Just A Step Away

Chapter 40

Katherine's POV:

"And then her savior saved her from that bad man, like always." I looked at Darwin when he squeezed my hand and stroked Lauren, our five years old daughter's hair.

"Does that savior looks like my dad?" She asked while pulling her blanket closer to her.

We smiled at her and then to each other.

"Yes sweetheart. Your dad is my savior and-"

"And you are his home." She completed.

"No, we are his home." I kissed her and whispered.

"Really dad?" She asked excitedly.

"Yes honey." Darwin kissed her forehead and said.

"Then when will I meet my savior?" She asked frantically on which I laughed but Darwin frowned.

"I'm your savior too, you don't need anyone." He said and closed his arms with a huffed.

"Sweetie, don't be sad. Your dad is just being over possessive. You will meet your savior when the time will come but right now, it's time for you to sleep. Come on, close your eyes." I said and stood up with Darwin by my side.

"Good night princess." Darwin said.

"Good night." Lauren said and turned to sleep.

I switched the lights off and closed the door cautiously.

Suddenly Darwin turned me around to face him and pulled me closer by encircling his arms around my waist.

"What were you saying inside? I'm over possessive?" Darwin complained and showered his kisses on my neck on the same time.

"Darwin, stop." I laughed because of the tingling sensation on my neck.

"Come on, answer me." He picked me up in the bridal way and walked towards our room.

"Yes, you are over possessive. I mean we are married for 6 years and I am a mother of your baby but you still feel jealous and over possessive when Omer comes to visit us. You have never talked with him politely." I pointed out when he placed me on bed and then went on the other side to climb too.

"What can I do? I just don't like him." He said with a frown.

I moved towards him and placed my head on his chest and he took me in his arms gladly.

"He was nearly killed in order to save me, Darwin." I said sadly.

I still shiver when I think about those days and especially that day. I was under shock for some days after that incident took place. Darwin, our families and my friends helped me to recover.

Later, Omer himself understood that we can be nothing more than friends and he himself stepped back. Everyone bowed down in front of our love and witnessed our wedding wholeheartedly.

On our wedding day, Darwin gifted me our dream house. He fulfilled his promise of building a house for us. It was exactly like we dreamt in our childhood. We decorated our house with love, respect and trust.

I still remember the day when I realized that I was pregnant. I felt so happy to finally complete my family. My reaction was nothing as compare to Darwin's. He didn't talk for whole day because of shock. He acted so funny that everybody still makes fun of him. He came to his senses next day and then he didn't let me do anything. I didn't even get a chance to demand anything; he himself fulfilled all my cravings before handed.

I left modeling and decided to stay at home when Lauren came into this world. I wanted to devote my time to my husband and daughter, a family which I earned after so many hurdles and difficulties.
