A/N: I only own the OC.
Thanks for reviewing!
I held Jodi tighter as she cried. I really didn't know how to react. She had been pregnant... did I even want children? Did she want children? Were we really that serious?
"I'm sorry." She mumbled again and brought me back to reality. I placed a kiss to her forehead.
"I am thankful that you are ok." I finally said as she looked at me. I carefully wiped away her tears.
"Did you know you were pregnant?" I asked her after a minute.
"I did." She said and I sighed.
"Why didn't you tell me, princess?" I asked her and she buried her head in my shoulder again.
"I was scared of how you would react." She finally said and I kissed the top of her head.
"I want you to be able to tell me anything." I said and she nodded.
"Are you mad at me?" She asked me and I looked down at her.
"No... I never even thought about you getting pregnant. I don't know how I would have reacted... I am happy with you, and I love you; but that never entered my mind that it might happen." I said.
"How far along we're you?" I asked her.
"I got pregnant one of the last times before we broke up." She said and I felt my eyes go wide. She was further long that I realized.
"Princess, next time please tell me these things." I finally said and she nodded.
"I made dinner." I said and she nodded.
"Thank you." She said and I nodded.
"Can I shower before we eat?" She asked me and I nodded.
"Will you join me? I don't want to be alone." She said after she stood up and stopped at the bottom of the stairs.
"Absolutely." I said and took her hand as I lead her upstairs. She seemed so broken right now.
Jodi POV
I looked in the mirror and sighed. I had lost some weight since I lost the baby, and I felt my clothes didn't look right anymore.
"You look amazing." Dexter said and I sighed. I had tried on 3 different outfits. I was currently in a maroon halter maxi dress with black flat sandals. My hair was up in a bun and my make up was light.
"Really?" I asked him and he chuckled. He was in a black button up shirt with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows and a pair of grey jeans.
"Yes." He said and I finally nodded. I grabbed a black simple clutch and we walked over to Harry's. I knew that Dexter hated his step mom so I was surprised that he actually wanted to go through with this.
"Thank you." He said and kissed my temple as we walked up. We were taken to the upstairs balcony, which his dad rented out for just us, and they were already waiting on us.
"Dexter, Jodi... it's good to see you." He said and hugged both of us. I saw Dexter's mom and got a first hand look as to why he hates her. She was maybe my age, looked annoyed to be there, and her dress left little to the imagination.
"Jodi, this is my wife, Gia." He said and she pulled me in for a hug. I was surprised, but returned it.
"Dexter." She said and held out her arms. He sighed and hugged her. I watched as her hands slipped down his back before he pulled her off him.
We made it through dinner, and Gia was different. I would like to say she's nice, but I wasn't sure what she was by the time we left. Dexter all but ran us out of there when it was over with. He got us out on the sidewalk and kissed me.
"Thank you for doing that with me." He said and took my hand. We walked over to the Tini Martini Bar and sat on the patio. We ordered drinks and he sat there to hold my hand.
"Let's get away again." He said out of no where and I looked at him with a raised eyebrow. I wasn't expecting that.
"To where?" I asked him.
"Where do you want to go?" He asked me and I shrugged.
"I forgot you could go on trips whenever until I met you." I admitted to him and he chuckled.
"Can I surprise you again?" He asked me and I sighed.
"Let me talk to Elias about the club first." I said and he gave me a real smile.
We talked and sipped on our drinks until it was late. Dexter paid and we started back to my house. I was talking in the sights as we wandered past St George Street. I guess I probably did need a vacation. We got back to the club and I pulled Dexter inside. Johnny was happy to see us and Charlotte instantly hugged me as Austin took the stage.
"What are you doing here?" Charlotte asked me.
"We went out and just stopped in on the way home." I said and she nodded.
"You missed the fun." She said and I looked at her with a raised eyebrow.
"Elias had to kick a group out." She said and I groaned. I grabbed my beer and signaled to Dexter I was going to the back. He was talking to Johnny so he just nodded.
I walked to the back and got hi's from everyone as I made my way to the office. Elias was in there with an ice pack.
"I heard you had a good night." I said sarcastically and he chuckled when he realized it was me.
"Yeah, one group really really wanted Braun." He said and I smirked. We had dealt with drunk females who thought that if they paid enough they could just take the talent.
"One swung?" I asked him as I took in his swollen cheek.
"I could tell she had smacked a bitch or two." He said and I chuckled.
"Why are you here?" He finally asked me.
"We went to dinner and drinks. Dexter asked me to take another vacation again." I told Elias.
"So go. We have this." He said and I chuckled.
I talked to Elias a little longer before Dexter came to the back. We said bye to everyone and left to go back to my house.
"Ok, where do you want to go?" I asked him again.
"Seriously?" He asked me and I nodded.
"Dad had mentioned checking out property in Vegas." He said and I chuckled.
"Vegas it is." I said and he kissed me. Life has definitely gotten more exciting since Dexter came around.
