🌼Amari's P. O. V.🌼
The car came to a stop that made me stir. I didn't realize I have fallen asleep. The door opened to my side and Alpha Andres carried me inside. I just let him as I am still feeling tired. The doctor stated that I would always feel sick every day. When I get to my 2nd trimester, it will surely go away. It's the easiest part of pregnancy.

I was awakened by a gentle caressing of my cheek. I slowly open my eyes to see Alpha.
"Baby, you haven't eaten dinner," he said with a gentle smile to which I blinked several times. "I brought you something to eat."
He helped me to sit and he put the tray on my lap. It's a bowl of vegetable soup and a berry smoothie.
"I... th-thank you," I stammered.
He looked at me for a second before kissing my cheek. "It was nothing. I'll do more than this." I nodded my head and was about to take the spoon in my mouth when he beat me to it.
"I'll do it for you," he offered.
"No, it's fine-"
He put the spoon in front of my mouth to say, "Open, ahhhhhh."
"I'm not a kid, okay?" I tried to take the spoon, but he lift it out of my reach.
I huffed, "Fine." He grinned in victory.
"Good." I rolled my eyes and he raised an eyebrow. I rolled my eyes again, opening my mouth.
After a few minutes, we finished the food because he ate the rest.
"Yes?" he asked. "What is it?"
"Ummmmm...ca-can I...can I have an ice cream tonight?" I looked down instantly when I didn't get an answer. "It's okay if you don't want-"
"Baby, of course," he chuckled. "Let's go to the closest ice cream shop if there's still an open one."
I removed the cover off me squealing, "Yey!"
He smirked at me, shaking his head, "You really like ice cream now, don't you?"
"Hmmm hmmm,"

I sat on a bench in the park near the ice cream shop, licking my ice cream. I ordered Mint Chocolate Ice Cream.
Alpha went back to the car to get a coat and came back to put it on my shoulder. He sat down next to me and draped his arm around me. I jerked his arm away and scooted away from him.
He suddenly lifted me on his lap with no ease. I tried to hop off, but he tightened his hold on me.
What is wrong with him?
He started to rub my belly and it suddenly move. My baby just kicked! He stopped his movement and we stared at each other.
"Did the baby just kick?" he asked with pride.
I couldn't contain my happiness, either. It's the very first time the baby kicked. On top of that, it happened with his hands on my bump.
"Baby, did you miss your daddy?" he cooed.
I looked down. I don't know what to feel about this. We aren't an ordinary couple. We aren't even a real couple. I still don't remember him clearly. My dreams about a boy weren't that clear. Was my dreams a chain of memories that I suppressed a long time ago?
He placed me back on the bench and crouched down in front of me. He looked at me first, and then rub my belly. He took my hands and placed them on my bump with his hands on top of mine.
"Do you know how much I missed you?" he asked out of the blue. His voice sounded vulnerable. I don't know what to answer him. He speaks as though we are some kind of childhood sweetheart. "Do you know that I almost lost my sanity without you? And here you are, not even recognizing me...You have completely forgotten about me...Did you completely erase me from your memory?"
I could have sworn he sounded near to crying. I gulped.
"Let's go to a grocery store. I-I want an orange marmalade, please?" I wandered.
His eyes turned sullen. "Don't change the subject. Answer the question!" he demanded.
"Wh-what do you me-me-mean?" I stammered.
He snaps his head at me and knitted his eyebrows. "Why"-he caresses my face-"Do you really not remember me? Do you not remember us? Do you not remember how much I loved you? How much I still love you?" He sighed loudly and speak again. "Why did you forget about me?"
"It's because I don't really remember you," I mumbled.
His glowered. "Let me jog your memory-"
He held my face tightly and started kissing me. I am pushing on his chest, but he is like a rock. When I was able to push him, I stood up from the bench
and slapped him hard on the face.
"How dare you!" I hollered. I am really mad right now. How could he! "You. Are. A. Pervert! I don't like you doing that to me!"
His face hardened and he looks like he could murder me at any moment. I don't care, I just wanna stand my ground. He always assaults me any time he wants.
He stood up with his hands both fisted to the side.
He looked at me for I don't know how long. I was shocked when I saw a lone tear escape his eyes while looking ahead.
"Why," he began. "WHY! WHY DID YOU NOT REMEMBER ME? I KISSED YOU BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT I USED TO DO WHEN WE WERE YOUNG. I USED TO STEAL A KISS FROM YOU, BUT YOU NEVER ALLOW ME BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT YOU ARE...AND YOU NEVER REMEMBER?"
I suddenly felt dizzy, so I sat down on the same bench.
What could go wrong? All I wanted was to eat Ice cream.
He strides toward me. Crouching down, he held both my shoulders and now shaking me. "Have you ever missed me? Have you ever waited for me?" He stopped for a while then took a deep breath and say, "Have...you...ever..even...loved...me?"
I've never seen him so vulnerable until now. His voice makes my heart break into million pieces. He's like someone looking for affection for so long. I wanted to hug him and comfort him, but I held myself back.
I always have this image of a boy in my head but it was blurry. His hair is long that reached his shoulders, and he is tall, and a little muscular. He is always in my head since I was a kid.
