Alex's POV

It's been two weeks since Ezra has found out I loved him and he hasn't left my side since then. I woke up with an empty spot in the bed and I immediately missed the warmth his body created. The door was slowly being opened and I lifted my head from my pillow to see Ezra in nothing but a pair of sweatpants carrying a tray of sweets. "Well it looks like my little star is finally awake," I flipped myself over and rested on the headboard as I watched him walk closer to me. He sat down on the side of the bed and placed the tray down on my lap. Looking down I saw that is was a plate of bacon and eggs with a donut that had a candle in it. "Happy birthday my star," he said while he leaned down and placed a soft kiss on my lips. Pulling away from the kiss I look to see a smile formed on his face.

A small whimper was heard for the cot next to the bed. Both of our heads turned at the same time. He walked over and picked up the small form and came back to sitting down next to me. I dug into the food in front of me and looking up to see Estella on Ezra's lap looking up at him. A sweet giggle escaped her lips as he tickled her small feet. I can already tell that she was going to be a daddy's girl. Removing the tray off my lap I grabbed the small figure and began to feed her.

Ezra got up and walked over to the closet. He came out shortly in a navy blue suit with a black shirt and burgundy tie. "I have to go in for a couple of meetings my star but I should be back in time to take you to dinner and I will have my mother come and pick Estella so we won't be interrupted tonight," he said as he placed and kiss on my forehead and one on the top of my butterfly's head. He left the room leaving us alone.

"Well it looks like it is just me and you my butterfly," I said as I grabbed the remote and flipped on Netflix. I placed her back in her bassinet and pulled Ezra's pillow closer to my chest and closed my eyes allowing the darkness to take over.

Time Skip

Charlotte has finally left with Estella and now I was standing in the closet looking at all these stupid dresses that I knew I was not going to wear. I pulled out a burgundy high low off the shoulder dress and placed it on my body. Looking in the mirror I could still see the small bump from my pregnancy. As I was walking out of the closet I saw Ezra sitting patiently on the bed looking down on his phone. Jumping back a little which caused him to look up at me with a smile. "You look perfect my star, go finish up and I will still be here waiting for you," I gave him a simple nod. I made my way over to the bathroom and added a soft amount of curls to my hair and placing a very small amount of makeup on. Making my way back to the room, Ezra was standing by the door ready to leave.

    We walked out of the room and through the rest of the house to see his car already parked in front of the door

We walked out of the room and through the rest of the house to see his car already parked in front of the door. He opened the door letting me get in and he walked around to the other side of the car and entered. "There are going to be some rules that will be in placed tonight." I looked over at him and started to shake softly. "First of all you are to talk to no one unless I say that it is okay and when we get there you are going to go by the name May," he started the car and began to drive out of the driveway.

"Do you understand me Alex," I nodded my head in response. "I need to hear you my star."

"Y-yes," I whispered loud enough for him to hear. His large hand was placed on a park of my exposed thigh. Most of the car ride was silent until Ezra was screaming on the phone about so shipment that need to be to the clients by the morning.

Pulling up to a fancy looking restaurant, Ezra got out of the car and came to let me out. He throw his keys at the young boy in front of the door. Once we were inside, all the people had their heads bowed down in respect to him as he pulled me along to a small room in the back , where a small table for two was set up with lilies in a vase and two perfect plates of chicken alfredo with a basket of garlic beard. "Happy birthday again my star," he said while placing a soft kiss on my head.
