I woke up the next morning to nasuea of course. I couldn't sleep much all last night, my mind was too busy thinking about Melinda's story and how she came and explained everything last night with an apology. I was making breakfast for Clara and Lizy when suddenly the doorbell rang.

One of the bodyguards soon walked in the kitchen "Mrs. Sinclair?"- "Who is it?" I asked but he didn't answer. What answered my question was Dimitri walking in, he had bags under his eyes. I set down my spatula and crossed my arms over my chest while shaking my head at him like I was his mother.

"You can leave us Gilmore" Dimitri dismissed the guard. We were left alone in the kitchen now "Melinda came over last night and explained everything so no need to waste your breath" I rolled my eyes. That caught him off guard.

"So she told you how she set me up? Because that's what she did" he sighed "Yep, or so you guys tell me" I glared at him for a moment "It's the truth my love, now please come back home with me" he begged. I simply nodded my head no.

"What! Why!?" He said a little too loud, I'm pretty sure the girls are awake now "I need time on my own so if you don't mind, Lizy, and I are living on our own for a few weeks" I said "Yea I do mind actually and weeks??" He asked irritated. I nodded my head yes this time at his question but ignored the rest.

"No Scarlett, you're my wife and you're carrying my baby" he protested. I had enough and stood inches away from his face "I'm sorry but I wasn't asking you Dimitri..." I stated. He simply held the sides of my face and kissed me. Of course I tried pushing him away but I gave up.

He finally pulled away and rested his forehead on mines "Please come back to me soon..." He whispered "Give me at least 2 months, at least to clear my head.... That's all I ask, a small break" I whispered back. He closed his eyes for a moment.

"You'll be 4 months pregnant by then Scarlett, it's too much" he complained again "I've already married you and followed all your damn rules, it's time you listen to me....2 months or I'll seriously leave you after the contract is over, seriously what did you expect? I've only met you for 4 months and look at where we are? Acting as if we knew eachother for far longer" I spat without thinking.

I shut my mouth as soon as I saw him wipe away his tears, "Fine....my one condition is that... You at least let me visit you" he said. I thought about it for a moment "Fine but just not every single day... I know you'll do that" I warned. He nodded and came to kiss my forehead and left without another word.

Once the coast was clear I set down my cooking utensils again and let all of my bottled up emotions out. It felt so good to let everything out, these hormones didn't make it any better for me. I need to find a place and fast.

2 months later.....
Liz and I were sitting on the sofa watching movies all day. My belly had grown so quickly I could hardly hide my bump anymore. I am now 4 months pregnant, I was so excited because on my next doctor's visit we would be able to find out the gender of our baby. Of course Dimitri would accompany me to every single visit in the past.

These past 2 months all I ever recieved was flowers and other gifts, both from Dimitri and Joseph

These past 2 months all I ever recieved was flowers and other gifts, both from Dimitri and Joseph...yep Joseph still wasn't giving up. He said his heart had a bit of hope once I yelled the word divorce in Dimitri's face that day.

Liz passed the bowl of popcorn and I grabbed some more spaghetti "Eww you're going to mix the popcorn with the spaghetti?" Liz cringed. "Yeah, weird cravings" I shrugged and sat back on the couch. It felt nice having a new place, all to myself. Well of course Liz was here but she never bothered me.

The movie finally finished. It was 9 at night. Liz stretched on the sofa "I think I'm heading to bed Scar" she yawned. "Okay" I smiled "Do you need anything else before I go?" She asked. I shook my head no and gave her a reassuring smile. The doorbell rang. I sighed knowing who it could be.

I groaned as I stood up "I'll get it, you can go ahead and head to bed Liz" I said. She didn't hesitate and headed upstairs quickly. I went ahead and opened the door and as expected Dimitri was standing there. He didn't even wait for me to allow him to walk in.

I crossed my arms and closed the door "It's too late for a visit Dimitri" I complained. He kissed my cheek and grabbed my chin for me to face him "I will be here at 8:30 in the morning tomorrow for our doctor's appointment" he smiled. "Okayy" I sighed.

"What do you think the gender is?" He asked enthusiastically "Whatever the gender is we'll see tomorrow I seriously cannot wait" I breathed. The rest of the night Dimitri and I conversated and at some point Dimitri fell asleep on the couch.

I didn't want to bother him, he looked so peaceful sleeping soundly. I smiled at him for a moment and played with his hair. I gently shook him "Dimitri" I whispered. I kept shaking him gently "Dimitri wake up, it's time for you to get home and rest" I whispered.

He slightly opened his eyes and smiled "You are so beautiful.." He whispered and pushed a strand of hair behind my ear. I blushed at his compliment "I think you should go home and sleep" I ignored him.

"Is it okay if we sleep beside eachother tonight? I don't want be away from my baby or you...please just tonight" he begged. I was a bit worried that he might fall asleep on the road and crash so I nodded "I promise I won't try anything funny" he reassured me. "Fine but disclaimer, I have a body pillow, I can't sleep without it" I warned and he just laughed.

"Thats fine, I don't plan on taking up your space" - "Alright well let's go ahead then, I'm tired" I yawned.

I slipped on some sweat pants and a lose t-shirt. I saw Dimitri on the other hand just in his boxers, he didn't bring any pajamas. I sighed and just layed down, i wasn't too worried because he had promised not to try anything funny. Dimitri surprised me when he lifted up my shirt and kissed my bump. "What the hell!?" I asked rolling my eyes and pushing him away gently.

"Goodnight to the 2 most important people in my life" he sighed and turned around

"Goodnight to the 2 most important people in my life" he sighed and turned around. Soon enough he was sound asleep again, I felt safe for the first time in a long time. It was a very cozy feeling. It helped me sleep soundly. "Till tomorrow my love's" I whispered while caressing my belly and looking at Dimitri. Soon sleep consumed me......
