“Oh! So now it’s two against one?”
Ledger reaffirmed, “You heard the doctor.”
“She didn’t say anything about moving in with you.”
Chance supported, “I’ll stop by every day if that’s what it’s going to take for you to listen to her orders and move in with Ledger.”
“I have like five assistants, or I can hire a nurse. I don’t need to move back here, let alone move in with Ledger.”
“You’re not leaving my sight.” Ledger grabbed my purse, handing it to me.
Once again, I snatched it out of his grasp.
In three strides, Chance stood in front of me. “This isn’t just about you, Ledger, and me anymore.” He gestured to my belly. “You have my niece or nephew in there too, and I want to be there for you in any way I can.”
These were the times I wish I had a good relationship with our parents.
“Now you’re on Ledger’s side?”
“It’s not about sides, sugar. It’s what’s best for our baby.”
I sighed. “You both are treating me like a little girl.”
Ledger firmly agreed. “Get used to it.”
“This is bullshit.”
Chance kissed my forehead. “I’m still livid over this situation, but I love you and my niece or nephew. Please, just do this for me.”
Shaking my head, I snapped, “I can’t believe you’re agreeing to this.”
“I can’t believe you’re pregnant by my best friend, but here we are.”
“She also said no stress. What do you think it will be like living with him?”
“You don’t have to worry about me,” Ledger informed. “I’m already getting what I want.”
And I knew…
It had nothing to do with me moving in with him.

Ledger
“Ledger Beckham,” Hazel reprimanded, standing in my bedroom as I sat in my armchair.
I chuckled. I couldn’t help it.
It was comforting she was finally breaking the silence between us. We were both quiet on the drive to my home. It was obvious we were lost in our own thoughts.
Once we walked through the front door, my house manager, Adele, took over. She knew I was coming back with Hazel. After introducing them, I headed into my office for a bit, needing to get some things in order while Adele showed her around.
She finished the tour in my bedroom, and I just happened to be sitting in there talking to my father, catching him up on everything.
He was surprised, but excited. This would be his first grandchild, and he was thrilled it was with Hazel. He kept saying my mom would have wanted it that way.
“Where’s my bedroom?” she questioned, leaning against the doorframe. “Adele didn’t say which one was mine.”
