Chapter 16 – Planning and schemesAnastasia BeatonPOVWhen I got home last night from Axel’s parents’ house I went straight to bed, when I woke up this morning Axel has already left for work. He left a note asking me to drop River off at his parents’ place. He and River has gotten comfortable at my apartment. It’s only the second time they’ve slept over although Axel sleeps in my guest bedroom. I still feel a little nervous having him around, like I’m waiting for the other shoe to drop. I’m going to say or do something, and he’ll go off on me like he used to. I’ve had this fear ever since I found out I was pregnant. I’ve been keeping my distance out of fear of doing something wrong.I quickly get ready for work; I wear simple skinny jeans and a long sleave shirt and a pair of boots. I wasn’t leaving the station, so I didn’t care what I was wearing.Once dressed I quickly got River ready to go to her grandparents’ place. If I have a daughter, I want her to look like River, well like A

Chapter 18 – Ring shoppingAxel KingPOVThe stake out was a bust, they didn’t try to attack Anastasia when she was alone in the house. They sat in front of the house for hours, just watching the apartment making sure she didn’t leave. That’s what I found weird. None of the other officers were being followed so why was she being followed? It didn’t make sense.I was so fucking upset I nearly run over to them, and fucking choked them to death. One of the things I didn’t get from mother dearest was patience. My mom had plenty of that raising three boys. She needed extra just for me.

Not just them but my brothers too. I rarely ev

Chapter 20 – Wedding dress shopping… Anastasia Beaton POV This morning I was woken up by all the women in the King family. I was asked to get ready. I didn’t know what to expect… Now you might be thinking why they would wake me at eight in the morning, I was having a good morning since my doctor’s appointment. Well not this morning… So, I’ve been throwing up all morning. I couldn’t keep down breakfast. I knew it was important when they refused to give up. So, I got ready. In sweats of course. I wasn’t going to try and get into a jean right now. But now I’m standing in front of a bridal boutique and my heart wants to make a U turn. I didn’t expect everything to happen so quickly. Axel had just gotten the ring two days ago. I didn’t realize how crazy the King family was until this very moment. When we got inside and looked around, I finally realized I would have to wear a dress. I wasn’t sure how comfortable I would be in a dress… Don’t they have a pants suit? Or a jumpsuit? I was
