The sun rays came through the window, falling on Bianca, giving her chocolate brown hair a golden tinge.

Her hand moved to the side where Luke had slept, only to find it empty. She cracked her eyes open, blinking them to keep the sleep away. When she saw the empty space beside her, she stretched and turned her head to the other side and saw him standing near the window.

His back was to her, his hands tucked into the pockets of his track pants as he stared out, looking deep in thoughts. She admired his muscled back and bit her lip as her gaze traveled lower.

"Having a good morning?" He asked without turning around.

"How did you know I was awake?" She raised her brows in surprise.

"I can feel you ogling me."

She grinned and got out of bed, pulling the sheets along to cover her body before walking up to him.

"I can't help myself." She admitted, kissing his back. "Good morning."

He turned around and wished her a good morning by claiming her lips. She held on to him with one hand while the other one clutched the sheets in place.

She wanted the kiss to last longer, but he pulled away. That was when she noticed his tensed shoulders and rigid stance.

"What's wrong?" She looked up at him and asked.

His lips parted like he was about to say something but stopped himself. "It's nothing." He said after a moment.

"Now you are hiding things from me." She stated, burying her hand in his hair. "Tell me."

"I thought about last night."

"Mhm." She nodded, urging him to continue.

"We both know that we love each other, right?" She frowned when he said that and pulled her hand away. She did not understand where the conversation was going, but she nodded anyways.

"Bianca...I haven't spoken to the doctors about it...I don't even know if we can still do it at this stage of your pregnancy."

"Do what?" She said, getting distracted by his lips.

He took a deep breath. "I know I married you because I wanted our son. But things were different then. I didn't love you. Now I do..."

"I know that. And I love you too. We will spend time together as much as we can." She gave him a small smile.

"No." He shook his head. "What I mean is that...I want you in my life. I can't lose you."

"I know." She went on her toes and pecked his lips. "But some things are not in our hands." She smiled sadly.

"Maybe they are..." He trailed off.

She looked at him in surprise. "How?" Had he spoken to a doctor and figured out a solution?

"We don't need to have..." He stopped and closed his eyes for a brief second before opening them and looking right into hers. "If there is any chance of doing this now and without you being hurt...we should think about stopping...terminating the pregnancy."

Her eyes blinked and her face went expressionless. "What?"

"We can have more kids, Bianca." He placed his hands on her shoulders. "But I won't be able to get you back if you die."
