Chapter A
Her eyes fluttered open to welcome the beginning of a new day. Slowly she stirred on the bed in an attempt to wake her body up, not that it needed waking for the baby inside her had woken her up with its kicking. Thinking of the little one she placed her hand on her stomach and rubbed it round in circles around her ever growing bump. She was so excited about this baby, it was exactly what her and Gregory needed in their relationship, something to reignite the candle they both lit together but was slowly fading. Her thoughts went to Gregory and the horrible arguement they had last night. It was then that her thoughts began to speed up, as if the past few minutes they had been working in slow-motion. She remembered the fight between her and her husband, the way they left things, her pain, someone comforting her, comforting her in a way she knew she would regret, in a way she definately did regret. Thinking of the previous night she looked over to her right, and there he was, fast asleep.
How could I be so stupid? She thought to herself. But he looked so handsome; his strong features, his dark hair, his tense muscles, and his cute dimples. She definately saw what attracted her daughter to him. Caitlin. Oh god Caitlin, how could I do this to you again? Just as you've announced your engagement. This was stupid, who cares if he could be the father of my child, that doesn't give us the right to destroy my family like this. This can never happen again.
Olivia pushed herself up so she was sitting in bed. This disturbed Cole and he woke up from his deep sleep. He opened his eyes to see Olivia watching him, panic written all over her face.
"Olivia? Are you alright? Is it the baby again, are you in pain?" Cole sat up worried at the look on his lovers face
"No, its not the baby" Olivia said with her hand on bump "It's my baby, Caitlin, what have we done to her? This should never have happened. I told you the other day that we should stop before we hit disaster and now look!"
"Olivia, I know what you said, but you can't ignore what's happening here, between us" Cole placed his hand on Olivia's that was resting on her enlarged stomach
"Look, Cole" Olivia whispered while removing Cole's hand from her stomach "This baby could be Gregory's, nothing to do with you. And your going to marry my daughter, you said you wouldn't claim this child."
"I'm not just talking about our child Olivia, but us." He stroked a lock of her hair away from her eyes and gently placed it behind her left ear.
"There is no 'us' Cole. Last night I was tired and very emotional, Gregory and I had just had a huge fight, about you actually" Olivia added raising an eyebrow "My hormones were all over the place and you took advantage."
"I would never take advantage of you, you were upset and I just wanted to comfort you." Cole said looking into her piercingly bright blue eyes
Olivia shivered under his gaze and moved out of the bed, putting on her silk dressing gown. "Well I don't want iyour/i sort of comfort thank you." She replied turning back to face Cole. "Last night was a mistake, a huge mistake."
"But Olivia, the baby-"Cole started to say before being interupted
"Cole, nothing changes, you cannot claim this child, just because we had sex does not change anything!"
"Oh come on Olivia, it was more than just 'sex'" Cole said walking towards his lover completely naked
"No! Cole, it wasn't." Olivia said forcefully.
It was right then and there that Olivia Richards broke the heart of her lover and her daughter's fiance.
