"That's our baby?" Greer asked.

Greer held my hand as Asher stood behind me holding my other hand. We are finding out the sex today now that I'm four months pregnant.

"Do you want a brother or sister?" The doctor asked.

"A brother for daddy." She said with a huge smile.

"Are you ready to find out?" He doctor looked at us with a grin, and I nodded yes.

"Well, this one looks like a quarterback to me."

"A boy?" I could hear the emotion in Asher's voice.

"Congratulations, it's a boy."

Asher leaned down and kissed me, and we could hear his heartbeat. "It's a little boy." He said as he kissed me several times on the forehead.

I looked over at Greer and she's so happy.

The doctor wiped off my growing belly, and I sat up.

"Everything looks great." The doctor said.

Asher squeezed my hand and thanked the doctor. He's obviously on cloud nine.

Tonight I'll be meeting his mother for the first time. He broke down and told his mom about Greer and our marriage a few months ago when it made the press. Somehow our whole story made the news, but nobody knows about the baby yet. Well, other than our close personal friends, and his other family. He wanted to tell her about the pregnancy in person.

We stopped at a local department store to find a gift for his mom. He hasn't seen her in nearly a year. We know people are going to talk because I'm showing. I started showing quickly once I hit my second trimester, but it doesn't matter now, she's home.

I was looking into a display case with jewelry inside, when I felt his arms wrap around me from behind. "Did you find something?"

"This mothers necklace is beautiful. Does she like jewelry?"

Greer stood next to us. "Who doesn't like jewelry?" She asked.

"She does and it looks perfect to me." He said, then told the sales clerk to wrap it up.

Greer and I waited while he paid. "Aunt Maggie, do you think my grandma will like me?"

"She's going to love you," I assured her.

"Excuse me." I heard from behind and turned. It's Josie, and she acted like she didn't bump into Asher on purpose.

"Hello, Josie."

Greer hid behind me, and Asher walked over beside me. I saw her eyes land on my stomach and she turned white.

"How have you been?" He asked her as he put his arm around me, I'm sure just to assure me.

"It's been okay." Is all she said while she avoided looking at me. "How have you been? Busy I see." She said in a shitty tone.

"Yes, a lot has happened and we are expecting our son at the end of February." He said.

She just nodded, and it was evident she's hurt.

"Asher, I'm going to take Greer to the girl's section. You can catch up with us there." I kissed his cheek.

"Okay, I'll see you in a minute."

I took Greer's hand and we walked away. "I don't want to leave daddy. Josie might take him away."

I shook my head. "Your daddy isn't going anywhere. He loves us more than anything in this world. Nothing will take him away."

I could still see them, and Josie is crying. Asher doesn't look amused as she's causing a scene.

We picked out a few dresses and looked at the jeans, but I kept a watchful eye on my husband.

She grabbed his arm, and it looked like she was pleading with him as he walked away. This is fucking embarrassing.

He pulled his arm away saying something, then left her standing there in tears. Such a pitiful sight.

"Can we get out of here?" He asked.

"Yeah, take Greer out. I'll pay for this and be right out." He gave me a peck and took Greer outside.

I went to the cashier and laid down Greer's clothes. She rang up the items, and I heard the voice I dreaded. "You trapped him."

I turned and saw Josie standing there with red swollen eyes.

"Trapped him? He came to Paris and found me. Not the other way around. He asked me to marry him, and we created this life out of love. There was no trapping anyone. He set you free, so just go live your life Josie, but never forget you didn't save my sister's life, and you had the chance. Go on and just forget about us. Now if you don't mind, my husband is waiting."

I gave the sales clerk my credit card.

"You'll never make a good enough wife and mother. I know you're going to fuck it up." She said, and I grabbed my bags.

"Like I said, my husband is waiting." I walked right past her and didn't even make eye contact.
