Over Her Head 2

4.Secrets

Chapter 4

Just wanted to thank the people who have held on for this story. I realized that the updates have been slow; I warned you they would be, but thanks for staying with me. The reason the updates are so slow is my memory has been affected by the stroke, so I have to go back and re-read the first Over Her Head every time before I publish a new chapter and make sure that it's right, and sometimes I can't do it as fast as I would like, so please understand, and don't ask me about updates.

In Olivia's office...

"God, I wish we could've-"

"Made love? I know baby." Nick said as he caressed her lips. "We haven't exactly had time since last weekend."

"You don't know what a struggle it is, lying next to David every night and wishing it was you; it's torture! Luckily you're only gone till Monday." She said and kissed him. "And luckily I already took the day off..."

"...and I can't wait! I'll call you when I land. I love you, and I love you too." He said to the baby, as he had his hands on her belly.

"We love you; especially me! Give Zara a big kiss for me?"

"I will." He said and he gave her a long look before he leaned in and kissed her on the lips, only breaking apart when air became necessary. "I'm gonna make you so happy!"

"I already am!" She said and kissed him again. Call me."

"I will." And he walked out of her office and shut the door.

She smiled before she made her way around the desk to sit in her chair, placing her hands on top of her belly and began to rub it softly when the baby began moving, while she thought about NIck. God, she felt like a teenager with their first love! That's how he made her feel. And while she knew that this wouldn't be easy telling David that she was leaving; she couldn't wait until she and Nick were free to be together, out and in the open.

So far, only Elliot knew that they were back on, and she suspected Fin did too since he and Nick were so close. And even though Fin was her friend, she didn't dare ask him.

"Whoa, little guy!" She said to the baby. It felt like he was doing gymnastics inside her with his kicking and movement. "You've gotta calm down in there, little man" She soothingly ran her hands across her belly, hoping to get him in a more tranquil mood when her cell phone rang and she saw that it was David

She debated in her her head for a moment whether she should pick it up, but quickly did away with that thought. You're being silly! She said to herself. He could be calling about the girls. She thought asshe sat up in her chair and answered the phone. "David, hey."

"Hey yourself." He chirped sounding upbeat. "So, you ready?"

Ready? "For what? Damn this pregnancy brain! She thought, trying to remember just what exactly she was supposed to be ready for.

"Baby, you have a doctor's appointment in an hour. Remember?"

"Right. I'm sorry, David. I don't know where my mind is half the time."

"Well, that's why you have me." He smiled as he turned a corner in his car. "How's my boy doing?"

"He's pulverizing my insides!" She laughed.

"Well, five more weeks till he's out. It'll fly by."

"So says you." She said as he grinned.

"I'll be there in five, see you in a few."

She quickly hung up and reached for the picture of David and the girls that was sitting on her desk, and sighed as she looked at it. Living this lie was draining her! But still, she knew that once everything was settled and in place, everyone would understand; hopefully.
