Nadia liked silence, in fact, she enjoyed the lonely silent hours when Luke was asleep and she was left to her own devices at night. When Dean was moving in with her, she was certain that she was going to lose that pleasure.

But she was finding out that she was wrong. As they drove in silence, Nadia let the warmth of Dean’s hand seep into hers as she watched the street lights go by. So far their moments of silence were filled with thoughts and maybe awkwardness, but before she knew it they weren’t like that anymore.

As Dean parked the car, and picked Luke’s listless body into his arms, she watched the heartwarming scene as Luke unconsciously circled his arms around his neck. Slowly patting his back, he turned toward her reaching out with one hand which she gladly took as they walked toward the elevator.

Dean took care of Luke’s routine as she popped her head into the room watching over them. The moment she saw him stare into his sleeping face deep in thought, then lean forward pressin

    Nadia tapped on the keyboard not really knowing what she was doing. She was working in automatic since that morning. The bitter sweetness of their encounter still left her shocked, why did she relive the moment she had been with Luke’s biological father in that particular moment? Admittedly those two were the only sexual encounters she ever had in her life, so perhaps the memories of last night might have provoked her memory from five years ago, although she barely remembered anything about it all this time.Flexing her fingers, Nadia resolutely resumed typing in the keyboard trying to concentrate this time. But soon she grew nasty as her mind kept wandering back to last night.Dean had been amazing, attentive and passionate, it was as if he knew exactly what she needed and he gave it to her. Their night was filled with passion and it was all about fulfilling their desires, but Nadia could remember moments when she just couldn’t believe this was actually happening.They would stare i

    Dean sighed as soon as the elevator door closed behind him. His mother persistently wanted to know every detail about what made the relationship between him and Nadia change.She was obsessed with meddling with them by now and Dean grew more certain that he wouldn't be able to keep up with her if things went on like this. He needed a plan, maybe his father would help... Although the man refused to partake in any activity that would put him on her bad side.His father often said that the secret to a happy marriage is a happy wife, and sometimes he took that quite literally.As the elevator door opened, Dean stepped forward only to hear the squealing of tires against the ground as a car sped up in front of him almost hitting him on the way as it escaped the garage.A shiver ran down his spine as he walked farther into the silent parking lot. Something was wrong. That car was running away, where were Nadia and Luke?His answer came as soon as he stepped toward his car. Nadia's listless b

    "What were you thinking?! Giving her work when she's clearly not in the state to do so!" Dean's mother said as soon as they left the room leaving Nadia alone for a while."We have no choice, mother. No one can do what she does as fast as she does it.” Dean explained but his mother looked like she had more to say about this, so he added, “She's a genius and now she is the chance to use that genius to save her son. What do you think she would do later if we hold her back now?" Dean asked.His mother was startled as she looked down in distress." She would despise us..." She trailed off looking conflicted.His father then sighed and put his hand on her shoulder making her look at him.“Honey, Nadia, and Dean know what they’re doing. Why don't we let them do what's best for them? It doesn't seem like they will need us here for a while, let's go get you a cup of tea to calm you down,"His mother reluctantly nodded and Dean took a deep breath of relief.

    "I don't know how they managed to change cars I chased the black sedan straight into the warehouse," Miller said through the phone sounding frustrated.Nadia sighed as she typed on the laptop, she didn't have the time for this. Answering Miller's stupid questions was the last thing she needed. But she had to explain to him to help put him in the right context. For the sake of finding Luke faster."That's because the black sedan never had Luke and Kate in the first place. They used it as a decoy," She explained slowly, "Most of the cars I'm tracking now are black sedans or ones that look like it.""I see... So the one Dean saw in the first place was just a decoy. We couldn't see anything through the CCTV footage except for the car speeding out of the parking lot. More importantly. The goon we caught was a total skip. He didn't know anything and was just paid to drive around in the car," Miller said and Nadia clenched her teeth.She figured that finding the other decoys would lead to th

    “We’re almost there,” Dean said through the speaker,“I can see…” Nadia trailed off as she stared at the monitor before her, tapping her foot impatiently against the floor. They were almost getting to the entrance to the apartment complex where Kate was supposedly holding Luke hostage. As they reached the main door, Nadia could see through the drone that there was an electric door.“We need to look for the building’s manager to get him to open the door for us…” Dean trailed off.“ No need. Connect the drone to the door. I wil open it. You have to cover for me Miller,” She stated and the man chuckled.“You’re saying this after breaking over a hundred laws. You’re driving a hard bargain, Nadia…” He trailed off.“Well, you’re driving a hard bargain too asking me to do your work for you…” She informed him and he sighed.“Alright, alright. Just open the damn door.” Miller said and Nadia found herself smiling slightly.As Dean connected the Drone to the door. Nadia’s fingers flew over the

