A few days later Tatiana and I are going to my old home to let mother know about our marriage when it happens. An explosion bumps right in front of the car and a few leftovers of the thing bump in the front of the car and the crystal too with some getting through and in the car too. I turn to her and I speak agitated.
-Are you alright?
Ta-Just fine. I'm fine. Are you?
-Fine.
I sigh and loosening my grip on her I relax a bit. I turn to open the door but I have to kick it to get it out. I round the car and getting out to her side I take off the door.
Ta-Seatbelt stuck.
I nod and breaking the seatbelt with my knife I help her out of the car and just as I get her out the car explodes in flames and the initial wave gets to us and I shield her with my body as it does. I look back at the car in flames and I groan.
-I really liked that car.
Ta-I buy you another one. Oh hell.
-What?
Ta-The fireworks are..........
Just as she says that the back of the car explodes upwards turning the car around and letting all the fireworks shoot out in all directions. One comes towards us and despite that we get out of the way the end fire of the firework still burns her leg. Not really a permanent burn but enough to last for a few days.
Ta-Ouch.
-Calm down. Slight burn only. Here, let me............
I rip my sleeve from my shirt, lucky is a long sleeve, and I rip it completely and get it close to her leg.
-Take a deep breath.
She does and as soft as I can I wrap the piece around the burn and then I tie a knot and she sighs in relief.
Ta-Thanks.
-Don't mention it. They're back, let me get you home.

I take impulse and instead of jumping up I jump forward and towards home with the bandids throwing knifes at me and arrows and such things but they just give me minimal scratches. I have been attacked like this before so I know how he fights. I leave Tatiana on my room and I turn to fight just in time because everyone comes charging at me. I evade all their kicks and punches and I just knock them out until someone grabs me from the back of my shirt and he throws me.

For a moment I'm a bit dozed out and dizzy as I get up. I can hear him but my vision is blurry so I can't see what's coming clearly. I see a shadow getting bigger but my reaction is slow so I don't evade the double slap he gives me at both sides of the face. I groan falling to my knees and hands when another hit on my back throws me to the ground completely. Before I can lift myself back to my knees he grabs me by the leg upside down and I hear him laugh.
?-Pathetic. You're weak. There is nothing you can do that I won't see coming.

I laugh for a moment and balancing in a swinging motion I headbutt him hard and with a groan he let's me go just as I predicted and since I know I manage to stand upright and backing away a bit I lift my fists just in time as he comes to punch me but I avoid it giving a small jump from side to side.
-What do you want?
?-I hate you.
-So, you will never beat me anyways so go away with your hate somewhere else.
?-This will be over when one of us dies.
-No one has to die. Just go. I know all your tricks already.
At that he laughs and standing straighter he stops attacking me. My guard is even higher now when he multiples like clones of him until I'm completely surrounded. Then they all speak at the same time.
?-Not all my tricks. Do you have any way of fighting this many opponents or is it too many for you?
-I do have something actually.
At that I stand with my legs together and stretching my arms out I start spinning fast like a red tornado lashing out plasma rings, idea from xmen, that are sharp like razor blades and when I stop there is only him.
-Back to one.
With that we fall into a hand to hand exhausting combat and it keeps going on in a pretty even fight until.
Ta-Yadiel.
I give my opponent a kick on the chest hard enough to send him back and I look at her as she throws me my gun. I smile nodding at her before I turn back to him who is on his knees and hands like the first time I fell down and standing with superiority over him I press the end of the gun on the side of his head and I speak coldly.
-Do not get up.
?-Or what? Will you shoot me?
-Don't tempt me.
I frown and I pull the safety.
?-You won't shoot me.
I shoot and the sound comes off but no bullet. He looks at me puzzled.
-Next time it won't be empty.
With that I hit him with the back of the gun and he's out unconscious.

I sigh and with the adrenaline leaving my body everything hurts. Exhausted I fall to my knees and I feel a touch on my shoulder.
Ta-Take it easy. I'm here.
She hugs me and I lean in to her warmth.
-How do I look right now?
Ta-You are dirty and bloody but you're still as sexy as ever.
Remembering something important I perk up instantly.
-How's your leg? Are you alright? Did any of them got to you? Did they hurt you in any way?
Worried I get us both up and I start to check her worried at which she laughs and stopping me she hugs me.
-Why are you laughing? This is serious stuff.
Ta-I know, is just, to treat yourself you're tired but to treat me you have endless energy.
-Are you saying you're hurt?
Ta-No, I'm not hurt. Just the burn that you already treated but nothing more than that. Don't worry.
She hugs me once more and as I rest my chin on her head I see my mother coming towards us. I get Tatiana by my side and we both look at mom.

