Rebecca walked into Hayden and Hayden partners with Colby following closely behind her, he wasn't about to let her go by herself again. They saw Jack standing at the reception desk talking to the secretary and when he heard the door open he turned around to come face to face with Rebecca and he smiled, that smile quickly faded when he saw the man standing behind her.
"I didn't know he would be joining us today" Jack said
"Like I'd let her be alone with you again after last time" Colby shook his head
"What is he your bodyguard now?" Jack looked down at Rebecca with a laugh
"Actually I'm the husband" Colby said with a smirk and Rebecca rolled her eyes
"He loves saying that" she said "Three years later and he still loves saying it" she said and Jack nodded
"Father is actually waiting for you" he said with a nod and Rebecca began to walk towards the office and Jack began to walk behind her before Colby stepped in front of him to walk behind his wife
As the meeting progressed Rebecca began to feel progressively more uncomfortable, it was awkward and overbearingly at times. She really wanted to start this coffee shop but she knew she couldn't do it with Jack, she couldn't see him and his passive aggressive flirting everyday.
They walked out of the office after an hour of talking and began walking to the car
"You've been quiet" Colby said as he wrapped his arm around her waist and she nodded as he leaned into him
"It's better for me to be quiet around him" she said "If I started in on him I don't think there would be anyway to hold me back"
"I'm fine with that.. I am 100% okay with you beating the hell out of him, I'll go get bail money if you want to do it right now" he said and she laughed as she shook her head
"He just makes me feel disgusting" she said "I don't know what it is but just walking into the office just made me overwhelmingly nauseous" she said and he placed a kiss on her head
"So I'm guessing We're not going through him to start this shop huh?"
"No" she shook her head "We need to find someplace closer to the house I think, Yes Dublin is where we would get the most business but I think home is a closer knit community and they would really support it" she explained and he nodded
"What's the plan for the rest of the day?" he asked curiously
"Lunch?" she asked "Mom has the girls for the day and tonight.. we are all alone Lopez"
"Whatever will we do with that time?" he asked
"Sleep" she said "I'm exhausted"
"You slept in the last three days I've been home" he laughed "How are you so tired?"
"Just because I'm laying in the bed doesn't mean I'm asleep" she shook her head "I'm listening to make sure you're okay downstairs"
"What do you think they're going to do to me?"
"With those two you never know and then you add Ella onto it on the weekends and you're completely outnumbered and let's face it, you don't exactly tell them no.. you're a pushover when it comes to your kids"
"Fair enough" he shrugged
After lunch, Rebecca called Annette to check in on the girls who were doing wonderfully with their grandmother.
Later that night She called Ella for the day after the little girl was back from classes and she was doing amazing too, her day started off rough but it got better and she was going out to a restaurant with a few of the other students that night for dinner with a few counselors.
"She's going shopping and to dinner" Rebecca said as she walked up the stairs
"I'm not going to have any money" Colby shook his head as she followed his voice
"You're the one that gave her a debit card at eight.. that's all your fault" she laughed
"There's a limit on it" he said
"Yes but it is connected to your bank account" she said "Where are you?" she asked
"Empty room" he said and she walked to the end of the hallway and leaned against the door frame "What are you doing in here?"
"Trying to figure out what to do with this room.." he said looking around at it "It's so lonely" he said looking at her and she rolled her eyes "Every other room down on this side of the hall has a kid in it.. it's lonely" he said
"Exactly, every other room has a kid in it.. we have three kids Colby, we said we were done after three. We agreed"
"We also said we were going to have a boy" he said "That hasn't happened" he added and she shook her head "What if you're pregnant right now?"
"Colby" she threw her head back in frustration
"Think about it, You're tired, you said you were nauseous earlier today"
"I was nauseous because he still freaks me out and I'm tired because I'm a mom" she said and he just stared at her "Do you want me to prove it to you?" she asked and he nodded, she rolled her eyes as she pushed off the door and began walking towards their bedroom
"Wait you have tests here?" he asked
"My cycle has never been the same since the girls Colby, and I'm drinking, I always take a test before" she explained and he stood in the door of the bathroom "You are not watching me take it" she shook her head as he pushed him out of the door
"I watched you give birth to our daughters, we can't get any closer than that" he said and she shook her head as she shut the door
A few minutes passed before the door opened again and she handed the test to him
"What does it say?" he asked as he looked at it
"I haven't looked at it, I want you to look at it so it can sink in to you" she said and he flipped the test over in his hands and looked at it, he let it register and then he looked up at her as she stood there with a smug smile "Colby" she said and he looked at the test again
"I just wanna know something.." he said "Since you're always right.. How does it feel to be wrong for once?" he asked and her eyes widened and she yanked the test from his hands
Pregnant
