Hello My Fake Fiancé (Book 1)

Chapter 10...Monster-in-Law

I woke up and stretched finding myself alone in bed. Dawson must have had to go to work early today. I made my way to the bathroom to get my shower, and get ready for work. I let the water soak my skin, and it felt as if all the tension was draining from my body.

I still couldn't get over how well Dawson handled Bryson last month. He was so good with him. I knew right away he would make a great dad. Dawson had even told Abby that we would watch Bryson whenever she needed a babysitter. He said there was no need for one when she had two that needed the practice. If I didn't know any better I'd swear he was using my own adorable nephew against me.

As I stepped out of the shower I saw it. I had a bump. I, Danielle Meeks, had a baby bump. It wasn't big, but it was noticeable. I mean I was only 14 weeks, should I already be showing?

I searched through my clothes for something that fit. Surprise, surprise almost nothing fit. I grabbed a pair of blue jeans, a tank, and a cardigan. I sighed when my cardigan didn't hide my bump like I hoped it would. I gave up and headed for work.

My kids were in the library when my peace and quiet was interrupted. And I'll give you one guess as to who interrupted me.

"Danielle?" I turned around to see none other than Suzie.

"Yes Suzie?" I asked standing up from my chair to pass out the work for my students.

"Danielle your glowing!" Suzie squealed. She was smiling from ear to ear.

"I don't really consider sweat running down my face as glowing," I laughed looking at her as if she was crazy. "What are you smiling about?"

"I was right," Suzie stated.

"Right about what?" I asked annoyed.

"Your pregnant!" She squealed. I flushed for I knew my little secret would be brought to the surface in no time.

"Are you crazy?" I laughed cringing as I walked to the library to get my students. Suzie was sure to follow.

"Danielle your baby bump is showing!" She shouted annoyed at me. I heard gasp from the teachers standing around us. I knew everyone's eyes were on my stomach. Great just what I needed.

"When are you due?"

"Does your fiancé know?"

"Do you know what you're having?"

"You're so small you're lucky I was huge when I was pregnant."

I was getting a headache. I just wanted to runaway. Could my day get any worse? I wanted to take back my words as soon as I said them, for who was to walk through the door, but my soon to be mother-in-law.

Why was Olivia Conn in my classroom? How did she know where I worked? I glared at Suzie. She immediately avoiding making eye contact with me. I'm sure she was the reason Olivia knew where I worked.

"Oh Danielle! I'm so glad I caught you here!" Olivia sung as she entered my room as if there weren't fifteen children sitting in their desks and we were the only two in the room. Where else would I be on a week day.

"Hi Olivia, now is not the best time. Is there an emergency?" I asked smiling. I saw a kid try to throw a sip wad in Olivia's direction and I gave him the look. He immediately drooped the straw and started reading out of his library book.

"Well, my dear Danielle I would say that your lack of wedding planning is an emergency. I asked Dawson how it was coming along and he told me you hadn't even picked out a dress yet!" she exclaimed as if she were about to faint.
