The relationship between Reese and Zander was blooming as time passed; they didn't even try to hide anything about their time together from anyone. However, things weren't going that smoothly all the time.
It seemed like all that stress and worries were gone while they're together, but then it started again.
Reese swiftly shot into a sitting position, panting heavily and her heart racing like crazy. Her body was sweating and trembling. Hot tears were streaming down her cheeks as she buried her face in her hands.
Those nightmares were back; she couldn't remember what she saw, but there were some flashes that sent chills down her spine.
She slowly got a hold of herself, calming her breath. She got up from the bed and immediately collapsed to the floor.
The bump woke Sarah and Amour up; they rushed to her.
It took a while for her to hardly stand up. Her body felt heavy, all her muscles ached, the whole world was spinning. She clumsily stumbled in the bathroom, leaning over the toilet; she started throwing up.
She stayed like that even if she stopped vomiting; she felt too weak to do anything. She lost the track of time. The Saurolophus stayed with her.
Why again...? What was wrong with her?
She had these states before, but why the vomiting...? It only started recently; maybe a month ago.
She thought that those nightmares are gone...
Should she go and tell Zander?
No.
It would only worry him. Besides, she can barely walk now; there's no way she could make her way across the whole HQ like this.
She didn't even realize it, but when she managed to get up and lay back in the bed, the sun was already rising.
She closed her eyes for a few hours, although then she was woken up by the voice she adored so much.
"Oh, my angel~" he sang behind the door.
Reese just groaned into the pillow, trying to fall asleep again.
Zander cautiously opened the door. "Reese? You awake?"
"No..." she replied annoyedly.
He chuckled and walked over to her, stroking her messy hair. "Come on, my angel."
"No...!"
He smirked. "I'll brush your hair and make you a coffee," he offered and Reese immediately got up.
"Alright then... I'm awake." She squeezed her eyes, glancing at him, groaning. Everything was so fuzzy. Zander knew exactly what to do. He reached for her glasses and slid them onto her nose. He pecked her lips and rushed to make the coffee.
Reese covered her face once the door closed and started panting heavily.
A devilish grin of a face covered in blood.
She snapped out when Zander came back in.
"I have your coffee!" He put the cup in her hands and headed for the hairbrush. He sat behind her and started brushing her hair while she sipped her morning coffee. Sarah and Amour curled on her lap.
"Did you sleep well, my angel?" he wondered.
She didn't reply at first; he had to ask her again.
"...I did..."
He hummed their song as he continued.
—
Zander escorted his love to the Black Pearl lab. She wasn't really paying attention to what was going on around her.
"And we're naming our boy Eric," that was the first thing she heard in a while.
"Eric?" She looked up at him.
"Yeah! Ellie and I finally agreed! I don't know why she didn't like some of my suggestions; Zander II sounds magnificent. I might revisit that idea one day."
"We're not naming our child like that, Zan."
Zander blushed at her response. "O-our child...?"
Reese flushed as well when she realized what she just said. "Well...I mean one day."
"Y-Yeah..." he chuckled nervously, "one day... There's plenty of time for that."
"Exactly! I think we'd have to settle in somewhere and possibly get married before we're going to be parents..."
"Right..."
The door to the lab before them opened.
"Don't you want me to stay with you today?" he wondered, kissing her softly.
"I would love to, but I can't focus properly when you're around." She booped his nose and walked in the lab with the Saurolophus couple. "I'll see you later."
"See you, my love." Zander waved at her and walked away.
Once the door closed, Reese sighed deeply, leaning on a wall, holding her head.
"Reese, are you feeling okay?" Trias asked her.
"I'm fine... I just didn't get much sleep..." Reese murmured.
"This does not seem like slight insomnia," Jonathan pointed out as he scanned the researcher, "your physical strength has significantly decreased, your body started a defensive mechanism, your emotions are abnormally unstable and you have an unbalanced amount of hormones."
"It's nothing. I'm sure it's just the flu which keeps me awake and well... I am in love so that could play with my emotions a lot," Reese tried to find an easy explanation to her state.
The android shook his head. "I've already seen such symptoms before; it is not the flu."
"I said I'm fine," Reese mumbled as she made her way to the computer, "...I'm ok..." Everything started to fade into black and she lost consciousness. Muffled voices echoed in her head.
She felt a pressure in her stomach and when she touched it, her hand was covered in blood.
