I took in another breath, trying to be ready to face him. Randy was red in the face, the veins under skin looked as though they were going to pop as he paced across the living room. His fists were clenched; I just lowered my head as I approached him. "What was that Lea? Huh? You slap my wife who is carrying my baby!"

"Randy..." he stopped me before I could say anything else.

"Enough of this Lea, who are you to come into my house and slap my wife! I just don't understand why you did it? What is the matter with you?"

I sighed. I didn't want to be the one to tell him, but I knew he would think awful of me if I didn't. "Look, I may have gotten a little crazy by slapping Ivana. But... she deserved it."

"What? How did she deserve it? She has done nothing, I mean if anything it's my fault" he said sadly.

"Your fault?" I was confused.

"Well... you know what went on between us. I never told her that I kissed you at the airport and I should have, but... I haven't because it wasn't important to me." His eyes looked icy as he spoke those last words.

"It wasn't important to you?" I said shaking my head, annoyed. "If it's not important to you then why don't you tell her maybe she'll even tell you something she's been keeping!" I crossed my arms, irritated by him.

"Something she's been keeping from me?" he asked.

I closed my eyes, realising I had put my foot in it. I just kept quiet.

"What is it Lea?" he asked. I continued my silence. He chuckled "I get it Lea; you're just trying to get back at me right?"

"What?"

"You're upset about everything that happened. But that gives you no damn right to start creating problems for my family or to put your hands on my wife, alright!" he roared.

A small smile appeared on my face, I felt like maybe he deserved to be with her. But I knew he must have only been blinded by her.

He looked at me weirdly. "What are you smiling about?"

"You have no idea about anything! You are this stupid, little boy that gets distracted by shiny, pretty objects. You just never seem to see anybody from the inside!" I yelled.

"What are you on about?"

"Your wife Ivana she's..." I stopped again realising that I couldn't tell him.

"What?"

"Nothing" I said calming down, sighing at my helplessness.

He shook his head. "Lea, I don't want you anywhere near my wife or my child ever again, better yet I don't want you near me! You sicken me."

I looked up at him, feeling how unfair this was.

"I don't want to see you around my family ever again, this is last I ever hear about you bad mouthing anybody I care about!"

"Is everything alright" voiced this deep voice.

We turned to look at the door and there was the Englishman. He had a worried look on his face, I had never been happier to see him.

Randy scowled. "We're done here." He brushed past the two of, huffing at Wade as he walked out.

I sighed, running my fingers in my hair. Wade gave me a smile as he walked toward me. "Is everything okay?"

"It's always a joy to get screamed at by Randy" I said sarcastically. "But I'm glad you're here."

"I wanted to belt that guy!" he said. A smiled grew on my face, watching Wade be protective.

"You've come back so soon?"

"High demand" he joked.

I chuckled and then looked up into his green eyes. Realising how long it had been since I had seen him. "I missed you so much."

He smirked. "I've missed you too, but I have a surprise for you."

He grabbed my wrist and walked me outside. There was his limousine parked in front on the house. Wade walked me closer and closer to the car, the window rolled down and there was his daughter Adele. She looked so happy, so did Wade. "Hi Lea!" she exclaimed.

"Hello sweetheart, it's good to see you."

Wade opened the car door and Adele walked out, I kneeled down and she gave me a hug.

"Is this your house?" she asked.

"Yeah, this is my house. It's not as pretty as your Daddy's house but its home for me."

Wade rolled his eyes, shaking his head.

I grabbed Adele's hand and walked her inside, as Wade followed.

The two sat on the couch as I brought out some snacks and juice. "How did everything go?"

"Well, I can safely say that Nicole finally got exactly what she deserved, which is no money and no Adele" he said smiling at his daughter.

I grinned. "So you have sole custody of her?"

He nodded, sipping the glass of coke.

"That's great I'm so happy you two can be finally together." I enjoyed watching the two together, Adele definitely brought out his softer side.

"Well enough about us, what has been happening with you, Lea?" he said sitting up, smirking at me.

"Where to start" I said scratching my head.

"How's John... my old pal" he joked.

"John is fine; he's actually in town right now."

"Oh, is he here?" he asked looking around the house.

"No, he's staying at his friends and speaking of friends, John and Randy are friends and they work together. I had no idea until the other day when we held an engagement party, it was horrible" I said putting my hand over my face. "John was even in Italy when Randy and Ivana met and got married."

"Wow, small world."

I nodded. "John then saw Randy and me talking and he found out about us."

"How did he react?"

"He was upset, he has this weird thing where he thinks that I'm still in love with Randy and he even said this thing about you" I said shaking my head.

"About me?" he said putting his hand on his chest.

"Yeah he said that... you like me." I looked at him searching for an answer.

He laughed nervously, "Of course not Lea, I think of you as my assistant."

