Madeline's POV
I don't want to fall asleep because I still want to cuddle with my husband and talk. But I know because of my pregnancy, I always felt sleepy, and I could tell I fought back my drowsiness when he was still trapped underground because I couldn't stop thinking about Hunter. And now that he is back, I always felt so sleepy that I drifted back to sleep after our hot and sweet lovemaking, and I am sure I fell asleep with a broad smile on my face. It feels so nice to be sleeping beside him again.
I didn't expect that Hunter would extend his vacation leave and spend more ti with , and I was so surprised when he brought to the cetery so that I could talk with my mom. I know I have missed my mom lately, and I haven't spoken to her about my pregnancy yet, but my husband already made a plan for , and I was so thankful for him. And I am pleased to inform my mom that we are going to be parents and she is going to be a grandmother, and I know if she is still alive, my mom will beco so happy for .
It was her wish for that I could finish my education and have an excellent job so that I could have a comfortable life. And of course, she wanted to marry soone who loves . Now that I am married to Hunter, it feels like everything my mom wished for had co true, and it was more than she could dream of; and I know she was watching over because I believe the mont she died, she beca my guardian angel.
It feels so nice talking with my mom with Hunter beside , and I can tell that I am being loved, and I couldn't imagine being away with Hunter again. The agony was terrible, and I was so tired of crying, and as I talked to my mother, I asked her to looked over at us. I am aware that my husband is back, but it doesn't an that everything is over yet because we have to deal with his father. And I don't know where to start. I know my husband and mom already talked about dealing with Clark and Charlotte, and I was hoping everything would be alright for our family.
We left the cetery, and my husband kept on stealing glances at as he drove his car. I know he still needed a haircut, but looking at him now with long hair made smile because his ruggedly handso look made have knots on my stomach. He was only wearing a V-neck white t-shirt and jeans, and I couldn't stop myself from drooling over my husband. And I know why he was wearing this outfit. He knew it was my favorite. I couldn't stop feeling so thrilled and excited, and it felt like we just got married because I couldn't stop feeling the butterflies on my chest. He was holding my hand while he was driving with one hand, and I felt so overwheld with happiness.
The mont he took a familiar route, I couldn't stop myself from grinning, and I realized my husband knew how to make so happy. And I was wondering if he could read my mind because I have been thinking about this one and I wanted to ask him to bring to Calixto's house. And I am excited about Cal's birthday next week, but I know why he takes here now.
I couldn't believe that Calixto was already waiting for us on the front porch of their house, and I almost jumped from the car when I saw him, and I could no longer stop my tears from falling. Hunter pulled over on their driveway, and he quickly got out of his car to open my door; he helped get out of the car, and I ran towards Cal, and he was smiling at . And it feels like I am eting my father.
"Madeline!" He exclaid as he offered his arms to , and I was sentintal now.
"Cal, thank you so much for bringing Hunter back to ," I said the mont he released from his embrace.
"I don't know how to thank you, and I am aware that no words can express how much I appreciate what you have done to my husband. I know without you, I will be a widow, and I am going to raise my child alone, but thank you for bringing back my husband alive, and you make so happy. It ans a lot to because I don't know what will happen to if you didn't save him." I said, and I watched his eyes widened, and then I could see the happiness written all over his face when he realized I was pregnant.
"Hunter is going to be a father?" Calixto asked , and I nodded my head, and I felt my husband's arm around my shoulders. And then I felt so touched when I saw Cal's tears trickled down on his face. I knew he was crying with happiness because he was so happy for Hunter and .
"Yes! Cal, I am going to be a dad!" Hunter said.
"Wow! I am so happy for this good news that worth a bottle of vodka, Hunter." He said, and I heard Hunter's laughter, and when I raised my head, I could see the happiness on my husband's face.
"Yes! Indeed, Cal." Hunter replied.
"I am so happy for both of you," Cal said.
"I thought you were sad, Cal, because you were crying," Hunter said, and I know he was only joking.
"Don't be silly, Mr. Divenson. These are tears of happiness." He said, and then he laughed, and I laughed with Cal.
"Please, let us get inside. I don't want our neighbors to wonder why we were crying." He said as he motioned us to follow him inside, and I felt Hunter intertwined his fingers with mine as we got inside Calixto's house. And I noticed the entire place is so quiet, and I wonder where could be his wife and children.
"Please have a seat." He said, and we sat on the couch.
"I am alone, my wife and children went shopping, after what happened to us at the mining site I think I developed so phobia, and for now I want to stay inside the house, I am so afraid if I get out sothing bad will happen to again," Cal said, and I felt sad for him.
"Hey, Cal, I know what happened to you and Hunter out there was terrible, but I hope you will stop feeling scared because it will not do you any good," I said, and he weakly smiled at .
"I know, Madeline, but I can't stop myself from feeling this way. I tried to fight it, but I just couldn't, especially during nightti, maybe because of the darkness we experienced in the tunnel. But don't worry, Madeline, I plan to make an appointnt with a specialist tomorrow. I can't deny I needed help." He said, and I felt glad he would seek so help from a professional.
"So, how many months you want to have a vacation, Cal?" Hunter asked.
"Maybe one month is enough, Mr. Divenson." He replied.
"Okay, but if you need more ti, just tell , and don't worry, the company will shoulder all the expenses of your dication, Cal." My husband added.
"Thank you so much, Mr. Divenson. Do you think you can manage one month without ?" He asked, and my husband grinned at him.
"Well, I will have a new assistant for the ti being, and I hate to inform you, you can have your early retirent if you want." My husband said, and I could see Cal's face saddened.
"Mr. Divenson, I hope you will not replace yet. You know how much I love working for you." He replied, and my husband laughed.
"I was only kidding, Cal. You know I will never let you go, even if my new assistant is young, very beautiful, intelligent, and so in love with ." Hunter said, and Cal's eyes widened.
"How could you talk sothing like that in front of your wife, Hunter," Cal said right away, and I could tell he was disgusted with what he heard, and my husband laughed hysterically.
"And I couldn't believe you would laugh at ." He said.
"Cal, relaxed, my husband is talking about . We discussed that for the ti being, you file a leave of absence, I will be his assistant. It was also my opportunity to learn more things about the company because I don't want to be the VP for finance right away when I don't even know the company's financial status. Since I am new in the company, I need my husband to guide through." I said, and Cal's face lit up.
"Wow! I couldn't believe that you would give so much information in one eting, and you almost gave a heart attack, Hunter. You know I care so much about Madeline." He said, and I felt so happy to hear him say that while my husband chuckled.
"I am so happy for you, Madeline, and I don't know what changed your mind to work for your husband, but it would be so wonderful that you will be together, and I can tell Hunter's heart finally will stop feeling so restless if you will be working in the Divenson Mining Company." He said with a wide grin on his face, and I smiled back at him.
We said goodbye to Cal, and we left his house with beautiful smiles on our faces, and I know my husband looked up at Calixto as his father. And I felt the sa way too, and I can feel it in my heart that Cal loves us both like his own children, and it feels so wonderful to have him in our lives, and even if we are not related by blood, but he cares for us more than our family mber can. And I wished there would be more people like Calixto Morgan.
