about to come up and I sprinted to the bathroom, and Titus followed.

He grabbed my hair just in time for me to vomit into the toilet. I was violently sick for a few seconds until I had nothing left to throw up. I wiped my mouth with toilet paper and Titus sat down behind me and pulled me into his chest.

"And morning sickness strikes," He said and I laughed slightly.

"No more eggs for a while," I said, slightly gagging at the thought of them. Titus kissed my neck and I stood up and brushed my teeth. I turned around and he was looking at me with a worried glance.

"If I don't win tonight, things won't change between us?" He said in a quiet voice and I looked up at him shocked. He seemed so unsure of himself and I realized how insecure he was feeling at this moment.

"If you lost every single match you have ever been in I would still love you the same," I promised and he leaned down and kissed me.

"Marry me," he said and I looked up at him with a questioning smile.

"What?" I said I wanted to make sure I heard him correctly.

"I don't have a ring right now but I want you to marry me," he said and I smiled at him so widely I felt like my cheeks would fall off.

"Okay," I said and he smiled and lifted me up as he kissed me so softly as if cherishing this moment forever.

"I love you," he said as we pulled away.

"I love you too," I said, with our foreheads touching.

"Now go eat your breakfast so you can come back to bed and relax before we have to go," I said to him, cupping his face before pulling him into a quick kiss.

I laid in bed and I waited for him to finish eating. He brushed his teeth and told me that he got the egg smell out of the kitchen for me and I thanked him. We cuddled for a few hours just enjoying the moments of quiet before the storm which was about to come.

We took a shower together, and I changed in black jeans and an orange sweater while he did his ritual of 50 pushups before a match. He asked me to go early with him so I finished getting ready and we left by 8.

We got to the locker room and Coach greeted us as we both got there. Ryan was there and he pulled me into a hug and patted Titus on the back. I watched as Titus warmed up and when he went to get changed Ryan and I went out to the crowd where Dante and Kate were waiting.

"Quinn!!" Kate said, pulling me into a hug and I hugged her and then Dante.

"I am so nervous for you," Kate said to me as we sat down, me on the aisle, her next to me, then Dante, and finally Ryan.

"I am a wreck, someone beat up Titus last night so he isn't in the best shape," I said and Kate's eyes widened.

"It was Jason's men?" She asked and I nodded my head.

"It was pretty brutal," I said and Kate swore and the lights flickered.

"Welcome everyone to the biggest event to end this year!" The announcer said and the crowd went absolutely bonkers.

"We have two champions tonight and we are so pleased to have them both joining us. First is standing at 6'5 and weighing in at 215 our hometown Jason Morales," The announcer said and Jason came out in red shorts, red hand wraps, and a red robe. He smiled at the crowd and even gave out kisses and they went nuts for him.

"Finally standing at 6'5 as well and weighing 210lbs please welcome Titus King," The announcer said and the crowd went crazy again. He walked by us and he sent me a wink and I cheered loudly for him. He climbed up onto the ring and the crowd went silent as they saw Titus's injuries and the two stared each other down.

My hand went for Kate's who was already reaching out for me. The announcers started the match and they got their hands up. Neither of them wanted to start the attack and they were at a standstill. Finally, Titus threw a punch hitting Jason in the side and the crowd started cheering.

Jason followed up with two punches which were blocked by Titus. Titus tried to retaliate and they were blocked as well. Finally, Jason threw a punch and it hit Titus's already injured eye causing him to stagger. I squeezed Kate's hand in panic.

Jason let out a smirk and Titus used him letting his guard down to throw a punch to the nose and then another to the rib which let out a loud crack. Jason staggered and let out a gasp as he dealt with his probably broken rib.

Jason stood up and got Titus in the face and Titus returned a jap to the eye. Jason was now bleeding from his nose and his eye, and Titus from his eye. Titus got hit right on the mouth which reopened his cut and he fell to his knees. Jason then sent a punch to his face and Titus fell to his arms knocked off balance.

"Get up Titus!!" I screamed, worried that it was too much for him. Jason went to send a punch to Titus again and Titus uppercut him and Jason went down and the audience went quiet in shock. We all waited for Jason to get up and when he didn't everyone went crazy.

I jumped up and hugged Kate who pushed me to go see Titus. I pushed through the crowd and Titus jumped out of the ring and he instantly ran over and hugged me. I cried in his arms and I could feel that I was practically holding him up.

"You were so amazing, I love you so much," I said. Ignoring the sweat and blood which was being hugged onto me. He kissed my head and I could hear him saying how much he loved me. I could feel him starting to lose strength and I looked over at Ryan for help.

Dante and Ryan grabbed both of his arms and Kate ran next to me as we went to the locker room. They laid Titus on the bench as he let out a groan as a medic started working on his injuries. The amount of blood made me queasy and I grabbed Kate's arm and she looked at me worried.

"Sit down Quinn, you look pale," She said to me, and she helped me slide down the lockers. Ryan walked over to me worried.

"I need a bucket," I said, knowing I was about to vomit. Ryan grabbed the garbage and I threw up as Kate held my hair and rubbed my back. As I finished puking Ryan walked over with a water bottle. I pushed up my sleeves feeling hot from the nausea.

"Quinn are you okay," I heard Titus say, his voice sounding deeper as he groaned in pain. I looked over and saw he was sitting up and he had blood dripping down his face and I puked again. I was humiliated as Dante joined Ryan and Kate because they thought something was wrong with me.

"I am sorry," I started crying, feeling like I was taking away from Titus who needed to be helped.

"Don't cry Q, it's okay," Kate said, hugging me, as I sat there with my face in a trash can full of vomit. I then started crying because she was being so sweet.

"Fuck," I heard Titus say and I could hear him trying to get up.

"Titus if I see your bloody face I am going to vomit again," I warned him, as I pushed tears out of my face. Refusing to look up at him.

"Somebody hug her," Titus said, sounding frustrated that he couldn't help me. Kate pulled me into her arms and so did Ryan and I cried happily that I had so many friends.

"I am sorry, I am just pregnant and emotional," I said, wiping my tears again. Kate looked up at me with a smile on her face and Ryan looked over at Titus also in shock with a smile on his face.

"Are you serious?" Kate said and I realized I let the cat out of the bag. I covered my mouth and I looked up at Kate, Ryan, and Dante who were apprehensively waiting for my answer.

"Yeah, we just found out," I said and they hugged me and Ryan and Dante ran over to hug Titus.

"Dude you are having another kid!" Ryan said and I could hear Titus laugh as he shared his excitement.

"I can't wait to be an aunt to your baby and spoil it," Kate said, hugging me tightly and I was so grateful for her.

"Thank you for everything," I said and she hugged me tighter.

"You are my best friend of course," She said and she looked over at Titus.

"Hurt her and I will hurt you, I have been practicing my boxing moves," She warned, and then she looked at me.

"It is all clear," She said and I looked up and Titus had no more blood on his face. His cuts had been glued together and he had an ice pack over his one eye.

"Now can I get that hug?" He asked and I ran over and I gently hugged him. He held me tightly and then looked at my hair and arms.

"You may want to wash your hair and change your shirt," He said, and I looked down and saw blood on my sweater.

"Bucket," I said and Ryan handed it to me as I vomited.

We all went over to the apartment to celebrate Titus's win and we sat together and chatted while Titus relaxed on the couch with three ice packs on him. Dante told us he had a fight scheduled for January, and Ryan had one in February. Titus said he didn't have one until April and was taking some time to recover.
