Hey guys sorry for the extremely late update I got sick again right after Christmas and I was trying to get this chapter up before the New Years, but it didn't make it. I want to thank those who are still reading I hope you enjoy this chapter!
Chapter 20 New Year Surprise
(Bonnie 6 months 26 weeks)
Bonnie wakes up with a yawn she smiles her baby is up and active sending her a good morning kick. It's New Year's Eve. And boy did that one hurt. She turns hoping to find Enzo right beside her, but his spot is cold. She sits up and finds a note on her nightstand. She picks it up and opens the envelope with Enzo's perfect handwriting.
Good morning, love. I apologize for not being here when you woke up I would have loved to stay in bed with you just to hold a bit longer. I have some errands that need to be taken care of and I can't put them off any longer. I will be sending Caroline over to keep you company until I get back. I love you both please go get something to eat I shall be back later this evening.
Bonnie smiles she places the note back where it was and gets up grabs some clothes (one of Enzo's shirts a lace thong and some shorts) then goes to the bathroom to take a bath. When the water is just right she shreds her clothes and gets in she sighs. Once she finishes she grabs her phone taking the stairs on at a time. James is waiting for her, "Good morning." He says. Bonnie smiles, "Good morning and Happy New Year." James smiles he takes her to the living room. Bonnie looks confused. "Mr. St. John wanted you to eat in comfort." Bonnie nods she goes and sits on his very comfy couch. Soon a tray of food and drink comes in she grabs a plate getting fruit, a blueberry muffin, some yogurt and a glass orange juice. She eats in comfortable silence when she's done the staff take the tray away. She checks her phone to see that she had a missed call from Caroline.
Before she can even return her call the doorbell rings. James goes to answer it. "Miss Bennett, Miss Forbes has arrived." Bonnie starts to get up. "No, Bonnie don't get up I'll come to you." Bonnie gets up anyway. Caroline sighs, "Care, it's not like I can't get up, wait till I'm eight months to start worrying about that." Her best friend shakes her head. "Bon,you're my best friend it's my job. Even more now that your pregnant." Bonnie sighs and slowly sits back on the couch. Bonnie grabs the remote turning on the TV. "Aren't you glad you passed this semester Bon?" Caroline asks without looking away from the television. Bonnie nods, "Yeah even though I misses most of my dance class my Professor was really nice and gave me an A because how much of a dedicated dancer I was." Caroline looks at her and smiles Bonnie smiles back. It's almost lunch time when Bonnie calls for James.
"Yes, Miss Bennett?" He asks. "I need something to eat can you get the staff to prepare me a chicken sandwich with lots of pickles and a thing of mint ice cream. Caroline just wants a Caesar salad." James bows, "Of course madam." He starts to walk away Caroline jumps up, "Make sure her chicken is fresh I don't want her getting sick." James smiles, "I'll make sure the chefs know that." He leaves Caroline sits back down. "So when does Enzo come back?" Bonnie shrugs, "I don't know he didn't leave a time on the note he left me this morning." Caroline nods. They watch the program in silence then Caroline asks, "So have you thought of any baby names?" Bonnie shakes her head. "No, I haven't not yet. I should get on that before he/she comes huh?" Caroline turns her head to her with a smile nodding. "So are you going to take any classes next year or do you want to take a semester off?"
"I applied for 18 credit hours with my classes all online so I can take care of the little one." Bonnie says. "That's cool Bon, but you know that Enzo will be out after next semester and he won't have anything else to do." Bonnie looks up imaging what Enzo would look like changing a diaper she giggles. The doors open and James brings in a tray with their food and drinks that they can choose from. "This looks delicious thank you, James." Bonnie says. "Your welcome Miss Bennett, enjoy." He leaves closing the door behind him. Caroline burst out laughing. "Look at you Bonnie all prim and proper, how do you stand that?" Bonnie grabs her plate with her sandwich loaded with chicken and pickles. "You know I asked Enzo the same thing, he's fine with it because it's how he was brought up. And it really doesn't bother me that much anymore." Caroline gets her plate shaking her head and they both dig into their meals and decide to watch a movie.
"Avengers is good go back." Caroline says. Bonnie goes back and they watch it laughing at the parts that were funny, gushing over Thor and Hulk then, laughing at Loki's defeat and Hulk slapping him around.(A/N: Because who didn't laugh at that part? Continuing.) They eat all their food and Caroline sits on the floor next to Bonnie as they watch the sequel and eat mint ice cream. They finish the ice cream before it's over. Caroline looks at her phone. "Wow, I've been here for five hours, but I'm glad that I get to see you. How about we make a plan to go get some baby clothes?" Bonnie smiles, "That would be great, you should probably get back home to Tyler." Caroline stands taking the empty ice box with her. Bonnie stands up slowly she needed to get up. She turns off the TV when Caroline comes back. "So I'll call you and you know when my next available day is." Bonnie nods giving her a hug. "That would be great." Caroline smiles.
