From Randy's house I drove to Wade's house, where he was waiting for me. I saw Peter, Molly and Adele leaving.
"Where are you guys going?" I asked.
"We're going out for dinner" said Adele excited.
"Adele told us about this place, her father took her for pizza and she really wants to go" said Peter.
"I'll come to, I'm starving" I said.
"No Dear, its better you stay" said Molly winking at me.
I smiled, "Alright, you guys have fun without me."
"I'll take you next time, Lea" said Adele.
"I'll hold you to that" I said, kissing her small cheek.
I watched the three of them leave and went inside. I walked into the living room, where the table was beautifully set with the room being lit with golden candles. I grinned looking at the romantic setting. Wade walked in with a bottle of wine and looked at me disappointed, "I wasn't done yet."
"There was more?"
He nodded as he put the wine on the table and then made his way toward me wrapping his large arms around my waist.
"This is amazing, I can't believe you did this" I said as I put my arms around him.
"I did have some help from the three musketeers, that just left" he said, "But I wanted to do something special with you."
"It's amazing" I said kissing his lips.
"It gets better" he said grabbing my hand to show me the food on the plate, "you see this food, I cooked it."
I laughed, "You? Cooking? Are you sure this isn't Molly?"
"No really, I cooked... Molly was there to tell me what to do but she tried it and she said it was good!" he said.
"Alright, alright I believe you" I said, "It's really sweet of you to do this."
"Well the whole time you've known me, you've known this wicked, mean boss that I do admit that I am but now I want to show you the more romantic side" he said.
"Are you going to start singing to me?" I joked.
"Alright not that much" he said, "How did everything go?"
"I spent some time with Stephanie, she is very nice and I see that she makes my Dad very happy" I said sitting down at the table.
"She does seem lovely" said Wade eating his food.
"Yeah, she is actually going to spend the night there, so I thought I would spend the night with you" I said winking at him.
He smirked, "That sounds fantastic."
...
After a surprisingly delicious and long dinner, I was laying my head on Wade's bare, broad chest. I was breathless, after making love to him. I then began thinking about how much he meant to me, my thoughts were going everywhere as we lay together. I never wanted to lose him, he meant everything to me, everyone in this house did. Wade felt something moist on his body; he looked down and saw tears falling from my eyes. "Lea? What's wrong?"
"Nothing" I said wiping my eyes, "I just never told you how much you mean to me."
"I know you care for me, Lea."
I sat up staring into his green eyes, "I don't just care for you. You've become very important to me. You always were but now... I don't think I could be without you."
He smiled, grazing his fingers across my face. "I know Lea; don't think I'm going anywhere because I'm not."
"But... I don't want to be your assistant anymore" I said.
"You don't like it there?" he asked surprised.
"No, I love it there and the people, Adele, Phillip even Drew is there... but I don't want to be working as your assistant...It's just... we're going to be living together and then working together and I really don't want my boss to by my boyfriend" I explained, "I hope you can understand."
"I understand it's going to be a little harder to boss you around now that we're together" he said.
I laughed, "See... because you really don't want to get your girlfriend mad."
"But where will you work?" he asked.
I hesitated before trying to get the guts to answer, "Um... I went to visit Randy before I came here and he offered me a job with him."
"A job with... him?" he said.
I could see how annoyed he was with what I had said. "It sounds like a really nice opportunity, he said I could start when I'm ready and... I really want to take the job."
"Lea, I really don't want you working with that dick head!" huffed Wade.
"He's still my friend and he just wants to look out for me, I'd be working with him that's all" I said.
He sighed, lying in bed facing the opposite side of me.
I rolled my eyes watching him be upset with me, "If it means that much to you, I won't take the job." I lay in bed, pulling the sheets over my body.
...
I woke up feeling nauseous; I hated having that fight with Wade. He had clearly left for work as I looked at the time, it was 9 am. I felt something lunging out of my stomach and up my mouth, I ran for the bathroom and vomit leaked out. I felt disgusted; maybe Wade's cooking wasn't as great as he thought.
"Are you alright, Dear?" asked Molly walking inside.
"Yeah, just food poisoning" I said.
"We should go to the doctor" she said concerned.
Molly drove me to the nearest doctor, concern etched all over her face we waited in the doctor's office, I loved that she wanted to take care of me so much. The doctor seemed to have gone somewhere; I just thought she would give me my medication or needle and we could get out of here. I hated being at the Doctors. We were then joined by the doctor, a middle aged woman with dark red hair and hazel eyes.
