A/N: I decided to post again today because I'm literally writing the last chapter as we speak well read? You get the point PLUS you people have been sooooo fantastic to me I hit just about 250 views two days in a row... IN A ROW and again today I'm at 100 so thank you thank you thank you thank you so much! I want to reward you somehow but since you lovely people don't leave reviews I don't know how! I also forgot to mention that time is an important factor now I want to clarify some stuff. First, I jacked up the ages because Ian only just turned 34 on 12/8/2012 and I aged him up a year for the story. In the beginning Tiara is supposed to be 24 in the year of 2012 but her birthday is 11/8 so it's a tad funky because of the timeline thats why they are in 2012 right now which wasn't my intention. Second, Tiara left 11/9/2011 and didn't see Ian till 1/15/2012 and they stay in New York for about a month so let's say they get back to Louisiana the last week of January. February is when most of the story happens but now it's March! Keep that in mind because once again in the beginning of the next story time is a very important factor!

Chapter 8: Coming to a Closing: Part 2

Point of View: Tiara Green March 12, 2012

After brushing my teeth, I can't help but stare at my chest in the mirror. "My boobs look so fucking big." I murmur to myself but of course, that's when Ian enters.

"Hmm I have to take a look for myself." He sits me on the counter and pulls down my sports bra. "Oh wow yeah I would say they've gotten bigger… damn baby."

I pull my bra back up feeling too self-conscious, "Don't get a boner now."

"Too late," Ian says with a smirk. "I can't wait to take you bra shopping."

"Of course you would want to go."

"Duh! Any sane man would want to. C'mon you need to eat." He takes my hand and leads me downstairs.

"Good afternoon lovebirds." Cheynne says barely looking up from her laptop.

"What are you watching?" I ask sitting on the bar stool next to her.

"Gossip Girl."

I stare at the screen that reveals sexy Chace Crawford, "Gosh I can't get over how much he looks like Ian."

"Thank you! He looks like me I'm older than him!" Ian blurts. He hates it when people say he looks like Chace and not the other way around.

"The eyes are almost exactly the same and the smirk… don't get me started." Cheynne says.

Like a freight train, a realization hits me smack dab in the face. "Do you know who Ashley's ex was?"

"Um no I didn't ask specifics my team took care of contacting him," Ian says.

"Oh okay."

Cheynne finally closes her laptop and is glued to my chest. "What the hell! Your tits grew over night!"

"Um thank you?"

"Wow well what were you thinking about Chace?"

"I just was thinking about something."

"What is it?"

"Ian and Chace look just alike obviously and a couple months ago I automatically thought Luke was Ian's son based on looks but what if Chace is the father? I doubt Caitlyn knows she wouldn't even be in the same room with him."

"Well do you think we should tell her?"

"I can't bring that up with nothing to back me up."

"Then ask Chace about it."

"Luke Greene doesn't exist to the world so obviously he would deny it."

"Tiara you're a lawyer you can tell when someone is lying 99% of the time."

"It tore my world apart when I found out I'm not going to do that to Caitlyn without knowing for sure."

"I guess."

"Baby you're doing the right thing in my opinion," Ian says wrapping his arms around me from behind.

"Thank you," I kiss him softly before he forces me to eat something. After I finally put something in my stomach, all I feel like doing is sleeping. I lay on the couch with my head in Ian's lap.

"Have you been taking you medicine?"

"Yes I have bossy I'm just tired."

"I have to make sure you stay in the habit of taking your medicine I'm going to be leaving soon."

I look up at him, "Do you know the exact date or how long you'll be gone?"

"Some time in May I think and I'm not going to stay longer than two weeks away. I was actually wondering if you wanted to come with me. By time I get home from Seattle I will be tired and no fun and if you fly there you will be tired and no fun."

"If we stay there how long we will be in Seattle."

"Probably a year but who knows it might be a little longer."

"You're going to be sick of sharing your hotel room with me."

"We can buy a house there."

"Ian that's a lot of money I know you will buy some outlandish gigantic home."

"What's wrong with that? We have the money so why not use it?"

"If we don't need it we don't have to buy it. Who's running HP while you're gone?"

"If you come with me, Cody if you don't, you."

"Really? Cody has always been there for years now I can't just step in and take his spot I don't even know what to do as C.E.O."

"Exactly what you're doing now but give or take some things. Tiara you are a smart and talented woman I have complete faith in you and if you think you need help in the beginning have Cody show you the ropes. Trust me he won't be mad he doesn't like the extra work and Cheynne doesn't like him staying there so late. If I'm gone, you will be bored out of your mind if you aren't C.E.O. If you and Cody do not want to run HP I don't know what I will do because I'm damn sure not bringing a stranger in."

"I'll think about it but right now I just want to go to sleep."

"You woke up about an hour ago. You're worrying me maybe we should go to a doctor."

"No I'm fine I really don't want to go see a doctor I hate it."

"Fine but if you feel worse I don't care what you say I will take you myself."

"It won't come to that I promise now can I sleep?"

"Go ahead I'll be here when you wake up."

"You don't have a choice you're my pillow." Right when I start to drift off the doorbell rings.

"I got it!" Cheynne yells.

I slowly get up and lay my head on Ian's shoulder.

"Hey guys." Holy crap Cheynne called Chace!

"Hi," I mumble then turn to glare at Cheynne. "So why did you come here?"

"Cheynne told me you wanted to tell me something."

"Um well go ahead Cheynne."

She looks surprised then blurts out, "Are you Luke Greene's father?"

Chace's eyes widen you would think his eyes are going to fall out of socket. "Uh well I…."

"That's a yes let's call Caitlyn."

"Cheynne calm down the man hasn't said anything and don't you think if this is true he should be the one to tell her?" I ask.

"Well if he doesn't I surely will so Chace is it a yes?"

"What makes you think that I am?"

"Oh he's the father where's Caitlyn?"

"Cheynne!" I take her phone away to make sure she doesn't do anything stupid. "Chace I thought Ian was the father of Luke but he isn't and since you two look so much alike I couldn't help but think that you could be the father. Now usually I wouldn't even want to pry into your business but a child is a big thing and you're dating her now so I have to look out for Caitlyn."

"I understand completely I don't want to hurt Caitlyn ever again but I also can't you know hurt Ashley. Yes, Luke is my son I found out around the same time that Ian found out. Ashley and I don't live together and we're not dating but I do visit and financially support Luke even though Ashley doesn't need help. I planned to tell Caitlyn but now is not the time we just got back together."

"From a man with experience it's better to get it out in the beginning," Ian chimes in.

"I really do want to tell Caitlyn but I'm barely used to having a child I need to find a happy medium between Caitlyn and Luke."

"Tell her tomorrow or I tell her," Cheynne said.

"Fine."

I get up and walk Chace to the door, "I'm sorry about Cheynne she is being really stubborn."

"It's fine I understand why she's pushing the issue. She saw it tear you and Ian apart and I guess she doesn't want to see Caitlyn in the type of pain."

I give him a sympathetic smile and hug him before he walks out the door.
