They reach their cottage and he place her gently on the bed. Her question was making his mood lightens even more.
Gabriel wanted to laugh at his dear wife. But she might get annoyed at him so he sigh softly as he cuddle his fingers to her hair. She pouted at him waiting or his answer. He reach her swollen stomach and then her face.
"You"ve gotten ugly." He said. Sabrina sat up and smack his chest.
"Say that again, jerk!" Gabriel giggle on her burst and hold her face.
"Baby, you aren"t ugly. I was just teasing you. You are the most beautiful woman I"ve ever seen, Sabrina." He kiss her angry-pouting lips and brushes his thumb on her brows. "Our baby is probably as strong and brave as you and as stubborn as you… I am now imagining our little princess with that kind of expression—loved to be spoiled… A simple trouble maker like you are."
"That"s the sweetest thing I"ve ever heard, Gabby." Sabrina said, her voice was soft and like she was the adult Sabrina he met. "I may not remember who I am as an adult but I know that I love you. So please be patient with me when I get too clingy, demanding and bossy."
Gabriel doesn"t mind all of it. Even if her skin looks pale and she look ugly in people"s eyes since she"s pregnant. But she"s the most beautiful woman in his eyes always and forever.
"I am always patient with you. I will never get tired of you. That"s what I vow to you and I will always fulfill it each day and each time."
Sabrina sigh and snuggle on him.
"You are getting too romantic, hubby." That nick-name. Gabriel knows that soon enough she will remember everything and he"s afraid that she might breakdown. But whatever kind of pain she"s in, he will take it all for her. He will catch her when she fall and he will take all the bullets for her to live. "I might fall hard for you and won"t ever let you go."
Sabrina was sweet and romantic. She doesn"t know that when he first met her. Her flirty comments and conversation with her was actually her way to say her romantic words. Sabrina was a natural teaser, humorous and romantic in her way.
"Then don"t ever let go…" He murmur, his eyes burns for her as he ripped her dress. She gasped. He lean on the headboard of the bed and strip off his clothes. He took off the last thing that she"s wearing.
Sabrina"s eyes widens seeing his erect and she flushes. And as for Gabriel who"s used on being naked whenever they are alone, he got aroused even more. That innocent look makes him want to eat her up.
"Ride on me." He murmur.
"What?" She asked. Gabriel gently pull her and make her straddle on him. "Oh."
"Sabrina, I hate to say that I love that innocent reaction you are making and it makes me want you more so be careful with me, okay?"
Sabrina giggles as she let him take the lead first and then, soon, in their cottage—the bed was shaking and the heat was comparable from the 41 degree Celsius outside.

Veronica was eating a lot of vegetables and protein in the dining room of Ivanov mansion. She got discharge yesterday and Tony cooked a lot of food for her. She didn"t complain on him. He even help her to practice basic exercises and then she practice her tai-chi. She gets better each day and the effect of the drug was gone from her body. "It"s great seeing you eat a lot." Elder Ivanov said. Tony pull out a chair for him and help him up.
"She has to eat a lot and exercise so we could start making babies." Tony said. Veronica cough and choke a little. She immediately drank her water and throw a glare at Tony.
But Tony"s right… however, it"s not about baby making. She missed doing it with him although she has her monthly shot. And now she can"t even have it because Tony will get mad. She can still complain to him about it. They didn"t even plan on holding a big wedding.
"That"s good." Elder Ivanov said as he sipped on his water. He look at his plate. It was palatable and nutritious.
"You too, Grandpa. You have to eat well and exercise as well so that you can still see your great grandchildren running around and playing with you."
"Tony—you got this charm from your dad."
Tony frowns at him.
"Charm from dad? Oh please! This is my own charm, Granddad."
"Well, if you say so." Elder Ivanov mutter and Veronica snicker.
"Did you say that he"s got a charm?" Veronica asked her grandpa as she started laughing. Tony stop and put down the fork. "He doesn"t even have a charm. If he wasn"t good in bed—I wouldn"t even fall for him." Veronica and Calvin started laughing.
Tony frowns. Well, now she knows where Veronica got her att.i.tude. A little from grandpa. But anyway she look happy and adorable. He will forgive her at that moment. But as soon as her body recovere he would never let her escape his punishment.
"You got me, today, V." Tony said. "You know well my consequences." He said it dangerously.
"Oh, come on! If the two of you start talking about s.e.x—then I better run to off to my bedroom." Calvin said as he was about to stand.
"Grandpa! Eat first." Tony said like a strict doctor. He"s a doctor after all. "I am not your grandson at the moment but your physician and nutritionist… did the two of you get it?" He asked. Veronica and Calvin bit their tongue and then nodded. "Good. I"ll have some warm beverages then." He turn back and after he left Veronica and Calvin started laughing.
"This guy has a temper like his dad. Really like his dad." Calvin said. "I remember when Loren was courting your mom—"
"I can still hear the two of you!" Tony said aloud. Calvin and Veronica snicker.
After Veronica is done with her lunch, Calvin left to his bedroom while she stood in the patio and wait for him to hug her from behind like he always do with a hot brewed coffee with milk.
"V, I am not joking about babies." He murmur in her ear. "Sabrina is pregnant, Cat has triplets and Aria has twins and another upcoming… but if you aren"t ready then let"s have six months of just honeymoon."
"Well, I still have a mission." She said. Tony"s face darkens and his hug tightens. She could feel the tense from him. She knew that he"s afraid of losing her. But she has to do it because her father needs to be lectured.
"I will do it." He said. "Your grandfather have an army of a.s.sa.s.sins." Then he drop his arms. "I have to lead that army so I can stop you from getting yourself in trouble." He left.
Veronica exhales. Tony didn"t want to lead this kind of organization that they have. He will do everything for her. She"s afraid that he might also get himself into trouble.
"Tony!" She calls.