Reese groaned, opening her eyes slowly for a peek.
"I think she's waking up," she heard a familiar voice.
As her amethyst eyes met with teal ones she shot them open and sat up, panting. Everything around her was one big blur even if she was wearing her glasses, all voices were hard to identify in the noise surrounding her. She held her head tightly, trying to snap herself back into reality. A high pitched screech resonated in the ears until a female voice reached her.
"Reese? What's wrong?" Cretacia asked her, rubbing her back.
"I don't know... I don't know..." Reese shook her head.
"It's okay, just relax."
Just the touch and reassuring voice made her a little calmer.
"I..." Reese breathed quietly. "Nightmares..."
"Huh?"
"Those nightmares are back..." Her body shuddered. "That's why I can't sleep. They already went away a while ago, but... they're somehow back..." She rolled up her shirt, looking at her old scar. "My stomach ache from the sickness must have triggered my PTSD again; it's so close to that wound. It brings back that pain..."
"Have you told Zander about it?" Cretacia wondered.
"Are you crazy?" Reese glared at her. "He'd be worried sick. I sneezed once and he forced me to rest for 24 hours straight while he strained himself to make me comfortable. It might be sweet, but I don't even want to know what he'd do if he knew..."
She felt a hand on her shoulder. When she looked up, she saw Trias. "You should rest; we'll figure out what's wrong."
"Thank you..."
Reese laid back down on the bed. A metal arm with bright light was hanging over her.
"A few scans should tell us some more details about your sickness; you only have to stay still," Trias explained.
"Understood." The blonde nodded as the light moved along the metal arm, the shine blinding her. She would close her eyes, but an irrational fear of the nightmares coming back once she does that kept creeping in her mind.
Trias watched the monitor with all biometric info about Reese from the scans. "Jonathan was correct; your body is fighting something inside. Strange..." He frowned as the display started to glitch.
"What is it?"
The glitches started to mess up the display more and more and then the monitor turned off. "Reese, you've just crashed an alien-made system with the condition of your body."
Reese sat up. "How is that possible?" the situation confused her, however, she remembered what Seth told her several months ago.
"Our scans revealed that there is a huge amount of power within you that we could use."
"I have no clue..."
Seeing their human partner being sad, Sarah and Amour jumped on the bed to Reese, nuzzling her stomach.
"I'll have a look at the scan later," Trias said, taking a bite of a cookie, "Jonathan, could you repeat the analysis?"
"Sure, the physical strength has significantly decreased, the body started a defensive mechanism, emotions are abnormally unstable and an unbalanced amount of hormones," the android repeated.
Reese sighed, stroking the Saurolophus couple's back. Cretacia noticed and pouted thoughtfully.
"Could I have a cookie too, please?" Reese wondered.
"...um, sure."
She took a cookie and started chewing on it.
She usually doesn't eat cookies... And there was one person that realized that.
"Hold on a second, Jonathan, you've mentioned that you saw these symptoms once, right?" Cretacia asked.
"Yes."
"It was me, wasn't it?" she assumed.
"Yes," Jonathan replied calmly, already knowing what was out to go down.
Cretacia gasped and grabbed Reese's hands. The younger blonde stared at her confusedly, blinking in shock. "I know what is happening! Or at least I think I know; it's still just speculation, but so many things point towards it being true!"
"...just spill it out...! Reese demanded.
"Okay, okay..." Cretacia took a deep breath and finally let that thought escape. "Reese, you're very likely pregnant."
At those words, all Reese could do was let out a weak choked "what".
—
Meanwhile, the Alpha Trio and Ellie were at the BPW bar sitting at the table while Jeremy was working and serving them some drinks and snacks.
As basically a couple by this point, Ed and Ellie were sitting next to each other and feeding one another the snacks.
Zander kept tapping his foot, his hand he was holding the glass in was trembling, biting his lip.
"Could you calm down?" Ursula snapped at him.
"How can I calm down when I can so easily lose my love?!" he whined back.
"Wait a sec, what in the world are you talking about? Why the hell would you lose Blondie?"
Zander sighed sadly. "Her birthday is in a week and I don't have a present for her yet!"
"And why is that a big deal?" Ellie wondered.
"Remember Hayley? She dumped me just because I didn't manage to get her a good enough gift for her birthday," he explained grimly.
"What kind of girl would do that?" Ed asked.
