"Let me take care of you"

We both returned to our rooms for the night.
Apparently, Autumn had decided to bunk in with Gareth for the night.

For me, it was time to pack up.
"What are you doing?" Nicholas asked.
"Packing up. I'm taking a flight out tonight, remember?" I said, continued with putting the clothes into my luggage.
"Stop." Nicholas commanded. I continued.
"I said, STOP!" Nicholas shouted, intercepting my packing.

He took my hand, and took me to the couch and made me sit down. He looked at me.
Silence.

"I'll do the packing." He said.
"No," I stopped him.
"You know I always pack my own bags." I replied, getting up.
"I told you to sit!" He shouted. It was the first time I see Nicholas losing his cool.
"You are pregnant for goodness sake! Can you please let me help you?" He said in frustration.

I was surprised.
"How did you know?" I asked.
"You saw your test kit in the bathroom." He said, calming down.
I kept silence.
"Is this the reason why you are considering our marriage?" He asked.

I opened my mouth trying to say something but...
"It's my child you are carrying for goodness sake!" He shouted in frustration.

I kept my silence.
"I don't want a baby in this equation." I finally spoke.
"because..." I continued, he interrupted me by putting his finger on my lips.
"I understand what your concerns are." He said gently.
"Pris, I want to be in your life permanently." He continued.
"You always have been taking care of everything and everyone around you, but you never had someone who could take care of you." He added.
"Let me take care of you, please." Nicholas on one knee, said as he looked at me with his bright blue eyes.

What he said was true. I used to have nothing.
When dad and mum came into the picture, I had everything, so I started to take care of everything for everyone around me because I was afraid to be left behind.

"I don't know how." I said, tears welling in my eyes.
"You can start by letting me pack your bags." He said gently, shifting his position to sit beside me.
I laughed.
"No, I pack my own bags." I replied. He sigh.
"Ok, let's compromise. I help you lift your luggage to the bed so you can pack on the bed while I'll go fetch the things you need." He said, putting his arms around me, holding me close.
"Alright." I replied, and we laughed.

Just as we finish the last zip on the bags, there was a knock on the door.
"Pris?" Autumn called.
"Come on in." I said.

"Hey sis, all ready?" She asked simply. I nodded.
"Shall we go out for supper?" She asked again.
"Ok! I'm hungry!" I said, rubbing my tummy.

"Let's go to Carnegie Deli." I said. Nicholas and Gareth's eyes widen.

Baby names / A little disappointment

Pris and I got of baby stuff. Clothes and accessories. It was alot that the guys were begninng to be rather suspicious about something. While we were at Babys'R'Us, and Pris was still shopping for item, Nicholas, Gareth and I were just chatting, while waiting for her. I noticed Pris making a phone call and had moved off in a distance.

"Say guys..", I began. Both guys stopped what they were doing and looked at me.
"I was just wondering.", I said with a smile.
"If you had daughters, what would want to name your daughters?", I asked them curious.

Both guys looked at me in surprise and both smiled widely. I looked at them wide eyed. Something was definately up. And then they started like non-stop radio hits.

"Well, there's Britany, Zoe, Arianna, Arianne is nice too.", Gareth began.
"Madison, Megan, Sade, Harmony. What else? There's Heather, Mary-Ann, Sade, Pheobe, Jade.", Nicholas said.
"Jasmine! Gabriella, Rayne, Renee, Paige, Basil, Rosemary, Sage.", Gareth continued.
"Name of herbs?", I looked at him and made a face.
"Edith, Elle, Magdelene, Caleigh, Carissa, Tegan, Kenzie, Vivianne, Stella, Summer.", Nicholas continued as hestuck out a finger for every name her mentioned.

They went crazy with the names.

"Wait wait!!", I stopped them. They looked at me in surprise. Pris returned to join us.
"If you could choose only one name, a favourite name. Which would it be?", I asked them. nicholas and Gareth stood there and thought for a moment.

"Chloe! I love Chloe!", Gareth exclaimed. I arched a brow.

Funny, because it was the same name I love.

"I like Emily or Aemee.", Nicholas said simply and looked at Pris. I spied him. I could not put my finger to both guys' behavior today.

