24.2 Alexander

"In the kitchen." Katerina yelled and I shook my head and made my way towards the kitchen to find her chopping on some vegetables while there was a pan boiling with pasta on the stove.

"What's smells delicious?" I asked waking arise and giving her a kiss on the cheek and she looked up with a smile.

"Your favorite. Chicken and shrimp Alfredo. The shrimp and chicken are already cooked I'm just waiting for the pasta to be done then I can mix everything else in. It should be done in about 20 minutes" she replied and I hummed, "how was the meeting with my brother?"

"It was good. The blueprints had a little improvement which is good. We should start construction within the next two weeks" I replied and she nodded.

"That's great babe. Have you had any encounters with your parents after last week?" She questioned and I shook my head walking around to sit across from her on the island to watch her cook.

"No and I'm glad that they haven't bothered us again," I said and she nodded. Last week when Katerina and I had gone out for lunch my parents happened to be at the same diner we were at and walked up to us and demanded that I apologize to them for taking them to court after they took David and I's clients and had them break the contract with us but I told them that I had nothing to apologize to them for since they were the ones that took our clients from us given them false hope that they'd have the restaurant built in several weeks when they knew that it takes longer than a few weeks for a budding to be constructed especially that size. We argued for a few moments before I decided that they weren't to ruin mine and Katerina's lunch and left.

"Hopefully they won't bother us in a while," she said as she turned the stove off and mixed the pasta with the shrimp and chicken as well as the creamy sauce and I couldn't agree more and nodded, "now why don't we have something to eat before we head to meet with Andrea."

"Sounds good." She played the food and handed it out before sitting down beside me and as we ate we made small talk before I gathered our empty plates once we finished and put them in the dishwasher.

"Ready?" I asked and she nodded.

"Yeah." she replied and with that, we made our way to the front door grabbing our things on the way out before I closed the door behind us once we walked out locking the door behind me unlocking the car, and holding the door open for her once I reached her and she smiled sitting down and I closed the door before walking around and getting in and turned the car on before pulling away from the lot and down the road towards the main road.

"What's the name of the place we're meeting her again?" I asked and she pulled her phone and typed on the screen.

"Kati Curtis Design," she replied a second later and I nodded turning right on the next exit before finally reaching the building.

"Alright, come on don't want to keep her waiting," I said as I parked the car in an empty lot and turned the car off before climbing out and walking around the hood of the car and opening the door for Katrina and helped her out then closed the door behind her locking the door and waking up the small steps towards the entrance.

"Hello, welcome to Kati Curtis Design, how can I help you?" The young woman at the entrance greeted us with a smile.

"Hi, we actually have an appointment with Andrea Martin," Katerina replied and the lady nodded and typed on her computer.

"Right this way please," she said as she walked out of her desk and lead us down the corridor towards an office knocking on the door before opening the door and poking her head in, "Miss Martin your two O'clock are here."

"Great let them in please Melissa" the soft chime of a woman's voice replied the woman, Melissa, held the door open and asked if we'd like anything to drink and once we thanked her she walked away Kat and I walked into the room closing the door behind me.

"Hello, you must be Mr. Storm and Miss Montgomery," the woman said as she stood up from her seat and walked around to greet us with a handshake, "it's lovely to meet you please, take a seat."

"It's good to meet you as well Miss Martin" Kat replied with a smile as we sat down, "thank you for agreeing to meet with us at such short notice."

"No worries. I had the rest of the afternoon free so I'm happy to help, so shall we get started?"

"Of course."

So that's how the next coupon hours were spent with Katerina and I going over what material we wanted for the nursery to the color scheme.

"Alright I'll draw up some poster boards and when they're done I'll contact you and you can decide which you like the best," Andrea said and we nodded as we exchanged handshakes again and thanked her before leaving her office and the building in general.

I stopped at a red light when Katerina gasped and held her bump making me looking over at her as she gasped as I watched her jeans turn dark.

"I think my water just broke."
