"What are you laughing at?" He chuckled.She shook her head and chuckled again."Nothing, really. Just thinking." She replied honestly.He nodded his head in acknowledgement as they walked along. They walked for about fifteen minutes before he stopped."We should go somewhere else." He said seriously."Where?" She wondered."Somewhere far, so that we won't be disturbed by people." He explained."Why? Are you afraid we might be interrupted by other people?" She asked him curiously."I just want some privacy. I want us to be alone." He stated, looking down at her lovingly.She nodded her head and gave him a quick hug before letting go of him."Do you know where I want to go?" She asked.He shrugged his shoulders. "Anywhere you wish." He said nonchalantly.She laughed lightly, shaking her head, and began to walk ahead of him. He followed her quickly behind her. She turned left, and they continued walking for a couple of minutes longer. Then they suddenly came to a halt. He turned his bo
"So you can't be with me, because I'll end up getting hurt and I don't want you to get hurt as well. I don't want to have a wife that would eventually get tired of me and leave me." He finished quietly.She looked at him in disbelief for a few seconds. Before she could respond, he spoke again."And that's why I asked you to wait until tomorrow to propose to me." He whispered.She stood there for several seconds, staring at him. Finally, she spoke."Is it always like this?" She asked hesitantly."Like what?" He asked confused."This..." She mumbled slowly."What do you mean?" He inquired cautiously.She sighed heavily."This...the constant talking about things that don't really matter. The fact that you never say anything about what actually matters to you." She mumbled.She knew that she shouldn't have said any of that, but it was all coming out of her mouth at the moment. He remained silent for several seconds after she'd spoken. She was starting to grow nervous, knowing that he was
"It's been quite a while since my surgery. I still can't walk for more than a few steps without wincing in pain every time I try." She responded.He nodded slowly, biting down on his bottom lip."Do you want some food?" He asked worriedly.She blinked at him confusedly."Umm, yeah." She replied hesitantly.He smiled widely at her and got up from the couch, standing up straight."Alright. I'll be back with something to eat." He chuckled.He leaned down and pressed one final soft kiss against her temple before exiting her bedroom.After he left, she let out a heavy sigh and rested her back against the couch. She looked around her and realized that her room was similar to his room. It had the same color scheme. The bed sheets were white and her curtains were black. She frowned slightly when she thought back to when the accident happened. It seemed to happen so fast then. It felt like just yesterday that she had woken up to find out that she was pregnant with her child. And now here the
Both of their heads shot forward to see who the person was that spoke. His jaw dropped when he saw who it was. Standing right next to him was a beautiful young woman. She had light brown hair which reached down to her waist and a pair of hazel eyes which were shining brightly underneath her messy hair. He narrowed his eyes as he stared at the man standing next to her. He was wearing a dark blue turtleneck sweater and jeans."Hello son." The man greeted calmly.Sergio's heart pounded loudly in his chest as he stared at both men. His blood ran cold."Where have you been, Dad?" He whispered quietly.The man smiled warmly at him."Well, I went to meet your mother." He answered honestly.Sergio's eyes widened in shock. "Mother?" He exclaimed.His father nodded slowly, placing a hand on Serena's shoulder."Yes, she wants to meet you." He explained simply."No." Sergio mumbled stubbornly.The man frowned slightly."Son, she wants to meet you." He repeated sternly.Sergio clenched his fist
"I know." She whispered.Tobin sighed shakily."What were you thinking, Serena Why did you kiss me? I was upset." He said."I know..." She responded quietly."I wish you would've just told me what was wrong. We could've fixed it. We could've figured something out."She swallowed hard and shook her head slowly."There was nothing to fix. Nothing happened." She argued.Sergio sighed deeply once again."But we need to work on this, Serena." He insisted."Work on what?" She asked him skeptically."Working on how to be happy again." He answered.She smiled weakly at him."You already know how." She told him."Maybe we should try." He suggested."Maybe together we could be more than we ever thought possible. We could have a family again. A real family. Where we belong."A small smile tugged at the corners of her lips."Together." She breathed.Sergio stared into her eyes lovingly."So that's a yes?" He asked hopefully."Of course, Sergio." She replied calmly."Good. Then come here." He said
"Where did you get these?" He asked.Serena shrugged."I made them yesterday when you weren't home And you shouldn't worry about it; they're yours now."Sergio smiled and nodded gratefully, taking a seat at the breakfast bar while Serena poured some cereal into his bowl.After a short silence, she spoke again."What did you say you needed me for?" She asked casually.Sergio raised his eyebrows."Uhm.. I didn't exactly tell you, it's more of a surprise."Serena laughed quietly."How mysterious. Do I get to know the details of your surprise?" She asked teasingly."Not at all, Just trust me when I say it's not much."Serena scoffed indignantly."Why does everyone think I'm going to believe anything you say anymore?" She complained.Sergio chuckled and nudged her gently in the ribs."Because you're gullible." He smirked.She rolled her eyes and shook her head in amusement."Okay, So is it gonna involve a hot tub?" She asked.Sergio narrowed his eyes suspiciously at her and grinned mischie
Sergio led her through the forest carefully, avoiding stepping on any branches or leaves and making sure not to disturb the ground too much under their feet. He reached up with his free hand to grab a branch hanging low over the path, steadying himself so he could continue walking without tripping on it, and guided her carefully behind it and towards the centre of the clearing. Once they got there, he stopped suddenly and stepped back, causing Serena to stumble forward slightly. When she regained her balance again, she looked up at him curiously and saw him staring intently at the grass in front of them.She frowned in confusion."What is it?" She whispered uncertainly.Tobin didn't respond for a second or two before letting out a heavy breath and lifting his head to meet her gaze."Look... This might be a bit awkward, so if you don't want to see it, you can just turn around, it's okay." He began explaining, taking a step backwards hesitantly.Serena stared at him in complete bewild
She found it difficult to believe that someone who had been so cold and unfriendly to her the entire time could become so kind and sweet now."How come your parents never told you about us?" Tobin inquired, breaking the comfortable silence.Serena raised an eyebrow questioningly."I mean, it's okay if you don't want to talk about it, But I thought that they were pretty cool and they must've known something because they never told me either."Maxi shrugged her shoulders nonchalantly."To be honest, my parents didn't know that we existed until a couple years ago." She explained. "When I was ten, they died and left me their house in Ambracia." Tobin's eyes widened slightly in shock at the news."Wow, I'm sorry to hear that. But I'm glad to know that you're able to live here now." He said softly.She smiled slightly and nodded."Thanks. My life here is pretty great though." She admitted.Sergio grinned back."Well, I'm glad to know that you're happy." He replied sincerely.They continue
