Dayu's POV

As I rouse from a heavy slumber I was first aware of the soft sheets under me, the warmess radiated from the top of my hand and the sandalwood scent that I missed so much. Was I dreaming? Slowly, I opened my eyes. Streaks of sunlight penetrated the window and blinded me. I blinked and closed my eyes again, trying to adjust them from the brightness. I could see the warm orange light on my eyelids before I tried to open them again slowly.

The lamp hanging on the ceiling, the wall painted with soft violet color; I didn't recognize this room, but it was full with Qing's scent. I turned my head to my left side and I saw the only man that love rested his head on the bed while his hand was holding mine tightly.

My eyes swelled and turned hot. I wasn't able to speak, unable to breath. The bright room became a blur of color. There was weight in my chest and locks in my throat. Relive, the guilt, the pain in the back of my mind came forward. Was I still alive? Peanut was safe? I almost killed peanut!

I closed my eyes again to let the crystal beads trailing down from the corner of my eyes to my ears, and my hair. Only to melt into the cloth of the pillow under my head. Then suddenly I felt a loving touch brushed against my cheek and I heard the voice that I missed too much,

"I'm so proud of you. You did the best for everybody, you couldn't have done better. And you are safe now baby, you and our peanut."

A steady stream of salty tears rolled down harder, the silent cry turned into a heart wrenching wail. "I'm sorry... I'm sorry..."

"Shhh..." Qing didn't say anything as he climbed up the bed and laid down beside me, pulling me gently to his chest. He kept comforting me without a word as I still muttering 'I'm sorry' over and over.

When my wail turned into a sob, I looked up to him and said "I felt like I was betraying you. You have to know that everything was just an act. I had to kiss Vladislav so that he believed me that I had lost my memory and I was his mate. I'm so sorry Qing." My voice croaked and it hurt my throat to talk that much, but Qing had to know everything.

"Shh... I know baby, I know. It was all in the past, don't worry about that anymore." Qing said to me softly and leaned his face closer. Our lips were about to touch when my stomach growled loudly, ruining the mood. I sighed loudly. Good job peanut! Of course you just had to acting up as soon as your dads got in the mood!

Qing chuckled and rubbed my bump that already grew a bit bigger than the last time. Peanut grew that fast?

"You and peanut must be hungry. You only got your needed nutrition and hydration through the IV for a week."

"A week? I was out for a week?" No wonder my throat hurt badly. And only then I noticed the small and flexible tube stuck in the back of my hand.

Qing then called Dr. Chris to come and it took off from me. After I was being lectured about what to eat and whatnot, finally Dr. Chris went back to the clinic and Qing led me downstairs to the kitchen.

"Qing, where are we actually? I mean, I know we are in the pack house land because Dr. Chris came only in like five minutes after you told him to, but whose house is this?" I never saw this house before. It was a little bigger than my apartment and had a 'homey' feeling. I liked it here.

"You're right baby, we are in the pack house land. And this house is ours." He answered calmly while warming up some soup for me.

"Ours?"

"Yup" He popped the p at the end and continued, "This was actually a surprise that I wanted to give you the day you got kidnapped." The last words turned to a whisper. I came closer to him and hugged him without saying anything. I didn't know what to say. I knew it was all in the past, but all the things were still fresh in my mind.
