Cameron POV
"Aleyah babe, we have a dinner to attend tonight with a couple of businesses interested-"
"I know Cam, you told me a zillion times already." Aleyah says combing Maddy's hair.
"I mean it's already five, and we only have two hours. You know how you are when it comes to getting ready for something. You need every minute of it." she gives me a blank stare. She's been so emotional. It's because of the hormones.
"Well, I'm sorry I'm a whale and I can't move as fast as you."
"Baby, I didn't mean it like that. I think your weight is fine. Pregnancy has never looked so good." I kiss her cheek. "Now Nolan's ready. Just hurry up with Maddy. I will run them to your Mom's house, and you will be or will be getting ready when I come back right?"
"Alright." she sighs. I hope I wasn't stressing her out.

"Babe, I know you don't want to do this but it's imperative that we attend this dinner." I say as we sat in the parking lot of the restaurant.
"Cameron, I know. I'm just really ready to get this over with. My feet hurt, and I'm craving pickles again." She whines.
"I'll rub your feet as soon as we get home. And I will put your pickles in the freezer, sense you like them frozen."
"I don't. The baby does." she smiles a little. I get out and open her door, helping her out. "Ew it smells in here." she holds her nose.
"It's garlic baby. Please just-"
"I'm fine Cam. I won't embarrass you okay?" she walks ahead of me and comes to a complete stop when she sees the McClintocks. But this time, Mr. McClintock's son, Tracy's husband, Jay was with them. He stares Aleyah down, causing my defensive side to come out. I step in front of her.
"You must be Jay. I'm Cameron Phillips." I stick out my hand. He just smirks, nod, and walk to our table taking a seat. Tracy followed him.
"Excuse my son," Mr. McClintock shakes my hand instead. "He has a bad attitude." he says to me, but kept his eyes on Aleyah as well. Am I missing something here? I wanted to ask. But maybe they were just admiring her beauty. I find myself doing that a lot lately. I place my hand on her lower back, possessively and guide her to our table. All eyes on Aleyah Day or what? I pull out her chair helping her in. The Jay prick just couldn't take his eyes off of her, and it's beginning to drive me nuts! I think this is going to be an interesting night.
Aleyah POV
I couldn't believe this is happening. They're literally sitting here talking business like none of that stuff back in Texas ever happened. I look to Cameron. Examining his chiseled jaw, and pearly perfect smile. I bite my lip at the sight of his moving as he spoke. I look down to the front of his pants. Oh boy. The second time, I've gotten turned on in public. But I just had to have it. I blame the baby. I pull out my phone and send him a text. 'Baby, it's happening again. Meet me in the bathroom in three minutes.' I know I know, it sounds dirty but that's just one of the many cravings I've been having.
"Excuse me. I'm gonna go to the girls room. Getting a little lightheaded. Cam make sure Maddy and Nolan are behaving babe." I push away from the table, and hurry down the hall to the bathroom.
