Steadily peering his icy spheres open he instantly let out a sigh in content watching his wife's tiny frame laying on his muscular one. He was laying on the couch while she was above him.

His mind instantly went to the last night's events remembering how he held her. How she let her sorrows out in his arms. How she kissed him.

How she gave him a chance.

This thought brought a small smile on his lips as his hand gently started caressing her hair while his other arm was wrapped firmly around her waist.

Her beautiful dark brown hairs were scattered all over her back as her front was pressed against his chest. How much he wanted this time to freeze but he knew she will wake up soon.

He gently held her body and turned their positions carefully so she wouldn't wake up making his body to hover above hers. The couch was wide enough for a visitor to sleep on it.

She whimpered and stirred in her sleep. He remained frozen above her watching her squirming under him. And that move of her did many things to his body without any effort.

Gulping down his not so innocent thoughts his eyes travelled all over her puffy face. Her eyes were swollen from all night crying as well as her lips but not with crying but because of the desperate kiss they shared.

He smirked a little watching the side of her lips having a bruise screaming his claim on her. But soon his smirk changed into a small smile as he stared at her innocent face.

She looked so cute while sleeping. He just wanted to pinch her chubby cheek but he knew she will wake up if he did. Leaning down he pressed his lips on the side of her lips kissing that bruise.

He carefully pulled himself off her body before leaving his coat on her body. Last night he remembered how her sleep broke off so easily but right now she seemed to be in a deep peaceful sleep. Maybe because all crying had exhausted her.

Signing heavily he again pressed a small kiss on her forehead before walking towards the man laying on the bed still drowned in the river of darkness. His brother in law.

He examined the guy for the very first time after their marriage. He had never before met Harry as he never thought of coming to the hospital till last night.

He couldn't help but compare both siblings features. They have so much in common yet Harry seems to be paler than his sister. Even his cheeks were less chubby than Amelia.

"You know Harry. You're not doing anything except killing your sister with your lack of efforts. Wake up, young man. Wake up. Not for yourself. Not for anyone. Wake up for your sister. Only for her."

Xander whispered those words keeping his body near Harry. He slowly leaned back from Harry and sighed looking at the pale guy before heading out.

Time Skip

Amelia stirred in her sleep waking up from her deep yet peaceful sleep. She never thought she will have this much peaceful sleep after all the worries she had yesterday. But Xander's comfort and warmth indeed changed her worries into a blissful dream.

She slowly pulled her body up in a sitting manner but let out a small groan feeling her muscles sore as she was laying in not so comfortable position last night.

Soon her eyes met with a coat laying on her body and an empty room except her brother was present there. She let out a sigh of disappointment. Even though she didn't want to admit but she knew she was disappointed that he left when she was asleep.

She knew he was the one who put her in this comfortable position but still she pouted displeased by her husband's lack of knowledge in romantic morning.

"Pfft I gave him a chance and the first thing he did is to leave me alone wow.  Douche." She scrunched her nose in a disappointed manner.

Scoffing at his coat she crumbling it in anger threw it on the floor before stomping to the bathroom. She got freshen up. She wanted a shower badly so she decided to finally go home.

Coming out her gaze again fell on the coat laying on the floor. She bit her lip before sighing out and grabbing it. She gently rolled it and laid it on the couch.

Her eyes went to her brother as she smiled sadly walking towards him. Kissing his forehead a few times she mumbled against his ear.

"Don't scare me like this again. Please wake up soon. I have so much to tell you. Please." She whispered before kissing his pale cheek and walking out of the room holding the coat.

"Hello, Can I have a shopping bag? I need to put my coat in it." The receptionist smiled and nodded before bringing a plastic bag and giving her. Amelia slid Xander's coat in it before walking. But in a second her steps halted leaving her frozen on her spot.

"Yesterday night one of the well know businessman Liam Stone got into a serious accident. It is said that to save an old woman who was crossing the road he turned his car in the wrong way and ended up colliding with a giant tree. He was taken to the hospital bu---"

Amelia stood there holding her breathing stared at the T.V which went deaf to her ears. Gulping down her hands started trembling. She couldn't believe it. Was it because of what she said to him?

No. She didn't want to believe that her words resulted in him in that state. Suddenly her head snapped towards the doctor who just entered the hallway with another nurse.

"Sir we are short of blood for Liam Stone." The doctor nodded his head before towards the reception and pulling the phone receiver.

"Hello. Yes, we need more blood. It's O negative. Yes, thank you. Just be fast. His condition is quite critical." Amelia without realising followed the doctor who went towards Liam's room.
