As Beatrice exited the hut, she became anxious.

Something wasn’t sitting right with Beatrice. His words was bothering her. What does he mean leaning his head on her breasts. Did he do something to her last night. Did they do something together? She bit her fingernails. She started pacing in front of the hut trying to think.

Beatrice’s eyes widened. “Or what did he do with her last night,” she thought. With worries she rushed over to Jack.

“Let go Joshua,” said Emily. She loosened his grip and lifted his head to her.

Joshua smiled as he looked at her.

“You did that on purpose didn’t you?”

Joshua shrugged and acted innocent. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“Honestly?” asked Emily, looking into his eyes.

Joshua smiled and gently shook his head, “I’m not sure what you’re asking.”

Emily gasped he was lying. She pushed him away from her.

Joshua slumped and fell next to her, hitting his head. Thump. He groaned, “Ouch. Ow, my head.”

Emily panicked as she didn’t think he w

    Joshua’s right hand was on her breast, and he was ready to pull down her shirt to ask her about his love marks. Confronting her. Demanding her to admit their love making. “I know right,” said John, talking loudly outside the door of the hut. Emily gasped as her uncles and aunt were coming inside. She pulled herself free from Joshua. “Nothing happened. Keep that in mind.” Joshua frowned as he looked at her. “Damn it woman, you want me to force you?” he thought. “Why? Why do you keep lying to me?”Emily fixed her shirt and looked appropriate again as her uncles walked in.As Emily was fixing herself, Joshua could clearly see all of the bites and the hickeys he left on her breasts and body. Proof that he loved her. His desires for her. How deep his lust is for her as he sink his teeth into her skin. How much he wanted to make her his that he marked her with the dark red hater mark. “Damn it why did they have to come. I got lots of things to say to my little ex-wife,” he thought. “Em

    Another paramedic walked in. He was a middle-aged man. His name was Henry. “My name is Henry. I am sorry about what happened earlier.” “Not your fault,” said, Joshua. He was trying to get up from Emily but was struggling as his legs were sore. “Are you okay?” asked the older paramedic, noticing Joshua’s wobble. “Yeah. I’m not sure why I’m so sore,” said Joshua, limping. “Well, you probably strain yourself when you were swimming in the river.” “Oh, how so?” “Well, I mean when your body is in a panic when you’re in that freezing water. So, you use every ounces of your muscles and energy to stay alive. Your legs were probably using muscles they haven’t used in a long time, so that’s probably why you’re aching.” “Odd,” said Joshua. “Do you exercise on a daily basis?” asked the older paramedic. “Yes. Yes, I do. Nearly every day. I’m pretty fit.” “For sure. I can see that. But then you lose it all son when you get married and have kids.” The older paramedic tapping his belly. Emi

    “What?” asked Emily. “Well, it’s just that were at the bottom of the mountain. So, it’s impossible for the vehicle to get down here. “Oh.” “So, we had the paramedics coming down here first.” “I see.” “The thing is it’s quite a walk back up,” said Jordan. “I can walk.” Joshua knows Emily, she won’t make it to the top nor halfway. He walked up in front of her and crouched down in front of her. “Get on,” said Joshua. “What?” asked Emily. “I will carry you.” Emily frowned at him. “What?” asked Joshua, turning his head to him. “Bro, you’re injured and in pain. I will carry her,” said John. “I’m fine after the painkiller,” said Joshua, reassuring everyone that he was fine. “Come on, Emily,” said Jordan. “Get on John’s back.” “If not, she can always go on my back,” said Jack. Joshua refusing anyone to carry her but him, grabbed a hold of Emily’s arms and shuffled her onto his back. “Joshua-Joshua?” questioned Emily as Joshua was putting her on his back. “Up you go,” said

