"I want to plan it carefully" Toni said sitting back down
"We're in no no hurry" Eddie said "I'm not in a hurry if you aren't, as much as i want to hurry up and make you my wife"
"I aren't hurrying" Toni said grinning as she kiss him, "I cherish you" she said

Dorothy smile, she was happy to see her grandson and granddaughter happy and Toni was making them both happy she didn't think she was going to but she did she didn't blame herself for doubting for when she came in his life he was a married woman but look at how it was working out"
Hariel had stayed the night at Nana's for they went over on Saturday even after spending some time in the park she was sleeping and decided to stay Toni said that Moana could bring her on Sunday and she and Dorothy would join them for dinner the last time they were the one who fix dinner for them,
Eddie and Toni went home and had a full night of love Toni was feeling the strain after sex not as bad but since the doctor said it was going to happen they were cautious but they had no control they just kept going at it,
"How are you keeping girl?" Angela asked she call her up on Sunday
"I'm keeping fine, tired and sore though girl, Eddie and I are a lone and making use of it, we had sex all night" Toni said giggling
"Oh yeah Eddie seems to have the energy" Angela said
Toni grin she turned to see Eddie standing at the counter he had heard her and narrowed his eyes at her,
"It's best to keep active I think it's a good thing" Angela said
"Well what else is better now in this stage? I'll call you later" Toni said
"Ok girl love you so much"
"Love you so much" Toni said
She hang up and went to Eddie he shook his head at her, "why don't you just record the whole thing that way you don't have to tell them every time we have sex"
Toni grin and covered her lip she pull him in and rub her forehead on is he smile and squeeze her tender butt cheeks this pregnancy left her with every part of her body tender but she feels like it is worth it, they let themselves enjoyed another couple rounds before starting dinner they were just finishing when Moana's car comes in the gate parking where the porch at,
Pups bark as he entered the house his barks were much more now for he has grown over the months he's been living with Hariel for eight months July was at the ending the final week today is the twenty seventh with four more dates to go,
They drove to Colorado for the bashment baby shower that Angela puts on Tuesday this was to get Eddie and Hariel a chance to visit and Dorothy and Moana went too every time they get together it was worth it every one were happy, and because of the schedule with the place they couldn't have it for weekend so they had to chose the Tuesday for the other days were busy
Angela, Micheal Nicky and Aldi came on the weekend the same weekend after the baby shower that was before Eddie's birthday on August the 5th that was a Wednesday but they had work and couldn't stay to celebrate on the bday itself so they give him a nice treat doing a little thing for him at his company using up the lobby this was Toni's first time really seeing the place since he started the business,
"Things look really nice at your workplace" she said later when they were laying in bed
"Yes thank you and by the way I found a place that I think you'll love for the floral boutique, the realtor will give us a tour the man was saying Wednesday but I told him Saturday will be best I want to go with you, if that's ok if you can wait"
"Of crouse I can wait" Toni said
"Good then" Eddie said laying her back on the sofa as he made to love her cuddling her when they were done,
Chris was send to Texas San Antoni to sell a house the man had agreed to sell through their company he was told Wednesday but the person couldn't be there for Wednesday so he had to an Saturday
"I'm your assistant how comes someone else is going with you and I already know there so well" Emma said
"Jimmy does too he had done business there before I'm only going because I'm a talker I know how to cut a deal what if the person wants to bawl  down for a minimum price"
I could come to just view"
"You could but it's not up to me" Chris said
"Don't let this keep you"
"I won't" Chris kiss her
"Nellie come say goodbye to Dad he's going now"
Nellie ran into the room to hug Chris he picks her up and kiss her up before leaving
Chris didn't know Toni wasn't living in Manhattan anymore he haven't ran into her in person but he saw the van past him a number of time delivering flowers, he has come to learn that she has developed her business and has other workers now because she has her house he though she had move there, he and the owner talked about the place they look around for the people would come in the afternoon he assure him he'll get a good deal, he alongside Jimmy knows just how to cut adeal
When Toni and Eddie arrive she had was to use the bathroom there was a business place a cross from the building she went over to borrow their rest room Hariel went with her so Toni went ahead of them since they were waiting,
Eddie had look around before but look around again he was in a room with the realtor and the guy who accompanied him the realtor seems so familiar to him but he can't remember where he had seen him he was telling him how the room over looking the street can be ideal for a office space, Toni got to the place where Eddie was with the realtor and the other guy for she had peek in a few rooms on her way in, "wow this is where I want the office to be" she said Chris turn about to say "I was just explaining to him how this is an ideal office space but he didn't make it further than "I was" when he saw Toni he was surprised but on seeing her belly he was shocked now he was surprised and shocked "To- to- Toni" he said
Eddie look at Toni then to Chris
Jimmy turned too he too was surprised to see Toni looking good and pregnant he remember Chris telling him Toni couldn't have children for they were trying he didn't know they left and he didn't know about Emma giving him a child either
"Chris" Toni said
Now Eddie reminded himself where he saw him the guy who was with Emma the one who was Toni's husband, "you're pregnant but how?" He asked
"I'm as surprised as you are" Toni said
"Did you do some sort of surgery or something?" He asked touching her belly to see if it was really true,
Toni shook her head "I did nothing different Chris oh did I forget to introduce you this is my fiance" Toni point to Eddie
"Fiance?"  Chris asked he was shocked he held his head "you're saying since our divorce you got a man got pregnant and already you're engaged?"
