The sound of laughter could be heard as we all sat across the dining table and had our breakfast and by all I mean, Araima, Daisy, Emilia, Claudia, Isaac, Nyle, Josh and me of course.

And since there was not enough space on the dining table, me and Isaac were sitting on the top of the kitchen counter.

And as tomorrow was Monday, Araima and Daisy will be leaving for San Francisco in a few hours.

I smiled looking at everyone happily chatting with each other as if they are some old friends.

I rested my head on Isaac's shoulder and whispered, "Thank you."

He smiled down at me lovingly and then kissed the top of my head and wrapped his arm around my shoulder.

I looked at Nyle and saw him flirting with Emilia while she blushed. I lightly shook my head, he won't change.

I closed my eyes with my head still resting on his shoulder; I was so tired.

A minute later, with my eyes still close, I realised that the voices in the kitchen disappeared as everyone stopped talking suddenly and then I heard Nyle say, "Look at those two lovebirds!"

I suddenly opened my eyes to see everyone looking at us while Isaac gave a deadly glare to Nyle.

I groaned removing my head from his shoulder making everyone laugh including Isaac.

"You are going to make it up to us by taking us on a vacation", I was told by Emilia as we all were at the airport to drop Araima and Daisy, "and you will be paying for everything."

"Okay...okay...I understood."

Soon, we all hugged each other goodbye before Araima and Daisy ascended my jet.

I will miss them...but thankfully, I have Emilia and Claudia here only.

No, no, no...this can't happen.

I walked back and forth in my office's washroom with the pregnancy test in my hand. Positive.

I am pregnant.

Oh God!

I can't believe it!

I missed my periods and I did a pregnancy test and it turned out that I am pregnant.

Shit!

Am I happy or am I sad? I am not able to decide.

Should I be happy? Of course but...what about Isaac? What if he doesn't wants it?

Oh My God!

What should I do?!

Do I want to keep this baby? Yes.

Am I scared to tell this to Isaac? Yes.

Will Isaac be happy hearing about it? I don't know.

Does Isaac wants a child? I don't know.

How will he react to this? I freaking don't know!

I placed my head against the wall of the washroom as I started crying.

Why the hell I am so emotional?!

I should be happy about this but no, here I am crying!

I should go and tell this to Isaac, he deserves to know.

But...

No, I am not going to tell him right now. I will wait for a few days and first get it confirmed by a gynaecologist.

Someone knocked on the door and I jumped in surprise slightly.

I heard Josh's voice, "Thera? Are you okay?"

"Ye...yeah...I am...coming."

Wiping away my tears, I opened the door to see a worried Josh standing there.

"You have been in there for a long time; you sure you are ok?", he asked.

But I didn't reply as I gulped and picked up the pregnancy test from the counter and held it infront of him.

First his eyebrows furrowed in confusion then slowly his eyes widened in surprise.

"YOU ARE--", he was about to shout but I quickly silenced him by keeping my hand on his mouth.

When I removed my hand he said, "What?"

"Don't tell it to Isaac."

"But why?!"

"Please Josh, I don't know whether he wants it or not...I am just scared and I need to get it confirmed with a doctor first."

I discarded the test in the dustbin before going out and sat on my chair with my head in between my hands.

"But Thera...", he said standing next to me, leaning against the desk, "he needs to know; it's his baby too."

"Talk softly Josh and...I know he needs to know but...I am not yet ready to tell him, I just need time", I whispered.

"Are you happy?"

"Of course I am! You know I love children and to have my own is like... amazing, I can't describe it in words but I am not sure about Isaac..."

"Can you please fix my appointment with a gynaecologist?", I added.

"For today?"

"Yeah...as soon as possible."

He nodded and kissed my head whispering, "Everything will be fine."

And he left my office

I hope so.

"Congratulations Mrs Grayson, you are two weeks pregnant!", the lady doctor congratulated me and I gave her a sad smile.

So, it is confirmed, I am pregnant.

