  "Wow, someone knows style..." Minnie breathed and I agreed with her, it was something that I would wear but I wasn't to sure about it now. I think I am too fat to be wearing a dress like that... "Don't be silly Helen! You are not fat! You are just blessed with the gift of life!" She scolded. "Did I just say that out loud?" "Yep, now let's find out who sent you this gorgeuos dress!" PicPotter up the card, I began to read it. Minnie cleared her throat. "Well? Who's it from?" "Well...er..." I trailed off grinning.

  "I got the hint, I am pretty sure everyone would know who sent it to you, from the way you are blushing like a love struck teenage girl." Minnie snickered and I stuck my tongue out at her.

  "Oh my gosh! Where is my Helen! I am sure as hell that this is not her, she never stuck her tongue out at me!" She teased and I scrunched up my nose. "So...why do you think he sent this?"

  "For you to wear it, duh!"

  "I didn't mean it like that Minnie."

  "Maybe he has something romantic planned for you." She wiggled her eyebrows at me. After that I finished what work I had to do and packed up my stuff.

  Just when I was about to leave, my phone beeped with an incoming message.

  TaPotter my phone out, I slid my finger across the screen and tapped the message icon. It was from an unknown number.

  I frowned, wondering who this could be, but nonetheless I went down to the parPotter garage because my car was parked there.

  When I got off the elevator,there was a man dressed in a black suit wearing dark sungasses. He had the air that breathed bodyguard. "Mrs Alexander."

  "Who wants to know?" I asked, glaring at him.

  "Please may you get into the car, We have been instructed to take you to the Four Seasons hotel." He said politely. "By who." I demanded. "He said you will put up a fight." The man chuckled and I glared at him.

  "Look I will go with you but just so you know, I am very capable of shoving your head up your ass." I threathened and he nodded before opening the door. I got in but not before glaring at him one last time. "Is this some kind of luxury ride to prison?" I glared at them.

  "No Mrs Alexander, they are just here to make sure nothing happens to you...or if you try to run away." He said from the front seat. "Then why do they look like they going to rob a bank in western times?" "Don't worry Mrs Alexander." He chuckled. They stared at me like I was from another planet. They mumbled sorry and I grew suspicious of them.

  We came to a stop and the guy from before opened the door. I got out and walked inside, him and another guy trailing behind me.

  "Mrs Alexander! Let me show you to your room." A man approached me. I was guessing he was the manager. I followed him all the way up to the presidential suite.   "I hope you find it to your liPotter Mrs Alexander." He said before leaving.

  "So...where is Mr Big Shot? You know...the one who told you two to bring me here." I said crossing my arms as I raised an eyebrow them.

  "He is not available at the present momemt but he said that you must get ready here and meet him for dinner, to which we will take you to." The other guy said. They looked really familiar and by the way they spoke I knew who they were. "So, how long have you worked for Mr Asshole,I mean Alexander?" "Huh?" "I know it is your'll, Sam and Marco." I smirked as they slumped their shoulders in defeat. "You got us Helen." Marco said as he took off his sunglasses. "How did you know?" Sam asked. "I am pregnant not an idiot." I said and they smiled sheepishly. "You know we still can't tell you right?"

  "I know but I can't believe Mr Asshole would actually put your'll up to this." I said as I walked to the coffee table and picked up the envelope. "And his own brothers." I said as I opened it. "I still can't believe you actually recognised them, they were so excited that they wanted to disguise themselves so you would not recognise them." Sam said as he took a seat on the couch. I read the card and a smile came to my face.

  My vision became blurry as I took out the picture that I put in the letter.

  "Who would have thought that

  "I know right." I said, putting the picture and card back into the envelope.

  "You should get ready, we brought up your dress and William sent some stuff that you would need." Sam said and I nodded going into the room.

  The room was really nice. The box was set on the huge Pottersized bed along with another smaller box, my make up set on the vanity table. I walked into the bathroom and stripped before getting into the shower.