Eddie look at Toni then back at Chris
"Yes I'm having twin, oh we're having twin" she said smiling
Chris widen his eyes ""twin?"
"A girl and a boy" Toni said
"That's unbelievable why wouldn't you get pregnant when we were together we've tried everything, and what you doing in San Antoni I thought you would be in new york"
"Unbelievable but true" she held her tummy as the babies move, And no Chris I left new your nothing was there for me when you stop wanting me I found some one who did, for all those months at home feeling as if I was an out cast you stop looking at me like a wife all you see me as was a woman who couldn't make babies for you, you stop touching me for months you didn't let me feel wanted but today I'm glad for I've found a real man" she said
Hariel look at her father
"We'll take it" Toni said turning to the owner she then came to realize Jimmy was the other guy she greeted him with a smile,
"Toni good to see you you're looking well" he nods  to her
Toni smile
"We haven't come to a price decision as yet" the man said looking to Chris, Chris look at Jimmy
"What ever the price I'll take it" Toni said turning to Eddie "Baby can you write the check I'll be in the car" she said taking Hariel's hand leaving Eddie to finish up, Chris watch her out the room she was getting in the car when he look at Eddie and sigh he shook his head, thinking that for years he'd tried getting his wife pregnant that he became frustrated he didn't even feel the need to sleep with her again for he thought it was useless he can't believe this he give the man the price and as Toni said Eddie sign the check close the deal and left with Toni on receiving the paperwork and the keys Eddie sat in the driver's seat and hand Toni the key to the place with the paperwork to show she owns the place, "thanks" sge said as she smiles at him, she want to start fixing by next week at the same time get people to work untill she gave birth and was rested
Chris was mad as he drove to Manhattan he speed like he was the road runner, Jimmy keep saying slow down, but he kept seeing Toni with her belly her man hearing her words she's having twin girl and a boy he wondered why as they break up she's carrying another man child, he would probably think he is the father but he haven't care to touch her in over months so unfortunately he couldn't think he was he sigh,
"Maybe you need to see the doctor again" Jimmy said
Chris look at him only his eyes asking questions
"If she manage to get pregnant now with her new man in such a short time and you two try for years maybe it's you"
Chris shook his head he laughed "so you didn't know that Emma's daughter is mine?"
"What?" Jimmy asked
"Yes she's my daughter Emma and I are living together now with our little girl?"
"And you're sure about it?" Jimmy asked
"We've been sleeping together since I learn my wife couldn't get pregnant at least that was what they said after a month she got pregnant"
Jimmy make a face,
"Emma love me, more than my wife I suppose for she didn't try hard enough to get pregnant for me" he hissed he drop Jimmy off and drove wild to his house he make some hard breaks as he got to the drive way Emma came to the door with Nellie who run to him he picks her up but some thing make him feel life less,
"You look gloomy" Emma said later on they were getting into bed
"I'm not doing ok"
"Didn't the sale went well?"
"It was too easy it was"
"Then what?"
