Mimi: First off, you were making ridiculous demands with all the different changes you wanted to make right off the bat. I have to do something to keep you from ruining my gym and its reputation. Second, I'm sure you got the paperwork for me to buy you out, since it's clear you have never managed a gym before in your career. So, not that we know who each other are, in regards to the gym, where do we go from here?

Sam: I think we need to try to get on the same page as far as the gym goes, since I have decided not to sell my 40%. I'm more than willing to work with you and learn how to run this place as long as you stop teaching classes for the sake of our baby. It took everything in me not to come in today and beat that guy up who was trying to hit you in this classroom. Kyle and Saul, my security chief, had to point out that your sparring partner was holding back and not taking obvious shots if they came anywhere near your belly. Saul also said given his skill level that guy could have taken me out with a few moves. Anyway, making you manager was my way of compromising so that you could still be here, but not have such strenuous activity on a daily basis.

Mimi: Saul is right, Jimmy could take you done rather quickly, and I know he was holding back. He is going to be taking over teaching my classes completely once the doctor's instructions tell me to cut back. When we go you will see that exercise is a good thing when you are pregnant. It will help keep me in shape so that my delivery will be easier, plus it makes getting my figure back after the baby is born happen faster as well. I'm sure the doctor will back me up on this matter.

Sam: From what I saw, Jimmy is an excellent choice, my love. As for the exercise issue, I will yield until our doctor appointment on Tuesday. Now, can we go get something to eat, I'm starving and you need to feed our baby.

I lean up and give him a quick kiss, before telling him this conversation is far from over. We return back to the office with our arms around each other and see Jeff gathering his things.

Jeff: I'll be back in the morning to work on this some more. What I have found so far is more than enough for a conviction, but I want to do a deeper dive to see what else I can find.

Mimi: Thank you, Jeff. I will see you in the morning, I have a class at 8:30am so I will be in by 7:30am.

Sam: Well, looks like I will be here most of the day as well.

He shakes hands with Jeff and then takes your keys to lock up the office. Walking about as a group you all make small talk, saying goodnight to the evening receptionist as you leave out the door. Sam holds it open for you and slips his arm around your waist to pull you close as he leads you to his car. Grabbing his phone, you order a deluxe extra-large dripping with cheese pizza to be delivered to your home and he drives to your place. You arrive just as the delivery driver does and as Sam pays as you move to the front door to open it. Going inside you slip off your shoes and head to the kitchen to get plates, glasses and the pitcher of ice tea you made yesterday morning before work. Sam puts the pizza on the coffee table in the living room before taking the pitcher and pouring you each a tall glass. You ask him if he would rather have a beer and he waves you off, so you join him on the couch and reach for the pizza. Before you can take a bite, he pulls you onto his lap and begins kissing you. Though your mind would love to follow through on the promises his kisses are giving you, your body has other ideas as your stomach begins growling loudly. Laughing as he pulls back, Sam lets you move back to sit beside him.

Sam: Ha, it looks like we need to feed our baby before we can feed our desire. Patience, my love, I plan on feeding that all night long.

Mimi: I did kinda miss breakfast this morning due to a certain hot guy who insisted on a round of morning festivities in his bed.
