Milo's knees gave out. He slumped to the ground and stared blabkly at it. He resembled a child who woke up from a nap befuddled with reality. He slowly blinked, lciked his lips, his brows knitting together.
"I should've sat down to hear that," Milo finally said after a long silence. "I didn't expect that."
Kaden nodded his head amiably. "The brat handled it much better than expected."
"And you shouldn't tell anyone of this," Lina informed Milo. "There are people out there who are sick and—"
"You have my sworn secrecy," Milo reassured her with a wry smile, almost hurt that she even fathom the idea of him selling her secret. Awkwardly, he picked at a piece of his ripped jeans.
"On the brighter side, I won't have to suffer the pain of watching you die before me, given you're older than me," Milo grumbled. "On a worse note, you'll suffer watching everyone you love drop dead and you'll never experience that relief."
"Your brother could use some therapy," Kaden grumbled to Lina. Besides these two dramatic lovers, who else talked about death that easily?
"My brother has been through a lot," Lina muttered.
"Of trauma," Kaden retorted.
Lina glowered at him.
Kaden simply shrugged his shoulders in defense. Everyone knew they both needed all the help that they could get.

"You must drink the bone broth, it's nutritious. Also, don't forget to take your vitamins. I arranged for fresh grocery to be delivered to you every 3 days, you must eat something, and get yourself cleaned up. Maybe a hair cut too, especially since Summer is coming soon and your style is too long—"
"You nag more than mom," Milo grumbled at his eldest sister's neverending list. He couldn't believe that in the years that past, she was finally resuming her position as the eldest. When they were younger, he used to be the one making sure she ate. Now, it was the other way around.
Milo's chest felt fuzzy with the realization. Even as she was rambling off her list of to dos, he couldn't help but smile a bit.
"I'm serious, you have to—"
"I will," Milo reassured her.
"I'm sending all the instructions in a detailed and labeled document, I know you didn't listen to me properly," Lina continued with a wave of her hand. She knew the habits of her younger brother.
Milo rolled his eyes, but still grabbed the heavy bags of food she made him walk out with. Lina worriedly trailed after him and watched as he got into the car, then departed with a wave out of the window.
"They grow up so fast," Lina complained to Kaden. He slid up by her side, hands in his pockets, and raised his brows.
"If that's you as a sister, I can imagine how stressed you'd be as a mother," Kaden teased whilst pinching her nose. She glared at him, but he simply tugged her closer by it.
"You'd make a great mother, dove," he ended.
Lina's heart skipped. She faintly glanced at him, her cheeks red with the thought. She had not' fathom the thought of kids in a while.
"Wouldn't children be too much responsibilities?" Lina murmured, hugging her stomach with a slight glance to the ground. "Neither of us had great parents. What if we end up just like them?"
"There is always that possibility, dove, I won't lie to you," Kaden stated. He snaked his arms around her and pulled her in his direction. His lips twitched when she curled her arms around his waist and softly peered up at him. She wore a tiny frown at the thought of their future.
"But is there also a chance we're the best parents we know, dove," Kaden reassured her.
"That's because the bar would be alarmingly low," Lina deadpanned.
"I do hope neither of our children inherit your pessimism," Kaden chuckled with an amused shake of his head.
"Hopefully they don't keep secrets from their parents either," Lina returned, with a pinch on his cheek. He glowered at her, obviously not amused. But she certainly was, her mouth twisting into a smile.
"Do you think we'd be good parents?" Lina murmured.
Kaden slid his hands lower, until he could give her butt a nice squeeze. She flinched, erh face going red, and she swatted at his hands.
"The only way to find out is to start making them." With that said, he carried her into his arms and approached the stairs leading to their bedroom.

"Y-you're crazy," Lina panted on the bed. She could barely keep her eyes open. How long have they done it? She glanced out the window and thought it was the afternoon, still. Instead, her body twitched with the amount of times she climaxed. There was a hazy blue in the sky, warning of a sun rise. They had done it all day and well into the night.
"One more round," Kaden murmured. He bent and kissed her gently on the mouth. She groaned against his lips and turned her head, but he was greedy for more. He immediately followed her mouth and captured it.
Lina's head spun with the thought. Every inch of her was sore, for he had licked, nipped, and bit everything he could get his hands on. He captured her mouth as if he was a starved man. The kiss was hot and breathy, her heart skipping in her chest. The sensation and timeless passion was beginning to make her stomach ache with desire again. Her skin hummed with heat as he slid his tongue inside. She slid her fingers up his muscular arm. At her touch, he tensed.
"Since you still have the energy, get onto your knees, dove of mine," Kaden hoarsely said against her lips. He was already grabbing at her waist and aligning his position.
"I can't, I'm tired," Lina moaned whilst turning her head. She meant it. By now, her waist and inner thighs must've been bruised by how hard he'd grip it to angle her body. She lost count of how many rounds they went for. She didn't think he was serious earlier, but he certainly was. He intended on making sure she was pregnant with his child.
"On your back then," Kaden decided whilst kissing her tenderly on the forehead. Within seconds, he thrusted back inside of her, earning a sharp gasp. She squeezed her eyes shut, for he sensually rolled his hips. He liked to start off slow, for he knew she was still a bit sore.
"O-only one more time," Lina shakily told him.
"For now," Kaden wickedly told her. She let out a shaky breath, but didn't even reject him. So, he took it as the chance to continue.
