To say the last 12 hours hadn't been a whirlwind would be like saying Transformers was good without Bumblebee! When were Sky and I just gonna be able to have smooth sailing? When would we be able to just breathe and get on with our lives. First Domien and now Ellie? What the hell next? 

NO! I can't think like that. Please God, nothing else.

This poor child was now in the middle of a possible web of lies and deceit and she was innocent. I couldn't hold it against her. It was the poisonous, evil, snake that was Ellie who is the issue. What the hell did I actually see in this woman that I wanted to spend 18 months in hell with her much less to try and propose?! 

Sky was pregnant, she didn't need the added stress. I was supposed to be protecting her, not adding to what we had already defeated. Shit!

Whilst in the shower, these are the things that kept running through my mind. As soon as I was out of the shower I decided to ring my lawyer to try and get something sorted ASAP. I wanted this all to go through my lawyer because I just couldn't trust Ellie to pull some stunt. 

Brian picked up the phone after 3 rings and after a quick catch up we were straight business. He informed me that he could have a letter drafted today to be delivered first thing Monday and she had 7 days to respond. I really wanted to push it, but this had to be done legally and properly and with no room for mistakes. I left the bedroom feeling a little lighter that something was at least being sorted.

Stepping out of the bedroom and seeing my Fiance busy in the kitchen, I couldn't wait to see her barefoot and heavily pregnant. She's growing a tiny human and it was scary how far I would go to make sure that they were both safe. She was always sexy and attractive but right now she was giving off this aura. I could be angry, sad or even frustrated but just seeing her changed my mood immediately. Especially now with the situation that she is being faced with. She didn't ask for any of this but here she was dealing with it like a champ! Dealing with it way better than I ha-d been.

I walked up behind her as she was just finishing up breakfast and wrapped my arms around her and inhaled her natural scent. My hands automatically palmed her flat stomach as my thumb rubbed small circles over it. "All sorted?" She asked as I was caught up in my little bubble that was us.

"Mhmm, she has a week or authorities get involved. Letter is being drafted today, she should get it on Monday." I keep my arms around her as she plates up our food.

"Do you think she will co-operate?"

"Honestly, I dunno. She is unpredictable, She may just try to prolong it but then again she may be really confident that I'm the father and want it done quickly." I sigh heavily. I really don't want to think about this anymore. "Come on, let's have breakfast." I reluctantly let her go and fetch our plates. Sky gets my coffee and herself some orange juice and we settle down to eat. I decide to broach the subject about our wedding just to get rid of the horrible feeling off the last couple of days out of our mouths.

2 DAYS LATER

It's Monday Evening and I've been anxious at work all day. I was hardly able to concentrate. To make maters worse I was having problems with one of our main contractors who had breach a contract and we had to take action legally as this was their second time and I wasn't waiting for a third strike.

When Bolton- well dad, rang me to ask if I wanted to meet up for lunch, I welcomed the idea to get out of the office for a while. I didn't have any more appointments for the day as Elliot offered to help out with some of my work load. He was really supportive when I told him the situation about Ellie and he didn't even hesitate to help so I could get everything sorted. He has always been a great little brother. I need to try and organize a day for us all to chill when Talia was next in town.
