Boris felt a warm touch and her perfume. He knew he was in the hospital. When he opened his eyes, saw Marisa cry, it was exactly what he knew would happen.

"Marisa... Don't cry I...",

But she snapped "Boris how could you? How could you hide something like this?",

"I never wanted you to know because of this. Do you think I want to see you cry or sad? I wanted to see you happy and to remember me the way I used to be and then... when the time comes,I'll just disappear".

Marisa was shocked by what she just heard. The thought of loosing him scared her the most, and now he's sick, very sick. She couldn't help it, she set on the bed holding him tight, she could feel it, he was powerless but she's not gonna give up in him.

"Boris there has to be something we can do...I don't know but...",

"There's not". She embraced him tighter and tighter.

"I'm not gonna let you die Boris I...", but she was interrupted.

"I'm sorry".

Her heart stopped. "Why?",

"I lied to you and you don't deserve that, I'm sorry, I should have told you but i couldn't. I know I was selfish but I need you to know that i'll always love you and...",

"STOP!", her tears start falling even faster. "Stop talking like you're dying".

"Marisa...",

"NO! You're going to live and spoil our kid and we'll grow old together...",

"Kid? What are you talking about?".

"Boris, I'm pregnant",

"What?",

"I wanted to tell you but...". His heart was racing and his breath lost control.

"Marisa...wha...",

"BORIS!". The blue cart was already in the room and a nurse took her outside where she was watching at her husband while the doctors try to keep him alive.

Marisa put her hand on the glass and between tear, her blood pumping in every single vein she has, and the sound of the resuscitation pedals shocking his chest, it was too much for her. In that very moment she felt on her knees praying for his life and whiling to give hers in steed.

The doctors stabilized him and Hank was there to make sure of that.

"Hey, you should rest a while, you've been through a lot.",

"Hank, how is he? I can't rest when I know him in this hospital bed",

"Now you see Marisa?",

"See what?",

"Why he didn't tell you. You love him so much, and Boris is aware of that, that's why".

Marisa couldn't held her tears anymore. "I know but...I wish I was there for him, so that he wouldn't have to go through this all alone",

"Hey! He was not alone, look, go to him and talk. Boris asked for you, but try not to exhaust him, he's pretty weak", "Ok, thank you Hank".

Hank left and Marisa entered the room. GOD he was weak, not even a trace of color on his face. She looked at him with sad eyes and afraid that her touch might hurt him. She was too lost in her thoughts to see that he was awake.

"Marisa, for how long do you know about the baby?:". She looked surprised for minutes before she could say a word.

"Boris don't worry about that right now...We have time...", but Marisa was violently interrupted.

"NO! Marisa, we don't have time I... need to... know...". The monitor's numbers started to grow fast along with his heart rate.

"Boris! Please try to calm down, you just had a cardiac arrest , please Boris look at me, Boris!".

Boris did as she asked and the monitor returned to normal and so did his pulse.

"Boris...Don't do this to me again or next time I'm afraid I might have a heart attack",

"Marisa don't even joke with that". She took his hand and kissed it.

"How's that even if i love you so much, and I'll do anything for you, I always end up hurting you?". He dragged her so that he could kiss her forehead.

"Mi amor, you are the best thing that happened to me, te amo. Now, I promise I won't freak, please tell me about the baby, It's important",

"Ok mi amor, but I'll stop in the second that monitor starts to beep", "OK".

She took a sit and reassure about hit vitals,so that she can start.

"I found out about a month or so , but I didn't get the chance to tell you because we were on that island and...well you passed out"

"Marisa...", his look turned into serious. "What about the gender?"

With a smile on her face, she answered to that pretty quickly. "We'll have a beautiful baby boy, Hank personally tasted me when we arrived. What's wrong?", she stopped smiling and start worrying because of the face he had.

"Marisa, we can't have this baby..."

Marisa froze. "What are you talking about?,

"Marisa my disease is hereditary, but most on the male gender. Marisa, I want this disease to die with me, I don't want my kid to go through this. It will stop with me".

"But Boris..."

"NO Marisa, stop. Do you think I enjoy this? No it hurts for me too but I need you to understand".

"Boris I love you and I want to have kids with you, you changed my life. Please, don't give up on us, I need you to fight with me, we can do this together. Boris you're not alone anymore".

Looking in her eyes he saw despair but hope too. She meant every word.

"Marisa, I'm...really tired...right now can we... talk later...please?!", his eyes closed instantly.

"Boris, relax mi amor, sleep. I'll be right here when you wake up."
