•YOUR POV•

"No."

"Please! (Y/n)!"

"Vylad! If you want to go on this honeymoon then go on your own! Clearly, you don't want to protect your daughter!!!"

"I do! I very much do! But it's just we can trust our friends and family to take care of her! They'll not leave her 24/7!"

I turned away from him and crosse my arms. I am not happy over his attitude.

I felt his hands on my shoulder, but I shrug them off. "Maybe you should think twice on what you just said. Cause to me, it sounds like you don't love and care for your daughter."

I turn to go upstairs, leaving Vylad in the living room. I head up to Maya's room and check to see her sleeping peacefully.

I sat down on the chair next to the crib and held her tiny little hand.
"Don't worry, mama won't ever leave you....."

*Riinnggg*

I quickly answered my phone.

"Hello?"

"Hey bestie!"

"Mark Tuan..."

"The one and only. Hey how you been?"

"Okay I guess...."

"Well then I guess you're not fine. Listen I know what happened in the wedding was something terrifying, but just remember that you guys are all safe now."

"For now, Mark. I'm scared..."

"I know you are, please don't cry."

I held in my tears as I massaged my head. "Vylad has been asking me non stop to go the honeymoon. Mark.....I can't leave. It's selfish of me to enjoy my time while not worrying over my daughter!"

"I think it's best to go....."

"What?!"

"Listen (y/n), I know what you're dealing with right now. Please....but just think about it. You have been worrying non stop, I kept getting calls from Vylad that you haven't ate for 2 days! Two days!"

"...I—"

"I'm saying all of this as your best friend....you can trust us to take care of your family. I understand that Maya is someone special, though all of us here can be trusted with her."

I stayed silent and hung up. It's rude....but I just needed time....

•Travis' POV•

"You look awful...." I said to Vylad as we sat down at our table....in 3 am in the morning.

"Thanks, I didin't notice...." he said it sarcastically yet so tiredly.

"So what made you call me at 3 in the morning?" I ask as I sip at my coffee.

".....it's just (y/n)....."

"Mmmhmmm keep going...."

"Well...I messed up. I was telling her that it may be the best for us to go to our honeymoon cause we have been stress from the wedding and yeah....but she took it the wrong way...."

"I mean, that's my sister alright. Vylad it's not entirely your fault...."

"I want Maya to be safe too, I love her. She's my daughter for Irene's sake.
But (Y/n) thinks otherwise. She hasn't talked to me and even didn't went down for dinner, but just stayed in Maya's room."

"Give some time to her, it's obvious that she's still over shock and afraid over what happened in the wedding...."

"I just want her happy...."

"We all do...."
I yawned and look at my phone to check the time.
"So what have you been doing up so late?" I ask.

"I couldn't sleep without (Y/n) beside me. It felt empty and upsetting...."

"I know how you feel. I'm like that when Katelyn just kicks me out of our room to sleep on the sofa instead."

Vylad chuckled and we heard the cafe's bell ring from the door and saw

"Mark?" Vylad called out.

"Oh hey guys, fancy seeing you here....in 3 am in the morning..."

"Same goes to you, what are you doing here?" I asked.

"Just picking up some snacks. What are you guys doing here?"

"...just talking...." Vylad said tiredly yet you can hear the sadness in his voice.

"I've heard what (y/n) told me about your guys' situation."

"What did she say?" Vylad asks.

"She said she's worried and scared. She thinks it's selfish of her to leave her daughter unprotected."

Vylad looks down at his coffee. "Maybe i should just consider her choice and cancel the honeymoon...."

"No, Vylad I agree in what you're doing. I want (y/n) to relax and have fun too. She has been stressed out so much and because of what happened in the wedding, that made her more stress.
She needs time to be away from this."

"I agree with Mark." I said.

"But how will I convince her?"

"Like how every guy charm their girl." I said. "You can try that..."

•YOUR POV•

"I'm not....leaving you ever..." I yawned so loud as I carry Maya to the kitchen.

I haven't ate nor slept, I've just kept my eyes on Maya. But I'll do anything to protect her.

"What....shall we eat dear?" I ask her.

"Mama!"

"No haha....you can't eat me..."

I open the fridge and saw nothing. I sighed as I close the fridge and placed Maya on her baby chair.

I check the cupboards and found no food at all. I start to get a bit frustrated and check the lower cabinets.

"Why is there no food in this house?!" I exclaimed.

I heard Maya crying and I quickly went over to her and carry her in my arms. I rub her back while lightly jumping to calm her down.

"Maya...shhhh I'm Sorry..."

She stopped crying for a bit and I placed her back on her chair, going to search the pantry if we have any food left.

I went to the small pantry room and turned on the lights if we have anything.

"Oh Come on!" All is left is just some canned food which are expired by this point.

I turned off the lights and went back out to see Vylad cooking up something.
He turned to see me and gave me a weak smile.

"Morning hun...."

I turned away from him and walk to the backyard.
I'm still mad at him, but i just need some time off.

I sat down on one of the chairs and look over at the backyard. I hear the distant waves while closing my eyes from the shore and it just calms my nerves down.

I felt a presence beside me and I furrowed my eyebrows and opened them.
"What do you want?" I ask, not turning towards him.

