Ok, here we go. This is my first chapter continuing her work. Let me know what you think and any input you have. Hell if you like it put a vote, if you don't I am sorry and I will try harder.

After finally pulling myself together and making a plan to confront Lia I try and get my work done.

"Mr. Holland, Lydia is here to see you," Sarah says peeking her head in my door.

I groan, "Let her in, please. Thank you, Sarah."

When she closes the door the manipulative bitch enters.

"What do you want Lydia?" I ask without looking up from my laptop.

"Thought you would like to know I made an appointment in 5 weeks so we can find out the gender."

"Ok I'll put it on the calendar, you can go"

When I don't hear her leave I look up and see her coming closer with a look in her eyes I know all too well.

She comes around my desk sliding her arms down my chest

"I heard you are now a free man, maybe now we can be the family you deserve", she says seductively

I stand up abruptly, the sudden movement causing her to stagger back.

"I have made it amazingly clear but you can not seem to grasp it. I don't want you, I don't love you, and I may not be with Lia but she will ALWAYS be the love of my life. Not a gold digger like you. I am only talking to you because you are having my baby but don't mistake this for my wanting you. I will have custody over my kid because no one deserves a mother like you." I say on edge of throwing something.

"If I was you I would rethink that Tommy. You lost Lia, heck you even lost your unborn child, I wouldn't risk losing this one as well." She says walking toward the door to leave. As she grabs the doorknob she turns her head back and says, "Obviously that wasn't the family for you or you would still have them."

Im baffled. How did she know about the baby when I just found out today?

The next thing I know is I'm packing my desk up and grabbing my keys heading to the parking lot in all under 10 minutes. I'm heading to Lia's new place to talk to her about this and also find out how the hell Lydia found out. If Lydia knows then who else does?

I get to the cute little house with the white picket fence and notice it looks quiet like no one is home. I get out of my car and get to the door and start knocking. I swear it feels like 5 minutes and there is still no answer. After resorting to banging on the door, I see one of her neighbors pull up. A burly man maybe 5'11 gets out of his car heading to me.

"She ain't home, she left about 2 hours ago. Seemed like she was running away from something..." He looks me up and down, "Or someone.

She left? Haz must have told her that I know.

"Do you know where she went? Or maybe when she will be back?"

"No." He said curtly.

"Ok well here's my card if you hear anything, please call me," I say handing him a Holland Enterprises business card.

"Yeah... Sure I'll call," he says heading to his place next door.

I get into my car and rush to Haz's. When I get there Im banging on the door to get someone to open up quickly.

"I'm coming, hold your fucking horses," I hear Stassie yell out.

I'd laugh if I wasn't freaking out. When she opens the door, I'm pushing passed her to find Haz. I see him in the kitchen with Evangeline coloring in Unicorn drawings.

"Tom, what are you doing here?" He looks up shocked.

"What the he-ham makes you think you can just barge in here?" Stassie comes into the kitchen careful to watch her language around Eva.

"Where is Lia? Why did her neighbor tell me she left?" I ask flat out.

"Stassie will you take Eva to wash her hands? She has marker everywhere." Haz asks most likely because he can see I am pissed and doesn't want her seeing this.

When they leave to go to the bathroom I pin him against the wall.

"Where the hell is she?"

He raises his hands in surrender. I realize how I'm holding him and I back up.

"She should be home. I told her she needs to talk to you about everything." I can tell he is telling the truth because there is no way he would lie after telling me about my baby.

"Call her."

"Tom, I can't do that. If she left then she is probably just preparing to talk to you. Maybe she went to the office to find you?"

"Haz, call her now," I say pushing his phone that was on the counter toward his hand.

"Fine," He calls her and we listen to it ring.

You have reached the voicemailbox of Amelia Holland. Sorry, I'm either with my bestie Haz, with family, or with my amazing and sexy husband Tom. I will try and call you back as soon as I can. You know what to do. BEEP!!!

Listening to this causes pain in my heart. She hasn't changed it yet. I remember her making this after we got married. I had her add the amazing and sexy part so everyone who called knew she was taken.

"Maybe just give her time ok, she hasn't quit right?"

That's right she hasn't quit so she has to come back to work. Plus she wouldn't leave Stassie and Haz or even Eva out of now where.

"Fine. I will give her time but please if she calls let me know. We need to talk about this. Also, Lydia showed up at work today. How does she know about Lias and my baby? Who else knows? And don't lie to me."

"What do you mean Lydia knew about the miscarriage? You, Mrs. Hawling, Stassie, me, and Leah know and that's it. We haven't told anyone else since it isn't our place to do that."

"She still sees Rachel for therapy?" I say more to myself wondering if she might know where she went.

"Are you mental? Of course, she is, she lost her fucking baby. I made her go back because she wasn't ok and that's your fault. You are the one who did this. She was fine until you left her. What you think it was a coincidence she lost the baby the second you asked for a divorce? You broke her and she lost it. You chose Lydia and that baby over your wife and the baby you are having with her." Haz whisper yells so Eva doesn't hear us.

"You expect me to leave my baby like that? With a mother like that?" I can't believe what I am hearing.

"No, but you expected Lia to have all of her firsts taken from her and expected her to experience it all with a baby that isn't hers. The first time feeding her kid, the first diaper change, potty training, first steps, first laugh, and staying up through the night because the kid won't stop crying. You expected her to experience that with another woman's baby. You are selfish Tom. You put Lydia's baby before your baby with your wife. What was gonna happen when Lia had her baby? Huh. Were you going to fight her for custody also?"

"No of course not, I was going to share custody with her. I wasn't going to take everything away from her."

"See that's the problem right there. You already did take everything from her. You broke her, even worse than Derek did. I think you should go, Tom. Don't come back until you fix what you broke."

I was going to say more but Evangeline ran back in. She ran up to me and started hitting my leg with her little fists.

"I hate you, Uncle Tom. Aunty Lia promised you would always be together and now she's gone. I never want to hang out with you again." She says with tears running down her face.

"Uncle Haz I wanna go home. I want my Daddy." Haz picks her up and hides her face in his shoulder.

"Tom just leave. Now."

I turn walking away with my own tears falling. What have I done?
