Eva's Pov
Walking into the Crossfire, with Gideon's hand in mine I felt so secure. With him in his black suit and grey tie and me in my baby pink dress, I felt like the power couple we looked. Gideon and I had spent the weekend talking about baby stuff and planning our life together. Just the thought of spending the rest of my life with Gideon filled me with irrational joy.
"Will I see you for lunch?" I whispered in his ear as we entered the elevator.
"Can't, sorry, business lunch. I'll see you after work? We can do dinner then stay at your place?" Gideon said, I heard the guilt in his voice, that he couldn't spend as much time with me as possible. I loved him for that. He truly was dedicated to me and this baby.
"No worries Ace." I smiled as I hopped off onto Waters-field and Leaman. Gideon stepped out and pulled me into a passionate, toe curling kiss. When he pulled away, I giggled.
"See ya Angel." Gideon said as the elevator doors closed. I walked to my desk, I was particularly early today so I figured I could get a head start on work for Mark and I to get thru. I wanted to prove how valuable I was while I could that way I knew that after baby, I had a job to come back to. Gideon and I had decided to not tell anyone til I was 3 months along, and less likely to face any problems. Mark came in and we got right to work. Time flew by as we finished the last of some of our campaigns, and prepared a ad campaign for a restaurant who had faced some bad press. 11 rolled around and I was painfully hungry.
"Wanna do lunch?" Mark asked as time dragged on. Normally I would jump at the chance but since I was pregnant I had to watch which foods I ate, so I figured I'd play it safe and go it alone.
"No thanks Mark, planning on taking a short lunch and running a few errands"
"O, ok" Mark said.
Stepping outside I took in that New York I hadn't full adjusted to. I figured I would stop and get a salad from the smoothie place down the street, then swing by a Albertsons and pick up a few snacks I had been craving. Walking down the street, I got so lost in my thoughts. I thought about Gideon and me and this baby. Just the thought of it all made me giddy. It wasn't until they where right next to me I realize someone was calling my name. Turning I saw Brett Kline, my ex who was hell bent on getting back together. Inside I laughed, this whole situation was so soap oprea and I was at a place where I wanted to shut down all the drama.
"Eva, I've been chasing you for the last mile and a half." Brett said clearly annoyed
"Sorry didn't hear you, whats up?" I said continuing to walk, as much as I cared about Brett he was a part of my life I didn't like to reflect on esspecially since I was going to be a mother.
"I called you all weekend, you didn't answer." Brett said. He was dressed very low-key in a baseball cap and shades.
"I was with Gideon all weekend" I said. I was down with lying just to satify egos and avoid hurt feelings.
"Christ Eva, when are you gonna get real?! Cross is no good for you!" my blood boiled, how fucking dare he!
"Brett me and you where bad news. Its done and over with." I said walking away from the situation I couldn't possibly deal. I heard Brett call after me, but I kept walking. Suddenly he jerked my arm, the pavement was uneven and I fell. O GOD! I felt all blood leave my face. I didn't wanna move, couldn't move.
"Eva, I'm so sorry. Let me help you up." Brett said but he sounded a million miles away.
"Call 911 now, please." I hears myself say begining to to tear up.
"Eva your fine you just tripped come on."
"I'm fucking pregnant! Please call 911." I began crying, I felt like I couldn't breathe. O god this couldn't be happening!
Gideons Pov.
I was on the edge of cutting a deal with Smith & Reight, a premium clothing distributor I had my eyes on months. They had made some bad investments, they where an easy fix and the revenue would have been incredible. Just as I was about to slide over a contract Scott walked in.
"Mr Cross, Ms Trammel is calling." o fuck, not now. Normally Eva calling would have been the perfect distraction but right now I needed to get this done.
"Let her know I'm in the middle of important buiness I'll call her back later." I hated denying her, but I really wanted this deal.
5 minutes later the deal was signed and I felt on top of the world. Striding back into my office I check my cellphone, I had 5 missed calls from Eva, 2 from Cary and 1 from Brett Kline. Suddenly I felt sick. Calling Eva back quicker then my fingers could mange, I got no answer. Cary same thing. Mother fucker what the fuck had I done!? Finally I decided to do what was best for Eva and called Brett. He answered on the 2nd ring.
"Well well well." I heard Brett just ooze with superiority. He knew what was going on and I didn't, and he knew that it gave him the upper hand.
"Kline tell me right fucking now where Eva is or I swear I'll ruin your pathetic life." I wasn't playing.
"Chill, chill she is at Presbyterian hospital." my heart stopped. I killed the call. I felt my face pale and I wanted to be sick. Storming out of my office I tell Scott to clear my schedule for the rest of the day. Something had happened to Eva and possibly our baby. I had put her call on hold for some stupid meeting. O god, O god. I wanted to cry and punch something at the same time. But in that moment I kept all emotions at bay, I had to find her. Be with her.
