Thanks for all the support and following of this story. It means so much to me. I don't know how I feel about this chapter or the last, so bear with me. They feel kinda like fillers to me. Please continue to review and let me know what you think. The only people in this story that belong to my head are Adaline and the baby.

Chapter 11

July 19th, 2011

Lea got out of bed and started her ritual of coffee. It had to be black, as strong as she could get it.

She was moving around the room getting things ready for the day. She was excited to be able to see what Vancouver had to offer and to meet the guys of Bonnie Dune. Cory spoke so highly of them so she knew they would all be great.

Lea picked out a pink dress with black polka dots that had a poof right at her midsection so no one would suspect that she was pregnant. She couldn't wait for the day when she could wear maternity clothes and walk the streets with Cory's hand rested on her stomach. That day felt like it was never coming.

Cory woke up to find Lea's side of the bed empty. He sat up and looked around the room to find her sitting by the window in a chair at the small table. She was on her computer, as he figured she would be. He looked up and said, "Good morning, princess. How long have you been up?"

She smiled and took a drink. "Good morning to you, too. I have only been up for about a half an hour. I just wanted to send Dianna an email and make sure all was still well in Los Angeles without us."

Cory got out of bed and walked over to Lea. He kissed the top of her head and put his hands on her stomach. He said, "Good morning to you too, baby. You won't have to be hidden for too much longer. Daddy can't wait to watch you grow once we finally get to tell everyone all about you. Just a little bit longer."

Lea looked up at him and caught his lips.

Cory looked at her sternly and said, "Is that coffee?"

Lea looked down and guiltily shook her head yes. She looked like a five year old that got caught taking a cookie from the cookie jar.

Cory took the cup from her and said, "Honey, you know you can't have black coffee. It isn't good for our fetus. Black coffee is terrible for the baby."

Lea burst into tears. She exclaimed, "Cory Monteith, I am carrying your spawn! The least you can let me do is have some coffee. Coffee is how I get through the morning and my day. I can't go without coffee."

Cory sat the cup down and took Lea's face in his hands. He wiped the tears from her eyes. "You know I am only watching out for you and our fetus. I know it is going to be hard, but you really shouldn't have coffee. It isn't good for either of you right now. I don't want anything to be wrong with the two of you."

"A little bit of coffee isn't going to hurt anything!"

"But it will. Honey, our baby is a half of a pound right now. Everything you take in goes to them, too. Remember? That is why you gave up your vegan ways for the pregnancy. You are going to have to work on giving up coffee, too."

"Pregnancy sucks! I'm getting fat, I'm eating crazy things that I would never touch, I cry over everything and you are getting on my nerves!"

Cory sat on the end of the bed and pulled her onto his lap. He said, "I love you too, babe."

Lea started crying harder. "I'm sorry. I'm not ready to give up so much. I'm tired all the time, my back and feet hurt, and I'm becoming a psycho secret wife that no one would ever want to have. I don't see how you can stand to stay with me. I wouldn't blame you if you left me."

With those words, Cory started to cry himself. "Do you really think I would be like my father? I am not going to leave you or our baby. I am not going to be my father. I am going to be there for my kids. I know how hard it is to go without a dad. I would never put a kid through that."

Lea wrapped her arms around Cory's neck. She kissed every inch of his face. "I'm sorry, Cor. I didn't think before I said what I did."

Cory leaned down and kissed her stomach. She lifted up her dress and said, "Okay baby. You and your daddy need to have a talk. You need to stop making your mommy crazy. We love her, don't we? You don't want to make mommy sad if you love her, do you? When mommy is sad, daddy is sad, too. We need to stop all of this sadness. I just want you to remember that you are always going to have daddy. Now if we have to have another conversation like this one, you are going to be grounded as soon as you get out of there."

Lea started laughing. She took Cory's hand and laid it on her stomach while she looked into her eyes. Then Cory jumped back and said, "What was that?"

Lea giggled. "That was your fetus you were just talking to, silly."

"I thought you said I wouldn't be able to feel them for another couple of weeks."

"I guess after that conversation you just had they wanted to make sure that you knew that they heard what you said. Isn't it awesome?"

Cory had tears in his eyes again. "Gosh, I getting sappy. My mom was right when she said I was being a softy."

Lea smiled. "Cor, it's our first baby. Everyone gets sappy with their first baby. It just shows how great of a dad you are going to be. I can't wait to see you tell the cast. I know you are going to be beaming. I just want to tell the world."

Cory held her tight. "I need to get ready for our big day. The guys are waiting for us."

Cory and Lea walked into the restaurant they were meeting the guys at.

Cory said, "Hey guys."

All the guys said hello.

Lea beamed and said, "Hi guys. It is so nice to see all of you again."

Justin said, "Lea sit down and tell us all the embarrassing things about Cory you can. We love to hear his mess ups."

Lea laughed. "Well, I can't think of anything really embarrassing to tell you. He is the best husband a girl could ever want. He takes such good care of me. I woke up this morning so much happier than I have ever been."