Happiness was coursing through every vein of my body along with a fear about Isaac being not happy about it.

But I thought that it would be much better to be happy right now cause even if Isaac doesn't wants it, I am keeping it. No matter what.

I am capable of raising my child alone also.

Wait...where did that thought come from?

Isaac has to agree... neither I am leaving this baby nor I am leaving Isaac, I love him more than anything else.

I drove back to the office, reaching there quickly before Isaac questions my absence.

On seeing me, Josh followed me inside my office.

Entering my office I saw Nyle sitting there already, tapping his fingers against my desk.

He smiled widely on seeing me.

Josh whispered, "I just blurted out to him that you are pregnant; he promised not to tell it to Isaac ."

"No problem."

"So", Nyle said standing infront of me, "is it confirmed?"

They both looked at me curiously and then I nodded happily at them and within a second they engulfed me in a bone crushing hug.

"You are smothering me", I managed to say and they quickly parted away.

"I can't believe it!", Nyle whispered shouted.

I agreed with him, "I can't believe it either."

"Don't you have your own company to manage?", as usual, all of a sudden Isaac spoke, his question directed towards Nyle.

We all froze. Did he hear us?

"I just came to ask Thera's permission for something", Nyle told Isaac.

My permission? For what?

"Umm...for what?", I asked him.

He smiled and I noticed a little blush on his face, scratching the back of his neck nervously, he said,"Would you mind if I take your friend, Emilia out for a date?"

He is kidding right?

"You serious?"

"Of course!"

"Then why the hell are you asking me, stupid!"

He didn't quite understand me but when he did, his happiness knew no bound.

"Yay, thanks!", He shouted happily pulling me for a hug.

"At least you found someone", Isaac rolled his eyes making Nyle pout sadly.

"Congratulations, bro", Isaac spoke sarcastically.

_________________________________________

Isaac was lying on the bed with his head resting in my lap while I sat there running my hand through his hair.

For the past ten minutes I am trying to gather some courage and tell Isaac about my pregnancy but, I am not able too; I just can't tell him right now.

It feels weird to think that I am going to be a mother and Isaac will be the father...we will have our own kid.

Children are so cute and innocent, their innocence really wins your heart, sure they can be annoying at times but...I love them.

I didn't realise that I was smiling until he said,"What are you smiling about?" Isaac tilted his head backwards to get a better view of me.

"Just random thoughts..."

He smirked, "About me?"

I rolled my eyes, "Who else I can think of?"

He got up and turned towards me, our faces inches apart.

"You shouldn't even dare to think about anyone else or I know how to punish you", he said huskily running his thumb sensually on my lower lip.

I leaned in closer to kiss him but he backed away immediately with a smirk and laid down on my lap again.

I groaned in frustration.

He spoke,"Did I leave you--"

Before he could finish, I bent my head down and placed my lips on his.

He was quite startled by my sudden action but then he smiled against my lips and kissed me back passionately as I grabbed his face with my palms.

It wasn't a deep kiss, just a short and a sweet one that leaves a tingling sensation on your lips.

When I pulled back, he had a smile on his face as he stared at me deeply making me blush and I sat back straight.

"We are going to Paris next week for a meeting with the French investors", he said after a minute.

"But why? I mean...you can go alone, why me?", I frowned.

"You know how important this meeting is, Larisa; you have to come."

"I don't want to go; I don't like Paris..."

"Oh really? How many times have you visited it?"

"Not even once because...I don't like it."

"Do you have some personal grudge against it?"

"Yes."

Paris. City of love.

Being the romantic person I am, I always dreamt of my boyfriend or husband or whatever to propose me infront of the Eiffel Tower and since I am already married and I can't ask Isaac to propose me, I don't want to go there.

"Larisa don't be childish, you are coming with me. And if you don't then I will drag you there", he said sternly.

"But Isaac--"

"My decision is final", he said getting up from my lap and went inside the bathroom.

Looks like I have no other option than to agree with him...
