“I’m assuming that’s them now?”
“I have a feeling that it might be.” He kisses me softly before sliding off the bed to open the door. “And I was right…”
I push myself up to a sitting position as Rosa and Marco enter.
Rosa looks on the verge of tears as she looks at me, and I offer her a reassuring smile.
I know she feels guilty for what happened, but I don’t want her to shoulder the blame. It’s in the past.
“How are you feeling?” Marco moves to stand at the foot of the bed. His arm is in a sling.
I choose not to ask for the details. If anything, I want to try and forget that the past few hours ever happened.
“Great. Doctor says I’m all good and should be home tomorrow.”
Rosa still hovers by the door, glancing anxiously at Andre, who’s leaning against the door with his arms folded across his broad chest.
“Don’t you ever disobey me again, you hear?”
“I promise,” Rosa mumbles.
Andre drops his hands and pulls his sister into a tight hug, ruffling her hair playfully.
She wraps her arms around him.
I smile at the two of them before glancing at Marco, who is fidgeting from one foot to the other.
“Is everything okay, Marco?”
“I realized I never apologized.” A blush creeps up his cheeks.
I frown. “For what?”
“You know, the whole kidnapping in the middle of the night thing,” he mutters.
I bite the inside of my cheek to hide my laugh and glance at Andre, whose dark eyes are glittering.
He shrugs. “At least he apologized. My little brother is not usually one for such a gesture.”
“Fuck off. I was only following your orders.”
Andre smirks, tucking his hands into his pockets.
“This family is weird.” Rosa plops down into the chair beside me.
“I appreciate the apology, Marco.” I chuckle. “Though, if you ever try to kidnap me again, and that goes for you too, Andre, I will personally chop off both of your dicks and put them through a meat grinder.”
Marco cringes. “Noted.”
My eyes stay glued to Andre. “And from now on, no more thinking you know what’s best for me. I want to be involved in every decision that affects me and my baby, you hear?”
I pause, realizing what I’ve just said.
Everyone is silent for a moment.
Rosa squeals, “You’re pregnant?”
I cringe, but nod. “I am.”
