no mortgage bond, and it's quite close to a school for your daughter and your son." Kat is just standing there teary eyed, but I can tell that she doesn't want to accept it but she remains quiet.Mrs Lee smiles at me once she notices, "Sorry I'm late." I apologize."Now that we're here I can show you the interior." We all head inside, the kids rushing before us.One thing I'm happy about is that it comes furnished, it's cosy but also screams luxury. We walk around and show them the kitchen, living room and dining room along with the playroom in the basement.We head upstairs, where there is four bedrooms and three bathrooms. The main bedroom stands alone with a bathroom with it.Two other rooms are conjoined with a bathroom and the other is alone with a bathroom across it.It's more than enough for them, Mrs Lee leaves us claiming to have to go to another viewing we bid her goodbye.We are now standing out in the yard, where not far from the where we are is a jungle gym with the kids t

He speed a condom though, each time. I'm not pregnant.What if?"Are you going to test?" I look up at my laptop screen where Julia is in a cucumber mask."Julia it was a one time thing, and we used condoms." I reason."Well just do it because you don't want to end up doing something that makes you regret having have not checked.""But I didn't get repulsed or the nausea when Grey was drinking by the smell of alcohol." She gives me a face."Not everyone gets those symptoms Rosaleigh. Now tomorrow you better get that test and check. Goodnight." With that I end the call and continue looking at the symptoms.Instead of going to sleep I walk out of my room and into the other, silently I shuffle under the blankets and lay my head on his chest.I

Nic walks in, closing the door behind him and sits on the chair before my desk. "What's the appointment about? If you don't mind me asking." He begins, I shrug it off."I just haven't been feeling well lately but it's alright." He smiles with a nod."Anway, I see that we haven't gotten much time to talk since the day of your engagement." He wiggles his eyebrows with a glimmer in his eyes.I raise an eyebrow while stapling some papers together, "I know about the whole contract deal, but I want to know how you feel about all this." His mood takes a turn, he's still moderately bubbly but he sits back in his chair and looks me directly in the eyes, not too intimidating but a bit uncomfortable. I look away, it's like he's my therapist but worse in a way."Can we not..." I suggest looking down at the documents on the desk that I try my best to read through."Okay. But I think last time we established that you like him, how's that?" He asks, I give him a look and sigh."I still like him, bu

For the next few hours Grey and I hardly talk, not just because of the workload which is a lot might I add.But because of the talk Nic and I had, I even avoided looking at him. And because of that he's been very pissy, I can't blame him.I'm scared, can you blame me? Most probably yes but that doesn't stop my fear nonetheless.A knock comes on my door distracting me from my thought and work, I look up and see my boss."We have to get going." He says, my mouth forms an 'o' shape. I quickly get up and grab my jacket, phone and purse.I know I'm not coming back so I don't see a need for me to leave anything behind.I switch off the lights and close the door behind us.It takes us no longer than twenty minutes for us to get to the same hospital my dad is, we walk right past the receptionist and Grey leads us to a certain room.A quick nod and an elderly man stands on the other side, Dr Ruben his coat reads. "Ah, come in come in." He makes way for us to go through.We enter, just like the

I huff a breath holding back every ounce of me that wants to cry and tear everything apart, I crack my knuckles then fiddle with the ring on my index finger.Anxiety.A single tear rolls down my face.No, no, no, no.Someone grabs me holding me, I know the hold, the feel of me in her arms. Her scent, her touch, her tears.I stop what I'm doing and look down at her, she's holding me tight crying on my chest shaking her head. "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry." Her voice is soft and mumbled.More tears run down my face, "Rosaleigh, please." I manage to whisper, she looks up at me with bloodshot eyes and a tear stricken face.She still looks so f*cking gorgeous, she mouths the words 'sorry'. I bite on my tongue as we look into each other's crying eyes."I'm sorry, baby please. I love you, I know it's too late but please. Just- just say you remember me." I croak out.She pulls back wiping her tears away, she shakes her head. "Xander son." Her father gives me a sad look.I shake my head, "Give her

Rosaleigh P.O.VOne thing is certain, I am nor pregnant. Dr Ruben mentioned nothing of such, and I'm just glad that it's nothing but temporal lobe damage.I found it weird that Xander wasn't there when we were done, moreover that he looked like hell.I know he brushed it off as a business call but that must've been one hell of a call because his face was blotched in red. I wanted to ask but he brushed it off for a reason I guess, "Can we go to Wendy's?" I ask.He gives me a side eye, I'm confused for a second before I break out into a smile. "I promise not to order half the menu." I stick out my pinkie for him to take.He raises an eyebrow, "or be rude to the waitress, or eat like a pig." He smiles and connects our pinkies."I'm sure you'd still look gorgeous even if you eat like a pig." I don't know why his comment makes me smile but it does."I'll take that as a compliment." I return. We connect eyes for a second."I must be some gentleman if you take that as a compliment." I rais

A car is already parked in the driveway, we pull up next to it and exit the car. Xander said she wanted to move the location to somewhere where we'd or I'd be comfortable to talk about all this, so where other than home?We walk in on time to see Ms Jolene hand Ms Linean a glass of what I assume is juice.She stands up when she notices us, "Mr and Mrs Grey." She acknowledges hugging the both of us."Please, call me Rosaleigh. We haven't signed the papers yet." I say, she smiles with a nod."You can take your leave Jolene. Thank you." My fiancé says, I smile at Jolene which she returns before turning to leave.We sit on the two seater side of the L shaped couch while Ms Linean a seat away from us."Please tell me how you guys met? I like to hear about my clients period together, it helps me get to know them a bit." She asks taking a sip of her juice."I think the whole of the country knows that I'm his assistant, it's how this all began." I answer, I look down to notice Grey's hand sit

I ended up making creamy chicken mushroom with garlic, parmesan and spinach then ended up mixing it all with pasta.I bring the large bowl to the table ND join everyone, I notice that this I'd the first time that we are all seated around the table for dinner.The last few times it was Xander and I because we got home late, but this is better like we're uniting into a family.We say a small prayer and Xander dishes up for himself and Noelle then we dish up for ourselves."Oh my goodness." Lucia moans out, I look at her and raise an eyebrow.I take a bite of my food relishing in cheese that melts in my mouth and the mixture of everything tasting heavenly.I can't help but moan myself, I'll admit that I'm not much of a cook but this is better than I expected it to turn out.The after burn of the spices in it just add on, it's not too spicy but just right. "This is good," Xander comments.We eat silently for a while. "I was wondering, since Lucia is done with her exams; am I right?" He co
