Our Little Family [Miles Wood] - Chapter 22- Miles Time !!

Author’s Note from 👢 anon: Hi guys, since it's b's off day. She was okay with me sending our little family. This chapter has a few surprises along the way. And yeah, there is smut, and you guys will understand why it's a must in this one. But I guess I'm a little too horny with the last few chapters of the series. Three more to go ! Enjoy !!!

During training camp, the Avs are buzzing. They have a different sense this season. The core is together for a while now, with little changes on the roster, and they're hungry. You and the other halves have a good feeling that something good will happen this season for them.

The night before the season starts, you write Miles a little note and tell him to put it somewhere safe. He can only open on the last game of the season, and he does so.

They struggle a little at the start of the season, but that doesn't change the feeling that you have.

As the season goes on, they start to roll, you know, Miles feels good with that. It makes you so happy seeing him do what he loves and doing well. The girls really enjoy watching their daddy play.

One afternoon, you guys went to visit Ross and Peyton to see their new baby. You decide to help Peyton with the baby, give her a little break- you know how hard it is. Miles talks to Ross the whole time, but you can feel his gaze on you. When you look at him, he's smiling at you with heart eyes.

You and Miles are in the car on your way to grab the girls from a playdate. You have a sense that Miles wants to say something, but he doesn’t, at least not until the car is parked. He looks at you, and you both smile.

“Are we going for the third one ?” You bite your bottom lip, nodding your head. “Yeah, I think so. Hopefully, I can give you a boy this time.” Miles brings your hand to kiss.

“It doesn't matter if it's a boy or a girl. Another kid with you is the most magical thing.” You smile and lean to kiss him.

“Let's go get our girls. We can talk about this more later.” Miles nods and pecks your lips before you both move to climb out of the car.

The way the girls come running towards you guys makes you so damn happy. Lily goes to Miles and El to you. Then they switch because they need love from both parents.

They're so chatty in the backseat while you guys drive home. They're going to crash so hard when you get home.

….

Miles is having a solid playoffs run so far. You're loving watching him do what he loves. It's very hard on his body. You try to do everything you can to make this easier for him and his body.

The late night cuddles make the playoffs run a little easier. When Miles is home, he plays with the girls and being their father. They love it so much.

You hate seeing his body go through this, but they're getting better and better as the rounds pass.

The Avs get to the Stanley Cup Final, seeing them clinch the western conference makes you cry at home watching.

You know, in the next few days, it's going to be rough. Miles is seeing everything you're doing, and he's going to make it up to you. Win or lose he’s going to take care of his wife. You do everything you can to make his life easier.

With the Avs coming home with the chance to win it all. You and the other halves prepare a surprise for the boys. A letter and a few family pictures.

The whole Wood family is at the arena. The girls are wearing their daddy jerseys, and you're in your WAG playoff jacket. Today, you let both girls sleep a little more to be up for the game.

Since the moment the puck dropped, you felt that you couldn't breathe. Eyes glued on the ice and Miles, but always checking on the girls. The Avs let the first goal in, and you feel the arena deflate a little.

During the intermissions, the girls are fed, and you need to leave the suite to breathe a little. You're probably more nervous than Miles.

In the second, he doesn't score, but has an assist to tie the game. You breathe a little better now, Miles goes fully chaotic and draws a penalty that leads to a power play goal. The arena goes insane. Even the girls go crazy.

As the clock ticks down, the arena starts to feel anxious and build up. You look at Cheryl with eyes full of tears, like this is really happening.

Miles beats an offside to take as much time as possible from the clock. He doesn't shoot, just wasting time. Then, the final buzzer of the season goes off. Sticks, gloves, and helmets get thrown into the air as the Avs players move to hug each other.

Everybody in the suite hugs each other, so happy for the guys on the ice. You hug both of your daughters, saying to them that Daddy did it.

The players hug each other then go through the hand shake line. Then they stand at center ice for the presentations. First the Conn Smythe and then the cup. You film everything.