"Well... I used to date one in high school," Ellie remembered, "we didn't break up when I forgot about her birthday, but she did yell at me, just like always. Ow-" She was pulled out of nostalgia by a kick in the shin and a nasty glare from Ursula.
"I never knew you had a girlfriend," her boyfriend said.
"Yeah... It's been a while and it wasn't a rough break up. Nobody really knows since she wants to keep it a secret for some reason." She whined quietly as she was kicked again, receiving another glare.
Zander suddenly broke down into sobs. "She's going to hate me!"
"Okay, that's enough!" Ursula yelled at him and hit his head, making him whimper, "do you seriously think that Blondie is a toxic bitch like all the others you dated before Ellie and her?!"
"What? Of course, not...she is my angel..."
"Then treat her like that! She'd never dump you over such a dumb thing; Blondie surprisingly stayed with you until now, not to mention that you have literally no money to shower her with gold. She's with you because of who you are, not what you have! So just stop whining and leave it be!"
Zander frowned. "But she deserves a present..."
"Hold up," Jeremy joined the conversation as he filled their glasses, "if you're stressing out about that present, why haven't you started to worry about it sooner?"
"Because I found out recently. Reese told me not to worry about it, but... I just can't let this slip; I want to give her what she deserves. I have an idea, though it's too expensive for me..."
"So, that's why you've been helping me with the supplies as a summer job," Jeremy realized.
"Yeah, but I don't think I'll earn enough money in time...! I don't want to disappoint her."
"And what idea do you have?" Ellie asked.
Zander glanced away, his cheeks pink. "It doesn't matter..."
"It does! Come on, we won't laugh. At least I won't!" She smiled at him.
He rolled his eyes and pulled out his phone, searching for his idea. He then laid the phone on the table and a hologram of a white gold ring with an amethyst gem in an oval cut and with two small emeralds around it was shown.
"It's beautiful!" the Komatsu siblings gasped in awe.
"I would prefer the real gold and a diamond," Ursula commented.
"I know that it'd be better for the occasion, but the amethyst fits her eyes."
"She's going to love it," Ed reassured his brother.
"Maybe... I'd love to add to that present with more, but...but... She thinks it's too soon. Maybe I should just forget about this." Zander hung his head down.
"You're going to...?" Ellie covered her mouth.
He nodded slowly. "I thought about it... Reese says that we're not that far in our relationship; on the other hand, I can still ask her and we don't have to do anything about it for years." He shook his head. "I still can't afford it..."
"How much does it cost?"
"111,383 yen; I still need 75 thousand..."
The freckled blonde frowned determinately and suddenly slammed her hand in the table, holding several yen. "Go buy it now!"
"What?"
"I can't let you just sit here and pity yourself. Take all this and go buy it for her."
"Ellie, I can't accept that... You and Jeremy are already lacking money," Zander objected.
"Shut up and take our money," Jeremy added, handing him over some of his money too.
"But-"
"Since when are you so proud not to accept offers like this?" Ed questioned, reaching a handful of money to Zander.
"I don't want to get into debt with you guys..."
Ursula slid a few coins towards him. "Stop whining, go buy that ring and we'll never talk about this again."
"Guys..." Zander's eyes filled up with tears. "You really care about me so much..." he sobbed happily.
—
"No, no, no..." Reese mumbled, sitting on the bed she was scanned on, her eyes locked on a positive pregnancy test, "there's no way..." Her hands were trembling and she dropped it, getting a grip on her head.
She's always wanted this, so why does she react like this...? She should be happy... How could has she let this happen? Just that one night when they weren't careful...
She was deep in her thoughts as Amour nuzzled her leg. She sighed and a smile formed on her face. "I guess things don't always go according to plan... I wanted to wait a few years. I don't even know how I should tell Zander; now I really understand Ellie."
"If you don't know how to tell him," Cretacia spoke up and showed her the book.
Reese raised her eyebrow. "I am not telling him I'm going to be his Maiasaura! And I'm not putting a bun in the oven either. I just need to find the right moment; right now, he's busy with any preparations for my birthday. I told him to let it be, but you know how he is..."
"Take your time with it; nobody's going to rush you," Trias reassured her, "we'll be here for you if you need anything."
"Thank you." Reese stood up. "I am really grateful-"
Suddenly, Cretacia pulled her into a hug. "I'm gonna give you so much advice on how to handle this. And Trias and I will babysit and we'll try our best to be great uncle and aunt!"
