Yaya listens to the calm steady beating of Nadech's heart as she lays her head on his chest. She finds the comfort she craves as his fingers continue to comb through her slightly disheveled hair.

From time to time she feels a shiver crawl across her spine as the cool gush of air hits her bare skin, their bodies only covered by the white fairly thick blanket.

They've been entwined like this for a while now. Their once heavy ragged breathing now replaced with their calm exchange of breaths, a result of their resolution.

Regardless of how long, she finds comfort being pressed against him, skin to skin, trapped in his tight embrace. It was the same for Nadech, having her in his arms would never feel like it's been too long.

A long sigh coming out of Nadech's lips, Yaya finally feels that this was finally the moment she's been waiting for. She didn't want to pry, but she made sure he knew she was going to be there no matter what.

Arriving from the Austria trip with his family, he immediately made his way to her, stripping her off of her clothes the minute she opened the door for him.

She knew what had transpired at one point in the trip, and it took a huge toll on him. Not fully knowing what he's been through and what he's feeling, one thing she's sure about was that he needed her. And to be honestly speaking, she craved for him as well, being away for so long.

"Do you want to talk about it?" She finally pushes her luck, her finger drawing small circles on his broad exposed chest.

A moment of a silence later, he releases a short breath and presses his cheek atop her head.

"I met him." He finally, was able to let it out. "I met my real dad." He breathes out.

Yaya cranes out her neck to look at him, studying his face as he continued to look ahead. She tries to read his mind, trying to figure what to feel for him.

Matching her stare, he looks down at her and for a minute or two, he finally smiles at her. A true genuine smile that made her insides bloom a sudden warmth.

"I met him." He says, a short laugh following his statement. She smiles at him, tilting her head in awe as she caresses his cheek.

"You know I've never really had a grudge on him or anything, but like any kid, when I was young I did think he left us. And to say I wasn't disappointed would be a lie. I grew up to understand that there must be an acceptable reason for everything." He looked straight at the ceiling, trying to recall the past events.

"I just stared at him for a while. When he was walking towards me, I just stared at him. I didn't know what to do or say. When he was close enough, the first thing he said was 'My son' with the biggest smile on his face. And I didn't know how or when, but I found myself running towards him, wrapping him in the tightest hug." Nadech giggles, making Yaya look at him in awe as he narrates his first encounter with his biological Austrian father.

"The next thing he said was 'I'm sorry', I didn't know for what exactky, but it was already automatically forgiven. I finally understood that he didn't leave me after all, it's just that he wasn't given the chance to know about me at all. It a decision my real mom made, and something I don't blame her about at all. What mattered to me at that moment was that I finally got to meet him. " He turned to look at Yaya with the most genuine smile on his face. She caresses his cheek again and smiles at him, running her thumb over her skin.

"I'm so happy for you, teeruk." She says, straung right through his dark brown orbs. "I bet you got your looks from him." She snickers.

Nadech giggles, his eyes disappearing at the depth of his smile. "I can't wait for you to meet him. Actually, we do look quite alike. He was almost as tall as me, built like me as well. He was old, but not as old as Papa, he was still strong enough to play a quick game of golf with me. And you know what, we have the same nose and lips." His excitement thrilled Yaya, terribly happy for him as he completes a missing piece on his puzzle.

"You know, I've always had this void in my heart. For so long. And it terrified me everytime I thought about having children of my own. How was I going to be good dad if I had this feeling of incompleteness. And after I met him, I felt like that void was immediately filled. And--" He lets out a shaky excited breath." ---I feel complete now." Ya stares at him intently as she continues to hold his face. Smiling at him, sharing the happiness he radiated.

"I can't wait to meet him too. And you know, you'll be a great father to our children. You know why? Because you're a good man and you have the purest heart." She leans in to press a quick kiss on his lips, earning a sweet smile from Nadech.

"Our children, huh?" He kids, his eyes squinting as he fights off a giddy smile. She felt her cheeks heat up, a massive blush crawl up her face as she looks away, hitting his chest. "You get it." She says, trying to unsuccessfully hide her face.

He stares at her for a second, a million thoughts all circling down to one. He knew he wasn't entirely complete yet, there was one thing he needed to do and for as long as he remembers, this was the surest thing he knew he had.

He raises her chin and makes her look at him, hovering over her as he cradles her with his arms. " I love you." Before she could even respond, he captures her lips in his, feeling more complete than ever.

He knew, in order for him to be whole, he has to have her in his life. Because she was the only one who completed him.

"And I can't wait to meet our babies." He snickers, earning a playful slap from Yaya on the chest before he continues to kiss her all night long.