The cup is handed to Miles, you watch your man lift the cup and have the lap with the cup. The girls go crazy seeing their dad on the jumbotron.

An Avs employee comes to call all the families to head down to the ice. You stop by the ice entrance, but you can't get inside yet. The girls rush to the ice looking for their dad, Cheryl and Randy are right behind them.

Miles sees them smiling so hard, that man can't stop smiling. He scoops both girls as you squat watching the scene in front of you. He kisses the girls, hugging them so hard, then he hugs his parents, but he's not fully there. He asks Cheryl where you are, and she points to the entrance.

He puts the girls down before skating towards you. He lowers himself to be at eye level with you. He cleans the tears that are streaming down your cheeks.

“You did it !!!” Miles smiles again, shaking his head.

“No baby, we did it. Without you, this wasn't going to happen. This cup is yours too, it's going to be my name there, but yours is there too.”

Miles helps you get up before bringing you for a kiss. You lost yourself a little into the kiss before pulling back. The beard is not that good. You brush his cheek.

“I don't like you shaved, but this needs to go.” Miles laughs before skating with you back on the ice.

You guys take a few pictures with the cup, just the two of you, then Miles and the girls, Miles and his parents, then the whole family. Ross comes to say hi, you talk a little with Peyton.

The boys start going to the locker room to celebrate. Cheryl tells you to stay with Miles that they'll take the girls home and for you to have fun. Both girls are starting to get grumpy.

Miles says goodbye to the girls, saying that Daddy will be home soon. Miles kisses you one more time before he goes. You say goodbye to the girls and that you'll see them soon. The girls go home, and you follow the other halves to wait for the guys.

Miles drinks the champagne and smokes the cigars. He takes a step aside to grab the note you gave him. He opens and grins so hard.

“Congratulations, my Stanley Cup champion.” With the summer date. He almost cried. You really believed in him before he did.

While you guys wait for the boys, Mel gives everyone a task to look for places for them to go.

Miles comes out with his shirt, basically open. You laugh at your man. He comes and hugs you.

“Thank you, babe. You're the best.” He says a little drunk, resting on your forehead.

“I'm not the one that just won a big accomplishment, Woody.” Miles kisses you again as you make sure his shirt only has three buttons opened the way he likes.

You pull him close, feeling his abs. You nibble his bottom lip. Miles kisses your temple. He pulls you by the waist as you guys walk down the hall. He pins you against his car in the parking lot. “Babe, we'll have fun later. I want this, too, but you need to enjoy this first.” Miles groans, pouting, but he kisses you and nods.

You move to the driver side so you can drive. Miles smiles at you so damn in love and a little drunk. You guys go around with the players, Miles makes you drink from the cup.

He's so happy, and you basically just watch him have fun. It's almost 2 am. when you pull him outside to talk. You guys have changed places a few times already.

“Babe, I'm going home.” Miles doesn't understand at first, so he leans close to you. “What ???” You kiss his cheek.

“Babe, I'm going home. I'm very tired right now.” He pouts big time. “but…babe” You sigh

“Babe I'm up since 6 am, the girls were a lot during the day. I'm really tired and I want you to enjoy this moment with your teammates.” He's not a fan. He looks at you with glassy eyes. He can see that you're exhausted, but are keeping it together for him.

“Okay, but you're going to let me know when you get home right.” You smile softly, fixing his hair. “Yeah, I will, and maybe we can have some fun when you get home.” Miles smirks because that's what he wants.

“I love you so much sweetheart thank you for being a part of this and always believing me.” You brush his cheek, “I love you, and you don't have to thank me. This is yours. You did.”

Miles pulls you into a passionate kiss. “See you later, have fun. Love you.” He holds your hand. “I'll be home soon, love you.” You peck his lips one more time before moving to his car.

You get home, move to shower before going to give your girls kisses. You lay in bed with Lily for 10 minutes, and then you spend 10 minutes with El.

Now you can go to bed. It's insane to you that Miles is finally a Stanley Cup Champion. You cry because this was a long time coming, Miles thought that this was never going to happen, but it did it. You couldn't be more proud of him.