Seth asked, "You are talking about our Cory, right?"

Lea laughed. Cory took her hand and said, "Hey! I can be an alright guy. Things are going to change when I become a dad. They are already starting and I can't say that I am really upset about it. I can't wait to be a dad."

Josh asked, "How far along are you?"

Lea rested a hand on top of the hand Cory had placed on her stomach. She told the guys, "I am three and a half months. I am due at the end of December or the beginning of January."

Jacob asked, "Why haven't we seen the two of you on the front of every tabloid? The two of you are like the most attractive couple I have ever seen. I would have thought that the press would be all over it."

Lea told them, "Cory and I have had to keep our relationship and marriage a secret because of the show. Our producer had a big thing about dating coworkers. The two of us just clicked. We fell in love not long after we started working together. All of the scenes we did were real. We did all kinds of interviews together. The more time together we spent, the closer we got. One interview we did we were joking about our save the dates. We are actually planning on using those pictures as our wedding announcement when we can actually tell people. We are going to have to tell our producer next month when we go back to filming. I have to prepare for the possibility that I may lose my job because of it."

Justin said, "You could lose your job for falling in love?"

Cory told him, "Ryan is a serious guy. He didn't want anything to get in the way of the ratings of the show. Our relationship could really mess things up."

"I think that is ridiculous. I have watched the two of you on the show and you have so much chemistry. I would think that your real life story would make them watch the show and see a true life love."

Cory laughed. "I'm not the only one who is getting soft."

Lea said, "You guys are just as awesome as Cory said you were. I hope we get to spend more time together. I don't know how much traveling I will get to do later on in the pregnancy."

Cory squeezed her and said, "That means I don't know how much traveling I will get to do later on in her pregnancy either."

Josh said, "That just means we will have to set up gigs in California. The two of you will still be close to home if you need to be."

Lea smiled and said, "I can't let you do that."

Justin told her, "We are all like family. We will do anything to stick together. We don't replace anyone."

"So it just looks like our baby will have four more uncles. I really can't wait to get to know you guys even better."

They spent the rest of the afternoon getting to know each other before the guys had to go to rehearsal before their next gig.

Lea sat down at one of the tables. Cory gave her a kiss and said, "If you need anything let me know. Call Dianna. I know you have wanted to all day."

Lea smiled. "You know me so well. Go practice. I will be fine. You have nothing to worry about. Fetus and I are okay. I may go out in the lobby and get something to drink though."

"Let me get it for you."

"No. I'll be fine. Nothing is going to happen to me or fetus if I walk a hundred feet to a vending machine."

"Okay. I love you. We'll be done in a half an hour or so."

"I love you too, babe."

Lea gave him a hug and watched him walk away.

Lea picked up her cell phone and called Dianna. Dianna answered, "Hey girl. How are you doing? I haven't talked to you in a couple of days. I was getting ready to call and make sure Canada didn't do something to you."

Lea laughed. "I'm fine and so is your godfetus. Cory and I felt them move a little for the first time this morning. We got in a fight too."

"What did you fight over?"

"He wouldn't let me have my coffee."

Dianna laughed. "He has a point. You drank too much coffee before you were pregnant anyway. We'll have to get you addicted to something else. Try vitamin water or Fuse."

"I guess you are right. It is just so real. We have an appointment the day after we get back from Canada. Then the next day we get to tell Ryan and see where our career is going to go from there."

"I'm telling you that you have nothing to worry about. Ryan loves both of you. This show is nothing without either of you."

"I hope he feels the same way. Okay, momma wants to know what is going on with you and Mark. I hope it is nothing that is going to be messed up because as of right now it is going to be you and Mark or you and Jon as godparents. I don't want things to be awkward for the baby."

Dianna laughed. "Mark and I have been going on dates. You have nothing to worry about. If we don't work out you know we will still be there for my godfetus. Mark is just as excited about your baby as I am. I made him go baby shopping with me last night. He picked out some really cute stuff. You will be proud. He thinks you are having a girl so that is what he bought."

Lea smiled. "That is cute. Cory and I think we are having a girl, too."

Lea got up and walked out to the lobby to get a drink out of the vending machine.

Lea wasn't watching while she was still talking about the things Dianna and Mark had gotten for the baby. Lea turned around to head back to the lounge where they were rehearsing. When she turned around she saw a flash and people start coming at her.

Lea was scared for her and the baby. No one knew about her pregnancy or marriage.

Reporters were everywhere. She heard one ask, "Are you here to see Cory perform?"

Another came at her, "Are you and Cory in a relationship?"

Another asked, "Is it true you gave up being vegan because of Cory?"

Lea was terrified. She had never been in this situation before. She squealed and shut her phone. She ran up to her room. She didn't want to lead them to Cory to make them question him. He had enough on his plate with the gig tonight.

Lea managed to make it up to her room. She shut the door quickly and went to the bed. She threw herself down on the bed and held her stomach as if her life depended on it.