    Beatrice thought it was strange how they both carried on their conversation so well with each other. Talking to each other like no one else was around them. As if no one else matters but them. She sighs as she thinks that their past seems to be much sweeter than she realized. Even more than what they both realized. That they were in a teenager stage of sweet love. Right up to when they were married, they were caring and loving who didn’t realize their love had blossomed. “We’re nearly there,” said Joshua, sweating profusely from his forehead and neck. “Hey, you, okay?” asked Henry.“Yeah, I’m okay,” said Joshua, squeezing his eyes tightly. “You sure?”Joshua nodded his head. “Shit, the pain medication is wearing off,” he thought. “I need to hurry and carry her to the ambulance. For I won’t let anyone else touched her but me.” Emily edging herself forward to the edge of his neck said, “Are you okay?”“Humm?”“Are you okay?” “Yeah… I’m okay,” grunted Joshua. Emily noticing the sw

    “What? What’s this?” asked Beatrice, huffing from the climb. “Get out of here!” shouted Joshua. “Josh-Joshua,” said Megan, taken back by his shout. “Leave.” “I’m- I’m sorry.” “Go back to your home.” Emily frowned. “Back to her home? Wait. What? Don’t they live together?” she thought. “What about the baby? What about her child? What about their child together?” Megan panted angrily and stomped away. “Pfft, what an annoying woman,” said Jordan. “Yeah, for sure. What a bad ass attitude too,” said John. Joshua sighed and said, “Don’t worry about her Emily. Just focus on yourself.” “Huh?” asked Emily. She thought it was strange how Joshua was just plainly ignoring Megan. The woman he loves. Joshua looked at her and said, “What? What is it?” “Nothing,” said Emily, looking away from gaze. Joshua chuckled silently and brushed her hair behind her ears. “Don’t you worry little one, everything will come to light soon enough.” Emily frowned at his words and said, “What?” Joshua chu

    When they arrived at the hospital Vicky was there waiting for Joshua.“Oh, Joshua!” exclaimed his mother.“Mother,” said Joshua.“Oh, son, are you okay?” she asked.“I’m fine.”Vicky looked at Emily and said, “Are you okay too?”Emily nodded her head. “Yes. I’m fine.”“Well, that’s good,” cried Vicky.“Mother, why are you crying.”“It’s just that, you know…”Joshua chuckled.“Oh, come on, Vicky, he’s a strong and fine fellow he will be fine,” said Mr. Watson, patting Vicky on the back.“Yes. I know. It’s just that after I lost my husband, he was all that I had. All through the struggle and hardship he gave me hope. That’s all,” said Vicky, wiping her tears.“Struggle? Hardship?” thought Emily. She didn’t know that Joshua lived a hard life. She thought that he was born quite well off. Is that not what the rumors were all about.“I know. I know what it’s like to raise your kid all on your own. The sacrifice. The undying love and care we have for them. What we could never express enough

    NEXT FOLLOWING MORNINGIt was seven thirty in the morning when Joshua heard the voices of the outside their door.Joshua groaned as he stretched.Emily stirred to the sound of his noise.Joshua yawn loudly and asked, “What time is it?”Emily looked at the clock. “It’s half past seven. Nearly eight o’clock soon.”“Oh, shift change, huh?”“Yeah, I guess so.”Joshua turned around to look at Emily and grinned at her and said, “How was your sleep?”“Um, I’m good.”“You slept like a baby last night.”Emily scoffed and said, “You mean you slept like one. You’re the one who knocked out the moment your head hit the pillow.”“Oh, did I?”“Yes.”“Funny, I thought you slept first.”“Yeah right. You were the one snoring away over there.”“So, should I come over there to help you get some more sleep?”Emily gasped. “Don’t you dare. There are people around now.”“So? If there’s no one we can do it?”“No-No.”Joshua chuckled loudly.“Keep your hands to yourself.”“I can’t help it. I see you and I wan

