Padgett Eve
I was currently in our clutching my phone tightly in my hand while my head was hurting. I couldn't decide on which emotion to stick on. I was way to happy for the baby. I was even Happy that it was of Sebestian's becaise despite all the things he has done I can never doubt that he will fail to protect this baby or me. But I was worried about weather he will accept this baby or not. I was angry at myself for feeling this way and I wa tensed because even if Sebestian accepted this baby, there will be other's who would want to harm the baby. I still remember Antonio's words. He said everybody was waiting for a chance to hurt Sebestian, his family. Trying hard to clear my mind I dialed Kate's number, I needed for someone to know, and I couldn't think of someone better.
"Are you pregnant?" Was the first thing she asked when she picked up the phone.
"Yes." I said. Sebestian was in his study but I was still careful.
She screamed so loud on the other side that I had to close my eyes and keep the phone away from my ear if I didn't want to make myself deaf.
"I am going to be an aunt." She said and I was sure that she was jumping with excitement. I smiled and placed my hand on my belly.
"What was Sebestian's reaction?" Was the next thing she asked and my smile dropped.
"I haven't told him yet." I said quietly still careful of anyone.
"Doesn't he want kids?"
"I don't know." I said still trying to find a way to visit the doctor.
"Can you help me?" I asked when I thought of something.
"Anything."
"Can we please meet up tomorrow?"
"Sure." She said and I hoped everything went according to my plan. We hung up the phone after discussing the plan for tomorrow.
Judging on the basis of today, covincing him tomorrow won't be a problem. I can visit to a doctor tomorrow with Kate. I just hope everything is fine and goes like I want. I can't risk my child's life.
Thinking of tomorrow, I went to find Sebestian.
"Is Sebestian in his study." I asked one of the maids because if yes, I wasn't allowed to go in there.
"No ma'am. Mr. Knight is in the pool area." She said and I started moving outside to the the pool but stopped when she again called me.
"He's in the indoor pool area, ma'am." She said making me internally groan. Why did he need two pools, when he was the only one living?
I just gave her a smile and she went away not before answering my question to where the indoor pool was.
I made my way towards the fourth floor where the indoor pool was. On following her directions I finally found it, making a mental note to tell Olga to provide me with a full house tour again.
I entered the indoor pool and looked around in awe ignoring the real reason for my presence here. It was beautiful.
It had a large window covering the whole roof, the window gave a beautiful view of the sky. The pool was large and placed in the middle of the vast room. It looked deep and the color of the water was dark blue, due to the lights of the room and the color of dark sky which entered through the roof. There were many doors on one side of the pool room which I reckon are the shower room. In the middle of the pool was Sebestian, looking as hot as ever. He just wore a pair of black swimming shorts which left his perfect body to display, I can't get used to the sight no matter how much I see it.

"Sebestian." I called making him stop in the middle of pool. He surely was confused having me there but then he suddenly smirked making me shock. He was planning something and I could hope that he isn't up to something which can cause trouble.
He slowly walked towards towards the end of the pool, he didn't come out.
"You need something?" He asked still with his smik making me gulp. And from what I have learned about about him I can see that the wheels in his mind are running, planning something wicked. However, I decided to ignore it and ask my question.
"Yeah, I wan-"
"Join me." He said cutting me off. Why couldn't I predict him saying something like this?
"What?" I said, confirming with him if I heard him correctly.
"You heard me." He said. And I did hear him correctly.
I was going to protest but he again said, cutting me off.
"You said you wanted something." He said and I just sighed. I could never win him. Never. I thought about it for a few second, biting my lip, was it really worth giving into his request? It was my baby, so it was. I sighed and stepped towards the pool ready to go in but stopped when he said,
"Without your clothes." He added.
Urgg. This man was making it difficult. I sighed in relief that I was wearing undergarments. I took of my t-shirt and shorts leaving me in just my red lace bra and panties. I blushed because Sebestian was just staring at me with a dark lustful look in his eyes.
