This warmth

"Welcome home hubby."

Tristan was startled before smiling and kissing her lip endlessly.

"You're three months too late to say that." He teased back.

"I was asleep for three months?"

"Uh huh. Do you feel any pain? Are you tired? Do you want to continue on sleeping?" The last sentence was more like a sarcasm in Alicia's ear.

She smacked him on his chest but frown when she notice her body was feeling sore and the hand was kind of stiff.

"What happen? Does it hurt?" Tristan became nervous when he saw her look.

"No. Probably i've been laying down for too long that my body is feeling stiff. Other than that, i'm fine." She assured him.

"We can't be too sure. Let my mother do a thorough check up on you."

"But i want to lay with you like this a little bit longer." She said in a coquettish way. His heart melted then and there. Planting a kiss on both of her cheeks before landing onto her lips once again.

"I miss you. I'm sorry i was late. Thank you for never leaving me and keeping your promise." He snuggled close to her neck as he spoke those words.

Alicia smile as she patted his hand that rested on her stomach.

"It's not nice to name our kids Husky and Poodle. And even though they're our twins they still shouldn't grab your spot. I won't let them rob your place. You're not alone." She said while caressing his rough hand. Although she wanted to see her twins right away but she need to pamper this big baby first.

"You heard me?" He asked.

"Everyday. But i just seem can't open my eyes at that time. It feels tiring but it's all good. I can hear your voice."

"That's not fair. You are just torturing me all these while. Don't you know how much i missed hearing your voice?"

"Aren't i awake now? My poor hubby. How long did you stop going to work at your company?"

"How long do you think?"

Alicia smile thinly. She put her hand on his face and trace it softly. Her bright eyes looking straight at him.

"I'm sorry."

"You should be." He interrupted only to be hit lightly on his chest. He took hold onto her hand and kisses every inch of her hand.

"I didn't mean to hide these things. I knew you and mom will eventually found out. What happen while i was asleep?" She asked innocently. As if she didn't cause a huge panic to others when she just suddenly unconscious and deliver her twins in that situation.

Tristan start telling her everything and she just listen to him quietly. Sometimes he would poke her just to get a response from her. It's a telling signs that she's awake. She would sometimes tease him in between making his chest rumble with his laughter. This is what he missed the most while she was asleep. Only with her, his dull life felt like there's a bright light that he can never live without. Besides that, he also mention about the blood that he extracted from that mad researcher. It was worth the hunt. Except that he didn't mention anything about him using his demon power.

Upon hearing all that, Alicia just kept looking straight at him.

"You won't tell me?" She suddenly asked.

Tristan looked surprised. He thought he could still hide it or pretend that the power never exist. He never truly used his power because it was unnecessary when dealing with his own enemies. It was only recently he used them that cause quite a commotion as the hill that used to look pleasing now turn into a volcano hill.

"How did you know?" He asked. Feeling nervous and anxious at the same time.

"Probably because the blood that you extracted is connected with the drugs in my body. And even while i was sleeping, i saw the whole thing." She calmly told him.

"Did i hurt you?" His brain started connected all the things together. If she can see it, does it mean she can still feel everything that has been inflicted on that mad researcher's fate? Was this also the reason she can't wake up earlier than plan?

Alicia smile and start hugging him sluggishly. The aftereffect from sleeping too long still made her every move stiff.

"Both of us didn't know. It's not your fault. It's the drug that has been within me for a long time. So don't blame yourself for this. Even i didn't know it as well. It was only because that mad researcher was close by and suddenly my consciousness connected to his. While you were fighting against him, i was fighting against his conscious who's trying to conquer my body. I almost lost when you eventually used your power against him. Despite the pain, we kicked his ass together." She smile proudly at him.

Tristan still looking sullen.

"I still hurt you."

"But you still end up saving me no matter what. It was due to your love for me i can fight him back. And it was due to your power, it warmth up my heart. And all the more reason for me to keep on living. We still haven't live our life together for a long time. Until our hair turns gray and we'll get wrinkle together." She encountered.

He ended up getting speechless over her refute. In the end, he just kissed her lips and continue snuggling together with her. Although he's still feeling guilty hurting he unintentionally, her words made it sounds like he's her hero right then and there.

"I love you. You're the warmth in my heart." He whispered endlessly.

Alicia grinned widely. Her eyes shine like a star everytime she hears his confession. She never thought of having this kind of future back then. She never thought of complete happiness. Back then what matters are her adopted parent's family and the Googol task that she need to handle from time to time. It was pretty simple. She never thought of getting married, loving someone so much that she will do anything to keep everyone safe. Even having families of her own was out of reach considering she have that deadly drugs within her. But right now, her life became complete from the moment Tristan walked into her life. Abducting her just so he could marry her, giving her every warmth that could fill up her entire heart and with that warmth she survive the whole episodes of pain. With their twins around, it was more than what she could ever asked for. Right now, it feels just like a dream. But she knows it wasn't because the man besides her just kept on looking at her as if she's the only person in his life.

"Let's look for out twins now." She said eagerly. He start looking gloomy.

"Didn't you say that you will always be my side now?" He stiffen himself unwilling to get up nor bother with helping her getting up from the bed. He just watch her struggle before sighing lightly. Indeed, he can never win against his wife.

"I always do. But i want to see them. They might forget that i'm their mother."

"I'll just send them to orphanage if they do. And we could make another babies."

She was speechless. This husband of hers can only be sweet to her but not to others. Including their twins.

"Stop that. You are not sending them away. Tell me, have you name our twins?"

Tristan just raised his brow. His finger points toward his lip. The intention was obvious. Alicia clicked her tongue. With a quick peck, she looked at Tristan who was looking disappointed. He just squeeze her cheek lightly and kiss her lips on his own. This time he took his own time. Until she was breathless, he finally decided to let go with a grin. Despite looking dazed from the kiss, she still manage to glare at him.

"Seraph and Hannah." He said slowly.

Alicia smile brightly.

"That's a nice name. They sound angelic unlike us."

"I doubt they are angel looking twins. They torment the rest of the house with their power."

Alicia gasped. Looking surprise. Not long, she can hear the sound of the maids wailing or sounded anxious while their grandparents are busy trying to do something about the chaotic scene.

"And,,,there goes the cue. That's your angelic twins." He grinned looking satisfied.

He really is a petty guy wanting to find every opportunity he can to get back at her. She decided probably it was best to rest some more before letting the others know that she's awake. With that, she nestled comfortably against Tristan and play dead. Tristan chuckled as he hold his wife contently.