You sleep in and out, around 5 am you hear Miles coming in. You smile to yourself, you shift to sit against the headboard.

Miles opens smiles looking all silly, he's not that drunk right now. “I'm so so proud of you, babe.” He smiles, stripping his dress shirt on his way to you. You take a deep breath seeing the beating his body took.

He crawls into the bed, between your legs and rests his head on your chest. You play with his hair, Miles hums before lifting his face to look at you. “I love making you proud.” You brush his lips with your thumb with a soft smile. “You always make me proud, babe.”

That makes him giddy. You think Miles is asleep because he doesn't say anything else. Then you feel his hand sliding under your shirt looking for your nipple.

You take a sharp breath when his callous fingers brush against your nipple, you can feel Miles smiling against your chest. You shake your head, a little moan escaping from your lips.

That's when Miles lift his head to look at you again. “Do you want to ?” You look at him, brushing your thumb along his cheek. “Yeah I do, but are you sober enough ?”

He looks at you looking like a lost puppy. “Yeah, I am, stopped drinking a couple hours go. But if you don't want to, we can wait.” You smile at him. “I don't want to wait, but you're not putting that beard between my legs.”

He wasn't expecting that and he's surprised. “Babe, your beard went through cigars, champagne and I don’t know what else today. Who knows what that can cause, and that means no sex for you.” He doesn't like that at all, so he'll behave. “Okay, but after I shave I'll get my reward.” You chuckle before bringing him for a kiss.

Miles shifts so he can be a little more comfortable while you guys kiss. He slides a hand under your clothes, he teases your clit first, then he starts to rub painfully slow circles on your clit. You whine against his lips.

Then he teases your entrance, you want to punch him but it feels so good. And you know he's getting you wet for him. Two can play this game. You reach for his cock over his pants, brushing your fingers along his length.

Miles nibbles your bottom lip as he slides a finger inside you. You moan trying to reach for his dick. He swats your hand because this is his moment. He slides the second finger to stretch you out. When he feels that you're wet for him. Miles stops, he takes your underwear with him before he does the same with himself.

You watch him jerk himself, you bite your bottom lip. You need that man inside you. Miles moves back to be between your legs. He lines himself with your entrance, “are you ready babe ?” You watch him in his full glory. “Yeah, I am.” He smirks before kissing you.

Miles slides inside you, he makes you moan at the feeling of him stretching you out. He kisses you before he starts to move with a nice tempo and then he stops.

“Babe, maybe this is when your baby boy happens.” You chuckle, shaking your head.

“Babe, just fuck me.” This time Miles giggles and slaps his hips hard against your ass. You moan digging your nails on his biceps.

Miles likes that and he starts to speed the tempo up. Looking for his orgasm but he's not going to let you hang. So he moves his thumb to brush against your clit. He says a few dirty things to you and you start to get closer and closer.

Miles lowers himself as much as possible. “I'm going to make you a mom again.” and that's it, that's when you cum hard around him, making yourself so tight that makes Miles cum too. Giving you a really heavy load. He drops himself on top of you, putting most of his weight on the bed.

You play with his hair. “I love you, my Stanley Cup Champion.” Miles turns his face to kiss your neck.

“I love you.” You smile, brushing a finger over his shoulder blade.

You stay like that until you feel Miles getting soft inside you. You move your hand to pull him off you. This is going to be a mess. Your husband is completely out beside you.

You move Miles to his side and try to figure out how you're going to walk to the bathroom. Well you mess up the floor as you get your panties. You put it on and rush to the bathroom, after peeing you take a shower because your thighs are sticky.

You bring a rag to clean Miles and to clean the floor. First Miles, and you give him clean underwear. Then the floor. You check the time when you hear the birds outside. It's early and you need to sleep.

You lay in bed with Miles trying to get as much sleep as possible. But your mom clock wakes you not too long after falling asleep. El will be up soon followed by Lily. You kiss Miles' cheek before you get up to get ready.

