Manny went down stairs to talk to Craig.
"Craig, I have something to tell you," she said.
"Okay, what?" he said.
"I'm pregnant."
He looked shocked. "Wow," he said.
Manny was scared. She didn't know if this was a good thing or a bad thing.
"That's great," he said, throwing his arms around her.
"Are you sure?" she asked.
"Yeah, why wouldn't it be?" he pulled away.
"Well, I mean, with you losing your temper the way you did earlier, I just think you need...counseling or something."
"I'm sorry, it was the booze. It wasn't me. You know I would never hurt you on purpose," he said.
"I know," she answered slowly.

Spinner left angry. But that was just too bad; he did this, not me. He was the one who cheated on me and he was the one who kept it a secret. So he was the one who tore our family apart. I sighed and went to bed.

Paige opened the door to her mansion. She smiled and went to the kitchen. "Rose," she said to the main maid. "Could you serve me dinner in my room tonight? I'm really tired and Jason has had to fly to Paris."
"Yes, Mrs. Steele. Dinner will be served at six o'clock in your room. What would you like?"
"Whatever you had planned is fine, you know me. I can never make up my mind," Paige said, retreating to her room.
The bedroom was lavish, done in white with gold trim. There was an enormous vanity that was made of solid gold, with tons and tons of make-up neatly organized on it. the huge walk-in closet housed many, many fancy clothes in which Paige wore to the parties her and husband often attended.
She lay down on her canopy bed, happy that it was hers. Of course her husbands' room was separate; the masculine Jason Steele would never approve of sleeping in such a feminine room.
She turned on the television, but couldn't find anything to watch. She settled on a soap opera. "Ah, this is the life," she said.
Just then, the phone next to her rang. "Hello," she answered.
"Hey, Paige, it's me," the voice from the other line said.
"Who?"
"Spinner," he said. "I need you now."
"Spinner, I thought we had things settled. We weren't going to see each other again."
"Emma left me, she found out about my affair. I need you."
"Why do you need me?" she asked.
"Because I could always talk to you."
"So talk," she said.
"It's not the same. I need to see you, to be with you."
"Spinner, I'm married."
"Since when has that ever made a difference? You know he doesn't treat you the way you deserve. When was the last time you had a meal together? I bet it was a long time ago, right?"
he was right. "Yeah, it was."
"So you'll come? I'm in Canada."
"Canada? You know I don't want to go back there."
"For me, please?"
"Fine, I'll get on the Steele Jet and I'll be there as soon as I can."

Sorry for the short chapter, but I'm going to go spend time with my family. My 1 and a half year old cousin is staying the night and she's begging for my attention. LOL. I hope you enjoyed it, I will write more soon.