  Once I was done, I walked out in a bathrobe courtesy of the hotel and into the room to get ready.

  I was done with my hair and make up and put on my dress along with the matching white heels with a black lace trim. I was still baffled on how he managed to get heels that matches the exquisite dress. WalPotter out of the room, I found Sam and Marco in the living room waiting for me.

  "Since it a bit chilly outside we figured you might want this." Marco said as he held up a white coat that went perfectly with the dress.

  "Or maybe like -10 degress out. I still don't know what that boy was thinPotter when he chose that dress." Sam shook his head. "It's not that cold Sam, it is almost spring." Marco argued but Sam shut him with just a look. "It is okay Sam, don't be so harsh on Marco." I said as I places a hand on Marco's shoulder.

  Marco is about 30 and Sam around 37. Marco is more childish and fun than Sam, who is stern and serious.

  "We should get going, your brother-in-laws should probably be done by now." Sam announced as we exited the suite. We pulled up to a restaurant...a restaurant that added to my favourites by just looPotter at it from the outside.

  I loved the classy, poise yet comfortable, welcoming feel. It was something that I liked, a little bit of both of my worlds...

  I smiled as the maître d' approached me and led me to a private room where a romantic dinner was set up. I walked to the table and found a card placed elegantly in the bouquet of roses.

  Why not take me straight to the park? Why bring me here first?

  I frowned but nonetheless was eager to see what he has in store, Sam and Marco walked in and escorted me to the car before we drove off to the said park.

  As soon as the car stopped, I practically jumped out of the car. Sam and Marco staring at me with amused expressions but I just narrowed my eyes at them as I entered the park.

  They didn't follow me which was odd and when I turned to them I realised that they were gone. Alone in the park, I walked around a bit before I found a bench and took a seat as I watched the children play on the playground just a few feet away from me. I smiled imagining my life like that in a couple years. William pushing the swing as our little girl giggled with happiness, screaming at him to go higher or our little boy playing in the sand pit with me helping him to build sandcastles.

  I placed a hand on my slightly swollen stomach, the  dress maPotter my pregnant belly to stand out.

  I was in such a daze that I didn't see the little blonde girl approach me, a blue balloon in hand. I smiled at her and she smiled back as she handed me the balloon before running off somewhere. I was so confused...I realised that something was written on the balloon.

  I was even more confused as to what it means...

  Lost in my thoughts yet again, another child approached me, a cute little boy with brown hair and dazzling smile, handed me a white balloon. Then another child after that with a silver balloon.

  And another child with another balloon, a purple one.

  I was grinning from ear to ear when I realised what the balloon messages read.

  Just then the whole family appeared, along with Selene, Matt, Alex, their son Brian, Chase, Mason his wife and sons Tyler and Ryder but not the one who I was expecting.

  They were all smiling secretive at me, like they knew something I didn't, which irritated me. Just then I heard soft music playing and followed it to a little gazebo set up, with little fairy lights surrounding it and gorgeous flowers lining the path to it.

  There stood the man, whose touch I craved, kisses and sweet words that woul
d forever be in my memory, who I loved whole heartedly.

  I practically ran into his awaiting arms as I threw my arms around him and locked him in my tight embrace

  He wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me flush against him. His hands caressing my back and moulded my every curve, like he was maPotter sure I am not some hallucination or dream. "God, I missed you so much." He whispered breathless as he buried his face in my hair. "I missed you too." I tightened my arms around him, like he was going to disappear if I let go. He looked at me with warm eyes, filled with love.

  "I am so sorry William." I said, my eyes wellingup with fresh tears.

  I felt the warm, fresh tears run down my cheeks. He smiled softly, cupping cheek and wiping away my tears with his thumbs.

  "No baby, I am sorry for acting out instead of letting you explain." He smiled before kissing me. Our lips moved in perfect sync, like they were never apart. He bit my bottom lip and my lips parted giving him permission to invade me mouth.

