Mommy...Can you Win Daddy's Love again?

" If Kathie is pregnant again then Adrian would not get the chance... " Ruby interrupted Maria's words.

" Why?? " Adrian and Maria asked in unison. Ruby chuckled and said, " Because...our little Sammy...will take care of Kathie. Do you both forget how much he demanded a sibling on his birthday when your friend, Thomas, refused to give his daughter play with him as she was sleeping…"

" Yeah...Little Sam is a carbon copy of Adrian. He is stubborn like his father…" Maria agreed with a sad smile. Then she suddenly started crying, remembering her grandson. Then she continued, " I am missing his sweet voice and naughty deeds…" She sobbed.

" Mom...please stop crying. He will be fine soon…" Adrian hugged her, placed his hands around her shoulders.

" Addy… Being a mother, I can understand Kathie's pain. Once again think about your decision to leave Sam in this condition " Maria suggested, still crying.

" He is my son...too… It would be painful for me too to go away from my son" Adrian answered.

Katherine heard the whole conversation standing at the entrance of the door to her room. She wanted to check on Adrian as he left, taking a cup of coffee without talking with her. But after hearing the conversation, she understood to wait till Adrian opened up with her about what was going on in his mind as she was confident about their love and their relationship.

She had trusted her mother-in-law and Ruby that they would take good care of Sam in her absence. So she determined in her mind to be a support to her husband as he was not in a normal state.

The day passed on….. 

Adrian opened his eyes and found his beautiful wife and his loving son beside him on the bed. Then he found Kathie placing her hands on both his son as well as him in her sleep. He smiled a little and pecked her knuckles. Slowly he removed her hand from him and sat up on the bed. He looked at his son and pressed his lips on Sam's forehead. 

" Good morning, my little Champ…" he whispered in his ears and stood up from the bed.

In her sleepy state, Katherine heard her husband's voice and opened her eyes. She saw him walking towards the bathroom. Quickly she sat up on the bed and asked, " I waited for you last night till late, where were you? "

He thought she slept while leaning back on the bedpost, so he made her sleep properly on the bed and covered her with a quilt As soon as he came to know that she waited for him, his heartfelt warmth. Instantly he turned his head and said " But you were sleeping, by the time I returned to the room " He acted as if he didn't care.

Before she prolonged the conversation, he walked into the bathroom and shut the door. She looked at the door blankly for a while. Then she kissed Sam's cheek and greeted him, " Good morning…"

Suddenly, she remembered their journey and stepped down from the bed. She arranged a suit, watch and tie for Adrian before he came out of the bathroom. Later she took a dress for her to wear after bath.

Meanwhile, Adrian came out of the bathroom in a navy blue colored bathrobe.

" I kept your stuff on the couch. Please wear it…" she informed. Then she noticed the water droplets from his hair. 

" Shall I dry your hair? Or else you may get cold…" she asked him and was waiting for his permission. 

" Yeah...I forgot to take an extra towel to dry my hair… " saying he sat on the dressing stool near the mirror.

She moved closer to him holding a white towel in her hand. Slowly she started drying his hair with her one hand as still, her other hand had slight discomfort. 

She could sense the fresh musk fragrance along with the shaving cream smell as he took a fresh bath. She inhaled the fragrance of him, closing her eyes. She leaned closer to him enjoying the fragrance as it had been many days, she was intimated with him. 

 Adrian was worried about her hand as she stopped drying his hair. He tilted his head slightly and raised his eyes from the space between the towel which was drying. He noticed how close his wife was to him and how she was enjoying the moment of being close to him. Just then his eyes moved to her lips. 

" How many days it had been tasting her rosy lips…" he thought in his mind. 

His hand raised in the air to hold her waist. 

All at once, they heard the knock on the door. Realization hit her brain and lost the grip of the towel from her hand. And the towel fell on the floor. At the same time, Adrian stopped his hand in the air.

" I am sorry…" she apologized to him with puppy eyes. " It's okay...I can understand that your hand might be in pain now also…" he replied as he found her embarrassed by the door-knocking sound. Especially he knew about his shy wife.

Again they heard the door knocking sound. 

" Go and take your bath. We should get ready by nine o'clock " he informed and said to come in who was knocking on the door.

Katherine nodded her head, lowered her head, and walked into the bathroom. Then the nurse walked into the room to check Sam.

" Can you please come after twenty minutes, we are getting ready? " Adrian asked her politely.

" Sure, sir…" saying the nurse left the room.

After the nurse left, Adrian wore the suit that she selected for him. He kept the watch on his wrist. Then he took the tie around his neck and below the shirt collar. When he was knotting the tie in front of the mirror, he heard the sound of twisting the doorknob from the bathroom. His body froze when he found his wife wrapped her body only in a white towel. 

" Is she testing my sanity! " he thought. On the other side, the little buddy in his pants became like a thick rod.

" I can fight with anyone for you, but staying away from you and fighting with you even as the act is a very difficult task for me…" he admitted to his heart in his mind.
