"More fans want a more comfortable option, like clothing that you can just sit and relax in." Hayley says and I nod.

"How about a line filled with cardigans, gentle fabrics, sweatpants, cropped hoodies, comfortable and stylish?" I ask and the team nods.

"Guys, just cause I'm the boss doesn't mean you have to agree with everything I say, if you more suggestions, throw them out there." I tell them and the room laughs.

"Maybe like fluffy, or silky material?" Hayley says and I nod.

"I'll have a few sketches up by next week, then we can choose fabrics and colors," I tell them and they agree.

"Great, one more thing." I tell them.

"We're going to need maternity polls taken on social media, because this is my first time, so I'm not sure what the line will need." I say, smiling as they take in the words.

"No freaking way!" Hayley gasps.

"Congratulations!"

"Congrats!"

"That's amazing ma'am!" I smile at them.

"Thank you guys, although I trust every one of you, you will have to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement." I frown, hating like I made them think I didn't trust them, but Axton wasn't joking about the privacy of this. They all nod and get up after I dismiss them.

"Okay, graphics!" Hayley says and I nod, pulling my phone out to call Axton.

"Hey." he answers on the third ring.

"Hi, you okay?" I ask him, clearly noticing the stress in his voice.

"Yeah, just that asshole left without telling me, so I basically waited for nothing, not like he's worth anything." He mumbles and I chuckle.

"Okay, be safe okay?" I tell him again.

"I promise baby. I love you," he says and I smile, he never fails to make me smile.

"I love me too Axton." I joke.

"Oh yeah? That's what we're doing now huh? You'll pay for that later." he says.

"Yeah Yeah, I love you too." I tell him and we both hang up.

"Sophia! Graphics!" I hear Hayley yell all the way from the elevator.

I quickly walk over to the elevator as she hits the sixth floor. The graphics department."

"I can't believe you're pregnant!" she says and I chuckle.

"Yeah, me too," I mutter.

"What do you think it is?" she asks and I really don't have an idea.

"I'm not sure," I tell her as the elevator opens onto the sixth floor.

"And Axton?" she asks.

"He thinks it's a boy," I tell her and she nods.

"Thank God Sophia is here!" Madison, our head of the graphics apartment.

"Hi everyone." I smile at everyone around the table.

"Sophia, explain what you want the new cover to look like." I take a seat.

"Well, we've always had our neutral theme, so I want it to be original to that, but a bit different, same fonts, just a wider color scheme," I explain, but as I explain the only thing on my mind is pizza.

"Got it," Madi says and I get off my chair,

"Hayley, can you order a large pepperoni pizza?" I ask her and she nods, a bit confused.

"Sophia!" Amelia yells my name, running down the stairs, in her beautiful gown.

"There's the birthday girl!" I catch her as she jumps into my arms.

"Here's your birthday gift, but we can open it later okay?" I tell her and she nods.

"Thank you, Soph." I kiss her cheeks as she giggles.

"Where's Axton?" she asks and I frown.

"He'll be here, don't worry." I tell her placing her on the ground.

"Your dress is beautiful!" she giggles. I pass my hand over my gold dress, the theme of the party was gold.

"So is yours!" I tell her, holding her hand and walking through the mansion, decorated with gold and black balloons, so I see their event planner wasn't booked this time huh?

"Sophia, look at how stunning you are!" Eleanor says, walking down the stairs in a gorgeous black dress, may I age as fine as she did.

"Me? Eleanor look at you!" I chuckle, as she pulls me into a hug.

"Where's that handsome son of mines?" she asks and my heart just goes deeper into my chest.

"He isn't back,yet. He said he'll get here as soon as he can." I tell her and she sense my doubts and pull me back into her embrace.

"He's okay, I'm sure." I nod and pull away.

"Well, don't we all look stunning tonight?" Myra's voice flows into the air.

"Myra!" I run to her like a kid, hey, I missed her.

"Sophia you loom amazing, where's Axton?" she asks and I explain that he isn't back yet.

As the time goes, the space begins to fill with people and by the next hour, the space is filled. With everyone except Axton.

"Sophia! Look at the cool ballon the princess gave me!" Ameila shows me her balloon, that's twisted to look like a flower.

"That's pretty cool baby! Let's go get cotton candy!" I pick her up and walk towards the cotton candy machine.

"Sophia, you look beautiful." Amelia's adopted mom tells me.

"So do you," I smile at her, I'm so glad she's here.

"Two blue cotton candies please!" Ameila says for us both. I chuckle at how brave she is. I scan the room, everyone's here, Jace, Kiara wearing that damn necklace, Myra, Liam, my parents, Seb, Shyla, and her little bump! Everyone but Axton.

"Here you go-"

"Sophia," Seb walks up to me.

"Hm?" I ask him, taking the cotton candy from the lady.

"Uh, why the fuck did they send me to tell you?" I smack him because of all the kids around.

"Come on, " he tells me and I follow him, still holding Ameila.

He leads me to the living room, where is pretty clear of any guests.

"What's-"Eleanor walks up to us, tears falling from her eyes. She takes Ameila from my arms.

"Breaking News, billionaire Axton McKay's private jet was reported missing, sources tell us the jet had crashed about twenty minutes ago, five minutes after it was reported missing." My heart drops and breaks.

"No-" I mumble.

"No, he's okay." I mumble to myself, he has to be okay! I grab my phone and call his number.

"Pick up the phone, pick up the phone baby." I cry.

"Soph," Myra wraps her hands around me and I cry into her arms.

"He's okay, he's Axton, a crashed jet is not how we loose him." Loose him? I cry harder as she says the words.

"Sophia, baby don't cry!" My mom rubs my back, but Myra swats her hand away and replaces it with hers.

"Denzell, Denzell did this!" Eleanor cries.

"Oh Eli!" my mom rush to her.

"Myra, I- i- I can't loose him!"

"Hold on, we were just told Axton McKay has been found, he's safe and most likey at the hosp-" her words are cut off.

"Which one of you motherfuckers made my girl cry?" Axton walks in through the doors, in a suit. I break into more tears, God.

"Axton! Oh Thank you Lord." Eleanor rushes to him.

"I'm fin guys, I'm fine." he says, walking past everyone and pulling me away from Amyra. I literally jump onto him.

"I've never been so scared." I mumble, still sobbing.

"Shh, baby it's fine, I'm okay. " he kisses my forehead. He tries to move, but I grab him.

"Don't move!" I cry and he chuckles.

"I'm okay baby, thought I was gonna break my promise?" I don't reply I just hug him.

"Miss you in a dress like that? Never." he says and I chuckle.
