Remi

I think I realize what it's like to be a mother, not that I had a good example with Ellen, but I have some memories of my mother of blood. Sometimes when I close my eyes I smell her perfume and when I am very sad I remember her hug. She was a strong woman who did everything for her children. I feel that Roman suffered very quietly after the death of our parents, perhaps that is why there is so much bitterness in his heart, but who knows the arrival of a baby in this house may bring him fond memories of our childhood and he will soften a little your heart.

Yesterday Ellen took me to a medical appointment, it seems that everything is fine with the baby, we did the ultrasound and it was not possible to see the sex, or maybe the doctor didn't want to talk to me, I found him very cold and distant, typical of Ellen taking me to someone like that. I'm on to the seventh month, he moves all the time and sometimes at night I remember a song or two that my mother sang for us to sleep and I sing for him. He must be born at the beginning of August, but I wanted this time to be prolonged, because while he is inside me I can protect him from the world outside.

I am under a tree in a park close to home, I close my eyes and smell the flowers and hear the birds singing, everything seems so pure and simple that for me there is only one thing that matters, to give a dignified life to mine son that will arrive.

Kurt? Yes, I think about him a lot, I miss his kiss, the affection and the nights we spent together, I already picked up the phone several times to talk to him, but I lack the courage to complete the call, after the last time I called and Allie answered I decided that it might be better not to look for him at all, and he must be in military school and a baby would only give him concern, which is something he doesn't need right now. Maybe one day he might meet his son, but I don't think it's time for him to know that yet.

Natasha

Early July and Edgar is already in the city, I feel full when I'm with him, he satisfies me in every way, as a woman, as a person and also makes me want to be better. Having him here is so good, waking up next to him is the happiest part of my day, I know the holidays are going to end, but I don't want to think about it, I just want to enjoy the time we will spend together.
I have been awake for a while and I am face down on my elbows watching him sleep. Sometimes he moves and makes faces that seem to be dreaming about something, I laugh alone and I want to kiss him, I want to let him rest, because I know his days at college are very intense and now that he's here you can sleep a little more.

I've been watching him for a long time and he never seems to wake up, lol. Now he moves more intensely and looks like he's going to wake up.
- Hey! - Ufa! I couldn't wait any longer. - Good morning beautiful! Why are you looking at me with that face?
- Nothing, I was waiting for you to wake up and you must be dreaming of some very beautiful girl and I didn't want to call you.
- Hum, so I could only be dreaming of a brunette, Latin girl, with long hair and who has the most beautiful smile there is.
- Ah, no need to exaggerate. - Edgar pulled me into his arms and I got on top of him and I was kissed so hotly and with such affection that I wished I was forever lost in his arms.
- I love you, Natasha. I love you in such a unique way and I don't know how I can spend so much time away from you. - Eddie has a look so intense that sometimes it scares me, the way we love each other is incredible, however, I'm afraid that something will ruin this, maybe the distance will cool our relationship, but I don't want to think about it, I just want to live our love with intensity and without thinking too much about what might hinder us.

- Ah, I love you too. And, you are very excited at this time of the morning, but it is better to get up, because I need to start training, or you forgot that next month are my tests and I need to be prepared.

- You'll make it, Tash. - He looks at me again and I feel my eyes sting and the tears threaten to fall. - You are the most incredible and persistent woman I know, this vacancy is already yours.

- What if I can't, Eddie? I don't know what I'm going to do, this has been my dream for so long that I don't see myself doing anything else.

- Hey, look at me. - I'm still on him and he rubs his thumb over my face wiping away a stubborn tear that couldn't stop falling. - You have been training for so long and deserve more than anyone. And there's one more thing, if you can't do it, you can try again next year.

- Only you to improve my day when I feel like crap.

- Never say that again! You are not a crap, don't feel that way! - I shake my head in agreement and Edgar kisses me again in an attempt to make my day better. - Now you better get off me so we don't miss training.

We laugh together and spend a little time in the bath exchanging caresses and kisses. Ah if all my mornings were like this! Maybe someday they will be.

Kurt

My vacations are not regular like those of other students, but I got a week off and I'm at home. We agreed to meet at the usual bar to catch up. It's good to be home, I miss all of it, the school routine is very heavy and I don't have much time to have fun, of course some recruits and I sometimes find a way to escape for a beer.

- Hey Kurt, you're a little distracted, aren't you having fun?

- Hi, no, everything is fine. - Edgar approaches with his beer and I try to answer the question as naturally as possible, but he is a very observant guy and won'tt let this go by so easily.

- Really? Are you alone and are full of girls at the bar who don't stop bothering a single guy like you who doesn't seem to care and still tells me it's okay?

I let out a long breath and answer. - I haven't heard from Remi in months, you know, we were in love, we didn't make many plans because there was all this thing about her mother never having accepted our relationship, but when we were together I felt that she was also in love, and she left and I didn't hear any more, the only number I had was from her house and it's been off since she left. I see you all happy and I can't feel this way, I tried with Allie, but I can't, because I don't think it's fair to be with her thinking about another one.

- Look, Kurt, I know how you must be feeling, I don't know what would become of me if I lost my Tasha. There must be some clue, you already tried to talk to Patty, she is always very attentive and doesn't let anything go, and you can also ask Rich to help look for her.

- No, no. - I look at our group of friends gathered a few tables ahead and see Rich making fun of all the boys that pass by. - Better not, I don't want to owe Rich any favors.

We laugh a little and Edgar insists on going back to the people. We got into the conversation and managed to have some fun even though I felt a great emptiness inside me.

A few hours away

Ellen opened the car door and got in. The man who was waiting for her smirked and received the package that was delivered to her.

- Half now and the rest when it's done.

- Right. - The metallic smile answered without hesitation.

Just as he got in, the woman got out of the car and plunged into darkness again.