I nodded. "But now we're good."

"So why was pretty boy in here huffing like a wolf?"

"Well he thinks Ivana is pregnant, but she isn't."

"Have you told him?"

"No, I don't really think it's my place."

"But do you think she'll tell him."

"No that crazy woman is just conniving" I said huffing. Wade grinned seeing me annoyed.

"Are you guys done yet?" said Adele, frustrated of our conversation.

We both laughed.

"Hey how about you come upstairs, I have something for you" I said as Adele held my hand.

Wade looked confused.

"Sorry Dad, girls only" I said smirking at Wade.

"Sorry Daddy" said Adele shrugging her shoulders.

...

I showed her my bedroom and she sat on my bed. I looked through some of my canvases and found the painting I was looking for. "This is for you, my little princess."

She looked at the painting in awe, it was of her and Wade sitting on the sofa with Molly and Peter. "It's like a big photo!"

I laughed. "Something like that, I painted it for you."

"But it's missing you from it" she said. I felt enlightened by her adoration for me.

"I thought, it would be nice with just your family."

"But you are our family? Remember you and Daddy danced like Belle and Beast."

I smiled, "Of course I remember."

She pulled off her backpack of her back and opened the top zip. She then pulled out what looked like the rose I had given her. It was dried now and she had put it in a zip lock bag, but there was still petals attached to the flower.

"The magic rose" I said.

She nodded, smiling.

I pulled her hair tie from her ponytail and began brushing her hair with my hairbrush. "Adele, you know I will always be here for you, think of me as your fairy godmother."

"My fairy godmother?"

I nodded. "Whenever you need help or need anything at all. Just ask your Dad for his mobile and press 7, I'm only a speed dial away."

"Okay Lea."

Dad walked inside, looking confused at the little girl who was with me. "And who is this little one?"

"Dad, this Adele... Wade's daughter" I said.

"So this is Adele" he said smiling at her.

"Adele, this is my Daddy."

She grinned at Dad.

"So where's her father?" he asked.

"He's downstairs, he's probably watching soccer" said Adele rolling her eyes.

...

The three of us came downstairs to find Wade sitting in front of the television and as Adele had predicted he was watching some soccer match. I chuckled.

"So is ladies time over?" said Wade.

"Yes" said Adele.

Wade noticed my Dad behind me; he stood up to shake his hand. "Nice to see you again, Paul."

"Nice to see you Wade" he said shaking his hand, sitting next to him. "It's nice to meet your little one."

Wade smiled at Adele as she sat on my lap.

"I'm sorry, I didn't hear any of you coming in, I heard Randy screaming and then I just threw the ear plugs in, I knew they would be at it for a while" laughed Dad.

"Dad?" I said shaking my head.

Wade laughed.

"Why don't you guys stay for dinner?" said Dad.

"No, we wouldn't want to bother you" said Wade.

"I want to say Daddy" said Adele.

I smiled at Wade, "Stay."

He looked at the three of us and nodded. "Okay."

...

After dinner, Adele and Dad watched cartoons in the living room while I was washing up in the kitchen. Wade approached me, leaning on the bench. "Can I help with anything?" he asked.

"You can dry the dishes" I suggested.

He looked at the dishes confused; I then remembered Wade had probably never done the dishes before. He had always had help.

I laughed handing him a cloth, just wipe these and then put them to the side. He nodded.

"So how is work?"

"Fine, oh thank you by the way for leaving me all those files!" I said.

Wade laughed. "Anytime."

"Drew is settling in fine, he and Adele are somewhat of a couple."

"Adele and Drew?" he said surprised.

I nodded happily, "They look really cute together."

"Good for Drew, Adele is great."

I finished up putting the dishes away as Wade watched me. "You know I'm kind of jealous of John."

"Jealous of John?"

I could see his cheeks blush, "Yes well when you two are married, the only time I'll get with you is when I'm ordering you around at work."

"We'll still hang out" I said smiling at him.

"No we won't, I know John will keep you on a leash."

"No he won't" I said.

"Well anyway, he's a very lucky guy to have you" he said. "I just want you to know that."

I really didn't know what to say. I just smiled at him as he left the kitchen. I heard him call out to Adele that they were going to leave now. Dad was saying goodbye to the two and they made their way to the kitchen. Adele pouted at me as she hugged me. "It's ok, remember what I told you."

She smiled, kissing my cheek. I stood back up and nodded at Wade.

"I guess I'll see you in the office, on Monday" he said.

"Yeah" I said.

The two left and I went to check my mobile phone. There were 9 missed calls and two texts. I checked my inbox to see who they were from. The first one was from John it read: The date is set, March 5th, 7 days until we become Mr and Mrs.

The second text was from Randy, it read: I'm sorry. I know everything, we need to talk.