After using the bathroom and getting ready. You go check on El to see if she's up. She's playing with the stuffed animal Lily got her. You call her softly. She smiles at you around her pacifier, then she makes grabby hands for you to get her. You chuckle as you walk to pick her up, she still sleepy so she lays her head on your shoulder.

As you guys walk downstairs she asks about her dada, you say dada is resting and that he'll join you guys soon. You check on Lily but she is still sleeping. So you guys will cuddle outside before moving to make breakfast.

You and El cuddle while she has her bottle, soft mornings like this make things worth. After El finishes her bottle, you take her upstairs. You leave a bottle of water and some meds for Miles, before going to see if Lily is up.

Lily is up waiting for you guys, she smiles at you as El giggles because she loves her big sister. Lily comes to hug your side, all the three Wood girls go downstairs for cuddles and food.

Cheryl joins you a couple minutes after you started to grab the food for breakfast. Lily wants to help and you let her. El is all smiley on her highchair while you and Cheryl work on breakfast.

Miles wakes up with a groan, when he starts to smell food and coffee. He checks the bed beside him and you're not there. He drinks the whole bottle of water before going to the bathroom. He needs to call his barber to take care of his beard. It feels like a dream that he won the cup.

He comes downstairs to join you guys, as soon as Lily sees him she's bolting to hug her dad. El goes crazy in her chair because she wants that too. You take her out of the chair and she runs as fast her little legs let her.

Miles hugs both of his girls and smile at you. You smile back as you move to prepare a mug of coffee for him. He sits with both girls on his lap just talking to them.

All the family is there, talking and eating. Miles is still waiting for the schedule, but the parade is tomorrow and it's going to be incredible to celebrate him.

The rest of the day is pretty chill, Miles leaves the house for his appointment, and when he's back, you're asleep. Cheryl told you to go to sleep, and she would look after the girls. You're very thankful for that.

Miles comes into your bedroom, and you're sleeping so peacefully. He lays in bed with you. His first idea was just to cuddle, but he shaved, and he needed his reward.

He starts to rub his smooth face on your cheek until you stir. You roll facing him, and he smiles before touching your lips with his lips softly. You smile, moving closer to him. Miles hands rest on your lower back, you like that, and hums when his hand touches your skin under your shirt.

You're still sleepy, so you move closer to his body. You brush your thumb over his cheek, feeling the smooth skin.

“You shaved.” Miles moves his hand higher on your back.

“Yeah, I did. I need my reward.” You chuckle nodding. You like feeling Miles’ hand exploring your body.

“Kiss me first, then you can have your reward.” Miles likes that very much and leans to kiss you. You hum against his mouth.

The kiss is lazy because you're still asleep, but then you start to wake up, and the kiss becomes hot and heavy. Miles hooks your leg over his hips, giving him a little more access.

When you grind against him, he knows you're ready for him. He slides his hand under your clothes to touch you. You moan, feeling his fingers between your legs.

Miles runs his finger along your folds before sliding in to feel if you're ready. He moans, feeling how wet you're for him. He kisses your jaw before moving down. You watch his movements. When he gets to your pants, he pulls your pants and underwear together.

He spreads your legs as he settles between them. He licks your folds up and down a few times before you tug his hair, bringing his face to where you want him. Miles chuckles before doing what you both need and want.

Miles looks at you between your legs as he spreads your fold with two fingers, he smirks seeing your clit. When you're about to whine that he's taking so long, he goes for it. He scrapes his teeth on your clit, then he starts to do kitten licks, that are painfully slow. Miles pulls all the stops, sucking, nibbling and sliding two fingers inside you.

You look down, and Miles is grinding against the bed. That's so sexy. You want him to fuck you, but knowing Miles he'll just eat you out. You start to feel the knot on your stomach and mumbles a few times to Miles that you're going to cum.

He takes that as a mission and pulls out all the things he knows that are going to make you cum. You put your hand over your mouth to muffle your sounds. You're so spent as you come down from your high.

Miles watches you the whole time. You give him a blissful smile, motioning for him to come closer. He moves up, and he lays beside you. You reach for his cock.