"Amy? As in Amy?", Pris asked Nicholas.
"No, it's A-e-m-e-e.", Nicholas spelt out for Pris.
"Nice name Aemee.", Pris replied with a smile as they went to pay up for their purchases.

"So is Chloe good? If we had a girl?", Gareth asked me. I turned to look at him.
"We? There was never we.", I said and waved him off.
"Then what if it were a boy?", he asked excitedly.
"St Claire, what is wrong with you today?", I asked him with a laugh.
"Well, I--", he began, but we heard Pris calling out for us.

It was a whole day of shopping and we had bought too much things. After a fantastic dinner, we headed back to the penthouse. I plonked myself on the couch and turned on the TV. I sighed. Something was up today with the two guys. First Pris and I saw them jumping up and down when we returned to the penthouse after a short tour of the hotel. Then, both of them started acting rather strangely. I thought for moment and can't put two and two together.

"Chérie?", Gareth called out. I looked up.
"Shower time.", he whispered with a grin. I grinned back at him and left Pris and Nocholas to their own devices.

After our slow and sensual shower, Gareth and I cuddled in bed. Gareth propped himself on his side on a pillow and looked at me and smiled.

"Yes St Claire?", I asked him. He reached out and gently touched my tummy.
"Are you sure you don't have anything to tell me?", he prompted gently. I looked up and frowned and sat up suddenly.
"Be careful.", he said and sat up with me.
"Be careful?", I looked at him. I was getting an inclination. Gareth then gently rubbed my tummy. I looked at him.
"What is it St Claire? You look like you're going to burst.", I teased.
"Can you just tell me?", he whined.
"Tell you what?", I asked him, lost for a moment.

"Tell me that you are pregnant? All that baby shopping going on this afternoon.", Gareth finally blurted out. I looked at him for a second and then laughed out loud. Gareth looked at me in surprise.
"Pregnant? Since when?", I asked him in between laughter.
"Well, since this.", he said and got up and went to my bag and pulled out the test. I looked at it and laughed even harder.
"What's wrong? You mean you are not?", he asked, his eyes dimmed.
"Silly, I'm not pregnant. That isn't mine.", I said.
"Then who's is it?", Gareth asked in surprise then it dawned to him.
"Priscilla?", he asked in shock.

"You are not to tell Nic.", I warned him.
"That was her first test and it tested positive. So I told her to take another one..", I explained.
"Which Nic found to be positive.", Gareth continued my sentence. I looked up in surprise.
"Nic found it? Oh crap, this is bad news. Pris wants to go for a blood test to be sure before she tells Nic anything.", I said and frowned.

"You are not to say anything!", I told Gareth seriously. He stopped climbing into bed halfway and looked up at me. I laughed. He looked funny.
"What?", he whined.
"Just promise you won't tell Nic anything. It's not for us to tell him anyways.", I said gently. Gerath settled back in bed and nodded.

"Wait here.", I said and got off the bed and ransacked my purchases today. I grinned to myself.
"Chérie?", Gareth called out.
"Give me a moment.", I said and went into the bathroom.

"Darling...", I drawled as I stepped out of the bathroom. Gareth looked up, his eyes wide. I sauntered towards him.
"What do you think?", I asked him seductively. Gareth's jaw dropped. I smirked and crawled into bed towards him. Gareth watched me.

I straddled him and looked at him. I lifted his chin upward gently with my finge to close his mouth and grinned. Gareth's eyes shone and he slowly grinned.

"That took some time.", I drawled and shifted a little.
"I thought I said no to this?", he spoke slowly.
"But that was because you thought I was pregnant. I hope you aren't disappointed.", I said softly and leaned closer to him.

Gareth held me back and looked at me. His eyes suddenly dimmed. I shifted backwards and looked at him. I sighed and looked away and was about to get off him when I felt his hands on my waist.

"I was disappointed to find out that you were not pregnant. But on second thought, it was a good thing also. We are not in a relationship of sorts yet, so if you really were pregnant, then we have to marry. I would love that, but I promised that I will slow down to keep in pace with you until you are ready.", Gareth said softly with a small smile.

