Started With A Wedding

Nico

Lilith lets everything in her stomach out in the toilet as I hold her hair back. It's been like this for the past 3 weeks. "You okay baby?" I question rubbing my hand up and down her back. She shakes her head.

"I feel like shit!" She mumbles before going back to let out more. Our child seems to be taking a lot out of my girl.

"You want to continue this conversation later?" Raising an eyebrow I rub my thumb against the back of her neck.

She shakes her head again and groans. "N-No! We've been so busy lately we haven't had time to talk about it." She turns away from the toilet while covering her mouth. Letting her hair go I watch as she gets off the floor.

Immediately she walks over to the sink and grabs her toothbrush. She starts to brush her teeth. My eyes on her the entire time. "Don't you dare leave?" She points her toothbrush at me with an intense stare. Smiling I walk out of the bathroom. Sitting on my bed I check my messages.

Mom:I know we were being really rude to Lilith last time we came. We love her though son and are happy for you. Just don't rush into married, please!

Me: Don't worry. We will take it slow.

I'm not ready to get married anyway. Not this fast at least. As much as I like Lilith, I'm not proposing tomorrow.

When she appears in the door my eyes wander down to the open part of her robe. A small part of her skin showing. Teasing me!

Shaking my head I look away. I've got to get to work in an hour, I can't get her naked for me right now. "So...I-We-." She starts, but stops herself.

"We don't need to move in with each other. The baby won't be born for 9 months love. We can take it slow until he or she is born." I reassure.

She sighs and walks over to me. Opening my arms for her I let her sit in my lap. "Okay, what about Rachel?" She says looking at the door. Rachel is at school right now which means Lilith can stay in my room for however long she wants.

"We can take it slow. I'll tell her after our 5th date." Kissing her cheek softly I watch as she smiles.

"Well, then I'll let you get to work baby." She runs and hand through my hair and then leaves the room. Sitting up from the bed I head downstairs with my laptop in it's case. I've got fifteen case requests but can only take five at a time.  Once I walk out of the house and walk to my car in open the door. Shooting a quick text to the couple that came to my office earlier.

:Thank you so much for taking on our case!

Me:You're welcome. Come to me anytime.

Starting up my car I drive off. I've got to tell Vincent and Ricky about Lilith's pregnancy. I wonder if she's told her parents yet? It's been long enough for her to actually explain what happened to them. Maybe she's already told them? That can't be right though! If they knew they would have called me. Ricky would have been told by his wife.

Maybe she's waiting for the right time. When she's ready to tell them I will be too. As long as she doesn't wait forever.

I mean the way she got pregnant isn't a good story, but the way we met was.

When I walk into my office I greet my coworker Greg!

"Morning Mr. Pierce." he smiles with paperwork in his hands. I'm most likely going to have to look over that entire stack.

"Morning." I greet walking over to the coffee station. As I make my coffee he continues to talk.

"I have a couple packets of each of the cases you have to look over." He holds them out and I take them. More late nights!

Nodding my head I look at the name of my first client. Henry habanero. Falsly claimed of murdering his father in law. Says that his wife is the one who really did it.

I need to do more research before deciding to take on the case. Taking my coffee I thank him and leave the main office. Heading to my own I walk into my office. Everyone seems to be early today. It honestly makes me feel like I'm late.

Setting down my coffee I round my desk and sit in my seat. Before I start my work on top of the desk is a note.

Lilith's baby isn't yours. Watch the video!

My eyes widen at the note. There is no name on the card. Who the hell sent this! How did they even get into my office? I'll be sure to ask the Secretary.

Flipping the note over I make sure there isn't anything on the back. The back is blank so I take the phone off of my desk and open it up. On the screen is a video with a big play button.

This phone better not explode in my hand! What could this person know about Lilith, and why would the baby not be mine. She wouldn't lie to me. Setting down my papers
