Chapter 36

Thank you so much for all your support. I love you guys to pieces!

Phoebe POV

I can't go to my parent's because that is the first place that Jay will look for me. I can't go to Escala because Teddy will want to know what is going on, and I as much as I hate my husband right now I don't want my big brother or father murdering him. I text Lexie,

"Hey Lexie, Can I please stay with you for a couple days? Jay and I are having some problems and I just need some time away without my family hovering" P*

Lexie text back a minute later, "Of course sweetie, hope everything gets worked out, you are welcome to stay as long as you need. I have plenty of room." L*

Jay keeps on calling my cell phone and I just keep hitting ignore. I know I will need to talk to him about this to hear his side of the story but right now isn't that time. Right now I just want to hit something or someone.

I text my entire family to let them know that dinner is called off for tonight. My mom and dad have been trying to call but I can't possible talk to them right now.

Christie calls me, "Hey Pheebs, why did you cancel? Is everything okay?"

"I don't want to talk about it tonight. Come see me at Lexie's tomorrow and we will talk about it. Please don't tell mom and dad. I don't want dad or Teddy to kill Jay."

"Did he hit you?!"

"No!"

"Then why would dad or Teddy kill him?"

"I can't do this right now. I feel sick about this. I will just say that he slept with someone else before we got married. While we were together. Around the time he had his drinking problem."

"OMG! I can't believe Jay would do that! He loves you more than anything Pheebs."

"It's a reliable source Christie! I don't want to talk about it right now! Come over tomorrow please. I'm going to take a hot bath and try to rest. Don't tell anyone I'm over here okay?"

"Fine sister, I'm so so sorry. Do you want me to stay with you tonight? I don't want you to be alone."

I don't say anything and Christie says, "I'm on my way. I will bring ice cream, lots of it."

"Please bring some chocolate ice cream with brownies in it."

She laughs, "You got it."

The following day…..

Lexie POV

Teddy slept at the hospital with me last night and it felt amazing to be able to sleep in his big strong arms again. I've missed being with him so much, in every way. In the morning before the doctor comes in to release me I confess, "Babe, I wasn't here because I had the flu. It was because I wasn't eating or drinking the days we fought and I got dehydrated and malnourished. I didn't want you to get even angrier at me so I told a little white lie."

He kisses my forehead, "Baby you can't do that again. You need to promise to take care of yourself. I know it is hard when we fight because I had trouble eating too. I love you Lexie so damn much."

"I love you more Theo." He shakes his head playfully and I giggle as he starts tickling me.

"Tonight I have planned a romantic dinner for just the two of us. We are going to blow off Phoebe's little dinner tonight." He says smiling.

"Babe, I think that dinner got cancelled anyways." I state wishing I would have shut my big mouth because he is going to wonder why and I remember Phoebe saying she didn't want her family hounding her.

"Oh I didn't get the message." He says and I'm glad he doesn't ask anything else about it.

I finally get released from the hospital and we head back to my place to I can choose something nice to wear for our hot date tonight.

When we walk into the main room I can't believe my eyes, I know Michael was moving things in this week but NATE is in the living room with him. Why? What the hell? When Teddy comes in he is going to lose it. Good thing his father had called to talk about work and I might have some time to figure out what the hell is happening before he goes thermonuclear. Today I was going to tell him about the baby but I'm not sure that is a great idea now. I know he is going to flip out about Nate being here.

I ask, "Hey what's up?"

Nate smiles, "Good to see you too Lex."

I feel him approach and I feel nauseous.

Michael looks at me apologetically, "Nate stopped by to catch up real quick, I had no idea you would be back so soon. I thought you'd be at Theo's."

Nate being the nice guy he is smiles at Teddy and gets up to shake his hand. Teddy shakes his hand reluctantly. I can see the questions and anger in his darkened gray eyes. God I hope this doesn't turn into another huge fight, we just made up and I don't know how much more fighting I can take. And now I can't put baby Grey in danger, I have to take care of myself and make sure I don't stress too much.

After that awkward mess is over with Teddy and I head into my room.

He closes the door and lets it fly, "What the fuck was that? Your ex-boyfriend at your place?"

"Babe I had no idea he would be here, you heard what Michael said."

"Why is Michael even here to begin with?" Oh shit I was never able to talk to him about this because we had been fighting.

"Well Michael is moving to Seattle and I told him he could stay with me until he gets his own place."

Now he is furious, "What?!"

He continues, "You made that decision without even talking to me?"

"We aren't married, you don't live here Theo and he is like my BROTHER. I wouldn't tell you not to let Christie or Phoebe move in with you!'

"Big fucking difference is that he is not really your brother! You aren't living with another man."

"I'm not fighting with you about stupid shit Theodore; I will stay with you then!"