James comes in, "I'm here to escort Miss Forbes to her car." Bonnie nods. "I'll see you soon Bon." She leaves with James. Bonnie grabs her phone off the couch. He hasn't called me all day where could he be? Bonnie waits until James comes back in to ask,"James, where is Lorenzo?" James looks down, "I'm sorry Miss Bennett, but he left before I could get the staff to make breakfast for him." Bonnie nods, "James I'm sorry I didn't mean to snap at you." James smiles softly, "It's alright." Bonnie smiles, "Your dismissed for the rest of the night." James stays, "I'll leave once he arrives. Should I have the staff prepare dinner?" Bonnie nods, "Yes and could it be pasta with some veggies and on the side some peanut butter and lots of it. And can I get some apple juice as well?" James nods, "Cernintly madam." He turns towards the kitchen. "I'll be upstairs."
Bonnie slowly walks up the stairs and though she's hasn't been on her feet as much today they start to swell. Bonnie changes out of her clothes from earlier into one of Enzo's shirts, a pair of lace panties and some shorts. She climbs into bed getting the book off her nightstand. She turns to the last chapter she was on and reads. Twenty minutes later she hears the front door open and close. She rolls her eyes and continues to read. She hears him coming up the stairs. Bonnie does not acknowledge him when he enters their bedroom nor when he comes over and starts kissing and sucking her neck trying to remove the book from her hands.
"Mmm, I missed you." He murmurs against her neck. Bonnie pulls away from him fuming. Hormones or not I don't care he can't just expect me to be okay with this! "Love, what's wrong?" Enzo asks as he place a hand on her shoulder she shrugs it off, "Where the hell have you been?!" Enzo looks at her shocked by her outburst. "Bonnie-" She cut's him off. "You know what I was worried sick about you a few hours I can handle, but the whole fucking day you didn't think to call or even send a text?!" Enzo rubs his temples. "Bonnie I'm sorry, really. I am. I didn't think that what I had planned for this evening would take me the whole day. I don't want to cause you any stress." Bonnie crosses her arms over her chest mumbling, "A little late too for that." Enzo pulls her to his chest placing his hands on her stomach. "I don't want you to be. I hope that you will allow me the chance to make it up to you. I don't think I could bare the thought of you resenting me." Bonnie stays quiet.
"You better make it worth it, I don't want to go through this again." Enzo turns her face towards his and kisses her passionately Bonnie sighs into the kiss all her insides warming up no longer cold. She pulls away. "You better get started, it'll be midnight in three and half hours." Enzo kisses her once more then pulls back, "That's more than enough time." He gets up and grabs a blindfold. "But, you'll have to put this on, love. I can't have you seeing anything just yet." Bonnie rolls her eyes, but takes the blindfold placing it over her eyes tying it tight. She hears him leave the room she shakes her head and lays down on the bed. She hears him moving around the room she lifts a hand to the blindfold, but Enzo catches her hand before she could reach it. She huffed and he chuckled. Bonnie hears him moving in and out of the room. It feels like she's been lying there for an hour.
Bonnie doesn't hear anything from him for a short while she asks, "Can I take this thing off now?" She hears him move but she not sure where until she feels his weight on the bed. He removes it Bonnie opens her eyes slowly. He eyes first lock on the clock it reads 10:45. Bonnie then looks around their room. She sees lights hung on the walls, the windows, and the door. She notices that his table and chair set have been moved to the center of the room she also notices the candles he lit in room. Bonnie can't hold back her tears. She wipes them away giving Enzo a small smile. Knock! Knock! "Come in James." His Butler does bringing a tray with two dishes that are covered he places them on either side before leaving closing the door behind him. Enzo holds his hand out to her she takes it and he walks her over to her chair he pulls it out and once she seated he gently pushed it in. He removed the cover from her food then his before taking his seat. Bonnie looks at her veggies and pasta and peanut butter. She quickly dug into her meal she was not phased when she heard Enzo chuckle.
Bonnie slows down a bit she takes a few sips of her apple juice then says, "You never told me where you were or what you were doing." Enzo stops eating, "You'll find out in due time, love I promise." Bonnie raises a brow, but continues to eat. Once they've finished Enzo takes their plates downstairs Bonnie stays seated in the chair feeling her baby kick. She smiled rubbing her stomach. Enzo comes back a few minutes later, but stays by the door. "The real reason I was out all day was because I wanted to make this night special for us, not that many jewelers where open today so it delayed me quite a but, but I was finally able to get it just right for you." Bonnie looks up at him tears running down her cheeks. "Enzo." He places a hand out to stop her. He walks towards her and gets on one knee. Revealing a box with a big diamond with two smaller ones on the side with four more tiny diamonds on the sides with a silver band. Bonnie's eyes widen, but she can't stop crying.
"I was given this by James he said it was my mother's and her mother's before her. It wasn't in the best of shape so I paid to have it remade the exact way it looked in the photos that I have of my mother. He gave me a note as well, it read give this to the woman who you wish to share your life with forever. At first I thought that was Maggie, but what she and I had was one-sided it was all me not the both of us. And with you I feel like I can breathe again, you are my light in the darkness." He pauses for a second. He takes her hand in his removing the ring from the box. "Bonnie Lucinda Bennett will you be the other half of my heart, my partner, my love forever? Will you marry me?" Bonnie smiles down at him through her tears, "Enzo, I ah!"
She clutches her stomach falling out of the chair Enzo catches her. "Bonnie!" She hears him yell before everything goes dark.