"I know..." Reese smiled at her.
"We'll spoil your baby so much!"
—
After a few hours, Zander came to pick Reese up. She wasn't there at the moment, so he took advantage of that.
"Reese mentioned that you're struggling with a present for her," Trias said.
"She did...?" Zander blushed.
"Don't worry about it, it isn't easy to find the perfect gift for your other half."
"It is... But I have something. I had a financial problem, so Ellie decided that she, Ed and Jeremy will support me, even Ursula added some coins," Zander chuckled.
"You could have just asked us if you needed money," Trias offered him.
"I didn't mean to bother anyone with it, but they insisted. ...and I suspect that they only did it so they can claim the present is from them too. But I might have an idea of what you can do."
Reese soon came back and wrapped her arms around her boyfriend, not saying anything.
—
Her nightmares didn't leave her even after a week. She managed to close her eyes for a while, but then Zander walked in, waking his love up to breakfast in bed.
He kissed her head. "Good morning, angel. Happy birthday."
She looked at him as he was holding a tray with breakfast. "Zan?" She sat up and he set the tray on her lap.
"I can't believe you convinced Helga to let you take her food into my room," she admitted.
"Well, I was the one who made it," Zander told her.
"Oh, thank God..." Reese sighed in relief, but then she got some doubts. "I hope you can actually cook."
"So do I, angel. So do I..."
She started eating and smile. "It's good!"
A huge weight fell off Zander's shoulders. "I'm glad. You deserve the best." He kissed her cheek. "So, 23, huh? How does it feel?"
"Not any different. And this isn't even my 23rd birthday."
"What do you mean?"
"I traveled from July 2010 to March 2130; physically, I was 23 since April; taking it according to the date of birth, I am 143 years old today."
"Woah... You look wonderful for being over 100 years old." He cuddled her as she ate.
She soon finished eating. "Thank you, Zan. Breakfast in bed was a nice gift from you."
"Yeah, but that isn't all." He rubbed her cheek with the back of his hand.
"I already told you that you don't have to do anything," she reminded him.
"I know, but we couldn't help ourselves." He grinned shyly.
She raised her eyebrow. "You dragged others into that..."
"Kinda..."
When Reese dressed up Zander wrapped a blindfold around her eyes, holding her glasses.
"Zander, you know I'm not into this..."
"Just trust me, okay?"
She sighed. "Do I have another choice...?"
He kissed her forehead and led her to the hangar where he helped her sit down and took off with the Alpha craft.
It didn't take long until they landed and he helped her get out.
"Are you ready?"
Reese nodded and her blindfold was removed; he handed her the glasses that she put on.
Everyone immediately gathered around her and popped confetti poppers.
"Happy birthday!"
She beamed at them. "Guys..."
Soon she took notice of the building right ahead; it took her breath away. They were on a hill surrounded by forest; the building that collapsed a few months ago.
...The D-lab was rebuilt and standing right there, looking like new...
"This can't be..." Reese murmured.
"Yes, it can!" Cretacia grabbed her shoulders. "We used the Black Pearl to recover the structure and then all of us somehow help."
Trias nodded. "It was Zander's idea."
"Was it?" Reese smirked at her boyfriend.
He blushed, scratching his cheek. "W-well...kinda..."
They glanced away from each other. After several minutes of silence, they turned back and said at once, "I need to tell you something!" They chuckled.
"You can talk, my angel," Zander told her.
"No... No, no. Go ahead," Reese insisted.
"Okay..." Zander took a deep breath. "Reese... My angel; my beauty; my love. We were brought together by accident. I could have simply died in that desert, but you were there...and you were kind enough to save me. I immediately fell under your spell. You seemed perfect, but then when we met two years later, I found out that's not the case; that made me fall for you even more. You've shown me that I'm not just dead weight to everyone. You healed my broken heart despite all the obstacles we've faced throughout the way. I've put all my trust in you and you haven't disappointed me. I've never imagined you and I could be together like this; that we could..." He swallowed hard and reached in his pocket. "Reese Drake-"
Reese covered his mouth and grabbed the hand reaching in the pocket. She figured out what was about to happen.
"Before you say it..." She bit her lip, gazing into his eyes. "There's something you have to know..." She opened her mouth, but no sound came out. She many different of her announcement ran through her mind, including the ones she refused to say before.
He could see the struggle in her eyes. "You can tell me anything," he murmured against her palm.
