Nicolai Petropoulis' POV

"HELPPPP......" I heard a scream from her room. I know it's not her voice. I'm pretty sure it wasn't her voice. My heart suddenly races rapidly. My legs suddenly pick up a pace as I hurriedly ran to her room. My heart tightening as horrific scenarios flashed in my head.  As I get closer, I could hear Victoria's voice clearly.

"No, no. no.. Elle. Wake up, please." She cried out. I heard thundering footsteps coming behind me, but I didn't bother to look around. I push the door open in haste and saw Victoria cradling Elle on her lap with her face soaked with tears.

"What happened?" I croaked as I quickly scooped her up. Terror filled me. I felt like I was transported back on that night she collapsed.

"WHAT HAPPENED?" I heard voices behind us, not sure who owns it because I'm already filled with worries, terrors seeing my Elle unconscious.

"God, no ... Please hang on, sweet pea." I mumbled as I stood up with her swiftly, then walk past worried theios Demetrio and dad.

Along the way to the stairs, I met worried theia Yvonne and mom. "My God, baby!" Theia Yvonne cried as I walk past them down the stairs in haste. I almost ran the stairs with unconscious body of Elle in my arms.

"HURRY, TO THE HOSPITAL." I bellowed to our driver as soon as I climbed inside the limo. I didn't bother to put her down. I was still cradling her on my lap. "Please, sweetpea. Don't leave me..." I cried out. My heart is tightening as I watch her peaceful face. She's still breathing which made me feel relieved.

The limo soon pulled out the driveway and sped up to the expressway. We are almost to the hospital when she move. "Sweet pea?" I cooed. I was her eyes flickering, then she slowly opened it. She was staring at me for a second, still looking disoriented. "Thank God, you're awake," I said relieved. I quickly kissed her dry lips.

"Where are we?" She tried to get up, but I held her on my lap. She looks around then to me. "Oh.."

"We are heading to the hospital. You fainted again." I explained it to her. "Why, what happened?" I asked still worried.

"I don't know. I just felt woozy, then all of a sudden, I collapse." She explained with her eyes looking distraught. "We can drive back home. I'm fine now." She told the driver, then she move from my lap to the seat beside me.

"Drive straight to the hospital," I told the driver. Then, I shifted my body to face her. "I still want to make sure you're totally fine. I need to know why did you collapse, sweet pea."

"Fine, but I tell you, I'm totally fine. I think because I ate little this morning." She stressed out, but I insist anyway. I don't want to take the risk.

"I still want to know, sweet pea." I insisted.

"Alright." She mumbled and then she leans on me. I automatically wrap my hands around her. "I love you," I heard her mumbled as he scooted closer to me until air is non-existent between us.

"I love you so much, sweet pea," I responded as I pressed my lips on top of her head.

"We are here, Sir." I heard our driver and the limo's door, slides open. I help her out and led her inside the hospital. I saw the Pallos' limo parked beside our limo and all of them scrambles out of the limo.

"Jeez, I'm fine. Why everyone was here?" I heard her whispered to me as she turns her head to see them trailing behind us.

"They are just worried, sweet pea." I smiled.

We walk to the reception desk. "Yes, may I help you." Says a middle-aged lady wearing a floral scrub.

"Hi. I just want my girlfriend to get checked. She collapsed several minutes ago." I elaborated and the girl nodded.

"All the doctors were busy at the moment," the girl looks on her system as she spoke without glancing at us ... ".. since she's looking fine, you may sit at the waiting room and we will call you once a doctor is avai-"

"LISTEN HERE, I DON'T GIVE A FUCKING CARE IS EVERY DOCTOR IS UNAVAILABLE. I WILL PAY-"

"Son," I felt dad's hand on my shoulder stopping me from cursing the shocked receptionist.

"CALL DR. HENDRICKS. TELL HIM IT'S NICOLAS PETROPOULIS, NOW!" Dad uses his intimidating stoic voice and the lady nodded with apprehension.

She went on her system and her fingers got busy tapping on her keyboards for several seconds.

"He should be here anytime soon, Sir." The lady gave us a tight smile and then dad shook her head.

Surely, the doctor who was about his early sixties walking to our direction and I saw his smile broadened when he saw dad.

"Nicolas," he opens his arms wide and dad gave him a brief hug. "It's nice to see you again," he said as soon as they parted.

"My future daughter-in-law collapse a moment ago. We would want to know if she's okay?" Dad said and the doctor nodded. He led us to his office.

As soon as we got in, the room shrunk. Mom was standing beside dad while theios Demetrio was holding theia Yvonne's hand. Everyone was sharing the same facial expression -worries and agitation."

We all seated as we watch the doctor questioned here and prodded her body here and there. The doctor didn't even bother to ask all of us to leave the room as if he knew that no one has no plans of leaving her.

.............................................................

Eleanor Pallos' POV

"Congratulations, you're a week pregnant!" Doctor Hendricks smiled. Suddenly, I felt like I was kicked in the gut. Isn't that too quick? Well, we had unprotected sex almost two weeks from now, but still, that was too early to predict, isn't it?

