Thank you for the reviews. Enjoy this chapter!

Phil heard his name called by a voice; the one that he was familiar with. He knew he supposed to meet his sister, Chaleen at the park but he knew for sure that the voice didn't belong to her. He tried to fight himself off from believing that the voice that called him just now was real.

"Phil!", he was called again, this time it was louder.

Slowly, he got up from the bench and turned around nervously. His eyes caught the tearful ones in front of him. His heart dropped at the sight of the crying face looking at him. He wondered if he was dreaming but his thought was vanished when Eve rushed to him and embraced him tightly, as if she didn't want to let it go, ever. He hugged her back, securely locking his arms around her shoulders, closing his eyes to cherish the moment that he yearned to have again. He then released her to look her face that he missed so much tearfully before he kissed her passionately, in which she happily return with the same amount of passion. It has been eight months since they've standing in front of each other so close like this and to finally get reunited with their other half, they couldn't help but to lose in the sea of passion and affection.

Eve pulled away from the kiss breathlessly, her swollen lips now pouting at Phil, "How dare you leave me like this, Phil! How dare you!"

His heart sunk upon hearing the pain in her voice. He felt really guilty and he couldn't answer her that moment. He only pulled her back into him and kissed all over her face, yearning over her after months not touching and holding her.

She pushed him away, "I'm talking to you! Where have you been? For eight months, Phil... for eight months you left me alone missing you so much that it hurts me! Don't you miss me, huh?"

Phil rested his head on hers with his eyes closed, his hands around her waist as he mumbled, "Baby, I swear to God that I've been missing you too. Not even a day where I wasn't thinking of you"

"Then why didn't you come back? You promised when everything was back to normal, you'll come back but you don't! Kelly won't get between us ever again and your mom forgave us, what reason will you use now for not coming back? Tell me!"

He was silenced. He rather being quiet just to hold her rather than talking back, which possibly made her walked away. But soon, he felt his hold on her loosened as she started to back away in each step she took backward.

"Perhaps you don't love me anymore! That's why you don't come back for me, you really want this separation, right?"

He grabbed her shoulders to make her faced him, "No! I would never want to do that, ever! I only want you to live your life happily. Everytime you're with me, you'll only suffer by other people. As much as I want to be with you always, I couldn't forget the moment you cried because all that name calling and when I've heard Kelly tried to hurt you, I realised we couldn't be happy if we're together! I'd rather being away from you than to see you being hurt like that!"

"And let us both suffer? How could you make me like this? Think of our baby, for eight straight months, he or she doesn't have any idea who the father is. And you have no idea how weak my condition was that I almost lose it several times. The last time was when I was attacked that night! Chaleen must have told you, right? I needed you that time for support but where were you? Where's your responsibility as a husband and not to mention your responsibility as a father to your child? I know you support us with shelter and money but that weren't enough! I need your love, Phil but you weren't there! If I knew this would happen, I would rather keep fighting my feelings off than to accept you in the first place. I would keep rejecting you until you're tired of me and we'll be easily divorced as what you planned in the beginning!", Eve let out all her anger on him. She didn't care if it offended him, she just wanted him to know the things that she had been suppressing all this while.

Phil saw her started to walk away so he finally decided to answer her questions.

"Please wait! Let me explain!"

Eve huffed in annoyance and turned back to him as she folded her arms in her chest, "What now?"

"First of all, I'm sorry, I'm really really sorry for causing you to feel like that. I didn't know that you're that hurt as much as I do in this situation. I just want you to live your life without problems, you deserved to be happy because you're a really great person, Eve. I know you are, ever since we got married", he paused for awhile to make sure Eve was listening to him.

He continued, " I didn't know what's gotten me to think such idea to find a 'contract' wife after mom forced me to marry Kelly. Out of all people, I chose you randomly and the weird thing about it is that you're also the woman who managed to open my heart to love someone. I didn't want to be in a relationship in the first place, seeing what happened to my brother's marriage and Kelly's social life. But you managed to change me and I'm very thankful for that. I couldn't see any other woman doing that to me but you", he told her with sincerity in his eyes and tone in his voice.

