Chapter 46 Certified accountant

An hour later Gabriel places a sleeping Gavin in his crib and stretch, flexing his neck and shoulder muscles. She took a deep breath and slowly walks towards him; she stands in front of him but didn't touch him. "I'm sorry." She said softly. "I know, you're always sorry Diane, but right now I don't need your apology, I need your trust." He said looking down at her. "And you'll have it."

'Yeah, heard that before." He snorts. "Then I'll prove it to you." "Alright." He sighs heavily. "At least I have something to look forward to." He chuckles, he then wraps his fingers in her braids and tilt her head back and lower his lips to her in a hot passionate kiss which leaves her gasping for breath. "I love you." He whispers. "I love you more, even though I sometimes don't show it." She mumbles with her head down. "I know baby, I know." 'The phone in my hands didn't mean I don't trust you; I do, it's just that….it's hard for me sometimes, please don't leave; baby boy please….." "Shh…hey look at me, till death do us part baby; I'm not going anywhere." Taking her by the hand he led her to the bed and laid her down capturing her lips with his again.

He then places her hand on his erection and moans as she wraps her fingers around it. "Pleasure me baby girl." He whispers against her lips. "As you wish, but first, hold on a sec." She got off the bed and unlocking the wheels on the babies crib she wheels them into their room, she then came back and place the moniter on the bedside table.

"I don't want you to moan and wake them up, great idea on getting a crib with wheels by the way." She said as she began to massage him. "You remember to lock back the wheels?" He asks playing with her hair. "Of course she said lowering her lips over him. She loves the way he trembles and gasps and moans beneath her touch, drives her wild.

The following morning Gabriel, Jasmine, and his friends went to church. Diana went home and she and Dana looked after the babies. At first in the morning things were a bit tense between her and Dana but as the afternoon went on the mood between them became much lighter and soon things went back to normal.

Gabriel was on his way to the bathroom when he saw Karen and it was clear that she wasn't feeling well and against his better judgment, he went over to assist her. "Hey, you alright?' He asks resting his hand on her shoulder. "Yes, just cramps that's all." "How far along are you anyway?" He asks in concern. "Seven months tomorrow." She said massaging her belly. "Alright come sit here for a while and take deep breaths." He said helping her into a chair. 'It's alright, it has happened before, I'll be fine, you can go now." She said trying to turn away from him. "Not until I know you'll be alright." He said bending down in front of her he began massaging her stomach while humming to her child.

"What are you doing?" She asks arching her brow. "It worked with my babies, so maybe it will work with yours." Except there's nothing wrong with me or my babies but it got you to touch me like this and now that I know this works, I'll stop you right now and pick this up again when we're in a more private place.

"Alright stop it." She said pushing his hands away. "I feel much better now thank you." She said taking one last deep breath. "My Taxi will be here soon so I'll just go home and lie down for a while, thanks again." She said with a weak smile as she slowly walks away and after a few seconds, he shrugs and continues on his way to the bathroom.

It was now Thursday evening and they were relaxing in the living room with their children, they were on the sofa and Jasmine was busy rocking the babies in the baby rocker. Diane rests her head on his shoulder and he wrapped his arm around her and gently massages her shoulder. "I love you Gabriel." She whispers in his ear. "I love you more beautiful, but um…. Baby girl, I was wondering if you would mind going back to university when the kids start preschool?"

'Go back to school, why?" "Remember the complex I was telling you about last night?" "Yeah." " Well I call the owner today and I'm thinking of buying it. My contractor and I will be going down there on Monday to check it out and then based on what we find, I'll make my final decision, so I was hoping you could be my accountant for that as well."

"I'm already your accountant so why go back to school?" she asks. "If you go back to university you could get your bachelor's degree in accounting and business administration." He said playing with her braids. "Oh, so I would be more qualify to do the job?" "Something like that." He chuckled. "Okay, in that case, it would be an honor to become your certified accountant and in the meantime, I could begin my course online." "Sound like a good idea." He said hugging her tightly.

On Saturday afternoon He sends his girls and her sister's to the spa, that was after Diane pump as much milk from her breast as she could, now he and the guys were taking care of the babies; mostly him of course while his friends pitch in every now and then.

"Hey, are you okay being around them?" He asks Justin referring to the babies. "Yeah it's okay, they have gotten so big and even more beautiful." He said playing with Gabriella's fingers. 'You can see your blond hair and Diane's Jamaican heritage in them already." "Mike said looking over Justin's shoulder. "Dat boy going break a lot of hearts, just like him daddy," Marlon said.

