⎯ Late at night, again. Neva was getting tired of Ryan's constant long hours shift. Before he arrived he already tidied up the living room, putting the blankets, pillows, and everything so he'd sleep on the sofa. Not in their bedroom. She didn't think moved in with him, meaning she would see him less and less… Will he even make it to see their own kids? A lot of doubts crept into her mind… Maybe it was the hormones because the heat made her more irritated than normal. Okay, Neva hardly gets annoyed, but being all 'hormonal', was making things difficult.

She reckons he won't even take her for their babymoon as he talks. Not if he continues on that speed of work. He doesn't even need that job to live! Therefore, she understands it is a passion of him. She'd be lost if people took art from her. Flash was in their bedroom, and Boo occupying the spot where Ryan slept on their bed.

There was a topic, she wanted to talk about… But she always forgot, always falling into his charms. Damn it. This time, she is irritated and very hormonal, she will try to remember… Once, she hears his footsteps. ❛ You'll sleep in the living room, and I'll be with Flash in our bedroom tonight. On the good side, you can play your fucking games. Good night. ❜

She feels her fists fly as she spars with Vladmir, the co-owner of the box club, almost breaks his nose cleanly through, her movements terrifyingly precise, flawless, controlled but furious, like fire bursting through windows, shattering them. He says cool it cool it cool it, but Mizu can't stop. She is dynamite ready to go off. She is an explosion. She's wearing a tank top and men's boxing shorts soaked through with sweat. She lunges forward and smashes her fist into the side of his face, one single clean cut powerful blow and Vlad reels, crashing into the ropes of the ring, hissing fuck. He rights himself and spits out blood, gasping in shocked awe, his breath completely shattered in his throat, you broke my fucking tooth!, he spits, his jaw crimson with blood, and Mizu just blinks at him, suddenly seeing him past the cloud of fury that has swallowed her up in the heat of the fight, and says "uh huh." removing her gloves and tossing a towel at him. She chugs down a bottle of water and wipes at the back of her neck with a black towel.

She is a late-night storm warning with tornadoes in her fingertips, her hair slick with sweat gathered up in a tight bun. When she hops off the ring, she sees him there, and although she does not react, a muscle in her jaw spasms; maybe he's been watching the fight, maybe he's been training. She doesn't fucking care. Suddenly her attention is snatched away, zeroing in on Caddel. She does not spare him a second glance but bumps into him when she passes by, pretending to be wanting to refill her water bottle, says my bad because she's (purposefully) made him drop one of his gloves snd she picks it up, her face a blank expressionless mask as she hands it over, her voice deep like thunder. Everyone here knows her as him, the Ghost, nobody calls her Mizu. She does not attempt to introduce herself.

'Hi babe. I'm at the hospital, before you freak out, I wanted to see a doctor alone, taking some personal doubts, and no, this wasn't a routine appointment like we do together. I'll do some exams right now, and all things points that I might stay over here. It's no secret, that I'm not feeling very well. Anyway, here is the address [ hospital address attached ]. Just in case, can you bring me some clothes? See ya soon, with love Neva.'

𝐍𝐄𝐕𝐀 𝐖𝐀𝐒 with Ryan, in the waiting room from the clinic, to do some check-ups she needed to do. Truthfully, since she found out she was pregnant, she was neglecting all the doctor's appointments she had to go. She was taking this time off to get to used the idea, and to take any further decisions. If her boyfriend didn't come, she might also skip this appointment. She was holding his hand, her head leaned on his broad arm.

She came from work, to go to this appointment and have lunch with him. Neva knew Ryan was worried about her eating habits, this is why now and then she's going on lunch with him. ⏤ Her name was announced, and she smirked because per usual mispronounced, which was a topic she had talked about earlier with Ry. She entered the room, and the doctor introduced himself to her and asked her to sit, giving a brief explanation of what will be doing that day.

Neva did what she was instructed, and held his hand to start the ultrasound.

𝐍𝐄𝐕𝐀 𝐇𝐀𝐃 𝐀 hard day, she didn't feel well during her work presentation early and ended up in an emergency at the hospital, but luckily it wasn't anything too 'dangerous', the news, however, was shocking. She didn't want to disturb Ryan at work, either way, she wanted to stay alone to digest the news herself. There isn't anyone she can talk to ( and she doesn't burden people with her problems ), so she decides to hide in one of her secret locations, one where she is sure Ryan won't find her.

She bought a flight ticket to Stockholm, out of impulse… Part of her wanted to run away from this place, this city, and this country. She didn't want to leave her boyfriend, but she didn't know how he is going to take the news. ⏤ It was past midnight, and she remained sitting on the floor now, in the corner embracing her own legs, on the Williamsburg bridge. Hearing the noises from cars passing or motorcycles down her. Her phone battery was dying, but she saw a few of Ryan's texts to which she hadn't responded.

She wiped her own tears and put the phone on her coat vibrant pink coat. Her luck is that she knew a few people from the hospital to get away from there… Otherwise, she'd have to wait for a company, to release her from there. Holding her papers, with the results.

𝐍𝐄𝐕𝐀 𝐖𝐀𝐒 working a lot, but she managed to take a day off only to visit her hometown during her work trip to Europe. Some of the events were canceled, but the 3 most important events she attended, were along with her boss and a co-worker. ⏤ She visited her grandparents and had a layover there. And bought extra suitcases to bring things from Europe to the USA. She came with one, and now she's back with 2 suitcases and a small one. During these days, she had no idea how much she would miss Ryan until being so far from him, although she kept her nonsense texts in the dawn for him and always sent texts and pictures of things. Returning home, Neva traveled in first class, and before heading home she stopped to leave the souvenirs from her hometown to him, one of them was cheese and cookies, which were one of her favorites, and something special for his beloved Cordelia too. Unfortunately, she hasn't met the other woman yet, but from so much Ryan talks about her, she feels as if she already knows the older woman.
