Dominic wanted to hug the little sprout tighter when he felt him shiver from the cold, but thinking of the wound on his shoulder he can only rub his back and other shoulder to give him some warmth. "Why did you follow me outside? You're not done eating."
"You really think I can swallow my food after that argument?" Elliam whispered solemnly towards his husband. He rested his head on Dominic's chest and closed his eyes, enjoying the way his big body shields his smaller one from the gust of wind that's getting stronger.
"I'm sorry you had to witness that. I'll make her go back later so you'll be fine." Dominic replied still in the state of mind that her mother can hurt anyone dear to him. He rested his face on Elliam's hair and exhaled deep to calm him down.
Elliam clenched his husband clothes from the back. Never in his life did he expect to see his husband's vulnerable side. Elliam used to think that Dominic's the toughest person ever existed. That wasn't true at all, because even the strongest person has a breaking point too.
"Are you okay?" He asked.
"Hmm...I love you, Ellie." Dominic can't think of anything else to say to Elliam. Elliam looked up to his husband. Dominic's eyes are closed with a grimaced expression on his handsome face. Seeing him like this makes Elliam feel very worried. He lifted up his unharmed arm to reach for Dominic's twisted face. Elliam's hand is smaller than Dominic's face, but this small hand is enough to make him feel warm.
"I love more, Dom. No words can describe how much I love you." Elliam grinned at his husband, hoping to help him cheer up again. Dominic reaches out to grab the hand on his cheek and grasp them together.
He gave Elliam's hand a kiss and replied to his cheesy confession with a tease, "Do you really love me?" Dominic asked sounding like he was doubting his wife's feelings. He felt shit before but now that his beloved wife's in his arms, he's feeling better.
Elliam took the bait, his face was now etched with a troubled expression while looking up to his husband's eyes. "I do!!...Why are you asking me that??" He sulked in a small voice.
"Really? Then, do you love me more than your puppy?" Dominic didn't let this opportunity slide, he needs an answer for this question immediately.
Elliam heard him but, it took him seconds before answering. "...Well, Milo is like a son so my love for him is like...parental love?" Elliam said with uncertainty.
Dominic smirked. Having these silly conversations with Elliam is really one of the best ways to make him feel better. "But you're pregnant, Does that mean Milo's an older brother to our baby inside your belly?"
"Haha, that sounds great. I want them to be companions in life. Our baby will have a best friend when they come out." Elliam smiled. Another gust of wind made Elliam shudder and clings closer into Dominic's body.
Since they were hugging the whole time, Dominic can feel the sprout's cool body. Worried, he finally asked if he wanted to go back.
Elliam thought that Dominic meant the rest house since with what happened just a while ago, he's not sure if his husband wanted to go back while his mother's still inside.
"No, Dominic. We can't drive with this weather." Elliam said with a worried face.
"Don't worry. I won't risk your safety over that woman. She just needs to hide from me or else I'll throw her out and make her go home on her own...I'll ask Martha to prepare a room for us to stay for the night." Dominic replied. He finally released Elliam from his hug and dragged him along towards their car to grab some necessities.
" Do you think there's a storm coming?" Elliam asked out of nowhere. The wind was stronger than before.
"Maybe, I didn't receive any news of a storm coming. Let's go." Dominic's arms were full of random things like pajamas and a few pairs of clothes, toothbrushes, a laptop, and medicine kit for Elliam's wound. He didn't let Elliam carry a single one and just made sure that the little guy was following behind him.
"When did you prepare those things?" Elliam asked in curiosity.
"Just in case, I always have this clothes and medicine kit in my car."
Elliam didn't pry anymore. The clothes in Dominic's arms are colorful and made of soft and comfortable fabric. Definitely Elliam's choice and taste when it comes to his clothes, while Dominic prefers darker colors.
Elliam opened the door of Martha's home once again and went inside and kept the door open for his husband.
Martha, who was walking around the living room saw the couple and immediately helped Dominic carry the things in his arms. "Young Master, I was about to invite you inside because of the weather. I already prepared a room for you two, you go inside and have a rest." Martha said respectfully. She was waiting in the living room because she doesn't have the courage to face the young Martinez, or invite them to get inside her house.
"What about her?" Dominic asked. He reached out to rest his hand behind Elliam's small back and slightly pushed him to go upstairs towards the room prepared for them.
Martha was walking in front to lead the way, "With the weather like this, I begged her to stay for the night. She told me that she'll leave once the weather calms down...Young Master, please be more kind to your mother."
"Whether I treat her kindly or not doesn't concern you." Dominic rudely replied. Elliam bulges his eyes to Dominic behind him, telling him to speak more carefully and think of the right words to utter.
Dominic acted like he couldn't feel the sprout's heated eyes and continue talking with Martha. "Did she call her husband?" He asked.
"She didn't, But she's been checking her phone from time to time and looks like she's waiting for a call."
Dominic didn't said anything so Elliam raised his hand to ask a question. Martha saw him doing this and chuckled, "Yes, sir?"
"What about the animals in your farm? Where will they take shelter from the rain?" He asked like a little kid.
"My husband is taking care of this matter, and the horses will be fine too." Martha replied with a smile. She knows that the beautiful boy was more concerned for the horses than the other animals in their farm.
"Oh, thank goodness." Elliam was relieved when he heard it.
Moments later, they arrived at the room Martha prepared. She opened the door and walk inside to put the clothes on the newly changed bed sheets on the bed. Since Dominic told her that he doesn't need anything else, she left the room after saying goodnight.
"Hon, take of your clothes so I can change the dressing on your wound." Dominic said while preparing the medicine kit he was carrying.
"Okay." Elliam only has one arm that he can move without flinching, he was struggling to take his upper clothes off so he called Dominic. "...I can't take it off."
Dominic chuckled after seeing Elliam with his shirt stuck on his head. But Dominic stopped chuckling after seeing his wife's thin, white and smooth upper body. His belly's still flat and the fact that there's a life inside that flat belly is still not sinking inside Dominic's head, it feels like a dream until now.
Dominic strode towards Elliam. Instead of helping him take the shirt of, he went to touch his body. The moment Dominic's calloused and big hands made contact with his skin gives Elliam goosebumps all over his body. He yelped and immediately step back to avoid Dominic's naughty hands.
