Ringing the door bell dreading her first day of work Rosalinda hiked her laptop higher, leaning it against her hip waiting for the door to open.

"Coming." She heard Leon grumble.

Anticipation bubbled in her stomach making her nervous and antsy. It was hard staying still as she waited.

She was greeted by Leon in nothing but a pair of sweats with sleeping Jo sleeping with her head on his shoulder.

"You're very early." He groaned.

Rosalinda smiled arrogantly. "Yes, I know."

Allowing herself in she couldn't help but think about the time she spent helping Leon heal after coming home from the hospital; also how he humiliated her.

That was all in the past now, she was different and more confident in herself.

"Your office is this way. I accommodated it with some of Jo's necessities." He led her through the same hallway toward his office only another door was now present.

The office was basic and simple, a desk with a chair and littered with baby items.

"Perfect, I'll get started." Rosalinda placed her laptop on the table and turned to take Jo from Leon. "You should start getting ready, I'll wait till Jo is awake while you send me the contract and I'll revise it if I need to. I also already emailed to your schedule for today, some meetings had to be arranged as well as a baby and me class you requested a month ago."

Rosalinda spoke softly as she bounced Jo in her arms. Jo simply hummed in comfort and remained sleeping.

"A what class?" Leon asked annoyed. Even though it was early in the morning and he was already losing his temper, Rosalinda couldn't help but have her eyes trail up and down his very built and muscular body.

The light hairs that dusted his chest leading down his navel, had Rosalinda come up with a couple ideas of how to make him hiss in pleasure involving nothing but her mouth and can of whipped cream. Why did Leon have to be shirtless? Or have the body of a Greek god?

"Are you done or am I going to have to dose you with water?"

Rosalinda blinked a couple times to refocus. "The baby and me class. You know the place where you go and learn early communicating skills and better the bond between child and parent."

Leon released a heavy sigh. "I must have been drunk off my ass. I'm not going."

That was pretty selfish of him. More time with Jo would be beneficial for the both of them, especially if Leon was going to raise Jo as a single parent, all while running a company.

"I'll go then. If you reconsider I'll see you there." Rosalinda placed Jo in the small crib and flipped open her laptop.

She heard Leon grunt and patted away to shower and dress.

It wasn't long before Leon's departure that Rosalinda was able to relax a little and fool around with Josephine. They played with blocks and bright toys. Not to mention the small one-person fashion show she had with Jo and her numerous collection of clothing; Rosalinda just couldn't resist.

Her phone chimed from time to time asking to transfer the call to Leon's office and other small miscellaneous things, but nothing major.

Jo complained from the play pen making Rosalinda leave her work and attend to the child.