    “Good, she should be here any moment now," Mark said as he looked at his wristwatch.Nadia stood at the side, watching the man in silence. He had sneaked into her hospital room, telling her to dress herself and follow him.He barely said anything important all the way here he just chatted about anything and everything, as if they were together that Morning and I were just discussing how their day went as they did back when they were together…Mark didn’t seem to act any different from back then which gave her this creepy sunset danger. Something was seriously wrong, with the situation, but there was nothing she could do about it.She had taken a moment when she was changing into her clothes to text Jean and tell him not to come, but as soon as she was out, Mark asked for her phone and took it away from her.“ Who should be here any moment now?” Nadia asked feeling a foreboding sensation, as if she was standing there, waiting for the start to come.Mark simply smiled at her and then pi

    Nadia stared at Luke’s face as he slept on her lap, softly brushing his curls away from his forehead. He was sleeping so peacefully that she found herself, smiling softly, filled with peace, at seeing her son safe in her arms.After doing their tests, the doctor had informed her that Luke was only asleep because they had given him sleeping pills. There weren’t any signs of him, being hurt or otherwise abused, but Nadia knew the trauma of him being taken away from them was going to take a while to heal both for Luke, and for her.Nadia also knew that his being safe was probably thanks to the man who asked Dean to help his daughter. The man was still in the ICU after getting shot by Kate. But Nadia had already made up her mind to protect this man’s daughter and help her no matter the outcome of his condition.The door to the room slid open slightly revealing Dean.“How is she?” Nadia asked softly as he came into the room.Dean looked at her shaking his head, his blue eyes holding hers

    Nadia walked into her penthouse holding the bag in one hnad as she kept the door open for Dean who was holding Luke in his arms. They were both finally discharged from the hospital and going home. Luke seemed excited to be back home but he was still holding on to Dean's shirt in a death grip.Nadia learned that he would no linger go anywhere without one of them by his side. Not even the bathroom, and his night terrors were so bad that Nadia and Dean barely slept the past few nights.To think that her ourgoing innocent child would become like this. She had a hard time controlling her anger and self blame about this situation."Come in, Mommy! Hurry!" Luke said anxiously as he peeked at her from Dean's shoulder."Im coming sweetheart," She answered with a smile as she looked at the relief coursing through her son's face.He was displaying a grand variety of anxiety symptoms.

    Nadia woke up with a start breathing heavily as sweat dampened her temple. Feeling someone shift beside her, she shivered at the whisk of air passing through her damp skin as Dean sat up in bed beside her.“Hey…” he whispered and Nadia sighed covering her face with her palms.“I’m so tired of this…” she said hotly as she tried to suppress the frustration tears that threatened to fall down her cheeks.She felt a blanket being thrown on her shoulders before Dean’s big and warm hands stroked her back slowly soothing away the nerves that had been keeping her body tense.“Come on, lay down…” he said in a soft tone and Nadia followed his command laying against him as he circled his arms around her.His fingers combed through her hair slowly massaging her skull. Her heartbeat was begin in to slowly return to its natural rhythm when he finally spoke again.“Maybe you need to say your goodbyes..” he said slowly.The way Dean spoke and how he acted was becoming their routine.

    Three weeks later, "So, how was your last check-up with the doctor?" Nadia asked as she sat at the bedside of the huge man before her.The man chucked and gave her a wry look as if asking her if she was really asking him this question."I should be the one asking you this question, Miss. You're the one who got admitted recently," he said with a smile."Oh, come on, Blake! Mine was just a flesh wound and too much drama. You're the one who was about to cross to the other side for a moment there," She answered with a fake frown.Blake, the man who saved Luke when he was kidnapped, regained consciousness only after Nadia was admitted to the hospital. The first thing the man asked for was his hospitalized daughter and Luke.Nadia had made a vow to herself that she would do her best to protect the man and his daughter no matter what. So once she heard that he was awake, she visited him and they began talking. It turned out that the man wasn't a criminal and that he only did this mission b

    Dean raced down the seemingly endless corridor, each step echoing with a sense of dread. This floor had been reserved exclusively for Nadia's penthouse, accessible only with her permission or a special keycard. Yet, Dean knew that Mark had the potential to breach the security. Nadia had been aware of this vulnerability in the system, which was why she'd consented to have a bodyguard with them at all times.But Miller, in his attempt to spring this trap, had incapacitated their bodyguard, leaving them vulnerable just when Mark arrived. As they approached the open door, Dean's heart raced with a mix of fear and determination. Agents ahead of him cautiously entered the room, assessing the situation. When Dean was finally permitted to move forward, the sound that greeted him was heart-wrenching.Nadia's muffled sobs pierced the air, a stark contrast to the chaos within. Mark lay on the ground, his face a grotesque mask of brutality. Nadia was in Karl's arms, her tears flowing uncontrollab