“Later Babe.” You pout when Miles holds your hand.

“But I want you.” He just chuckles as he leans to kiss your cheek.

“I know, I just wanted to eat you out. We can have more fun later.” You nod and cuddle against his side.

You start to get sleepy again, Miles moves to carry you to the bathroom first. You watch him from the toilet, you smile so bright, and he matches your smile.

You take another nap, and when you wake up, Miles is not in bed with you. He's downstairs with the girls.

The next couple hours is family time, until Miles leaves to meet his teammates.

While Miles is out and the girls are sleeping, you organize everything for the parade. Diaper bag, snacks, their daddy's jerseys and clothes. When everything is ready, you go to bed.

The next morning is a little chaotic. Getting everybody ready in time is a lot. But you guys manage. Miles needs to be inside the arena first to take pictures and do media. You're wearing jeans and a miles t-shirt, which makes everybody laugh. You stay in the family area with the girls and Miles’ family.

After the guys leave the arena, you guys, plus Ross, go to the truck. The girls are loving every moment. You just ask Miles to be careful with them if he moves them around.

You sit on the back with Cheryl and Randy, just paying attention to the girls and seeing how happy Miles is. He's beaming, and that man can't stop smiling. halfway through the route, you move closer to him to give him water to drink. He smiles at you and pecks your lips, thanking you for the water.

You're watching the girls playing with Ross. When you look forward, Miles is squatting in front of you.

“Are you having fun ?” You blink a few times looking at him. “Yeah, why ?” He cups your cheek with his hand.

“You don't look like you're having fun.” You kiss his hand.

“I'm, but today is not about me, babe. It's about you.” Miles looks a little worried.

“But…” You smile at him.

“Go have fun, babe. I'm okay, I promise, and Ross could use some help with the girls.” Miles follows your eyes, just in time to see Ross being mobbed by the girls.

Miles smiles at you as he leans to kiss you. You push him to go have fun. He helps Ross with the girls as you apologize to Peyton. She brushes you off because it's fine. The girls are having a blast.

By the end of the parade, you and the girls are exhausted. Lily is sleeping on you, and El is in her stroller during the team speech at City Hall. Cheryl is closer to El. By the time everything ends, you just want to crawl into bed and sleep for a lot of days.

After they finish everything, Miles comes to join you guys. He can't stop smiling. It's the most adorable thing ever. He kisses you as he picks Lily from you.

You drive the whole family home. Miles carries Lily to her room as you carry El. After both girls are in bed, you decide to take a quick shower.

Miles joins you, and he hugs you from behind, kissing your neck. You sigh. This is the most peaceful moment all day.

“Thank you.” You're a little confused and spin to look at Miles.

“For what ?” Miles peck your lips.

“For believing in me, last year we were in this same room, and you told me that my name is going to be on the cup, and now it’s there. I'm always going to be a Stanley Cup champion, but you're the real champion.” You hug him. You don't have words right now.

“Babe, look at me.” You shift your head to look at Miles. “You're the reason I can do what I do. You changed my life for the better, and now we're champions.” You smile. To him, he's the only champion, and you're not doing much.

You kiss him deeper this time before finishing with your shower, so you guys can sleep.

—---

Summer has been chaotic, just like the man you married. You and Miles were struggling to find a lot to buy for the house. When you were almost giving up, you found the perfect place. It's big, a lake is behind the land, and it's just perfect for your family. Miles put in the offer, and they accepted. Now it's yours.

The next step is to find someone to design the house and then start building. Miles wants your input on everything. This is going to be your dream house.

Miles’ day with the cup is coming up, so you're organizing everything. You asked him to go grab a few things that you need for decorating and food. But also, you need an excuse for him to leave the house.

The thing is, a few weeks back, your period was late. At first, you thought it was the playoffs stress, but then you started to feel a little sick. That's when you knew you needed the test. And it came with the answer you were expecting: you're pregnant again ! You texted your doctor to ask if she knew someone in Massachusetts who could confirm for you. She did, and you went the day after for the blood test. The answer was the same, you guys are having a cup baby.

