Mafia series: Innocence

Chapter 46

Brielle's POV

Me and Ana have been living in our new apartment for a week now and it seems like everything is coming back into place.

Ana and I have also been picking up extra shifts so that we could get started on decorating the babies nursery.

I tried telling her that I don't mind buying everything for the nursery, I mean it is my baby.

But as always she was against it she told me that she already felt as if the baby was hers as well so she didn't mind helping.

Even though we both talked about taking up some extra shifts its mostly been her, only because this pregnancy it taking a toll on me currently at this stage.

I haven't been able to eat anything that had even the little bit of grease because I would instantly throw up.

Same with smells if I smelt something that didn't sit well I would be heading straight towards the toilet.

Don't even get me started with my bladder, it's like when ever I finally get comfortable my child decides I need to pee.

Which sucks.

Today is actually Ana first day off since 2 weeks ago because I told her I would take her shift for today.

I might be pregnant but I'm not unable to work so that's a plus.

Before I head out I make my way to Ana's room to tell her goodbye.

Once I enter her room I see that she is actually passed out on her bed.

I don't blame her she worked 24 hours yesterday without any sleep. I make my way to the kitchen leaving a note so she knows where I am.

I then make my way down to the lobby only to see Greg stepping out of his office.

"Well don't you look fancy today." He jokes as he sees me in my scrubs.

I have been getting dressed in my scrubs before going to work now for the past month because I hate having my pregnant belly on show for everyone and someone always comments about it.

"Thanks Greg."

"I didn't know you had work today."

"Yeah I have been feeling better so I decided to take Ana's shift for the day."

Greg nods his heads lightly giving me a once over.

"What is it?" I asked already knowing where his mind is going.

"Brielle I like you and Ana alot you both are like daughters to me, but you both need to know how to relax."

Even though we only knew Greg for a week he has became a father figure to me and Ana.

He always makes sure we're ok no matter the hour of the day or even when we are at work.

He even offered to buy some things for the baby, which I shut down quickly.

Its already bad enough that Ana has already bought things for the baby with her own money but I don't need Greg doing it as well.

"Greg I'm fine honestly and I wouldn't be going in today if I didn't feel good."

He gives me a knowing look before continuing.

"Brielle me and you both know that's not true."

He was right, there has been times when I would just force myself to get past any sickness or painful ache just so I could go into work.

But this time it wasn't like that, I really was ok with going in today, my feet might hurt later but I was prepared to make that sacrifice.

"Greg I'm promise I'm ok."
