The next day had to start at some point sadly and instead of Lily on top of Olly screaming in his face, it was the painter at five am. FIVE AM IN THE MORNING!!!!! He was coming to finish off the room with the giant stickers and shelving. Callie and I designed it so when baby brother got a little older it would still be age appropriate.

He was making noise in the room right next to mine as Olly woke up to jump in bed with me. Lily woke up and before we could take her to her room last night she wanted to go with Callie. I also have a meeting to attend in an hour. They called me last night to tell me this. The only reason I agreed to this meeting was because Olly would be with his friends for a playdate, but I'm not allowed to call it that, he calls it childish, he definitely got it from Lily. Don't tell him I said it.

"Olly baby, you gotta get up." I tapped his shoulder. I was sitting up reading a book, it was a really good book, it was about a girl who was sent to a new high school. It's very interesting. So off topic.

He pushed my hand away and pulled the covers over his head. He doesn't know it yet, but he's just like his father, when he did that I remembered the first time waking up next to Damian.

Flashback...

"Babe, you have to go to work," He just doesn't wanna wake up, "You're gonna get fired."

He laughed and pulled the covers over his head.

"Babe, the honeymoon is over." I tapped his covered shoulder.

"First I'm the boss, and second the honeymoon is never over." He said under the cover.

"It's 7 o'clock."

"And?"

"I love you."

End of flashback

"I love you Olly, you know that right?" Tears came out of my eyes as he removed the cover and turned to look at me.

"Yeah, what's wrong with you mommy?" He asked.

"Nothing at all, do you want to meet your dad?"

"No, I'm cool." He smiled and turned back.

"That's all I needed baby," I kissed his cheek, he almost got me there.

"But you still have to get up," I got off my bed as he whines. He wanted to meet his father since he could comprehend English. That, "no, i'm cool" isn't going to work on me. "Lyle Oliver get up." I walked out of my room and went to the kitchen. Callie should be on her way with Lily. If Olly's not dressed by then, then she'll have to take him, or he'll be getting a lesson from aunt smart mouth.

I pour his cereal and milk and head back up the stairs. He was in his room getting dressed, smart.

"Mrs. Willis, do you want the shelf high or in the medium level of the room?!" He yelled from the room.

"Higher, I don't want him to get taller and start grabbing stuff, my sister will be here to help you too." I said going to my room to get dressed. Once I was done there was a knock on the door, or course it was Callie. She came in with Lily and I left.

When I got to the office I saw Kinley cleaning off her desk.

"Kinley can you get the room ready for the meeting?" I asked walking in to my office sitting in my chair.

"Um Dia," She came in.

"Oh I'm so sorry, I need to get the binder," I reached under the table but it was gone. "Where's the H.C. binder?"

"That's what I was trying to explain to you, the Harding Cameron binder is already in there because they're already in there." She slowed the last couple words.

"WHAT?!" How could they be here before me. It's 6:02 in the morning, "When did they get here?"

"About 5:20, but they left and then came back about six minutes ago." She whispered.

I got up and speed walked to the office room, when I got there they were just sitting on their phones.

"Hi I'm so sorry, I didn't know you guys were coming so early." I said sitting in my chair.

"Oh it's fine, I love the venues." Grace smiled at Blake then me. Blake smiled at me and Damian was on his phone.

"Me too, it's her day." Blake blurted out.

"Damian, did you see the binder?" Grace asked trying to slide the binder in front of him on the table but his phone was so close to his face he didn't notice.

"As Blake said it's your day." He didn't look up from his phone.

"Hey um Mr. Harding may I speak with you outside of the room please?" I stood up.

He's just being a brat. I know this little thing he does when he's annoyed or being a baby.

"As soon as you say my name." He looked up from his phone to see me glaring at him.

"Mr. Harding, hall now." I said leaving the room. He soon followed just like Olly. I went around him and calmly shut the door before yelling at him.

"What?" He asked in a strong voice which was meant to scare me but I've been through too much to be scared at a voice, like childbirth, I thought Lily was hard, no Olly was the real monster. He came out kicking, the best and worst day of my life.

"Would you stop acting like a 5 year old? It's not all about you,?!" I whisper yelled remembering the door aren't titanium.

"Why are you treating me like a client Dia?" He ask back.

"Because you are, you're paying me Damian, as soon as this wedding is over we won't have to see each other any more." I finished.

"Do you still love me?" He asked, my heart dropped. Why in the world would he ask me that? Why would he put me in this situation? He divorced me, he broke my heart, he hit me where it really hurt.

"You know what, you act like a 5 year old and see if I care." I said trying to get passed him but he grabs my waist and pull me into him, chest to chest, eyes to eyes, heart to heart.     

"I'll ask you a second time Dia,"

"Damian let go," I whisper yelled pushing away from him unsuccessfully, "You're so smug, you know that right?"

I push at him harder but there was no use, he was physically stronger than me, he made me know that he wasn't going to let go until I answered that stupid question. But I made sure I kept my arms up on his chest so I had some leverage too.

"Dia, do you still love me?" He asked again as I gave up breathing fast from anger.

"You divorced me, you kicked me out, you did all that crap to me and expect me to love you still?" I teared up, he is so stupid, "let go Damian."

He looked into my eyes as I looked down to wipe them. When I looked back up he leaned in and kissed me.
