This is going to be amazingly short compared to other chapters.

Chapter 20

~~A Year Later~~

I've been sick a lot lately I thought it was the stress of returning to my job, even after a year and the fact Nik still doesn't speak I know he's implying I shouldn't work especially since he likes enjoying our marriage...in bed.

I swear that boy would barely look at me, and now I'm the only thing he sees. Shania and Priya are still my best friends even though they moved to Auckland in another part of this country to study in hopes of having an amazing career they still call me every night. But their parents said they'd be back in another three years.

Chris is an alcoholic, I call him over sometimes...when Nik is home of course, and I do my best to sober him up, he might not be the greatest person, but I still knew him and he can be a good person; with a little help of course. And I believe he has met someone, and is trying his absolute best to stay sober and faithful. Chelsea, well Chelsea is still the attention-seeking whore we left at school. And my mother, she met farmer D in a visit and now she's living with him, and is currently making their way towards marriage since she has to explain all her scars and fears. Michael was found on a street corner brutally murdered, nobody found the culprit and said their tracks were covered thoroughly but apparently he had been seeking me out, which had terrified me. But enough, he's dead. Me and Nik are living our dreams, he still waits for me from the time I walk out the door till I step through the door from work as a fully endorsed mechanic and just...loves me, he just loves me whole heartedly. I'm content and nothing has ruined it.

Today is our anniversary of our: I love you exchange and somehow I think things have turned out better that I initially thought since I'm currently sitting on the toilet with a bright red stick in my hand. But before that could be helped a wave of nausea forces me to turn and puke up this morning breakfast.

After we graduated I stopped taking the pill and I think I'm ready, I knew we hadn't been trying at first but I knew Nik was, he wanted a child badly; because every time we try he gets this determined face.

He still goes out every weekend and just as long as he doesn't cheat on me we're fine, I use that time to see my mother racking leaves or something

I knew by the sound of a motorcycle pulling up that Nik was home and I was just so over excited with the news.

"Nik!" I screeched then he entered the house at a dead sprint.

He froze and took me with his crisp yellow eyes in as I hunched over the toilet bowl crying my eyes out.

He approached me slowly as he bent down and kneeled before me, I look down at him, and the man of my dreams the only one I thought I couldn't love more than anything, and now he has given me the best gift a happy married woman could ever want.

"Nik, I'm pregnant, we're going to be parents," I whispered with a giant grin on my face what I saw wasn't what I expected...

His expression made me freeze, he wasn't happy but he wasn't angry either, he seemed distant as he looked away.

"Nik?" I reached a hand out to touch his face. He looked up at me his beautiful yellow eyes looming into mine with love and tenderness; I think it was a reaction out of shock, because I thought he wanted a child as much as I did. Slowly his hand came up; he placed it against my stomach as if he were trying to feel the already growing life.

Slowly and subtly he brought me into his arms as he held me close and kissed me, I began to get a little breathless, so I pulled back and laid my head over his chest listening to his steady heartbeat.

Slowly he lowers me onto our bed resuming to my lips as he kisses the living lights out of me, slowly he strips my shirt back as he begins to kiss my stomach thoroughly, I almost howled in joy, I'm moving forward, rather than dwelling on the past, I'm making love to my husband.

Wiggling beneath his ministrations I moan wistfully, when I feel his lips leave my skin I feel the waist band of my jeans being lowered, I almost die of desire when I feel him slowly kiss up and down my thighs, I don't know what the heck had made him attracted to me but I hope it never ends.

Throwing my hair out of its ponytail I hear a wary moan from my assailant and moved to see him staring at me with not just lust, with hope.

Bringing myself up I kiss him full heartedly as I guide him down and over me, bringing his shirt over his head I peel his shorts back as well. Tasting his mouth I can't get enough of how good he feels, his heat, so good!

"Nik," I moaned as he tangled his hand in my hair pulling me on top of his body, he brings his hand to my stomach massaging the tender limb.

Slowly breaking away Nik didn't need to speak because his expression told me everything, that he loves me more than anything.

"I love you too," those were the last words I said because afterwards my remarks were less than appropriate.

~Skipping all those ravishing details~

Bringing me back to the world, Nik sat between my legs keeping us connected as he brushed his lips against mine again. I sigh happily leaning back so I could put off some strain. Nik lowered himself back to my body pulling out as he kissed over my chest to my neck; I love his tongue as it collides with my collarbone nibbling on all the parts that make me hot for him.

"Nik," I sigh breathlessly.

He doesn't stop instead he kisses up my jaw, over my cheeks to my eyelids and lastly my lips while his hand hovered over my stomach.

When we pulled apart I almost died of content no matter how much desire I had felt before it doesn't beat my love for him.

"I love you," I curl up against his chest, Nik lies on top of me keeping his mass off my mid-section, I love the pressure of his weight, it reminds me that he is here with me. The slightest touch of his lips leave and I can feel a form of liquid on my neck, looking down I can see Nik crying on me.

My eyes turn glassy, to see the strongest man I know crying, I didn't know how to comfort him, why is he upset? Is it because I did something wrong, or could it be the baby?

Oh no...

I should just ask him, "Nik?" I whisper, "If you're not ready I'm fine with it, I love this baby but if you're not ready I guess we can go see a GP about an abortion," I hated to say the words but if he's not ready I would do anything to make him happy.

I heard an audible growl as he tenses above me, I turn my head to see him angrier than ever before crushing my lips with his urging: that is so not what he was thinking when it came to our child.

I look up at his handsome face as he rejoices in having a child, "Okay I'm sorry, I just didn't know why you were crying," I whispered, as I lay down again I felt a tiredness overwhelm me.

And before I had fallen completely asleep I felt the smallest pressure on my neck and the most beautiful of all words spoken against my ear.

"I love you so much Quinn and now I love our child, and for that, please forgive me." then I was gone.

So I would like a little Q&E thing for the reader (you) to think about since the story is about to get interesting.

1. Where does Nik go on the weekends?

2. Why doesn't he talk?

3. Why was the first appearance of him in this book of him drowning?

4. Where is Nik from if he wasn't in the bay three years ago?

5. Nik gave Quinn his sister's necklace, who and where is she? If so does he have other family?

6. And the key that was also by that necklace, what does it do, or what does it unlock?

7. It is also said that Michael (Mallory's abusive boyfriend) was brutally murdered, who killed him?
