Klavier sat in his office, looking through files and reports. Although not really paying attention or actually reading them.
Everything was on his mind at once. Ema, the baby. It still seemed so strange to him. Ema, the woman he loved. The woman he was in love with since he first met her. The woman who now loved him too. He felt incredibly lucky.
He wanted to do anything he could to help her. When she told him she was pregnant, he didn't leave time to think. He knew straight away that he wanted to help her. To be there for her.
And he did not regret that decision at all.
He heard a knock at the door and called for them to come in.
"Mr. Gavin."
"Ah! Ms Skye!" He stood up and smiled at her, desperate to make a good impression.
"May I have just a minute of your time?"
"Uh sure... come in."
Lana entered and closed the door behind her, taking a seat in front of him.
"So... I heard the big news."
Her tone of voice made him feel a little uneasy. She sounded almost disappointed, or annoyed. Or both.
"I'll be honest with you, at first I wasn't... too happy."
Klavier nervously scratched the back of his neck and prepared himself to be lectured.
"Ms Skye, I know it was sudden. I know you probably think I'm irresponsible for getting her pregnant suddenly. I understand that. But she's not someone I'd ever just throw away like that, she is someone who deserves to be loved and respected. I like... I love her. I'd never do anything to hurt her. I want to be there for her."
Lana smiled as she listened to him go on with his little speech. He felt like this was one of those embarrassing "what are your intentions with my daughter" father talks.
Except with her sister, the ex chief prosecutor.
"I came here with the intention to tell you what I expect from you, now that you and my sister are together, but I know there's no need now. Everything you just said... I know you're right for her. And... I respect you for your decisions." Her tone of voice softened and sounded more friendly and welcoming. "I came to thank you, actually. Thank you for not abandoning her at her time of need. I'm happy that if she's starting a family with anyone, it's with you."
"I just want to give her the best. Thank you, Ms Skye."
She smiled at him. "Please, call me Lana. I apologise for leaving so quickly, but thank you for taking the time to speak with me."
"Of course. Thank you for coming to see me."
As she went to leave, she turned back to him and said; "I think you're going to be a great father."
He smiled at her once again and gave her one final thank you for her kind and encouraging words.
Ema didn't have work that day and she didn't particularly fancy staying inside all day, so she decided she'd go for a walk. She felt like fresh air would help her think properly.
"Hey Ema!"
"Trucy, hey."
"Athena told me the news. Congratulations!"
"The whole agency knows, right? I wouldn't be surprised with Maya and Athena being there."
"Yep. Those two don't keep secrets very well. But hey, here's a tip; if Athena teases you, ask her about her thing for Polly. But you didn't hear that from me!"
"Apollo? Does she like him?"
"Well, she won't admit it, but it's obvious."
"Interesting. Thank you for that information."
"I was just about to go and meet my friend, I thought I'd come and say hi and congratulate you. Hope you have a good rest of your day."
"Thank you, you too."
Meeting Trucy had given her interesting information that she could use to her advantage. And she just couldn't wait to use it.
Hey guys! I'm back. I'm sorry I took so long. Next update will be sooner though!.
