Love in the theater

Chapter 36

They were both sitting in bed beside each other, him holding her close in his arms in silence.

"I can't believe it, poor little boy" she said with tears in her eyes as she was still shocked.

"I know Darling" he hugged her closer.

"I'm scared Oliver, what if this killer has an interest for young parents, what if when I give birth we get killed" she started crying. "I don't want our child to grow up without us just like this little boy".

He knew that her hormones probably had a role in what she was saying but hearing her saying she was scared broke his heart.

"I'll never let anything happen, I will always protect the both of you and the other children we might have in the future, I promise" he kissed her forehead and put his hand on her little bump that was starting to show.

"I trust you, more than anything." she put her hand on top of his that was on her stomach.

"I love the both of you so much, I can't wait for him or her to arrive." he smiled thinking about their little baby.

"Oliver, did you hear from the jail?" she suddenly asked.

"Yeah I did, they call me for the ultrasounds but I don't want to go with her. Each time they called I asked to send me a picture of the baby" he sighed.

"You never showed me those pictures" she was surprised.

"Because I never received them, she doesn't want me to get pictures if I don't go with her" he rolled his eyes. "At least I'll get the surprise when the baby arrives".

"It makes me sad that you can't even see it, you're its dad" she said with a sad look in her eyes.

"I'll be its daddy for the rest of its life too. Don't worry about that Darling." he said with a kiss.

They suddenly heard someone unlocking the door.

"Oliver who's that?" she whispered as she looked up at him with big eyes and got even closer to him.

"Stay here I'll be back" he whispered back as he started to stand up.

"With that killer in the building? Never, you stay here" she pushed him back down.

"I'll be fine, one of us needs to go and I'm not too fond of you going" he stood back up and slowly and quietly walked outside the room.
He headed to the living room, still trying to stay quiet until he felt a hand on his shoulder.

He screamed in surprise and turned around "RICHARD?"

"Heyy Oliver, I'm so sorry I didn't mean to scare you" he said as he shook Oliver's hand.

Oliver was going to answer until he saw Loretta walking out of the bedroom with a big dictionary.
"Hey what are you doing?" he asked her as he started laughing.

"I heard you screaming, I immediately grabbed something heavy and headed out to help you" she sighed in relief seeing it was only Richard.

"So you wanted to kill someone with a dictionary?" he kept laughing.

"It's heavy! It would have at least knocked the person out" she said as she put the book down and went to say hi.

"Don't ever do that again, you almost gave me a heart attack by the way where did you get that key?" Oliver said as he turned back to him.

"I'm so sorry guys but Mary and I were pretty worried about you. We haven't heard from you since the last time we went to Loretta's apartment and with that killer in the building we were worried. Then we were with Mary's family for christmas so we didn't really have time to call. And it's an old key you gave me a long time ago. " he explained as he held it up.
