Chapter Forty-Five (1/2)

Chapter Forty-Five

Rochelle didn't sleep too peacefully and Scott was knocking on the door with Michael at seven in the morning, I expected him earlier to be honest.

”Hey Brylee, Rochelle still here?” he asked though I'm sure he parked behind her car in the driveway.

”Come on,” I held my arms out and Michael came to me ”She's in the kitchen.”

”Thank you.” I held back a bit and watched Rochelle's eyes fill with tears when she saw him and he hugged her instantly.

”I'll give you a minute.” Chase excused himself from the kitchen and spied on them with me. He handed me my tea and I bounced Michael and gave him enough attention to keep him happy while we looked in on them.

”I can't fix it if you don't tell me what's wrong.” Scott knew her and he knew something was wrong when she sent him 'staying at Brys' last night and nothing else, no other response. It wasn't like her.

”You can't fix this Scott, I'm so sorry.” She put her head in her hands and she was going to make herself sick if she wasn't careful.

”You're pregnant, aren't you?” he asked her, she didn't try hiding it.

”Yeah, I'm sorry I didn't plan for this, I know we weren't thinking about any more for another few years.” She looked over at him and he just nodded

”I thought you were on the pill.” I listened just in case someone needed to step in, this was his mistake too and I understand it's a surprise, but they both know how babies are made and are both old enough to know better.

”I was! I don't know what happened, but I just know it happened.” They really needed to use condoms in addition, otherwise they accept when the birth control fails and accept the baby that will be the result.

”Why didn't you just tell me instead of disappearing, I found the box Rochelle and I'm not stupid.” He grabbed her hand when she started fiddling them.

”I just needed my best friend; I'm not ready for another baby. I love Michael but I'm not ready.” She started crying again and he pulled her closer. He was kneeling in front of her and she was breaking my heart. Chase took Michael upstairs when he started getting fussy seeing mommy crying.

”Do you want to keep the baby? We have three options here Rochelle, and I will stand by either of your decisions.” My eyes widened at the option that they may not keep the baby.

”I would never have an abortion Scott, is that what you want?” She pulled away from him and looked at him like he was some kind of enemy right now.

”Personally, no; but I don't want to influence your choices either. It's your body Rochelle and after freaking out about this all night, I'm okay now. We were waiting in large for finances. We wanted a house before another baby, but now we're putting an offer on a house and money isn't a huge stress anymore. Look at Brylee and Chase; do you think they expected two kids? I want as many children with you as you are willing to give me Rochelle. I love you; you're my wife and the mother of my son, as well as the most beautiful woman in the world.”

I was glad to see that the money helped them so much, they could now afford a nice house to accommodate for the kids they would have, though I put them at the max amount of three. They'll probably have another one later.

I didn't like that they had been stressing so much before, though it was a large relief to their bank account when I paid for the majority of their wedding.

Rochelle always struggled because she used to be so damn irresponsible with her money, which is why she didn't get much until she settled down, she would have blown through so much money and hated herself for it later.

”They alright?” Chase came back down and Michael was smiling as he reached out for me.

”I think so.” I settled him on my hip, which was slightly more difficult as I grew.

”Good because I love them, but I promised you new clothes and I don't like the idea of you feeling uncomfortable.” I refused to go clothes shopping yesterday, I was having a good day and wasn't in the mood to have that mood killed with clothes shopping.

”We'll be here as long as they need us.” Scott kissed Rochelle and she hugged him and kissed him back.

I took Michael to play while they talked a little longer and came back out, I had his hands in mine and he looked at Scott and put his arms up for daddy to pick him up and then held his hands right to Rochelle and she took him into her arms and cuddled him.

”I missed you my little bug.” Michael's laugh was beautiful as he giggled when she blew on his neck. Her love for him was so beautiful and it was perfection, both of their love was. Scott was terrified about being a father, but he was an amazing dad and he's grown so comfortable in his new role.

I don't think he minds she's pregnant. Scott was always a careful guy, not careful with sex apparently, but he was practical; he didn't want to a child they couldn't afford and now that it wasn't a problem, he was okay.

”Thank you for taking care of my girl.” He wrapped an arm around her and she leaned into him. I think that simple gesture spoke volumes in relationships, when you don't feel like doing simple things like that, I feel there's something else going on.

”She's our girl, you'll always have to share.” I told him, her smile warmed my heart and he nodded, like he was reluctantly accepting that fact.

”I've already came second to her since we've been together, especially when planning the wedding. You'll have to accept that, it's always been like that. Brylee's left in the middle of games, movies, dinners and charity events when Rochelle calls and really needs her. Rochelle will do the same.” Chase has always known that.

”You already knew you married me too, you've known you would have to from the beginning.” Rochelle walked over to him and he wrapped an arm around her.

