Hey guys I have another chapter for you and I'm woring on another one as we speak, i'm trying to get the chapter i'm working done before sunday and hopefully I'll have a couple more chapters to post to because i may not be able to write for all of next since I'm starting a new job (thank God five months without a job sitting at home was really starting to get to me) and it's at a daycare so i'll be planning things for the kids to do and it may take a week to get back into the swing of getting up early in the morning and coming home late at night. Hopefully it won't take to long.

I just have to say thank you so much for all the reviews on the last chapter you guys must have really liked that one, i was very pleased to see all the reviews when i opened my email this afternoon. Thank you so much. Okay now that i got all of that of the way on with the chapter.

Chapter 17

"Tell them I'm the father." Was that only thing that had been on Rae's mind since Randy suggested it to her a week and half ago. Instead of answering him that night she told him to give her some time to think it over and she would give him her answer on their next movie night.

She had no idea what she was going to do, but she did know there was no way that she could tell everyone that Randy was her baby's father. She was going to meet him in less then two hours and she had no idea what she was going to tell him. On one hand she wanted to say okay and let him be the father of her baby that way Dave could stay married and not have his life turned upside down because of her again. But on the other hand she wanted to tell Randy no, that he needed to live his life and not worry about her and the baby that she would figure something out.

Rae stared out the window of the hotel suite she had been sharing with Dave for the past couple days. Dave sat watching some comedy on TV she wasn't sure what it was but by his laughing she assumed it was a comedy. Maybe I should tell Dave the truth about the baby and let him decided what to do. Rae turned her attention to Dave sitting beside her. No I can't I tell him it'll screw up everything that he has tried so hard to fix with Mel and he finally has everything the way he wants them with his family I will not screw that up again. She grabbed her water from the table and took a sip. At least I think he has everything back to normal with her, I don't really know I haven't really talked to him since we got here. Maybe I should talk to him it's not like I'm mad at him.

"How are the girls doing since I last seen them?" Rae asked quietly.

"Are you talking to me?" Rae nodded her head with a small smile. "I just wanted to make sure you haven't said more then a sentence to me since we got here."

"I know and I'm sorry about that I've just had a lot on my mind."

"Would that have anything to do with Randy?" Rae sensed some irritation in his voice.

"I guess so."

"So what is the deal with you two? Are you dating or just fucking him?"

"Excuse me." Rae turned shocked by what he just said.

"Well you leave here and go to his room around nine every night and you don't return until the wee hours of the morning to me that sounds like you are fucking him." Dave stood from the couch with his empty pop can and walked over to the little dinning area.

"I can't believe you." Rae stood from the couch following him. "You leave me when I find out I'm pregnant to go back to your wife and now that I've moved on and I'm happy with some one else you're pissed, wait you're not pissed you jealous. You're jealous because I'm not sitting here waiting for you and Mel to get into another big fight so you can come running back to me and we jump in bed together and you tell me how you're going to leave your wife to be with me." Rae stopped in front of Dave. "Well guess what I'm not going to sit around here and watch you be happy with Mel when I know and you know that you can't stand her and you want to be with me but because you have kids with her. I'm sorry that you can't be man enough and stand up for yourself to do something for yourself for once in your life but I have. I've moved on and I don't want you no more. I'm very happy with Randy happier then I have ever been with you. So I suggest that you move on." Dave grabbed Rae around the waist and pulled her hard against him and lowering his head so their lips were almost touching.

"Just how happy are you with him?" He asked his voice rough.

"Very happy," Rae pushed away from him just before he could capture her lips with his. "We're expecting a baby." She turned away and walked out of the room.

Rae leaned against the hallway wall. Oh God what have I just done. Putting a hand over her mouth she slumped down the wall and began crying. Oh God I can't believe I just that to him, I'm such an idiot. He's going to tell everyone what I just said about the baby. She wasn't sure how long she had been crying in the hall until she heard Randy laughing as he stepped in front off the elevator and headed her way. She wiped away her tears and lifted her head watching as he walked towards her with Paul and Ric. She watched as his face turned from a smile to look of shock and confusion, she laid her head back against the wall and closed her eyes.

"Hey I'll catch up to guys later on." She heard Randy say before she felt him kneeling next to her on the floor. "What happened?"

"I…um…Dave and I…" Tears started to fall again.

Randy wrapped his arms around her and helped her to her feet walking her a couple steps to his door. Once inside the suite Rae sat on the couch with Randy.

"Calm down and tell me what happened with you and Dave."