She smiled at him softly, the pressure left her. "Eric is going to be a big brother," she said calmly.
"...wait, what...?" Zander titled his head, not really understanding at first.
Reese squeezed his hand and placed it on her belly. "Eric is going to have a half-sibling, Zander."
His jaw fell open. "You're... Reese, you're pregnant..."
She nodded slowly.
A huge goofy grin crossed his face, tears running down his cheeks. He hugged her tightly; she embraced him back. "This is amazing!"
He kissed her head.
"Wasn't there something you wanted to ask me?" Reese wondered.
"Oh, right!" Zander pulled away and reached in his pocket only to find it empty. He tried the other one, but with the same result. "Oh, no, no, no, no! I lost it!"
The blonde smirked. "Do you mean this?" She showed him a small box she snatched from his pocket when they hugged.
His face was toned red as she opened it, revealing an amethyst ring. "Zander... Will you marry me?"
He stuttered with his face covered red. "I wouldn't try to propose to you if I didn't plan to."
"Then do it properly," she joked.
"Gladly." He smiled at her warmly, taking the box. He started singing quietly,
"Oh, my Angel. I love my dinosaur.
But when I look into your eyes, I think I love you more.
Be my Jurassic Valentine.
Falling deep into your eyes, I love the way you archaeologise.
Angel stay with me forever moooooooore."
She joined in for the last part. "And love me like you love your dinosaur."
Then he fell to his knee. "Reese Michiko Drake, will you marry me?"
She wanted to reply simply at first, but then she vaguely remembered what he said when he first saw after those two years. "This...this must be a dream. Somebody, pinch me," she whispered, her ahoges formed a shape of a heart.
"If it is a dream then we're connected even more than I thought."
"I accept your proposal, Zan. I will marry you." She nodded.
He beamed at her, taking her hand and sliding the white gold ring with an oval amethyst and two small emeralds around it on her finger. He jumped to his feet, pulling his now fianceé into a kiss.
Adoring each other for a while, the engaged couple soon joined that party.
The party eventually turned into Reese and Zander moving in the D-lab, since it was specifically rebuilt to also be inhabited; it had all a simple house needs.
It was an evening when others left; Reese disliked parties, so it wasn't anything big and it ended very soon.
They had a little tour through the place; it was so different and yet so similar. Everything was so advanced. Even Sarah and Amour had their own room. They also found a full of some other gifts, mostly target towards the unborn baby. What caught their attention were big plushies of a Triceratops, Carnotaurus, Parasaurolophus, T-Rex, Spinosaurus, and Saichania.
"That is...wow..." Reese breathed.
"If all this makes you mad, I took no part in this," Zander joked.
"You all overdid yourselves. I would usually be okay with a tiny cake, but then you drag me out here..."
He wrapped his arms around her from behind, placing his hands over her belly. "You deserve the best."
She took his hand and kissed it gently. "Thank you so much. We should unpack all our stuff."
"No way," he refused, "you're going to relax while I unpack, is that clear?"
"It's only been 5 weeks, I can still function the same way as before," she tried to convince him.
"I insist."
She rolled her eyes and reached to peck his cheek. "Alright then."
"So, 5 weeks?" he wondered.
She hummed in agreement.
"And how long do you know?"
"Only a week; I wasn't sure how to tell you..."
"That's alright; I understand. Now, go relax."
Reese headed to the bedroom. She had a quick look through some books on the bookshelf; most of them were either paleontology or technology-focused books, rest was about the different time eras the D-Team and Alpha Gang visited, the history of Sanjo or even piloting, although, one of them stood out; it was light cyan with the D-Team logo on its back.
She took it out, sat on the edge of the bed, and opened the book. The very first page introduced her to its content. The page was actually several papers clearly written by different people taped together. She recognized the handwriting, but it oddly didn't fit anyone from the future. Reading just a few lines of the first piece of paper revealed who it's from.
"It's been a month since you've disappeared, sis. We've been looking for you everywhere, but you're just gone... Wherever you are, I hope you're safe and happy. I miss you, sis."
The next one was also easy to recognize.
"It feels like a nightmare. A whole month of insecurity... Some people say that you might be already dead; just that thought makes me sick. On the other hand, it might be better than thinking you suffer this whole time. After everything that happened, I just can't help but worry about you, sweetie."
Tears formed in her eyes. The third one was also obvious and it broke her...
