- Heather's POV

I groan feeling my head still pounding even after waking up. I look around and realize I am back in Xavier's and mine bedroom. I look around confused trying to remember how I got here. I remember leaving with Luca to go to school. I hold my head when I remember fainting outside the school. 

I look down noticing I am in one of Xavier's sweaters. I smile softly smelling it. I told him shortly after moving in that I preferred his shirts to sleep in since his scent comforted me. Ever since then, He has made sure that I am either in his clothes or none at all. I look over and see Tessa grinning at me with a tray in her hands. I blush realizing I was caught sniffing my shirt. Tessa has this knowing look though and doesn't comment which I was grateful for. 

"How are you feeling Miss Drake?" I take the Tylenol off the tray and the glass of water downing the pills. I take a deep breath leaning against the pillow nodding my head slowly. I gently tug her wrist making her sit down beside me. 

"What time is it Tessa?" I say groggily. I don't bother trying to correct her because everytime I do she gives me a smirk and then continues to call me it. 

"It's a little after one." I lay my head back closing my eyes. I feel Tessa place her hand to my forehead making a smile tug at my lips. Her cold hand felt good in contrast to the heat from the headache. She stands up and kisses the top of my head before leaving. 

Tessa has become like another mother to me and I adore her. I have gotten to learn that she has been with Xavier since he was a young boy. Over 20 years of working for the Sanford household and now she gets to see Luca grow up as well. She tells me repeatedly how pleased she is that Luca and Xavier have me which just makes me blush and her laugh. 

I open my eyes feeling a cold compress being placed on my forehead. Tessa gives me a soft smile but I can see the concern in her eyes. I do wonder why I fainted as well as how I ended up here. Tessa can read my thoughts perfectly answering my unspoken questions. 

"You fainted going into the school. You hit your head on the ground. The driver took you quickly to the hospital. Luca was extremely scared. Xavier met you at the hospital and he knows what all was said. He had them release you so he could monitor you from here." 

"Where are my boys?" Her lips turn up at my question.

"Xavier thought it would be a good idea to have Luca spend some time with Mr. & Miss Taylor until you were ready for him." Mr. & Miss Taylor?? Oh Cami and Nicholas! I nod closing my eyes again while she presses the cloth to my forehead again. "I already rung Xavier, he should be here anytime." 

"Thank you Tessa." I say taking her hand giving it a kiss. She nods her head standing up to leave. Before exiting she tells me to drink plenty of water. I nod at her while she exits. 

Not even a few minutes later I feel sick. I quickly find my footing getting to the toilet emptying my stomach into the bowl. I continue until my body is dry-heaving. I lay down onto the cold tile floor. I then hear the bathroom door open. I peak my eyes open to see Xavier looking at me worriedly. He flushes the toilet. I groan realizing I forgot to. 

"I'm sorry." I whisper out feeling completely drained. Xavier walks over picking me up in his arms. He sits me down on the vanity and gets my toothbrush ready. I open my mouth as he scrubs my teeth for me. If I wasn't completely exhausted, I would be embarrassed. Once were done he lifts me again taking me to the bed. He lays me gently on the bed and takes his shirt off before coming in next to me. I feel him turn me so I am laying on my side with my back to his front. He gently brushes my hair back kissing my shoulder while his other hand lays on my stomach stroking his thumb. I sigh in contentp. 

"Don't ever apologize love. Now rest. I am not going anywhere." He whispers in my ear. I close my eyes letting his warmth lull me to a blissful sleep. 

************************************

Some time later, I stir awake and begin trying to wiggle to go use the restroom but Xavier pulls me firmly back to him. I turn around to look at his face but already find him awake. He leans into kiss me but I cover my mouth with my hand. He gives me a confused look. 

"Xavier, I don't want you to get sick too." He smirks and removes my hand before giving me a firm kiss. 

"Sweetheart, your not sick." He says brushing his lips against mine. I abruptly pull back giving him a dumbfounded look. Is he serious??

"Xavier, I have been feeling so tired the last few days, I fainted aaannnnddd you just saw me throw up earlier today." I pause waiting for him to connect the dots. He just smirks and doesn't comment so I continue. "I am obviously sick." 

He sits up placing his back to the headboard. I get a perfect view of his muscular chest making me bite my lip. I still haven't licked- no, No, NO. Bad Heather! I shake my head looking back into his gaze to see a knowing smirk on his face. He reaches his hand out for me to take which I don't hesitate doing. He then tugs me to straddle his lap. I blush but he just chuckles and raises my chin to look into those cobalt blue eyes. 

"Sweetheart, what do you think of children?" He asks a random question further confusing me. 

"I love them, you know this." I answer with clear confusion in my voice. 

"And Luca?" He ask still keep his gaze locked with mine. 

"He's my son." I say looking down with a smile on my lips. He doesn't like it and lifts my chin again. 

"How do you feel about babies?" I scrunch my eyebrows now completely lost. 

"I love them... Xavier, I don't understand. What is the point of these questions?" I ask searching his eyes to see him look at me expectantly. He cups my cheek still keep his eyes locked with mine. 

"How do you feel about having your own?" 

I then smile for a brief moment thinking about a little girl or boy that resembled both me and Xavier. It then hits me making my eyes go wide. My heart rate picking up speed. Feeling fatigue, getting sick... his questions. I look deep into his eyes while he gives me a warm smile nodding his head gently. He strokes my cheek while I subconsciously bring my palm to my stomach. Xavier notices and places his hand over mine. I begin to cry feeling emotional. 

"I'm pregnant." I say with tears in my eyes. I smile widely at him. I see his body relaxed making me confused. "Xavier, did you not..."

His eyes snap to mine going wide. "Of course I do, I just wasn't sure how you would feel about this." 

I look down at our hands on my stomach. I chuckle sob out of happiness. I release my hand to wrap both my arms around his neck. He braces me back pulling my chest completely against his. 

"We're having a baby." 

"Yes sweetheart, we are." He smiles against my neck. I couldn't help my own splitting smile. I pull back looking into his eyes that hold so much love making my heart speed up. "I love you Angel." 

"As I love you Xavier."
