Chapter 4
'Past Times'
-I want to say thank you again for all the lovely reviews! I'm taking my sister to see this movie again tonight. She has yet to see it, and I love it! Anyhow enjoy another chappie!-
Once again, Margaret was awoken by Andrews phone ringing. For once her phone never rang. Every since he had become an editor himself, and moved into Bobs old office, things had changed. He had become the busy one and she was now more laid back.
"Andrew your phone has got to go. I cant stand all these calls this early in the morning."
He smirked. "Its just work sweetie. I'm just like you used to be, always busy."
"I wish you didn't have to go in today."
"I know, but you need to rest." He kissed her forehead.
Margaret was now 6 months pregnant. Things had been going so well for the happy couple. They were going to have a little boy and they were thrilled. Margaret had decided to take some time off from work because she did not want the stress to affect her pregnancy. Plus everyone kept teasing her about being knocked up. Andrew on the other hand, knew how to take it. He didn't mind their joking, he was a fighter because of all the years of being around Margaret.
She smiled. "Dinner will be ready at 7."
"I'll be here." With that said, he kissed her on the lips and headed to work.
Margaret closed her eyes and tried to get more rest, but found it hard. She carefully stood up and walked to the kitchen to drink some juice. "What to do…what should we do today?" She rubbed her now swollen belly and drank her juice. The baby began to kick and she smiled. "Alright in there…don't do that too much today."
The sound of her cell phone ringing distracts her from all the kicking. She picks it up and the sweet voice of Gammy is on the line. "Hello Gammy. Oh yes we are doing great….the baby? Oh he's a little kicker, like his father and the covers…You just missed Andrew, he left for work about an hour ago. Uh huh, yes. Yes we are coming for Christmas. Don't worry Gammy…I will be very careful. You take care too…Love you too Gammy. Bye now."
Family. It was something she had not had in so long and now she had one. The Paxton's, which she too was now a Paxton, are such lovely people. Every since their first encounter she has been a part of their family. In a few months, she and Andrew would have a new family member, their child. Every time she would think about them raising their child together she would smile and sigh ever so softly. Sure it happened faster than they had planned, but their love has kept them together and having a child has made their relationship grow stronger.
"Okay… the list. Got it…um purse, got it. Oh and money… I got it too." Margaret was preparing herself for a trip to the grocery store. "Alright we are ready to go."
…
Meanwhile at the office with Andrew…
"So Andrew…sorry to interrupt but how is Margaret doing?" Jordan walked into Andrews office and began to converse with him.
"She is doing well." He replied.
"Is she taking being pregnant alright?"
"Actually yes. We found out last week that we are having a son."
"You must be proud. Having a son to carry on the family name is amazing."
"Yep."
"Well I will let you get back to your work sir." Jordan walked out of the office and returned to his own station.
…
At the grocery store with Margaret…
"Okay I think I got everything." She went to the checkout counter and paid for her groceries then headed home.
Once she arrived back at home, she found that the door was unlocked. "That's strange. I thought I locked the door…hmm oh well." She entered their house and put away the groceries then sat on the couch to watch some TV. Suddenly the lights went off as did the power. She stood up panicking. "What the hell?" She then felt something cold pressed against her neck. She didn't move a muscle in fear of something bad happening.
She heard a mans voice. "You will come with me my pretty and no one gets hurt."
Tears began to fill her eyes, for the first time in her life she thought she was about to die. She nodded and decided to do as the man said. A cloth was placed over her face and then everything went black.
-Sorry I know a cliffy. But hey its fixing to get real interesting. R&R please!-