"So we're good to go?" I asked her as she sat down at her desk.
"Actually, the reason you were throwing up wasn't because of food poisoning, you were having morning sickness" she said.
"Morning sickness?" I said stunned. Molly looked at me with wide eyes and a huge grin.
The Doctor smiled as well, "You're pregnant, Lea."
I touched my stomach, exhilaration flowing through my body and my eyes becoming glossy, "I'm pregnant."
The Doctor nodded, "Very much so."
"Lea, dear that's wonderful news, Wade is going to be astounded" said Molly.
"He is" I said, my hands still feeling my stomach.
"I'm glad your Mother could be here with you" said The Doctor.
Molly was silent, feeling a little discomfited. I smiled at her, putting my hand on her leg, "She's not my mother... she's my mother in law."
Molly grinned at me, "I'm going to be a grandmother."
"You really are" I said holding her hand.
"I'm glad to see that you two are so close, most in laws hate each other" said the Doctor.
"Well I see her as my own daughter" said Molly.
"How far a long am I?" I asked.
"I'd say about 5-6 weeks" said the Doctor.
Doubt filled my face as my mind traced back to who I was also with 5-6 weeks ago. "John" I whispered.
"What was that dear?" asked Molly.
"Are you sure I'm 5-6 weeks?" I asked anxiously.
"Positive" said the Doctor.
I lowered my head, touching my stomach "I don't know if this is Wade's, I want it to be but I have this feeling that it might be... John's."
"John?" said the Doctor.
"I was with this other man about two months ago, we were supposed to get married until I united with Wade" I said, tears falling down my face "I feel so guilty."
Molly comforted me, "Dear, it's going to be alright. We all understand that you were with someone else and Wade would understand, he also has a child that has a different parent he would understand more than anyone."
"I know, but even though I know John would be a good father, he probably hates me right now and would not want to have a baby with me. I would want to raise a baby with Wade, he is an amazing father to Adele and I would want him to father my child."
"Would you like to do a paternity test?" asked the Doctor.
I nodded then turned to Molly, "Please don't tell anyone about the pregnancy, I don't want to let anyone to know until I'm sure who the father is."
"Of course dear, you know it'll be safe with me. But even if this child isn't Wade's, you must know that he would love this child as much as he would Adele because this child was yours" she said.
...
Molly and I returned home where Peter and Adele were watching television together, Wade looked uneasy as we walked inside. "Where have you two been?" he asked.
"We just went shopping" I lied.
"Lea was just showing me around" she said.
Wade looked at the both of us inquisitively, "You don't seem to have bought anything?"
"We went window shopping" I said looking at Molly, "Much more fun."
Wade shook his head, "Alright, Could I speak with Lea alone please?"
Molly smiled at the both of us before she joined Peter and Adele on the couch.
He took my hand walking me toward the garden outside, "Lea I am truly sorry about the way I acted last night."
"It's alright" I said.
"No, it was very selfish of me to act like that toward you. It's just... with yours and his history together I fear that that you're with me, but because I don't know you as well as he does I'll lose you to him" he said lowering his head.
My heart dejected seeing him like this I hated to make him feel this way, "You know me enough; I was your assistant for years! I don't love Randy, we may have a history but I want to make a future with you because I love you."
This smile then appeared on his face as he looked into my eyes, "You can work for whoever you like and if that's with Randy then so be it."
His hands clasped my face as he kissed my lips.
"I actually have another thing to ask..." I said.
"What is it my love?" he asked.
"Um... I invited Randy over for dinner on Friday, I thought that would give you two a chance to get to be friends" I asked hesitantly.
"You want us to friends?" said Wade.
"Yes, it would mean a lot to me if you did."
He sighed, "Alright, only for you."
"Thank you so much!" I exclaimed, kissing his lips.
...
Wade had taken Adele to get a movie for us to watch before bed, he was getting absolutely sick of watching Beauty and the Beast. I had sent John a text message explaining our situation.
He immediately texted me back, it read: Congratulations on the baby, I know how excited you are to be a mother. I can see that Wade is protecting you but I feel like we need to talk. I feel like I need some closure, I promise I will do the test if you agree to speak with me, there is some things I want to tell you and some things I want you to tell me. I will fly up tomorrow and do the test if you agree to meet with me.
Reading the text left me feeling slightly anxious but I really needed to find out about who this baby's father was so I texted him back: Agreed.
