Chapter 17

The next morning I got up bright and early. This was the last day that Kirill was supposed to be in the hospital. Not only that,but this was also the day that we got to find out if our second child was going to be a boy or girl.

I was happy,and yet,very confused still. I wondered if Kirill knew that Jason was going to be staying with me. I knew that I had already told him that he was staying with me. But he didn't seem mad by it. I guess he knew that nothing was going to happen. I would never hurt Kirill. I loved him too much.

"Hi,"Kirill said as I walked into the hospital. I decided not to bring Katarina this time. Jason was nice enough to look after her.

"Hey."

"Where's Katarina?"

"She's at home with Jason."

He sighed and smiled. "Good."

I sat on the chair near the bed. "How are you feeling?"

He put his hand on my faced and kissed me. "Never better."

I smiled. "That's good. I need to go soon."

"I know. I'm excited."

"So am I,"I went silent and put my head down.

"What's wrong?"

I shook my head. "It's nothing."

"It has to be something Nicole."

"I'm scared…"

"About what?"

"Jason doesn't know who shot you yet…and I'm afraid that something might happen to Katarina."

"She's going to be fine Nicole. Jason's with her."

"I know."

"He'll find them Nicole. Don't worry about it."

"Ok."

"You still don't trust him?"

"I…I don't know Kirill. I've never known to have been nice to the enemy."

"He's not our enemy anymore Nicole."

"But he was Kirill."

"Times have changed Nicole."

I sighed. "Some things haven't changed for me Kirill."

He hugged me and kissed me. "I know. But he did save my life."

"And he tried to kill you."

"Nicole…please let's not talk about this now. I know you're stressed out."

I sighed. "I'm sorry."

He kissed me again. "Hey now. It's going to be all right."

I just put my head down and didn't say anything.

"What is it?"

I shook my head. "It's nothing."

"Don't tell me that Nicole."

"I…"I paused. He looked at me. "I told him about my past Kirill."

He stared at me for a little bit. "You still don't like to talk about do you?"

I shook my head. "You know how much I hate talking about it."

"What did you tell him?"

"I told him how…how my parents died. I told him everything that happened after I was found and became an assassin."

"Pretty much everything you told me."

"Because it's all I can remember."

"What do you mean?"

"For some reason I think all the good memories were erased from my mind."

"How?"

I shrugged. "I don't know."

"Do you think he did it?"

I sighed. "I don't know."

He kissed my forehead. "We'll find out."

"It's ok."

"No it's not. I want you to have good memories."

I then saw Jason by the door,which meant I needed to go. "Well,he's here to bring you home. I'll see you in a little bit then."

We then said our "I love yous,"and I left the hospital.
