Billionaire Baby Deal

Billionaire Baby Deal - Chapter 9

Excitement set in as I made my way to meet Dr. Gardener. Today we were going to see our babies again on screen to determine how my pregnancy was going. It would be the first time seeing them since our initial shock.

The last few weeks hit me hard in pregnancy terms. Most days I found myself unable to leave the bathroom from either being sick or needing to urinate.

Over the course of the first few weeks, I'd been hit hugely with heartburn as my belly began to grow. Now, I had a pretty rounded bump that was growing harder to hide.

Last week I found myself unable to fit into some of my clothes I'd bought previously with Bobby and broke down in tears. Hormones ablaze, Diego instructed Bobby to take his card and buy me a new wardrobe as a surprise.

When Bobby came flouncing in singing "Everlasting Love" with hundreds of bags, he smiled cheekily at me and said, "Honey, I feel like Pretty Woman!"

Bobby began going through his purchases, revealling plenty of pretty stretchy maternity clothes declaring that by the powers vested in him, and him alone, I would be the most fabulous baby mama on this island.

I blushed as Bobby wiggled his eyes and began throwing lingerie at me "all for Diego's benefit" in Bobby's terms.

"Baby doll, make sure you're waters don't break in this!" Bobby held up a particular naughty baby doll sending my face aflame.

Later, we sat outside enjoying non alcoholic cocktails as Bobby gave his blow by blow of emotions as he told me how it felt when Diego placed that card in his hands.

I had really come to love Bobby. He was exactly what I needed and later on this evening, I'd arranged a double date between myself, Diego, Bobby and Nicolas.

Diego met me at the Hospital and greeted me with a kiss, "You look lovely today, Gatito."

A smile spread across my face as my cheeks blushed a little. Things between Diego and I had been going great the last few weeks. He always made me feel beautiful. We had settled into a friendly relationship where he'd always kiss my cheek in greeting. We never spoke about our night together. He never kissed me again.

I found myself wanting to spend more and more time with Diego, needing to be around him.

We'd settled into a routine where Diego would make sure that from nine pm he was unavailable to the outside world. We'd talk for hours and he'd tell me about how things were going at the aquarium.

It was nice.

Most nights, I felt a spark between us again and I'd refrain from touching him, scared to ruin the bond we were forming as friends. Most nights, I'd go to sleep wishing to taste his mouth against my own again.

I desired Diego.

I wanted - needed - more.

He'd lit a fire inside me that left me blazing for more.

"Thank you," I took the offered arm and looked up into his own excited silver eyes. "Let's go meet our babies again."

Dr. Gardener greeted us at the doors of the hospital with a warm smile on his face. "You look glowing, Miss Knight. Pregnancy suits you."

Dr. Gardener shook Diego's hand warmly and then my own, his twinkling blue eyes warm and gentle. He proceeded to show Diego and myself the updated maternity ward that had been converted into handling a triple pregnancy.

We met and shook hands with the team of consultants who would assist in delivering our children. I was hit with the sudden knowledge that these nine consultants had my babies lives in their hands.
