Camila POV
The hug he pulled me in for took long, but not forever. I wanted it to take forever, so I don't need to face this horrible world anymore.
,,Mila... I love you and I know I said I won't push you to do anything, but I think you should really talk to a doctor. I think it might help. Without my psychologist, I wouldn't have goten over my drinking addiction. Maybe a psychologist would help you to understand what's wrong." He said after we broke the hug and looked me deep in the eyes.
,,I'll promise you to think about it, but I have no time to go to one...."
,,That's another thing I wanted to talk to you about. I was thinking about you getting a maternity leave...." He said and I didn't know what to think about his words.
,,What!? Riley isn't even officially mine. I can't do that. And who will help you at the praxis? There are too many people there only for you and Addison."
,,Okay, fine. Then you don't take a maternity leave, but you should at least work less. You should only work until the lunch break."
,,Shawn.... I.... I can't do that cause I kinda need the money from the other hours...."
,,Then I'll pay you the same-"
,,No! You can't do that. That wouldn't be fair." I interrupted him and placed my hands over his.
,,Mila, you need time with Riley and now you no longer have a babysitter. You'll drive crazy! The time you'll work until the lunch break is just perfect. Now and for the future too and if you'll ever need more money, don't be afraid to ask me. Please. I don't care what the others will say 'cause you two are my family." He said softly and I wrapped my arms around him to give him another hug.
,,I will work less. For you and for Riley, but also for me."
,,That's exactly what I wanted to hear." He said and kissed my cheek before we broke the hug.
,,Thank you." I said.
,,For what?"
,,For everything. I never told anyone about this....." I said and he seemed pretty surprised about my words.
,,Not even Addison? Or Nina?" He asked and I shook my head as a no. ,,And how did you get over it? I mean, no one knew.... You were alone in this..."
,,I got alone through it...." I said and he put his hand on my cheek stroking it lightly with his thumb.
,,I don't want you to go alone through this. I'm here no matter what. Okay?"
,,Okay." I said and hugged him one more time.
,,Should I make you some dinner?" He asked softly while he was holding me protectively.
,,I'm not hungry. I just wanna go to sleep." I said and he nodded as we sadly broke the hug.
,,I'll take care of Riley. Go to sleep." He said.
,,But you won't leave, right? I mean, can you stay here over the night?"
,,Of course. I'll join you later." He said and kissed my hand.
Why is he so perfect? I’m not complaining, but that makes me fall so hard for him.
I gave him a quick kiss and also kissed Riley before I entered the bedroom, got changed in my pajamas and got into bed. I fell asleep immediately. Today's day was extremely exhausting.
I tried to keep my mind free and I succeeded. I was too tired of overthinking anything.
Sadly I woke up in the middle of the night by my alarm to feed Riley. But, right as I wanted to stand up and go to her room, an arm grabbed me by the waist to stop me.
,,I'll go. Go back to sleep." I heard Shawn say and after that I saw, how he got off the bed and then exited the bedroom.
I layed back in bed and waited for him to come back. It was like I was some kind of a princess who wasn't allowed to do anything 'exhausting'. That was the kind of feeling he gave me.
You know when I said Shawn is part of a rare species of men? Now I'm pretty sure he's the boss of that species.
As he came back, I cuddled myself up on him and fell asleep again. That was probably the first night in a LONG time I slept peacefully with no worries or anything. Everything was perfect. Literally perfect.
The whole week was perfect for us. I started working less, but I also had a new babysitter for Riley. Her name was Bella and she was an older woman who Riley got used to pretty fast.
We had still no clue what happened to Skylar, but I decided to save up this worry from my head. I was worried enough for Addison this days. She didn't talk to me and avoided me all the time. I decided to talk to her when I see her, but it is so complicated when she avoids me all the time.
It was Friday and I needed to go home now that I ended work. Shawn and Addison only had lunch break and after that they still needed to work. I told Shawn I couldn’t eat with him today because I needed to talk to Adi, so she better hear me out.