"True dat," Gabriel said laughing. Then his smile fades when he saw how sad Justin looks. "Is there anything I can do to make this easier for you man?" Gabriel asks. "You're already doing it man, just by being here." He said smiling sadly. "Can I…um…hold him?" Justin asks. "Sure." Gabriel walks over to him and places Gavin in his arms and the child smiles up at him which pulls a shuddering sob from Justin's throat.

And he bites his bottom lip to suppress the tears that were threatening to fall down his face. "We were going to have a….boy." He said as the tears spill down his cheeks. "Please take him…please." He said as his body began trembling and as soon as Gabriel took the child from him Justin's hands flew to his mouth and he ran from the room.

"Meet we out in a di Gazebo seen," Marlon said and ran after Justin. "It's going to take a long time before he will even be able to cope with any of this," Gabriel said putting the babies in the twin stroller. Come on let's get some snacks and juice and go join them outside." "Yeah….yeah…. sure, I just wish there was more we could do," Mike said following Gabriel out the door. "I know how you feel my friend but as the saying goes, time heals all wounds."

Diane smiles seductively at her husband as he put on his coat the following evening. He was about to leave for church, normally he would have stayed in with her seeing as though he already went this morning but the mass choir was going to another church to sing so he had to go.

Damn the man could dress, she didn't think she will ever be able to carry him off; it's always the other way around. "Okay baby, I'll see you later, I love you." He whispers against her lips as he kissed her passionately. "I love you too baby." She moans and pushes him against the wall as she deepens the kiss but he turns her around and now she was the one whose back was against the wall.

He chuckles and moans deep in his throat as he pins her hands above her head and again begins to kiss her hungrily. "I need you so badly baby." He moans and continues to kiss her. "I need you too baby boy but if we don't stop now you'll never make it there in time." She said softly wrapping her fingers in his hair and kissing his neck. "See what you did?" He asks putting her hand on the front of his pants. "Hmm hard, just the way I like it." She groans while rubbing against him.

"Rain check until later, okay." He laughs. "Okay baby drive safely." "Do you know how hard it is to walk away from you right now?" He asks biting her lips gently. "Hmm I know but I'll be waiting for you when you get back and then I'm going to rock your world." She said giving him small kisses on his lips. "I can't wait." He chuckles then after kissing his children he left.

Dana had arrived half an hour earlier to keep her company while he was gone. A few minutes after he left Dana enters the bedroom. "Hey sis, it's a pity he has to attend church alone huh." Dana asks. "I know, I can't wait until I'm well enough to go with him again, the choir is singing at another church tonight, that's why he went, how are things at home?" Diane asks playing with Gavin. "Good, good, the lady that has been helping me is doing a great job the kids like her and they happy that they don't have to take the bus to school anymore, they now have their own driver , not only to take them to school but also to take them to all their activity's and then straight home, not to mention they can't get enough of the X box Gabriel bought for them, lets face it sis, they're living in the lap of luxury, thanks to Gabriel, but did you know that he was paying us even more now that we're helping with the twins? If he continues like this he'll go broke soon.' Dana said with concern. "It was my idea to pay you and Diana more and trust me, he could pay you triple what he's paying you now for the next thirty years and he still wouldn't go broke, so don't worry about that."

Diane had just finish strapping the twins in their bouncing chair when the gate buzzer rang. Dana went to see who it was and seeing that it was Desreen she let her in, and then went downstairs to open the front door, a few minutes later Desreen walk into the room. "Hi little sis, how are you?"

"Hi Desreen, I'm good, how about you?" "Oh I'm blessed, where's Gabriel?" "He went to church." "Is that girl Karen still after him?" Diane sighs heavily at the mention of Karen's name. "Well, Gabriel said that she has backed off but I believe she has something up her sleeve, we just have to wait and see besides Gabriel has asked me to trust him and that's exactly what I'm going to do."

"She's pregnant isn't she?" Desreen asks and Diane rolls her eyes. "Like that's going to stop her, I heard her tell her friend that she wants her next child to be Gabriel's." "Yeah right, well she can keep dreaming because that will never happen, but enough about her. Doreen and I are planning on opening a department store not far from the Plaza and of course, Gabriel is helping us with that as well; we're planning on selling a variety of things from hair care products, cosmetics, church clothes to school uniforms and many other things. My daughter will be running the store, now beside our department store, we're going to open a pastry shop, which Doreen will be running, now seeing as though you did a bakery course we were wondering if you could help us with a few cakes, cupcakes and muffins, things like that. I mean we know you're busy with your babies but we would really appreciate your help." Desreen said with a big smile.
