"Yeah, our child is growing," I tell him happily as I hold his hand and keep his palm on my belly. "Feel."
I tell him and he looks at me tense.
"Let me feel my wife first," He pulls away his hand and then pulls me in a hug, "I missed you a lot." He confesses and I shrug under him, "Me too."
He then talks a lot and tells me all about his days without me, I hear him intently, he has really suffered because of me, I too have suffered but I guess somehow he is way more miserable than me.
He cuddles me and I sleep in his arms peacefully after waiting for so long finally again I am embraced in his warmth.

"You mean Ann didn't know about this?" I shout and then storm into the washroom where my husband is at the moment.
"No…" He replies calmly and then rinses his mouth.
F**k… He has come here without telling Ann what if she finds out…
I start to get pissed at him, what the hell is he doing?
"What if Ann comes here? Then?" I ask him, worried.
"Tessy, stop worrying, I am here for a few days, let's spend those days without any worry, ok." He says calmly as he gets close and holds my shoulder giving me an assuring squeeze.
"But, Ann…" I say anxiously and he quickly pecks my lips to stop me from talking.
"Let's forget about everyone and have some fun." He says with a boyish grin and I look at him puzzled.
"Fun?"
"Quickly get dressed, after breakfast, I am taking you out." He informs and I look at him with a blank mind.
"Tessy, go." He pushes me out of the bathroom and I have no choice but to get ready quickly.
It's summer so I pick a sleeveless knee-length dress with a light silk scarf that covers my shoulders nicely, Andrew is wearing jeans and a simple tee but he looks dashing the way he is.
"You need a shave and haircut," I point out and he grins. "Laters,"
I smile widely, his boyish grin is so enchanting. We had breakfast together and after that, I look at Miss Celine's room door, why she hasn't come out of her room yet.
My husband hands me the medicine making me stunned, "Where is Miss Celine?" I ask him.
"I have booked her another room, she is staying there." He explains.
"Oh…"
Later, Andrew takes me to the city in a beautiful grey metallic Audi that has an open roof so we could enjoy the summer weather. I look around the city happily, Andrew too looks happy.
He takes me to visit a ghost-themed museum and I look at him stunned. Who takes his pregnant wife to the ghost-themed museum. I am not afraid of ghosts so I walk with him calmly and he looks quite surprised after looking at my calmness.
I shout every two minutes until we finish our walk, it was terrifying yet exciting. After that Andrew takes me to a festival market where we buy lots of stuff that wasn't necessary at all but kind of fun.
And at last, we go to a fine restaurant to have dinner, Andrew doesn't seem to be in a mood to go back to the resort as he keeps driving to another destination but I was too tired that I sleep instantly while he keeps driving.
"Tessy…" I hear my name and a small shake on my arm when I open my eyes I see the dark sky over me with multiple stars shining on it. I blink my eyes and then look at my husband who has enveloped me in his arms.
"Where are we?" I ask, hoarsely. This isn't a resort.
"Get up, I want to show you something." He says instead of replying to me.
I rub my sleepy eyes and then finally get up. Looking around I realize that we are near a lake, a beautiful lake it is and no one is around us. Andrew holds my hand and then walks near the lake, he then takes out his phone and opens the flashlight.
The light reflects in the water it looks clean and pure, Andrew then takes out something from his pocket and sprinkles it in the water, soon I see hundreds of small fishes appearing in the lake making me stunned as I open my mouth widely in surprise.
"Fish…"
Andrew grins and then sprinkles some more food on the other side and then the whole group of fish travel towards it. In this way Andrew keeps them moving from here and there while I watch them with excited eyes.
"How do you know about this place?" I ask him.
"This, my father would bring me here whenever I get bored," he tells me.
"Have you visited Aspen before?" I ask him.
"Yes, lots of time with Dad… He used to attend the film festival and now thankfully Ann has taken the responsibility for it." He says in relief.
"Why you didn't attend the event?" I ask him, curious.
"If I had attended it then how would I be able to come here." He grins again making my heart flutter.
It was late at night when we enter the resort and as soon as we enter our suite, Andrew hands me the medicines first.
I was too tired not in the mood to take a shower or change my clothes I strip my dress and then crawls into the bed, soon my husband joins me as he spoon me from behind and then start showering my neck with wet kisses.
"I thought you weren't here for sex." I tease him.
"If my wife strips like this, how am I able to ignore her beauty." I could sense him grinning behind me as I start to giggle.
He turns me and looks at my face for a brief second, "You have become more beautiful." He says and I stop giggling, his eyes dark, filled with intense desire for me only me.
He leans down and soon we both get lost in each other, it feels so good to have my husband after such a long time, he has been gentle to me during our intimacy but the passion for me had grown stronger in him.

"Do you really need to leave?" I hold his arm like a child and pout my face.
Today is the third day and he is leaving me, I feel so mad at him yet sad. I don't want him to leave, we spent our days so happily and it's not enough for me at all.
"Tessy, I can't stay more. I swear I am not happy to leave you like this, but I have to." He says as he holds me closer and then kisses my forehead to comfort me.
"Why… why do we need to live like this…" I ask him getting agitated.
"Tessy, not again… I promise this time I will convince Ann." He says with determination but I scoff angrily.
"Tessy…" He calls my name helplessly. "Don't cry, please.." He wipes my tears.
"Please don't leave me," I say in a hoarse voice, he shakes his head as he closes his eyes and presses his forehead to mine. "Just a few more days." He breathes and then kissing me one last time, he picks up his small suitcase and leaves.
I cry sadly when he leaves and after a few seconds Miss Celine enters with a neutral face, "Miss, please don't cry." She hands me a few tissues and I take them politely wiping away my tears.
"Is he gone?" I ask.
"Yes." Miss Celine replies and it shatters my heart as I start to cry more sadly. Miss Celine stays beside me all the time comforting me. After crying for a long time, feeling tired I fall into a deep dreamless slumber.

I0 days, I spent 10 days like a hell in Aspen after my husband left, he calls me and texts me daily but we don't really talk because all the time I just keep crying after hearing his voice. When I came here in anger I was able to survive without him but now my mind is filled with his memories it is difficult for me to survive a single day without his existence.
Ann visits me multiple times, but neither I tell her about Andrew's arrival nor does Miss Celine mentions anything about it.
After 25 days in Aspen, we finally return to Denver. I and Miss Celine takes the train and this time Ann too joins us. I was in a foul mood all day, I had vomited a lot today and feel very much grumpy and the hotness of summer is surely killing me.
I had never been that annoyed, maybe the pregnancy hormones, I have no idea.
We enter the mansion together and I see my husband standing in plain grey color pajamas set, his smile is radiant, he walks forwards and hugs Ann first, thanking her for something that I really don't care about at the moment.
Grumpily, I walk towards the elevator and suddenly my wrist was held by my husband as he pulls me back, "Hey," He hugs me from behind as I watch Ann disappearing into the elevator.
I didn't reply to him as he turns me and then looks at me up and down, carefully. "What happen?" He asks after scanning my dark face.
"Nothing." I snap as I pull myself away from him and then straight to the elevator. I enter and he follows, before I could press the button 3, he presses the second-floor button making me amused.
"I am staying on third." I remind him and he grins at me, "No, you're not. Now you'll stay with me pumpkin." He says as he kisses my nose and I frown pumpkin? He just calls me a pumpkin.
He looks the anger in my eyes and then chuckles, "My sweet pumpkin." He says it again and this time with a brief wet kiss on my cheek that literally lowers my anger.
DING
Our floor arrives and holding my hand, he pulls me to our room. Finally, we are back to living as normal husband and wife.
