(Zack POV)

It had been years since I'd seen her since she gave me strength. Saved me.
...
And it had been 2 years since I left...

2 years since I'd seen her, I thought I could never make it up to her...

We had something and I ruined it...

I fucked up big time.

This time I will prove my worth, I will beat her in the championships...

This time I'll make it right...

(End of POV)

After Zack had beaten Cathy in the arena and successfully reached the next level, Rachel had come to find him.
"You did well out there, a very impressive performance...I'd expect no less from you, Reaper" Rachel spoke softly as she approached him,
"Tch, thanks, do you really have to call me by that name, you know what it is...so use it!" Zack snapped at Rachel who just let out a sombre sigh.
...
"I missed you"
"I missed you, Ray"
They both sighed in unison as Zack held her, she felt tears paint her face but still looked up and smiled at him...

It hurt.

"Ray, I'm sorry, I never thought I'd ever have the chance to say that...I really am sorry" Zack buried his head in her shoulder as she stroked his hair.

"It's okay Zack, I forgive you... I love you" Ray smiled at him as he hid his face, trying not to cry.
"I'll prove myself to you this time, I will beat you...Then and only then I am worthy of your love Ray" Zack sternly said as Ray sighed.

"I know you'll do that, it's you and you hate lies....but for now just stay like this....come I'll take you to my room, it'll be more relaxed there" Ray kissed Zacks cheek as they walked hand in hand to her penthouse like room.

They both sat holding each other on her sofa for a while until Zack broke the silence.
"I love you Ray" Zack looked at her as she felt tears come to her eyes.
"I love you too Zack" they both shared an overdue and passionate kiss, it felt like it was going to last forever.
"Zack what are y-" with one swoop Zack lifted Ray into his arms and carried her into her bedroom, pushing her down onto the bed.

"I want you"  Zack whispered in her ear as he bit down on it a little making Ray moan, 

"Zack..."  Ray breathed as Zack kissed down her neck, biting and sucking on her pale, tender skin.

Ray clutched onto Zack tightly as he slowly and painfully made his way down to her chest, where e proceeded to carefully unbutton her figure-hugging dress, Zack was able to see every inch of Rachels perfect figure as he caressed her gently, making her moan which was turning Zack on more.

"Ray... don't cover your mouth let me hear those sweet, seductive moans of yours... I've missed them" Zack whispered making Ray blush 

"Z-Zack don't say things like that..." Ray tried to conceal her face, but for her, that was a mistake as it only made Zack even more persistent.

"If you keep being cute like that, I am afraid I make lose all control and ravage you" Zack gave a sly smirked making Ray turn even redder.

The two continued to "argue" and kiss until Zack made a bigger move...

"Ahhh!" Ray moaned in pleasure and shock "Z-Zack s-stop that!"

"Stop what? You taste so good.." Zack retracted his mouth from her leg and licked his lips smiling at her 

"You tease me too much!" Ray pouted 

"I wouldn't pull that face if I were you, especially with the position your in right now... heh"

"Wha--!" As Ray was about to speak she felt Zacks fingers rubbing on her panties

*Blushes heavily* 

"Ray-Ray you're so fucking wet" Zacks smirk grew bigger...as did something else.

"Aahh~ nghh~"  Rays moans grew louder as Zack removed Her dress and underwear, leaving her fully exposed and all his.

"Ray-Ray you're gorgeous...give me your everything" Zack blushed as Ray stroked his hair 

"You already have all of me...now make me yours again" Ray outstretched her arms as Zack fell on top of her and into her warm embrace, she kissed his neck as he moaned a little and called out her name. Zacks urges finally came over him and he started to grind against Ray as she undressed him, his clothes and bandages falling to the ground.  Ray them managed to flip Zack over so she was straddling him...slowly she made her way down to his dick where so proceeded to suck it and kiss it gently.

"R-Ray...Nghhh~am gonna cum...fuuuckk Ray harder"  Zack moaned as Ray heard his plead and went harder until he came 

"I'm cumming...Nghhhh~"

"Ahh~" *gulps* 

*Heavy breathing* "R-Ray that was so fucking good... come here and let me getta taste" Zack forcefully pulled Ray on top of him as he planted a rough but passionate kiss on her lips, his tongue exploring every part of her mouth as she responded back to his fierce kiss in the same way..