"Are you sure, Doctor?" I asked. I can't still believe it.

"So she's totally fine, Doc," Dad asked. He was now on his feet, looking cold and stoic-stricken. The doctor smiled as he nodded his head in agreement. "Her heart is fine?" Dad wouldn't give up. I know, my rheumatic heart is gone, but I didn't tell my dad. Besides, it may come back, but I know because I could feel it myself.

I look at Nicolai and he was still stunned and quiet. I felt worried all of a sudden. What if he doesn't want me to get pregnant yet?

"Isn't it too early to know that she's pregnant, Doctor Hendricks?" He asked the doctor. Dad was staring at him coldly.

The doctor chuckled. "It's not possible. Any woman can get pregnant right after sex, and can only be tested as early as a week." The doctor explained.

"I was just lying," Nicolai mumbled and Dad walks to him.

"You son of a bitch! Are you trying to lie that the baby wasn't yours?" Dad fumed and about to lunged at him, but theios Nick grabs dad.

"What are you talking about son?" I heard theios Nick asked. His voice is clear with anger, too.

"No, of course. It's mine and I'm happy." Nicolai quickly walks to me and was about to hold me, but I swatted his hand. I'm mad at him. He tried to deny it!

"Sweetpea, I'm just shocked. I lied to mom and dad about you being pregnant because I don't want to be separated from you. I was just shocked that I was right all along." I could see the joy in his eyes, but I'm still mad at him.

Dad was already calm and so was theios Nick. Mom and theia Addy was smiling crazily. "Oh my god, I'm going to see my little Nico." Theia Addy said and mom quickly objected.

"No, it's going to be my little Elle." She giggled as she clasp her hand dreamily.

The husbands just sigh as they watched their wishful wives.

......................................

Nicolai Petropoulis' POV

After hearing the great news, dad and mom were so happy. I was overjoyed. Finally, she can't get away from me. She's mine completely and she's carrying my child. I can't wait to see and hold our baby. I can't believe how fast I worked.

I grinned.

"...Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, and always perseveres. Love never fails." The voice of the Minister whom theios Demetrio called interrupt my thoughts.

Here we are in front of the officer whose ministering our whirlwind marriage.

The scenes at the parking lot of the hospital flashed back to me ...

"How dare you impregnated my princess without marrying her first!" Theios Demetrio lunged to me. Dad tried to stop him, but his fist already connected to my jaw. It was a sudden blow, and nobody sees it's coming.

He seems calm after theia Yvonne told him that the damage has been done, but as soon as we got out of the hospital, he just exploded. So he had been holding his temper all the while.

"DAD/DEMETRIO!" Theia Yvonne and Elle screams as they both walk to him. Dad apologized and then walk to mom, who was also looking worried.

"Stop it Demi. I swear, if you don't stop, I will kick the daylights out of you. Even if you kill him, it wouldn't change it. It is done." Theia rolls her eyes at him in frustrations.

"Do you hear yourself, babe?" Theios look at her in disbelief. "He took advantage of our daughter." Theios gave me a menacing glare.

"Are you okay?" I heard Elle who was already beside me. She touches the cut on my jaw and I wince. "Sorry," She mumbled. I hold her hand and kissed the back of it.

"It's okay. I deserved it." I gave her a small smile.

"It's the 21st century, for heaven's sake, Demi." I heard theia snaps at him. "I was pregnant before we got married, remember?" She reminded him and I saw theios Demetrio's face lit up with recollection and then his face softens. Suddenly, I felt relieved.

"I just can't believe my princess is pregnant," he still mumbled in frustrations.

"Please, it's not like Nicolai will run away." Theia stressed out. "Nicolai will not go anywhere!" She turns to us and face us with a confident aura as she smiles saccharinely. "This day won't end until they got married." She declared pompously making Elle grunted in disapproval.

"MOM! I want a grand wedding!" She whined as she objected with her mom's plan.

"You should have thought that before letting him ravish you!" theia said placidly, a determination is evident in her voice. "Besides, you can get that later." She smiled sweetly.

"....would invite the couple to share their vows. Nicolai, would you please deliver yours first?" I heard the minister's voice calling me, dragging me back to reality.

I smiled as I said whatever vows pop into my head. It was an abrupt wedding alright. "Today I take you as my wife. I love you now as I've always loved you, and as I always will love you." Is that even a vow? I don't know. I'm still floating. Everything went so fast and I can't really think well at this moment. I'm still feeling overwhelmed.

Elle smiled contentedly. "And now Eleanor, would you deliver your vows?" the minister said.

Elle stared into my eyes and said her vows. "Today I take you to be my husband; I join my life with yours. I promise to love and to honor you; to treasure you and to respect you; to walk with you side-by-side in joy and sorrow. I vow to be honest, caring, and truthful; to love you as you are, and not as I want you to be, and to grow old by your side as your love and best friend. I give you my hand, my heart, and my love, from this day forward."