"Please hun, listen to me...." Vylad sat beside me and gave me a bouquet of flowers.

I took it and placed it aggressively onto the table.

"Sure! Tell me more on why I should leave my daughter for going on a happy and luxury vacation?!" I asked facing him with the most irritated yet bright smile on my face.

"Babe...."

"Go on Vylad! You have my interest...." I smiled even brighter.

"Stop that....how you're acting is wrong."

I dropped my smile and gave him a frustrated look. "Than what is wrong?! Me agreeing to go on this honeymoon? Or staying for our daughter?!"

Vylad grab a hold of my hands and wiped my tears. I didn't even realize I was crying.

"(Y/n)....please let me explain. I'm sorry. I should have understand and respected your choice.
I don't want us to fight over this, for Irene's sake we just got married 4 days ago...."
He caresses my cheek and sighed.
"Whatever happens, for now on, I'll respect it..."

I sighed and I placed my hand on top of his, on my cheek.
"I just.....I just need time to think...."

I stood up and walked to go back inside, but Vylad grabbed my arm and pulls me into his arms.
Wrapped around him giving me this warm feeling.

"I love you Okay?" He says.

"I love you too...."

He leaned in pressing his soft lips against mine, his lips being so warm against my cold ones.

I pulled away and smiled lightly.
He losses his tightness around me, letting me go back inside.

I went back in and saw Maya fell asleep on her chair, mushing the peanut butter sauce around her face.

I giggled and carry her gently to her room.
I placed her on her diaper changing desk and she was awake by now.

I kept her awake as much as possible so I could clean her face and change her.

"Come on baby...just a bit more longer...." I was holding her up so she won't fall asleep.

I manage to clean her face and got to change her clothes and diapers.
I rock her to sleep and placed her gently in the crib.

She fell asleep instantly and I thought for a second.
All of this about the honeymoon is getting in my head.

I look down at Maya and kissed her head.
I close the door quietly and head downstairs. I heard the piano being played and I look over from the stairs to see Vylad playing.

(CUE MUSICA!)

I leaned over on the wall, arms crossed as I watch him engrossed with the piano.

I remember that Vylad says that if he is ever upset or stress, one of his reliefs were playing the piano cause it reminds him about his grandmother and she was always so caring for him and his brothers.

It's just a way to feel that his grandmother is right there beside him. Being there for him....

I stayed at my spot and watch him playing with such passion. I somehow felt bad and felt that him playing the piano was gradually my fault.

Since he plays the piano when he's upset or stress, he must be upset over me....over this whole situation.

I slide down against the wall and look down at my lap.
I'm the one who's selfish.....

I brought my knees together and placed my arms on them, listening to the sweet piano melody.
I put my chin on top of my arms and look up to watch him play.

He then stopped and noticed me. His eyes were shock to see me, but then softened and he walked over to me.

"I'm sorry Vylad....over how I was acting...." I said, looking up at him.

He smiled and crouch down so his eye level would be the same as mine.
He placed his hand on my cheek and caress it.

"I'm sorry too, over how pushy I was. You're right, I should've think on what I said.
Just know that I too want Maya to be safe, but I also want you to be happy...."

"That's sweet of you Vylad...." I grab onto his hand that was on my cheek.

"You were so stressed over the wedding and now this....I just can't bare to see you worried and not sleeping nor eating for days."

"I.....I guess I was just overthinking the problem...."

"There's nothing wrong for you to overthink this. I would too.....but maybe take a bit of days off."

"How about 2 weeks?" I ask.

"Isn't that too long for your liking?" He asks back.

"Well 2 weeks is what we originally planned for our honeymoon right?" I ask.

Vylad eyes lighten. "You....you mean it?"

"I have been thinking and understanding on what you must of felt seeing me like this. I would too towards you, so maybe this honeymoon would be a good part of the solution."

"You really means it?!"

I laughed. "Ye—VYLAD!!!"

He picked me up and twirl me around in his arms. I made sure I wrapped my arms and legs securely around him to not fall.

He stopped and looked at me close with a bright smile, wrapping his arms around my waist.
"Are you that happy?!" I asked.

"Of course! I will be spending time with my lovely wife, not to mention that I can't wait for you to see where we are going!"

I blushed at him calling me his lovely wife. "...speaking of which, where are we going?"

Vylad pecked my lips and smiled. "It's a surprise!"

I pouted, but that made Vylad giving me another kiss. I kept the pout on and Vylad just kept pecking it.

"You ain't fooling me!" He says.

"Fine, no cuddles for the entire honeymoon."

"What?!"

With that, Vylad accidentally dropped me and I landed on my butt, sending a shock of pain.

"OWWWW!!!"

"OH BABY I'M SO SORRY!!!"

Vylad kneels down and sat on the floor, pulling me in his embrace, comforting me while patting my hair.

"I-it hurts...." I said.

"I know....I can kiss it better if you want to~" I look up at Vylad with an annoyed look, just to see him smirking back at me.

"Not a chance....just give me kisses..." I pouted at him, which made Vylad smiled and kiss me all over my face, neck and even arms.

He gave me a few pecks on the lips, leaving he last one a bit more longer.

"I love you...." I said.

"I love you too."