"You taste amazing...especially after you've just had a taste of me"

"Z-Zack" Ray panted as they both parted from the kiss, a thin line of saliva was the only thing that joined their lips together.

"Z-Zack...Nghhh~ d-don't what are you doing Ahhh~" Ray tilted her head back as Zack entered her while she was still on top of him, he continued to hold her hips in place while he thrust deeper and harder each time. Ray, eventually, started to move her hips in a circular motion while Zack thrust faster, they both finally ended up having a steady rhythm going and they both moaned and called out to each other in unison.

"R-Ray Ahh~" 

'Zack nghh~ ahhh~ mmm" 

Both tongues and bodies intertwined until sunrise, they both collapsed exhausted but glowing after their passionate and fierce lovemaking session.

All fell silent as the reunited couple fell sound asleep in each other's familiar embrace.

*5 weeks later*

"Zack, you should probably start preparing for your next battle in the arena as it will be time shortly" Ray called over to a sleepy Zack who has just entered the dining area after waking up to the smell of a fresh breakfast being cooked... he had been staying with Ray over the past few weeks and they had "done it" a lot over that period of time, they had just about finally sorted out their relationship and had rekindled their love for each other and agreed to start off fresh.

"Breakfast is served your Royal Laziness" Ray placed the food down she had been making and kissed Zacks cheek as she placed a plate in front of him before she the too sat down next to him.

"Huh? Me lazy? you've got the wrong guy Ray" Zack triumphantly smiled which make Ray giggle

"Anyway something smells good, as always, breakfast looks delicious!" Zacks mouth watered as he thanked Ray for the food and Began to eat 

"It's nice to have company while eating again, I'm glad you enjoy my cooking so you better not waste any!" Ray laughed as Zack gave a warm smile... then went back to eating.

After they had finished eating they went to clean up and prepare to go out for a walk into the nearby town. 

"Hey, Ray you ready yet? It's almost time to get going!" Zack shouted to Ray who was in the bathroom.

No reply 

"Ray?" Zack called again to which she didn't respond, so he titled his head in confusion and walked over to Rays En Suite.

"Ray..? You in here?"  Zack once again called out as he slowly entered her bathroom being careful not to scare her suddenly... as he entered he saw Ray slouched over the toilet, violently being sick looking as white as a ghost. 

"z-zack~" Ray called out weakly to Zack as she tried to give a smile, but instead turned back to the toilet and threw up again.

"RAY! What the fuck is wrong are you okay? you've been in here an hour being sick and you didn't call for me! YOU DUMBASS! We need to get you to a hospital something isn't right!" Zack panicked furiously as he packed up some essentials if she was to stay overnight, then wrapped her up and carried out of the apartment and ran to the nearest hospital. He quickly explained the situation to the nurses where they rushed her to her private examination room.

'Whoa, Ray much be famous or at least well know and respected as a gladiator to be able to get such good health care with no questions asked' Zack pondered to himself while he waited in her room until they brought her back in.

"How is she?" Zack panicked and rushed to Ray's side.

"We are waiting for the results to come back, they shouldn't be too long so we will inform you of her status as soon as the results come in, but for now stay calm for Rachel should wake up anytime soon" the Doctor spoke in a professional manner as he finally left the room.

*15 minutes later*

"Ummm...Zack??" Ray woke up and called out to Zack who was looking out of the window

"Ray?! Ah, you're awake now, how do you feel?" Zack hugged her gently,

"My throats a bit dry and I'm craving apple juice, but apart from that I just feel like I have a cold...did I pass out?" Ray carefully sat up and they shared a sweet kiss

"Yeah you did, the Doctor should be in with your results soon so don't worry am sure you'll be fine Ray...I'll go get you some apple juice then, just relax while I go get you some, I'll be right back" Zack gave her a kiss on the head as she smiled and watched him go out the door .

...

"Miss Gardener is it? I'm Doctor Lou, I'm here with your test results." Doctor Lou handed over the results to her.

"!'

"Rachel Gardener is 4 weeks pregnant"
