Levi smiled as she noticed that Mike had cooked all of her favorite foods. He even pulled out a chair for her and helped her to sit down.
"Don't be too overprotective, I might get used to it," she replied with a smile to her husband.
Unbeknownst to the couple, the two guards, Lea, and Aling Marta were watching them. Aling Marta felt a sense of relief seeing that the couple was doing well.
"Then, I'm willing to serve my wife. As long as I live and breathe, I will serve you, Levi," Mike responded seriously to his beautiful wife.
They began to eat together. Mike handed Levi the pasta, but suddenly she grimaced and covered her nose.
"No! Keep that away from me, I don't like it! Please... I don't want it, especially with butter," Levi complained, which greatly surprised Mike. He knew it was Levi's favorite. He furrowed his brows as he looked at his wife.
Levi once again covered her mouth, experiencing another bout of morning sickness. She quietly cursed to herself. Should she confess her condition to her husband now? Was this the right time to tell him? Would he accept the child she was carrying? What if he wasn't ready yet? Or was she just overthinking something that might not even happen?
"Are you okay? Do you feel any pain?" Mike's face showed deep concern for his wife, as he couldn't seem to stay calm.
"I... I'm f-" Levi didn't finish her sentence. She rushed to the sink and began vomiting repeatedly. She held onto the sink, feeling weak and dizzy. Thankfully, Mike was behind her.
Levi felt lightheaded, gripping her head as darkness consumed her.
Frantically, Mike caught his wife as she fainted. He shouted for help. Aling Marta and Lea quickly approached.
"Aling Marta, prepare the car. We need to take my wife to the hospital," he ordered anxiously.
Aling Marta almost panicked and instructed one of the guards. The guard hurriedly opened the large gate of the house.
Mike acted swiftly, carrying his wife to his car and quickly driving towards the nearby hospital. Upon arrival, the nurses immediately attended to them, moving with urgency.
"We'll take care of the patient. Please wait outside, thank you." One of the nurses said.
Mike was almost going insane with worry for his wife. He silently prayed to God, hoping that she would be alright.
Mike turned his attention when he heard his mother's voice. He called them and informed them that he had brought his wife to the hospital. The unexplainable worry in the faces of his mother, father, and siblings mirrored his own deep concern for his beloved wife's condition.
"Kuya!" Micah exclaimed and hugged his brother tightly.
"Hijo, what's happening?" Thalia's voice trembled, and Mr. Montenegro immediately embraced his wife.
"Thalia, your heart. Levi will gonna be okay, all we have to do is to pray. Please, sweetheart, don't let your emotions get the best of you. It won't do any good," Marco reminded his wife with concern.
"Marco, I hope she's alright. I just can't help but worry about Levi. Don't worry, I can handle myself."
"She suddenly fainted, Papa," Mike replied.
The door to Levi's room opened, and a doctor came out, approaching them.
"Are you the patient's family?" The doctor asked energetically.
Mrs. Montenegro felt a sense of relief upon seeing the doctor's enthusiastic demeanor.
"How's my wife, doc?" Mike asked, standing up.
"They're fine, and please try to avoid stressing the patient as her pregnancy is delicate. She is two months pregnant," the doctor replied with a smile.
Mike almost jumped for joy upon hearing the news. He hugged his father in excitement, realizing that he was going to be a father.
Micah, on the other hand, hugged her mom. The Montenegro family couldn't contain their joy, as another member of the family was about to come into their lives.
"Congratulations! Let me leave you for now. You can go inside," the doctor said, holding the door open as he walked away to attend to other patients.
Levi was still asleep when they entered her private room. The room was spacious and well-furnished.
Mike gently kissed his wife's forehead with utmost care.
Her family watched her with joy.
"Is this for real, Kuya?" Micah asked in disbelief. Mike turned to his sister.
While he didn't want to recount everything that had happened between him and Levi, he felt obligated to tell their parents the whole story.
At first, his mother wanted to scold him, but she eventually smiled. His father's jaw clenched as he listened intently to his account.
Micah, on the other hand, kept rolling her eyes and pouting.
Levi suddenly stirred. She slowly opened her eyes, at first everything was blurry, but gradually her vision cleared. She noticed that the surroundings were almost white. Where was she? What place had she ended up in? Then she felt the warmth of a hand holding her left hand, and she glanced to her side.
Their gazes met – hers and her husband's. She could see the deep concern in his eyes, but then he smiled and gently kissed her on the lips. She closed her eyes, feeling overwhelmed. The kiss was tender and filled with everlasting love. It lasted only for a moment. She heard a slight cough and looked in the direction of the sound, widening her eyes as if awakening from a dream.
"Ma, Pa!" Were the only words that escaped her lips. The Montenegro couple smiled at her.
"Please don't move yet, sweetie. It might be harmful to you and our grandchild," Thalia's face showed immense joy.
