Alexander was observing every expression on her face. He was waiting for how she would react now. His back was now leaning against the bedrest and he had already put his gun in his waist belt. He does not want her to freak out after seeing a gun in his hand. She has already faced many horrible things today.
The first thing she did was put her hand on her abdomen and tears came from her eyes, "my Baby, She said looking at him Like she was asking him.
"our baby is safe."
"Yes, our baby." Alex didn't like that sometimes Avery referred baby to as 'my baby.' He moved his hand to her cheek and wiped away her tears.
"Don't cry. Everything is fine now." He placed his rough hand on her cheek which made her flinch. Her cheeks were hurting. He removed his hand from her cheek but Avery immediately hold his hand and placed it again on her cheek. She wanted to feel his touch.
"Your cheek will hurt more."
