Elliot's POV

After Mia left I finally able to focus on some work. I call a few of my contractors to see how our latest projects are going. Right now we are building a new hospital wing to be added to Seattle Hospital, 3 new restaurants (two of which are in San Francisco). Speaking of I am going to have fly down there soon to make sure everything is one schedule. Wait! That's it! I can make a reservation for me and Kate at a hotel and fly us down there this weekend. Not only will I get to surprise but I'll also be able to get a little work done and not to mention the security company is supposed to install the updated security this weekend as well. So when you think about it, it's a win win win situation. I am broken out of my thoughts by my assistant's voice on the phone. "Mr. Grey your 12 o'clock appointment has arrived." "Thanks Gabby please let them in." A few seconds later in walks Christian, Taylor, and another man around the age of 26 walk in. I stand to greet them, "Hello gentlemen glad you all can make it." "Hello Elliot you already know Taylor and this man next to him is Lincoln Evans," Christian says nodding towards Lincoln. "Hello Mr. Grey Nice to meet you," Lincoln extends his hand out for me to shake it. "Likewise, please everyone have a sit." I go back to sit behind my desk and take out the information Christian had sent faxed over earlier in the day. "So Mr. Evans it says here that you were a Navy Seal for 6 years."

"Yes sir that is correct. I joined right after I graduated high school." He says in a monotone not looking the least bit nervous. "I see and your recommendations are very impressive, it also says here you were born and raised in Seattle as well." "Yes sir I know this city like the back of my hand there is not a place in this city that I do not know of." I smirk because I know how Kate likes to explore new places around the city on her days off. "Okay good. Now I assume my brother and Taylor have told you the details of your position." He nods and says, "Yes. I am to watch and guard over Ms. Kavanaugh, but at safe distance to make sure she does not notice I am there. I am also aware that Miss Barb is not allowed anywhere near her"

We go talk for about 30 minutes more about Lincoln's background and family. It turns out that he always has a degree in cyber security and is very close to his parents and five siblings. I am very impressed I did not think I would like this guy this much. If you didn't like him he would have been gone in the first five minutes of the interview. I think to myself. "Well Mr. Evans your resume is quite impressive and if Taylor is willing to vouch for you then you must be amazing at what you do. How soon can you start?" "If it is okay with you sir I promised my baby sister that I would hang out with her before her school break was over. I can start first thing Monday." "I actually plan to take Kate down to San Francisco this weekend so that works out perfectly." Christian instantly perks up when he hears my plan for the weekend. "Thank you for coming in today Lincoln and I will definitely email you the rest of the information over the course of the weekend. Gabby will show you out and have a good day." With that Lincoln stands and shakes my hand, "Thank you Mr. Grey you as well."

After Lincoln leaves my office Christian turns to look at me with a smirk. "So… San Francisco huh?" I look over at Taylor who is quite amused at the situation as well. "You know El," Christian say while pouring him a glass of water, "all of this could have been avoided if you would have just went into your office like I originally told you." I groan inwardly, he's right but I didn't think Kate would have been ready as fast as she was either. "Look I know fucked up, but I have to do something guys she has been under so much stress these past few weeks and now on top of it all she thinks I'm cheating. Come on guys hasn't Ana or Gail been so pissed at you that you went all out to get her to forgive you." They both look away and I can tell they've been in my shoes before. I mean not in the exact situation but close enough. "You're right so what do you need from me El," Christian asks. I grin because I waiting for that question. "I'm glad you ask little brother. Can I borrow the jet?" "Done anything else?" "Yeah umm I need you to help me plan a surprise for when Kate arrives home tonight." I can tell he really doesn't want to but I need his help. "Come on bro I really messed up and I need to let Kate know that she is the only one for me. I love her so fucking much." He sighs before saying, "Alright fine I'll help. I am only doing this for Kate and my future niece or nephew. They don't have to suffer at your stupidity." Wow. I never thought Kate and Christian would ever get along let alone care for one another. "Thanks brother I knew I can count on you," I say with a small smile. "Now grab your shit men we are on a mission let's go."

With that we leave my building and start on "Operation: Make Kate forget I'm an idiot," is a go.

Kate's POV

Around 5 o'clock Mia and I decide it's time to leave since Christian will be home in 30 minutes. I honestly don't want to leave but I can't just avoid Elliot either. "I guess it's time for me to go and face the big ass elephant in my home," I say with a large sigh. Mia comes over to the side of the couch I'm sitting on and wraps in a big hug. "Don't worry Kate everything is going to work itself out. My brother can be stupid, but he would be insane to even THINK about letting you go." I smile because it feels amazing to know that I have everyone supports with this situation. "Thanks Mia it means a lot that you and Ana are here to help me through this." Ana takes that moment to chime in and says, "No problem Kit Kat. I do not need him stressing my sister and my niece or nephew." I laugh I can tell she's excited I'm going to be in the mommy club with her.

Me and Mia change back into our clothes and say our goodbyes to Ana and make out way to the elevator. We make plans to go to the bridal shop next Tuesday. I wanted to tomorrow since its Friday but apparently Ana and Christian have something to do and will be gone all weekend. On our way down it finally hits me that I am about to see Elliot since our argument this morning. I start to pace in the small area and Mia can tell I'm nervous. She grabs my arm to stop and I turn to look at her. "You. Are. Going. To. Be. Fine, "she tells me slowly. "Just breathe and stay calm okay? And keep in mind that you are caring a baby now and if you stress they will too." Mia was right as mad as I am at him right now I cannot let him stress me and potentially harm my baby. Our baby. I let my head back and sigh, trying to hold back tears. Seriously? Crying again? I've never been this emotional before, but then again I've never been pregnant either. "You're right Mia I will stay calm. But can you also tell your brother not to pull stupid shit anymore," I let out a slight chuckle. She laughs and nods. We arrive at the parking structure and get into our cars and I drive off towards my home.

…

When I arrive home I am try to remain calm. Maybe I will luck up and he'll be at the office still. I walk up to the front door and put my key into the lock but the door is already open. When I walk in my mouth literally drops open.

Oh. My. God