"It was my ex-wife who bought the place for her business"
"Toni oh yeah where did she get that type of money oh I guess she must have beg to lower it"
Chris shook his head "she just paid for it but what surprised me is that she's pregnant"
Emma chest tighten "For you?" She asked
"No to the time we'd gone to bed it would be impossible she introduced me to the father her fiance but I'm thinking for all this time I was trying to get her pregnant and she play me foolishly now she's giving birth for  a man she knows in months, he said
Emma wonder if Eddie was the one for the way Toni wanted children she would be more than willing to get pregnant so why is she pregnant now that she left Chris she wondered if Eddie was the guy who she's seeing she haven't seen them together but the day she came in Eddie's daughter ran to her,
"Was Toni a lone with the mana?" Emma asked
"A girl was with them"
"Eddie" Emma said
"That's his name"
Emma check to see if Chris had remember the guy they had met the day they went out and she was talking to him
Chris remember but he didn't notice the guy before so she couldn't tell him to be the same guy all he knows is that he is so angry for he can't believe she's pregnant for another man, for years they have been trying and nothing happened
"Maybe she was taking the pills who knows she probably has that man long before that's her reason for going off to Texas in the first place" Emma tried not to let him think otherwise than his wife was a no good,
"No, no way not the Toni I know she was almost innocent when we met she had a guy back in highschool and that was it" Chris said
"You're defending her now ah" Emma said
Chris look at her but he couldn't say anything
He wasn't defending her it was the truth he just thinks she didn't try hard enough to give him children and all she talked about was adoption when Emma got pregnant he wanted to be apart of the child and would do any thing, it was as if he couldn't get it out his mind for a long while he thinks about it even try calling when he was away from Emma
"Girl I love the set up and to think it's right across from so many businesses" Angela said Toni was video calling her while she set up, "don't do too much" she warned
"With this new guy I'm talking to?" Toni said
They both laugh
It was a Saturday and the others had came out to give Toni a hand in the business she was doing the final for she's starting business on Monday the month of October has begun and she's in the month to give birth so Eddie was cautious about her doing, he was helping her to put some decoration vase and design flowers pop on a shelf she was talking to Angela on the new number that was hucked to the home internet when the other phone rang she ignored it Angela questioned "work coming in already?"
"That's Chris" she said
Eddie look
"Why is he calling you?" Angela asked
"Did I tell you that he was the realtor we had to see to buy this place?, he was with jimmy"
"No you didn't but I wish I was there to see his face when he saw you" Angela said
"I told him I'm having twin, he was wide open mouth looking at me even touched it to see if it was real"
"If it was that you guys had slept together anytime close to now he would be thinking he's the father"
"It's been a while and I never force him but when I met Eddie it was as if Chris didn't matter anymore sometimes I have to be telling myself I'm married but it didn't work one day with him and I had to be pretending I didn't want to do it"
Angela grin
One of he thing fell from him and went crashing Toni turn to see him she didn't know he came in
"You alright there baby?" She asked
"It slipped" he said"I'm sorry"
"It's fine I had a spare I'll just replace it" she told him "Julia" she called her cleaning lady she cane in the room "can you help my fiance for me please?"
"Yes mam"she said and went for the broom and dust bin,
"Take a break hon let's go for lunch" Toni said it was three in the afternoon some have had lunch between twelve and one but Toni wasn't hungry and Eddie wasn't ready, "Hariel sugar" Toni called when they reach the room,
"Yes mom" she said and ran over to them
"Your dad and I are going for lunch want to come?"
"No not now go enjoy lunch" she said
Toni look at Eddie
"Want us to bring back any thing for you?"
