Maze'sThe delicious smell of my favorite mac and cheese tingled my nose when I entered the kitchen. My eyes automatically looked for my husband and there I saw him preparing our dinner table. Aside from mac and cheese, I can see that he also made my favorite steak and other delicious foods for our 11th year anniversary. And I can't help but smile as I crossed my arms against my chest while leaning at the doorframe and just watched my wonderful wife do all the work. Life with Gabriel was, is and I am sure will always be beyond wonderful. We have our ups and downs as a couple but that didn't make me love him less. In fact, I loved him even more as years passed by and he showed me how wonderful it is to have someone like him in my life. I honestly think that I'm the luckiest man on earth as I'm able to get myself a very good-looking and the best husband I could ever wish for and also a wonderful son that makes life brighter for the both of us. It's also exactly two years ago when

Gabriel'sMaze and I looked at each other after we heard the doorbell ringing. The only guests that we're expecting today were Michael and Mysty who had obviously arrived a long while ago and I can't help but to feel nervous just by thinking who the person outside could be."Gab." I was quite stunned when I heard Maze speak for the first time today and my heart can't help but to flutter because the first word that came from his mouth today was my name. I know that it's such a cliché but you can't blame me.Some things never really changed all throughout the years. And that's Maze's effect on me and the same goes to my effect on him."What is it, Maze?" I asked him as I internally castigated myself for being able to think of such mushy things in the middle of this freaking situation."Will you please open the gate for me?" My mouth went agape when Maze said those words and I can't help but frown as well. 'What the hell is he talking about?'Was he expecting other guests aside from

Maze's Gabriel immediately went to our kitchen to cook some food for lunch and I totally forgot the food he made for me a while ago. Royce decided to help Gabriel while Heather went upstairs to play with the kids and also to greet Michael. But I know that aside from the reason they said to excuse themselves, their main purpose is to actually leave me and my subordinates to have a private talk. And I couldn't be more thankful to them as they both know what I want and need. And that is to talk things over to the guys who're well enough to analyze this dreadful situation of mine. "We heard what happened from Sir Crimson." Jake was the one to talk first and I sighed before looking at the three of them and nodded afterwards. "Before anything else, I would like all of you to just call me by my first name because Gab's not actually fond of formalities." I said, still trying to sound superior like before when in fact, I slowly transitioned into a brave ass guy to a husband that's scar

Maze'sI tried to come up with words to answer Gab's question but just like I thought, I can't speak. My husband's crying in front of me, wondering about his worth because of all the secrets I've kept from him and I feel guilty just by seeing tears rolling down his cheeks. So instead of letting out a single word that might put me and my secret at stake, I rushed towards him but then just when I was about to hold him, he looked at me indifferently and that made me stop in my tracks. Tears are still streaming down his cheeks, nonstop. He looked as if he's been betrayed and it made my heart ache to no end. "G-gab--" I tried calling his name but the lump in my throat won't let me speak another word other than his name cause I am too nervous. I've hurt him, which is the last thing I would want to do in this world. "Who are those three guys, Maze? And why didn't you tell me a single thing about them for over 11 years that we're together? And what kind of help will they be lending us?"

Maze's"Maze, what happened?" Jake and the other two stood up from their seats the moment I reached their table at the coffee shop where we agreed to meet the 'babysitter' I wanted to hire."Uh, what's wrong? You look like you just went through Armageddon." First and his honest mouth striked again and Heine gave him a warning look but he just shrugged.I sighed before looking at the waiter who's passing by and told her to get me some cold drink.We all sat down and they waited for me to tell what happened before I got here and so I sighed again before leaning my back against the chair. "Gabriel is against the idea, of course." and as if on cue, they all sighed as well. "You look as though we didn't expect that kind of reaction from him. C'mon, Man. We just guessed it right, you should be prepared at the very least." Here goes First again. And Jake poked him in his side to shut him up but I ignored him. He's actually right. We had expected Gab's violent reaction about this 'babysitt
