Chapter 253
Nicol
When I woke up the following morning, I knew Nicolas left very early because the smell of his cologne was just faintly in the air still. I hoped I’ll see him to remind him of our OBGYN appointment today but clearly; I needed to get ready to go to the office and tell him myself and maybe we can grab something to eat before we go to the doctor’s appointment. When I got to the office I was pleasantly surprised with the fact that Nicolas did remember and he was actually on his way to come and get me from home. Nicolas was really taking this pregnant serious not to mention our wedding I don’t want to know how much he paid for the Plaza to get that cancelation, but I’ll take it. We all were still standing in the entrance of his office when Nicolas said he had more good news, I don’t know what it could be because we are getting married in a month that is what he accomplished today and he remembered about the OBGYN appointment what more can I ask for. “I’m going to leave Nicolas.” Jason said. “No problem.” “Remember I’m taking Kayla with me.” “Yes, yes we didn’t forget now leave before I change my mind.” Nicolas told him while I walked to the coach in his office and took a seat. “Sweetheart we need to leave to.” “First tell me the other good news.” “I have a better idea let me show you.” He walked to his desk and grab a piece of paper; he walked back to me and gave it to me. I turn the piece of paper around and there in color is Anton and Karen with huge smiles and Karen was wearing an engagement ring. “No this can’t be?” I said totally shocked. “Oh, but it is.” “Are you serious?” My smile must have grown I could feel it Nicolas’s plan worked. “I’m 110% sure, I spoke to my PI and apparently Anton has been made CFO of her father’s business, he won’t get out of marrying her now Nicol, that family is into deep shit and Anton will have to pay with his life if he wants to get away from Karen now?” “Oh my…. You think you should have done that?” “Yes, I’m not even feeling guilty about it, it’s not my fault his greed got the better of him.” “Well then it is good news and we can let the journalist know he can go ahead with our engagement announcement.”
Nicolas came to sit next to me looking very serious. “I was thinking, today is our 3rd mouth checkup can’t we announce everything together?” “You want to announce the pregnancy to the world?” I asked a bit shocked I knew it will happen sometime but 3 months in I wasn’t so sure about that. But the hopeful look on Nicolas’s face made me say, “Does it mean this much to you?” “I can’t tell you how much I want to scream it from the roof tops sweetheart I want everyone to know.” I was quiet for a bit when he said “If you’re not ready then it’s okay.” “No, we can announce it with our engagement if everything is okay with the baby, I mean I’m already showing a bit, it will come out sooner or later.” He got up grabbed me under my arms and picked me up. “Thank you, thank you, Thank you sweetheart.” I kissed him before he put me down. “It’s a pleasure Nicolas.” He looked at his watch, “I guess we should go.” “Yes, we should, I thought there will be time for lunch before we went to the doctor but clearly with all the excitement there is no time now.” He took my hand and we walked out of his office, a few feet in front of us Jason was guiding Kayla to the lift with his hand on her lower back. I stopped in my tracks “What’s going on?” Nicolas asked confused. I pointed at Jason and Kayla, “Let them leave alone clearly there is something going on there.” “You think?” “I do.” “I have seen Jason look at Kayla even stare at her but I thought he will take it slow because of her pregnancy.” “That hand on the back of her back is not someone that wants to take things slow.” I told him. “Your probable right.” Nicolas said as he pulled me against his chest bend down and kissed me. I pulled away because all his staff can see us. “What are you doing?” He asked with his eyes half closed “Everyone can see.” I wanted to say but…. But he took my chin in his hand lifted my head and kissed me again, this time I didn’t pull away not until he did. It felt like he was kissing me for hours off course it wasn’t it just felt that way. When he finally pulled away, he took my hand and made our way to the lift. As we stepped in, he asked “I hope you are happy with The Plaza but that is the only venue we could get.” “What? Off course I’m happy with the Plaza it’s every girls dream to get married at the Plaza the boathouse in Central Park is a close second.” “You want me to try and get the boat house.” “No Nicolas I’m very very happy with the Plaza.” Geoffrey was waiting for us in the garage, Herman was also there, so Nicolas told Herman to ride with us and leave the other car at the office.
I was quiet the whole way to the doctor’s office. Nicolas was excited I on the other hand was scared, scared that there could be something wrong with my baby. I knew it was normal for any mom to be scared but this this was something else, I had a funny feeling something is wrong and I didn’t like the feeling. I was keeping positive for Nicolas’s sake but I was scared shitless.