Kida-Yadiel, my sweet little boy. Is so good to see you again.
She places her hand on my cheek and smiling she cleans a drop of blood from my cheek.
-Just a minimal scratch.
Kida-Go take a shower. Different rooms.
We laugh and we go take our showers, her using my shower and I use mom's shower. After we shower we dress in gym clothes, exercising uniforms and taking my gun I get it on the holster and on the bed between the mattresses. I go out and remembering something I go back in and taking my engagement ring I get it on my finger and I sigh happy. I'm engaged and I'm marrying her at last. My daydream is broken when I hear something breaking and I imagine the worst as I realize they came from my room. Speeding towards my room I call her out.
-Tatiana!
At first I'm afraid I missed an opponent and they took her but I'm proved wrong when I enter the bathroom and I find her passed out on the shower. I turn the water off and taking a towel I lift her head on my lap as I use another towel to cover her naked body.
-Tatiana.
I sigh and with my heart I call my mother as I keep trying to wake her up.

-Tatiana. Please wake up.
Kida-Yadiel?
-In the bathroom.
She comes in and I look at her pleadingly.
-Help us.
Kida-Alcohol?
-There.
I point to a cabinet and she takes a bit of it and passes it by her face until she starts waking up.
Ta-Hmm...what? Where?
-Easy, calm down.
Kida-Take it easy.
Ta-My head.........
-What happened?
Ta-Not sure. I was getting ready to wash my hair and then, nothing.
Kida-How did you felt before passing out?
Ta-Dizzy? A bit lightheaded?
Mom touches her face on the cheeks and forehead before she backs away.
Kida-No fever.
Ta-Maybe it was the adrenaline from what happened earlier that already left my system.
Kida-Maybe.
-How are you feeling now?
Ta-Tired, just tired. I'm fine now.
I press our foreheads together and I sigh in relief.
-So glad to hear that. You scared me there for a moment.
Kida-Do you want to eat something before going to sleep?
-Tatiana.
Ta-I could use a healthy dinner.
-What's for dinner?
Kida-Pasta. Get dressed and come down, we're waiting for you two.
-Thanks mother.
She smiles and kissing my head fondly she ruffles my hair before she goes away.

At last alone she sits on the toilet and I kneel in front of her.
-Are you sure you're alright?
Ta-Yes, can you please hand me my little bag?
She points behind me at a bag by the door and taking it I give it to her.
Ta-Thanks, I always keep this close in case of emergencies or something I might need like the pantyliners or............
At that point she stops speaking and she stops looking at her bag.
-Tatiana, what's wrong?
Ta-I have not gotten my period yet.
-A little late, so?
Ta-You don't understand. Maybe, I have to check but if my hunch is right is very high the possibility that I might be pregnant.
-Pregnant?
Ta-We have been going at it very often lately and without protection either so is possible.
-You think you can check right now?
Ta-I have a cheap fast pregnancy test here but we'll have to check with a more specialized one later just to make sure. I'm doing this one for now.
-I'll wait outside. Take the trip to get your clothes.
She nods and sharing a kiss I go out and get her clothes before I come back but this time I knock.
Ta-Come on in.
-Your clothes.
She calls me over and she shows me the test.
Ta-It came out positive.
-So you are pregnant?
Ta-We still have to do a more specialised test but it seems that I am indeed pregnant. Are you disappointed by the news?
-No, I'm happy, is just, a mix of feelings and I do want to have kids but after the honeymoon.
Ta-Alright then, let's go eat and then we can speak about it later and calm.
-Go ahead, I'm going to fix my hair first.
She scoffs and giving me a kiss she dresses and she goes and I turn to brush my hair. I shave the sides in front of the ears and where the facial hair is supposed to be and applying a bit of cream I wash with a humed towel before I go join everyone for dinner.
Kida-I swear Yadiel, sometimes I think you're a lady under all that muscle.
-Mother.
Ta-He has to look beautiful always.
-Thanks, hey!
They all laugh and rolling my eyes I sit down. As I do I feel a hand ruffling my hair messy and I look at mother as I push her hand away.
-Really?
Kida-Suck it up. Anyhow, did you just came here to fight that big guy?
-No, that was a surprise attack. He can't accept the fact that I'm stronger than him.
Ta-And more handsome.
I crack a shy smile and mother laughs.
Kida-And he blushes.
-No I don't, anyhow, the reason we came here in the first place was to let you all know that we have wedding plans coming.
The entire room falls silent at the news and my mother's expression is a bit surprised.