"I'm fine, enjoy your lunch" she hug them both then run back to where  some men  were painting some design to put on the wall
"This gives us a little time to ourselves" Toni said they went off and have lunch spent a little time together, every one were wrapping up when they got back so they went home for julia was finish cleaning as well it was as set for Monday now Toni can relax,
She has been doing plenty of relaxing for not even sex she was getting since she and Eddie had a small portion sometime last month they haven't done anything,
It was last week in October not the very last week it was the twenty four for it's Friday which means there's still another week her date was the twenty fifth to the thirty first so far apart from heavy it didn't feel the babies will come soon,
"We need to think of a name for the twin" Toni said she was with Eddie home together a lone for Hariel went to her mother she didn't want to go but she didn't want it to look so bad she was glad to get sometime with her but Toni was soon to have the babies and she wanted to be here,
"We'll think of a name besides there's so many names to choose from" Eddie said coming over her
She lays back on the sofa relaxing"how about Rebecca, Simone, Elizabeth Gorgenia and Liam Adrian Astin that's only to name a few" he said lifting her legs to remove her pantie, "the babies won't come tomorrow by the way" he said throwing her panties aside,
"What you doing?" Toni asked
"Trying to get some without damaging anyone"
Toni giggle he lift her shirt to such and her breast gently loving her doing his best not to hurt her it felt good to them both Eddie seems to go a little deeper at times than intended to left Toni with a hurting cramp one she decided not to tell him about she lay close trying to be comfortable hoping it will leave her soon
Eddie got a call from Noah he and Jack were going out of town on a little work since it was Saturday and he won't go to the company he didn't want to leave Toni but she said she would be fine "call me if you need me if you don't get me call Noah or Jack, Toni had gotten their number over the time DeAndrea and Alexis as well for sometime they give each other a shout they were substitute to Angela and Nicky for they were in town closer to her, she call Hariel when Eddie left and talk she asked about her pups "he's alrighty" she said he's laying at my feet he's so big now you need to change his name now to dog"
Hariel giggle
Toni asked about her mother and sister and her stepdad they were all ok,
Toni hang up from her and try to ease herself for the pain seems to increase she went to the bathroom ten minutes apart on her next visit she saw blood in her underwear which was unusual but she wondered if it's the sex that have her seeing blood she wondered if she was to call Eddie but if she's working she didn't want to bother him but the pain increased so she got nervous the first call didn't go through so she call again it went to voicemail she left a message to tell him what was happening and that she would go to the hospital,
She scramble around and get ready taking her bags she was getting in her car when the doorbell sounds she got down to get the door to see DeAndrea and Alexis standing there Eddie had send them to sit in with her for he didn't feel comfortable with her by herself even though she said she's ok,
Toni told them of her feeling and they agreed to take her to the hospital on her way her headwater broke and was to be rush into labor room when Eddie got the message and listens to it he call but didn't get her he call DeAndrea and she told them she's in labor he rush but by he got there she was put in bed and the babies were being dealt with
"Baby I'm sorry" Eddie said leaning at her bedside
"Don't be I told you you could go" she smile
"Are the babies alright?" He asked
"Yes Mr Baldwin the babies are great healthy as their parents" the doctor lay them both on his arms, "strong woman you got yourself"
Eddie nod and smile he look at Toni"I think I'll name our girl Gorgeana" he said
"And your son?"
"After his dad, what else" he kiss them both grinning widely
"So I have no part in it?" Toni asked
"You gave birth already" Eddie said
Toni smile "alright no problem" she said
Eddie smile and kiss her forehead they nestle together with the babies as they feed and get settled Toni call Hariel to tell her she was grinning happily even though disappointed for she wanted to be here for the babies, Dorothy and Moana came in the evening with her bowl of soup,
Toni told Angela and Nicky and they screamed for joy they couldn't wait to visit but has to wait all the way until the next weekend,
Gorgeana and Eddie Junior were sent home with their mother on Monday Eddie came to get them in the evening after getting Hariel from school the way she was excited to be around the babies she wanted to skip school but the thing is she has some hours in the evening and time before she has to go to school,
Chris picked up the phone and called Toni another time but she didn't answer again she didn't see the reason to take his call,
"Don't you think you should answer him?" Eddie asked Toni was in the nursery and didn't hear him come in,
The phone rang again this time she picks it up Eddie was going to walk out when Toni held him back
"Toni I got one question"
"What's that!"
