Chapter 136

Carlos return led to the hospital after resting at home for few hours. He was dressed in a navy blue trousers and white shirt, he had also shaved and was looking dashing.

Allison who he had asked to watch her got up to her feet when he came, he gave her the knowing gaze and Allison shook her head, meaning that Triffany has been asleep all the while he was gone.

"Thank you Allison." He said sincerely and walked over to Triffany’s bed, she was just like a sleeping beauty in a deep sleep, but he was glad it wasn't coma, it would have been bad for the baby.

Carlos put down the warm soup he had made for her on the table and turn to Allison. "May I have a word with you please." Allison nod and they both step outside.

They walked to the balcony and Carlos faced her. "I want to apologize to you, I know it is hard learning that Triffany is in this spot and not telling anyone."

Allison shook her slightly. "Triffany’s parents ate on vacation and I didn't want to bother them about it and Nick is also on a trip for his recent game, whereas you also protected her, even if I don't know all the story, I know it was hard on you, more than it was on me or any of us."

Carlos exhaled softly and then he touched the space between his brow. He wish his sister could be less a talkative and be more like Allison and more understanding too.

"Thank you Allison." Carlos flashed her a smile. "I will take over in watching her now, and she will be alright and back to the Triffany you know." He was saying this, but he was not sure how Triffany will react when she learns that Jimmy was dead."

"I will be back later in the evening with a warm soup for her." Allison told him before leaving.

Carlos stood at the balcony for a long time with an uneven expression, just staring at the trees and butterfly, if anything worst had happened to Triffany, how do he expect to explain it to her parents.

"You should be grateful." A voice said behind him and he heard footsteps approach him, but he did not turn around, he already knew who it was.

"Garrett, how did you think Triffany will feel when she wakes up and find out that Jimmy is dead?" Carlos asked without looking at Garrett.

"There is only one way to find out." Garrett placed his hands on Carlos shoulder and Carlos looked at him. "Triffany is awake." Carlos eyes dilated. "She want to see you." He finished.

Carlos wasted no time and walked away with his long legs cover with black trouser towards the room Triffany lay.

He stepped in slowly and look at her face as she turn to him and tears rolled down her cheek. "Carlos." She called out softly and tried to get up, but he rush over to her.

"Don't sit up, you will hurt yourself." He told her and made her lay down again as he took her hands to his and plant a soft kiss on it as his eyes became wet too.

Triffany looked to her abdomen and touched it with her free hands as she gently stroke it and then look back to Carlos. "I wanted you to be the one who tell me..." She sniffles. "Is our baby alright?"

"Silly woman." Carlos said in a hoarse voice and swallowed hard. "Why didn't you think of that before diving right into that bullet." He closed his eyes as his tears rolled.

"So it is true." Triffany broke into a sob. "I lost our baby." She closed her eyes in tears.

"No..." Carlos shook his head and she opened her eyes to stare into his eyes. "You are alright and the baby...our baby is fine too." He nod with a smile and touched her cheek, wiping off her tears with his hands.

"I am so sorry Carlos, I am so sorry for being so stubborn and not listening to you, I am sorry for not putting you first all these while and neglecting my health and the baby, I am so..."

"Hush!" Carlos plants a kiss on her lips to silent her. "If you are sorry, then focus on getting better and don't think of anything else."

He help her sit up, putting pillows behind her back. "And I will have to take care of you from now on, all you should do is pet me and take care of me and our baby too."

"Lets forget all that happened and live smiling from now on." He flashed her a smile and she flashed him a weak smile.

"Alright." She nod. After facing life and death, the only thing that matters now to Triffany was her husband and the baby, she have decided to make them her priority and not think of anyone or anything again.

"While we are still on that, I am hungry and I think the baby is too." She touched her abdomen and looked up to Carlos with a puppy eyes and he chuckled.

"Well, I came prepared." Carlos brought out the soup he had come with and placed it in her front as he opened it. "I prepared this soup specially for you and our baby."

He opened the soup and fed it to her, she smile and stare at him as he continue feeding her. "Don't worry, I made sure nothing in the soup will irritate your stomach."

"Thank you Carlos." Triffany said softly. "Thank you for loving me." She blinks back tears.

"Hey! No more tears should flow from your eyes, you could teach the baby in your stomach to be a cry baby and I don't want that." He pointed out playfully and Triffany chuckled.

"Who told you that?" She said with a faint smile.

Carlos narrowed his eyes. "I did my research, what do you think I do at the office after learning you were pregnant?" Triffany blinks and raised her brows up curiously. "I searched the Internet for a lot of things and how to make my wife and my baby happy after you sent me off to work even with my protest of not having any thing to do there."

Triffany couldn't hold back the tears in her eyes as she started crying again. "Oh come on Triffany." Carlos touch her cheek. "You would make me a tissue soon." He said in a funny way and she embrace his neck.

"Ouch!" She yelp in pain and withdraw her hands immediately. "Carlos, my shoulders hurt!"

"Oh!" Carlos sat on the bed and looked at her with worry in his eyes. "You were shot on your shoulders, silly woman, how won't it hurt when you embraced me that way!" He looked at her.

"It hurts, you shouldn't be shouting at me." She looked at him with a wet eyes.

"I will go get the doctor to check on it then." He was about to get up, but Triffany held him back. "What?"

"Kiss me and it will stop hurting." She curled her lips up and Carlos looked at her with a raised brow. "Come on."

Carlos smile. "Oh Triffany, you really should be a dram queen." He shoot at her forehead with his finger.

"Carlos!" She rub her forehead with her other hands. "You are so cruel. You just said you will take care of me but you are hurting me." She frown at him.

"What?" Carlos scoffed. "I see that Triffany of the past is back." He shook his head and returned to his chair. "I really miss this part of you."

"Carlos, you should pet me not laugh at me!" Triffany looked at him with a furrowed brow. "Just kiss me and I will be fine." She pointed at her lips.

"Shit! Triffany, did you also hurt your head, you are acting spoilt now." He wave his hands and looked at her closely. "It seems you really hurt your head, am sure it is not a hormone from being pregnant." He looked her all over and she frown.

"Just a kiss, it won't kill you." She pout.

"We can't do that here, someone might walk in." Carlos leans back and glance behind his back.

"Carlos... my hand hurts." Triffany called out as she held her hands and looked at him with a puppy eyes.

"Where?” Carlos moved closer to her and looked over at her shoulder, but before he can look up to her, she kiss his lips and his eyes dilated.

He pulled back and Triffany smile and stick out her tongue at him. "Oh Triffany, you never back out until you win right." He smile and she nod.

"Now am ready to drink my soup." She pointed at the soup, but when she looked at Carlos who was not moving her brow lifted as his eyes darkened. "Carlos what is wrong?"

"Why don't we take it to the next level?" He asked as he came closer to her with lust in his eyes.

"Carlos, someone might walk in.." Triffany told him as her eyes darted to the door and back at him.

"You didn't care about that a minute ago..." He said with a smirk on his lips as his face drew closer to her.

"Carlos, I am still hurt remember..." She moved backwards, but Carlos put his hands around her waist. "Carlos control yourself." She told him.

"You awoke my desire." He looked down at her lips, pulling her close he kissed her on her lips.
