All Chapters of Carrying the Billionaire's Baby: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

It took me extra long to clean the tables after the dinner rush was over at the diner. Some teens thought it'd be funny to stick their gum underneath their table; I had been scraping it for at least fifteen minutes. How much gum had they been chewing?The diner was one of those retro restaurants that tried to imitate the fifties and had a jukebox playing 24/7. All of us waitresses had to wear fifties style dresses and roller-skates while serving. By the end of a shift, I was pretty exhausted.Callie was the only one remaining on the shift with me, though she wasn't much help. She had one reason for staying late and it wasn't to help me out. The secret smiles and winks shared between her and our manager made me want to vomit, but I just put my head down and finished cleaning my section.It had been a couple years since I had been hired for this job. I knew it wasn't something that would help my nonexistent savings account, but at least I could make ends meet.I knew that I shouldn't

I drove to the hotel which housed the restaurant I had agreed to meet Dax at. My stomach felt a little nauseous.I reluctantly handed the valet my keys and twenty bucks. Unfortunately, this emptied my wallet.The hotel looked elegant and luxurious and stood several stories high. It had gold on the name of the hotel sign and entrance. Even the bellhops wore expensive looking uniforms in the shade of a royal purple. When I walked in, people stared at me without trying to hide it. I felt majorly underdressed with my black slacks, flats, and bright blue blouse. Why did these people have to judge me? I was already out of place without their staring. I had to go up to the sixth floor to get to the restaurant. I noticed elegant light fixtures throughout the restaurant, and the servers had black and white formal wear on.Their tables had expensive looking glasses, tablecloths, and napkins set on them. I could even see the view of the city skyline from the windows. The sun was just star

I slowly kept trying to back up and was heading closer and closer to the door. Maybe I could leave without him trying to chase after me or something. Every step back was closer to my freedom.Part of me wondered if I could even escape. There was too much of a risk reporting an event like this, so I wouldn't even have the courage to tell anyone about this. Besides, he could just pay a large amount of money to keep me quiet.My heart was racing so fast, and my palms started getting sweaty. Dax suddenly realized I was trying to leave and spoke up. "Wait. It's not what you think. Let me explain Danica."Shit. I wasn't leaving as discreetly as I thought I was doing. Maybe I had gone about this the wrong way. I should've tried to render him unconscious instead. It was my fault for panicking too much. "Why should I let you explain?" I coldly asked after seconds ticked by on his clock.His face fell in horror as he put together what I was envisioning. I almost felt bad at seeing his e

The following day, I heard a knock on my door. I checked the clock, and saw it was only a little after six. I quickly put on my robe and peeked to see who was visiting me so early. A man in a very expensive looking suit and tie stood on the opposite side of my door. Dax had notified me that someone would come over to give a retainer of $10,000 per month. This was for the duration of the pregnancy. I answered the door and the man said, "Here is the money that was promised to you. This is to help cover any expenses."He held out the envelope to me, and I took it. "Thank you for delivering this to me.""You're welcome. Mr. Ryan would've done this himself, but he had an early business meeting today.""It's no problem. I understand how busy he is."The worker went off without another word, and I shut the door before re-locking it again. Then I got ready for my day.After putting on my uniform for my job, I went to make breakfast. I decided to make a simple breakfast of scrambled eg

Dax POVI had made it just in time. My brother was doing what he did best. He used to be worse in his teen years. It was a shame to see my brother behaving that way. It certainly affected how people saw me by being related. Maybe someday he would stop his playboy ways. But this time he had been shameless with Danica. How could he just hold her like this? Jared needed to be put into his place. Jared holding Danica close to him released an anger I had never felt before. I didn't want him touching her so intimately, as if she was his.She wasn't my woman either, but I knew Jared didn't have the right to do that. He especially shouldn't have been doing that in my mansion. I stared Jared down, but he didn't seem that bothered by me. He kept a relaxed position and still had his hands on Danica. The more he kept touching her made me even more infuriated. Was he trying to make me punch him?I stepped closer to him and said, "Leave her alone Jared. Take your hands off her or I'll r
