Daddy's Best Friend

Chapter Twenty-Eight

4 months later...

I was sitting in the backyard drinking a cup of warm tea while watching Grayson and Dallas playing catch. 

My baby bump was visible now and we were slowly starting to tell people. We have looked at so many houses and we  actually went with the first house we looked at. We get our new couches tomorrow and then the house will be completely done. 

"Alright guys. It is getting late almost time for bed time." I said and stood up holding my tea in one hand and the other on my baby bump.

They both started walking towards me and the house with their bottom lips pouted out. "Awe I know I am a meany. But, someone has to be the adult here." I said and ruffled Dallas's hair. 

I followed them into the house and walked into the kitchen as they went upstairs. I could hear giggles from upstairs and I smiled knowing that they were having their nightly tickle fights. Minutes later Gray walked down in basketball shorts and messy hair.

"How are my girls doing?" he asked and rubbed my belly and kissed my cheek.

"Girls, huh?You think it's going to be a girl?" I asked. 

"Yep." he said confidently.

"You are going to be so disappointed when you find out you're wrong." I said.

"Oh and you are so sure it is a boy because..?" he asked and put away the hand towels that were out scattered on the island.

"I just have a hunch. Anyway, we will find out next week when we go to the doctor." i said and started to walk up the steps. 

"Leah." I heard a tiny voice whisper as I passed Dallas's room.

"Yes bud?" I said and opened the door wider.

"Can the baby sleep in here with me?" he asked.

"Well you know bud the baby is going to take up a lot of space. With the crib and all the diapers and wet wipes. We might have to get rid of some of you stuff if the baby stays in here with you." I said and sat down on the end of his bed.

"Do you think daddy will still have time for me when baby comes?" he asked.

"Of course he will. Your daddy loves you very very much. He will always have time for you." I said and stood up. "Now get some sleep big guy." I said and fixed his blanket before giving him a kiss on the head.

I walked out of his bed room and closed the door just enough so there was a little crack in the door. Gray's and I's bedroom light was on so I walked in thinking that Gray had already gone in and went to bed.

I was right. He was all curled up in the blankets on my side of the bed. I smiled at him and walked over.

"Sleepy head, move. You are in my spot." i said and nudged him trying to move him over.

"mmmmm. No my side isn't comfortable. Please just one night." he whine and hid his face in the pillow.

"Fine." i said and stomped over to his side of the bed. I got underneath the cover and got comfortable. 

--

"Finally you're awake." Grayson said walking out of the bathroom in a suit. I sat up and rubbed my eyes. "I am going to the office. I have meetings pretty much all day so I might be home late." he said as he put on his dress shoes.

"Okay. Is Dallas still going to Kim's?" I asked.

"No, she called me earlier she had to go on a business trip. He will be here all week."

"What am I supposed to do with him? It's never been just us before."

"Leah, your going to be a mom soon. I am sure you can figure it out." he said and fixed his tie and hair in the mirror. "And i'm sure my mom wouldn't mind taking him for a day."

I just nodded my head and got out of bed. I put on some socks and walked into Dallas's room. He was sound a sleep with his stuffed elephant suffocated in his little arms. 

"Alright I am heading out." Grayson told me as he walked past me out of the kitchen.

"Uhm, excuse me?" I said in a 'duh' voice.

"Right.Sorry." he said and turned around. He pecked my lips and then gave one to my belly.

"See you tonight. Love you." I said and started up the coffee machine.

"Love you too." he said and walked out of the door with his keys in one hand and his brief case in the other. 

I made breakfast and walked upstairs to wake Dallas up. 

"Dal. Bud, you have to wake up." I said as i shook him lightly.

"Whhyy? I'm so sleepy." he whined.

"Because we are going to go shopping then go drop by your dads office for lunch." I said.

"Ewww! Shopping is for girls." He said and sat up crossing his arm.

"I will get you a new toy." I said trying to bribe him

"Deal." He said and jumped up from bed.

"I put some cloths and set your tooth brush on the counter. Is your stool in there?" I asked knowing he was too small to reach the sink.

"Yep." he said and skipped into his bathroom.

I smiled at him and walked back downstairs to the kitchen. I made his plate and put it onto the table, in his spot. 

He came running down the steps and grabbed his plate running into the living room. 

"Hey, hey, hey, eat in here. We have to be quick if we want to shop and get to your dads office in time. He's got a busy day." I said. He sighed and walked back over to the table and sat down.

-

"Are we almost there?" Dallas whined from the backseat.

"Yes bud. I am pulling in now." I said and turned into the parking lot for Grayson's and my dads building.

I got Dallas out of the backseat and we walked into the building, greeting Candice then going to the elevator. 

Dallas was holding the food in one hand and my hand in the other. I knocked on his office door and walked in. I stopped in my tracks as I saw a blonde sitting on his desk and he was standing between her legs. They weren't doing anything but it sure as hell looked like they were about to.

"Hey, babe." he said and back away from the girl and fixing his tie, that looked like it had been loosened.

"Dallas you go ahead and eat with your dad. I'm going to go home." I said and bent down giving him a kiss on the head before turning around and walking out.

I walked to the elevator and before it closed Grayson pried it open. "Leah, please let me explain." he said and got into the elevator with me.

"Explain what, Grayson? I saw you standing in between another women's legs as she sat on your desk! That shows me all I need to know." I said and didn't look him in the eyes.

"She is just an old friend. I know it looked very very wrong but I promise you that it wasn't like that. I admit we are a bit too comfortable around each other. I'm sorry." he pleaded.

"Are you fucking with me right now? How stupid do you think I am? You don't that close with an 'old friend'. Especially when you have a girlfriend, who might I add, is pregnant with your baby." I said and the elevator dinged and I walked right past him out to my car.

I wasn't going to cry, not in front of him.I was more angry that sad, as of right now. I got into my car and started for the house.

I walked up to out bedroom and packed an overnight bag. I couldn't stay here tonight, I am too pissed off to even hear him out.

So I packed my bag and walked out driving to my dads house.

These are going to be a fucking couple of days.
