An Unexpected Boss

Chapter Two: An unexpected positive

When Monday came around I was less than excited. It should have been a great moment, but it was one of the worst days of my life. I practically ran into Kary's office. "I'm late" I blurted out. She stared at me. "Seriously?" She said looking down at her watch. "You're 10 minutes early" she said rolling her eyes. I flopped down onto one of the chairs closest to me. "No Kary I'm late" I said. Her eyes went wide as she finally registered what I had said.

"What, who, when, how" she blurted out. "Well remember how is told you about my one night stand" I started but never got to finish. Kary was up on her feet. "No, it can't be no!!" she basically screamed. I just looked at the ground and nodded. "You haven't slept with anyone for 4 weeks! How are you alive?" she said. "Kary this is not the time for jokes" I retorted. "This is why I had the no one night stand rule, why didn't I just follow my rule!"

I said bringing my head down to my knees. Kary ran over to my side. "Oh honey it will be ok, everything will work out" She said rubbing my back. Before I could stop myself I was crying. I don't know how long I was crying for and I didn't care to know.

"Sweetie didn't you use protection" Kary whispered. "Yes Kary I'm not an idiot" I barked. "Then how are you pregnant?" she asked confused. "I don't know" I said honestly. I didn't want to be near her anymore, I just needed to be alone. "I should go" I said as I stood up and left her office. I didn't need to look at her face to know that she was concerned.

I made my way to my new office. I was almost there when I came face to chest with someone. Papers flew all around us. "I'm sorry are you alright" I heard as hands went around my waist to keep me steady. "Y-yeah I'm fine" I stuttered. His hands lingered on my waist. I cleared my throat and looked up at his face. Instantly I noticed the specs of green in his blue eyes. He removed his hands from my waist and we stood there in silence. "So I need to talk to you about something, can I come by your office later?" I asked. Why am I so awkward?
"Of course" he said smiling. I smiled back and went into my office.

Max's P.O.V
Something was familiar about London. I couldn't help but smile when I thought of her. I know she asked me to call her Lilly, but I liked London better. She was different, awkward. Everything about her was familiar, and I couldn't remember her. No matter how many times I studied her long black hair, and piercing icy blue eyes it never clicked. The only thing I knew was that there was something between us, I felt it when I touched her.

There was a knock on the door and my hands started to shake. I knew who it was and I was nervous. "Come in" I said. Before she came into the room, I grabbed a pen and pretended I was deep into a case. "Is this a bad time?" She asked and I couldn't help but smile at the sound of her voice. "Of course not sit down" I said motioning to a chair. I took a deep breath trying calm myself down. What is this woman doing to me?
Lilly's P.O.V.
He looked breath taking as always. His sandy blonde hair was sticking out every which way. You could tell that it took its form from his hand running through it in frustration. I wondered what his hair would look like after I told him. I started to freak out inside. How was I going to do this. Should I just blurt it out? I took a deep breath. Here goes nothing.

"I'm pregnant" I blurted out incoherently. "What?" I heard him say. I took another deep breath and said slowly "I'm pregnant". He looked at me confused. "Oh you are here to discuss the firms maternity leave policy" he said as he rifled through some papers. "Um no That's not why I'm here" I said looking at the floor. He started to say something but I cut him off. "It's yours" I said quickly but audibly. I looked up at his face and instantly regretted doing so.

He stared at me in disbelief. Shock, confusion, and anger splayed across his face. Who could blame him, some woman whom he slept with 4 weeks ago is in his office telling him she's pregnant with his child. It's only the normal reaction. I stayed quiet for a few minutes to let him digest the news. "I know you are confused and probably think I'm a lunatic but um a few weeks ago we met at a club-" before I could continue he interrupted me.

"Lilly" he said. I looked at him and I could tell he had remembered me now. "But we used protection it can't be mine" he said panicked. "How can you be sure that it's mine, are you even sure your pregnant" he said. I know that it was shocking news, but I was offended. He basically called me a slut, maybe I was overreacting, maybe it was the hormones, but I was upset. "I don't know how this happened. Maybe the condom had a hole or it broke, or it just didn't work. Condoms are not 100% effective you know! The same thing happened to Rachel and Ross on Friends, but I mean that is a television show it's not exactly real, but that's besides the point. I took a pregnancy test so, yes I am positive that I am pregnant. Also I haven't slept with anyone, except for you, in the last 4 weeks so you are the father of the baby that is growing inside of me" I yelled.

I was on my feet now and I was pacing back and forth. I was trying to calm down, but nothing was working. I looked at him. He was deep in thought and I couldn't help but feel guilty. "Say something" I said quietly. "I don't know what to say" he said. I nodded I understood where he was coming from. "You don't have to be involved in any of it if you don't want to. Just say the word and it'll be like I never said anything" I said.

Before he could say anything I said "I made an appointment with the gynecologist at 1:00pm, you can come if you want to, if you don't come that's fine" I said. "Ok" was all he said. I sighed and left his office.

How did this become my life?
