Anton's P.O.V

"I'm pregnant." Her words echoed inside my mind.

My jaw dropped.

I embraced her with all of my love as she cries on my chest.

I wasn't mad, I was shocked.

Some time later, I can feel myself tear up too. But I wiped the tears off my eyes immediately.

I can hear her sobbing, it breaks my heart to see her cry. This happens all the time.

Every time she cries, a little part inside me dies.

I stepped back and put both of my hands on her shoulders.

She looked down, not wanting me to see her face.

"L-Louisa...." I was shivering.

"D-Don't cry, i'm here, i'll protect you....i-it's going to be okay."

"Anton?" She inhaled.

"Are y-you crying? Are you m-mad?"

"W-What?" I chuckled. "I'm not crying and no, i-i'm not mad."

"Then, why is your voice like that?"

"I'm shivering, Louisa." I smiled at her.

I saw another tear roll down from her eyes.

"Now..." I moved closer to her.

"Please tell me why are you crying." I put on my serious face.

"I-I'm afrai-d-d, Anton." She put on the hood of her jacket.

I raised a brow, "W-What do you mean?"

She sniffed, "I'm afraid that the child might die again, Anton. You know what happened to me in the past, right?"

Her last pregnancy, I don't want to talk about it.

"Hey......do you want to uhh......" I ask her as she looks down at her stomach.

"Do you want to get out of here?"

I didn't get any response from her except a nod.

We went backstage and entered a little room, here it's safe. She got in first and I went after her. I closed the door and locked it, we need some privacy. She sat on the small couch, I follow. I put my arm around her shoulder as she tilts her head to the left side, leaning on my right shoulder.

I heard her hum, then she started to sing.

"Won't you stay, please don't go.

If you leave me now,

If you leave me now."

"I won't." I told her with concern, her tears streaming down her cheek.

She didn't say anything, this went on for a few minutes. That's when I realized she's asleep.

I sighed and carried her carefully. As we get out of the room, everyone's eyes fell on us.

"Uhhhhh....." My jaw dropped. "S-She fell asleep, everything's fine." I just smiled at all of them.

"You coming back to the hotel, bro?" Arkadi had his hands in his pockets.

I answered him with a nod.
