Chapter 39: Naming our bun

It hit me today that Faye is 8 months pregnant. So it had to have been that accidental night after the BBQ. Which was before I proposed and brides be were even official. See what I mean? Are we even real? I just want to keep this on the down low until I figure it out. I'm going got watch her actions and listen to her because I don't know anymore, what to think.

I walked unit work today.
"Sarge is gonna have a fit." Winnie says.
"Who is watching Sadie?" I asked Sam.
"Ethan." He said. I stopped walking.
"You gave your own flesh and blood to Ethan?" I ask.
"Yeah just until we get her in daycare. Why?"
"Ethan? Ethan Alexander Slade?" I asked.
"Yeah."
"That is just sad." I shook my head and walked into the locker room.
"No no honey." Jules says.
"Who's this?" I ask. I hear Sam laughing outside the door.
"This is Leah."
"Hi Leah what brings you to my locker?" I ask.
"Faye don't be snotty." Jules says.
"I'm your replacement. Temporary."
"Sarge!" I yelled as I walked out the door.
"I'm coming in." I say as I walked through the he men's locker room.
"Yeah?" Sarge asks. Slater is getting dressed and Eddie is in his phone.
"Why is there a girl taking my locker?"
"It's temporary. And it's the locker next to yours." He says.
"No no no I still work here!" Slater laughed.
"Your on maternity leave." Says.
"I don't recall telling you that."
"Faye your 8 months." Eddie says.
"So?"
"I don't want you out there in the field and I'm damn sure Adam didn't either." Sarge says.
"When m were you gonna tell me you got a replacement?"
"Temporary." He says again.
"Sarge!" I complained.
"Go home eat chocolate and binge on your favorite tv show honey." Slater says turning me around to face the door.
"You don't get to call me honey." I say. He laughed.
"Get your ass out of the locker room!" Eddie says.
"I'm talking to Sarge."
"And I need to get dressed." He says.
"Get out please go home like slater said." Sarge pushes me out.
"What did I say?" Winnie asks.
"You suck." She laughed.
"You got some crazy hormones." Sam says.
"Crazy hormones." I mocked him.
"Whoop whoop!" The alarm sounded.
"Lets go let's go!" Sarge says.
"Maybe I'll hang out with team 3." I say.
"Team 1 hot call all hands on deck. Team 3 team 2, team 4 respond." Winnie says.
"Well damn darn it." Slater says. I pretend to kick him.
"Go home Faye." Jules says.
"I'll make sure your kid is still alive."

I walked I to Providence.
"Good morning, table for 1?" A waitress asked me.
"No I'm here for Ethan." I walked to the Back and into the kitchen.
"Ethan?" I called.
"He's upstairs in the office." A girl says.
"Thanks." I walked upstairs.
"Who is that?" Ethan says.
"It's aunt Faye!" He was playing with Sadie.
"Hi sweet girl." I took her from his arms.
"Guess what?" I ask Sadie.
"What?" Ethan pretends to voice her.
"Ethan is gonna babysit your cousin a lot too so you can have lots of play dates!"
"Sweet." Ethan says sarcastically.
"Isn't he lucky?"
"He's so excited."
"How long do you have her?"
"Just today and tomorrow."
"That's not too bad other than Ethan runs a restaurant."
"I can manage."
"Is link to see you try." I have Sadie back to Ethan and walked downstairs.
"Jackie?" I called.
"Hey Faye." Jackie was the co-owner of Providence.
"I was wondering."
"Yeah.."
"Ethan is going to be watching Sadie again tomorrow and I just want to make sure you can handle the restaurant while he's busy."
"Oh no problem."
"Thank you."
"Extra pay." He says.
"Yeah I don't deal with the money."
"No Jackie!" Ethan yells from upstairs.
"Well I got to go."
"Oh ok, I'll talk to you later."
"Bye Ethan! Bye Sadie!" I left the restaurant and sat in the car. Why's the hell am I going to do all day while Adam runs the hotel kitchen? Then it hit me:

I tied an apron around my waist.
"No." Adam says.
"Yes." I couldn't reach it and I struggled. He tied it for me.
"Since when do you wait tables?"
"I've waited tables at Providence."
"Providence isn't like the Gwenivire."
"It will be fine." I scrunched his cheeks he pecked my lips.
"Give me names." He says.
"Arwin or Ella?"
"What's the middle?"
"I want it or be Elizabeth."
"Really?"
"Yeah."
"Arwin Elizabeth or Ella Elizabeth?" He says. We thought for a minute.
"Hey Ann do you like Arwin or Ella better?" Adam caught Ann right after a meeting.
"Eat shit." She says.
"I Kiel Arwin too." He says. I laughed.
"Arwin Elizabeth Dylan Slade."
"Dylan? We're getting married."
"I know but since teddy died we don't have anyone to carry the Dyaln name."
"I'd love to have Dylan be passed on." I smiled and he kissed me.

Adam was on his phone and I was just finishing dishes. I turned off the light and locked the door before walking into our room. He sneezed and I closed the door.
"Bless you."
"Thank you." I closed the curtain and slipped in bed.
"You don't need anything?" He asks has he drops his arm around my stomach.
"No I'm good."
"Are you sure?"
"Because every time-"
"I'm good. Damn." I turned off the lamp and snuggled up with him. I waited a couple minutes.
"I could really go for a milkshake."
"Oh my god." He crawled out of bed.
