I lost this chapter while I was at three-fourth, had to type everything again. God!

"... don't understand."

"I want to... he deserves better."

"... He is mine... care a bit. Stay out of it."

"Why? You don't make sense Robert... Let him go if you..."

"... over my dead body."

"Then get a div..."

"How... of your business. Get out!"

"Why not! You..."

I woke up to voices from my nap. Well, I did not remember lying down. Princess had a slight fever for two days and it broke only last night. So, we were both tired. We were playing in her playroom downstairs, she fell asleep and I thought lying on my back, was better while reading her story.

Viola! Passed out like a log.

I rubbed the sleep away and followed the voices to 'Robert's Office' at the far end. That was what literally written on his door. Goof Ball!

Wow!

They must be screaming at each other if the sound reached all way to the playroom. Robbie's office was mostly sound proof, with a gigantic thick wooden door which I could only open with pushing both of my hands and using all of my body weight against it.

I knocked but I did not think anyone inside heard it over the shouting. I went in surprised to see Jason.

"When did you...?" I yawned big behind my hand, tears filling up my eyes. God, I was tired.

I noticed Jason was panting like he ran a marathon and Robbie was trying his best not to strangle him to death.

I walked to Big Baby and rubbed his chest, leaning to him. I felt him sniffing my hair. Weirdo! "You two realize there is a tiny baby napping in this house, right? What were you fighting about?"

They both looked at each other guiltily. "Sorry, Angel, did we wake you up from your nap?"

"Yeah but it is okay, I have to prepare lunch anyway. Jason, are you staying?"

"No, he is leaving, Angel. Oh and Jason I expect you to finish the report by tomorrow 11 a.m."

"With pleasure Boss Man, it is an honour." Jason politely replied but I could see the middle finger in Jason's mind clearly and from Robbie's narrowed eyes, he could too.

"Are you guys back to being enemies? What? You only get along when you want to fight me?"

"Haha, Goose, we are not enemies, we just want to kill each other with chain saws. Slower the better."

"Agreed." Robert nodded to Jason in appreciation. I rolled my eyes when Jason nodded back.

"Why do I even bother? We have some pureed melon, if you want to stay, Jace."

Jason turned green, he hated melons and to see it squishy was his nightmare. "Tempting, but I came to kiss my girl."

Right on cue, we heard Lia cry.

"Aha! Where is my love?" Jason jogged past us. Was this the same guy who said she was nothing but a nuisance? I sometimes wondered if Jason loved her more than me. Meanie! Well, not really, it was my baby so, it did not count.

"Angel, are we really having pureed melon for lunch today?" Robbie asked whining.

"If you don't treat Jason right, you will eat pureed melon for rest of your life." I sassed.
