Chapter One: Positive

Corinne stared at the positive pregnancy test in her hand. She knew she should be happy, but she wasn't. Her emotions were all over the place. She knew that her husband would be elated. But after more than 5 miscarriages and countless fertility treatments, she had enough of it. She was married to Prince for 5 years now. She was the daughter of the CEO of Warner Brothers, John Gordy, so that's how they met. Being daddy's princess, she always got what she wanted. And she wanted this fine piece of ass all to herself. Of course daddy made it happen and, with his meddling, Prince married Corinne in 1986. Now,5 years later, she wanted to be free again. Prince wanted to lead this boring family life, but she wanted to party. Even alcohol was a big no-no because they were trying to conceive. Corinne sighed and placed the test on the counter. She washed her hands and took the test to show her husband. Prince was in the studio her father built him in their large mansion, also a gift from daddy. Prince wasn't really keen on receiving gifts like these, but Corinne was a true material girl. She loved the diamonds and the pearls, as she was all about that glamorous life....

Corinne opened the door to his studio and saw him behind the mixing board. He looked up and acknowledged her.

"Hey"

"Hey, we need to talk"

"About what?"

"This...." And she showed him the positive pregnancy test. His demeanor changed, and his face lit up.

"Are you serious?" He said with a wide grin. Corinne smiled and said:" Yeah, I just found out...-"

Before she could finish, he lifted her up and kissed her all over. His ice-cold demeanor was gone, and he was that warm, loving person again. He showered her with kisses and placed his hand on her lower abdomen. He swallowed hard because he felt a lump in his throat. Not only that, but he was quite sensitive, but Corinne didn't like his emotional side. She always criticized his masculinity, saying he should 'man up'. So he always hid his emotions from her. It's funny that after 5 years of marriage, his own wife didn't know him. But he never felt safe or trusted her enough to open up to her. The little bit he showed her of himself, she criticized, so he just shut down and never showed any emotion.

"How're you feeling?" He asked a little too calmly.

"Fine, no symptoms yet. Just missed my period"

"Okay. If you need anything, just yell, alright?" And just like that, he changed back to that distant person. She left the studio and when she closed the door, he broke down and cried. He was so happy, but also scared if this one will stay. The past three years have been an emotional rollercoaster for him as well as Corinne. So he was on edge, but still hopeful. He thought about how he met his wife. It was at Mr. Gordy's house, where he went for a meeting. With her long legs, curly hair and chocolate skin, he found her very attractive. Her curves were just right and at the right places. But she had an arrogance to her that was a bit of a turn-off for him. Which is why he never pursued her. That, and the fact that she was Mr. Gordy's daughter. She was off limits for him. He never wanted to be involved with someone from Warner Brothers. That was business. But her dad's meddling and her seduction made one night of steamy sex happen. After that night, the rest was history. With manipulation, blackmail, bribing and threats, he married her after she lied about being pregnant. After they were married, he found out that she was never pregnant. He still upheld his vows, despite her betrayal, and made the best of his marriage. He had learned to love her, but if he was honest, he wasn't in love with her. He cared for her. Which is why he desperately wanted a baby. Because he felt lonely and empty inside. It was also an attempt to save his marriage. He had hoped that he would've married a simple girl, instead of this gold digging, spoiled brat. He hated living in this mansion. He liked beautiful and simple things. This was not his style at all. Oh, well....now that she's pregnant, maybe she will finally become the wife he needed...

Two weeks later

Another miscarriage. Corinne had enough of it and was about to tell Prince what she felt. She saw him in the hallway on his way to the kitchen. After he found out about yet another miscarriage, he became a shell of a person. Just totally withdrawn. Their relationship lacked warmth and compassion.

She called out to him:", Prince!" He turned around and raised his eyebrow expectantly.

"We need to talk. Now" Prince sighed.

"Not right now Corinne, I'm not in the mood "

"Well, GET in the mood, because I want to talk now!" Prince rolled his eyes, took a deep breath and replied:"Talk"

"I can't do this anymore, Prince. It's draining me emotionally and I feel suffocated"

"So, what are you saying? You don't want to have kids?"

"Maybe. I don't know. But I don't want to get pregnant." Prince looked at his wife and chuckled sarcastically.

"Of course. Princess Corinne does not want it, so the slave has to follow orders. Well, not this time, Corinne. I want a child and I don't care how it happens. So I suggest you start coming up with suggestions. God knows this marriage needs some life in it." And he turned to walk away.

"But...-"

"No buts Corinne. Start participating in this marriage instead of demanding what you feel needs to be done. I assume you do care about this marriage, right?"

"Of course I do, Prince..."

"Then act like you do! Now, please don't disturb me, unless you've come up with suggestions how we will have our baby." And with that, he walked away. Corinne stared at him in disbelief. She perplexed. In their 5 years of marriage, he never spoke like that to her. But she knew how selfish she could be. She contemplated divorce, but if she told daddy she wanted a divorce, she needed a good reason, like infidelity. Having a baby does not count as a good reason to him. He would never agree otherwise. She took a deep breath and started thinking....
