His Blossom (AMBW)

𝙷𝚎𝚛𝚎 𝚠𝚎 𝚐𝚘 𝚊𝚐𝚊𝚒𝚗....

I awoke, sweat leaving my skin damp. I placed my right hand on my cool chest. The city lights reflected on the walls, leaving enough light for me to glance at Kenji who snored lightly. I was dreaming... No, I had a nightmare. Not as graphic as they used to be, as I forgot them seconds after I awoke, but it still scared me. It established the type of fear that I felt deep within my soul. I took deep slow breaths before I felt the erupting tension in my throat. Impulsively, I got up and ran for the bathroom, releasing the fluids from my mouth into the toilet. Flushing the toilet, I slumped down, exhausted.

You're having intense mood swings and now you're throwing up. Come on Alex, put two and two together.

I threw my bonnet off, realizing the not so bad burden that I was facing. I leaned against the wall. I knew that I was pregnant. I could feel it as I felt it with Amaya. But the thing that I had to worry about was no one other than Kenji. I used my hands to cover my face as the warm tears slowly slipped down. I felt warm hands remove my hands from my face. Kenji sat on the floor next to me. Strangely, no words were said throughout the first few minutes.

"I don't know why I didn't think about this happening." He finally spoke.

"We found each other again and we got out of control." I admitted.

"How do you feel?"

"How I felt a week before I found out that I was pregnant with Amaya."

Silence.

"Well what do you want to do?" Kenji asked, turning his head over to look at me.

My throat tightened and tears clogged my eyes. "I.."

Quickly, I stood up and walked to one of the drawers, scrambling and searching for the box. Finally, I pulled it out and ripped it open. I grabbed the pregnancy stick, walked over to the toilet, and did what had to be done. Kenji carefully watched me the entire time. His expression was gentle, but still somehow unreadable. I rolled through a few squares of tissue paper, sat it on the bathroom counter, and sat the stick on top of it. Finishing up, I flushed the toilet and washed my hands.

"I might just be tripping." I said. "I didn't even take a test before this one. It might just be a false alarm, y'know?"

Kenji didn't say anything. Instead, he stood up and walked over to me. From behind, he wrapped his muscular arms over my body, grabbing both of my hands and holding them still. Up until this moment, I was unaware that I had been shaking.

"I'm not going anywhere, Alex." He assured me. "This isn't like last time. This is different. I'm going to be there for every appointment, every mood swing, every craving, everything. I will be there. I'll never leave you again. I promise you, Alex."

I sniffled. "Like pinky promise?"

I held my pink up. Kenji interlocked his pinky with mine.

"Pinky promise. I love you Alexandria."

"I love you Kenji."

I lifted up the pregnancy test and turned it over. It showed two lines.

I'm pregnant.

"Kenji, this is unnecessary." I said, staring at the three large men, including Reynolds, in his office who were hired to protect me 24/7.