Levi was once again taken aback. She looked around her surroundings, trying to take everything in. It was only now that she remembered what happened earlier – she had fainted and couldn't recall anything beyond that. She realized that she was now in a private room in the hospital. She instinctively placed her hand on her small belly.
"I'm going to be a daddy, Levi. I'm going to be a daddy," Mike almost cried as he uttered those words.
"Yes, Mike. You're going to be a daddy," she replied to her husband, glancing at the couple. "And you will be grandparents too. Micah, you will be an aunt," she replied with a smile.
The room was filled with joy, a happiness that could never be equaled by any worldly possessions.

Years later...
"Mama, I want cookies, please?" The little boy pleaded with his mother, who was busy with her tasks.
"No more cookies, baby," she replied gently to her son.
He frowned and quickly ran off. Levi followed her son with her gaze.
"Chase me, Mama!" The boy shouted, running away. Levi smiled and approached her son, who continued running as he saw her getting closer. Just then, Mike arrived from his office and scooped up their son.
"How's my son? Did you behave while I was away?" Mike asked their son.
"Yes, Papa," he replied.
Levi gazed at her family with a smile. She could see the resemblance of Lucas's face to his father's features. They were like two peas in a pod. Lucas was a bit afraid of his father, as he didn't spoil him like she did.
Her husband approached her and kissed her on the lips, causing her to playfully pinch him, afraid that their son might see.
Mike just grinned mischievously. When Levi glanced at their son, she noticed that he had fallen asleep in his father's arms.
"How was your day?" Mike whispered to his wife.
"Fine, Lucas has been a bit mischievous. Sometimes I can't control his tantrums," Levi replied with a smile.
"I miss you," Mike whispered into her ear. It sparked a different feeling within her, reigniting the warmth in her body.
"I miss you more," she replied to her husband, and carefully picked up Lucas to take him to his own room.
She laid their son gently on the soft bed. She tucked him in, kissed his forehead, and turned off the lights in his room. She closed the door to his room before leaving.
She entered their bedroom. She found her husband busy typing on his laptop keyboard. Since the birth of Lucas, Mike had been occupied, but he never fell short as her husband.
"I'm going to take a shower," she informed him. She didn't hear his response as she turned away and entered the bathroom. She turned on the heater, then the shower. She undressed and positioned herself under the warm water, letting it cascade over her head. Levi closed her eyes, enjoying the relaxing sensation.
Mike carefully opened the bathroom door and was greeted by his naked wife. She had her eyes closed as she showered, and he didn't expect her to maintain her beauty and curves. She was still incredibly sexy. He approached her and embraced her from behind.
"I want you," Mike whispered into her ear. Levi jolted in surprise, accompanied by a thousand tickles from her husband. He hugged her from behind and kissed her neck. Levi closed her eyes again, feeling his hand busy with her breasts, while his other hand explored her femininity. She felt the liquid that emerged from her intimate area.
They faced each other, and she leaned against the wall. She lifted her legs and wrapped them around her husband's waist.
Levi let out a moan as her husband slowly entered her.
Mike moved his hips in a rhythmic motion, and each moan from Levi sounded like music to his ears. They stayed in that position for a while.
Mike changed his grip, enjoying the sight of his wife's face. He admired her beautiful body with a lingering gaze. Once again, he claimed her lips, full of passion and desire. There was no part of Levi's body that he didn't mark. His favorite part is her pearl, the pink one.
Using his tongue, he played with it.
Levi moaned and cursed as Mike prolonged his actions.
When he noticed that his wife was ready for more, he slowly trusted in and out. The rhythm was sensual. Their bodies collided as one, as if there was no tomorrow. Only their heartbeats could hear their pleasure and agony. He couldn't resist the beauty in front of him. Her taste, her body, her lips, and her touch made his heart go crazy and wild.
He carried his wife, their lips never parting, as they made their way to their bedroom until they reached their soft bed. He kissed her again and again, moving down to her neck, while his hand busily rubbed her pearl down there. Each moan and sigh from Levi was music to Mike's ears.
"Ahh...hmmm," Levi moans in so much pleasure.
"I want you to shout my name, sweetheart. Please beg for me," Mike whispered into his wife's ear. He lowered his kisses again, teasingly licking her sensitive parts, causing Levi to let out a scream. Mike couldn't help but smile.
"Mike! You're driving me crazy! If I get annoyed, no intimacy for a month!" Levi shouted, catching Mike off guard. Without a word, he continued playing with his tongue, exploring her femininity, and with a firm grip, he entered her once again.
"Damn! Mike, hurry! Almost... there... Ohh... just a little more... come on... s**t!" Levi exclaimed, and together they reached the peak of their passion.
"I love you," Mike whispered, kissing his wife on the forehead.
"I love you more," she replied with a smile, looking up at him as if she couldn't get enough of his handsome face.
