"Hey, Wesley, you have red marks on your neck. What's wrong?"

Niles' eyes widened in surprise.

Wesley cast a warning glance at him. His eyes were sharp and fierce

Before leaving the office, he gave Niles a few reminders.

"Her work starts at 8 in the morning. Her shift ends at 6 in the afternoon. Keep that in mind, yeah?"

“Don't change the topic. What is wrong with your neck? Were you bitten by mosquitoes?" Niles knew well enough they were love bites. He rarely got the chance to make fun of the soldier and he was not letting this chance pass. He knew his brother was never a good liar

Wesley stopped in his tracks and turned around to face his younger brother.

"So, I had a romantic night with my wife. What's wrong with that? Are you jealous? Go find a girlfriend so you could do the same," he said matter-of-factly.

“Okay, get out. Now! Our conversation is over," Niles spat. ‘Now I'm questioning the reason he came back. It might not be because of Blair's leg injury. I think he just wanted to have sex with her, ' he thought.

"It looks like they're in a good place right now. Soon enough, I'll be an uncle. I really hope it's a boy so he could give Wesley a living helt."

Blair was used to being away from Wesley most of the time. She woke up the next morning knowing he was gone before she even opened her eyes

After she ate her breakfast, she went to snoop around their place hoping to find her morning-after pills. That was when she remembered

Wesley's warning from last night.

"If you take the pills again, I'LL keep you from getting out of our house. You won't be getting out until we get a baby."

Blair was frozen in her tracks. She stopped looking for the pills. She knew Wesley was not bluffing. She didn't want to get grounded. It was more terrifying than when she was younger

Suddenly, her phone started to ring. It was a call from Niles.

"Good morning, Niles. What's up?"

“G'morning, Blair. I've been waiting for you for more than ten minutes now. Can you come downstairs now? Are you done? You'll be late for work if we don't leave now." Wesley told Niles he could only wait for Blair downstairs. He would wait for Blair to come downstairs in the morning, and in the evening, he'd have to wait downstairs as well until the lights in their apartment were turned on.

“Huh? Why are you waiting for me?" Blair was confused. Wesley didn't tell her about their new daily setup.

“It's because of your dear husband. He said you got an injured leg and that you wouldn't be able to drive. Now that he'd left, I'll be driving you to work. I'LL also be picking you up after work," he explained

She was deeply moved. Wesley may have left, but he still made sure she was taken care of. He must really care for her to ask Niles to help her.

“Okay, I'm heading down now."

"Can you walk on your own? How about I go up and carry you down?" Niles offered.

“I'm okay. I'll be taking the elevator."

“Okay then." Niles didn't want to go upstairs after all. He only offered to carry her as courtesy. Although, it wasn't the case that he did not want to carry Blair. He was just worried his brother would find out he went up. Then he'd be in so much trouble
