Chapter 42

Thank you so much for the reviews and support! I'm trying to get back to writing because it is fun and I do love it. Life has been crazy the past year or two but I hope things start to get easier.

Chris POV

After entering the club I immediately regret the decision to follow my girlfriend here. When I locate her dancing with Alex my blood starts to boil, I would love to take this belt I'm wearing to her bottom. I need to regain control of myself because I know one thing for sure, Jenn wouldn't be into that kind of play like Brooke was. For a second I think I should just leave instead of confronting them. I'm halted when I see Alex grind into my woman, laughing as he whispers into her ear. It pleases me to see that Jenn has put some distance between them and looks uncomfortable with his advances. I didn't expect these feelings for Jenn, she's innocent and everything good in this world. A perfect wife someday. Maybe it's best if I end things before things get too deep. I take one last look at her before exiting the club.

The next morning I do my normal routine of working out, shower, breakfast. Then I pack my bags for New York, I will stay at my place there for a while. I need a clean break. After saying my goodbyes to my family I head over to Jenn's to get this over with. This uneasy feeling in my chest won't go away, I will miss Jennifer but we are too different, like night and day. This can only end badly, better to cut it off now. I ring the door bell and anxiously wait for her to answer.

Jenn opens the door in a tank top and yoga pants, her hair is back in a messy bun and she doesn't have one bit of makeup on but she is looking beautiful as ever. She smiles, "Chris, come in babe. Are you hungry? I can cook us some brunch."

"Thanks but I've already had breakfast." I reply as I pull in her for a hug. I take in her perfect cinnamon vanilla scent that drives me wild. When I pull away she looks worried so I figure I might as well get this over with. It's now or never.

"Jennifer, we need to talk."

She looks at me wide eyed, "about what? Is this about that stupid argument the other day, because I'm totally over that?"

"No it isn't about that at all. I just think we want different things. I'm going back to New York. I'm not at a point in my life where I want a serious commitment and you deserve more than that." I explain hating every single word that is leaving my mouth.

She turns away from me wiping away tears "Seriously, then why the hell did you even start this relationship?! We started out just fooling around."

Damn it hurts to see her cry and get so upset. "It is what you deserve and I thought I would be able to give that to you but I was wrong."

"Just leave Chris!" She throws up her arms in a defensive stance.

"Fine but please don't hate me." I try to move in for hug but she moves out of reach.

"Don't touch me, just please leave me alone." Her pleading breaks my heart, the thought that she will hate me forever instead of realizing I'm just looking out for her by doing this now instead of later. I back up and exit her place without saying another word.

Phoebe POV

Waking up in Jay's big muscular tattooed arms this morning feels like everything is right in the world again. A darkness has lifted from my insides. My stomach growls reminding me that we skipped dinner last night and went straight to dessert which lasted into the late night morning hours. Jay wraps his arms around me tighter nibbling on my neck. "Good Morning Gorgeous"

"Good morning sexy" I playfully spank his behind.

He gets out of bed displaying his perfectly chiseled tattooed chest and I know I'm probably drooling. "Babe, I'm going to go pick up some breakfast. Is there anything you desire specifically?" I continue eye fucking my husband. He smirks staring just waiting for a coherent response to his breakfast offer. He laughs, "Pheebs, keep looking at me like that and we will never leave this room."

I raise an eyebrow, "Is that a threat or a promise Mr. Carter?"

"Mrs. Carter, you know it's a promise." He lunges pulling me in for a heated kiss. Soon enough we are naked and ready to make love again."

We halt when we hear a loud thump coming from down the hall. Lexie's room is downstairs so it must be coming Michael's room. The sounds are getting louder. When I realize the moans we hear are my little sister Christie's I put my hands over my ears, "Jay, we need to pack my stuff and get back to our place."

"Yes, I can't wait to get you back to our place, you are what makes it a home." He kisses my forehead then gets dressed. We spend the next 15 minutes or so packing all my clothes and belongings to take them back home. He picks up the bag from the pharmacy I picked up last night. Taking out the pregnancy test.

"You're late?" He asks sounding hopeful which scares me, we have been here before and only been disappointed every time.

