The next day
Shawnie's POV
I walked into the kitchen and saw Aubrey sitting at the island, working on his MacBook.
"What are you up to?" I ask about going into the freezer and pulling out a pint of mint chocolate chip ice cream.
"Playing a little bit of Roulette." He says, not breaking eye contact with his computer.
I roll my eyes. "Again?"
I get a spoon out of the drawer, and I'll walk over and sit on his lap. I opened all the ice cream and dug in.
"Again." He says, wrapping one arm around my waist. He looks at me for a few seconds, then he speaks again. "Ice cream for breakfast?" He asks
"Yup, and I'm pregnant, I can do anything I want." I laugh, and he shakes his head.
"How was your sleep after I got out of bed?" He logs off and closes the MacBook.
"I missed you. I really couldn't fall back asleep, though." I explain
"I hate to have to say this, but you know..."
I cut him off. "I know you won't be around as much."
"I love that I've had so much time off. I was able to move around to accommodate you....but it's not always going to be like that."
"I knooow." I get a little irritated at his comment. He's been trying to prepare me for when he's gone, and I hate it. I don't want to think about it.
"I'm in a position where I have the authority to cancel or postpone, but I can't do that all the time. You know I'd rather be home with you, so whenever I can, I'll be home to lie on your chest." He says, "And when I'm gone, don't think I won't pull up on you."
"Pull up on me?"
"To surprise you," he smiles. "And I have eyes on you at all times."
"Okay."
"I'm going to have security brief me a few times a day, so I'll know your every move."
"What are you trying to say?" I give him a spoonful of ice cream. After he's done eating it, he speaks.
"You're in good hands even when I'm not around. So, with that being said, do you want to stay here, LA, or go back to Toronto?" He asks
"Toronto. I need my peace, and it's so peaceful there. I don't care for the Hidden Hills house. And there are too many people rolling by wanting to see the YOLO Estate." I say using air quotes. "And I refuse to stay here. The Bridle Path house is perfect for me."
"Okay. I was checking. Security will be there 24 hours, and—."
"Loosen your grip, baby." I kiss his temple, "We have a couple more months before everything kicks off."
He laughs, "Yeah, I know I have a tight grip on you. It's for a good reason. I want everything set for you. I don't want to leave you."
"I know, baby...I'm going to be okay. You really need to work on that." I say laughing.
"I'm going to lose my shit when I have to leave you and the kids."
"As I just said, you should work on that," I say
"You should be happy I can't function without you. I physically get sick, baby. Own that Drake can't be without you."
"I do." I smile.
"You need to start the interview process for Atlas's nanny." He says
"Baby, I know. Don't stress me out."
