Amber's POV

I woke up and saw white walls above me. I felt my stomach hurt and I began to panic.

"Where... am I?" I asked in a very harsh and little voice.

"Amber?!! You're awake!! Call the doctor. Now!" The sound of Kris panicking just made my heart pound faster than it currently is.

I got up quickly then looked at my stomach and that was it. I lost my little angel.

My heart sank to the deepest of the ocean. Tears began to fell as realization started to kick into my mind.

"Ahhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!" I shouted.

"Kris!!! Tell me!!! No!!! My baby!!! No!!! Please!! Tell me!!! Don't!!! I don't want to..." I sank into the shoulders of my fiancé and pour out my whole sanity in him.

Kris' POV

It pains me to hear Amber's screams last week but what killed me was her ultimate silence while her tears flowed unendingly. I am also mourning about our loss. She was our little angel that brought our family together again. And, it pains me to see her mother slowly dying with her.

It's been days since I heard Amber's voice. She doesn't talk to anyone nor to herself. She would just sit on the chair facing our supposedly daughter's room quietly. I hired a nurse and a nanny to take care of her and the house while I go to work.

The wedding was off as we want to heal the scars made by the loss. The police never knew who the culprit that injected the strong drug that killed our baby was. And, who he will be, might not exist once I captured that bastard.

I hired a private investigator to find out who the murderer was and what was his intention in harming my family. He will be one dead man once I see him. He will surely experience my wrath in a very painful way.

"Dad, my teacher said mommy and you needed to attend the family day this coming Saturday." Ace tugged my t-shirt as he looked at me his worrying eyes.

I leveled myself to him and hold his hand, I smiled.

"Really? I'll talk to mommy about that, okay?But, As for me, I will surely come. I won't miss another important day for my son." I said and ruffled his brownish hair.

"Yey!!! You're the best dad!!" Ace replied.

"I sure am little man." I smiled and he ran towards his room in a naruto way.

I walked towards our room and saw Amber sleeping peacefully. I got closer and studied her face.

Flashback

"Why are you looking at me like that?" A young boyish Amber asked.

"Nothing. It's just that, your face look so innocent when you sleep." I replied.

"Pss!! Just do your part of the project so we can all go home now,okay?" She shouted and continued sleeping.

"But I want to be with you longer." I whined.

"Really Kris? If you're doing this 'slowlydoingmyproject' thing just to be with me, then I'll do this project myself." She said and grabbed the laptop from me.

"Oyy!! I'm sorry, okay?" I apologized.

"Whatever. It's not the time for you to make fun of me. If you want to do it, do it some other time." She replied.

"But I'm not kidding Ambs, I really like you as a woman." I replied.

"A woman? Kris, I dressed manlier than you and you like me as a woman?" Amber asked sarcastically.

"Why not? I don't care how you dress!! I like you in whatever clothes you wear, whatever boyish gestures you do, and everything about you!! I like everything. Okay? And even if you change, I will still like you!! I've been captured by you Amber. The barest you. I just... I love you." I blurted out my confession while holding her hands.

"You're just confused Kris. You don't love me, you just like me because we have similarities. It's not love you are feeling, it's just an infatuation." She replied and started releasing herself from my grip but before she could get away, I got up, spun her and put my lips into hers. She tensed and my heart was minutes away from exploding for both happiness and nervousness. Nervous, because this might end the bond we have. Happy, because finally, I've kissed the lips of the girl I wish to spend my entire life with.

I smiled as memories flashed in front of me. I felt the bed shift and saw Amber looking at me.

"You know, if you look at me like that, it makes me feel like I'm in the safest place in the world." She said.

A tear fell from my eye when I heard her speak and saw her smile for the first time in two weeks.

"Amber..." I said but she cut me off while she sat down.

"Don't worry, I'll stay. I'm sorry for being such a worry for the past days. It was just too sad to be true. I love her. I love her so much." She said and leaned on me. I embraced her tight enough.

"I'm sure she's an angel now. She's with God now and I can't be happier knowing our little angel is with Him." I said and brushed her hair.

"Ace... I want to see Ace." She said and got up.

She ran towards Ace's room and opened it.

"He's already asleep." I said.

"I've been a very bad mother. I'm so sorry." She said and embraced me.

"Shh... Don't cry. Ace is a bright little fella. He understands you. But if you really want to make it up for him, let's attend his school's family day together for the first time." I replied as I patted her back.

She nodded in response.

--

She fell asleep as we were sitting on our couch in our veranda. I carried her inside our room and laid her carefully in our bed. I watched her for a moment and smiled.

My wife is finally back.
