At home I quickly made a warm bath for Jaimie. Playing him in the baby bathing bowl, I started washing him.
He used his leg to flapp the water making it splashs everywhere. He shrieked delightfully, his innocent eyes glistening at me.
"Happy?" I asked him softly, as I bathe him. Smiling.
"Garrr!" He splashed water again. Those small eyes of his staring at me with so much happiness at the warmth of the water.
I remembered that close call on the road and my heart tugged at the thought of losing my baby and at the thought of me dying with no one to take good care of him like I do.
If not for the grace of God, my baby's life and I was almost cut short. If only the truck didn't suddenly swerved his hands, Jamie and I would have been something of the past.
My eyes became teary as I watched hi

Jaimie isn't exactly a tiny baby.Dannie had his own stroller even before he was born.So, while she cooked in the kitchen, I took the taxi and went to the nearest mall I could find. In the mall, I lifted a cart and started for the part of the mall where it was clearly written, "BABIES."As I made my way there, one of the workers came to me wearing a smile. "Are you looking for things to buy for your baby?"My baby? "Something like that." I answered gruffly. "A baby stroller.""Wow! We have the bests on sales. Please follow me, and I'll lead you right there." The woman was already walking and I followed her obligingly.&nb

It wasn't there before.Wait....isn't that a baby stroller? I turned and stared at Tanner, baffled."I went shopping for little Jaimie." Tanner said, seeming uncomfortable. He scratched his head a bit, "I thought he needed a few things."Shopping? For Jaimie?I came down from the bed and gingerly made my way closer to the most beautiful set of baby stuffs I've ever seen. The most beautiful baby stroller. Oh. My. God.Tears filled my eyes as I raised trembling hands to caress the things before me. I run my hand through the colorful big stroller.Tanner came closer to stand beside me. "I noticed that he doesn't have one, and your arm h

"What is it about this girl, Mark? We have saved women before from our missions but you never reacted this way." My voice was gentle and seeking."Those women aren't sixteen, beautiful and they definitely weren't in my house." He said flatly.I backpedaled, "I think there's something I'm not getting here. Are you attracted to her?He stared at me like I've lost my damn mind. The stare made me relax and cleared the doubts I almost had. "She's just a child. I'm thrity-two. Of course, I'm not attracted to her.""Then, what is it about her age and about her stay that's tying you in such a knot? Apart from your dislike for her gender th

The big guy that rescued me...Xazix... entered the room.I took in his night clothes and the blankets he had with him. Horror blanketed my face. He is going to sleep here with me!I sprang up from the bed, getting ready to bolt from the room. He saw my reaction and read the intent in my eyes."No, no, no. Calm down, Anya." He groaned.His words made me froze on the sport. I clutched the duvet protectively wrapped around my body, starting from my neck.For what I've being through in the whore house, I've come to know and understand what happens when a man sleeps in the same room with a woman.It is to have her body.

He kicked the prostitute that laid beside him but she slept dead to the world.Jasamina would have woken at the kick and scoop to the end of the bed to give him more than enough space on the damn bed.He hate-hate-hated that she run away and hasn't been found. His temper is more sore from the fact that that stupid bounty hunter hasn't answered his calls or tried to call back.I got up from the bed and strode to the spacious luxurious living room, to go stand by the window. He stared into the night.How did that girl survive staying out there? How the hell did she prefer it than coming back home to him and living in luxury?All she had to do was take care of his needs. Basic needs. But Jasamina had

I stared around and my eyes landed on the huge guy sleeping on the sofa. Mr. Xazix.I took the moment to stare at him so bashfully. Sitting up on the bed, I took in his features. So handsome and intimidating.I got up from the bed, careful not to allow my feet make a noise. I walked out of the door, closing it quietly behind me. It's still early morning, so I'm sure that everyone is sleeping.I feel so thirsty, so I made my way to the kitchen. I don't really know where the water is but I'll figure it out, instead of waking them up.I entered the kitchen and froze when I saw the man standing there in front of a coffeemaker. T

The reason why I told the X-man to keep the girl away from me was because I was very sure that I wouldn't want to be in her present.Now, inside the kitchen and in front of the coffeemaker, I stared at the girl with timid blue eyes, beautiful hair and a very delicate looking body, I felt a tug in my chest.She looks awfully familiar one minutes, and looks like a stranger she is, the next. I find that I don't want to depart from her presence. In fact, I want to know more."Now that I actually realize that I don't know your name dear. What is your name?" I asked her.She smiled softly. "It's Anya. Anya Vi—""Who do we have here this morning?" Xazix's voice interrupted, coming through the doorway before he entered into

I feel better that ever. Better than I've felt in a long time.I raised my arm and a smile split my lips when it didn't hurt an inch. When I didn't see Jaimie, I know that Tanner has him. I felt relieved the same time I felt guilty for burdening him that way.I took a few minutes to take a shower and freshen up before I joined them in the living room. There was food already in the dinning table and Jaimie was in his stroller playing with his toys and looking so focused."You came out just in time for breakfast." Tanner said as I walked deeper into the room. I greeted him and he greeted back. Then, we settled in on the small dinning table and started eat
