Chapter 1

It was a long trip. Taking a plane from New York that will take them to California was exhausting, but it did not matter when they had each other.

Three days ago they had learned that they were expecting a child and could not be happier than that. The fact that they were married and a baby on the way made both happy.

"Niles?" I ask from the kitchen door

"Mrs. Brightmore? I turn Niles giving him a crooked smile

CC smiled as she entered the kitchen to hug her husband. "You will never get tired of that, right?"

Niles approached and hugged her waist "never in life"

"I'm glad" CC said before kissing her on the lips.

It was a habit he had taken since they had become a couple, when the Sheffields still did not know it. The fact of having close to the man that made her feel the most beautiful person in the entire planet was reason to be happy and what better way to prove it than to give kisses.

"I love our house, it's everything or I really wanted it since I knew we would come to live in California," CC said as he tucked his head under Niles's chin

"I know, it's what I also wanted and that's why he killed me every day looking for a place that was good for both of us"

"Well ... let me tell you that you did a good job" giving him a kiss on the neck

The couple remained hugged for a long time until they heard the doorbell ringing.

It was Fran Sheffield it really did not surprise any of the two that she came to interrupt, after all they were very close neighbors since if Fran had wanted to bother the Brightmore's house faster he just had to go to his backyard and open the small door that separated them.

"Hello everyone, how are you doing in your new home?" Asked Fran, working his way through the house and checking everything on the corners.

"We're fine Fran, thanks for worrying so much" said CC giving him a fake smile "now would you go?"

CC and Fran had become friends after what happened in the elevator the day Niles asked her to marry him for the fifth time. But even though they were getting along better, CC still could not stand the fact that Fran was very reckless.

"Ok ok ok I'm going, but promise that later they'll visit us"

"We promise," the couple said to the unison

With that Fran came out and left the couple alone

"I thought that being more than 100 steps from the Sheffield house would give us privacy but I do not think so," said CC, sitting in the armchair previously installed.

"she cares about us and that's not so bad" said Niles sitting next to her

CC could only lie on her husband's shoulder and close his eyes. Niles knew that she was tired. Since in those moments where she lowered her guard she had confessed never had liked to travel by plane and the fact of being inside caused her concern and obviously it took away her sleep.

"CC?" Niles asked, but did not answer "baby?" And again no response. He had to move to wake her up. To which CC moaned. "Love, it's time to go to bed"

"What? Aahh ok" said CC getting up and with help that Niles went up the stairs.

When he reached the bed Niles put a soft blanket and gave him a kiss on the head

"I'm back in a moment," he told CC but she was already asleep again.

Niles left the room closing the door, careful not to make a lot of noise and wake CC.

Niles went to the house of Sheffield and was treated by Fran with little Eve in hugs.

"Hello scarecrow, come in" said Fran standing aside to enter Niles "hey, where is this CC"

"She is at home, she was very sleepy after the flight and I did not want her to get her bad temper with you if I made her come" said Niles sitting in the drawing of the big living room of the mansion.

"good. I think I should start sleeping, you know, with pregnancy she will start to change her mood too fast and I hope it does not get worse over time. "

"I hope not" Niles said closing his eyes and crossing the fingers of both hands

Down the stairs was Maxwell "oh old man, it's a good thing you're here. Listen, I found someone that you and I know and guess what. Live in the same neighborhood. "

Niles could not think of anyone who knew that he had moved here "I really do not know who he is, sir"

"Do not worry anyway I invited that person to breakfast tomorrow and there you will know who I'm talking to"

"It's fair," said Niles, standing up. "Then I think it would be better for me to leave. Before CC wakes up and wants to eat me "and with that he left the house.

Niles arrived quickly at his house but in his mind he kept thinking about the person who would come to breakfast tomorrow but still did not know who he was.

I leave the subject for peace and close the main door with a key and go up the stairs. When I get to the door of his room I hear CC talking from the bed

"I thought you were moving with the Sheffields"

"Do not really take me that long, do you feel bad? You need something?"

"Yes, I need my husband to come to bed and I hugged so I can sleep peacefully"

Niles gave her a crooked smile and settled down next to her "better?"

"Mmhmm"

"I spoke with Mr. Sheffield and he informed me that here in the neighborhood there is someone we know and invited to breakfast"

"Mmmmmm ... and can you think of someone who might be around?"

"Nobody, but tomorrow we will know who it will be. Now it would be good to sleep "

"I know, good night, lover"

"Good night, love" Niles gave him a soft kiss and closed his eyes

The next day Niles was in the kitchen finishing breakfast. The morning was very good, waking up with CC by his side or happy. The two arrived together at the mansion. While Niles was starting breakfast CC was on the first floor with Fran helping him change the twins.

All this time it went fast soon they were all sitting around the table. Maxwell sitting on the head, Fran to his right along with twins and to his left was Grace, next to Grace sat CC and beside him was a seat reserved for Niles.

He had already started breakfast and there was no sign of the guest.

Fifteen minutes passed and the bell rang, and Niles got up and told him he would open the door.

When he reached the door he could make out a pro figure that did not seem familiar at all.

He adjusted his tie and opened the door. There was the invited person.

"Hi Niles"

Hello hello guys, I hope you liked this chapter. This is my first Fic and I am really anxious to know what she thinks. Tell me how well this is going and I'll keep updating more often. By the way, my English is not perfect so take it with a cry.
