Can looked at her with a gaze that she always fell into. An abyss that had claimed her the first time that she had seen his eyes at the office. That was a fond memory that she would never forget.

What's your name?

Sanem, my name is Sanem

"Sanem," he said nothing but her name and continued to stare at her.

Sanem held her breath.

"Sanem" a smile finally lit up his intense features.

She watched a little in shock, as a tear rolled down his cheek. She didn't bother to wipe it off but instead, she followed the journey from his right eye, all the way to the front of his t-shirt. "I've never seen you cry before. I was beginning to doubt that you had tears at all."

Can let out a deep chuckle, "Well apart from when I was a baby obviously-"

"Obviously," she teased.

"Only one woman has ever managed to make me cry. Her name was Sanem Aydin, my first love and my girlfriend." His arms went around her waist.

"Really," she said as she locked her fingers behind his neck. "Who else?"

"Sanem Aydin, my fiance. And now Sanem Divit, my wife and the woman who is carrying my child," Can smiled back at her so brilliantly that every single doubt or fear that she held within her disappeared immediately.

"Are you happy?" She stroked his tear away and cupped his cheek. It always kicked her heart to a running start whenever he leaned into her palm and caressed it with his jaw. It somehow reminded her of a little kitten that wanted to love. And love him, she would, till her last breathe.

"Yes. Actually, I don't know how to describe this feeling. There is nothing else I want from this world."

"Are you sure? What about the job offer?"

Can studied her face for a second then sighed, "Is that the reason why you were having trouble telling me?"

"Yes," Sanem scratched his beard. "I was worried that this would come in the way of your dreams, of the world tour."

"Sanem you are my dream come true, and the baby is just the best part of this dream."Can kissed her then said, "Nothing in this world is more important than you."

"I know."

"How far along are you?" Can turned her around and leaned her back against his chest. His hands settled on her belly.

"I think almost three months."

"You think? Three months? That means-," Can slowly connected the dots and revealed the other reason she had been so scared of telling you. "You found out when I still didn't have my memories didn't you?"

"Yes," she admitted. How exactly was she supposed to announce her pregnancy to a man who didn't remember then night he got her pregnant in the first place?

"Ah Sanem Ah!"

"I know I always get myself into problems."

****

"Ah Sanem Ah!" Can held her hand as he stared at the sonogram monitor. Sanem was in shock as well. She had already asked the doctor five times if there was a mistake. Her dream was coming true, Sanem was pregnant with twins. Her fantasy had been exciting, but having it come true had Sanem terrified.

A quick look at Can and his usual 'in control' air that he had around him had disappeared. It was obvious that he was just as scared as she was, but Sanem was sure of one thing, as long as they did it together everything would be fine.

"Sanem, you never make anything easy do you."
