If someone was to walk in and ask me what we were doing I wouldn't have a single idea how to explain this. Im half surprised she even agreed with it all to begin with.

Well, almost agreed with it..

"So here are the rules... Firstly, I need you to agree that you being my wife means that ultimately you will be the mother of my children one day. You understand that right?" I ask her plainly,

"Really? after i just said i was pregnant? You couldn't have softened that blow a bit, Chief?" Her head tilted slightly to the right with no amusement.

"Listen, if we're really trying to get this done then we have to be as real and transparent as possible, besides having children is what's going to give us the second instalment of the will remember?" I shrug my shoulders before looking back down to the sheet of paper and tapping onto it with my pen.

"Actually i dont, when you and your uncle ambushed me it didn't give me much of an opportunity to skim over anything but the money aspect of that will."

"I will send you a copy tonight." I state immediately and plainly,

I took her quiet humph as a way of agreeing. I cant sit here and lie, if i were to say that i knew she were pregnant it would be false. In fact it took me by complete surprise but i also would be lying if i said i cared.

Theres so many layers to this whole thing. when i heard her first say it i wasn't thinking of how to escape this or how to let her down, i must be crazy because i was thinking what it would be like for me to have my own... family.

The blurry vision that i have every once in a while about my house filled with a bunch of little rascals running all around the place became a lot more clear.

I hate to admit it but it wasn't the worse thing to think of, in fact it was actually quite a peaceful feeling that came upon me, not with any other woman but her. Weird.

I found my eyes drifting from focus and the ball of my pen rolling on the top corner of the sheet,

"Fine Rule number 1 is settled, but dont expect me to put a timeline on the whole baby number 2 thing..." something in her expression twinges and she shudders a bit,

"What's wrong now, trouble." I say in a long breath, my concern shocks her.. it shocks me that much so as well.

"Dont worry about me." She states boldly, crossing her arms once again.

"Why do you enjoy being so stubborn? if you are going to be my wife one day, then you might as well start opening up to me now... it'll give me a little practice eh?" I'm not good at the whole gentle thing, but I try with her especially since she's pregnant. I don't need no one go on into early labour in my office.

Her eyes search my own for a moment, almost looking for an ounce of trust in them I guess she found it because she took a long sigh as she plopped her head down,
