Thanks to the five people who left me reviews, they do mean a lot and here is the next chapter. I've only got one more prepared chapter. I've decided to add in a bit more of the story so I'm going write them and then add the other written chapters in.

Laura

Chapter Twenty Five

Closing the document down, Aurora stretched her back as she looked at the time on the computer screen. It had just turned five o'clock and she was more than ready for home. Home meant her first proper date with Michael and she was more than excited about it. Now the police had given them to all clear, she was looking forward to going out to a restaurant, having dinner in their hometown then coming home. She had spent her dinner hour, or part of it, searching through the net. In the next few days, her dad's billions were going to be released to her and she was going to do some serious pampering. She was even going to talk to Michael about them maybe getting a dog.

Right now all they had was the pregnancy and she always wanted one. Closing the laptop, she pulled her laptop bag up and placed the laptop into the case, before she pressed her intercom and told Heidi to get her car brought around. Levi had wanted her to be picked up and dropped off for this first week at least, and she agreed. Tonight she wanted her new driver and Head of Security, Chester, to drive her and Michael. She knew he probably wouldn't even think of drinking with his first day tomorrow.

Checking the office over, and she absolutely loved it but she did plan on making some changes to suit her style. The floor would stay as she liked the light wooden colour, but the white furniture would go. She was going to contact the CEO of the Interior Design branch of Garcia Enterprise. The business had bought a interior design company six months ago. Aurora was meeting the CEO Henrietta tomorrow, and she was looking forward to it. Locking the office door, she saw Heidi busy typing away at her laptop.

"Finish that and get home, Heidi, and I will see you in the morning," she told her PA, who nodded. "Thank you for working hard today, Heidi, and I hope we will become friends."

The PA just nodded and Aurora headed over to the lift and stepped inside. As she waited for the lift to reach the ground floor, she couldn't believe how much her life had changed. She had gone from being a single, grieving teenager, to being a partner, a future mother and CEO of a large and powerful organisation. It made her head spin but she wouldn't change it for the world.

She loved Michael so much and she wanted to spend the rest of her life with him. She knew that after just a month together she couldn't imagine being with anyone else. If he asked her to marry him, she'd say yes on the spot. She was that certain they were meant to be together. The baby didn't alter that. The lift came to a halt and she stepped out, heading into the direction of her waiting car. She was going to get home, quickly shower and pile her hair up on top of her head. Seeing her driver, Chester, awaiting for her as she reached the car, she smiled at him and climbed inside.

Aurora had discovered, that one of the many perks of was being driven around and she was going to take advantage of that, but once the media interest had died down, she was going to start driving herself. Right now she felt more comfortable with Chester driving her, beside Michael and Levi wouldn't allow it. The journey home took twenty minutes and before she knew it she walked into the house. She dropped her keys into the basket, kicked off her shoes and ran upstairs, shouting Michael's name. She found him sat half-naked on their bed, on the phone.

"Lorraine, I've got to go, I'll speak to you tomorrow. Aurora's home," he told his boss before hanging up. Standing up, he walked over to her and slipped his arms around her waist before he kissed her passionately. "Ready for our date night?"

"More than ready, baby. Ready to show the world we're not ashamed of our relationship," she replied kissing him again. "I'm going to have a shower then change. What time are we booked into the restaurant?"

"Eight o'clock."

Aurora nodded and headed into the bathroom. Quickly she pulled her hair into a ponytail and stepped into the shower. Half an hour later she walked into living room to find Michael sat waiting for her. The minute he heard her shoes on the kitchen floor, he turned around and a smile spread across his face.

"You look beautiful, Miss Garcia," he told her, as he walked over to her. She was wearing a red, halter neck, knee length dress, which had a key-hole detail above her cleavage. Aurora had just added a simple red bracelet and a pair of sliver shoes with her hair straightened, and light make up.

"Thank you," Aurora whispered.

Michael looked handsome in a light blue shirt, black trousers and black shoes. He kissed her before leading her out of the house and down to where Chester and Lloyd were waiting for them. Aurora climbed into the vehicle first and she saw a bunch of red roses waiting for her. Grinning she turned to look at Michael.