”The way that could be taken is traumatizing Rochelle, please don't ever say it like that again.” but he kissed the top of her head anyway and she smiled.

”Please, Brylee was my wife first.” She shoved him away and took Scotts hand. I was pleased to see smile, I liked when she was happy. If she needed a night to get her head on straight, then my house was always open.

But Scott loved her more than anything in this world besides the little boy in her arms. He would do anything for her; give up anything to make her happy. The best part about their relationship was they both would, but neither of them had to. They didn't have to because neither of them would be happy if the other wasn't.

”We'll see you for dinner in a couple days.” I gave them hugs goodbye and Michael gave me kisses before they left; they certainly had a lot to talk about.

After they left Chase wrapped his arms around me and spoke into my ear from behind, his breath on my neck tickled and made me laugh

”Well now, it's time that you go shopping, get your hair or nails done, a massage; anything that will make you feel happy and beautiful.” He kissed my neck and I groaned as I tilted my head and let him.

”Keep that up and we're not going anywhere except bed.” I would be okay with that.

”We're going shopping honey.” He still didn't take his lips off my neck.

”Get me naked and then there's no need to buy new clothes.” I preferred to spend the time in bed with him rather than out shopping.

”None of your work clothes fit either honey. We're going out and maybe if you're lucky, I'll come join you in the fitting room, now come on.” He grabbed my hand and pulled me to the garage as he ignored my protests. He opened my door and we went shopping, unfortunately.

I found myself outside a maternity store and groaned as I looked at it. Not a single pair of my jeans fit anymore, but I would rather stay home and permanently park my ass on a couch in sweatpants and eat chocolate than wear those stupid elastic banded baggy crap.

”Do we have to?” I asked and he gave me a weird look

”You're pregnant Brylee, with twins. You're going to need maternity clothes. They're not as bad as they used to be, come on honey.” He pulled me into the store. I don't know why I was dreading this so much, probably because I knew I would have to come back soon for more.

I didn't show for the longest time and it seemed like overnight it just came out of nowhere a couple weeks ago. Chase was thrilled, I was still catching up.

I looked around the store and slowly started coming around to the idea of maternity clothes, they weren't so bad. They actually looked normal and as I picked up a pair of pants, they looked so comfortable and inviting.

These clothes looked so much better than the clothes I've been trying to squeeze my pregnant ass and stomach into.

I spent so much time standing in the dressing room trying on jeans and shirt, dresses and skirts for work.

”You shouldn't try to hide it; you should just accept and love your belly like I do. I know it's easier said than done, but no one's going to look at you and think 'dear god, that girl is pregnant, why isn't she wearing baggy clothes to hide it.' Your belly is so cute.” I smiled at our reflection in the mirror.

I was wearing a shirt tucked into a pencil skirt and I can't remember the last time I felt this comfortable in work clothes. I used to love wearing them but these last few weeks It wasn't uncommon for Chase to find me in tears as I tried to get dressed in the morning.

My work attire has been awful and it's a good thing I'm buried behind a desk now so none of my employees can see me, typically I ended up with buttons ready to burst and red marks from the skirt digging into my stomach and with having to sit so much, I usually left it unzipped.

”So cute.” He had one hand on my stomach and he grabbed my hip and pulled me back that step to him.

”Cute?” I asked when I felt his erection digging into my backside

”And so sexy, it reminds me of the first time I bent you over my desk.” I hated that I got so turned on way too easily. He pulled me back into the dressing room and kissed me. His hand pushed the skirt up and I pulled back.

”We can't when I'm wearing this Chase, what if someone else tries it on, that's just wrong.” I did have some limits, not many, but some.

”We're buying what you're wearing, I'll buy everything in this dressing room, I don't care. I'll buy everything in this god damn store if I have to.” he didn't care about what we were about to be doing and in a moment I thought, how many other people have done this in this room? I quickly pushed that away.

”Quick.” I told him and he nodded I unbuttoned his pants and my heart was racing, it was like everyone would be able to hear that simple sound. I pushed them down and stepped out of my panties for him to bend me over the seat.

”This okay?” he asked and I nodded

”Anyway is perfect.” He raised my skirt even more so it bunched at my hips.

”I'll make sure to make up for the lack of foreplay later.” When he entered me I rested heavily on my arms and he covered my mouth when I let out a slight moan ”Sh.” He pulled the skirt down a little and smacked my ass so the slap would be at least a little muffled.

I pushed back as he fucked me from behind and I would go shopping everyday with him if this was how things ended. He gripped my hip with one hand and kept my mouth covered with the oter, which was so damn hot.

Chase covering my mouth reminded me of when he put tape over it on our honeymoon, that would be a night I wouldn't mind doing over and over, and over again.
