I opened up my eyes and immediately shut them. The bright sun hurt my eyes especially after waking up. I rubbed the sleep out of my eyes and slowly got up. My boxes were still packed and I didn't have a chance to unpack yet.

After the whole engagement fiasco, he went back to work and me to my cabin where he visited me after. We talked about our future and other stuff. We both fell asleep at the table.

I smiled when I realized that he was still here. I nudged him and he woke up.

"What time is it?" He said groggily.

"Don't know. Just woke up myself."

"Brackenreid is going to kill me."

"Just explain that you were busy."

He reached across the table and grabbed my hand. I was happy but, in making me happy, he doubled the danger.

"What about Emily?"

His eyes widened. He let go and sat back.

"I don't know. I forgot about her."

"George, I'm sure that you'll think of something."

"I'm going to break her heart."

"I'm sorry that you're going to hurt her."

I was truly sorry for the extra grief that Emily would be put through.

"One heart mends yet another breaks." I whispered.

"What?"

"Nothing. Just thinking."

"What have I gotten myself into?"

"A lifetime of happiness. Well, in my opinion and danger."

"The Black Hand can't forget about them."

"That's why I said danger."

Danger, happiness, grief and excitement were going to await us. But, nothing could prepare us for what came next.

George went back and forth from work to me on a daily basis for a number of weeks. We hadn't planned a wedding date or anything else. He was too busy with work and I was too busy tracking down the Black Hand. We knew that his schedule would clash with mine but, we would work it out eventually. We had too or our relationship would crash and burn.

I went to the morgue one day to visit Emily again. Not to gloat but, just to talk to her. I entered and I didn't hear a thing. I went closer and heard a slicing sound. I went closer and saw that she was performing an autopsy. She looked up and saw me and smiled.

"Hi there."

She glanced down and saw that she was covered in blood.

"Perhaps I should clean up."

"No. I just came by the see how you're doing."

She smiled.

"Good timing. I was just finishing up anyways."

"Good for me."

She was sewing up the wound while I slowly made my way down the ramp. When I sat down on the chair, I noticed something different about her. I couldn't exactly pinpoint it but, I knew that it would be something important.

"You seem happy."

"I' am."

"May I ask why?"

She turned to me and she seemed like she was protecting a secret.

"You can't tell anyone, okay? This is top secret."

"Okay." I whispered.

She sighed and finished sewing up the wound. She washed her hands and I was on the edge of my seat in suspense.

"Why are you keeping me in suspense? Is it something huge?"

"It is and it will change my life."

"Well? Come on, spill."

She turned slowly to face me.

"I'm with child."

Mwa ha ha! I'm so mean. Who's child is it? Review with your guess on who's child it is! I apologize for the ending and this chapter being short but, the chapter will get longer just like the other one.

I hope that you all enjoyed the series so far and there will be more surprises to come! The wedding will take place in a couple chapters so, stick around! Love you all, hugs all around!