Somehow, to hear what Phil had just said, Eve stood there, not even budged a bit. Furthermore, she couldn't help but to be touched by his words and to look in his eyes which showed honesty and sincerity made her heart to be softened a bit.

"Although I'm going to embarrass myself, I will still going to tell you this. Because of my growing feeling for you, I was extremely jealous when I saw how you treated Zack at the hospital. I was really jealous to see you treat him nicely while at that time, you made me like I'm a desperately desperate person just for you to treat me as good as you did to him. I felt like I was just a trash and inconvenient in your eyes. When you finally accepted me, believe me, that was one of the most memorable and important thing to happen in my life. There's nothing I wouldn't do for you and I could do basically anything for you to make you safe, which was the reason I hid away from you. And I've once promised you that I'll look after you even from far, in which I did. Since I left you with Daniel and Brie, every single day I would follow you everywhere you go just to make sure you're okay. It was like my car was my second home, you know that? I followed you in every chance I got and that's how I knew you're pregnant with my child. I was beyond excited and happy that time when I knew I was about to be a father. But when I got a call that night from Chaleen, I almost died. I feared if the worst happened to you. During your stay in the hospital, I was with you every night all along. I quit my job soon after just so I could watch out for you twenty-four seven and I wasn't planning to let you know this soon", he let out a relieved sigh from his mouth once he finished what had he kept inside his heart.

At the same time, Eve was also sighing but it wasn't of a relief, it was of regret and guilt. She regretted for being mad at her husband that it caused him to let everything out. She looked down, more guilty before Phil was talking again.

"But to see you here today right in front of me, I forgot what I was supposed to do and you know what? I'd say forget what I'm planning to do cause right now, there's only one thing that I want and it's you! I want to apologise and be with my wife once again. This time, I promise you that from now on, I will never leave you again. All I need is one more chance. Please, Eve, I just need that chance, that's all I'm going to ask", he begged her.

Eve looked up to meet the eyes that she once couldn't stand to look for long and saw a glimpse of hope in them. A small smile curved on her lips, much to Phil's enlightenment. The anger she felt earlier was completely vanished when she looked and heard him. She wanted him back as much as he wanted her too.

"Argh!", Eve yelled suddenly as the smile on her face quickly turned to thin line, as if she was in a tremendous pain. Her hand was set upon her stomach as she seethed.

Phil turned pale at that instant. He was so terrified to see Eve like that in a flash. What he felt at that time was far more worst than what he felt when he heard about what happened to Eve on that one night.

"What's wrong, baby? Is it time to give birth already?", Phil asked, all panicked, his eyes never left her figure.

He was dumbfounded shortly afterwards when he saw Eve, who was holding her stomach in pain just now to hold her stomach in laughter as a chuckle erupted from her mouth. She almost had a cramp to see the look on his face.

"Did I get you right there?"

Phil placed a hand on his chest, "I almost die. You shouldn't have done that!"

She got closer to him and pecked on his lips before she placed her hands around his neck, "You deserve it; after what you put me through!"

"So does that mean you forgive me and giving me the chance?", he hopefully asked as his hands snaked around her waist, bringing her even closer even though it was quite difficult due to the bump on her stomach.

She nodded but a threatening look suddenly appeared on her face, "But if you decided to leave me again, you're going to get it, got that?"

With nothing else to say due to the happiness and excitement he currently experienced, he could only smirk and nod at his wife. Finally, through every challenge they went through together, attempting to break them apart, they managed to get through it and this time around, they didn't need to worry about anything anymore. They would stick together no matter what and living their married lives peacefully, with a baby on the way.

How was it? Supposedly, this is the last chapter but I'm going to post another chapter, more like an epilogue though. So in next chapter, with their baby already reached the age of one year old, what will Phil do at the birthday party? And what does Eve have to do with it? Until next update, bye!