I stepped towards the pool, and Sebestian offered his hand as I walked down the stairs to the pool. I was extra careful and held his hand tightly.
The pool was a bit deep for me as my body following waist was completely dipped in the pool, my hair which reached lower than my waist were also dipped. I was close to Sebestian and somehow his body managed to be provide me warmth even inside this pool which I believe is cold.
Sebestian took my hands and wrapped them around his neck as his hands snakes around my waist. We were close, very close to each other and it made me feel good. His forehead was resting on mine as my fingers played with the hair on the nape of his neck. My eyes were closed and I completely forgot everything. It was just me and him. And he may not know but I was happy with the fact that there were the three of us, together.
"Sebestian." I asked slowly while he just hummed response. We did nothing but just stood in the middle of the pool doing nothing but still my breathing was heavy. It got even heavier the moment he moved his head from my forehead to my neck. He was inhaling my scent and placing a few wet kisses there. It was all so beautiful, the moonlight reflected in the water, his hair were wet making him look hundered times hotter than he already was, water dripping down his chest and abs his head in the crook of my neck with his arms wrapped hilding my hips while my arms were wrapped around his neck, my fingers constantly combing his wet hair which were present on the back of his head.
I hoped we could stay like this forever, but the reality was bitter. There were people who weren't willing to let us be happy. I was still scared of his reaction for when he learns that I'm pregnant. Just thinking about that made me happy and sad at the same time.

"Can I meet Kate tomorrow?" I asked snapping out of my thoughts. Hearing my request he didn't say anything for a few moments but just took his head out of my neck after a few minutes of silence. Suspicion was evident in his expression. He just raised an eyebrow at me.
"Please?" I said, now caressing his skin which was present at the back of neck. He just sighed and nodded. I was shocked and happy at the same time. Shocked because he agreed so easily and happy because he did.
I just flashed him a genuine smile and rested my head on his shoulder, while he just pulled me closer clearly enjoying it.
"Thanks." I said and he just kissed my head.
"Let's get out." He said and placed a hand on my thigh wrapping my legs around his waist, picking me up as we walked out of the pool towards the shower room.
The shower room was beautiful, covered with dark green marble tiles, and glass wall with a huge roof shower head. The shower room was similar to the bathroom of our room, just the bathroom of our room was a lot bigger with black marble tiles.
We were both standing beneath the shower head when he turned the shower on, he just ran his hand through my long hair giving them and my body a quick wash before doing the same with his. When his hands came in contact with my belly I felt butterflies there knowing that his baby was in there, though he was unaware if that fact. Yet.
He wrapped my body in a fluffy white robe. I mentally thanked God that it wasn't black, because I was kind of tired from that color, seeing it everywhere in his house was a reasonable excuse. But it shocked me knowing that he had a closet of his spare clothes here. Why did he need that?
He came back dressed in his trousers and a T-shirt while he also dressed me in one of his T-shirt. It was long enough so bottoms weren't needed for me. I didn't protest this time, not because I was scared of his reaction, bit because I like it. I liked to see how he cared for me and handled me gently. I see how he has changed, a bit, towards me. Thinking how he was when we first met and when he kidnapped me did scare me, but the outcome often made me smile. And right now I wanted to be happy, because he loved me. I didn't exactly forgave him for what he did, but I'm sure I can someday find it somewhere in my heart. I know I shouldn't but I can't help it.
He's bad for me, but I still want him.
All these things didn't shift my concern of what would happen if he learnt about the baby. Is he ready? Am I ready? These questions were tricky but I surely didn't want to harm my baby.
He held my hand as we walked down the hallways towards out room. It was a hectic day and I wanted nothing more than to just sleep. And that's what I did, as soon as my back touched the bed I closed my eyes and was ready to sleep, but my eyes suddenly shot open when a hand snaked around my stomach. Thinking it was danger to my baby, my body became tensed but after a few moments I realised that ot was Sebestian and I relaxed.
