I clutch Calvins arm with one hand, using the over to cover myself with the trench coat. The walk to the other room is virtually silent, only the sound of my shiney boots rubbing together. As we approach the door on the 9th floor, I clutch onto Calvins arm further.

'There going to laugh at me' I say quietly.

'I doubt that' He says turning me to face him as we stop at what I assume is our room. 'Most of them will dream about you tonight, but they won't laugh' 

I smile and roll my eyes, reaching up to kiss him softly, simly because I cant resist.

'She's here' Jordan says as he walks through the doors, briskly shuffeling us all in.This room is bigger than ours. The main bedroom must be twice the size of ours, and i can see through an open door that a bedroom is leading off from it. Every single surface has been made into desk space. Computors are lining the room and most of them are being used as survalance.

Calvin is looking around the busy room in amazement, untill he spots something and quickly runs over too it. I watch him, as the rest of the room beings too as well, quietening down. I walk over and put my arm around him as he is fixated by one of the moniters. I look into it. An old frail looking woman sat in an armchair. She is alone in the room and the decor is cream and navy, the same as the room we are in. 

'Is that her?' I ask softly, stroking his back in gentle circular motions.

'I can't believe it' He says, quickly wiping a tear away. 'I didn't really let myself think she was alive, but now' He points and the screen.

I give him a small smile as he stands up and wrapps his arms around me like ive never felt before. So intense and loving, yet soft and gentle.

'Oh Elle' He says into my hair. 'If it wasnt for you, I wouldnt be here. Saving the mother I didnt even know i still had.' He kisses the top of my head.

' I'm the lucky one' I say sofly, still swaying in his strong arms. He pulls away and takes my hand leading me to the double doors which hold the bedroom. I use the spare hand the cover clutch the coat to my body. He guides me down to sit on the end of the bed and goes back to shut the door.

'Five months ago, I had no partner, no mother and very few genuine people in my life that cared about me.' He walks over the the bed and sits beside me, taking my hands in his. 'Now I'm getting my mother back, I have the most beautiful, sexy, kindest girlfriend I could possibly ask for. And to it top it off, I'm going to be a father.' I takes a hand from mine and uses it to puch the coat out of the way, revealing my small bump and placing a hand on it.

'You, Elle, have totally turned my life around. I have gone from having no one, too having everything I could possibly ask for' He takes my hands again in his and we stare into each others eyes. I'm unable to produce any words.

'So I guess what I really wanted to ask' He continues, stroking this thumb over my hands. 'Was if you wanted to get married before, or after the baby comes?'

I stare at him, eyes widened in shock. I cant believe it, is this a proposal- oh my word. ' Are you serious' I ask with a huge smile on my face. He reaches into his pocket and pulls out a small black velvet box. I cover my mouth, in amazement.

'When I first opened my company, my mother gave me this' He opens the box to reveal a small golden band with a beautiful white diamond set on the top. 'It was my grandmas. She told me to only give it to the person whom I love and who loves me in return for me' He takes it out of the box and takes my hand, sliding the ring into place. 'I never gave this ring to my last wife. But you, are the single kindest most loving woman I have ever met.'

I look at my hand in admiration. 'Oh Calvin!' I say flinging my arms around his neck and locking him in a passionate kiss. I pull back and look into those beautiful brown eyes, of which I fell in love with.

'So I take that as a yes?' He asks with a grin on his face.

'Yes!' I carry on with the kiss. I could stay here forever, but someone knocks on the door.

'I'm sorry to inerupt, but erm, well we need to get started out here.' I assume it was Simon.

I stand up and hold my hand out to him. 'Come on my beautiful Fiancè' He takes it and follows me out of the doors and we join the circle of men who are waiting for simon to start talking. I get a few looks of the guys and after a few seconds i realise that my coat has come undone. I quickley pull it back together.

'Okay so the security cameras are siuated all around the room. Each angle is caught in the main room' Simon gestures to a moniter which is split into 4 segments. 'Your job Eleanor, is to get him handcuffed to the bed. But before you do, you will need to find the handcuff keys for Maggie.' I look back to the image of my future mother-in-law and notice that she is cuffed to her chair. I give Calvin's hand a squeeze and rest my head on his shoulder, realising how hard this must be for him.

'Are you sure you can do this Elle?' Jordan asks softly, sounding like a worried older brother.

I stand up straight and take a deep breath. 'Come on guys.' I look around at all the eyes focused on me. 'Who wouldn't let me handcuff them to a bed?' Everyone laughs and makes there way to the computers. 

'Take your coat off' Jordan says holding up the microphone wires and raising his eyebrows at me. I roll my eyes and comply, much to the disapproval of Calvin.

'Promise me you're not going to worry' I say cocking my head to one side and looking into Calvin's sad brown eyes.

'When do I ever stop worrying about you?' He says putting a hand up and stroking my cheek. 'My mother, my fiancé and my son are all going to be in that room' I put my hand onto his, encasing it over my cheek.

'And I am not going to let anything happen to either of them. I haven't met either of them yet but i love them both already'
