Sabrina was satisfied that day as Gabriel takes her home. She felt like her mom is alive because of that cooking. But everyone said that she"s dead and they buried her. When she heard them say that her mom is dead she was in pain but not for too long. How about when she has her memories? How about back then? How did she endure it? Gabriel pats her head and kisses it. He knows well that she"s over thinking. If only he can hold her memories—he will wipe out all of those bad and traumatic one. He will change it with pure happiness and reminds her of how she bullied others to protect herself. But it"s a reality. He can"t change it. He can"t stop her from remembering everything.
After taking a shower, he coaxed her to sleep and she was so serene. He couldn"t sleep at all. His phone chimes and he reach it. It was Anastasia and she only said that she"s going to cook dinner for everyone and that he should settle a family dinner in their villa. He thanked her and he call Ethan and Enzo at the same time.
"What"s up?" The two asked at the same time. He heard the cries of babies at the background of Enzo and then on Ethan is Kiel"s voice and Ana who are arguing.
"Let"s have a family dinner tomorrow night."
"Uhh." The two said at the same time.
"It"s not a request. I will prepare your favorite dishes and please also call dad so he can join us. Cancel any of your appointment and that"s an order."
"What the heck?"
"I am your big brother now. Besides, Sabrina would want a family dinner." He said.
"Wow…" Enzo exhales.
"Okay. Be there with the kids and wife." Ethan said calmly.
"Good night." Gabriel said.
"Wait! Gabby! I plan our honeymoon can it be that—"
"I don"t think so." Gabby rejected him.
"We have nannies…"
"Why did you impregnate Catriona before marrying her? You dumb a.s.s." Gabriel mutter. He can feel that Enzo is pouting on the other line like Sabrina did whenever he lectured her. But that wasn"t adorable for him when it"s Enzo.
"Please…" Enzo mutter.
"They need to be fed from their mom." He said. Sabrina who is asleep grab his hand and wrapped it on her as she turned back from him. He adjusted and hugged her. "bye for now." Gabriel hang up and put the phone away and hug her tightly and kiss her ear.
In the morning, he woke up and still found her sleeping. He kisses her forehead, reach a gla.s.s of water and drank it. Then he put on a PJ and he went to the gym and start working out. He left the door to their room open so he could hear her when she"s calling him.

Sabrina was running fast in a place that she didn"t know. It was dark and someone was chasing after her. She tripped and immediately get up. Then suddenly she stopped seeing her mom standing and crying. A man was behind her, bulky and holding her neck with a gun pointed on her head. Her body shakes. Her heart is pounding. She shook her head pleading the man not to hurt her mom.
Someone shook her mom on her chest and she scream and turn around to see Janine smiling at her and pointed the gun to her and down to her belly. She look down on her belly finding herself pregnant and Janine pull the trigger.
Sabrina scream aloud as she sat up crying with a scream.
Gabriel was wiping off his sweat when he heard Sabrina"s fearful scream. He immediately run to her, his heart was fast, his mind had thought different scenarios. Worst that if he wouldn"t run to her quickly—he would loose her. He found her crying hugging a pillow. She look like a lost kid as she look up at him with those tears.
Gabriel was breaking slowly that he can"t move closer. It was painful for him to see her in that condition. But he reach her—he has to be strong for both of them. He reach her and she immediately wrapped her arms around him and straddle him hugging him tight. She"s so afraid that her whole body is shaking.
"Shhh… I"m here…" He comforts her and a tear fall from his eyes but he wipe it off and his eyes fierce. Those people who hurt her will pay.
"They killed my mom…. They are going to kill my baby too." She sobbed and sound like a baby.
"Who? Who did you see?"
She stopped. Gabriel reach a gla.s.s of water that he always leave beside her and she drank it. He wipe off her tears and reach her pony tail and tie her long hair. She"s like a child.
"Sit here, don"t squish our baby." She sat down and stopped crying. "It was a bad dream?" He asked and then she replied with a nod. He scoop her chin. "Sabrina. You will remember more than that okay? So be strong for me? Seeing you scream and cry like that breaks me. You are my strength and my weakness. So please, be strong for me."
She nods. Determined and like a real warrior. Gabriel kisses her hand.
"This is for you and for our baby. They can"t just hurt an Alvarez, a Mondragon and a Lawson. They can"t bully us. We bully them."
"Okay." She move closer to him and lay her head on his naked chest. "You leave the bed too early."
"I have to work out, baby. So I could be strong enough to take care of you." She smile and suddenly every worries he had a while ago vanishes like a pop of bubble.
"You sweet talk me again, dummy." She snuggled on him more.
"What should I do then, my baby?" He asked as he patted her head.
"I like the food that I ate yesterday."
"Okay. Then you can eat it again tonight. I settle someone to cook our dinner and your siblings and dad will be here. That includes your dad, nephews and niece."
Gabriel reach her stomach.
"This little one will soon play with her big brothers and big sister."
"I can"t force her to come out so we could…" She caressed his body and then touch him down there. Gabriel groan and hold her hand. She pouted so adorably like a puppy.
"Are you sure you don"t feel bad anymore?"
"Make love to me." She said with those puppy eyes. Gabriel sigh and look away. How can he d.a.m.n resist her?