"Today isn't easy for anyone of us; your sister has a hard time handling your disappearance, so does your mom and so do I, but one of us has to stay strong to comfort the other. We have no clue where you could be; we still hope you're safe. I'm sorry we can't be with you, Reese, happy birthday."
Drip, drip...
The page was slowly getting soaked as Reese, the Little Genius, the one known for locking her emotions away, cried for the ones she's left behind.
Drip, drip.
She missed all of them so much. She wished to see them for at least one minute, reassure them she's okay. It wasn't enough, although, reading these messages they symbolically left for her on the same day exactly 120 years ago, not knowing where she is, was the most she could have right now.
Drip, drip.
She wiped her tears away and flipped a few pages to see more messages from her friends. She then reached a pink sticky note with another message, this time not from 2010.
"As we were renewing the building Ellie discovered these letters for you, also Ed managed to recover some files from the computer, so Trias and I put them all in here for you. I know it can hurt at first, but we thought it might still be nice.
-Love you!"
And right under the text were small doodles of smiling Trias and Cretacia.
"Recover some files?" Reese flipped a page and found a tablet built in the book. It turned on and lit up a hologram of a photo—a photo of Reese with her family.
Just like Cretacia wrote, it hurt, but it was still nice to it. Reese smiled. "You won't stop surprising me," she whispered as she swiped between several photos.
Soon, Zander came in totally exhausted. Reese put the book away so when he laid down he could rest his head on her lap. She stroked his hair.
"What is it, Zan?"
"I'm drained..." he groaned.
"Well, maybe you wouldn't be if you let me help you," she reminded him.
"Is this another example of 'women are always right'?" he wondered, grinning.
"Oh, shut up!" she chuckled, hit his face with a pillow lightly.
He laughed, pushing the pillow off his face, but he immediately stopped when he noticed those beautiful amethyst eyes red and wet.
"You cried, angel?" he worried.
"Yes. Don't worry about it." She reached for the book. "Another present; it reminded me of the past..."
"You wish they could know about all of this, am I right?"
"They'd be so happy... And the coincidence of this would make my parents laugh."
"How come?"
"It was similar when they were expecting me. My dad proposed to my mom on her birthday not long after she found out she's pregnant."
"Wow... Then I hope it hints towards our child being like you."
"I hope they're like you"
"We'll see about that, my angel!" Zander grinned goofily.
—
It seemed so perfect; as if everything is magically colorful and happy until the night came.
Just like every recent night, it was interrupted by the same nightmares. Reese was tossing herself from side to side and then suddenly shot up.
Her head felt like it was about to explode and then her sickness kicked in. She got off the bed, stumbling towards the bathroom, stopping in the door, leaning on the doorframe.
It felt like she's being watched—somebody was approaching her, but all she could hear were muffled noises mixed with a deep female voice.
A touch on her shoulder sent an impulse, getting her safety reflex in motion. "I am not your marionette!" she yelled and she pushed whoever was behind her away with all her strength!
Her heart almost stopped when she heard that voice she adored so much groaning in pain. She turned around as her vision cleared as much as possible without her glasses. In the light reflected from the moon that was shining in through the window, she saw a tall trying to still up after he was knocked down by her.
"Zander!" She rushed to him.
"Angel... What's wrong?" he wondered calmly.
Reese didn't reply at first; he had to ask the second time. "I'm experiencing PTSD..."
"From what? Why now? The nights we spent together, you seemed okay."
"It's from what I went through with the Dark Pterosaur. I assume it started again because of the sickness caused by my pregnancy..."
Zander hugged her gently. "We'll get over this together," he reassured her, rubbing her back, "you'll go to see Daniel about this tomorrow, okay?"
"Rod and Laura's father?"
"Yeah, he is a therapist; if there's anyone who could help you, it's him."
"Okay... Okay." She nodded. "I trust you."
"Now, let's try to go back to sleep. I'll protect you."
She kissed his cheek as they laid back down. He had her in his embrace the whole time, making sure this sweet dream doesn't slip away.
—
Done! So, Reese is pregnant, dealing with PTSD and living in the rebuilt D-lab with Zander!
I recommend checking out the meaning of an amethyst engagement ring.
Also, Ellie used to have a girlfriend?! I wonder why Ursula glared at her so much because she mentioned that former relationship.
The chapter name is taken from lyrics from Sweet Dreams by Eurythmics.
I hope you enjoyed reading and stay safe!