"What did you do for him that you didn't do for me it keeps bothering me" he said
"I didn't need to try too hard sometimes Chris looking at it now maybe the doctor got it all wrong maybe I wasn't at fault"
"You think I was?" He remember Jimmy saying that to him
"No you did get a daughter didn't you?" Toni asked
"Yes Emma's daughter is mine" he admitted it
"Ok I guess it was to be like this then, all the best Chris" she said hanging up
Chris sigh for sometime he just walk around losing focus of everything
He sat having dinner with Emma and Nellie recalling the happening with him and Emma he had only gone there for the first time and two weeks later she was saying she missed her period and he became extremely anxious about a baby so he take it to say yes if she's pregnant it's with his child and he wanted to be a father he remembers Toni saying maybe she wasn't at fault he's thinking of it now for  years straight he had tried and because it Happened so quickly with Emma it make him mad with Toni he look from Emma to Nellie trying to put the best feelings out but thinking of things it just don't add up to him,
"So I was going through some sights the other day and I heard a ads on a doctor in time square that caters for DNA samples" Jimmy said to Eddie walking in his office one day
"What do I need DNA for?" He asked
Jimmy shook his head he didn't want to stir up trouble so when Emma comes in he left
"What did he want?" She asked
"We were just settling the paperwork to get to the insurance company so my ex-wife gets them"
"Can I see them?" Emma asked
Chris hand then to her she look them over surprised the place cost over six million dollars and the insurance was twice the amount she roll her eyes
Chris was surprised too that she was able to get such expensive place he didn't know she could get her hand on that kind of money, well it has nothing to do with him now he have a feeling her family left her with it she must have refused to tell him  he didn't think her floral business got her so much money no way it was a small business before it upgraded and it can't be she made so much in the short time, maybe uts ger new man he thought thinking it with a sigh his thought stop when Emma voice echoed in his ear "well let's go home" she said
Tish Malone was from Queens New York he was just an ordinary guy a cab driver that happens to live in line dating with this he met girls and spend a night with them and nothing further but when he met Gigi she was a realtor nothing like the other girls he knew he told her his life style and that he was willing to change and she was willing to help him change he so happened to visit Gigi at the real estate company just then Emma was coming out Chris's office when she saw the guy he seems like someone she knows and then it came to her that's the guy the one she met for the bline date the one Nellie should be calling dad instead of chris she didn't go out to let him see her when jimmy saw her he call her to introduce her to Gigi's boyfriend Tish but she ran off saying she need to do something before it gets late
Gigi look at Tish and Jimmy wondering what got into Emma today Chris came and meet him then stood with them talking Emma stayed away,
She was with Chris in the evening going home when they saw Tish in the parking lot, Tish look at her and it felt as if he knows her,
"I've met you before" he said
Emma wanted to kick him for he got her pregnant and didn't look back at her he became a none existence person for the alias name he gave match some old guy far different from him she couldn't even remember his name now he's Tish "you haven't" she said almost too nervous
Chris look at her,
Two days pass and Tish was in Manhattan again Chris was on the road as he was just coming from a viewing he saw Tish and stop to chat,
"You said you've met Emma before I've heard you done some on line dating in the past is that how you met her?"
"Emma rings bell but I can't remember it's been so much it's hard keeping track" Tish said
Chris started to wonder if by chance Emma date the guy he became curious Emma had was to rush in the morning and ask that Chris take the girl to school he was driving there when he was urged to go see a doctor taking Nellie to get a DNA done he remember the one Jimmy told him about in queens and took her there, he had to wait like six weeks before he knew but in the process of waiting he did what he could, he wasn't sure if it was jumping to conclusions because Toni became pregnant and Jimmy was saying that
Chris was called into get the results he cried when he realized that Nellie wasn't his daughter it turns out he's the one he can't get any one pregnant he walk-in the house to find Emma in the kitchen she was cooking "I want you out my house" he said
Emma pause
"You are a wicked woman Emma you knew Nellie isn't my daughter and you have me pushing away my wife when she was going through problems problems I have and she don't"
Emma was shocked
"Yes I went and get the DNA I was saying Toni couldn't get pregnant now she has twin if she was able to have twin with another man in such short time she couldn't be the problem so I checked it out"
"Chris" Emma said
"Save it just leave you could have kill me for what you did was a wicked act"
Chris I'm"
I'm going out I won't come back until tomorrow and when you leave make sure you take nothing for I'll sue you for all you got"
"Chris where will I go?" She asked
"I'm sure you'll find her father this time why not let him put you up" he said
"Chris you can't just do this to me" she said but Chris didn't respond, he was a lone when he voice note Toni to tell her what had happened
She replied sorry Chris but I can't help you now"
Angela and Nicky kind of rejoice because of the way he goes about it what was important their friend is happy she's getting married Toni and Eddie were now talking about their wedding but haven't decided on it, on what date or what month for the children were kind of hard to deal with they were two active children and with them both working it didn't fit to set the wedding right now but they knew the right time will come and neither seems to be in a hurry.
"you're Nellie's father" Emma said when she saw Tish he was with Gigi in the hall way at the office that out burst had caused lookers
"What?" Tish said
"You and I had sleep together you've gave me some fake name on line and we met after our night you wasn't no where to be seen"

"I'm so in Love with you" Eddie said easing in to kiss her softly they both giggle "Merry Christmas" toni said they look up on the Christmas tree as they were standing right under it, they had no plans to stay in the open town and made love and both were becoming heated so they rush home to be together by themselves where they took time to love the night away.
