A year later
Brax and I had been dating for over a year now and we were better than ever. I had managed to get the girl to drop the charges after showing her the security footage and all the evidence that proved she was lying. Ruby was still dating the guy from her office and I was positive they were going to get engaged soon. As for Heath, he never inferred with Brax's and my relationship. Him and Brax weren't as close as they once were but he supported our relationship and was always civil towards us. Brax and I had decided to move in together soon after we got back together. It seemed right seeing as I was at his place all the time and my office was just across the road. Turned out being with Brax didn't interfere with my career at all. Brax had gotten really strict about who he let into the clubs and the type of security he had at the door, which took the pressure off my job if anyone tried to sue him or blame him for anything.
"Ok, I'm off to work!" I yelled out to Brax in the bedroom who was just about to go to bed after coming up from a night at the club.
"Do you have to? Just stay for like 10 minutes" I walked into the bedroom to find him taking off his jeans.
"I'd love too, but I have 2 divorce cases to settle today" I mumbled, kissing his lips.
"Convince them that they love each other and it'd be best for everyone including your boyfriend that they get back together immediately." He mumbled also against my neck.
"I have a feeling that won't go down too well…Brax I really have to go" I finally pulled away.
"Ok but tonight before I go to work…you, me and those magnificent breasts of yours…I swear they look bigger lately" He chuckled, looking at my chest.
"You are such a perve!" I hit him playfully before leaving. I got to the office only to find my first client there waiting.
"You look a little flushed, are you alright?" Leah asked as I walked in.
"Yep…fine!" I rushed into my office. After a bit of discussion with my client I suddenly had to rush to the bathroom with the urge to vomit. This had been happened for the past couple of weeks so it wasn't anything new. "Are you alright Charlie?" My client, Mrs Lang walked into the bathroom only to find me with my head in the toilet bowl. She held my hair back before I finished and stood up. I walked over to the sink and washing my face before looking at myself in the mirror. "I am so sorry you had to see that…that was so unprofessional of me" I shook my head.
"No, no its fine. So how far along are you?" She smiled knowingly.
"10 weeks…a little too late to back out now" I chuckled.
"Wow…your partner pleased about this?" She smiled.
"I haven't exactly told him yet" I continued.
"I remember when I told Richard that I was pregnant with our firstborn Georgina…he was so happy. I'll never forget the smile on his face. We'd been trying for years and then it just happened. It was like a miracle" I could tell she was feeling nostalgic.
"Do you really want to do this? The divorce I mean" I asked her.
"Not really no…I just felt so betrayed and all the lies he told me about his business. I just wanted to get back at him. I mean I still love him" She sighed.
"Well go tell him that before this starts to get messy" I laughed.
"I will if you go tell your boyfriend about this" She placed a hand on my relatively flat stomach.
"Deal" I laughed before we walked out of the bathroom together.
"Leah can you call Mr Henning and tell him our appointment will have to be postponed until tomorrow…I have a few personal things I have to deal with" I nodded before grabbing my handbag and heading home. I walked in the door and rushed to the bedroom only to find Brax sound asleep. Smiling to myself I kissed his forehead before walking into the bathroom to brush my teeth and get this sick taste out of my mouth. I got changed into some sweatpants and a hoodie before pulling up my top and looking at my bare stomach in the mirror. This was going to change our lives and I didn't know whether Brax would be happy or annoyed. We hadn't really discussed marriage and children, let alone thought about it. I pulled down my top and got some files out of my bag so I could work from home.
"Hey, what are you doing home early?" Brax walked out, slipping a t-shirt over his bare torso, several hours later.
"I was sick at work and decided to come home" I smiled.
"Hopes it not contagious…cause I can't keep these lips of yours" He leant down and kissed me.
"Its not" I smiled before watching him walk into the kitchen to get something to eat.
"So I didn't tell you this, this morning cause I wanted to think it over, but I had a dream that made me think, this is what I want to do…I'm thinking about selling two of the clubs. Just the two downtown ones and then keep this one" He nodded. I looked at him slightly in shock. "What?" He asked confused.
"You love the clubs" I stated.
"Yeah I do, but I think ones enough. I mean, I've been branching out into event and hotel managing anyway, so I thought why not start that now. In a few years time we're probably going to have a nice big house, maybe get a dog…I don't want to be stuck in these clubs for the rest of my life, I want more than that. I want to give you more than that" He continued.
"What about kids?" I asked, curiously.
"Yeah if you want kids then we can have kids…as many as you like" He laughed.
"Its not about what I want, its about what you want" I stood up and followed him into the kitchen.
"Charlie…what ever makes you happy, makes me happy. I would love to have a few kids running around, and I know that a club is not the right environment for that" He placed his hands on my hips.
"There's something I need to tell you" I looked down at my feet before looking up into his gorgeous eyes. "That plan for the house and the dog…might not have to be put on hold for a few years…because I'm pregnant Brax" I told him, unsure of how he would react.
"Really?" He looked at me in shock.
"I'm sorry" I looked at him sadly.
"Charlie, that's amazing news….we're going to be parents" He grinned, placing his hands on my cheeks and kissing me.