After my last patient, I immediately went to her office and luckily for me, Addison was there still talking to a patient.
,,Thank you, Doctor Woods." The patient said and then left after she said goodbye to me and Addison.
,,What do you want?" Addison asked bored while she was packing some stuff.
,,Talk to you."
,,I have lunch break and I want to eat in my breaks. Some of us aren't dating their boss, so we have to work." She said and looked me straight in the soul. My jaw fell at her words. She can't mean it....or can she?
,,What's wrong with you? Why are you like that with me?" I asked and Addison tried to leave, but I didn't let her.
,,Like what, Camila? I'm just saying the truth. Isn't that what you always wanted to hear?"
,,So you think the truth is that I get my money because I date Shawn? You can't be serious."
,,Well? I am and I don't think it's the truth. I know its the truth."
,,What's wrong with you? What did I do to bring you to say all of this stuff!? I am your best friend! I was there every time you needed me. You know me! You know Shawn! And you really think I'm with him because of money!? You forgot what you said to me a few days ago!?" I felt really hurt by her words. From all people on this earth, I expected her to understand.
I just couldn't understand. Was it wrong to date 'my boss'?
,,I know what I said to you. I know you love him and I know he loves you and that's exactly what you are using. You use the fact that he loves you for your advantage." She said serious.
,,What!? I'm not using him! I didn't even want to work less! He told me to!" I said raising my voice a little.
,,But you accepted to do it!" She said raising her voice too.
,,What was I supposed to do!? Fight with him about such a stupid thing? No!"
,,You don't even get what I wanna say." She said and tried to leave again, but I didn't let her.
,,No, I don't get it. Explain what you wanna say. I've had enough of all this fighting.... I can't anymore...."
,,If I would have been in your situation, no one would've done that for me. That's what I mean."
,,What are you talking about!? I would've! Shawn would've! But like I told you....be free long as you can!"
,,That means just 9 more months." She said and her words confused me completely.
,,What do you mean?" I asked not understanding.
,,That's not how I wanted to tell you....but...."
,,But what? You're scaring me." I said forgetting all the anger I had in me a few seconds ago.
,,I'm pregnant..." She said and my eyes grew wide.
,,Wait...WHAT!? How? When? WHAT!?" I said in shock.
,,I think you know how." She said and laughed lightly as she touched her stomach, but I was still in shock.
,,Is it Matt's?" It's all I couldn't get out of my mouth at the moment.
Now everything made sense. She was scared about being a single mom and was worried about her job. A few days ago, she probably had a speculation that she was pregnant and that's why she was freaking out about everyone being in a relationship. Holy shit... She had to go alone through all of that....I felt horrible.
,,There is no one else that may be in question." She said and stroking her not visible baby belly. It was so weird to see her do that. It remembered me of the day Nina told me she was pregnant...
,,Does he know?"
,,No...I don't think I can talk with him after what he did." She said and her small smile started to fade.
,,I'll be there when you are gonna do it. Okay?" I said and placed my hands over hers that were still on her stomach.
,,Thank you." She said with a smile and tears in her eyes.
,,I'm gonna be an aunt.....again." I said and we both started laughing and crying at the same time.
I pulled her into a hug and wanted it to take forever. I can't believe that she'll be a mom...
,,Mila?" She asked breaking the hug to take my hands in hers and continue. ,,I don't really know why I said all of that stuff. I'm just scared of what is going to happen and-"
,,I know. I'm not mad." I said interrupting her. ,,We can give the hormones the fault." I said and we both started to laugh again.
,,Do my hormones start to get crazy so early?"
,,How should I know that? I was never pregnant!" I said and we started to laugh again, but this time harder then before. ,,What week are you in anyways?" I asked her.
,,I don't know. I wasn't at the doctor yet."
,,Then we should make an appointment and then we can talk with Matt." I said and saw that she smiled at the word "we".
,,Thank you, Mila...." She said softly.
,,Anytime. I'll always be there for you. You just have to let me." I said and we hugged one more time.
Double auntie, huh?..... Oh god....
