When he did not say anything, Silvia grabbed his hand and dragged him towards the nearby bench. "Rest your ass here and tell me what the f.u.c.k is wrong with you? Why are you behaving this way?" Sitting beside him, she placed her hand on his and sighed, "Talk to me Ron, I am not liking us being like this."
Tightening his grip around her hand, he took a deep breath, "I was supposed to protect you Silvia but I couldn't. You lost your baby because I didn't perform my duties well." Closing his eyes, he took a deep breath. A tear trickled down his cheeks when regret, guilt and sadness enveloped his heart again. The regret and guilt of not performing his duties well and not being able to protect Silvia and her unborn child was too much for him to handle so he had decided to isolate himself because he did not have the guts to face her.
Cupping his face, Silvia frowned, "Who said that it's your fault? That was an accident and it wasn't anyone's fault okay?"
"No you don't understand Sil, the relationship we share isn't a normal one I—"
Cutting him off, she sighed, "Listen to me Ron, I know that you are my shadow but—"
"You told you about that?"
"Jan, I forced it out of her but that is not the whole point," Pausing for a while, she added, "I don't care what other duties you have okay? I just know that you are my best friend Ron and nothing else matters to me. You will forever remain my best friend no matter what. This stupid competition and you being my so called shadow is secondary but our friendship and the bond that we share is for primary and a forever thing."
"But the baby I—"
Cutting him off, Silvia smiled, "You know what Kev told me when I was upset over it and couldn't stop blaming myself?" Without waiting for his reply, she added, "He told me that life is too short to cry over something that is already gone. He also told me that we can make as many as we want in the future so it's alright."
"Listen to me Ron, whatever happened was an accident and it wasn't anyone's fault. Neither Kevin nor I blame you or anyone for this. I won't lie to you, it still breaks my heart when I think about it but there is nothing that anyone can do. I don't want to be sad about it because I know my mood will affect Kev's mood as well." She added.
When he didn't say anything, she tightened her grip around his hand. "Can you please forget all this and give me my best friend back? I really need him."
Giving her a hug, Ron muttered, "I am sorry."
"You don't have to be and I promise that I'll make you an uncle really soon," she chuckled.
"Hmm, I cannot wait to be one."
"Hey you guys, how can you hug without me?" Janet complained before rushing towards them.
Giving both of them a hug, she sighed, "I missed our group hug so much."
"Me too," Silvia smiled.
Pulling away, Ron said, "I promise to protect both of you in the future no matter what happens. I won't let anyone harm my two little best friends."
"Hey, don't call us little," Silvia pouted her lips.
"Yeah, Sil and I can break your ass if we want to,"
Ron chuckled and nodded his head, "Sure."
Looking at each other, Silvia and Janet smiled before attacking Ron together.
…..
Inside the mansion.
Spanking his buttocks, Janet grinned, "Oh did our little legs kick you hard?"
Rubbing his sore butt cheeks, Ron rolled his eyes, "I wasn't prepared for the attack."
"Well, I hope you are ready for this attack," Silvia whispered before looking at Mia who was glaring at Ron.
Ron gulped in nervousness and gave her a weak smile but she walked away completely ignoring his presence.
"Babe, listen to me," Ron shouted before rushing towards her.
"Seems like someone is going to have a tough day today." Wrapping his arms around Silvia's waist, he pressed his lips on her forehead. "All sorted?"
"Yes, we are super good now." Burying her face on his chest, Silvia sighed, "Take me home."
Patting her back, Kevin said, "But we need to go to the hospital babe."
Looking at him, she pouted her lips, "Please."
"I think she can rest at home now right? You can take her to the hospital for a checkup once in a while," Rocky suggested.
Tucking a strand of hair behind her ear, Kevin said, "Alright, let's go home."
….
Kevin and Silvia's place.
Slumping on the bed, Silvia smiled, "It feels so great lying in our bed. So much better than that stupid hospital bed."
Folding his shelves, Kevin asked, "What do you want to have for dinner?"
"You," she smiled.
Helplessly shaking his head, he chuckled, "Hmm, even I wanna have you all day but we need to wait for your next checkup for that."
"Make anything meaty not leafy."
"How about leafy and meaty in equal proportion?" He asked.
"Fine,"
…..
One Month later.
Massaging her forehead, Silvia sighed, "Kev is going to kill me if I leave the house without his permission."
Passing her a jacket, Martha rolled her eyes, "Oh come on, why are you always so scared of him?"
"Exactly, you are the wife Sil so Kev should be the one who should fear you," Bella added.
"Bel and Martha are right, we will just visit that old man who happens to be one of the retired higher ups of SPIRIT so that we can get more information about them." Janet explained.
"Uncle Watson really had a very tough time arranging this meeting so we really can't waste this chance and he also happens to know about Chris' parents." Since the day Martha found out about Chris' parents existence, she was very anxious to know what had exactly happened to them and why they had abandoned Chris and the entire family.
