ＦＯＲＴＹ－ＳＥＶＥＮ

He picked her up in bridal style and took her straight to bathroom, he placed her under hot shower.

Her look was making Ed lose his control he went under the shower, caressed her cheeks, and kissed her lips. soon Anna gave in, and it turned into a hungry kiss. Anna started unbuttoning his shirt, but somehow Ed came back to his senses and stopped. he separates himself and says, "You clean yourself and come down.It's late so we will have brunch." saying that he left.

Anna was confused about Ed behaviour. She went down and saw Ed in the kitchen wearing an apron. she was admiring his beauty. she went in and said "I never knew you could cook."

"I only cook for special ladies in my life." he said

She gave him a death glare.

He looked at the and chuckled and said, " it's mom, gram's, and you, my angry bird." he said this and pinched her cheeks.

She smiled like a kid got his favourite candy.

He continued. " Now please go and wait for me in the dining hall." she nodded obediently and left.

After some time Ed came with breakfast and Anna got surprised and asked,"how you know I like Egg Benedict?"

"I know everything about my wife."

"But I don't know anything about you."

"it's OK. We have our whole life to know each other." Ed said.

After breakfast, Ed was going through some files, and Anna was resting, keeping her head on his lap. it was almost 4 when Anna said "Ed can we go for a walk? I need some air, please."

"Sure baby, where you want to go?"

"In a park..... I don't know why, but I suddenly want to be around kids... I am missing bunny, cupcake, and pinky pie a lot. let's go, na, please."

That's when Ed remembers that Anna is unaware of her miscarriage. his heart ached, but then he said with a smile.

"OK, let's get ready for a walk, and then we will have dinner at your favourite restaurant."

"Ohh, Ed, you are the best husband in the world." she shouted and hugged him.

*****

Anna was very happy to see kids playing in the park. they both were walking, holding each others hand.

it was getting dark. then Ed said, " Let's go hummmm."

Anna was about to stand that's when a paper airplane came and landed on her lap. she took it and smiled at it... but soon, her smile faded away when she saw Jules photo on it. she opened it and it was the newspaper, which had a news of Jules death by car crash.

Anna looks at Ed in worried expression. " Why did you hide it from me, Ed?"

"What are you talking sparkle?" he asked. she the showed the paper to him. he frowned, looking at it and took the paper , crumbling it, and threw it in the dustbin.

"Ed, what's wrong? Why didn't you tell me?" she asked again.

"It's past Anna. You don't need to know. please end the topic here." He walked away.

Anika's POV

When I woke up after 10 months. I was so happy to see everyone, specialy to see my hubby, it was after a long time that I was celebrating my birthday. the day went very well. next day, my husband made me a finger licking lunch. In the evening we went to the park. I was really enjoying but accidentally i got to know about Jules death. I asked Edward but he got upset and walked away. later we went to have dinner. the driveway back home was silent.

After reaching home, I thought to talk to Edward, but then he got a phone call from dad, and he went to the study room.

After the call I asked, " is everything good?"

"Yes, he just needed some details of tomorrow's meeting, which he will be attending."

"Dad didn't go back. " I asked.

"I am sorry I forgot to tell you.....Dad gave up the throne and shifted back to New York, and for the last ten months, he is handling the company as I was with you." he said, keeping his hands on her shoulder.

"Ed, all these things happened, and you didn't even tell me. why?" I asked in disappointment.

"Because I don't want you to stress, baby."

"Ed, are you hiding anything from me."

"No sparkle."

"Ed, I want to know about Jules accident."

"You don't need to know." and again, he walked away.

"OK then tell me about my accident and What about Lidia was she injured severely?" I asked.

"No, she was all fine." he said.

"What do you mean.... listen, don't lie OK I clearly remember I got a call saying that she is seriously injured."

Then he shouted at me, saying it was a fake call, Anna. I shivered with his voice. he then continued

"You want to listen the truth, then listen.... yes, Jules is dead, and she deserves that.... because she killed my unborn child and tried to harm my love.... so yes, she is dead now.... you understood."

I was numb. I touched my belly, and tears started rolling down. then he came near me and said, " You were two weeks pregnant sparkle, our baby was in this world..... I am sorry I hide it from you.... I am so sorry, babes."

I hugged him tightly and said, "I am sorry, Ed, it's because of me. Our baby is no more."

"No baby, don't blame yourself, please. I don't want you to stress. I want you to be strong, please."

Yes, of course I should be strong. I wiped my tears and said

"Don't worry, I won't stress myself, and may be it happened for our own good. right. Ed, i promise you I will be strong." he smiled and asked me to get fresh. I was very sad but I can't be like this. I don't want others to stress because of me anymore. I laid on bed and rested my head on his chest. I said

"Ed, let's join back the office from tomorrow."

"No sparkle, you need some more rest." he said with concern.

"Ed, please, you know I can't stay like this. please, it will make me happy." I said.

"But sparkle...." he wanted to say, but I covered his mouth with my hand and said work will help me to forget about my pain.

"OK, then promise me you will not over do it... and you will come home early... no working till late."

I got up and said, "See Ed, I can't promise you all that.... but I promise I will take care of myself... you can't take me away from my work.... you know how much I love it." and I smiled.

"You love your work more than me?" he asked with the mean expression.

"It depends on who make me more happy." and I laughed.

"OK, I think you don't want to join back."

I bite my tongue and said "Of course I love you more, Ed.... was that even a question."

And i tried to kiss his lips, but he covered himself with the quilt and said "good night, Anika."

I made a sad face and said "Ed this is not fair."

"Everything is fair in love and war, and this is war." he said from under the quilt.
