6 months later...

"Bloody heck, I can't even see my toes," Ava explains as she stands up from her ultrasound. Her mother came back after headlines were made when they fought at a park over her pregnancy. Pictures were posted and she became the billionaire's new golden girl. The mistress is now expecting a baby to a billion-dollar empire.  A mistress he proposes to every chance he gets. Even though his knees are pretty messed up he manages to get down on one knee for Ava.

"So doctor are we having a boy or a girl?" The father asks this as if the nurse will tell him. Ava rolls her eyes and places at him as if he is a child who has drawn on the walls and gotten caught.

"We discussed this, we will not find out the gender until it is born. You and Abdula are getting on my nerves about this. Let's not forget about my mother!" Ava whisper and yells the last part because she is standing in the other room.

"Speaking of which my friend called me yesterday and I have to do some work. Would your security have to protect me in your building?" Ava asks, knowing his buildings are safe. He has a lot of people in that building because they can't afford it because of what happened during the pandemic. A lot of floors are empty.

"What friend?" He asks.

"The one who taught me how to be a private investigator. She taught me how to hack things when she was in her teens. She is the smartest person I know. The most brilliant mind, her name is Alicia Shaw and she is having me search for closed adoption papers. When she does it it's illegal. When I do it right it's an assignment. " I explain with a smirk.

"Alicia Shaw, we should invite her to the baby shower next month. Maybe I can talk to her about working with me to up my online security, my guys suck we get hacked into every year a few times. They find them quickly but they end up leaking a lot." Ava knows Alicia and she loves what she does but to get away from the gang violence and always being threatened by those situations maybe she will visit again.

"I will talk to her later. I want to get to bed. Growing a baby and dealing with family is extremely expensive. " They both smile and he gives her a breathtaking kiss. He drops a box out of his pocket Ava gets down on one knee and picks up a ring box that has opened when it fell she tilts it upright looks at the big rock and then looks at him.

"I thought you would never ask. It's a yes." He says jumping up and down as Ava sits on the floor admiring the ring. Her mouth is open in shock.

"You know what the hell, the second time is the charm." They both hug and he slips the ring on her finger. Someone walks into the room...out of breath.

"Ava there is an Emergency!! Something happened to...." She yells out of breath.
