Stop The Heartbreak

The Baby Bump, Bumped

Anastasia
Dr Greene has told me that I need to eat better and make time to rest. The twins are make me crave peppermint candy canes. Those are hard to find. Christian found me some and had them shipped to our home. Mia is wanting to go running and subtlety said I should exercise more. She even tried to drag me to her gym. We need to tell people we are married and pregnant. I think Kate suspects that I am pregnant. I just walked out of the doctors office and there she is reading a magazine. How can I get by her. I try but the receptionist called me back using my married name. Of course Kate looked up hearing mrs Grey and thinking they were calling her in to see dr Greene.

Kate
I am in for my second exam in the first trimester of my pregnancy. I am deep in an article about a new book and how and why the writer wrote it and it is now a made for tv movie. I hear my name Mrs Grey and look up and see Anastasia and she has been called back to the receptionist desks. I get up and ask if the receptionist called my name? It turns out she was talking to Anastasia Grey and not Katherine Grey. I guess the secret is out now. Christian and Anastasia are married. The receptionist gives her an appointment and instructions for having twins and pre natal vitamins that she needs. All the typical things for a pregnant woman to have to do to have a healthy baby, in her case twin babies. She asks me not to tell anyone but it is too late Grace has arrived to take me to lunch. Now she's taking both of us to lunch and dinner. She hasn't confessed to me yet and I'm sure she doesn't want to face Grace without Christian so I let it go. Grace however is not short of a keen eye. The baby bump is very obvious at this point.

Grace
I was very surprised to see Kate and Anastasia in the waiting room of dr Greene's office both are Cheryl's patients. Her son has an office at the other end of the corridor so they have separate waiting rooms. I have noticed that Anastasia is wearing looser clothing and today she definitely looks pregnant. There is only one father I can think of and that Is Christian. Then I spot the wedding rings and Christian's grandmother's engagement ring next to the band and another engagement ring next to the band. The band is separating the engagement rings. I don't think it's a good time to question her regarding her pregnancy or the wedding band and engagement rings. Suddenly she realizes that I saw them and tries to hide them. We go to lunch together and I ask her when her and Christian will become engaged and get married. We go in my car and security follows us in Kate and Anastasia's cars. We have lunch and I laugh to myself at the food combinations Kate and Anastasia have chosen to eat. Definitely pregnancy cravings. I am going to wait until she is ready to tell us news of any kind.

Anastasia
I am on edge and I am craving something different and Kate orders two different deserts with a pickle on the side. I order a steak with a slice of watermelon. Grace just looks at us both and says nothing. I text  Christian and tell him we need to tell his family about the marriage and the twins. I tell him what happened. He says we will tell them all at family dinner.

Grace
So did you tell Christian where you are and who you are with? There was no doubt who Anastasia was texting. I bite the bullet and ask her if she is pregnant? She turns red and says she is. Then I ask her if she got married and when? She tells me it was the night of Kate and Elliott's wedding. She is pregnant with twins and only four months along. They have been married for seven months. They finally just eloped because they barely got any alone time together. I can understand that after hearing about their busy schedules. She has hired extra staff to help with running her company. I leave them to be driven to their jobs and I go back to mine. Christian and her will make the announcements at the family dinner.

I can't believe that Christian didn't get a prenuptial agreement signed by Anastasia before they got married. I doubt he will ask her now, since she's having his twins. Grace tells me to leave it alone. She then tells me to look at Steele Securities position in the Fortune 500 and their net worth and who the sole owner is now. I did just that and I think it's not a can of worms I think needs opened up. We finally agree to let them make an announcement at family dinner.

Christian
Anastasia has been nervous about family dinner, it was my idea to elope because I missed her so much and the feeling was mutual. We are now having twins that looks like we are further along in the pregnancy. She's four months along and we married seven months ago. Our anniversary is the same as Kate's and Elliott's. They are pregnant as well. I know dad is going to have the prenuptial agreement talk with me. Anastasia and I are very close in our assets and net worths. There is a reason we barely saw her in public. It is because she ran her father's business. He was dying of cancer and was given only one year to live. He held on until after they found Carla and his babies remains. He painted his last painting and died that morning. Gideon saved her and brought her to the hospital after she forgot to eat and drink for days because she had to take care of everything.