"St Claire--", I began only to be kissed throughly by him. We parted.
"And what you have on now..", he growled low. I grinned.
"Did you get this for me?", he asked. I could feel his arousal under me.
"What if I did?", I asked him seductively.
"You do know what will happen next, don't you?", he warned with a grin.
"Show me.", I suggested and leaned forward to kiss him.

Gareth kissed me back with equal ardor and caressed my thighs, slowly moving upwards to my hips, waist and forward to my breasts. I moaned under his kisses. We parted and he trailed kisses down my neck to my shoulders and my cleavage.

"You are never to wear this out.", he growled against my breast.
"Why?", I asked, my breath heavy.
"I can't have you parading your assets to other men.", he said and nipped at me.
"I'm not yours to order around St Claire.", I panted, urging him on.
"Very soon you will be.", he grinned. His left hand grabbed my left breast. I groaned.

Gareth slowly undid the hooks to the corset, freeing my breasts. He capatured my right nipple in his mouth and suckled gently and teased the other with his fingers.

"Gareth!", I moaned out loud. He released me and reached up to kiss me again.

As we kissed, I reached down to stroke the length of his arousal. It was hard and ready. I got off Gareth and gently pulled his shorts off. Gareth looked down and I grinned up at him.

"Oh no you don't...", Gareth stammered, breathless and reached out for me.
"Oh yes..", I said softly.

I grabbed his arousal and gently stroked it, feeling its thickness and length.

"Autmn!", Gareth moaned and lay back on the pillow.
"You like this don't you?", I teased him and stroked him faster.

Gareth groaned louder. I stopped and flick my tongue on the tip of his arousal. Gareth moaned.

"Chérie... Don't do tha--", Gareth's voice was tight. I teased him by trailing my tongue down his length, Gareth bucked upwards. I grinned to myself. Gareth looked down at me and I looked up to him as I took him into my mouth.
"Au....", Gareth sighed and collapsed back on the bed.

I suckled and teased. Gently pulling away and taking him back into my mouth. Gareth was panting so hard and he finally grabbed my hand.

"Stop...", he said breathlessly. I looked up and gently sucked on his arousal and let my mouth slide to the tip and teased the tip with my tongue.
"Chérie.. Stop.. Anymore and I will...", he stammered. I released him and reached up to kiss him.
Gareth grabbed me and pushed me down hard on the bed and kissed me hungrily. I could feel his arousal prodding against my thigh. He grabbed my breasts and kissed me feverently. Hot, urgent, hungry and wanting. He settled himself betwen my legs and nudged them further apart with his thighs.

"I cannot wait anymore. I must have you now.", Gareth said against me neck, panting. I caressed his back down to his hips and urged him lower.
"Chérie..", he moaned as he probbed my entrance.
"You are so wet.", as he entered me slowly.

I arched my back as he entered me slowly. I grabbed his hips and urged him on.

"Don't stop Gareth.", I moaned. Gareth looked up at me and kissed me as he went further in.
"Autumn.", he grunted as he fully embedded himself in me.

We went into a slow rhythem, enjoying each other's touch and kisses. We changed a few positions throughout our love making. Back in the missionary position, Gareth entered me again.

"Gareth.", I sighed with pleasure. Gareth began to thrust harder and faster.
"Chérie.. Almost..", he struggled against my shoulder. I grabbed his butt and urged him on.
"Don't stop Gareth. Ah.. Oh..", I whispered, breathless in his ear.

I climaxed and sunk my fingernails into Gareth's back and cried out. A few more hard thrust and Gareth climaxed in me. He slumped on top of me. We were panting, glistered in sweat. Gareth shifted and got off me, sliding out slowly from me. I closed my eyes and whimpered and felt dampness.

"Autumn.", Gareth sighed and settled in beside me.
"Gareth..", I began. He looked at me wide eyed and looked up to the ceiling, then placed his arm over his eyes.
"I forgot again.", he whispered. I reached up and nuzzled his neck. Gareth wrapped his arm around my waist and pulled me close.
"I'm sorry my love. You were just too irresistable", he whispered. I said nothing, only held him tighter.
"What's wrong chérie", he asked concerned.
"Nothing. I'm just tired.", I said softly.
"Let's get clean up, see if Pris is ok then get some sleep.", He suggested. I nodded.

