Meeting in Paradise

14

Adele POV

Last night was amazing. I missed that and I missed him. When I woke up this morning the world's greatest guy had his arms wrapped around me. I hadn't slept that well ever and it's not because of the sex.

Rich has never spent the night over at my house before. Yes that night in the hotel we slept together but never at either one of our houses.

Some may say that we are taking this whole thing very fast but when you know that someone is the right person for you it's hard to take it slow.

Today we had planned for me to meet his children more officially. I had met them twice before but it was always a quick interaction. Rich and I had decided that we would take Reonna, Zane, Richie, and Angelo out for lunch today.

We also had decided that we would tell the kids soon about me being pregnant soon. Who knows if it will be today or not but it needs to happen soon. My bump is starting to get bigger and I don't know how long I can hide it for.

I turn over and see the time. 10:00am

I need to get up and get ready for this lunch and Angelo is probably going to get dropped off soon because Simon is going out of town.

While Rich was gone Simon really helped me through some things. Like when I would be too sick to even move he would get me what I needed and take care of Angelo for me. It truly was something that I wish Rich was there to help me through but at the end of the day I had to work with the scenario that we were in.

I detangle myself from Rich's arm and he starts to move around. "Baby where are you going?" He says sounding tired "it's 10am we have lunch with the kids at 12 and Angelo is going to get dropped off soon because Simon is going out of town for work." I say putting my robe on to cover my bare body and walking into the bathroom. "So we don't have time for a round three?" I laugh at him and start the water in the shower. "You have until I get out of the shower to lay there. Once I get out you have to start to get ready." I say and I hear him jump out of bed "did you say you were taking a shower without me?" "I did. What's the problem with that?" I say and walk into the steamed up shower. "Why can't I join?" "Because I know what you want to do and we don't have time for that. Also I'm sore." I smirk

After I get out of the shower I tell Rich to get up. I guess he got back in bed once I told him he couldn't shower with me. He slowly gets up and walks into the bathroom.

While I was in the shower I was thinking about us and our future. We still aren't living together but I am seven months pregnant with his child. There is no way I am going to live alone with a new born. He isn't going to get out of the sleepless nights.

"Baby?" I say "yes darling" "well I was thinking while I was in the shower and this whole thing with us living in separate houses isn't going to work when the baby gets here. I'm going to need you in the middle of the night when he wakes up for the fifteenth time. So will you please move in with me?" I say "oh baby I never thought you would ask. Of course I will move in with you."

We finish getting ready and Simon has just dropped off Angelo. We were getting in the car in our normal spots. Rich driving, me in the passenger seat, and Angelo sitting right behind Rich.

"Momma?" He ask "yes peanut?" "When is the baby going to get here?" Rich and I look at each other not knowing what to say.

"What do you mean Angelo?" Rich asked "well when I first met you, mommy got really sick and then you sent me to my bedroom and then I heard mommy say that she was going to have a baby but I thought that was just a joke. But then when daddy came over I heard momma say to him that she was having a baby and then you and mommy were talking about it yesterday. So when is the baby going to get here?" He says

"You told Simon?" Rich says "Hun I had to. For six months he is the only one who could help me. If I was too sick to watch Angelo he would." I say "you know I would have been here if I could." He says looking bad at the road. "Rich I know that but it doesn't take away from that fact that you weren't here and I had to go through everything alone." The car went silent.

After a few moments I spoke up and said: "yes Angelo we are having a baby together but Daddy Two's kids don't know yet. So don't tell them please." "I won't mommy"

We get out of the car and I see Rich's kids already sitting inside. "Adele I'm sorry." "Just stop. Act like nothing is going on and we will talk about it later."
