He Who Conquers Others Is Strong, He Who Conquers Himself Is Mighty

Scandal

Thank you, everyone, for being so understanding. I thought I should post today being that it feels an eternity since I last updated for you all. I hope you enjoy, if there's anyone reading my updates anymore... Please bare with me. Thank you xx

"have you heard anything from Amelia yet?" Jamie asked me. It was lunch time and I was sitting with her, getting some fresh air outside our building. "nope. But we only asked her last night" I laughed at her. She grinned but shrugged. "I know, but- I'd have thought she would be like yes! instantly y'know. I woulda bitten your hand off for an opportunity like that" she said and I nodded. "I think she thinks that, but I know how cautious she is. And she'll feel like she needs to take a few days, even if she already knows the answer she's going to give us." I replied, smelling my 'birthday cake' bagel before licking off the frosting. "dude, that shit is disgusting" Jamie frowned at the delicious treat in my hands. "oh shut up. it's utterly orgasmic." I sighed, "And thanks to my dear husband, it's the closest I'm getting to that right now" I added. "ouch...he still not putting out?" She asked me as I took a bite. I sent her a scowl and she had her answer. "the bloody idiot still thinks it's weird." I huffed. "it's kinda sweet though" Jamie confessed and I almost coughed up my bagel. "Jamie. I am sexless. I have not had anything since we conceived this baby. and my hormones are raging." I stated. "not to mention that oaf of mine insists on parading around the house shirtless or in those ridiculously tight- ripped -shorts of his and he doesn't have a clue!" I whined. "well I tell ya, when I've had this baby and I'm in the clear- as soon as he starts sniffing around me like a dog on heat, I'll be giving him the worlds worst case of blue balls." I snapped before snatching a rather aggressive bite of my bagel.

"Hey baby" J smiled down the phone at me. "hey" I smiled back, as I typed away, tucking my phone between my shoulder and my cheek. "what time are we at the scan tomorrow?" he asked me and I smiled. "10.30" I replied, feeling the excitement bubbling up inside me. "awesome" he chuckled, "Gronk has asked me and Dola round to his later on for a guy's night, if that's okay?" he asked and I smiled. "sure it is." I nodded, "I think I'll want an early night anyway. I'm just totally knackered by 8 now"

"I know baby" he chuckled, "I carried you up to bed last night remember?" he laughed. "I seriously thought I was gonna put my back out!" he teased me. I snorted at him and rolled my eyes. "you sayin' I'm fat Edelman?" I suggested and he chuckled more, "bagels baby, that's all I'm sayin'" he teased some more. "you can say that now, but when I get home I'm gonna sit on ya" I warned him and he laughed louder. "you know I'm playin short stack. You look frickin beautiful right now" he told me with a softness to his voice. I fell for it too and my butterflies were off once again. "yeah well, you better mean that, because right now I got the worst heartburn and I feel like a beached whale" I sighed, and he laughed. Again. "babe you're still tiny. You got the cutest bump I've ever seen...and you're still a sexy beached whale..." He said with amusement. "aaand I'm going to hang up on you" I said, about to cut the call when I heard his loud laughter again. "I'll see you at home in a little while babe?" he asked -still giggling. "I suppose you will...my bed is there after all" I sighed. "awesome. Love you bubs" 

"love you too" I grinned before he rang off. I shook my head and put my phone down on the desk beside the 'Wifey' mug he had gotten me for my office. I couldn't wait to get home. Each day that passed had me more tired than the one before. I had read about the lethargy being a killer but Jesus, I was wanting to curl up on my couch over there. I had even fantasised about bringing a blanket in with me for a little afternoon nap. It wouldn't be such a silly idea really. Get Jamie to screen all my calls for a few hours. Shut the blinds, lock the door and I could have forty winks and freshen up a little. Bliss. Maybe tomorrow. I had to get this contract drawn up and signed off before the day was out. Then I could have a little break. A little snack and put my swollen feet up and scroll through the utter rubbish that was on the gossip sites. I had to do something with my free time that wasn't all baby related...but I was soon to find out that even I couldn't escape the scandal....

"You have got to be fucking kidding me?!" I slammed my phone down onto my desk and sat back in my chair, rubbing over my bump. "what sick motherfucking bastard would do shit like that?!" I yelled. Seconds later the door flew open and Jamie's head popped round the doorframe. "are you okay?!" she asked me, wide eyed and breathless- probably from rushing down to my office. "I heard you yelling. Is baby okay?!" she fussed, moving in and closing the door. I let out a sigh and nodded. "baby's fine" I said, still rubbing my tummy. "but some fucking dickhead is going to be in a world of pain when I find out who said it!" I angrily yelled again. "said what?" Jamie asked, moving to sit on the couch. "THIS!!!" I yelled again, after typing frantically on my mac, I spun the monitor around for her to see. "rumours have been circulating this morning about the true paternity of Penelope Edelman's baby.." Jamie read, "WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK?!" She gasped looking up at me. I had my angriest face on and just nodded back at her. She continued to read, "'it has been anonymously brought to our attention that the NFL star's wife -who is currently 6 months pregnant -has been getting friendly with another man behind the Wide Receiver's back.' well that's just a crock of shit" Jamie scoffed standing up straighter and moving back to the couch. "nothing's true. You're not even 6 months pregnant yet" she said. "who would even want to make shit like that up?" she frowned, looking confused. "I can think of a few people." I hissed through gritted teeth. Jamie's eyed went wide again. "Ella? surely she wouldn't? Even she's not that stupid." Jamie questioned. "I wouldn't fucking put it passed her. Look how needy she is around J. And to start asking Danny questions about him-us- when you guys were on holiday...Nah, this has her written all over it." I snarled, "and the bitch is gonna get what's coming to her.
