The Wife (Sequel to SUGAR)

Dinner

Leah's pov

I pick at my food as Jord taps his foot with anxiety. He was on a laptop, a phone and a tablet, looking more stressed than i had ever seen him before. I look over at Ethan and he shrugs.

"Jord."i say.

He looks up from his computer.

"Yes?"he says.

"You look stressed."i say.

"I am the leader of an intricate criminal syndicate, my job is to stress. Plus, I've just encountered 3 new points of stress that have been really busting my balls."He says.

"Maybe don't-"he instantly cuts Ethan off.

"You do not want to know what happened to the last boy that sassed me, Ethan. Hold your tongue."he says.

"I'm not a boy, Jord."Ethan says.

"I understand that your angry about being beaten, but i suggest you choose your next words very, very carefully."Jord says.

I could see anger boiling in both of their eyes. 

"Ow"i say, putting a hand on my baby bump.

They both look at me.

"What?"Jord says. 

"One of them has it's foot pressed against my bladder."i say, making them both chuckle.

I smile a bit, knowing that I had lightened the mood.

"The judge is coming in 3 days."Jord says.

My smile dies down.

"What?"i say quietly.

"The judge. The one coming to marry us. Le juge."he says.

I had forgotten my sole reason for being here.

"What happens after were married?"i ask.

"We go to Peru. Or France to stay with my mother."He says.

"What? I don't want to leave California."i say. 

"That's unfortunate, because we are leaving California."he says, standing up.

"It would genuinely make me unhappy if we leave!"i say, shocking him.

"Oh no, how I despise making you unhappy."he says before walking away.

I look at Ethan.

"Can you distract him?"i whisper.

Ethan nods, standing up as well. I cling to the cellar key in my palm.

Ethan's pov

"Jord."i say, following after him.

"What is it now, Ethan?"he asks.

"You haven't been teaching me anything."I say, making him stop walking and turn around.

"And?"he asks.

"Why? I mean, i-i thought-"he cuts me off.

"You're bored."he says, folding his arms.

"Basically."i say.

He bites the inside of his cheek and then huffs.

"Alright. Come on then."he says, walking past me.

Leah's pov

I carefully look around before walking down the hallway. I approach the cellar door, my heart beating out of my chest. I look around before simply pressing the key into the lock. I unlock the door, and then pull the key back out of the lock, tucking it back into my pocket. 

I quickly walk back towards the stairwell, climbing them slowly. I huff as I walk, feeling sick. Suddenly I feel the familiar pain in my hip. I grunt.

"Oh god, not again."i groan.

I feel the babies moving excitedly, as if the food i had just eaten filled them with Sugar. 

"Jord!"i shout.
