Chapter 4 - The Paradise Baby

She was Pregnant, 2 weeks gone, And she was scared, scared the Moray will not want the child, scared that she would loose her position. As soon as the applications for the new head of ladies wear became avaliable Denise had applied, she did't want to regret not putting her name up regardless of what John had said, although now she might not even get it.

'Denise you okay?' Clara asked she was sitting next to her on the table eating breakfast 'You need to at to keep your strengh up' Clara said and nodded to Denises bowl of uneaten cereal in front of her.

'I was thinking, and im not hungey' she whispered

'You need to tell him Denise, as a friend i'm telling you he should know' Clara said and squeezed Denise's hand

'I know, i will tell him after the issue with the head of ladies is resolved, ill tell him' Denise whispered back so nobody else heard.

Just after breakfast she recived a note from John sent by Arther it was a request to meet him in his office. Denise made her way down the stairs minding the charge of customers making there way back to ladies wear. once there she gave a small knock onto the door and opened it a little and crept in.

'Denise, im sorry sweetheart but i told you not to apply, i told you we had to be careful around the Westons, they are playing a game and you are in the centre of it, you have been selected as the top 4 girls, dont you see denise?' John asked and walked towards her.

'I see John but i need to have a secure future, i need the position and i could't let the oppertunity slip, im sorry but if you knew why you would understand' Denise said sadly

'Then tell me why Denise, afterall you are my wife now we should have no secrets please tell me, maybe i can help in another way?' John pleaded, he stepped forward and grasped Denise's hand.

'Promise me you wont leave me if i tell you?' Denise asked scared now

'Why will i leave you sweetheart?' he asked worried himself

'I'm with child' she whispered and held her hand over her stomach

Moray smiled 'What, did i hear right we are going to have a baby?' he asked his smile getting bigger

'Yes, i'm 2 weeks gone' Denise replied seeing the look on John face she too smiled.

John pressed his hand over Denise's stomach and felt his baby inside her.

'I'm so happy' Moray said he pulled denise into his arms and picked her up and twirled them both around. he kissed her on the lips and then let her stand back on the floor

'Your not mad?' she asked

'No, i'm delirously happy, this baby we have made together out of love,this baby is ours and im so excited' John said and smiled once more. 'Only we might nit want to tell anybody intill we have owned up about our secret marriage does any one know?' Moray asked

'Just Clara' denise whispered 'But she will keep it a secret'

'Good'
