Boss's Order's

Chapter 17

Mia squeezes my hand, and I look away from the screen and realise I'm crying.

"Do you want any pictures printing?" Doctor Smith asks me gently.

I nod at her, and she leaves me alone with Mia. Mia comes to me and hugs me tightly.

"Oh Arianna, you're having a little boy, he's going to be such a spoilt little man. Are you pleased, sweetie?" She asks me softly.

"Oh, I'm so happy Mia, I wanted a boy so much, so that Xavier could have a heir for his buisness. But I don't want my baby to be used that way, I'm just happy he's healthy and growing as he should be." I reply, trying my best to smile.

"And he won't be used darling, you'll be there to protect him. Now cheer up sweetie, we have lots of shopping to do for your little man." She says, grinning widely at my obvious look of horror.

Doctor Smith comes in and hands me a few pictures, after taking my blood pressure, and weight, and measuring my bump, we ring Mac to come pick us up.

I can't keep the smile from my face as I get into the car, and Mac looks relieved to see me so happy.

"Boy or girl? Come on, the suspense is killing me?" He begs as we set off home.

"Boy." I grin at him, and he whoops happily.

"Finally another man around the house." He replies happily.

I shake my head at him, and continue smiling all the way home.

Later that night I'm wracked with guilt. I want to get in touch with Xavier about our baby, but don't want to talk about anything else. Deciding to text him, I turn my phone back on, and wait for it to load up.

Once it's on, I gape at the amount of missed calls and messages I have. Xavier, and Mel's being the most.

Typing out a quick message, I send it before i lose the courage.

To Xavier:
From Arianna

Xavier, we need to talk. I will only speak to you through messages, so don't bother ringing, because I won't answer you.  A

I recieve a reply immediately.

From Xavier:
To Arianna

Where are you? Is the baby okay? I'm so sorry cara, please come home? Let me explain.  Xavier

I roll my eyes at his pathetic apology.

To Xavier:
From Arianna

Yes, the baby's fine. No I won't come home, and no I don't want your pathetic apology, it's not good enough.
I text you to let you know I had a checkup today, the baby's perfectly healthy, and we're having a boy!
Don't harass me to return to you because it's not going to happen, you ruined us, and there's no way back from what you did.  A

I don't get a reply for so long that I start getting ready for bed, and try to think of something else.
My phone finally buzzes, making me jump.

From Xavier:
To Arianna

I'm happy to hear our son is healthy and growing well. I'll do as you've asked to not ask you to return to me, but you need to tell me where you are. It's not safe for you, or our son to be alone like this.  Xavier

I laugh at his supposed concern.

To Xavier:
From Arianna

I'm not alone. I'll be returning to New York soon, but I want you to stay away. Seeing you will only cause me, and jb stress, and I'm not ready to see you yet. You hurt me too much Xavier! A

I lay down and get comfortable, waiting for his reply.

To Arianna:
From Xavier

I'm sorry Arianna, so very sorry about all of this. I hope  you'll let me explain soon? I hope you'll allow me to be a part of our son's life, too?  Xavier

I scowl at my phone angrily, how dare he ask that?

To Xavier:
From Arianna

Being a part of our son's life, once he's born has never been an issue. Me forgiving you is just your wishful thinking. I will never forgive you for what you've done. I gave you my innocence and am carrying your child, and yet you still betrayed me in the most awful way. Don't waste my time expecting my forgiveness.   A

Turning my phone off after sending it, I curl up and fall to sleep dreaming of my little man, and how much I love him already.
