I wanted to upload yesterday, but there was something wrong with fanfiction .. But here it is - some drama before the end! :)

And also, I wanted to ask if anobody would want to be my second beta? I would love to update more frequently, but as it happens in life, my beta is sometimes busy, so probably if there was another one, you would be able to get more from me. Feel free to PM me :)

But now thanks to icalyn for editing this! :)

Christian regretted what he had done more than anything else in his life. Of course he hadn't expected this, but his reaction was just wrong.

It was not Anastasia's fault he had wanted her so much that for the first time in his life he had forgotten about protection.

Regardless how not ready for this he was, he had to take responsibility for his child and for the mother of his baby.

Out of all the women he had ever been with, he was glad Anastasia was the one left knocked up.

And he would think of the right way to deal with this situation.

He knew he had to talk Ana into not taking the promotion, and he could look for some bigger apartments.

If he was going to have a child, he won't let the kid grow up without a father. No matter what he said earlier, now he knew that he wanted to be in this.

He just couldn't let her do it alone.

He got out of his car carrying the flowers he had bought for Ana.

He got to her floor and apartment and tried knocking on her door, but there was no response.

He had to see her.

Thank God, he found the huge flowerpot strange. And under it he found a key to her apartment. But what he found there…

Ana, with an empty bottle of wine, and one empty wine glass next to the couch, with her asleep next to it.

Would she really do this while pregnant?

But when he picked up the notebook from the floor, he realized she wasn't.

Lie. Seduce him. Distract him. Do anything for that job.

How could she? He thought as he put the notebook back on the floor and left the flowers on her table.

How could she lie about something so important just to get a job?

What a fool he had been, he realized as he locked the door and left the key under the flowerpot.

Had he really thought of her as a sweet and lovely lady, as the most fantastic woman on this earth?

He was an idiot.

Had he really thought now that she was pregnant they could be back together. And really together. Not just for holidays or one night.

No, now it was over. Completely over.

And tomorrow she would get what she deserved for these lies.

Ana watched as Christian presented his project.

He was doing well. And she really wondered how he managed to do it when he knew he was in one room with her.

Didn't he care at all?

He had been so cold when she had been standing there and presenting her work.

But Ana couldn't be so emotionless and she guessed it was finally time her pregnancy started showing as she excused herself and quickly went to the bathroom to empty her stomach.

What a fool she had been when she thought Christian would change his mind about her and the baby. That he would show some interest in her.

But he was just unbelievable.

She washed her mouth and dried it with the paper towel before she went back to Peter's office.

But when she stepped in, Christian was finished.

And Peter was staring at her wide-eyed.

"Is anything wrong?" Ana asked, smiling, as she got back to her seat.

"Well, I don't know how to say this now..." Peter said as he filled himself a glass of whiskey, offering Christian some, too.

And then Ana realized what had happened.

"I really think you both were great. And I don't know how I would've decided which one of you got the job, but now it is clear." Peter said. "Ana, you are a wonderful employee but you won't be able to do the job since you are pregnant."

Ana looked at Christian who seemed to be taken away by the fact that he was going to get that job.

"You can still keep working here and even take a maternity leave, but I am afraid I will have to congratulate Christian on getting the job."

Ana took out a sheet of paper from her bag and handed it to Peter.

"This is my letter of resignation. Thank you for letting me work for you, Peter. Even if I had gotten the job, I wouldn't have taken it since I am pregnant. I just didn't want to waste my project. If you don't have any concerns, I will go pack my things." Ana said, shocking both her boss and Christian.

"Ana, you can still have – "

"I don't need the job. I want to concentrate on my pregnancy and not work. Maybe in a year or two I will start thinking about coming back." Ana said, giving Peter a smile before she left his office.

Everyone looked at her. Judging her.

They must think that she had lost, and that of course their loved Christian had won.

But if they only knew how cruel he had been. How could he use their child to make her lose?

She started packing her things in boxes. She needed to get out of this office as soon as possible. Everything here reminded her of him. This desk. This desk probably was the place where their baby was conceived.

Everything was wrong.

"Ana, hey, what's wrong?" And that stupid Josh had to come in and talk to her now.

"Listen, Josh, I don't want to talk about it, okay?" She said as she continued filling the boxes with her stuff.

But the man must have misunderstood her.

"Ana. I know what would make you feel better." He said as he came to her from behind and wrapped his arms around her, trying to touch her.

"Josh, stop." She said, grabbing his hands, but he even held her palms so hard that they almost hurt.

"Stop what? We have just started." He said, trying to sound seductive, but didn't he see that Ana was not interested?

"Get out!" She yelled but he held her tighter and was about to kiss her but then the door opened and someone else started talking.

"Didn't you hear her?" Christian asked as he pushed the man away from Ana.

"Christian, what's your problem?" Josh asked, trying to wrap his arm around Ana, but she didn't let him.

"What's my problem? I just don't like women getting hurt by stupid men."

And then Ana laughed between the soft tears she cried. "Really? When you hurt me more than anyone has ever hurt me?"

"Listen, Anastasia, I know that you are not a saint. So stop acting."

"Stop acting what?"

"Your pregnancy. If you thought that's how you get a job, then you were wrong and you just got what you deserved. Didn't the boss deserve to know that you were to become a mother? Even if it was a lie, you just got your lesson."

And then Ana didn't know if she wanted to cry or laugh. How could he be so stupid and cruel?

"I don't know what are you talking about. Did you inform him that you are to become a father? That would've been fair."

"I am not going to be a father because you are not pregnant."

Ana was about to walk out of the room and leave this office but then his words stopped her.

"Idiot." She walked back to him and slapped him across his cheek. For the first time in her life she was so angry and upset. She really hated this man at the moment.

Everyone must have heard everything as they watched Ana leave with wide eyes.

But she couldn't care less.

What she cared of was that little baby – because he needed at least a good mom if he was not going to have a dad at all.

And as she went out of the building she really felt bad.

And dizzy that's why she just wanted to get home as soon as possible.

But then, as she crossed the street, her thoughts were on that red car coming to her.

The last thing she heard were screams and the sound of brakes.

The last thing she felt was the cold metal of the car against her.