"Yes, but I've been putting off taking the test because it hurts too much every time it says not pregnant."

His thumb softly caresses my cheek and he embraces me tightly, "Angel, it will happen my love. We are both healthy and really young. Let's take the test together, I promise either way everything will be okay."

We go into the bathroom down the hall to take the test then anxiously wait a few minutes to see the results.

I can't believe I'm seeing this right "Pregnant" I stare at the stick in shock. Both of our eyes are filled with happy tears. We leap to each other's arms squealing dancing around this bathroom in excitement.

Theo POV

Work today has been nonstop and I'm exhausted. I look at the time and can't believe it is already almost 8pm. It has been like this all week, been working so late that I've been having to eat dinner at the office. I hate missing dinner with Lexie but this is the life I've chosen and I will not let my father down or my family down. On the drive home I call my girl but she doesn't answer. I can't stand when she doesn't answer because I worry about her and my baby. I call Clark and he answers.

"Good Evening Mr. Grey."

"Good Evening Clark, where is Lexie?"

"We are at the label Sir, she is currently in a skype meeting with John and RJ."

"Has she had dinner already?"

"No Sir, she was working with Alex on a couple songs, then went straight into this conference call."

"Fuck, you are supposed to be looking out for her Clark. If you can't do your job I can find someone who will."

"Yes Sir, I understand I did try to order her dinner but she declined."

"Fine Clark."

I hang up and enter our Penthouse at Escala.

I go straight for some of my best whiskey taking a shot. Then I head straight to my study and get lost on working this deal I'm so close to closing. My cell rings and I pick it up without looking at the caller.

"Grey"

Lexie replies, "Well hello to you too Sexy."

"Sorry babe, I was caught up in some work."

"I'm on my way home. I love you."

"I love you too Lex."

I'm too exhausted to fight about the things that are frustrating the shit out of me, and there is no fucking way we can argue like we used to. Now before bringing up problems I have to carefully address them because I love our child and I don't want to add more stress. When I hear the elevator ding I exit my study and make my way over to my beautiful fiancé. We share an embrace with a brief kiss.

"What's on your mind Theo?" She asks picking up on my mood.

"Just a couple things have me concerned. You haven't had dinner and it is after 8? And why are you working so late?"

"I ate a grilled chicken sandwich on the way home. I know I have been super busy. Babe, the doctor didn't put me on bed rest or anything so there is no problem with me working. Everything is fine and the pregnancy hasn't had any complications."

I kiss her forehead, "Just be careful baby, if you feel exhausted or hungry please take care of yourself."

"Sweetie, I promise I will. Don't worry so much. It isn't good for you…." She tugs on my tie and kisses me passionately. After a minute she takes a breath and continues "What would be good for you is getting out of this suit and making sweet love to your fiancé before she passes out?"

I kiss and suck on her neck and Groan, "Mmm baby that will be my pleasure."

We take turns undressing each other her tits are so much fuller, I'm tempted to ask her to let me fuck them. I decide to save that for another night when we both aren't so tired. I start out by kissing every inch of her perfect body but she whines begging for me to put it inside her already. I guess she doesn't need any foreplay. We have some of the hottest sex. Afterwards we are both blissfully satisfied and I'm holding her in my arms.

She laughs, "I'm hungry again baby."

"I'll get you something, what would you like?"

"Fried pickles and ranch."

"Baby, how about cucumbers and ranch?"

"Theo, Is this your way of saying that I'm getting fat?"

I laugh, "Are you serious right now?"

She pouts, "You do think I look fat."

"You look perfect! I will have Wilson pick up some fried pickles from one the local pubs. Do you want anything else to go with that beautiful?"

"A chocolate milkshake sounds good." She smiles like I would if she had just said she wanted to go another round. I make the call to Wilson and he chuckles stating he would gladly pick up those items for Lexie.

I lean down to kiss her belly, "Anything my baby wants, my baby will get."

"You mean our baby, TJ isn't just yours babe."

We both laugh, "No way we are naming him TJ or Theodore."

Lexie pouts, "Why it is perfect? I love it."

I chuckle "We will save this conversation for later."

So whatcha think? What do you want to see happen?