  He hands ran up and down, moulding all my curves before stopping by my hips.

  "God how I missed your lips and perfectly curvy body." He said breathlessly as we pulled away. "Never ever in my entire life do I want to experience that hell again." He sighed and I laughed. He got down on his knees and placed a hand on my stomach "How's my baby boy doing?" He said softly. I laughed, playing with his hair. "How do you know that it's a boy and not a girl." I arched an eyebrow.

  "Helen there has never been a girl that was born into my family for centuries, what makes you think that our baby is a girl?" He said and I smiled. I know about the curse and all but something tells me that our baby will be a girl.

  "Fine we will see when the baby is born." I smirked and he had a look that said challenge accepted.

  We agreed to keep the gender a secret and wait till the baby was born. Afterall this is our first child and we want to be surprised. "Can you tell me what the doctor said?" He said in a painful voice.

  He got up and we took a seat on the bench. I took a deep breath and prepared myself to speak.

  "Well, you know Bradley was the one to discover my pregnancy and since I didn't feel comfortable, I sought out another doctor, turns out this time it was Bradley's wife. She was really nice and I really liked her." I stopped to take a breath.

  "So for the past 2 months I have been seeing her and one day when I went for a scan, and she did a check up for me...and she said that my bloood pressure is really high and..." I blinked back my tears and William held my hand silently telling me to stop if I wanted to, but I didn't, I wanted him to know...

  "Well the placenta is really low, lower than normal but as the months go by it will rise but if it doesn't I have a high chance of bleeding out." "But don't worry if I take my pills, stick to my diet and with regular check ups, Bradley's wife said it will be alright...oh! And no sex until further notice..." She smirked and I gaped at her but I sucked up the pain,know that this is my wife and baby's life at stake.

  I sat just there, trying to process all that she told me. I couldn't believe it...

  "Why didn't you tell me before?" I said barely above a whisper.

  I heard her take in a breath, to prevent her tears from falling. "It wasn't confirmed and I didn't want you to worry when it might be just nothing, and as it was you were really busy and I didn't want to stress you out more than you already were." She said softly and I let out a frustrated breath, running a hand over my face.

  But this time it was different...this time I am here, she doesn't have to suffer all on her own... She doesn't have to carry all the weight on her shoulders...I am here to share that weight. "Oh Helen, you are my wife. You are my lover, my soulmate, my partner in crime, my lifelong companion...I don't want you to think that you can't come to me with your problem, secret or whatever. She smirked. "Only you can turn a cheesy love line into an order." I missed her devilish smirks and teasing smiles. I pulled her close to me, wrapping my arms around her. "But the point is we will make it through this and whatever else life throws at us." I said confidently and maybe a little arrogant but in the end I earned one of her beautiful and bubbly laughs.

  Chapter 59: The Kick and Party... "Helenyyy, someone is here to see you!" Minnie said in a high pitched voice. I huffed and I laid back, rubbing my big belly. I was 6 months along, and as huge as a whale...I can't even see my feet anymore! "Who is it Minnie?" I asked and felt the baby kick. I smiled and rubbed the spot, where he/she kicked. "See for yourself, they are coming in." She said, just when there was a knock on my door. I yelled a 'come in'. The door opened and in walked him. "What are you doing here?" I arched an eyebrow. "Can't I come and see my beautiful pregnant wife?" He smirked and I shook my head. "You are supposed to be at the office William."

  "I sent everyone home, so I could spend some time with my wifey." He said as he crossed him arms over his chest, causing his muscles to flex through his fitted black shirt. "Fine." I said getting tired. Sleep sounded like a good idea right now. He smiled and helped me pack up. We walked out of my office hand in hand towards the elevator.

  Once at the lobby, we walked towards the awaiting black SUV. Marco smiled and opened the door while William helped me in and got in after, soon we were on our way home.

  I wanted to make a snack and after trying to convince William, he let me. I was chopping fruits for the fruit salad that I was maPotter when Willia wrapped his arms around me from behind. "Is this one of your cravings?" He asked as he placed his big hands on my stomach.

