Chapter 9

I knock on the door to Steffy's office at Forrester. It's been a couple days since I declared my love for her and that I intended to win her back. I haven't heard anything from her other than a picture of Kelly that she texted me yesterday. I sent her hearts in return, but was given no response after that.

"Come in," Steffy called.

I push the door open slightly, before I catch a glimpse of her. She has her hair down, with her ringlets falling onto her shoulders. She is wearing a black blazer over a red business casual knee length dress that hugs her body in all the right places. I immediately feel my member wake up in response. She looks absolutely beautiful. To be honest though, Steffy would look beautiful with a paper bag on her head. Her beauty just shines, takes away from everything else in the room. She's true beauty.

"Hi," I say, slowly walking over to her, giving her a big goofy grin.

"Liam," she states. "What are you doing here?"

"I came to see you."

"Why? Why would you do that?"

"I need a reason to see you?" I question, lightly playing with her.

"Not exactly, but with the way things are between all of us, I don't think making pit stops in to see me is really the best idea. It's not appropriate. What if Hope walks in right now? I know Finn isn't crazy about us having to spend time together. He's been a gentleman about it, but I know it does bother him."

I walk over to the side of her desk, with only the corner of the desk separating us. My eyes wander down her body and back up admiring how beautiful she is. I lean over to her ear, my lips almost touching them. I feel the heat between us rising. I feel my desire for her deepen. I want to say and do more, but I settle and whisper quietly in her ear. "You look beautiful and sexy as hell. I want you. You and our babies belong with me."

I feel her shutter slightly, "Liam, you shouldn't be saying these things. It won't work. I've made my decision."

"Give it time. You will come home to me; I am sure of it."

She clears her throat and side steps me to the conference table on the other side of the room. "What is it you want, Liam?"

I relent and back off her for now. "Couple things," I reply. "I want find out how you are doing and the little bean inside of you?"

She smiles at me slightly, while giving me a confused look. "Little Bean?"

"Yes, Little Bean," he said motioning towards my stomach.

"You named our baby?" she softly smiles.

"Nothing official, but I think it's better than calling it just 'the baby' all the time.

"Touche, you are right. It sounds a little more affectionate too," She puts her hand down on her belly, and smiles down at it, "Little Bean, it is then,"

"B, for short," she smirked up at me, pleasing me with a wink.

I am happy; she didn't hate the name and actually agreed to the nickname. I wasn't sure how she was going to take it.

"How is Little Bean? How are you feeling?"

"Been a little queasy, mornings are rough, especially with Kelly running around and driving me crazy. I am exhausted by 7:00pm and start counting down the minutes until it's time for her to go to bed. Not sleeping that well, but all this comes with the territory. I wouldn't trade these moments."