    “Well?” asked Beatrice. “Auntie- Auntie, it’s not what you think,” stumbled Emily. “Miss Miller, if you may please-” said Joshua. Beatrice sighs. “It looks like you’re doing well.” She turned her head to where she was looking at both of them. “The both of you two,” she said, with a scowling look. “Oh, um… I guess you could say that,” said Joshua. “I just spoke to the doctors. It looks like your bloodwork is good, so you will be discharged first thing this morning,” said Beatrice, tilting Emily’s head sideways and up and down. “Oh, that’s good news.” “Yes. Good news indeed. It’s best if you can come home soon so you can take better rest there. Not to mention more care.” “Alright.” “Not only that but it will keep your grandfather’s mind at rest instead of having me called you every two hours checking up on your status here in the hospital. “Every two hours?” asked Emily, with her eyes widened. “Yes. Why? Did something happened?” “No,” blushed Emily. “Nothing happened.” Be

    “Emily are you sure you don’t want the epidural?” asked Joshua, biting his nails.“NO! I want this to be an all-natural birth. “After this one I will have it,” groaned Emily as another wave of contractions was coming.“Okay, let’s do this little one. Let’s bring our baby into the world.”Emily nodded while trying to hold back her voice.After an hour of labor their first born cries echoed the room.“How is she so quiet?” asked Vicky. She was pacing back and forth.“You weren’t?” asked Beatrice.Vicky shook her head. “I was screaming bloody hell.”Daniel was laughing at Vicky’s comment. John cleared his throat and said, “Some women tends to find it more reserve on not screaming.”“Well, I guess I wasn’t,” said Vicky, biting her fingernails. The nurses and doctors were all coming out of the room. “Have the baby come yet?” asked Daniel.One of the nurse who was attending to Emily’s need answered, “Yes.” Everyone was exclaiming with joy. Thirty minutes later Joshua brought out the ba

    “I’m scared,” said Emily. She was looking wearily at Joshua one morning in their bed.Joshua woke up to Emily’s worried voice and said, “What are you worry about, little one?” He stroked her hair to try to soothe her. Last night he heard her groaning and moaning. He thought she was just having a bad dream, but it turned out it was contractions. She was going into labor. He was surprised that she was handling it rather well. Even he himself was surprised that he was handling everything rather calmly.In his head he imagined it a hundred times of seeing Emily going to labor and having contractions. He see himself as panicking and worrying himself half to death. But he knows that he needs to be the one who will have to remain calm to ease Emily’s worry away. It’s her who’s going into labor not him. He doesn’t have to deal with any pain or bleeding so he should do his best to relax. He needs to be her strength.

    “This calls for a celebration,” said Daniel.“Yes, it sure does,” said Jack. He took out some shot glasses and poured some liquor into them. He handed everyone a cup.“Umm,” said Emily, she looked at Joshua as the liquor brought back horrible memories.Joshua noticing Emily’s grim look said, “Don’t think too much, it’s your family. They wouldn’t drug us. Or try to do anything horrible.”Emily tried to wave their past aside.Joshua tightened his hold on her and said, “Plus, it’s to congratulate us,” he whispers.Emily’s face brightened at the comfort of her husband’s words. “You’re right, it’s time we let go of the past.”“Yes, let’s start anew yeah?”“We should. It’s been a very, very long time and it’s about time that we both moved forward.”“Yes, from this day forward no more secrets.”“Alright.”“Cheers!” exclaimed Jack.

    “Of course, heaven-” said Daniel sounding excited and also frustrated as he couldn’t wait any longer for the results. “You two now waving around the baby’s gender in front of an old man’s face making me eager to know. And if you two aren’t going to tell me, that is just cruel. Especially leaving me like this, hanging, I can’t bear it. Absolutely not. I have to know,” grunted Daniel, with much need to know if it’s a boy or a girl.“Alright, let’s do it,” said Emily. “Everyone is here.”“That’s right,” said Vicky stepping behind Joshua and Emily.“Mother,” said Joshua.“Vicky,” said Emily.Vicky looked at Emily and corrected her, “Mother.”“Oh, mother,” said Emily, smiling at Vicky.“Go on, let us know what you two are having?”Joshua flipped through the paperwork and frowned.“What?” asked Vicky.“What?” questioned Emily, following Vicky’s same word.“What is it?” asked Daniel, nearly shaking with excitement.“Go on, do tell,” said Beatrice.Emily leaned into Joshua and saw the photo a

