Sanele sat in his office drinking his whiskey and lost in thought as he looked up sitting in his spinning chair. He had his tie hanging loosely on his neck, his shirt sleeves unbuttoned and rolled up. He was tired, and also stressing about the business. It was kinda hard not to worry when you ran a whole Mafia 24/7 365. He had to keep a devil's posture to the outside world.

Mbali walked inside the office and sat on his lap, snuggling closer to the crook of his neck. Sanele wrapped his arms around her body and rubbing her stomach soothingly.

Mbali: You tense.

Sanele: Just work.

Mbali: Wanna talk about it.

Sanele: What I want is to enjoy this moment with my beautiful baby mama.

Mbali laughed, that's all it took for him to relax and forget all about his work problems. He didn't have to put up a devil's posture at home. With her, he felt more like himself, she was his sanity.

Sanele: Tomorrow's the Dr's appointment right?

Mbali: You remember?

Sanele: Yeah nothing big, it's not like I put a reminder or something.

Mbali: Right, you so cool you know that.

Sanele: That's my middle name baby.

Mbali: But I like Tyler better, or is that a thing of the past.

Sanele: We move sthandwa.

Mbali: Oh, okay keeping up then.

He chuckled and kissed her forehead. She snuggled closer and closed her eyes. She took a deep breath and sighed heavily.

Sanele: They'll find out soon enough.

Mbali: I know, I just don't want to see the disappointment in their eyes.

Sanele: Once they see the Sanelizer, bazo kitizela. (They'll halulate)

She laughed a little. Sniffing back her tears.

Mbali: Cima cima cima! (Rest)

Sanele: I'll be there with you, all the way. I love you.

Mbali: I'm sorry.

She pulled away and looked at him.

Mbali: Sthandwa sam I'm not ashamed of you, hell I'm proud to be knocked up by you. I'm sorry I hadn't told my parents sooner I will-

Sanele: I don't care, whether they know when this little one is no longer little anymore or now, I'm with you, not with your parents. And I will wait until you ready okay?

Mbali: Okay.

Sanele: Okay, I love you.

Mbali: Okay I love you too.

She leaned in to kiss him and he cupped her cheek and kissed her with so much love. She smiled against his lips.

Mbali: God I love you too.

Snake: It tears me up when I see those scars and I can't do anything to heal them.

Lisa: Do you know the best thing about them?

Snakes. There's a best thing about them?

Lisa: They led me to you, they found my love. Mndeni, these scars are the definition of my struggle, yes, but I wouldn't have met you if I didn't have those struggles. As much as I hate them, I couldn't love them more. They led me to you.

Snakes just looked at her astounded by her words. She leaned her back on the headboard. While Snakes sat beside her on the bed, facing her direction.

He took her hands and kissed every knuckle on them. He looked up at her and moved closer to place a kiss on her forehead, her nose, her cheeks, and her lips. She took all of him in as she closed her eyes and kissed him back. He asked for entrance and she granted it by moaning as he slid his tongue in her mouth. He explored her mouth, sucked, and kissed her, claiming what's his. He pulled away and looked at her kissed lips and closed eyes. He pecked her lips once more, a little longer before pulling away.

Snakes: You should get some rest.

Lisa: Stay with me.

Snakes: Anything for you my love.

He took off his joggers and left his Calvin Klein on and taking his sweatshirt off. Lisa couldn't help but gawk at his perfect toned body. His defined abs and his deep v-line with his hard-looking legs and broad shoulders.

Snakes: I'm all yours baby.

Lisa: Just come here.

Snakes: Demanding, I like!

Lisa: Oh my gosh shut up.

Snakes laughed and slid in the cover behind Lisa and pulled her closer to his body, nuzzling his nose on the back of her neck.

Snakes: I'll be here when you wake up.

Lisa: I know

She whispered back.
