~~Nicoli's P.O.V ~~

I groan, feeling my body ache with pain. "Hey, handsome." Her sweet voice whispers, sending my eyes peeling open "mmm why are you out of bed?" I grumble, looking up at her freshly showered body wrapped in a towel with a fresh bandage on her arm. "I had a little morning sickness, so I decided to just take a shower after." Her eyes flash, micheif."Whatever you're thinking about, forget it." I say, putting my hands behind my head, eyeing her with suspicion."I don't know what you're talking about handsome." Her voice spreading amusement through the air before letting her towl fall pooling around her feet."I have to get some clothes on." She murmurs walking towards the closet giving me a good look at her perfect bare body "neonata please" I plead feeling my morning wood twitch with excitement "I know, I know but I figured I'd give you a show." She says, coming out with jeans and one of my black t shirts falling around her body. "I also have to go see Dr. Oden." She murmurs, pulling her hair up into a high pony tail. "Lina, you don't have to do this." The words are out of my mouth before I can stop them.

She sighs walking over and taking a seat at the edge of the bed "I love you Nicoli and I love this baby-" I cut her off "then please reconsider especially with your dad out of the picture I mean isn't that what we needed?" I say doing my best to sit up. "Nicoli, there's more than just my father.. I don't want our baby to get hurt! I didn't expect things to happen like they did that night, and you could've been seriously hurt! You think I want to see my baby like that?!" She yells with a pleading look in her eyes, I grab her hand lightly pulling her up to my good side placing my arm around her placing a kiss against her hair "I know baby, I understand belive me" my gaze falls on her bandaged arm filling me with a guilty pit in my stomach. "It was all my fault, I went to Ivan because I had gotten a message that he spotted your father, but when we all showed up, your father was the one who spotted us first." I sigh running my fingers through her hair "I gave Ivan until friday to find him but I think your father's plan was to get us away from the house while his men came to get you."

A small chuckle escaped me at the thought of his angry expression when he saw her fighting back. "He was pissed when he realized that you were one of the ones causing such a camotion with his men." She begins to giggle slowly, lifting her gaze to meet mine."Why didn't you tell me what you were doing?" Her words carrying hurt with them."I wanted to set you free neonata, I wanted you to be free so we could have this baby... so we could be happy." She sighs, wiping a stray tear away from her eye with a small smile."I... I talked to my father for a moment before I killed him.. The French are the ones who told him where I was exactly, and apparently, they were just trying to get to you, but he had his own deals with them." I feel my anger boil, and suddenly my hurting body feels like nothing compared to the thought of the French taking her too."I guess it's time to pay them a visit." I snarl sliding out from under her and up out of bed. "NICO!" She shouts, grabbing my hand, but the coldness rushing through me is too much.

I snatch my hand away, taking a deep breath. "I'm sorry," I grumble, watching her slide out of bed and walking over to me, halting once we are almost chest to chest. "Do you love me, Nicoli?" She whispers, wrapping her arms around my neck."You know I do." I say, placing my hands on her hips."Then don't try to do things on your own, I'm your right hand now." Her words fill me with an electric buzz."I just want to protect you and make you happy." Her hand runs down my chest and over my bandages."Nicoli, I can take care of myself. I'm not helpless, and I won't tolerate you keeping things from me, especially if.." I raise a curious eyebrow at her "if?" Her smile begins to return full force "if the pregnancy sticks." I can't hold myself back. My arms are around her waist, pulling her towards my body, lifting her slightly and spinning her, not bothering to focus on the pain shooting through my side.