    "It's nice to see you always running to the rescue of your fiance... But we can't have you going in there ruining our plans yet," Miller said with a smile as he looked at his agents and nodded."Make sure they won't run away," he ordered."Hey! What are you doing!" Keith protested as they surrounded him."You were in on this all along..." Dean said gritting his teeth as he struggled against the agents that were holding his hands back.How had he not seen this?"Wait a minute, What are you talking about?" Miller asked looking at him with a frown."You're acting like nothing is wrong, then why are you standing at the door of our apartment building stopping me from getting inside? Is the agency now supporting Mark, or were you on his side all along and we were the idiots believing you?" Dean asked feeling helplessly frustrated as he pushed back against the men holding him only to be overpowered again."Wait a minute, I think there is a misunderstanding here..." Miller trailed off and Dea

    "Dad, call the bodyguards and make sure to keep an eye on Luke!" Dean told his father as he made his way to the front of the house where he parked his car."What's going on?" He asked following him."Mark managed to escape from the police. The first place he would be heading to is where Nadia is. I need to head there right now," Dean explained and his father nodded."Okay, be careful. I will call the police to make their way there too." His father said as he closed Dean's car door after he got in.Dean nodded and started his car starting to back up when the passenger door opened and Keith jumped inside."Think that I would let you go alone this time too?" He asked with a smirk."It's gonna be dangerous," Dean warned."The more reason I need to go with you," Keith insisted, "What are you waiting for?"Dean sighed and backed away from the spot making his way toward the penthouse. He sped through the street his car eating up the road between them. He had never regretted the distance bet

    Nadia opened her eyes as she felt someone lean against the bed beside her. Looking up, she found Dean smiling down at her the sunlight streaming through the window making him look as if there was a halo around his head.Groaning, she shidted to her back readying herself to cover her face with the blanket only for him to stop her with both arms."You need to wake up," He said softly."Said the guy who wore me out last night," She retorted with a sigh, "You're way too bright for me to look at, go away,"He chuckled finding her statement funny, even though she wasn't joking."It's already noon, you're going to sleep all day at this rate," He informed her but she simply shook her head stubbornly."I can't move... My muscles are sore," She complained.Dean smiled and leaned down against her pressing a kiss against her neck, right where he left a mark last night."Realy? Even though I went easy on you last night. I was having such a hard time holding back while you called out my name, in mo

    "Oh, it's finally here..." Nadia remarked as she walked past Dean at the kitchen counter. He nodded absently as he stared at the test making Nadia wonder for a moment if there was something wrong with it. Leaning over his shoulder, she could see the positive green letters standing out like neon lights in the darkness."It's positive," She stated."Yeah..." He said with a satisfied smile kissing the palm of her hand as he resumed staring at the paper. Nadia smiled shaking her head at the man, he was just way too cute. Ruffling his hair, she resumed walking toward Luke's room to see if he was ready."He should be here anytime now," She informed Dean who nodded again not moving from his spot.Nadia found Luke in a similar state to his father bent over his toy his shoes and socks only half worn."Luke! You're supposed to wear your socks. Our guests will be here any moment," She said with a smile."Who's our guest?" Luke asked as he finished wearing his socks."It's my father..." Nadia s

    "You..." Dean took an exasperated breath letting it out slowly..Nadia sat on the couch uncomfortable as she looked away from him. She was readying herself for another scolding when she felt a hand on her head softly patting it. Dean was looking at her with a gentle smile."If this is going to give you some peace of mind then by all means, let them meet. But I don't want you to do it at the expense of your feelings," Dean reassured her."I want Luke to meet him and know that he has a grandfather... But I can't bring myself to trust him. I don't believe that someone can change like that overnight..." She explained.Dean leaned back and she leaned against him snuggling into his arms."I always thought that it was strange that your father seemed to always think that he was the victim. It was as if he felt like he was betrayed by you but in fact it was Kate who was lying to him about you all the time. Perhaps he was never that bad of a person in the first place..." Dean said, then he corr

    Standing before the hole in the ground, Nadia was filled with so many thoughts and feelings. One of them was that she was probably a hypocrite standing there wearing black and listening intently to the prayers of a man who knew nothing.Another thought is that... Well... It was sunny. Nadia always had this conception that it never was sunny on funerals, it was always raining or gloomily grey. But no, it wasn't, it was sunny, and flowers were blooming around while butterflies were mating. Burds chirping and most of all... it was warm and pleasant.To sum it up, it was the weather that destroyed her conception of funerals...Nadia watched silently as they started lowering the coffin to the ground. The coffin was made from dark wood. One Kate would have hated. And decorated with white spider lilies. Kate hated white. She always said it wasn't a color. Although she would conveniently wear it whenever she felt like the situation would require from her to add a flare of innocence. Mainly w
