July 2013
I was sitting nervously on the toilet, waiting for the pregnancy test result. When I saw two bars, I felt nervous and happy.
I sat on the bed all day, waiting for him. My boyfriend. He was way nicer than the other men I met. He arrived and groaned after seeing the empty kitchen.
"You couldn't get your butt out of bed and make food. I'm starving." I frowned and smiled walking toward him. I hand him the pregnancy test, expecting a bright smile.
It couldn't be further from that. He had rage in his eyes. "You're pregnant?" He spat the last word. He grabbed my wrist tightly, dragging me to the door.
"What are you doing?" He didn't even look at me. "To get an abortion." I gasped and pulled my wrist away from his grip. He turned around.
"Come on. Let's go. If we don't, I'm breaking up with you." I gasped and stayed silent and numb. "What's it going to be?" I frowned and shook my head.
He got inside the apartment and shut the door. In my face. I stood at the door crying silent tears. I was pregnant and a single mother...
I woke up by the memory. I looked to my side to see Alexei looking at me. We were sleeping in the same bed lately. He grabbed my face and kissed my cheek lightly.
I got out of bed and went to the bathroom. He didn't follow. He respected my boundaries. It was impressive how I could sleep in a bed this often. After I showered and changed, I headed toward the boy's bedroom. I almost shrieked when I saw the empty beds. Then, an arm snakes around my waist.
"There at school moya lyubov' (my love)." I calmed down against his chest and sat on the bed. "Are you feeling ok? With the boys leaving for school?"
I smile sweetly at him and peck his lips. "It just feels weird. I'm scared I won't be able to protect them." He played with a strand of my hair, dropping a small kiss on my neck.
"How many more time until you can train again?" I looked into his eyes. Grey and beautiful, reminding me so much of the boys. "Two weeks." He nodded.
Today, I was planning to go train in his back, while he was in a meeting.

The meeting was earlier than expected and I got dressed quickly and ran downstairs, to the training room. When I arrived, two guards were at the entrance. I started walking past them when one took my arms and yanked my back.
"What the hell, ticălosul (asshole)?" He looked down at me. "Șeful ne-a ordonat să nu te lăsam să treci în următoarele două saptamâni (Boss has ordered us to not met you pass for the next two weeks.)."
I gasped as I remembered Alexei's question. That asshole! I started walking away and met with Inessa. She grinned at me and realized my mood. "Who got in your feathers?" I narrow my eyes at her.
"Your brother." She clicked her tongue. "I understand you. But I pity you. He is so overprotective of you it makes me feel scared." I gave her an intense stare as she ignored it.
"What did he do?"
"He posted bodyguards at the door to make sure I don't go train." There were sparkles in her eyes. She started to laugh and started to grip her stomach. "La naiba! (Fuck you)!" She stood up, studied my face.
"I know what that means!" I widened my eyes as she pounced at me. I was at the ground and I pushed her away, making us switch positions.
At the end of our small fight, we looked at each other breathless. "I guess we got enough training for today." I laughed and got off her. "Have a good day." I breathed out with a grin. She observed my face.
