Were you mine? My Girl
Jake's POV "I can't do this, Jake. I can't leave him alone," Lea whispered, her voice trembling as we stood outside the pediatric intensive care unit. I had been trying to coax her to go back to her ward but she looked at me without those big, teary, eyes. The same eyes she had passed onto our son. Those eyes I cherished so much. Her eyes were red from crying, and she looked so fragile, so breakable."Lea, you need to rest," I said softly, my hand gently rubbing her arm. She flinched slightly but didn't pull away. "You can't keep going like this. You're exhausted."I insisted. " I can't rest," she shot back, shaking her head. "What if I fall asleep and something happens? What if I never see him again?" My heart ached seeing her like that. A sigh left my lips as I looked around for a better spot. The bench was not fit for her condition."Come with me," I urged, guiding her to a small, quiet room beside the PICU. I closed the door behind us so she could relax for awhile.The room
Were you mine? Confess
Lea sprang up at the sight of Elizabeth Rodgers, almost tumbling over the stand that carried her drip. Lea wasn't someone who ever felt hatred towards anybody. Not even Rosa. But Elizabeth Rodgers was an exception. If there was that one person in the whole wide world who had accomplished that feat, it was her. She hated Elizabeth Rodgers from the fibre of her existence. Ever since she had come across her aunt's journal, she had loathed the ones who were responsible for her family's demise. While acquiring her inheritance, she had learnt that how they were killed. They were killed in a car crash like she had always known but the brakes in the car were trampled with. When she did a little digging she came across the possibility that perhaps the truck that had crushed them was also commissioned to do so. It had been unbearable to even fathom the situation. So much so that, it was easier for Lea to actually get away from Jake that time. His face reminded her of his mother and what she
Were you mine? Connection
" I would have never killed them... never could have because...... because, I was in love with your father. And so was he!" " What nonsense are you spewing woman! " Lea literally knocked off the stand with the drip as she stood up. " It's true. It took me a lot of courage to confess. I have seen many men over the years. Even after I was married, I never had any dearth in men. Your father, however, was different. He was the only one who ever touched my soul. He was the only one who made me want to talk to him all night instead of having sex. " Lea's eyes and ears were about to pop out. It was difficult to hear and imagine such things about one's own parents. " Our meetings were regular and intense. It gave me the high, that I always wanted. So much so that I proposed marriage. It was at this point that I realised, Richard's feelings towards me had changed. I confronted him and learnt that it was because his wife, was pregnant. She was expecting you. Richard wanted to end everything

The minutes passed very slow as they waited outside the PICU. Lea lunged at Phill the moment he came out . "How is he? How's Kai?" Lea's voice trembled as she gripped Phill's arm. "Can we see him,now?" She added, trying to peek past Phill into the room. Phill grabbed her shoulders and held her down, before looking up at Jake. Mercy stepped forward,noticing the grim expression on Phill's face. "Why do you look like that, Phill? What's wrong?" she asked. Phill ignored her and turned his attention back to Lea. "You can't see him right now," he said softly. "Kai's awake, but... there's a problem." Lea's face fell, panic seeping into her eyes. "What do you mean? What's going on?What happened to my, Kai? " Phill looked at her with apologetic eyes before turning to face Jake. "We ran some tests and found out that Kai's liver is in acute failure. It's because of toxic shock.We need to do a transplant as soon as possible to save him."Lea's knees buckled, and she collapsed into Jake's arm
Were you mine? Comfort
Lea's POV " Kai... " The moment my eyes opened I threw my hands in all directions, trying to get up and look for Kai. But i didn't have to look much further. He was right across and I could see him in the other room. My baby was latched to the beeping machines with pipes and wires and what not. And right beside him was Phill. He sat at his head side, his hand gently gliding up and down through his hair. Phill turned towards me with a smile when he realised I was up. My head was still groggy because of the sedative the nurse had injected me with but I was feeling all better and alright. " Lea, you are up! Are you feeling alright? "He asked me with that infectious smile. I should have been the one to ask him that question. He was the one with a wound. He had just saved my child's life all over again, perhaps for the zillionth time. " I am fine. How are you feeling? How is Kai holding up?" I walked towards where he was. He was in a wheelchair, I noticed when I went near. He
Were you mine? Promise
Phill's POV I had to do it. I knew how much I was going to suffer after that kiss ended. I didn't want it to end. I didn't want to let go of her hand. I didn't want to see her with anyone else, even if it was my own brother. I knew I was finally letting the dam break. I had been holding back way too long I couldn't do it anymore. I had to let her know. The moment her taste touched me, I lost track of everything. I lost control of myself. I lost my sense of the place. I kissed her and she let me and I was grateful for that. I was half expecting her to shove me back but she didn't. She held me, held my hand as I took from her what I needed. My life force. She was like an EpiPen bringing me back to life. " Phill... " She finally mumbled against my lips, her hands on my chest, gently holding them but not pushing. It took way too much of my energy to stop and finally look up at her face. I couldn't read her expression. Was it shock, fear, disgust, sympathy.... I could not understan
Were you mine? U-turn
Jake's POV " Of course you get that job, whether you like it or not. " I wasn't even lying. Who better than Phil to look after my little one. I knew he would always have his back, no matter what. Phill chuckled before turning around. " By the way, did you sign the papers before coming inside? " He asked me and it took me off guard. " Papers? What papers? " " Discharge papers. Didn't they tell you before you entered? " He made a disappointed face and looked out of the door even though he could see no one. " These incompetent workers. They can't get one thing... " " Discharge papers? Who is getting discharged? I thought you needed around a week to recover. " Lea interrupted looking straight at Phill. " I am not getting discharged. You are! " Phill pointed at Lea but she stood up. " Me? Oh, alright. Makes sense. " Phill turned his gaze back to me and said, " Get the paper works done and take her home. I think I need to get some sleep... " " Take who home? " Lea stood face t
Were you mine? Scared
Jake's POV " Yes, we are coming right now. Yes please. Keep the keys ready. " I called the old watchman because it had been ages since I last went there. Lea hadn't spoken for the rest of the drive and I knew for certain there was something cooking in her little head. I wasn't complaining. She had been through a lot and I was happy to be of any serve to her, any use... anything to make my Lea happy again. Make her smile and dance like when she was a little girl. My crazy, sweet, innocent Lea. She had been leaning on the seat but as soon as we entered the driveway towards the apartment she sat up, rolled down the window and stretched her neck out. " Lea, careful... " I tried to pull her back but she opened the car door before I could pull up and made a run for it. I tossed the keys to the valley with much frustration and ran after her. " Lea, wait" She topped right in front of the elevator and turned around. I was running so fast, I almost banged into her. She pulled my hand int