"Relax, it's me." He said and placed a kiss on my shoulder pulling me more into him making my back collide with his hard rock chest. It calmed me down and I held his hand which was wrapeed around my stomach, leaned more into his chest and slept.
That night I slept with happiest knowing that I had my baby, and my husband with me. But the constant worry of bringing my baby into such a violent world and Sebestian's reaction on our baby still lingered on my mind.
The next morning I got up in Sebestian's embrace. It was a suprise to me because by the time that I wake up he usually is out of bed. But today I woke up to sight of an icy blue pair of orbs staring at me. We stared at each for a few moments before Sebestian gave me a kiss on lips. It was soft and gentle. My hand went up to his cheek as I kissed him back and my gestures surely made him happy. He pulled me even closer to him by his hand which was behind my back. We kissed like that for a few minutes but I needed to pull back because I was running out of oxygen, so I pulled back but Sebestian had other plans, as soon as I pulled back Sebestian leaned in again capturing my lips with his.
"I need to go." I said once I managed to pull back and he just released an annoyed sigh before letting me go.
Once I was done with my morning routine, I stood infront of the mirror admiring my bare stomach. Today, I was going to be hundered percent sure of weather I was pregnant or not. I placed my hand on my stomach, caressing it. I was having a baby. I was having Sebestian's baby. The thought made me smile unconsciously, but I was still worried about all the other factors.
I quickly changed my clothes and the minute I stepped out of the bathroom I heard Sebestian yelling on the phone. He was completely dressed in his suit, indicating that he was going to the company. He wore a black fine tailored suit with a white shirt. His first two buttons were open and the coller of his shirt was inside the coat. He looked as fine and perfect as he always does but I snapped out of thoughts when I heard him yelling,
"It's your fucking responsibility to keep him in there. Now that he has escaped, bring him to me or I'll fucking slaughter you and your entire family instead of that motherfucker." He said through his gritted teeth making me shiver in fear. He was going to kill someone. He hung up the phone the minute he saw me and came towards me however, I stepped back.
"You're going to kill someone." I said shocked. I, myself, don't know why I am shocked when I saw him kill four-five men infront of me and beat a guy to death.
"Don't." Was all he said as he came forward again but I again stepped back maintaining the distance between us. If I was pregnant will he still do it? Or even worse will he kill me once he learns that I am pregnant?
"You're taking someone's life, again." I said holding my head because of the sharp pain in my head I experienced after getting this news. I was devastated, how could he do something like this? Where does all the humanity he shows me goes when he deals with others? All the emotions became more hilighted, which wasn't helping.
"Padgett." He called my name trying to calm me down as now I was also slightly shivering. He held my hands and caught my hands in a tight hold making me look in his eyes. But as soon as I looked in them I turned my gaze because I knew I would fail infront of him, again.
He continued to call my name a few times, trying me to get to face him but I didn't. At last he grabbed my jaw and faced my head towards him, but I still kept my eyes down.
"Padgett Knight." His voice, which was filled by authority and dominance came out calling my name and I couldn't deby it anymore. I submitted, like I always did.
"Don't kill him." I whispered as soon my tear-glistened eyes met with his. His hold fromy hands and jaw moved to cul my cheek. He wiped a tear which rolled down while my breathing was still heavy.
"You need to calm down." He said caressing my cheeks. I shook my head while I tried to steady my breathing. Seeing my struggle to calm myself down, he pulled my head in his chest. Trapping me in his warm and safe embrace. I held his forearm tightly as I tried to calm myself down. He kept kissing my head while I tried to swallow my sobs.
Him killing someone wasn't the sole reason for my tears. It was everything. My worry for my baby. Our baby. My constant change of mind of weather he was good or not. My worry for the child's life, I knew there were many people who were not ready to let me be happy. Father, Scarlett and maybe now Colton was one of them. All my concerns and anger came breaking down in the firm of tears, while he just held me. I still was not happy with the idea of him killing someone. A while later when my sobs died down and my breathing was steady he took my head out of his chest and again cupped my cheeks.
