*Bianca*
When my eyes fluttered open I automatically reached for the other side of the bed, and Leo.
The sheets were cold.
My stomach twisted. Not just from worry, but from the deep ache that pitted in my abdomen.
I sat up and rubbed my belly.
It felt crampy. It was probably nothing. Just more late stage pregnancy sensations.
Honestly, I never knew what to expect my body to do anymore.
I grabbed my phone from the nightstand, blinking away the last remnants of sleep and found a text from Leo.
*Emergency. I’ll be back as soon as I can. Stay inside. I love you.*
I sighed, brushing my fingers over the screen before setting the phone aside.
Leo never elaborated on emergencies, but I could read between the lines. Something was wrong. And knowing him, he was in the middle of it.
As much as I hated him still putting himself in danger, I also loved how willing he was to always step up.
Smiling, I touched my belly again.
