Ready

Bella pulled away from Enzo when she heard Max's voice.

"How could you do this to us?" yelled Max as she got closer to them.

Bella blinked biting her lower lip, Max sighed realising Enzo glaring down at her.

"Forget it, are you okay?" she asked.

Bella nodded. " And the baby? I was told your body is weak is that why you are here " pointed out Max.

"How did you know I was....." she stopped when she noticed her manager in the background. He looked relieved to see her.

"Stop staring at him, he had to tell me, or else who do you think approved your sick leave " Max let out.

Bella looked away and Max sighed getting closer," Come here," she said, " I was so worried I almost had a breakdown "

Bella smiled her eyes filling with tears, " Am sorry, I....I..."

"It's okay " Max pulled her in, "I know it's been hard and am sorry I left you alone "

Bella found herself bursting into tears, "It's been so hard I wanted to...to"

"Shhh, don't worry am here now " Max held her friend warmly.

....

Enzo glanced through the driver's mirror to see the now-sleeping Bella in the back seat with Max.

He sighed knowing it was part of his fault this was happening to Bella.

"Stop staring, it's starting to creep me out " Max uttered.

"Sorry," he looked away.

"What are you going to do now?" asked Max..." you just found out you're going to be a father "

Enzo breathed, "Am more worried about her, how will she react when she finds out what we did behind her back or about who I am "

Max sighed, " I know but no matter, we need to tell her and not delay it any longer "

Finally arriving, Enzo offered to carry Bella inside her place.

Led by Max to her room he placed her down in bed and pulled the covers over her.

"Sweet dreams Bella "he whispered before walking away.

"Thank you boss for helping, I don't know what I would have done if anything were to happen to her " her manager said.

"It's okay, Jonah...just take care of her more efficiently now ".

"I know, the doctor told her to rest and make sure to look after herself but she keeps ignoring anything I tell her. She hasn't eaten anything for days and keeps zoning out ".he sighed.

"Don't worry I will..." she stopped noticing Enzo's look..."We will talk to her tomorrow. Now you can go rest, we will look after her for now"

After seeing off the manager, Max returned and found Enzo on the phone.

"Did I hear it right, your buying a new home?" she asked after he was done.

"I would build one but it would take too long, so buying is better, "he said sitting down.

"Why.. isn't your place fit for you anymore?" she asked.

"No, it just won't be for Bella, she needs something different with the baby. a lot needs to be changed " he said.

Max chuckled, "You're taking your role as a husband and soon-to-be father seriously .but remember Bella has no clue about her being married to you, and the way I know her, she is going to hate us both when she does find out "

"And am ready for it, but I can't abandon her when I know it was my fault, "he said.

"The Enzo I know would never behave or have all these ideas. She hasn't even been with you for weeks and you are already in love with her " muttered Max.

He got up, "I will be back in the morning, take care "

Max chuckled watching him leave, "You didn't even deny it, how shameless "she laughed. "but I just hope turns out fine in the morning".
