A Shadow Of Doubt

Kate Has Balls

Elliott
I can seem to stop arguing with Kate, but I also can't stop thinking about her. I think she has me just where she wants me and my balls are in her purse now. No matter what I do I can't stop arguing or leaving her alone. It has me confused. I have never been confused about a female before. Ethan has told her that we both need psychological help and he can recommend a good couples therapist. Right now we are just dating.
Kate
Grrrrrrr Freaking Elliott he doesn't understand that I like to have a man dressed as nicely as I am when we go out, yet he shows up in jeans and those boots and drives that huge truck that I can't get into without his help. Mom says it is because he likes helping a damsel in distress. I threw my socks at her for calling me a damsel in distress. I am no damsel and the only distress I feel is over Elliott not listening to my needs. I have no doubt if it were one of his charity events he would dress nicely because he knows his mother would have his balls if he didn't. He has always dressed nicely at formal events. I also know that truck is not his only vehicle I have seen them in his garages. A Ferrari would be nice to be driven someplace nice. Sometimes we jus hang out at my apartment or his home. Both need a good thorough cleaning. Mom has given me the number of a good cook and housekeeper that needs the work. We got in a big argument about Leila and Ethan's poor behavior at Mia's wedding reception. Mom was on Elliott's side in it. After seeing the videos I saw Leila and Ethan being thrown out was the only way to make sure Leila and Ethan didn't escalate their poor behavior.
Mia
Leila actually had the nerve to call me about my employee offering her a mere dishwasher job and not the managers job. I told her that she didn't have the skills to be a manager of a restaurant and catering company. Christine did and that was why she was offered the job. I also told her that the company has tripled it's income since she took over as manager. I also told her that her behavior at my wedding reception was deplorable along with Ethan's. I then said the dishwasher position is still open if you want it. She hung up on me and Graham laughed and asked me if that was Leila trying to be hired as management yet again.
Graham
I think it is better that she turned down the job, because she can't be trusted at this point. So when are you going to tell the family about our bun in the oven? You will be showing soon, we don't want them knowing that we have been skydiving still. You have to stop, because of what can happen.
Mia
Yes I know, but you agreed to stop as well until after the baby is born. At family dinner, I think it is best that way. Grandma and grandpa will be there. I can't wait to play with little Christian and Sophie now that she has her casts off. Elliott adapted a few of the items in the play area he made for to make it easier for her to play. I hope they aren't arguing again.
Graham
I hope so to, but I think that is the way they show their love who knows. I see Kate's point about his truck and his attire when she is dressed to go to a nice place and he arrives in work boots and casual attire to go to a nice restaurant.
Mia
I do too, but that is how he has always been.
Graham
He needs to change even you would have an issue if I had done the same to you. But I was taught better and so was your brother, I think Elliott enjoys antagonizing Kate and gets a kick out of it. I bet if she starts refusing to go out with him when he does things to upset her, he will stop doing it.
Mia
That I am not so sure about.
Family dinner everyone arrives and Kate arrives minus one Elliott. She is driving herself. Everyone is here but Elliott so far.
Anastasia
I am holding little Christian and he wants to crawl and try to walk. I finally hand him to Christian because at eight months pregnant I can't keep bending over comfortably to pick little Christian up every five minutes. And they pregnant women can be a handful. This young man is definitely a Grey. I hope this baby is able to sit still a little more.
Elliott
I walk past Kate's car and now I know it was serious when she said she was tired of my truck and other things. I guess when we had our last fight that was the last straw for her. She comes to the family because her mom comes and she is expected to come as well as Ethan. Stephanie and Sophie grab me by the hands and drag me off to play.
Kate
I see Elliott and Sophie and Stephanie are dragging him off to play with them on the playground he built. Christian and Anastasia had it built originally for Sophie and it grew from there for any new family members. Right now they have included Christine and her daughter Stephanie as family.
Mia
We get everyone's attention and announce that we are four months along. We had some scares, but we are now over them according to my OB/GYN.  Graham and I wanted to wait until we were given a clean bill of health before telling anyone at all.
Graham
I watch as Mia walks very carefully and then I see Anastasia waddling around and chuckle as Christian shakes my hand in congratulations to us. He says be ready for all the hormonal moods and cravings that come with pregnancy.
Suddenly Kate yells at Elliott for some reason and heads inside the house where all the women have been working on getting the food ready to serve.