"Don't kill him." I quietly said, hoping he would understand.
"I don't want you meddling in my business, Padgett." He said, a bit stern. But he made it clear that no matter what I did, he wasn't going to change his mind, he left no room for any arguement as he grabed my hand and led me out of the room.
"I need to be at the company. The driver will be there if you want to go." He said as we walked down the hallways. I nodded, nervousness was over me all of a sudden when I listened that he was going to let me go. I was gambling with Sebestian, and I was doing it despite being aware of how dangerous it will be.
After breakfast, I still had time left before meeting up with Kate and I was nervous. I read a book, but it wasn't interesting, I tried and watched T.V. but that didn't catch my interet either. So then I decided to help in the kitchen. It was a bit difficult to get the kitchen staff to agree for me to help them, but a little persuasion always had it's outcomes. So now, I was helping Olga cut the fruits as I decided to have a honeyed fruit-salad. I was hungry though I had more than usual amount of breakfast. I was cutting the strawberries when I felt something rise up my throat and it didn't take long for me to acknowledge it and run towards my room.
I ran while pressing my palm to my mouth. I probably looked mad but I didn't really care right now. On reaching the bathroom I crouched down and threw all the contents of my stomach. It was disgusting, I felt sick. After emptying my stomach I rinsed my mouth, but the sick feeling still didn't go away. A few moments after exiting the bathroom Olga came rushing in the bedroom.
"What happened, dear? Are you alright?" She asked, worry was evident in her voice and features. I smiled at her caring nature and said,
"It's fine, I just had to make a very important call." I hated to lie to her but I didn't have any choice. She frowned for a while before smiling again and saying, "Your fruit salad is all ready, should I bring it here?"
"No. I'll come to the kitchen with you." She nodded and started to walk out while I followed her.
The salad was good, and the best part was that I didn't throw up. After having my salad I decided to meet Kate.
I was getting ready. I wore an olive green button-up shirt and black pants. I tucked in the shirt from front and paired it up with a comfortable pair of shoes. I applied my lip gloss and brushed my hair. After I was done and satisfied with my appearance I decided to go.
I was meeting Kate at a café and then we will be going to the doctor's clinic. The security team was also there, just like before making me roll my eyes. I was going through my phone when someone sat across the table. It was Kate and she was smiling. Her formal attire clearly stating that she came from her office.
"Hey!" She cheerfully said sipping on her water.
"Hey. Did I disturb you? You look like you straight came from the office." I said worried of she was inconvenienced by me. I didn't want to be the reason for someone to have any problem or miss something important.
"It's fine. Anything for my niece or nephew." She said exited as the day before on the call.
"We aren't sure yet." I said smiling. I liked that reaction towards my child as I wasn't expecting the same from everyone.
"Please, I know and I am sure of me being an aunt." She said squealing as she couldn't contain her excitement.
"Let's go." She saidas she stood up and took her bag and I did the same as we walked out of the door.
On reaching the clinic, my nervousness was reaching to its peak. My oalms were sweaty and my hands were shaking as I filled the form. We sat down waiting for my turn and it was not that crowded. Many women were there. Some were with a big tummy some were with the tiny bulge and some some were like me, waiting for confirmation. Many women came with their partner who were equally happy.
After a long waiting a nurse came out and called my name, "Padgett Knight." She called out checking her clipboard which she held. I stood up and Kate stayed behind but she told me, "Stay strong." And I nodded giving her a tight lipped smile as I walked in the examination room, following the nurse.
In the room I was met with the doctor. Dr. Clearwood. If I remember correctly.
After telling her my symptoms she prescribed me some blood tests and some other tests. After taking the test I was now waiting for the results while Dr. Clearwood came from the lab with my reports in her hand. She had a smile on as she sat down on her chair and typed something on her computer before facing me,
"Congratulations, Mrs. Knight. You are pregnant." She said as she handed me my reports.
I was really pregnant.