You're a little nervous to tell him, but you know he's going to be happy. With Miles out of the house, you left the girls playing in the living room with a few toys, and you asked Lily to play with the tiny cup when Daddy got home.

You're in the kitchen cutting fruits for the girls when Miles gets home. And Lily does exactly what you asked. She grabs one of her dolls and puts on the cup a few times in front of Miles.

“Sweetheart, what are you doing ?” Lily looks at him with the same toothless smile that makes Miles so weak for her.

“Mommy said we're putting the baby in the cup.” He's so confused at that. He asks her again, and it's the same answer. So he rushes to find you.

“Babe, is it true ?" Miles asks you, he catches you by surprise, but you know what he means.

“Is what true?" You reply while cutting the fruits for the girls' snacks.

"What Lil just told me, it is true ?" He thinks that you're playing with him.

"Idk, what did she tell you?" You say as you face him.

"Don't play with me, babe. Is it true ?" He's getting very annoyed.

"What is true, Miles? Idk what you are talking about." You let him know.

"Are we having a cup baby?" Now he makes sense.

"Oh, that? Yeah, that's very true, we're having a cup baby." You tell him smiling.

Miles smiles so bright as he rushes to hug you. You put the knife down as he spins you around.

“We're having a cup baby !!!!” You chuckle as he puts you down. He kisses you before he drops to kiss your stomach.

“You're already so loved, babe.” You shake your head as he talks to your belly.

The girls come in, Lily holding El's hand so they get there at the same time. You smile at your girls, and they join you for a family hug. You pick up El and Miles picks Lily up for the hug.

You and Miles look at each other, with the same look in your eyes.

“Now our family is complete.” You peck his lips.

Hi! Hope you don’t mind a 2 part prompt but I have to ask and tell you this idea!

For the Ice Queen/Tyrant King AU

(Pt1)

We know that Kro tried to poison Thena. What if the little heiress wants to take revenge on Gil by harming him?

An assasination through a Hitman. Gil gets shot 3 times (we need the drama, darling) and gets rushed in a hospital and is undergoing a surgery with his condition being critical. Thena is worried that Gil hasn’t showed up for their lunch so she calls his secretary and learns what happened to him.

Gil had been in surgery for three hours already.

They were supposed to have lunch. She had been waiting, expecting him. He could have been wrapped up in business, but when she had waited past a half hour with no word she had called.

Gil had been shot 3 times, two to the ribs and one close to his clavicle. Surgery had to be performed, although it was unclear if the bullets would really have to be removed or not. They weren't that far along yet--his condition wasn't that stable yet.

Thena had taken the news from his office and left, immediately finding out that he had been rushed via ambulance straight to Ajak's care. She was the one operating on him now, she had to imagine. The Ice Queen had gone straight there, waiting for word on his condition, telling Kingo she was indisposed until further notice.

She had been pacing around in the waiting room--emptied for the sake of the privacy of the case. That, and she would have sent away anyone else there anyway. She checked the clock regularly, every single minute seeming to drag on like trying to swim to the surface with an anchor around her waist.

She refused to cry. She was in the business--she knew the risks, the dangers. She knew that their lives would never know a contentment that the everyday person could. Their stakes were too high, their businesses too important. She had seen the consequences of business before. She had been in a very similar position herself, before. There was no reason for this to shake her terribly.

She hadn't stopped shaking.

"Thena!"

The Ice Queen nearly collapsed as Sersi came running out to her, her scrubs covered in blood after assisting Ajak in surgery. "S-S-Ser...Sersi..."

The Poison Princess' face crumbled as Thena tried desperately to collect enough breath to speak. She was even more ghostly pale than usual. Sersi walked over, putting her hands on Thena's shoulders, "he's pulled through, Thena. Just breathe."

