Extra #3: The Kolosov Princess

February 2017

Slade Kolosov's POV

"Slade?"

I frowned and turned to the another side and was about to doze off when something poked my shoulder. "Slade?"

"What?" I grumbled tiredly and turned to Mel who was peering at me with a sheepish smile on her face.

"Could you get me some strawberries?" She asked with hopeful smile on her face. I frowned and glanced at the clock. "It's fucking three in the morning and you want strawberries?" I asked incredulously.

Mel gave me a nod and a smile on her face and I sighed. "Fine. I'll get it." I got out of bed and went down to the kitchen and peered into the refrigerator and frowned. There wasn't any.

"There isn't any here." I said tiredly and Mel shot me a hopeful and sheepish expression. "I know. That's why I asked you if you could get me some."

She wasn't serious was she? "What? Now? You want me to drive out and get fucking strawberries right now at three in the morning?" I demanded disbelievingly.

"Please?" Mel shot me a hopeful and pleading expression and I caved. "Fine. Let's go." I grumbled.

"Are you happy now?" I asked tiredly as I got back into bed with Mel beside me. "Uh huh."

I closed my eyes and got ready to fall back to sleep when Mel called out again. "Slade?"

I groaned annoyed, "What now?" I demanded frustrated. I was fucking tired as hell.

"I love you." Mel called out softly as if I was going to yell at her. Guilt pricked at my conscience and I sighed, "Sorry for yelling. I love you too. Now go to sleep. It's a long day tomorrow." I said softly and gently and turned to face her.

Mel nodded and snuggled closer to me as she lay her head on my chest. "Goodnight Slade." She murmured and her eyes closed shut. A moment later, soft snores emitted from her and I couldn't help but smile a little at that. I wrapped my arms around her and rested them on her pregnant belly where our daughter was growing.

Mel had announced to me that we were going to call her Katerina after my mother when we had gone for a checkup and the gender of the baby was revealed. I was floored when she had told me that. I had never expected that she'll call our daughter after a woman she had never met before.

But once again, Mel had surprised me and Katerina was going to make her appearance in about one to two months and I couldn't wait. I sighed and closed my eyes contentedly, with Mel by my side and our daughter's upcoming arrival, life was perfect.
