The Boss's Daughter [Richard Armitage fanfic]

Chapter 42 - Love will solve, love will heal

2016 is hereee!!!! I hope you had a great beginning of the year like I did! I FINALLY HAVE MY DRIVING LICENCE!! It was the best new year gift I could ever receive... I did the exam in 20 minutes and I made it! It was part of my independence I was looking for and now I finally have it. I couldn't be more happy! Get off the road girls, I'm driving now ;) Hehehe I'm sorry, I'm just really excited...

Now the chapter! 

Richard's POV

-So, Richard. How's Olivia? –Amanda asked, smiling at me. I had a volcano boiling in my stomach just by looking at her face and knowing what she did to Olivia and me.

-"How's Olivia" bulshit. You are quiet, I'm the one who's speaking. –I said, harshly, but in a low tone. I didn't want to call the attention of the people in the streets, so I grabbed her arm and pulled her into a corner.

-But... -she tried.

-But nothing. Since the day I was caught by the police that I have a lot of things to tell you. What were you thinking?! Were you out of your mind? You almost put me in the jail! –I said, a fever flowing inside my body. She looked scared and put her back against the wall.

-I love you, Richard! Everything I did was to protect you from that snake! –she shouted. I instantly grabbed her arm tightly and got closer to her.

-Snake? You don't call names to my wife, do you understand me? You can't even reach her feet, you little whore! –I screamed back, releasing her arm roughly. She had tears in her eyes and her breath was rushing.

-You dare to hurt a pregnant woman? Oh, Richard... Please don't hurt your child... -she said, crying. She tried to take my hand and put it in her belly, but I shook it off.

-Are you insane?! Do you even hear yourself? –I shouted, my throat hurting. Every pore of my skin was breathing madness, that woman should be in a psychopath hospital for the rest of her days.

-Of course it's not your child, but... I've always imagined if it was true. That he'll have your eyes and your mouth... -she said, smiling, lost in her crazy thoughts.

-Nonsense! How can you even say that you love me when you have a son on your belly? Another's man son?! Listen to me... You better behave yourself, or I'll send you to a hospital. You are not ok, you've lost your mind! Stay away from me and Olivia, Amanda. I had no idea how mad you were, but now I have. You don't even deserve the baby in your belly... Don't you ever come look for me or Olivia again. You don't know what I'm capable of. –I said, turning around and going away. Sweat on my forehead, my neck and ears were burning. I needed to calm down and breathe. I got inside the restaurant and sat with Ian. I needed to relieve my nerves, so I told him everything. I wasn't sure if I wanted to tell Olivia or not. She was already so busy with work and worried about the twins... After I settled down, I ate my lunch and we got back to work. I was already so pissed of, that if someone messed up with my nerves, I would seriously blow out.

(Okivia's POV)

-Pregnant?! Is that even for real? –I pratically gasped when Richard told me that about Amanda. I threw my bag and jacket to the couch and sat there, waiting for my husband to join me.

-Yes, I really think she is lying. That must be some kind of trick to take us for fools... -he said, sitting on the couch next to me and throwing his head back. His eyes closed and he sighed, running a hand through his hair.

-Do you think she is planning something, Richard? –I asked, starting to get seriously worried about that encounter. He looked at me, a huge question mark in his look.

-I wish I could say no... But this is really suspicious, the way she spoke to me, the look in her eyes. We both know that woman is crazy, she can be very dangerous... -he said, pulling my arm so I could lay my head on his chest. I did so, however, I was everything but relaxed.

-Honey, what if she wants to take our babies for herself? –I said, looking up at him.

-What do you mean Livy? –he asked, rubbing his thumb on my cheek.

-What if she is faking all this pregnancy and then she'll kidnap James and Autumn... It can't be that, she wouldn't do such thing! –I said, already in panic just by imagining that perfect living nightmare. I moved away from him and started to bite my nails and scratch my head, while my brain kept seeing that filthy woman grabbing my babies and run away with them.

-Hey, hey... Calm down, my love. It's ok, that won't happen. Your brain is already imagining things, I won't let her do that, ok? I will protect you and our jewels forever, as long as I live. –he said, resting his hands on my shoulders and turning me to face him again. My eyes were teary. I couldn't even think about my babies suffering.

-I'm afraid... -I finally said, whispered. As the amazing husband he is, his arms pulled me into a hug and we both lay down on the couch. My ear automatically glued to his chest and I focused on his heartbeat. That soft "boom boom... boom boom..." was exactly what I needed to calm myself down. It made me feel so good, knowing that he was there, living, breathing, smiling tenderly at me. And I knew he was not leaving, he was going to be there for me and for the twins forever.

-Hush now, my love... Think about the amazing future we will have as a family. You and Autumn will be cooking gingerbread cookies for Christmas day, as me and James will be setting our Christmas tree ready. Or even better. You'll dress him up for his first football game and I'll be running to pick Autumn at school, so we won't lose his match. –he said, making me laugh. I looked up at him and he was smiling so tenderly and sweetly.

-You will be an amazing dad, I can't wait to see you changing diapers. –I said, challenging him with my look.

-What? Do you doubt on my skills of changing a diaper? –he said, his hands sneaking under my blouse. Silly husband I had, so naughty, even in a serious conversation!

-Yes, I would love to see you change a baby with poop everywhere. That's my challenge for you. –I said, kissing his chin. He looked rather confused, which made me laugh at the corner of his neck.

-I have a challenge for you too. –he said, holding my waist up. He got up from the couch and stood there, smirking at me. –Catch me if you can. –he said. Little kid! He ran up the stairs and I followed. Our laughs filled with happiness echoing through the entire house. Once I got inside the room, he came behind me and picked me up. The next thing I felt was a soft bed in my back and a heavy man on top of me.

-Now, I have another proposition for you, my lady. –he said, kissing my neck, jawline and earlobe, while his hands traveled through my body, trying to find a way to get rid of my clothes.

-And what is it, my man? –I asked, completely lost in uncontrolled laughs. He was making me tickles, that bastard.

-Make love to me. –he whispered, taking off his jacket.

-Now that's a sweet preposition... Can I say no? –I said, playing with his hair in my fingers.

-You can, but you will lose this perfect, sexy and erotic man for the entire night. –he answered, making me blush. We both laughed as I gave him space to take off my blouse. He was so sweet and loving all the time. So careful not to hurt me or the babies, but so powerful and delicious, like always. 

Here is a kind of spoiler: Amanda will not stop here, unfortunately. Yes, she will do something quite bad, but it won't last, I promise! 

As Olivia is 3 months pregnant, I will probably skip some months forward, so we don't get "stuck in time". I will not be rushing things out, but I think its the best thing to do :) 

See you in the next chapter! <3
