Three weeks had passed. Since Juliette and Rick had a prenup they were divorced within a week. Juliette had went back to work last week. She liked being back but hated seeing Rick every day. Angela was shocked when Juliette told her she was pregnant again as was everyone else. Today Juliette had her two month check-up for the baby. Rick was going with her. She was in the waiting room when Rick came through the doors and sat down next to Juliette.

"Hi." He said.

"Hi."

"How are you today?"

"Fine."

"Aren't you going to ask me how I am?"

"Nope."

"Why?"

"I don't care how you are."

"Why do you have to be so mean?"

"You know why."

"Why do you continue to treat me like a criminal when all I did was give you the greatest gift of all?" "Our baby."

"Let's get one think straight Rick." "Yes biologically you are the father and yes I will allow to spend time with it." "This is my baby." She said emphasizing the word my. "Not ours." "Mine."

"No you're wrong it's ours."

"It's mine."

The nurse came out.

"Juliette Barkley." She said.

They went to an examination room. Ten minutes later the doctor came in. She hooked Juliette to the machine.

"Everything still looks fine." The doctor said. "Have you been taking your pre-natal vitamins?"

"Yes." Juliette said.

"Would you like to hear the heartbeat?"

"Yes." The doctor flipped a switch and the sound baby's heartbeat filled the room. She was just as amazed as the first she heard Alexandria's heartbeat. She hated Rick for what he'd done but she loved the baby with all her heart. "Wow." She said.

"That's amazing." Rick said.

Juliette and Rick were walking through the parking lot to get to their cars.

"Juliette Barkley huh?" Rick said.

"Yeah."

"Why did you change it?"

"We're not married anymore." "That's my name."

"I have the perfect name for the baby if it's a boy." "Richard Tyler Porter Jr." Juliette stopped and faced Rick.

"No."

"Why?"

"If it's a boy I already have name picked out." "Nicholas Franklin Barkley."

"We're giving the baby my last name."

"No I'm not." "We're not married and I don't have to."

"I have a say in this."

"No you don't." "Just like I didn't have a say when you got me pregnant." "Boy or girl the baby is going to be a Barkley." "This conversation's over." She walked away.

Later that night Juliette was at the hotel. In the morning John was helping her move into her new apartment. It was a very nice gated apartment complex. There were only two ways to get on the property. One was by an electronic card given to residents only. The other was by a four digit code of the residents choosing if they ever had a guest. It also had a security guard on duty twenty-four hours a day. There was a knock at the door. Juliette answered it and smiled when she saw John.

"Hi honey." She said.

"Hi." He went in. They kissed. "How did the doctor go today?"

"Good." "She said everything still looks fine."

"That's great."

"Ga." Lexie said from the floor.

"Hello to you to." John said as he went over and picked her up.

"She can roll on her stomach and back now." Juliette said. "Can't you little muffin."

"You can." John said looking at Lexie. "What a big girl." "Tomorrow we're going to yours and mommy's new home." "You're gonna get a brand-new room."

"Goo." Lexie said.

A few hours later John put Lexie to bed. Juliette was sitting in bed writing an article on her laptop.

"Lexie's out like a light." John said.

"Good." Juliette said not looking away from the screen. She didn't notice John strip down to just his boxers.

"Baby." He said as he inching closer to her.

"Yeah?" Suddenly she felt his lips against her neck.

"Honey I gotta finish this." "Ahhh, that feels good."

"Finish it tomorrow."

"It's due tomorr-mmmm." She moaned against his lips as he kissed her. She put the laptop on the nightstand and stood up. "Sit down." He sat where she was sitting. She straddled him. They kissed. He took off her pajama top. He groaned into her mouth and she grinded against him. He took of her pajama bottoms. She took off his boxers and slid into him moving slowly. "John." She moaned. "God I've missed this." He groaned. "Me to." They kissed. John picked Juliette up and laid her down underneath him. "Ohhh." She moaned when he slipped inside her. Juliette loved the feeling of John making love to her again. She wanted it to be like this forever. He started moving faster. "John." "Uhnn." He groaned. He looked at her. "I love you… They kissed. …so much." "I love you too." "Mmmmm." She moaned and her hands gripped his ass. "Ohhh, John, yes, ohhh, oh my god." "Ohhh." She moaned giving in. "Juliette." He groaned giving in.

He was holding her.

"Well I'd say we haven't lost a step in that department." John said smiling.

"Definitely not."

"Are you excited about tomorrow?"

"Yeah."

"Good." "What about you?" He asked as he rubbed her stomach. "Are you excited?" "I know I'll only be your stepdaddy but I love you just the same as I love your sister."

"That's sweet."

By the middle of the afternoon everything she moved into Juliette's apartment. She and John were sitting on the couch.

"Thank you." She said. She kissed him. "Without you I couldn't do any of this."

"It's no problem." "I'm happy to do it."

"I love you." "I promise nothing is going to stand in the way of us being together this time."

"I love you too." They kissed.

Rick was in his house. A few workers had just come up from his basement.

"You're all set." One of them said. "Your basement is completely soundproof."

"Good." "Thank you." "How much?"

"A thousand dollars."

"Take a check?"

"Yes sir."

"You're sure it's completely soundproof?" Rick asked as he was writing out the check.

"Yes Sir." "You could kill someone down there and no one would hear a thing." He said jokingly.

"That's funny." "That's just want I had in mind." He thought.
