A/N: I hope you liked the previous chapter. I'm sorry for the possible errors. Victoria sneaks out of the room very carefully. She absolutely may not wake Conrad. It's raining cats and dogs outside but she hasn't the time to put on a jacket. In her white thin dress she runs to the beach house. Fortunately there still burns some light. Victoria slides away the curtain and knocks on the door. David startles and he has to look twice to see who the woman is. Without her stilettos, designer clothes and make-up she looks very fragile. "David it's me, open the door please!" "Vic, how do you look like?" Strands of hair are sticking to her face and the enormous circles around her eyes give a sing that she has some sorrows. David gives her a handkerchief and suggests to make some tea. "I'm sorry but I can't stay for long." Suddenly she begins to doubt about her being here. How would he react? Maybe he would become angry. What she now has to ask him is not a little thing. But she didn't want to keep it back from him. She may not fall into old habits. "Vic, what is going on in your beautiful mind?" "I think you better sit down." David is surprised, this must be very important. "David, do you know that I love you and that I'll always fight for us?" "Yes of course I know." "I know that this isn't going to be simple but we have to go away from here! The sooner the better. Tomorrow I go to the city to talk to some people..." David interupts her: "But I thought you wanted to wait. Amanda has her friends here and feels comfortable now." "I know that David but this isn't only about us anymore." "How do you mean?" Victoria stares at the ground and then looks in his eyes. She sighs and says: "I'm pregnant!" "What?! By me?" "Yes of course!" "Are you sure?" Victoria expects that he would explode every minute. "I'm very sure but I want you know that I didn't planned this whole thing. I've just been very stupid." Her eyes fill with tears. "I'm sorry!" "But sweetheart you don't have to apologize. You carry our baby and that's amazing. Come into my arms." They embrace and Victoria starts to cry. "I was so anxious that you would kick me out and that you were upset because I put you for an accomplished fact. " "Ssssht, my baby. I never would do such a mean thing to you. Don't worry, we come through this together. " They hugged for a while. "I'm sorry for interupting this moment but I think it's better that you go back now. We talk tomorrow. Promise me you 're going to be careful." "I promise." They kissed each other ardently and then Victoria dissapears in the night.
The telephone in Grayson Manor rings. Conrad answers the phone "Hello, this is Conrad Grayson." " Good morning Mister Grayson, gynaecologist Parker speaking. Can I speak to your wife? "She's not at home at the moment, but maybe I can pass the message. " Uh yes, I called to say that our appointement for tommorow cannot take place. Maybe we can meet a day later? And why don't you come too so you can see your baby the first time? " "Baby?" This couldn't be possible. Conrad stands transfixed to the earth. "Yes, didn't she speak about it? I'm sorry for that but she is already been here for a first check up so I thought she discussed it with you. " "No no she did speak about it. It's just such a wonderful news that I still can't believe it." "So you pass her the message?" "Yes, sure." Conrad trembles. He and Victoria hadn't been intimate with each other for months. It couldn't be his child. It was David Clarke who got her pregnant, that son of a bitch! Months ago, things looked suspicious to him. He ordered his private investigator to find out what was wrong. It turned out that Victoria had an affaire with his most reliable employee but he thought it would be over soon. As soon as Victoria had enough of him, she would leave him in the lurch. At that moment, he was so sure of it but now...He could never have foreseen that this would happen. He absolutely don't want her to leave. She's his wife and she would stay his wife for ever and ever. He pours out a glass of Scotch and tries to calm him. He has to think collected and find a solution.
