When an icy blizzard blows into rural Colorado at the start of blizzard season, everything that could go wrong for Sierra St. Vincent goes wrong. A naturally stubborn woman with a blurry past, she wants nothing more than to get in her career and spe...
They turn off the main road and go down another road. A Maserati honks at them on the other side. "Ev on his way to Miami with Si." Stone throws his hand up in acknowledgement.
They pass three other homes. "Where's your house?"
"In the back." The snow is coming down now.
Mia's eyes widened in awe at the beautiful scene in front of them. Roman had slumped himself in his seat, asleep. She puts his coat and boots back on.

A maid runs to meet them with a big smile on her face and hot chocolate on a tray. "It's gonna be a blizzard coming later on tonight." The garage is surprisingly warm as well. "My name is Renee." She hands Mia a mug while taking the baby from her arms.
They go upstairs and there are maids moving around everywhere
"Oh...okay." She moves out of the women's way.
"About thirty minutes on dinner sir. That should be plenty of time to show the estate." Renee announced. Roman was giggling and holding on to the woman. Mia reached for him and he declined.
"It be ya own kid." She mumbled. Stone moves around the home, showing her the different rooms. A movie theater, spa room, many bedrooms and game room. One of the bedrooms was already prepared for Roman as well. He didn't finish before dinner was finally done.
"What are you thinking?" he finally asked. Roman is playing in his high-chair.
"Overwhelmed a little." She admits. "I just feel...a lot of different things. I'm nervous."
"Why?"
"Because, I just think it's too fast. But maybe that's because I'm pregnant." She admits again. "I think you should tell your parents the truth up front."
"You sure? I can take the heat from them, if that's what you're worried about."
"No. Don't delay your mother's involvement. I may need her." she looks away from the table to the falling snow with a sad face. "I have a final due by Wednesday of thanksgiving week. Let me go."
School was always her security blanket. Stone watch her take Roman, who was grinning at him like he won something.
Later that night, Stone FaceTimed his parents.
"Why you just now telling me I have a grandbaby! And a Bond Baby! Stone Alessandro Minnelli!" Ivory stuck her head in the camera further. "When I see you, I'm fucking you UP! You hear me."
"Ya mama is happy for you, boy." Tyson pulls her out of the screen.
"Expect me and ya Nana! I'm telling!" Ivory hits the end button.
Not my Nana...Stone's face paled.
The next morning, Mia woke up first and started to walk around the premises. Maids constantly asked her if she was alright, what they could get her, and what she wanted for breakfast so they could relate it to the chef in the kitchen. She politely declined each and every time.
"I would prefer cooking for myself." She smiled. The women are impressed.
Mia found herself wandering in the kitchen. The chef, a black woman, was humming and making pancake batter.
"You must be the girl Mr. Minnelli brought home. He never brings a woman here. What's your name?"
"Mia Henderson." She shook the woman's hand. "do you need any help?"
"Nope. I pretty much got it." Mary, the chef smiled. Humble...the woman thought. She watches Mia put the baby in his chair with a bottle.

"I cannot do a perfect pancake to save my life." She watched her whisk the batter.
"Then I'll show you." Mary offered. After several attempts to get the perfect pancake, she got it.
"Thank you Mary!" She hugged her gratefully. Stone watched the last attempt and their celebration.