"They're gorgeous, thank you."

"You deserve them. You're going to be an amazing CEO and I know you're going to do amazing things," he told her. "I'm proud of you, baby."

Aurora smiled and reached over to claim his lips in a sweet, tender kiss. They didn't say much on the journey to the restaurant and Aurora didn't have a clue where they were going. Eventually the car came to a halt outside Greenock's newest restaurant, Arielle, which had been opened by a Scottish chef, George Davidson. Aurora eyes lit up and she loved this place and wanted to visit for a while. She had attended the opening of the restaurant the weekend she had left Waterloo Road. George was a world-renown chef who had two Michelin stars.

"Arielle?"

"Yes," Michael said as the valet opened the door, before she stepped out of the car.

Michael followed seconds later and instantly took her hand in his, before they headed inside the restaurant. They stepped inside and were greeted by the maître'd, who after Michael give the reservation surname they were led to the back of the restaurant. A table for two had been set with non-alcoholic champagne awaiting for them. The table had been beautifully decorated with a white table cloth, glasses for wine and water along with small bowl which had floating candles, giving off a vanilla scent. It was heavenly.

"Non-alcoholic champagne?" she asked, raising her eyebrows, as she sat down.

"My baby deserves the best," Michael said, as the maître'd opened the bottle of champagne and poured a little in Aurora's glass. She took a sip before nodding for her glass to be filled. They were then left alone.

"You're really spoiling me tonight," she said, her eyes sparkling.

"You deserve to be, I like spoiling you, Aura, and you're the mother of my unborn child. I love you."

"I love you, too. Are you nervous about tomorrow?" Aurora asked, as she took a piece of the bread in front of them and dipped it into some balsamic vinegar.

"For the first time ever yes, we, and we can't deny it, is so unprofessional and I need my staff to believe in me. I need them to have faith in my leadership. I don't regret our relationship and I never will," he told her. "I guess I will find out tomorrow when I address my staff. How was your first day?"

"Tough but amazing; mam left the business in quiet good shape. I have the support of the executive management team; having their support will make my life easier. There are also some projects I want to start on including Aquila Cruises new ship. I might have fly to Barbados in a few weeks to sign off the ship before it makes it maiden journey to England. I've decided to do the launch in Greenock and holding a grand party," she told him, looking at her menu. She had already decided on the tomato and basil soup for starters, margherita pizza for main then maybe tiramisu.

"Does that mean a tux?" Michael asked.

"Yes it does, you're going to be there as my boyfriend and full on display. Welcome to my life."

"I am getting used to it, but what's this about Barbados?"

"It's a business trip I will be taking with Heidi and Hayden, the COO of Aquila Cruises. I've known him since I was a baby and he's one of my godfathers. I need to go out there to do a check of the cruise liner; it's part of a new class of cruise liners we're doing and I want to make sure it's perfect. But enough about work," Aurora said, as she rubbed her finger over his hand.

Michael smiled and conversation changed to other subjects. On Wednesday Aurora finally had doctor's appointment where she hoped to get the pregnancy confirmed. She couldn't wait to hear her unborn child's heartbeat because that would make her pregnancy more real. She was still suffering from the morning sickness but she hoped it would pass in time. She certainly didn't want to be sick every morning for the rest of her pregnancy. This was such a special time in their lives.

"What do you want to do this weekend?" asked Michael, tucking into his starter of mozzarella and fig salad.

"Chill and maybe we can go and catch a movie? I really want to see The Dark Knight Rises," she told him, just as a waiter arrived and took away their starter plates.

"You want to go and see an action film?" asked Michael.

"Yes why not? I like action films and besides I want to see what all the fuss around," she replied, just as the pizzas arrived.

"Nice?"

"Mmmm…." she said with a massive smile on her face.

It was half an hour later the lovebirds got the bill sorted and headed outside. The valet instantly went around to the side car park and moments later their Mercedes arrived. Chester opened the door of the car and Aurora stepped in first. She kicked off her shoes, and curled them up underneath her as she snuggled in Michael.

"I can't wait to get you home," he whispered into her ear.

"Mmm….me neither."
