Ethan took a deep shuddering breath when he felt Saira's hand pull from his and he turned his head to look at her. He watched her take a step back, watched her swallow as she stared at the baby in Jeanette's arms. The baby who was his exact replica except that his eyes were green like Jeanette's and he had blonde hair like her but it was a given, even without conducting a DNA test that DJ was his biological son."Saira?" His voice was shaky as she took another step back. Was she leaving?"Um..." She paused, looking everywhere else but at him. "You should um... go upstairs and finish this."Ethan backed Jeanette, completely forgetting about her and focusing on his wife who looked like she wanted to be anywhere else but in the lobby at that moment."We can talk about this. Don't leave." He pleaded as she continued backing away from him."I have to go." She turned and ran down the opposite direction towards the fire exit."Saira!" He called and made to run after her but Jeanette's voice

Two days later"Dude, what's going on with you and Saira?" George demanded. "Everyone has noticed that the two of you are having a lovers quarrel. Don't tell me it's because of that mysterious woman that showed up here two days ago?""We're fine." Ethan said. "You don't expect us to be with each other every hour of the day, do you?""I'd believe that if you were studying a different course." George huffed. "You know you can talk to me Ethan."Ethan groaned. "Okay fine. But that will be later." He said. "Where's Harry?""Talking to Saira.""Why?" He looked for Saira and found her sitting at the back where the bench warmers usually gathered which made him frown wondering what she was doing there. Harry had his arm around her shoulders talking quietly to her."We decided that I'll be the one to talk to you and he'll talk to her." George shrugged. "We don't like what's happening with the two of you so we want both of you to kiss and make up.""We'll kiss and make up when we're ready." Eth

Saira was stunned as she felt Daniel's lips touch hers and she immediately drew back then glared at him. "What do you think you're doing?" She demanded. "He doesn't deserve you, Saira." Daniel said. "It's not even been a month and he's gone back to his old ways. You should get out while it's still early.""Get out of where?" She feigned ignorance."This toxic marriage. Do you really want to be with a man who doesn't respect you and the vows you both took?""You caught me at a bad time, Daniel." She told him. "I just got an unexpected call and I wanted to talk to my husband but I couldn't reach him...""Because his mistress picked the call and told you your husband had just finished banging her and was in the shower washing off the scent of her body from his before he returns to you." Daniel cut her off harshly. "You really want to be with that kind of man?""Maybe I misunderstood her." She shook her head. "Ethan loves me."Daniel laughed without humor and sighed. "You're seeing thing

The incessant ringing of Ethan's phone jolted him awake from his sleep and his eyelids fluttered open. The room was dark except for the lamplight which Saira had left on because she didn't like sleeping in the dark. He leaned over her to pick up his phone from her bedside table and stared at the screen. It was just two am in the morning which made him frown but he answered the call anyway."Hello." "Ethan?" Jeanette's voice said in his ear. "Ethan, I don't know what's wrong with DJ." Ethan slowly shifted out from under Saira and got out of bed and went to the bathroom. "What do you mean?" He rubbed his hand over his face to clear the sleep from his eyes."He's been crying all night. I don't know what to do." She said."You should take him to the hospital. Health Land." Ethan told her. "I'll be there in an hour.""Okay." She said."There is a doctor on call at the hospital, I'll give her a call so she can immediately attend to him once you get there." He said."Okay." She said.Ethan

"You've been quiet." Saira remarked, staring at her husband who was busy on his phone. "And you've been on your phone since you walked in." "I'm sorry." He apologized, finally looking up from his phone. "Are you okay?""No." She frowned. "What do you need?""I need you to stop acting like my being here means I'm dying or something." She snapped."What?" He stared blankly at her."Both of our mothers and even Eugene have been giving me that look! That one!" She pointed a finger at his face. "Stop it.""You're not dying, Saira and we were not giving you any kind of look." He said. "It's all in your head.""Really? I made a joke yesterday and no one laughed.""We didn't laugh because it wasn't funny." He told her. "You made a joke about looking like death, sweetheart. What was there to laugh about?""But still!" She huffed."Watch TV." He reached for the remote on her bedside table and turned on the TV. "What do you want to watch?" He asked her."Wait!" She called out as he made to cha
