Shawn's POV;

It's already Friday.

It's been five days since Camila's parents been at her place. I thought about asking her if she told them, but the moment I stepped in her apartment at Monday, I could see in her eyes that she didn't.

That confused me, I don't know if she wants for them to know, that I'm back and willing to spend time with Kiara.

Spend.

That's wrong word to use, but my vision of future is full of fog and I don't know how to clear it.

I watch Kiara draw lazily something on the paper as she sat in my lap, her head slowly turned to mine as she creeped the most beautiful smile. Feeling proud on herself as she scribbled some colourful lines.

"That's amazing baby" I kissed her forehead, she leaned in my embrace and I loved that, feeling her warmth.

"Shawn" I hear Camila say my name, my heart jumped.

"Yes?"

She stood at the door, holding her head in pain.
"I don't feel well" I stood up, placing Kiara to run around the house.

Camila looked pale and lifeless, it scared me to see her like that, she was always full of energy.
I placed my palm on her forehead, she leaned in my touch, closing her eyes.

"You're not too hot" I took her hand and made her space on the sofa to lay on.

"How long you have been feeling like this?" I asked her, she chuckled "this morning"

"It's six pm, you just told me now" she closed her eyes not wanting to argue. I watched as he hand held her stomach, like she missed that piece of her. I smiled sadly, imagining that small bump there I've never seen with bare eyes, nothing but her.

"Take care of yourself Camila" she opened her eyes, "I'm trying"

"Try harder"

"Shawn -"

"No Camila, I didn't think it that way, you take care of everything but yourself" I kind of yelled at her because getting sick every now and then isn't that good at all.

"I'm sorry"

It broke my heart.

"Don't apologize" I said as she sighed, "I am just trying to make things good for my baby"

"I understand, but now I'm here, we're going to give 50% each"

Kiara ran to us and she smiled,
"Your mum is a brave one" she climbed up and laid on her chest, I watched how Camila caressed her with love.

"She looks at you with love eyes" Camila commented, Kiara looked at me, while hugging her mother.

I blushed, feeling like teenager in love.

"Can you make me a tea?" I nodded and got up to put water to warm up.

I heard laughs from the sofa, Kiara giggled and Camila was talking to her.
My phone started ringing, I went into bathroom to talk as I saw the name.

"Hey" I heard soft voice from the other side.

"Hey baby"

"How are you?" I asked her, feeling weird.

"I'm good, I'm in the city" she said and I nodded like she could see it. Her being out of her village must be something important. Because city was overwhelming place and that village was isolated place without touch with wild world.
"You?"