Wow, that was too much to take, and I felt overjoyed hearing it. I saw a stray tear roll down her cheeks. I tenderly wipe it with my thumb and kissed her lips. The minister then made a fake cough.

"It's not done yet, Mr. Petropoulis." The minister said and I heard our audiences which mainly our families laughing at me.

I grinned.

I heard the laughter of our audience which mainly our families.

Our eyes locked as we listen to the minister continuing the ceremony. Her pearl gray eyes that I adored was filled with happiness matching mine. I can't believe she's going to be my wife in few minutes.

I just love her so much. I can't believe how fast it was, but I am. I'm completely bewitched by this girl in front of me, my wife.

"Please repeat after me," the minister said.

Elle took the ring from Natalia. How dad and theios Demetrio found a ring in an hour is beyond me. I guess it's the perks of being a billionaire. "I, Eleanor, give you, Nicolai this ring as a symbol of my enduring love. Just as the circle of the ring completes itself, so you complete me." She repeated after the minister and then slips the ring in my finger.

I took the ring and did the same. Repeating after the minister as I slowly slip the ring in her dainty ring finger. "I, Nicolai, give you, Eleanor this ring as a symbol of my enduring love. Just as the circle of the ring completes itself, so you complete me." I kissed the back of her hand after.

"Eleanor and Nicolai, by the power vested in me by the Court of Athens, I am pleased to pronounce you wife and husband, sealed together today both in law and in love," he smiled at us, then his eyes trained on my teasingly. "Nicolai, you may kiss your wife!"

I gladly obliged even without finishing his words. "Ladies and gentlemen, I now have the privilege of presenting (for the first time) Mr. and Mrs. Nicolai and Eleanor Petropoulis!" The minister closes the ceremony and then congratulate us.

A loud of applause erupted inside the Pallos' library.

Everybody hugs and wishes us good luck and happiness. Then, the grand dinner came after. Xandrous' family came too and was surprised from the sudden invitation.

..................................

Mom and theia Yvonne was already planning of any possible names for our baby. They were so elated and even called an interior decorator to decorate each one room in their mansions and so ours. I don't know how to tell them that I will be staying in Italy with her and I will buy our own house for my family.

"Where's my phone?" Suddenly she asked. She was laying in her bed while I was sitting beside her with my back leaning against the headboard while working. It's already eleven at night.

"Theios Demetrio, I mean dad has it..." I trailed off. I'm still not used to calling him dad. I'm still overwhelmed. Her eyes suddenly look terrified. "Is there any problem, sweetpea?" I asked as I leaned down and ran my hands on her hair, brushing stray locks blocking her beautiful eyes.

"Nothing," she nodded her head and then stood up and scooted closer to me. I folded my laptop and place it on the side table. I wrapped my hands around her, making her feel comfortable and secure.

"Are you happy that we are having a baby, Nico?" I heard her said after a few minutes of silence.

I don't understand why she ask it, and it pained me to hear the fear and uncertainty in her voice, but I kept it inside. I know she's scared and everything came so fast. She was still overwhelmed. "Shh... everything will be alright, sweetpea. I'm happy. Very happy! I can't wait for our baby to come out." I kissed her forehead and pulled her closer. "I love you so much," I said very emotionally. I want her to feel it and trust me.

"I need the phone back, Nico." She looks up to me with a pleading eye mixed with fear. I feel odd staring her weary eyes. Is something wrong?

"You can get it back tomorrow, sweetpea. Sleep for now." I sighed. I pulled her back to sleep. "Goodnight, baby." I kissed her lips and she kissed me back with fervor. Her lips shaking as she wraps her  hands around my neck, pulling me closer to her. The control I've been holding since we were alone together already crumbled down.

I slip my hands inside her skimpy thin nightdress and skims her soft sides, all the while kissing her torridly.

Our tongue dances with desperation, consuming each other. Our moans synchronize, both already swimming in the pool of carnal desires. Desires of joining as one.

My kisses became aggressive and desperate.

"Nico ..." she moans and hearing her raspy, needy voice made me almost came instantly.

My kisses trailed down on her exposed shoulder, kissing my way to her chest, planting hot wet kisses, sucking her sweetness. God, I can't get enough of her.

"Nico." She place her hands on my shoulders and tried to stop me. I pulled her nightdress off her and she complied. She was lost too as I was.

"Nico.. wait." I heard her husky voice, stopping me.

"Shh.. sweet pea ... " I hushed. "I want to ravish you, tonight." I breathe, and then continually attacking her chest, ravishing her sweet lord, sensitive perky breast, taut nipples.

"Nico, someone is stalking me!" I stop midway of sucking her nipples.

"Wait, what?" quickly, I lay on top of her with our eyes locked. My head were still blurry, my body is still heated and my brain is slow, processing her words. Talking with her while her body is nakedly exposed in my eyes, truly hard to think.

"Someone is texting me, telling me "I'm his". That's why I need to retrieve that phone.."