    “Emily!” exclaimed Daniel. He hugged his granddaughter with open arms. “Oh, thank god you’re safe.”“Yes. I’m alright,” said Emily, with saddened eyes.“What’s wrong?” asked Daniel, noticing her teary expression. He looked at Joshua. Joshua sighs as Emily was about to tell him what she almost did.“Grandfather, I almost- I almost made a mistake last night.”“That is-”Daniel, doing what he usually does, held up his hands and said, “Stop! I don’t want to hear about it. As long as you and my great grand kid is fine, that’s all that matters.”Emily bit her lower lips as she wanted to tell him but since he didn’t want to know she was relieved as she didn’t have to disappoint him with her near failure of a granddaughter’s actions.Joshua held her closely against his body. “It’s alright Emily. He forgave you.”Emily nodded her head.“Emily, you’re really a headache. I swear, raising the five boys was not even as hard as raising you, the only girl among the family,” said Daniel, pointing his

    There was a loud knock on the door and Joshua woke to the sound.“Who’s that?” asked Emily. She pulled the blanket over her naked body.“I don’t know,” said Joshua. He got up and said, “Stay here.” He went to peek out the window. It was her uncles and her grandfather.Emily was looking around for her clothes, but they were scattered all over the floors and she was picking them up one piece at a time to put them on.“Your family is here,” said Joshua, kissing her on the forehead.“What? Really?”“Yes. Put on your clothes. I will go talk to them.”“Alright,” said Emily, putting on her bra and slipping on her thong.“Joshua, you won’t- You won’t argue with them, right?”“No, but I do need to let them know that I intend to make my vows in front of them.”Emily smiled sweetly at him.“I intend to keep you. No more separation.”“Okay, I will follow once I’m done.”Joshua nodded his head. He put on his sweats and didn’t even bother to put on his boxer. He slipped his jacket over him and walk

    Emily stepped into the water. She felt her baby kicking as her feet touched the cold water. She started to tremble in the freezing water. Last year during this time Joshua saved her from drowning. How she wished he didn’t. Maybe if he didn’t, she wouldn’t have hurt so much as she is today. Her legs edge her into the deeper end of the water. Joshua, seeing Emily going into the water, panicked. She can’t swim. “Oh, what if she is trying to commit suicide. Is she trying to take herself out by drowning?” he questioned. His heart races as he thought of seeing her lifeless body floating in the water. Fear gripped his heart. He ran to her with every ounce of breath he had. Taking off as fast as he could like a shooting star. He was screaming out her name, “EMILY!”Emily froze as she thought she heard Joshua’s voice. But then a faint smile came upon her face as she thought it wasn’t him. It was just her imagination. He couldn’t be there. Not in a million chances. After what he said to her th

    “Huh? Done what?” questioned Joshua. “She text all of us about leaving,” said John, walking behind Jack. “What?” asked Joshua. Then suddenly his phone ding. He also got a message from Emily. On the message says, “I am leaving. Don’t look for me. Don’t search for me. I will be with my baby now. Love Emily. Joshua shook his head in confusion. This morning, they were just talking. She didn’t say anything about going anywhere. And if she did, she couldn’t have gone far. She wouldn’t do anything to harm herself or her baby. She love that little growth inside of her as much as she loves him. She wouldn’t do anything to make the both of them regret. That is especially him. Then he thought back to what Emily said to him before he left. “Oh no, is she really going to make me live a life of regret?” he thought. “What happened?” asked Jack. “What do you mean what happened?” questioned Joshua, wanting to punch the shit out of this man. “Emily was so happy this morning that she was going t
