"If you love somebody, let them go, for if they return, they were always yours. If they don't, they never were."
― Kahlil Gibran

A cold atmosphere from the room made her curled like a baby, and she noticed a warm body securely hugged her from behind. She slowly eased back to enjoyed the warmness, she felt so contented and safe.

"I love you Cheeky Pie. You wouldn't believe me if I'll tell you that I could give up everything just to have you back. I waited for this moment. And now I can't breath from so much happiness." he whispered while still hugging her.

"Hmm," she just shortly replied.

"I love you so much to the point that I cursed you when I've thought you just toyed my feelings. I hated you and that caused you pain. I'm so sorry Sweetheart, I'm really sorry." his voice trembled, he felt so sorry for what he had done to her.

"Luke." she felt something wet from the back of her shoulder.

She slowly opened her eyes then she noticed his arm securely hugging her from behind.

"Lucas..." she slowly roled over to faced him, ready to scold him for bringing her on his bed. "I told you." she paused "Hey, why are you crying? Are you in pain? Where? Your right hand or your head?" she got panicked, so she immediately switched on the lamp shade.

"I'm really sorry Sweetheat." he touched her face and sadly stared at her.

"Wait, what?" she was too stunned to saw him crying, the pain and regrets showed on his face.

"Please tell me what I'm going to do, so you can let me be part of your life again? Please tell me, cos I don't wanna live my life without you." he lovingly kissed the top of her head.

"I already forgiven you." she sighed. "But I think this is not right, you already had Arienne." she sadly replied then she slowly rose on bed and sat up straightly while avoiding his gaze.

"Sweetheart, you must need to believe me. About me and Arienne we're totally over." he also rose on bed and kneeled in front of her. "We already ended everything between us. Please believe me, I want us to start over, you and me, Quien and our new baby. Please give me another chance." he moved a little bit in front of her and hold her hand.

She stared at him and studied his face, she knew from this very moment, Lucas was already a redeemed man.

"Oh! Lucas, what I'm going to do to you?" she breathed deeply and looked straight into his eyes and smiled at him. "I love you, I will always love you." then she touched and pinched his handsome face.

"Ouch! Sweetheart!" he grabbed her hand and brought it to his mouth. "I love you so much, thank you Sweetheart." he tightly hugged her, showing her how much she mean to him.

"I love you too." she she whispered.

"Oh! I feel great." he sweetly kissed on the tip of her nose and he hungrily kissed on her lips.

"Oh, Luke." she whispered and hugged him tight.

"I miss you so much Sweetheart." he kissed her like there's no tomorrow. "You deprive me to kiss you like this." he kissed her neck and the back of her ear.

"Luke," she felt electrified wih his kiss.

"Sweetheart,I want to spend my whole life with you." he seductively whispered while continued kissing her neck and downward.

"Lucas! What are you doing? Oh my God, Luke!" she whimpered at the sensation that run throughout her body.

"I'm doing the thing you deprive me for so long." she heard his husky voice while he nipped her neck.

"I'm all yours." she smiled and kissed him back.

Now she was ready to take another chance to be happy again to the man she love with all her heart.

The bright morning sunlight and a continued ringing of the doorbell woke him up from a very beautiful dreams.

Lucas slowly opened his eyes and a sweet smile shown in his handsome face when he realized that he were not dreaming. Their tangled nude bodies were the real evidence of it.

"Sweetheart, I'm going to answer the door." he whispered and kissed her forehead.

"Okey," she simply replied.

"I will be back in a minute." he smiled and passionately kissed her lips.

"Lucas, the door." she the said when the doorbell keep on ringing. "Wait!" she suddenly pushed him when something came up in her mind.

"What happen?" he wondered while glaring to her beautiful face.

"They're here!" she hurriedly jumped on the bed and looked for her clothes.

"Who's here?" he pleasantly asked while he gazed to her nudity.

"Your parents, our daughter and Leendon." she instantly replied. "Lucas Montero! It's a broad daylight, what are you thinking?" she shook her head while picking her clothes.

"Your still so sexy even our little bump showing already, you're a very sexy pregnant woman." he happily replied and winked at her.

"Tell me that again, after a few a months." she said while she picked his clothes and throw it to him. "Hurry up, I don't want our daughter to caught us like this." she kissed his lips and pinched his nose then went out the room.

She carefully fixed her clothes before she opened the main door. Her daughter immediately hugged her the moment she opened the door. Leendon and Lucas parents greeted her with a very pleasant smile.

"Mom! I miss you? Where's Daddy?" Quien showered a kisses on her face.

"I miss you too Princess, Daddy is inside. Hi Leend! Hello Mr. and Mrs. Montero! Please come in." she opened the door to let them in, while securely carried her daughter.

"Hello Athe!" Lorraine Montero greeted and kissed on her cheek.

"How are you Athe? Oh! and where's Lucas?" Randolf Montero greeted her too and patted her right shoulder.

"I'm fine, and Lucas, he'll come out in a minute. Oh Leend! you look exhausted. Was Quien tired you up?" she smiled to Randolf and Lorraine.

She walked beside Leendon toward the living room.

"No! I was just ringing to some of my colleague last night regarding our medical mission. Don't worry I'm fine. Oh! Let me carry Princess, that's not good for a pregnant." Leendon got Quien from her arms.

"Pregnant? You're pregnant?" Lorraine and Randolf asked at the same time.

"Wow! Randolf! It's really an answered prayer. I can't believe it! We have another grandchild!" Lorraine happily hugged her husband.

"Yes Mom and Dad, she is pregnant with my child." Lucas suddenly replied.

"Congratulation son! You did it very well." Randolf chuckled and patted his son's shoulder.

"Thanks Dad!" he hugged his father. "Your great tips really works." he whispered and chuckled then turned to Leendon. "Hi Leend! I'm glad to see you man!"

"Nice to see you again man, Good heaven! You scared us." Leendon chuckled.

"Daddy!" Quien extended her arms to her father. Leend put her on Lucas left uninjured arm. "Daddy, is Mommy really pregnant, so it means I'm going to have a baby sister or a baby brother?" Quien amusingly asked, she looked so stunned about the news.

"Yes Sweetie, you're going to be an older sister soon." Lucas kissed the tip of her nose.

"Yehey!" Quien shouted happily.

"Okey! okey  Princess! took your sit first, your Daddy still have an injured arm" Athena put her daughter to the nearby couch.

"Anyway, how about a breakfast for everybody?" he looked to everybody.

"I'm in for the lunch, but no for the breakfast? I already have one earlier." Leendon joked.

"Oh!" Lucas immediately looked at the wall clock and laughed when he found out that it was already a lunch time. "I guess my clock was busted." he said, and everybody laughed at him.
