Hey. I transferred the money into your account so you can stop bitching at me about it.

...

Howsit Mickey Mouse. Long time.

I'm stationed at Richards Bay now. It's a 2 year thing so there won't be a chance of me coming over that side anytime soon. I met someone too. She's one of the chefs over here and I know she'll never come close to my baby but...

She's special.

See you around man.

...

Hey Mickey Mouse.

You're a hard man to get a hold of ever since you started working at that fancy school so this will have to do. I'm having another kid so...

Lucky number 6 huh.

...

Hey Mika. Just to remind you- we have parent's day today so I'll only be home at about 7 or so. But I have a surprise for you!

I think it's a good one.

...

"These children are fucking dom."

They were on the couch surrounded by separate piles of test papers in desperate need of marking yet neither were getting very far. The tv was on for background noise but it was drowned out by the steady tap of raindrops as it pelted against their windows.

"Agreed."Hoori mumbled, tucking her legs beneath her as she sifted through what felt like the thousandth composition.

"Look at this fucker..."Mikaeel grumbled. "A transcription is a signed slip from a doctor allowing you to retrieve medication from the chemist." He set the paper back down, rubbing the bridge of nose tiredly. "What the fuck..."

"I think we need a break." Mikaeel felt her gently pry the paper from his hands before she set it on the table with the other papers. She untucked her legs, stretching them lazily over Mikaeel's lap before resting her head on the armrest. "So how was your day?"

"Ilhaam's pregnant again."

"Again?"Hoori's eyes widened as she heard the news. "What's that? Number 6?"

"They clearly know jackshit about contraception."

She snorted at his reply, only too used to his snarky comments by now. "You're such a rubbish sometimes." She teased.

"I'm a what?"

"A rubbish."She shrieked as he tickled her beneath her knee.

"A what? Say that again?" He asked, running his fingers over the sensitive skin.

"A rubbish..."Her words sounded breathless as she collapsed into crazy giggles over his ministrations.

His fingers trailed slowly over her thigh, causing a soft gasp to escape her lips at the sudden change. "Really?" His hands ran lightly over her inner thigh before moving over the zip of her jeans...

"Uhm hmm."She shifted backwards involuntarily as his fingers grazed softly over the skin of her stomach.

"So then why did you let me put my baby in you, hmm?" He tapped her belly softly with the tip of his finger.

"I didn't let you do anything..." She smiled, relaxing into his touch as he traced tiny circles over her skin.

"You sure about that?"

He grabbed her arm suddenly, pulling her up so that her upper body collapsed into his side rather clumsily. She had to adjust her legs, raising her knees over his lap so that she could sit comfortably against him.

"Ya I'm sure." Her lips curled into a smile even though she knew she was digging herself further and further into a really deep hole.

"If I remember correctly," his lips grazed the shell of her ear as he spoke, "Wasn't it you who..." Hoori's entire face blushed bright red as he continue to whisper whatever naughty things into her ears.

She gasped as he caught her earlobe gently between his teeth, "Did I really do that?"

"Uh huh."He sounded distracted as his lips grazed lightly over the juncture between her neck and her shoulder.

"Are you just trying to prove that you're not lying?" she asked, turning her head to face him before she brushed her lips over his.

"Something like that." He mumbled, his hands skimming over the buttons of her shirt before he leaned over to kiss her once again...

...

She was tracing her fingers gently over the light red scar across his ribs as he replied to whatever message it was on his phone, eyeing him warily as his muscles stiffened in annoyance. "What?"

"Fucking Imtiyaaz...."He muttered, "He's such a fucking whiny bitch. He's lost the fucking plot ever since Nooreen left."

"At least he's finally paying you back." She said hoping it was helpful.

"He's fucking broke. He can't even give me his snot." He scoffed. "My mother's paying it off for him. Fucking bastard..."

"Seriously?" Hoori sat up to look at him, feeling the ends of her hair tickle the small of her back.

"Ya..."

"Will he even be at Riyaadh's wedding?" She asked, referring to the fact that nobody had seen him ever since his wife had taken the kids and walked out.

"Who knows..."He shrugged. "Do we have to go?"

"Yes Mikaeel." She smiled, amused at his bout of childishness.

"I hate these fucking weddings. That fucker Imraan... I'll fucking kill him one day."

"Why?" She goaded him, knowing it only irritated him further the more he spoke about it.

"You know why. He started that fucking shit." He shot her a nasty look, seeing right through her plans. "At Raees's wedding, I sat in the car for 3 fucking hours and still some fucking old woman claimed she saw me stuck to your side. Must be fucking high seeing shit that isn't there..."

"Wow Mika,"she grinned up at him, nuzzling her nose into his neck. "You're so devoted to me. I can't believe it."

"Fuck off..."He muttered, thoroughly annoyed at the idea of it all.

"And what about your babies?" She asked, waiting for recognition to register in his eyes.

"Babies?" He looked down at her somewhat confused.

He watched her, his heart stuttering in his chest as she reached for the handle of her drawer to pull out the small darkened image if her sonogram. "See this?" She asked, pointing to a tiny white dot circled hastily with a black pen.

"Ya?"He brought the image closer to his eyes, trying to make out the image under the dimmed light of the lampshade.

"It's a heartbeat." She sidled closer to him, allowing him to feel her naked breasts beneath his thin cotton shirt. "And see this?" She pointed to a smaller spot to the left of the image.

He could only nod his head, words escaping his mind.

"We're having twins Mika."

She looked up at him, biting softly on the corner of her lip.

"We're having babies?" He asked, trying to convince himself that he had truly heard her correctly.

"Ya." She beamed up at him, finally realising that every one of her dreams had finally come true. "We're having babies."

"Shit..."He could feel his heart beating twice as fast as it had just a few minutes ago. "Come here." Though his words were lost in the thousands of kisses he brushed over her lips before he leaned back to look at her once again.

Her hair had grown back in the past few years and her hips had become a little wider but she was still so fucking sexy.He gently lowered the sheet till it rested against the middle of her bare thighs before he slowly opened the buttons along the bottom of her shirt to expose the smooth skin of her stomach. He remembered the first time he had fallen for the beauty spots over her stomach.

He leaned forward, brushing his lips lightly over each and every beauty spot and stretch mark that had decorated her skin before he opened the next button then the next

And the next

Kissing every inch of her pale skin.

Till he opened the last button, looking down unashamed at the sight of true, utter beauty before him.

His hands roamed, touching, caressing every part of her as they lost themselves to the feeling of their lips brushing against each other.

"Hey Hoori," he was breathless as he looked down at her, gently squeezing her hands.

"Ya?" She looked up at him. Her lips were a dark red and her chest was heaving beneath his own as she tried to remember just where she was and how it was that she could still be lost in the sensations of feeling him against her.

He leaned down, kissing her once...

Twice...

Thrice...

"I found you."

He smiled down at her, capturing her lips as they lost themselves once again.

I found you
