The Deal About Us

85

A year later:

I walked into my office and was about to sit down when Keith barged in. I looked at him waiting for an answer

"Tyler's here"

"You're joking!" I exclaimed

"No, I'm not. Come along"

I walked downstairs with Keith and stared at Tyler with astonishment then I jumped in his arms and hugged him tightly.

"Oh, Tyler" I murmured burying my face into his neck

"I suppose Julia and Giovanni didn't wait for me" he chuckled

"And neither did we" I said breaking the hug

"We?" 

"You're a father to a beautiful baby boy Mr. Hernandez" I smiled, he looked at me again to confirm it was true and I nodded. He picked me up and kissed me, I could feel the joy radiating from him and it made me happy. I pulled apart and got down.

"I'm afraid he's asleep at the moment but you can surely take a look" I said and guided him to Gio and our son's nursery.

"The smaller one is ours" I whispered, looking at the peacefully sleeping babies. I didn't know I was capable of this. Giving birth, bringing up a new life and finding joy in it. It's purely amazing.

"What did you name him?"

"Russell, Russell Adriano Hernandez"

"But 'Adriano' is my middle name"

"I know, it sounded rather hot to me" I replied and he smiled

"Can we stay here tonight? Then move back to your place later?" I asked Tyler as we walked down to the kitchen for supper

"Of course, I don't see any problem in it" he replied. We sat down on our seats and served ourselves the food

"You didn't say, why you were gone for a whole year"

"Can we talk about this later?"

"No"

"I had a mission, I cannot reveal what but yeah. I was in Venice" he shrugged and I nodded

I switched the light off and lay beside Tyler. I hugged him and then I kissed him, we broke apart and went again. This went on for a while and then I looked into his eyes.

"Gosh, I love you" I sighed