We took a quick shower together and we headed over to Pris and Nicholas room. Pris was going home that same evening.

Shopping

We went shopping.
We first dropped by Times Square Hersheys and M&M world to pick up some chocolates.
There were lots of plushies and toys and very colourful. After picking up some chocolate, we head to Macy's.
Macy's took up almost the whole day. From the first floor on cosmetics and bags, to many levels of clothes, bags, shoes, household items, and even jewellery counters, we were spoilt for choices.

After picking up a few clothing items, and while Autumn was having fun trying out levi's jeans, I was a level higher at the children's department, where they have ralph lauren clothes for children and toddlers. There is also a section of hello kitty children clothes.

I picked up a few clothing items for the baby girl as well as for Megan's child.
"We won't need all these clothes just yet. We should be looking at baby clothing." He said as he took the pile from my hand.
I took it back from him.
"I'm buying for my butler's grandchild, back home in Singapore!" I snapped, grabbing the clothes back.
"Oh..." Nicholas was stunned for a moment.
"I thought was because of..." He said.
"Because of what?" I asked, staring back at him. He was silent.
"Never mind." He replied. Some things were best left unsaid in public areas.


Next, we headed to Victoria Secrets Store right up the streets.

Once inside, the guys were taking in to the awkwardness.
Autumn picked up a few sexy and things that barely covers for me.
Oh well, but they won't be of use for quite a long time.

"Don't they fit you?" Nicholas asked me, as he saw that I returned the sales lady the bulk of lingerie.
I kept quiet. He signal to the sales lady to pack up everything I returned.
"I would like to see you in those." He gently whispered into my ears and gave me a mischievous grin.
I nudged him.

We went to the fragrance and toiletries section to pick out fragrances and bath gels.
The guys were looking through the fragrances as well.
"I like this one!" I heard Gareth said to Autumn picking up a bottle of fragrance named 'Ooh la la'. I giggled.
Nicholas took a bottle off the shelf and spray at the nape of my neck. He then bent down ans smelt me.
"I like this one on you. Let's get this one." He said, taking a bottle of Heavenly Angels Divine and the body lotion.

We jumped to Baby'r'us near to H&M to pick out more baby clothes and accessories.
I also bought some baby bottles. I took out my mobile and gave Ben a call. It should be about 7am in the morning over in Singapore.

"Ben?" I called.
"Oh good morning miss." He replied.
"Good morning. How is the baby?" I asked.
"Oh she's good, in fact she has started to flip on her belly already." He said. I got excited.
"Flipped?" I asked.
"Yup, she is beginning to learn to flip so she can crawl." Ben said. I listen intently.
"Oh, she's awake." Ben said and I could hear a distinctive cry.
"Put her on." I said. Ben put the phone near to the baby.

I walked further away from the trio and listen for the baby. I sing her a lullaby.
Ben saw the baby calming down and is smiling, and is making happy gurgling noises.
"Wow!" I heard Ben said before he put himself on the phone.
"The baby seems to recognise your voice." He said.
"Dr. White actually gave the baby a check. She is now about 3 months old, but we cannot totally know when she is born." Ben said. I nodded.
"OK, by the way, do Megan need anything? I'm at a baby megamart. I can buy them together." I replied.
"Is that Pris?" I heard Megan's voice.
"Yes, Megan." I replied.
"Get toys, ya?" I heard her say.
"Things like those exercise gyms, play beds with the toys dangling on top kind." She added.
"The toys in Singapore aren't fantastic. I think it will be better if u get it over there." She said.
"Megan!" I heard Ben shouted from behind.
"OK." I replied, giggling.
"Tell Ben it's fine. The two babies can share the toys." I replied.
"Yup!" She replied.
"Okie, I got to go. I will get the toys you said." I replied.
"Bye!" I added and hung up the phone.

Toys.
When I was back, I heard a commotion. The guys were rattling on something like girls' names.
"Chloe! I love Chloe!" Gareth exclaimed.
"I like Emily or Aemee." Nicholas replied, staring hard at me.

"Amy? As in Amy?" I asked.
"No, it's A-e-m-e-e." He replied, walking over to help me with my stuff, looking at my eyes, still trying to get some hints from me.

"Nice name. Aemee." I replied.