"Dave asked me what the deal was with you and me." Rae started a few minutes later. "He wanted to know if we were dating or if I was just fucking you like I did him. I told him he was just jealous because I wasn't sitting around waiting for him instead I was spending time with you and that I was finally happy again." Rae paused to wipe the tears away. "Then he grabbed me and pulled me to him and was about to kiss me. I pushed him away and told him that you and I are expecting a baby." Rae turned to Randy with tears spilling from her eyes. "I'm so sorry Randy I never meant to say that it just came out with out me even knowing."

Randy pulled her to him rubbing her back while she apologized over and over again. "Baby don't worry about it. I told last week that you could tell everyone it's my baby." Lifting her head from his chest he looked in her eyes, she was hurting more then anyone could ever know. "I'll be here for and the baby Rae. If you really want to tell everyone that this baby," he placed his hand on her belly. "is mine then I'm fine with that."

"But Randy it's not your problem it's mine. I don't want to ruin your life with my problem, I got myself into this and I should be the one to get myself out of this."

"So you're just going to raise this baby by yourself without any help from any one. Rae quit being so damn stubborn and take what I'm offering you. You won't be ruing my life; you'll be making it better. For the past, well ever since I turned fifteen I've been bouncing around from woman to woman not getting tied down with any, not wanting to lose my freedom of staying out all not and hanging with the guys after shows. Then you came along and I started to feel like something was missing." Randy cupped her face in his hands and placed a soft kiss on her lips. "You were missing."

"Are you sure that you don't mind?" Rae smiled. Randy kissed her again this time letting his lips lingering on hers. "I'll take that as a no."

Randy woke the next morning with Rae wrapped in his arms, smiling down at her he tucked some of her hair behind her ear and pressed a soft kiss on her temple, Rae stirred and her eyes fluttered open. She smiled up at him through sleepy eyes and placed her hand on top of his hand which still rested on her belly the same spot it had been when she fell asleep. After her brake down he held her telling her that everything would be okay, that he would explain things to anyone who had in questions. She knew, though, one person wouldn't want to talk to Randy but to her. Dave would have plenty of questions for her; she'd be surprised that he hadn't come banging down the door last night after she left him standing there. She knew that he still had feelings for her, she had to admit that she had feelings for him, but right now she couldn't think of anything else but the man laying beside her running his fingers through her hair, pressing soft kissing on her neck and shoulder with his other hand running lightly over her growing belly. Everything just felt so right, him holding her, the thought of telling everyone that the baby she's carrying is Randy's instead of Dave's.

"You feel okay?" He asked next to her ear before placing a kiss there.

Rae nodded turning her head towards him.

"What do you say we get up, shower and head down for breakfast? I told Paul that I would meet him this morning."

"You go ahead. I'm going to head back to my room so I can change clothes. I'll meet you in the lobby in twenty minutes."

"You sure, you could wait for me to finish then I could walk with you…"

"That's okay I need to talk to him myself." Rae stood from the couch placing a kiss on his lips then walked out the door.

Once inside her room she looked for Dave, seeing no sign of him she grabbed some clothes and jumped in the shower. Standing under the spray of hot water she thought about what Dave would say to her when she saw him and what she would have to say to him in return. She kept reminding herself over and over again that this was the right thing to do; she had to cut ties from Dave at least sexually. She had to let him know that she was no longer interested in him as anything but her boss and she had to stick with it she couldn't give in to any temptations that he threw at her.

Rae stepped out of the shower wrapping a towel around her slender body she walked out of the bathroom and found Dave sitting on the edge of the Bed watching her. Rae held the towel tighter around her body and walked over to her suitcase after pulling clothes from the bag she walked back in the bathroom, quickly dressed then returned to the bedroom.

"I didn't know you were here." Dave said looking up from the floor.

"It's okay." Rae walked over and sat on the bed beside him. "Do you think that we could talk for a minute?" Dave nodded his head. "I'm sorry about the why I told you about Randy and me. I shouldn't have been like that. But when you talked to me like you did and pretty much called me a whore, it upset me and I just said the first thing that came out. I wanted to sit and tell you calmly but I guess what I want isn't always what happens."

"So you're carrying Randy's baby?" Rae nodded. "How long have you known?"

"Not long."

"When did it happen?"

"Right after I lost our baby. I met up with Randy a few weeks after that and…"

"Are you really happy with him Rae? I mean really happy, is he the one that you want to be with?"

"You know I never thought that I would meet anyone after you. But then I spent time with Randy. He really does make me happy Dave."

"As long as you're happy baby girl and as long as you keep working for me then I guess I'm okay with it. And I promise no more flirting or touching." Dave stuck his out to her.

Rae laughed and pushed his hand away then wrapped her arms around his neck. "Friends don't shake hands, friends hug." Dave laughed and wrapped his arms around her.
