Soldier Girl

Chap 7

Chrys POV

Never in a million years I thought I would be living In the luxury penthouse apartment overlooking Central Park. I moved in with Gabe a few days ago. I am currently 25 weeks pregnant with the twins. We found out that we are having a boy and a girl. Fraternal twins. He is supposed to get off work early so we can go baby shopping. His office is downtown at financial company that he inherited from his father. It’s their cover to hide what they really do. So on paper he is the young CEO of knight financial company.

I stand on the balcony looking over beautiful Central Park. It’s a bit chilly up here. I’m only wearing a tank top and shorts. The cool air is sign that autumn is here. I walk back inside and come face to face with a man I do not know.

“Well hello beautiful. Who might you be”

I walk slowly to the kitchen counter and grab the g*n out of the drawer and point it at the man.

“ You have 30 seconds tell me your name and what you’re doing here before I blow your brains all over my living room floor”

“Hey hey.Im here for a meeting with Mr. Knight sweet thing. Put the g*n down”

“ don’t call me sweet thing! Do you wanna know something about me. I never miss” I say pointing the g*n right at his head.

Suddenly Gabe walks through the door.

“What is going here? Ray what are you doing at my home.?” Gabe hisses to the man.

“Mr. Kelly sent me to arrange a meeting.”

Why does that name sound familiar.

“That doesn’t explain why you’re in my home Ray.”

“Well your office is so boring I thought I would come see your new home when I ran into this pretty little thing.”

“Shut up Ray. Don’t talk about her like that”

“Anyways it was nice catching up Gabriel. Mr. Kelly will be here at 6pm for a meeting and dinner. You hav a fishy one” he says with a chuckle as he walks out of the apartment.

“How did he get in here” I say putting the g*n down.

“Are you ok sweetie. Are the babies ok?” Gabe asks coming over rubbing my belly.

“Yeah we are fine. He didn’t expect me to be able to use a g*n. (I say with a chuckle.)Let me get dressed and we can go shopping before your friend comes over “

“Mr Kelly is not my friend. He is the leader of the Irish Mofia”

That’s why the name sounded familiar.

I throw on black leggings, blue lace tank top and my favorite Blake leather jacket that doesn’t zip up due to my baby bump. I find my Ugg boots and put on my moms necklace and head out.

“Ready to go” I say with a smile

“You look hot” Gabe says and he comes over and kisses me then my belly making the babies kick his face. I break out in a laugh as I see Gabes face.

“They kicked me”

“Come one daddy we need to get them supplies.” I say while still laughing.

We arrive at the baby store in the mall. We need two of everything. We are picking out cribs and when I hear a voice I never wanted to hear. Stephanie the cheerleader s**t from high school

“Omg Gabe! What are you doing here” she says in her shrill voice. Gabe looks like he doesn’t care to see her either.

“Oh hat Steph. How have you been” Gabe says politely

“Good. I’m at NYU. I’m shopping for my older sister. She is due with a baby boy next month. We should grab a drink sometime. Why are you here? Is your sister pregnant?” She says happily.

Gabes sister Lilly is 16. They are ignoring me so I go back to picking out a crib.

“I’m going to be a dad in a few months” Gabe says happily

“What!! Who is the lucky lady” she says with a fake smile.

“Hi” I say waving my hand.

“Omg is that the Tom boy Chrys. Wow how far along are you. You are huge!” She says with venom in her voice.

“I’m 25 weeks with twins.” I say

“Wow, couldn’t resist the football star could you” she says pretend jokingly.

“You mean I couldn’t resist her.” Gabe says

“just remember Steph, pregnant or not I can still kick your a*s” I say with a smile.

I grab Gabes hand and pull him back to the cribs.

“That was so hot” he says leaning and kissing me patiently me.

We picked out the cribs, mattress, sheets, blankets, swaddles, diapers, pacifiers, bottles, formula, wipes, bibs, car seats, stroller, changing table and high chairs.

We arrive back home shortly before Mr. Kelly is supposed to come. I flop on the couch and put my swollen feet up while Gabe calls and ordered food for delivery.
