Jia, however, could not sleep. She tossed and turned but still, sleep eluded her. So, to make use of her time, she watched a movie. When the story turned to a scene where the antagonist plotted to destroy the relationship of the lead's relationship, she turned off the video.

Her mind then went to Dr. Grace. If she would do all her means to take Jim away from her, Jim would have all the reason to leave her. He had done so many things for her but still she had left him many doubts. Until now, Jim still thought that her heart still belongs to Anthon. She knew it was so unfair for him.

While it's not too late yet, she would double up her efforts to win his full trust in him. She was ashamed of herself. She was deeply haunted with her guilt.

She picked up her phone and dialed his number. If Dr. Grace made him many calls, then she would make more herself. After many tries, her call was finally picked up.

Inside the operating room, Jim placed his phone on a table at a corner. For emergency cases, a circulating nurse may pick it up for him and put it on his ear. When they were already towards the end, where sponge and instrument counts were done at the moment, his phone rang. It was already 12 midnight. Jia must already be asleep by now. However, another call followed and another one.

A circulating nurse went to him and asked if he would want to take the call. "Please.. " he said.

Once the nurse put the phone into his ear, he heard her instantly. "Jia..why are you still up?"

"I missed you..."

"I'll talk to you afterwards. I'm in a middle of a stat surgery that needs cardiac monitoring." He replied in a very low voice.

"Okay, I'll wait. Love you." Jia muttered, making her wonder if she was really honest with herself.

Jim was no longer in his right mind. This was the second time she said it and he felt he was instantly lifted in the clouds.

Jia's mind wandered again to the past when she also called him up in the middle of a surgery. She was on her early signs of labor.

"Jim, I'm having cramps right now *and lower back pains!"

"Hold on first! I'll be there soon."Jim's thought was already flying wild somewhere, extremely worried for Jia.

Just when he reached home flying, he saw her at the bath room changing a blood - stained pad! Jim was so terrified that he immediately lifted her up and dashed her to the OB's clinic!

"Dr. Wayne, Miss Jia is on her early signs of labor. When the contractions get stronger, come back. Do labor watch. When the contractions come every four to five minutes, then call me."

Jim sighed as he calmed his fears. Jia, howeverer looked relaxed.

"Dr. Wayne, to speed up the contraction process, take her to a walk or do lots of sex with her. " The doctor gave them a teasing smile.

Jia blushed as they went out from the cubicle. She got nervous at the thought of having sex with him as the doctor suggested.

Back in the car, Jia broke her silence.

"Jim let's just take a walk down the neighborhood. " She said slowly.

"No, let's go home and make love."

Jia trembled deep inside as he parked the car in front of the house. When he extended his hand to help her out, he lead her towards the gate instead. She sighed in relief! They were going to take a walk, instead.

Sensing Jia's fear, he laughed. "As much as I wanted to do it with you for a long time already, I could still hold it until our wedding night."

She looked at him in disbelief. This man is surely not a saint!

Her labor progressed quickly and soon she was lying with her back on the delivery table and her legs on the stirrups. Jim was at her side on light green scrub suit, obviously nervous but still looked great. She felt bad that he had to see her spreading her legs so openly in this labor before he even had the chance to spread it himself within the comforts of a warm bed.

However, he had to be there. He was her everything, a lover, provider and rescuer.

She kept her pain as much as possible. Everytime those searing pains stroke, she would hold the urge to cry until she almost cut her lips in gritting her teeth.

"Miss Jia, you're so unusually silent. Cry or scream if you like! " Her OB understood her deeply. She saw her throwing stolen glances over Jim who turned pale many times than her. She was obviously worried for him than herself.

As the last pain surged before she made her last push, she wailed shortly, sending Jim to tears. She was holding his hand very tightly that it could almost break his bones.

Then, they heard the strong cry of the baby as the doctor pulled him out and handed him to her waiting pediatrician.

Jia then sobbed as she hugged the arm of Jim. Relieved and overjoyed, he comforted her with a kiss before rushing up to see the baby who was then placed over Jia's chest and abdomen. The pediatrician was cutting his cord.

"Congrats, Dr Wayne! You're now officially a dad! " His pedia said as she handed him the baby before he was placed in the nursery.

Jia was now silently shedding tears of joy as she heard the delivery team taking turns in exclaiming, "He' so cute!!!"

After the last image of her baby disappeared from her mind, she was already dragged to sleep.

Few minutes later, she woke up to the voice of Jim saying her name. She first thought it was a dream, but then Jim lifted her up and transferred her to her room.

However, her sleepiness was gone and she wondered why Jim was home.

"I escaped from the hospital after the surgery. Anyway, it's just a five - minute - drive from there. I was bothered why you called."

"I'm sorry, Jim. It's nothing. I just missed you, really."

Jim sighed. She did not know how frantically he escaped from his duty only to be told that he was missed so badly!

"It's only that?" He asked as he lifted her to his lap.

"Is it not important? "She pretended to be sulking.

"It is, of course." He chuckled, relieving his stress in the OR a while ago.

"There's more..."

He raised a brow.

"I love you." She said softly as she closed her eyes.

Jim's adrenalin suddenly rushed up.

"Jia, don't sleep. Say it again! "
