"Take me Ezekiel…" she gripped him hard, holding to him like letting go would kill her as she begged him to bring her along. "Don't leave me alone. Please…!"
With her sobbing and trying to speak at the same time, Alicia could hardly breathe when he cupped her face in his hands and made her look at him. The tender way he held her face, his eyes deep and dark only indicated to her very clearly what he was about to say to her. And her heart bled even as her eyes hungrily drank up the view of her beloved person. That small and soft smile could only mean one thing… that he was going to say goodbye to her.
"Alicia… I believe you're already pregnant with our child." Ezekiel broke the news to her as gently as he could.
The world seemed to shake violently before suddenly freezing up for a moment. A moment that felt like an eternity to Alicia. She opened her lips. Then closed it before opening it again. But still nothing came out. She was still too shaken by the news.
