Lowering him. Kissed her forehead before he showered her face with kisses before he lifted himself a little looking down at her. Her eyes were moist. Her breathing was back to normal.
She was staring at him in a way that he didnβt understand. It was mixed between pain and heartache and love. These emotions were caused by him. Because he let her misunderstand him. But he did protect her.
"Iβm sorry." He said to her,
Petal reached to comb his messed hair with her fingers and he leaned into her touch. She didnβt know why he was apologizing because certainly, it wonβt fix anything. Even if she had sex with him, it doesnβt that she forgives him or that she forgot him. It was a complex feeling inside of her.
After helping her to fix her clothes. Ethan zipped her dress and she turned around looking around the room. When Ethan heard someoneβs footsteps. He immediately took her to an unused room seeing how scared she was. They didnβt know who that person was because they were too busy with themselves to even care. He protected her from being seen in such an embarrassing state and she appreciated what he did.
Petal turned to look at him for a moment before she walked towards the door. Leaving. For her, this meant nothing or that was what she tried to convince herself with.
Ethan didnβt stop her. He let her leave. This wasnβt the right time to win her back. Things are better off this way. When the time is right and if theyβre destined. He will have her back to his side.
Watching her leave felt like his soul was being pulled out from him. But he calmed himself by thinking that at least he will be able to see her every day. A glimpse of her every day. Can make him wait for eternity.

A month later.
Pearl was laying on the examination bed as the doctor examined her. She is six months pregnant now. Her baby bump can be seen now. They were in the doctorβs clinic for her monthly check-up.
"Everything seemed to be good. The babyβs growth, weight, and heartbeat. He is as healthy as his mother." The doctor assured Issac who had a worried look on his face.
Pearl didnβt say anything. She just stared at the ceilings with a blink expression.
Lately. Pearl mantle condition wasnβt doing good. Her depression symptoms started to come back again. Worse this time. Issac was worried that it would affect her and the child. He tries to be supportive of her as much as he can, but she locks herself In her room for the whole day, which leaves him worried.
The doctors put her back on pills though they might be some risks that the doctor told him about. The baby might experience temporary signs and symptoms of discontinuation β such as jitters, irritability, poor feeding, and respiratory distress β for up to a month after birth. But they assured him that it will be fine, itβs only temporary symptoms and nothing serious.
After the examination. The doctor left the examination room for the couple to talk.
"How do you feel?" Issac asked as he wiped the water-soluble gel off her stomach knowing that she hated it.
"Iβm fine." Pearl replied feeling extremely hot when it was cold outside.
"Here." Issac handed her an open bottle of water.
Drinking half of the bottle she handed it to him. Five minutes later. They left the clinic going back to the apartment. Sitting in the car. Pearl closed her eyes and dozed off like she always does when they go outside. Issac never complained. He knew that she was always tired because of pregnancy and the pills sheβs taking.
"Issac. Iβm sorry." Pearl whispered In her sleep.
Issac wasnβt surprised. It wasnβt the first time she said that in her sleep. The doctor told him that in her subconscious. She feels guilty towards him. Because she was feeling that she wasnβt good to him.
Reaching for her hand. He warped his hand around hers. Telling her that he was right here beside her. Her hand held him tightly in her sleep. Feeling the familiar touch.
Issac was forced to watch her suffer every day. He watches her as she tries to be better for him. Every night. He woke up to find her crying from the nightmares and sometimes screaming. The past still haunts her. She told him that she feels trapped in the past at the moment when those filthy men were kidnapped and what they did to her.
By the time they reached the apartment. Pearl was awake. Entering the apartment. Pearl walked towards the couch sitting on it. She was so tired.
Issac came to sit next to her but she laid down and rested her head in his lap. He chuckled and reached to run his fingers through her hair. She always loved it when he did that to her. It was relaxing. With his other hand. He put his hand on her swollen belly gently rubbing it. Their son is always active at this time of the morning. But it looks like heβs not today.
"You slept already. Sleep well. My sweet butterfly. When you wake up I will be right here beside you." He whispered in her ear reassuringly.
Pearl always was restless in her sleep. She always talks, cries, or screams in her sleep. Her eyes were taut. Her breathing was uneven. Sweat gathered on her forehead and as always he wiped it for her.
Reaching for the blanket that was folded on the end of the couch. He unfolded it and covered her with.