  "No, I am just hungry." I answered as I continued to slice the apple.

  "You hardly ever get cravings, just hungry all the time." He commented as he turned me around to face him. He lifted me up and placed me on the counter away from the knife and anything that was sharp. He leaned down and kissed me. I wrapped my arms around his neck, as he pulled me close to him. Just as things were getting heated, the baby kicked really hard and we stopped.

  "Oh. So that is how it is going to be?" William said as he looked down at my stomach. He tried to kiss me again but the baby kicked even harder this time.

  "Wow! I can't even kiss my wife now?" He asked in disbelief, I just laughed.

  "You know you wouldn't be in there if it wasn't for me?" He said as he leaned down to talk to the baby. "If it wasn't for all those uninterrupted moments, you wouldn't be growing in the right now." "So let me just have this one moment, cause I am missing your mommy very much and I am sure she is missing me just as much, after I get my moment you can have your mommy all for yourself." He said and I couldn't believe he was saying that to our unborn baby.

  "So do we have a deal?" He asked and after a moment of nothing, he smirked.

  "So I will take that as a yes." He grinned victoriously before claiming my lips.

  I don't know how we made it to the bedroom but we did...

  "Can't believe that actually worked." He said as we laid in bed after a steamy session of love maPotter. "Well I guess, now you have to keep to your promise because he/she is moving." I said as I felt a kick. William looked thrilled and placed his head on my stomach, listening to the baby move. "It sounds like he is swimming." He said excitedly and I smiled as I played with his hair. "It's a she not a he." I said and he looked up at me.

  "No its a he, it can't be a she. There was never a she born into my family." He said with a confident look but I shook my head. I know it is a girl and not a boy but we just have to see who is right...

  "We will see." I said with a challenging look.

  Just when he was about to say something the phone rang.

  He reached over to the bedside table and picked it up and answered it.

  "Hello." He said.

  He put it on loud speaker. "Will, we are going to the beach and want your'll to come with, actually we want Helen but you to can join." Anthony said. "No." He said and I glared at him. "Fine, we will come."

  "Great! We are on our way to your house." He said and hung up.

  He was sulPotter and I smiled. "Come on Wil
liam, it will be fun." I said trying to convince him. "I wanted to spend some alone time with you." He said as he towered over me.

  "Later plus I want to go to the beach. The baby wants to go to the beach." I said and he sighed frustratedly.

  "Fine. Well then let's go and get ready, can't have everyone seeing what's mine." He stated possessively as he helped me up. I was standing in front of the mirror, staring at myself.

  "I look like a huge, fat whale." I said trying to find a better side but failed.

  "I think you look beautiful and even more sexy than before." William said as he wrapped his arms around me.

  "If you think, having a watermelon in your belly is sexy, then you need to get your eyes checked." I said glaring at him in the mirror.

  "But it is, you have this glow and to see you pregnant with my child, drives me crazy. It makes me want to see this view for the rest of my life." He said an his hands roamed my body, instantly turning me on. "Na uh babe, we have places to go so you just have to wait." He whispered sending shivers down my spine.

  We left the bedroom after that cause if we stayed any longer I was positive we would stay in there for the rest of the day.

  Just as we reached the bottom of the stairs, the doorbell rang and in came the guys. "Helen!" They grinned.

  I smiled back. "Hey."

  I felt a kick and smiled rubbing the spot where the baby kicked. She knows her uncles are here... "Did the baby kick?" Dylan asked excitedly.

  I nodded and they grin widened.

  "Can we feel?" He asked nervously and I smiled, nodding my head.

  Next thing I knew, there were hands all over my bump, feeling the baby moving and kicPotter. "Very energetic are you, little one." Anthony chuckled.

  "We better get going before it gets dark." Sebastian said as we agreed.

  We left the house and headed to the beach, on the other side of the city.
