Chapter-17 6 Months Pregnant

Alexa POV:

This pregnancy has been the polar opposite from the twins I'm carrying much smaller which is a good sign as to not having multiples. I request an ultrasound as oft as I can just to be sure and nope not twins thank the lord for that. However we did decide to find out the sex this time around though so tomorrow is the big day and truthfully I can't wait to start doing the nursery I loved it with the twins. 6 months pregnant and I'm craving butter pecan ice cream again so I really think it's a boy this time cause Jace has me turning into a batch a ice cream and to this day it's still his favorite where as my Jacey loves a good honey bun now and again. So I'm officially team boy where as Colton is team girl. He said this house needs more women not men. My phone rings on I'm bought out of my thoughts looking at the caller id says Robbie so I answer when he said he wants to meet up at the diner with me and the twins so I agree and I'm really excited about him finally meeting his niece and nephew after so long. I pull up to the diner and get out of the car just as I'm about to open the back door to get the twins when I hear my brother say he would get them so I move to the side and allow him access. We talk for a while he congratulates me and hand the twins two gift bags full of toys and clothes. As we part ways we hug and say our goodbyes and I'm on my way to the office to surprise my husband with lunch.

Colton POV:

Sitting at my desk when my door burst open and the sweetest sound my little princess screaming DADDY!!! I can't help but smile. My wife hands me lunch and I take a break to chat with her she informs me of the ultrasound appointment we have tomorrow morning to find out what we are having and truthfully I'm so exited to find out. Before we know it a whole hour has passed and the twins have fallen asleep so I walk her out I can't lie though I've missed her around the office but we agreed for her to stay home with the kids because she is still refusing to hire a nanny. So I was forced to hire a new assistant and so far she is working out just fine, however, I can't help but notice the look she gives my wife as we're walking out to her car, and it caused me to raise an eyebrow at her and she quickly goes back to sorting files.

Alexa POV:

I knew he had to hire a new assistant since I won't be going back to work anytime soon but truthfully I wish he would've hired a guy. I trust my husband completely I know he would never hurt me in any way, but I can't help but to get weird vibes from his new assistant I caught her giving me the evil eye on more than one occasion which is not sitting well with me. She better watch out or she'll be out of a job before she can side eye me again. Once home I put the twins down for a nap and began planning for dinner.

Colton POV:

I page my assistant to my office for the files and in she struts with a little more sad than I would've liked but who am I to judge. As she places the files on my desk she bends over showing off her cleavage and I scoff at the gesture. She stops on her way out turns to me and said can I ask you a question boss and I reluctantly agree and she sits and crosses her legs and sighs and said are you happily married to her? I can't help but to give her a stern look and she continues with her thought and said have you ever had an affair? That was the question of the hour and I grunt and give her my undivided attention as I began and say my marriage is none of your concern and if you plan on keeping your job you'll do well to keep my wife and family out of your mouth from this moment on! She quickly gets up and storms off which leaves me satisfied. Once I have signed all necessary papers and I'm done with meeting I tell Marla to head home and I lock up and can't wait to get home to my wife and kids.