He picks me up kissing my lips fiercely. Biting on my bottom lip, I moan. "Oh I've missed this."

My back is up against the wall and my legs are wrapped around his waist. He carries me to the bathroom inside my bedroom placing me on the counter there. He is quickly pulling off my pants and underwear not even bothering to take off my shirt or bra. I see him spring himself free from his boxers after taking off his jeans. He enters me fast and hard. I squeal at the contact. He puts his hand over my mouth, no doubt because he doesn't want Nate and Michael to hear my moans. He groans, "ohhh baby I've missed you so much." as he continues to pump in me fast and hard. I whimper getting lost in our passionate exchange. Still inside of me he picks me up carrying me to the bed. He lays me down slowly. His lips are on mine as we continue making love. We spend the rest of the day in bed making love over and over again until we fall asleep in each other's arms.

It is after 6 and Teddy spanks my bottom, "Baby get out of bed remember I have our romantic dinner planned for us tonight."

Theo POV

I really hope that Lexie will enjoy the romantic dinner I planned for her. I know I need to calm down and treat her better; I shouldn't be so short with her. Sometimes she just drives me crazy. I overreacted today about Michael staying with her but I can't stand the thought of her living with another man when she wouldn't agree to live with me when I brought it up. When she said she would stay with me it put my fears and resentment at ease. I know she loves me but damn sometimes she has a funny way of showing it. We are both dressed up for our romantic dinner.

We are about to exit the room and head back to the front of her house. My chest is already puffed out as I'm preparing to face Nate, if he is still here. When there is no sign of him I feel a sense of relief. I do see my sisters Phoebe and Christie talking.

I ask, "Hey what are you guys doing here?"

Phoebe ponders what she is going to say and Christie butts in, "She came to hang out with me."

"And why are you here?"

Christie rolls her eyes, "Because my boyfriend lives here and I wanted to see him."

"Fuck, don't tell me John's living here too."

Christie laughs, "I thought you knew that John and I broke up, I'm with Michael now."

I shake my head, "Wow." Is all can manage to say on that topic.

"What Teddy?" She asks annoyed.

"Well I just think you are moving on kind of fast, it wasn't that long you were crying over John and now you have another boyfriend like nothing."

"It happens, I was shocked by it too but I'm not going to worry about how it looks and do what makes me happy and Michael makes me very very happy." She defends her relationship.

"I wasn't saying anything bad, I just don't want to see you get hurt. Michael seems like a decent guy."

"He treats me better than you treat Lexie." She blurts out and immediately I can tell she feels guilty. "Look Teddy I didn't mean that badly, it's just sometimes you can be kind of harsh to her."

Lexie sticks up for me, "Teddy treats me very well, like every couple we have our fights but him and I are both stubborn and have tempers so at times it can be intense but we always work everything out.. "

I pull her closer to me and kiss her temple.

"Let's go, you look gorgeous baby."

When we get to APEX Lexie asks, "We are having dinner at your night club babe?"

"Yes, it isn't open right now and I thought it would be fun."

We head inside and I think Clark and Wilson did a terrific job. There is a table lit with candles in the middle of the dance floor. There are white and red roses filled throughout the whole place.

Lexie gasps, "Baby this is so gorgeous." she squeals almost about to cry.

She kisses my lips, "I'm sorry for everything that happened with our fight the other day. I wanted to make it up to you."

She giggles, "I thought you did plenty of that this afternoon." She states suggestively.

We sit and the waiter comes over bring our champagne I ordered for us.

The dinner was delicious but I can't help but notice she hasn't touched her champagne. "Did you not like it baby?" I ask looking at her glass.

"It's fine Theo."

I am glad she did eat all her Shrimp Alfredo pasta, which I ordered because it is one of her favorites. We feed each other dessert. I ask her, "Will you dance with me?"

She laughs, "There isn't any music."

I take her hand and lead her to the very place on the dance floor where we first met, where we first danced with each other. The musician I paid heftily should be out very soon to start the song. She doesn't even notice him appear on stage but turns her head to the stage when she hears him playing the piano. She puts her hand over her mouth as John Legend begins to sing "All of me". I knew when I heard this song I had to have him sing it here, tonight for this event.

While he continues the song Lexie is in aww and I get down on one knee opening the box containing he custom engagement ring, "Alexandria Marie Sharp, since the moment I met you on this dance floor I've never been the same. I fell completely and madly in love with you. Life before you was empty; I want to spend the rest of my life with you. You are the missing piece I waited my whole to find. Please do me the honor of becoming my wife?"

She leaps into my arms kissing me fervently, "Yes Theo!" she cries and I pick her up swinging her around. I slip the ring on her finger and we continue to slow dance to this beautiful song.
