A/N Another IceLiech for you all, because I personally can't get over the pair myself haha! But here's something short and action-packed, featuring one badass Liechtenstein because you can never go wrong with a badass Liech. Not going to lie, I wasn't the most comfortable writing this, action is WAY outta my comfort zone. But you begin to live as soon as you step out of said comfort zone. Happy reading!

Emil clocked out of work before pushing the door open and heading to the elevator to the parking garage. Another day working in the office. He worked as a blogger for the internet media and news company Social Emporium, and today he wrote a post about 10 new dramas coming to Fall television. Wasn't too interesting to write about, but Lili would definitely love to hear about it when he got home.
He pressed the button for the elevator, and his phone started to ring. Okay, maybe he'd tell her about it right now. Emil pulled his phone out of his pocket and answered it.
"Hey, Sweets."
Lili smiled at the sound of his voice. "Hey, are you on the way home?"
"I'm heading down to the garage as we speak." He said getting on the elevator and pressing the garage button. "Are you home already?"
"Just got home a few minutes ago." She said rolling over in their bed on his side. She inhaled the scent of his pillow before exhaling quietly. "How was your day?"
"Ah, same old, same old. Wrote a couple of posts, helped with a couple of videos, edited a couple things. I wrote about some new tv shows coming this fall, you should read it."
"Oh, you did? Did you write about any you think we'd both watch?"
Once the doors opened to the garage, he walked out, starting the long trek across the garage. "Yeah, there may have been a couple that may have caught my eye. We'll talk about them over dinner. How was your day?"
"My day was fine, we learned about the five senses, and I played hopscotch with the girls during recess. They always love when I play with them."
That made Emil smile. "You're definitely going to get teacher of the year, I know it."
Lili laughed herself. "It takes more than just playing hopscotch with your students you know."
"But you work so well with them, and they love you so much I don't see how you couldn't get it."
"That is true, but I think it's just me working well with children. I mean you know how much I love kids, it's just easy."
"I think you'd make an even better mother."
Lili scoffed before laughing. "Me a mother? Wouldn't that make you a father?"
"I suppose it would."
She rolled over in bed. "You're speaking awfully casual about this, and I don't know if I should be excited or not."
"Excited, definitely excited."
Lili sat up squealing over the phone. "You're ready for kids? Like really ready? What changed your mind?"
"Well, you know how I said I was helping to work on a video? Turns out it was a reaction episode about men and babies, and I lost it Lil. I'm talking babies as small as, I don't even know a cabbage? A watermelon? A-And there were so many of them, I was surrounded by three babies and I cuddled them all, and they smelled so good, and their skin was so soft, and I just can't believe that we've been married for three years without a baby Lil, what is wrong with us?"
Listening to him talk about having children made her heart warm. He was serious, that she could tell. And knowing he was serious about it just put more things into perspective for her. They were really going to start trying for a baby. "I'm so jealous you got to hang out with babies today, but I'm so glad they convinced you to have a baby yourself, I was going to start poking holes in condoms." She spoke with a snicker.
"Well glad this problem fixed itself before it got derailed." He said unlocking his car from afar when it came into view. No other cars except for a black SUV parked on the other side from his car. "I'm at the car, I'll see you when I get home."
"Okay, be safe, I love you." She said.
"I love you more." He replied before hanging up the phone. Emil opened the back seat to put his messenger bag in it, and he closed the door, almost screaming when he saw a battered and bloodied woman come running up to him. "Please, you have to help me! He's trying to kill me!" She said, and there was a loud gunshot, and she fell dead right before his feet.
Emil shuttered in fear as he looked down at the now dead woman pooling in blood, and then the man dressed in all black with a smoking gun in his hand. "W-What did you do to her?" He managed to get out, stepping back towards the driver seat.
The man pointed the gun at him. "If you know what's good for you, you'll leave right now, and do not say a fucking word."
Instantly, Emil ripped the driver's door open, started up the car, and drove off with the car door still open.
Emil pulled up into the driveway and shakily turned off the car. He rested his head on the wheel before taking some deep breaths before going inside. He could not walk in there shook up, he didn't want to worry Lili, but what the fuck did he just witness?
First thing tomorrow, he'd switch his schedule, and work mornings and afternoons, nothing past sundown. He felt like he could be safe that way. Hopefully, this would just brush over, and things would return to normal. But as for tonight, Lili was going to have to be a really good distraction for him.
He lifted his head from the wheel as the words of the man echoed in the back of his mind.
"Do not say a fucking word."
With a threat like that the police couldn't be involved, he couldn't risk Lili. Emil gave a long exhale and looked himself in his rearview mirror. "Man up Emil, you've got a wife, and maybe even a baby on the way soon. Protect your family at all cost." He said to himself and got out the car before going into the house.
He pushed the door open and Lili came running at him to jump in his arms, but he didn't see Lili.
He saw her.
The battered and bloodied woman.
"No!" He screamed and pushed her away with all of the force he could muster. Lili flew backward into the air and landed on the ground with a loud thud.
Lili inhaled sharply when she felt her body land on the floor. She looked up at him, holding her head. "What the hell was that for?" She demanded with tears in her eyes.
Emil blinked, looking at his wife on the floor. "Oh my God, Lili I'm so sorry." He said getting on the floor to help her. Lili pushed him off of her and got up herself. "That's the last time I ever jump in your arms." She said dusting herself off.
"Sweets you just scared me is all. I didn't expect you running at me like that." Emil said getting his own self off the floor.
"Yeah well, I didn't expect you send me flying like some circus acrobat either." She said, still holding her head.
"Did I hurt you? What's wrong with your head?" He asked reaching out to her but she swatted him away.
"Haven't you done enough already?" She said looking at him. "I'm taking an ibuprofen, and going to bed. Good night." She said and turned to head upstairs.
Emil sighed, he doubts he'd be sleeping in their room tonight.

Emil looked up at the ceiling, wide awake. He was witness to a murder, and he pissed his wife off, that alone kept his mind wondering. Emil jumped when he heard a soft creaking in the living room, his head shot up and he looked around in the darkness.
"It's me, don't flip me on the coffee table." Lili's voice cut through the silence.
Emil sighed and fell back on the couch. He reached his hand out to her, and she took it, coming around to lay on top of him. "What are you so jumpy for? What happened?" She asked caressing his cheek.
Emil shook his head. "Nothing just...saw a car crash on the way home from work. Kinda freaked me out." He said quietly.
"I knew something was wrong...You got home okay, you came home to me, that's what matters. You know what to do to make it home safe to me every night, and I always pray you do. I'm sorry for overreacting."
"I'm sorry for sending you flying like an acrobat. Are you sure you're okay?"
"I'm fine, just bumped my head is all." She spoke. "Will you come back upstairs and keep me warm in our bed? I'm awfully cold laying up there all alone."
"Who am I to decline?" He said and she sat up. Emil stood from the couch and scooped Lili up in his arms before heading up the stairs with her.
"You're not going to throw me over the banister are you?"
"Only if I see a plane crash."
A/N That's the first chapter, hopefully, I'll get some reviews to keep it going because I'm REALLY iffy about this one. The action stuff isn't my cup of tea but I really wanted to write something like this for a while now. So hopefully you all enjoyed, please leave a review, I'd genuinely appreciate it.
