Chapter 53: Baby Shower
My alarm rings and I quickly hit the snooze button and pull the covers over my head, I know I had to get up and do something but all I could think of was sleep.
"Kori wake up", Richard says and nudges me gently.
"Nooo", I groan, "The alarm is on snooze I still having 15 more minutes", I say.
"You hit the off button instead of snooze, you slept a whole hour", Richard says.
"What!" I say and my eyes fly open, "What are you doing here anyway?" I ask.
"I said I would come home from work because I want to take you out for lunch, remember?" Richard says.
"Right sorry", I say and sit up, "I'm up", I say and slowly get out of bed to get ready.
I brush my teeth and take a quick shower and put on one of my new dresses. I look for some shoes but I can barely see my feet over my belly.
"Um Richard, can you help me find my shoes?" I ask.
"Of course Cinderella, you're Prince Charming is here", Richard says and I laugh as he walks in the closet.
"Which shoes do you want?" he asks.
"My flats please", I point to them as I sit on the small couch in our closet.
Richard grabs my shoes and kneels in front of the couch and carefully slides on my shoes.
"There you are my lady", he says and helps me to my feet.
"Why thank you kind sir", I say and give him a kiss, "Now let's go get food", I say.
"What kind of restaurant did you say this place was?" I say to Richard as his bodyguards continue to drive.
"A new one", Richard says with a secret smile on his lips.
I pout, "It better be a good restaurant", I say.
Richard kisses my forehead, "It is", he says.
I glance out the window and see a sign that reads, 'Gotham City Country Club'.
Sawyer pulls up to the front of the country clubhouse and stops the car.
"Ready?" Richard asks.
"I guess", I say as we step out the car.
Richard reaches for hand and we walk inside with Sawyer and Prescott following closely.
"SURPRISE!" I hear my friends voices yell as they through pink streamers.
I gasp in surprise, "What the occasion?" I ask.
"Your baby shower of course", Rachel says and I glance around and see everything is pink and purple with 'It's a girl!' balloons everywhere.
"Aww you guys are the best! I think I'm going to cry", I say.
"Oh no another mood swing, just back away slowly", Richard says to Rachel.
I stick my tongue out at him, "Haha you're so funny", I say sarcastically.
Richard grins and kisses my forehead, "I'm just kidding", he says even though I hear him mutter, "Sort of" under his breath.
Richard and I greet our friends, everyone one is congratulating me and wants to rub my belly while Richard steps aside to take a phone call. He makes his way over to me with a sad expression on his face.
"Your leaving aren't you?" I ask.
"Yea, Bruce needs me back at the office, I'm sorry Kori", he says.
"It's ok", I say sadly.
"I promise I'll be back before your baby shower ends", he says.
"Ok", I say.
Richard gives me a quick kiss before he, Sawyer and Prescott leave.
"Where is Dick going?" Bee asks.
I sigh, "Back to work", I say sadly.
"Aww cheer up girl, that means more cake for us and we can finally have some girl talk", Bee says and I laugh.
"Cake first then we can have some girl talk", I say.
The baby shower was a success, Rachel and Bee planned everything well, I especially enjoyed all the baby shower games. The shower had finally settled down and I, Bee and Rachel finally had a chance to chat.
"So let me get this straight, the reason why the men in black are following Richard is because someone is trying to kill him?" Bee asks.
"Yes", I say and shudder at the memory of the explosion at Wayne Manor.
"Wow", Rachel says, "Do they know who?" she ask.
I shake my head, "No, they are still investigating, I am so stressed out, I haven't told anyone this but every time I'm with Richard I wonder is this the last time I'm going to see him?", I say.
"Kori you can't stress yourself out like that", Bee says.
"She's right, Bruce has a lot of connections in this city especially in law enforcement, they will catch the bastard", Rachel says.
"I hope it's soon", I say and rub my belly, "I want to feel safe before the baby comes", I say.
"Ugh my stomach is doing flips with all this anxiety", I say.
"Or It could be because of all that cake and mustard you ate", Rachel says and we laugh.
The baby shower was finally over and I am exhausted. I say goodbye to all my guest and Rachel, Bee and I finish cleaning up and collecting all the baby shower gifts.
I glance at my phone and see that Richard still hasn't called me back yet. I dial his number again only for it to go straight to voicemail.
"Is he still not answering?" Rachel asks.
"No", I say, "His phone went straight to voicemail again, this isn't like him", I say.
"Did you try calling his office?" Bee asks.
I nod, "His secretary says he left almost an hour ago", I say.
Rachel and Bee exchange worried looks, "Maybe he's battery is dead or something", Bee says.
My phone rings, I quickly answer it, "Hello?" I say into the speaker.
"Hi, this is Sandy calling from Gotham hospital, is this Kori Grayson?" she asks.
"Yes..." I say hesitantly.
"We need you to come to the emergency right away, there has been a car accident involving your husband…" I don't even hear the rest of the sentence as I drop my phone in shock.
"Kori what's wrong?" Rachel asks.
"We need to get to the hospital right away, Richard has been hurt", I say trying to keep my voice as steady as possible.
A/N: *Dun dun dun! Gasp! Sooo what do you think? I know a lot of you are thinking that Richard is going to die in this story but that isn't true. There will be a character death in this story but it's not going to be Kori or Richard. Anyway hope you enjoyed the chapter! Please review,follow,favorite or all 3!
Happy Reading!-TriniPrincess
