THIRD PERSON POV

Tyrone on the other hand was both panicked and excited at the same time. Panicked because he feared for the baby’s life amongst all of the things happening in his mother’s life because it could easily affect the pregnancy if she was to stress a lot. Just like what happened to her when she was pregnant with Arcadia, she was too stressed with the company and what seemed to figure out later to be her hunting down those responsible for his accident that she almost miscarried. The doctors had to advice with strict bed rest for at least two months due to the possibility of losing the baby being at its highest levels.

And now there was no difference, she is too involved in this mind game she’s playing with God knows who to be able to pull out. He was worried how she would deal with it if God forbid his fears ever came true.

However he was excited to have another child with her. Since he grew up with a big family himself, he always has this dream of having a lot of kids. He knew that Elize liked to have more kids too, even though she always teases him about his little dream of having at least Nine Kids. She thinks that family members are the only people that will stick with through Thick & Thin, and she wanted her kids to have someone to lean on in times of need and when the whole world turns their back on them.

Tyrone laid behind her, circling her waist with his arms while rubbing his palm on her stomach, still swimming in his own thoughts. Unaware that she woke up, and looking up at him puzzlingly after turning around in his arms. ‘What’s on your mind?’ She asked caressing his left cheek.

He snapped his head down to her. ‘Nothing, just random stuff.’ He replied.

‘You know?’ She asked knowingly.

He looked at her confused for a second before her words sunk in. ‘You already knew?’ He asked. ‘And you didn’t bother to tell me?’ He continued slightly offended.

‘I wasn’t sure. I just guessed it, and was going to check tomorrow that’s why I didn’t tell you. Besides I kind of expected your reaction that’s why I wanted to make sure before telling you.’ She said.

“What do you mean? What did you expect from my reaction?’ He asked frowning.

‘The same one you had a few minutes ago. You’re over thinking things. Nothing is going to happened since I’m well prepared this time, I’m and will always be ten steps ahead of them.’ She assured, still caressing his cheek.

‘Are you sure?’ He was still suspicious.

‘When have I ever made an empty promise?’ She asked.

He nodded. ‘Just know that I’m always here with you, and I’ll make sure you and our baby are okay, okay?’ He said looking at her lovingly while leaning into her touch.

‘I know.’ She assured. ‘Besides, you know the kids will fuss about having a new sibling that they’ll be there for me all the time, especially Ethan since he never missed a moment of his siblings.’ She giggled lightly when she imagined how cute their expressions would be when they’ll tell them.

‘Indeed.’ Tyrone was smiling as he looked at his wife lovingly. He was somewhat relieved when she assured him of their safety, he would hate himself if anything happened to his wife or their unborn child.

He was going to protect them even if it was the last thing he does.

Little did he know that his wife’s past Demons have just made an alliance with her present enemies, and are sparing no effort to bring their family down.
