Reunite

Chapter 69

I rearranged our baby's draw because we could not fit anymore babygrows in there if we tried, I half smiled and placed both hands around my stomach. I still couldn't wrap my head around it all, the last few months of my pregnancy had been a blur. Me and Christian were going to be a mum and dad within weeks, every time that tried to process in my head it failed because I always thought I'd be a lot older when I would have my first child. The process was even harder because it was Christian's, when I signed that contract agreement I did not think once i'd be conceiving his child. 

"Anastasia.", I turned around and Christian stood in the doorway, he tucked his hands in his grey trousers and leaned against the door frame. "You ok?", He questioned. 

"I'm fine.", I strolled over to him and wrapped my hands around his lower waist, he kissed the top of my head and lightly sighed. "Why are you back in your work gear, I thought you were going to the gym?".

"I was going to the gym but a few people in the office struggle to meet their simple daily tasks which puts myself and the company behind.", He looked frustrated. I rubbed his shoulder and grabbed his hand, we walked slowly in silence back to the living room until I broke it. 

"That is a shame, I was going to cook tonight.", He grabbed his blazer off the chair and chucked it on quickly. 

"Do you think I'd rather be in work?", I raised my eyebrows at his sudden snap of words, he shut his eyes tightly and cleared his voice. "I'm sorry. I am just so stressed right now, Ana. I want all the important work done before this little one comes along, I want a peaceful paternity leave. I promise, once it's all done it'll be just me, you and our baby.".

"It's ok, listen go back to work and get your things done.", He kissed my cheek. "What time do you think you will be back?", I asked.

"It should not take too long, It's 7:30 now so I'll be home by 10 latest. Go to sleep, you look tired.", I nodded and yawned.

"I wonder why." He chuckled and shook his head. 

"I like to keep you busy.", He pecked my lips and smile against them. "I'll see you when i'm back.", He kissed me quickly again and called the elevator.

"Love you!", I shouted out.

I grabbed my phone and relaxed into the sofa, I yawned again and wiped my tired eyes. "Daddy will be home soon little one.", I whispered. I shut my eyes and darkness surrounded me, I could hear the news in the background but it quickly faded out.

"Ana, his smelling so bad!", I giggled as Christian held our babies bum to his nose. "God, he sure gets that from you." He chuckled and kissed his cheek.

"If you were not holding our baby right now I'd punch you.", Christian changed the babies bum quickly and I re did his baby grow buttons back up, I picked him up and kissed his soft forehead, his eyes opened up slowly and they were a dark hazel brown colour.

"I wonder where he gets his colour eyes from?", I questioned. I heard footsteps get louder and louder before a man stood next to Christian.

"Probably mine, baby.", I gasped at the voice, I looked up from our baby boy and Rory stood tall. "How is my baby doing?".

I jumped out of my deep sleep and heavily panted, even though it was a dream I felt uneasy and panicked. His voice still sent shivers down my spine, I swung my legs off of the sofa and rested my head in my hands. "It was just a dream." I muttered to myself. I got up and went into the kitchen to pour a glass of cold water, I sipped it slowly and realised how hungry I was. I grabbed a packet of potato chips from the cupboard and began slowly picking at them. 

Where was Christian? I looked at my phone and he had not messaged me. It was now 11:30, something must have really been keeping him for him to be home this late. I grabbed my water and chips and walked back to the sofa, I sat down and then the elevator doors pinged opened. I looked up and he stumbled in, he chucked his blazer on the floor and kicked off his shoes. He pulled his tie quickly wrong his neck and let it hang loose while he undone his top two buttons.

"Christian.", His head snapped up and he frowned. "Have you been drinking?", I asked.

"Why are you still up? It is late.", He mumbled.

"I asked you a question first. Are you drunk?", He snorted. 

"The meeting took longer than I thought, drink and food got brought to the table. The deal was finished quickly but I had to do some socialising with the four of them, we went to Nitto's for a few because they wanted to celebrate.", He sat next to me and I could smell the booze on his shirt. 

"Ok, since when do you meet with clients and take them out for celebratory drinks?", He raised his eyebrows and stood.

"Ana, Ana, Ana. I've just secured one of the biggest deals of my career. Of course I am going to celebrate, the amount of money I will earn over five years will boost my business.", He walked towards the kitchen and followed suit.

"Don't you Ana me.", He poured a glass of brandy and held the glass high with a small smirk playing on his lips.

"Oh, Anastasia. Relax, I am home. I have just made a ton of dollars,had some good food and had a few drinks.", He put his glass higher and wobbled a little bit. "To us.", He downed his drink and slammed the glass down on the counter top. "Shame you cannot drink, baby.", He crouched down and kissed my stomach. "All your fault.", He chuckled.

"Come on.", I wiped my eyes and heavily sighed, he began to pull another drink but I pulled his glass away. "No more, Christian. Let's go to bed.".

"Now you are talking. Celebratory sex?", I rolled my eyes and struggled to hide my smile. He was so childish and relaxed when he was drunk, the total opposite of the Christian I knew. 

"No. I am talking celebratory sleep, let's go.", I ushered him to the bedroom and he was tripping over his own feet, he clasped on the bed and ran his fingers through his short hair. 

"I love it when you are bossy. Now that shit turns me on, come here.", He pulled me towards him gently, I laid beside him and kissed his cheek. "I love you.", Within minutes loud drunken snores filled the bedroom air, I laid on my own pillow and curled up into a ball. 

And there you have it, I am officially back. I am sorry it took a while! I'm trying to get back into the routine of writing and trying to get back into their heads again. 

Thank you for the recent comments, made me so happy that you guys want me to continue.
