Amy's Pov

"Mark I don't think this one is going to work. It doesn't even cover my boobs!" I said walking into his office holding the top of my dress to my body.

"Nor, your belly. And looks extremely uncomfortable."

"Yes, it is!"

"There is one more I think will work but it's actually a pantsuit that when you are standing it looks like a dress."

"That sounds cute."

"I will have them bring it up."

He looked back at his papers.

"For this being the era of computers you do a lot of paperwork," I said walking closer to him.

"I can burn paper and the document will never exist, a computer I have to worry about them saving the documents."

"Oh, yeah."

I left the office heading to our bedroom. I changed out of the horrible dress staring at the dress I should be wearing. I put it on looking at myself in the mirror. It's a nice dress that does wonders on my figure, but my tummy shows. It's not that much but the girls will notice it so fast and tell everyone.  I threw the dress off and put my sweats on. These Cloak leggings are so comfy! I am probably going to live in these for the rest of my life.

I walked around the house for a little talking to some of the guys, they know I'm off limits after whatever happened to Clark, Pasty and Todd. I have an idea but I act like I don't know for Mark.

"Miss. Amy, is everything okay?" Carl asked me as I got to the bottom steps.

"No, but when is everything okay."

"Do you want to talk about it? I am a great listener."

"I don't even know where to start."

"Pick apart and work from there." He guided me to the kitchen that was filled with baked goods. "Mark's sweet tooth acts up when he is stressed."

"Can I have some?"

"Please do," Mark said walking into the room.

"I think I am going to call you a ninja," I said watching him grab two plates.

"That sounds about right." He chucked handing me a plate.

He filled his plate with cookies, cake, brownies, and some type of pudding, he kissed the top of my head then rushed up the steps.

"What is going to happen?" I looked at Carl.

"Right now, Mark is working hard to make sure everything goes smoothly. He is contacting everyone who needs to be contacted about the baby and making deals with them to keep their mouth shut. Some of those deals require him to make deals with others."

"Is it selfish of me that I just want to be in his arms all day?"

"No, you are scared, he makes you feel safe."

"Do we have to go to the party?"

"Yes, you are not big enough to hide."

"But you can tell I am with child?"

He sighed, "because you are so skinny, any bit of extra weight shows on you."

"So, that is a yes."

"Go with the pantsuit, the jacket on it will play a trick on the eyes and will hide your belly."

"Thank you."

I picked at some of the cookies not really wanting to eat, Carl got the hint and left me alone. I took my plate of brownies and half picked at cookies to the downstairs study, I curled up on the couch next to the fireplace.