"H-H-He...he's-"

"Breathe, breathe," Sersi repeated, holding Thena's eyes to hers and breathing in deeply to encourage Thena to follow. Some air did come into Thena's lungs, her shoulders moving as she did. Sersi could feel the cold sweat on Thena's skin. "We stopped all the bleeding, repaired what we could. I'm not saying he's in the best shape, and we'll keep a close eye on his condition until he wakes up. But he's through the worst, right now."

Thena's knees unlocked, nearly dropping her to the ground in a heap. Sersi caught her, letting Thena use her for support however she needed. "Th-Th...Than..."

"It's okay," Sersi whispered, pulling Thena into her arms to embrace her as much as the Ice Queen would allow. Although, in a surprising turn, Thena leaned into Sersi's comfort. Sersi whispered and hushed and cooed gently against Thena's thick blonde hair, letting her bury her tears alongside Gil's blood.

Thena pulled away, swiping at her cheeks. Sersi did as well, wiping away tears and the faintest marks of blood that had gotten on her reddened skin. "Can I see him?"

"They're moving him to a room now," Sersi whispered. "But you should be...prepared--mentally."

Thena looked at Sersi--at her friend. "Do we know?"

Who had done it. She was asking if they knew who had attacked the Tyrant King.

Sersi shook her head. "We're looking, Thena, I promise. But it wasn't anyone from Koreatown."

It was outside work.

Thena gave Sersi's arm a squeeze as she prepared to find her way to Gilgamesh's side. "Ask Kari? A-And Druig--maybe he's seen something or some-"

Sersi nodded, cutting Thena off with the promise of doing so. "You go. We'll find them, Thena."

The blonde nodded, sniffling again as Sersi headed back behind the double doors. Thena took in another deep breath, pulling her lace around herself so tightly she wondered if the family heirloom would withstand it.

Thena moved numbly through the halls until she reached the room given to the Tyrant King. She could hear the cold, sterile sound of monitors and sensors and machinery. She opened the door, nearly collapsing again as she saw him.

Gil was lying more still than she had ever seen him, breathing evenly at least, with an oxygen mask over his face. One of his lungs must have been damaged.

Thena collapsed into the seat next to his bed. This wing of the hospital was Ajak's, and only people privy to their business would be here anyway. But even if they had been in a civilian hospital, Thena wondered if she would be able to resist falling to her knees.

The tears came again at the sight of him. She never could have guessed what seeing him like this would be like in her mind. It was so different from their line of work, or even when her friends had been injured because of their business. It was so, so different.

Everything she loved was lying in that bed. It was hard not to feel like her entire future was there, sprawled out in front of her but dangling precariously out of her reach. She could try and hold on as tight as she could, but what happened from here was technically out of her control.

"Oh, Gil," she sighed, moving closer. She ran a knuckle over his cheek, noting the pallor of his skin. He was heavily sedated, for the pain, in a deep sleep. And yet he lacked the signs of his naturally relaxed sleep. He didn't have a slight smile on his face, he wasn't drooling, or snoring.

Her Gil was barely there.

Thena pulled her hand up with his, bringing his ring tattoo to her lips and kissing it lightly. "I'm right here, Nae Sarang."

No response, of course.

"I'm so sorry," she whispered, holding his hand and watching every rise and fall of his chest desperately. "If I had been with you..."

He would tell her that he wouldn't have wanted that--that she could have gotten hurt along with him. And he wouldn't want that.

"I never would have let this happen."

He would have taken any bullet--any hardship and pain. He would take it to save her from it. But she would too. If she had been there, she would have given her life for him just as quickly. Not that it was in her nature to give up anything willingly. But for Gil, she realised, she would.

She would take on this pain for him if she could.

Thena leaned over, kissing his cheek. "You rest. I'll take care of things, don't you worry."

She picked up his jacket, slipping it around her shoulders as she sat down again. It still smelled like him, offering her what minimal comfort it could. She pulled out her phone.

"Boss, I heard about the big guy, how is-"

"Kingo," she uttered, silencing him immediately. She kept Gil's hand in hers, her fingers clinging to his, "find me the Little Heiress. Bring her to me."

"Thena, I-"

"I want her hand delivered to Gil's office for me."
