"Angel? What's wrong? You've been so quiet tonight." Patch says. He kisses my neck gently and strokes my hair. I turn around and bury my face in his chest.
"Patch" i whisper , a sob catching in my throat. Patch wraps his arms around me , pressing a kiss on my head.
"Tell me Angel" he says gently. I start crying.
"Angel" Patch's voice starts to get worried. He pulls me against him tighter and pats my back.
"I love you." i sob into his chest.
"I love you too , but tell whats going on." he gently nudges my forehead with his nose " stop crying Angel." he whispers.
"I'm p-p-pregnant" i stutter quietly.
"Thats great! Why are you crying ,Angel ?"
"I thought you would be angry" i sniffle.
"Why would I be ? I love you ! "
"Oh , Patch" i whisper , looking up through my tears. He wipes away my tears with his fingers and presses his lips to mine. I kiss him hungrily. I never grow tired of his kisses. His touch send chills down my spine , making me shudder in pleasure. Finally , he pulls back.
"I love you and I love our baby." Patch says. I smile. Our baby. He pulls back a bit and ducks his head to place a kiss on my abdomen. Giggling , i pull his head up.
"Put on your clothes" i say.
"Why? I want to stay in bed with you!" Patch moans.
"It's 11 o'clock in the morning. Time to wake up. We're going for my sonogram." i say , sitting up. He sits up too and picks up our clothes from the floor.
"To see our baby?" he asks excitedly. I nod.
" you must let me dress you."
I giggle as he helps me put on my clothes.
"Impressive" i say after i am fully dressed.
"I dress to impress" he says with a twitch of his mouth. I smile too , remembering the time we made out at a barn at Vee's wedding.
"No , Jev. You undress to impress." i say.
Suddenly, he reaches over and touches my stomach.
"It's bigger" he says.
"Ofcourse , i'm pregnant."
"No, your stomach was flat when i kissed it just now , but now it's bigger now."
I look down. Sure enough. My stomach is swelling. When i saw it in the morning , there was only a tiny bump. How could it have become so big so fast ? I look up and meet Patch's eyes.
"Our baby is not normal" i whisper , my voice cracking. Patch pulls me into his arms.
"It's alright Angel. We'll find a way. I know someone who may be able to help."
"Who?"
"Dabria's brother , Cupid" he says in a serious tone. I laugh.
"Cupid?"
"Not the cupid you read in stories. He is an angle of death like Dabria." Patch explains.
" , you want him to predict my future?"
" do you want to leave?"
"Now."
