*+:｡.｡ 2 ｡.｡:+*

Evening. Park Jikyo just got home from work. The young man looked into the bedroom and found Lily sleeping there. The dark-haired man smiled at her, then approached her, leaned over the sleeping wife and gently kissed her forehead. The woman didn't wake up but continued to sleep.

Man decided he was going to take a bath, it didn't take long for him to do so, and he was now back in the bedroom.

"J-jikyo...?" The woman asked sleepily. "You're back?"

"Yes, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to wake you up. " He laid down next to her and a moment later hugged her beloved to him.

"Mm, it's okay. And so it was only an hour before your arrival that I managed to fall asleep. " She replied sleepily and cuddled up to her husband.

"Nightmares again? " He asked with concern.

"Yes..." She admitted. "But that's okay, it'll be better now that you're right next to me." She closed her eyes again, cuddling up to Jikyo.

Boy kissed her on the head and fell asleep a moment later.

The next day, after having breakfast together, the couple went for a walk. They chatted quietly, enjoying each other's presence. When they reached the park, they decided to sit on a bench for a while. Next to them there was a playground where children were having fun.

"How cute. " Jikyo said. He was very fond of children, and in the future he would like to have a child with his beloved Liliana.

"I know what you're about to say. " Lily said before her husband could start the subject.

"We haven't talked about it in a long time. " The man looked at her.

"Jikyo..."

"It's just talk for now. " He said and took her hand. "I love you, Lily. And I want to start a family with you, a happy family. When we had a child, we would give everything we couldn't get ourselves. You'd be a great mom... "

"No, I wouldn't. " The woman interrupted him and then sighed heavily. "I know you want to have children, but... I... I'm not ready yet. I know you gave me time after everything that happened. You've always been understanding and cared for me... But I... " Their further conversation was interrupted by a ball flying towards them. A little boy ran out of the playground to get his toy, which Jikyo now grabbed.

"There you go, young man. " Said and with a smile passed him the ball and then ruffled his head.

"Thank you, sir. "Boy replied and returned to his friends.

"Jikyo..."

"I know. " He replied without looking at his wife. "I'm going to go get us some coffee." Added and headed towards the nearby booth with hot drinks.

Lily shook her head and ran a hand through her hair. She cursed herself. The woman didn't want to hurt her husband. She knew how much he cared about the child, but she couldn't find the courage for herself. Not only was she afraid that she might be a bad parent, but the events of her past were still on her mind.

"Lily? " The voice said.

It was Sally Morgan, her friend from work.

"Hi, Sally. " The woman replied with a faint smile. Her friend now had three children.

"Where did you lose your husband? " She asked and Wilkinson pointed to where Jikyo was. "I sense a strange atmosphere. Don't tell me you had a fight?! " She was surprised. "You two never argue."

"It wasn't an argument..." Worried woman replied. "Just... Ah, never mind. " She sighed.

"Do you want to talk? "Her friend asked with concern.
