16. Alexander

"Are you ready to go to the doctor?" I asked and Kat smiled and nodded.

"Sorry about that by the way," she said and I shook my head.

"No need to be sorry. I understand your fear of me cheating and I'm going to do everything in my power to push those away, okay?"

"I know" she replied cupping my face since I was still crouched in front of her, "it's probably just the hormones making me all worked up."

"Still, if you ever feel insecure just talk to me okay?"

"Okay. Now let's get going don't want to be late for our doctor's appointment," She replied and I nodded standing up and holding a hand for her to take which she did with a smile. I grabbed her coat from the coat rack and handed it to her while grabbing mine and putting it on. Her belly was already becoming noticeable and it's not surprising considering she was already 22 weeks along.

"How have you been feeling?" I asked as we made our way out of her office and down the hall towards the elevators.

"Tired, but it's normal seeing as I'm always up late working on some contracts or sending emails. I won't be coming to the office starting tomorrow by the way." She said and I nodded keeping that in mind.

"That's good. I don't want you driving in this weather." I said and she rolled her eyes.

"It's not bad." she argued and I raised a brow as we reached the private parking lot and she gave me a sheepish grin when she noticed the snow-covered ground and I shook my head amused at her reaction, "Okay fine. Just because I'll be home doesn't mean I won't stop working."

"I don't doubt that, love," I replied as I held the door open for her to climb in before closing it and going around doing the same before turning the car and blasting the heater then pulling out of the parking lot before making my trek down the road towards the clinic.

"We'll go to my office after the appointment to get my things," I said and Kat looked over at me surprised that I'd actually stay with her at her parents' house and I raised a brow, "I did tell you that I'd stay with you didn't I? And it's not because I want you to believe me that I'm not hooking up with anyone but because I want to. I didn't stay with you the first few days because I had a lot of work to do and I didn't want to keep you up with my constant typing and phone calls."

"You don't have to stay with me you know? I was overreacting because of what Maribel said when I told her about you always staying in the office and didn't want to stay with me," she muttered looking down at her hands where she cradled her bump and I shook my head.

"I've been meaning to ask you that actually. I knew something was up when I walked in but didn't ask anything because I didn't want you to get upset with me if I accused your siblings of anything without proof" I said and she looked over at me and shook her head.

"I shouldn't have gotten upset since my siblings at very protective of especially after what happened between Jericho and me." She replied and I nodded.

"That's how I am with my sisters, especially the youngest, Ella, John, and my other sister, Vanessa are just like that as well. It gets on Ella's nerves but she also knows why we are the way we are with her considering she's gotten her heart broken a few times over the course of the years that is until she met her fiancé. We didn't really trust him when they began dating." I said and Kat looked over at me with a raised brow, "When Ella and Tyler, her fiancé, got together we were suspicious of him since we didn't meet the guy for a few months because he was always working and of course, Vanessa got in Ella's head saying that he was lying and that he was probably out with some other chick."

"And how did Ella react?" Kat asked as we pulled into the clinic parking lot a few moments later before we climbed out and made our way inside.

"She was upset. Telling us that Tyler wasn't that kind of guy and all and we wanted to believe her but how could we if we haven't met him? They were together for a year by that point and we didn't know him. How he was as a person all we really knew was that he was a doctor and has a dog." I replied as we stopped in front of the reception desk.
