Raquel's Pov
We were currently taking our morning walk in our neighborhood with our hands closely intertwined. We kept turning to smile at each other
The silence between us was warm and comfortable and Micheal kept offering me water and never ceased to ask if I was okay.

It really felt nice considering how concerned he was about me. We did it everywhere imaginable during my honey moon trimester but now the urge to jump his bone was gone. Micheal was being considerate and understanding and we just end up cuddling most night.

He was still being overprotective and always followed me to my postnatal. Nelly hardly passed by nowadays but called occasionally. She was focusing on Tony now and as much as I miss her I couldn't ask for more.

"Micheal, what are you thinking about?" I asked in concern when I realized he was absent minded.

" I'm thinking about how I nearly burnt the house three months ago," He replied, his face creased in deep thought.

" You shouldn't be so hard on yourself about it,at least we are okay now," I comforted whilst I brushed my finger tip against his hand.

" I know, but that was a close call, you could have died and that would have been my fault," He retorted and I could tell he was really upset about it.

"Don't blame yourself, it wasn't like its your fault," I stated in assurance.

" How can you say it wasn't my fault, the fire service report stated that I didn't turn the kettle off after heating the water. And that nearly caused the fire," He stated in frustration.

" It happened because you were in a rush to come and take care of me," I replied calmly in an attempt to ease his worry.

" You don't get it,do you? You fainted during the incident and the doctor said have I delayed for just a minute, you could have died," He stated his eyes glassy with unshed tears.

"Baby I know, but am here, healthy and alive. Besides thanks to your knowledge in fire emergency we were saved. You making us crawl on the floor to be able to see clearly was the best thing and few people would have known that," I praised in order to ease his worry.

" We could have lost the babies, our lives, the house, everything. For Christ sake what would my dad have done. I'm the only thing he has now and we are not even on good terms," He stated frantically.

What was happening today. It was like we have switched roles. He was being way emotional now and it was kinda new to me. I haven't seen him like this before. Being emotional was my specialty, my field not his. He continued to air his frustration and I just looked on clearly not knowing how to make  things better.

I suddenly engulfed him in a hug and he eagerly returned it and began to  shook with tears. Oh my God, Micheal was freaking crying on the prospect of losing me. I was dumbfounded. This guy was hundred percent unpredictable. We continued to be in each others embrace before he finally broke off.

My shoulders were wet now with his tears.
" I'm sorry for taking you off guard. Did I scare you?" He questioned whilst his hold on my hand tightened.

"No you didn't. I'm just surprised that's all," I said in a calm voice, still processing what just went on.

" I really care about you Raquel and the thought of loosing you really scared me," He solemnly said whilst he turned me to look into his eyes.
"You mean the world to me, and I wouldn't wish for anything but you," He said before placing a kiss on my lips.
