Chapter 14
I didn't want to tell anyone else about my past. I was tired of telling people how my parents died. Every time I even thought about my parent's death I just wanted to kill myself or something like that.
For some reason I decided to stop thinking about what had happened two years ago and think about the future. What had happened had already happened. Kirill and I were going to be married in a couple of months and then we would have our child. At the moment,those were the only things that mattered to me.

The next morning I woke up really early. The sun hadn't risen yet. I didn't know what was wrong with me. I was starting to have a hard time breathing. Maybe Jason was right,I thought. Maybe I am going to have twins. Two children are enough though. I don't think I can handle three.
I got up,took my shower,and got dressed. After that I went downstairs to make breakfast(and hoped that I didn't wake Jason up in the process). I took Katarina downstairs with me so she wouldn't wake up Jason.
About fifteen minutes later I heard Jason coming down the stairs. I had just finished eating breakfast and was about to go to the hospital to go see Kirill.
"I had better be leaving,"he said as he was about leave.
"Are you sure you don't want to stay for a little while?"
"I really shouldn't be here. I don't want to get in trouble."
Before he left something fell out of his pocket. He didn't seem to be going back for it. I went over to see what it was. It was a picture of him and some girl. "Who is she?"I asked.
He stopped and turned around. I gently stood up and walked over to him and gave him the picture. He looked at it and smiled. "Her name was Marie. She died a while ago."
Now I was starting to remember who she was. She was with Jason when Kirill was chasing him. "I know he killed her."
"Yes…he did…"
"I'm…I'm sorry."
He put his hand on my shoulder and smiled. "Don't worry about it."
"You loved her didn't you?"
He shrugged. "I guess you could day that." He went silent for a second. "Well,I guess I had better be going then,"and he left the house.

That afternoon I went back to the hospital again to see Kirill. He looked like he was getting better.
"Hi,"he said as I walked into the room with Katarina. I walked closer to the bed and sat down by him.
"How are you feeling?"I asked.
"Better."
"That's good."
He smiled and kissed me. "How are you doing?"
"I'm fine. My two month check up is tomorrow."
"And then at three months we get to see if it's a boy or girl."
"Yeah."
"You don't sound so excited."
"Sorry. I'm just tired."
"I don't blame you."
"Jason was over last night."
"Oh."
"Nothing happened. I promise you."
"What did he tell you?"
"He doesn't know anything either."
"Oh."
"He also thinks that one of your bosses' colleagues did it. But I don't know why. Aren't they all in jail?"
He shrugged. "I don't know."
"Oh. I see."
"I went straight to the hospital after the wreak…or at least I think I did."
"You don't have to tell me anything else."
"Ok."
"I'm sorry…I shouldn't have said anything."
He kissed me. "It's all right. I understand."
I didn't know what else to say. I really wanted to stay here with him. I was still afraid that something was going to happen. I saw a figure stop at the door. It was Jason.
"Jason's here. I had better go."
He kissed me again. "You'll be back tomorrow right?"
"Why wouldn't I be? You're getting out tomorrow."
"I just wanted to make sure you knew."
"Funny."
He put his head down and kissed Katarina on the forehead and then looked at me. "I love you."
"I love you too." I went silent for a bit. "Well,I had better go then."
