“Come,” I say to Tiana, who’s gazing me wide-eyed. I can solely think about the shock she have to be attempting to get well from. I struggle down an uncharacteristic swirl of guilt as I take into consideration how we had been fucking simply minutes in the past, after I ought to have been taking higher care of her.

I rapidly usher her to the entrance doorways after which inside. It’s a personal Bratva clinic, however from the skin, it appears like every other nondescript workplace constructing. Anonymity is a necessity in my world, particularly for these of us needing medical consideration. Though it’s uncommon for me to be right here for the explanations we’re visiting right this moment. Usually I’m visiting our trusty bullet-puller – the seasoned medic who’s plucked sufficient lead from Bratva flesh to fill a cargo ship. However a being pregnant checkup? That is new.

We transfer rapidly by the carpeted corridors, previous muted framed work beneath tender lighting. Lastly, we attain our vacation spot. I’ve by no means been into these rooms earlier than, however I’ll admit, they’re nice. Simply what my lady wants proper now.

After which some relaxation. She’s been surprisingly silent for the reason that journey within the automobile. In all probability nonetheless recovering from all of it.

As we stroll into the room, we’re met by a brief, dark-haired man in a white coat. I’ve by no means met him earlier than, however I do know that he’s the perfect within the enterprise. He wouldn’t be right here if he wasn’t.

“What’s occurring, Kirill?” Tiana says below her breath. I don’t get an opportunity to reply as a result of the physician is speaking.

“Mr. Vyronov,” the person says, dipping his head so low it’s as if he’s considering of bowing. “I’m Dr. Kuznetsov,” he introduces himself. “And this have to be our mother-to-be?” He appears at Tiana, who appears fully confused.

“Sure,” I reply for her. “She is going to want a whole examination. She has been by an ordeal.”

“After all, Pakhan.” He nods and turns towards a small door main off the ready space. He pushes it open and leads us into an examination room.

The clinic is designed to be soothing, with tender colours and delicate lighting. This room is not any totally different. It’s a snug house, with an opulent examination desk and a tender gown for Tiana to put on.

“Please,” Dr. Kuznetsov gestures to a small changeroom close by, “take away your clothes and placed on the gown. I shall be again in a minute.”

He goals a respectful smile at me and leaves us. There’s one more silence after he’s gone. Tiana nonetheless appears tense.

“Kirill,” she half-whispers, her eyes flitting across the room. “What’s occurring?”

I frown, glancing at her. “What do you imply?”

She appears away, biting her lip. “I assumed… that you just had been indignant with me. That possibly you had been going to…” She clears her throat. “To punish me or one thing.”

“Punish you? Why the fuck would I punish you?”

“After you came upon in regards to the FBI…”

“In regards to the FBI?” I interrupt, confused. “What about them?”

She takes a deep breath. “While you came upon that they needed me to spy on you, I assumed you wouldn’t belief me anymore.”

I stare at her. “Why would you ever suppose that?”

She hesitates. “As a result of I lied to you.”

“You didn’t mislead me,” I say, my voice tender. “You stored one thing from me, however you didn’t lie.”

She appears up at me, her eyes looking mine. “You’re not indignant at me?”

“No,” I say, shaking my head. “I’m fearful about you.”

“About me?” she asks, looking my gaze.

“Da, Ptichka.” I frown. “About you and the newborn.” What else does she suppose I’m speaking about?

“The infant.”

“Sure,” I say. “Our child.” I say the phrases patiently. She took a knock to the pinnacle. We must always have that checked too.

She appears down at her abdomen, her hand resting on it protectively. “Our child,” she whispers.

I nod. “Our child. Now put the gown on so the physician can look at you. After what you’ve got been by, we have to make sure that he’s okay.”
