Trained For Sin

Chapter 45

"Hey." I smiled as I knocked and opened Nathan's office door. "I hope I'm not interrupting anything." I said hesitantly trying to hide my confusion at the young and attractive woman sitting in front of his desk.

"No, no. Of course not. We were just finishing up." Nathan said standing at his desk looking down at the woman intensely making frown.

"Y-Yes, we were." The woman smiled as she grabbed her things and stood to leave. I began to feel badly not intending to cut his meeting off short. "I'm sorry. I just thought you might've been hungry." I smiled weakly as he walked around his desk towards me.

Handing Nathan his favorite lunch from the Italian restaurant around the corner that I used to always bring him. "Thank you." Nathan smiled down at me taking the to-go bag as he leaned down to kiss me. "How are you feeling? Why isn't Valerie and Rose with you?" He asked.

"I snuck out." I joked making him fight his smile waiting for an explanation. "I don't want you driving alone." Nathan replied with stern eyes looking down at me. "I called your driver." I said making him ease reaching out for my waist stepping closer.

Nathan raked me up at down wearing one of my favorite comfortable baggy jumpsuits. "You look beautiful." Nathan continued placing his hand on my stomach. "I don't feel it." I replied honestly making him smile sympathetically.

"I'm just tired of waddling. I want to hold the baby." I repeated frustrated making him chuckle looking away. "Yeah, well. Soon enough." He replied turning away to place his food on his desk. "I know. Soon enough." I exclaimed eagerly again clasping my hands with a bright-eyed look. Nathan smiled down at me before the same woman walked back into his office.

"I'm just drowning in work, Gen." Nathan said hesitantly making me look away. "Oh, right. Yeah- Yeah, of course." I replied trying to hide my disappointment. "I'll see you at home." I said as he leaned in for a kiss.

I ignored the hurt I felt and the slight jealousy from the attractiveness of the woman in his office. I turned around as I left to watch them talk among themselves. Being pregnant made me feel different and insecure with my body's appearance and how much I've grown.

"Carmen? G-Genevieve?" I heard Eve snapping me out of my anxious thoughts making me turn away from Nathan and the woman's smiles. "Eve! Hi." I smiled as she hugged me trying not to squish my stomach to much only making me even more self-conscious.

"How are you? You look radiant!" Eve beamed at my stomach making me scoff through a smile. "Everyone said you were pregnant, but I didn't know just how far along." She said making me smile weakly. "Yeah, I-I know I'm pretty huge." I laughed weakly as I tried sitting down at the nearest chair making her do the same.

"You look amazing." She said making me smile weakly before there was a short uncomfortable silence. "I'm so sorry I lied to you and left without saying goodbye. I just didn't know how to explain it all to you and I was worried-" I began to apologize quickly making her interrupt. "Don't worry about it. Nathan explained some of it to me after I continued to pester him." She smiled.

"I can't believe you're a real bounty hunter!" Gen whisper yelled making me look around at the busy office. "I-I mean I know he's annoying and arrogant, but I've never seen him do anything sketchy." Eve said in a failed hushed tone making me chuckle.

"He doesn't even speed." I teased making her laugh. "We should get lunch soon! I need to know everything about the real you." Eve smiled as we stood to leave not wanting to take up too much of her time at work.

"I would love that." I smiled. "I've finally found someone too. We should do a double date." She beamed as I felt another small contraction making me struggle to hide my pain. "Oh, my god." I breathed slightly leaning against my old desk. "Yes, it's very exciting." She smiled as I chuckled weakly trying to shake the pain away. Only feeling the wave of pain grow.
