Divorced! Now what?
Chapter 115

Bethany POV

Theo made watching the fireworks a whole new enjoyment. The thrusts into me were almost timed to the explosions going on outside, though I am unsure if Theo even noticed what was going beyond the window. The largest red flower bloomed in the sky as I skyrocketed over the threshold, and if Theo had not held on for dear life, I would have collapsed because of the intensity of the c*****

After a cleanup, we headed over to Felicity's. I insisted we knock and wait, which I noticed Theo only does at work. I had told him it was a courtesy to knock first, but he just shrugged and walked in anyway. Before he learns to knock, he should walk in on something he does not want to see.

Felicity did not seem too surprised. He walked in without knocking, and I wondered if it was a family thing, and if so, I had no chance of changing his ways since I never locked my door in the beginning. I must have thought it was an open invitation. If I wanted him to knock, I would have closed the door. Being the only two living on this floor at the time made sense, but it was still a surprise and definitely not what I expected. I was so mixed up at the time, going through so much personal stuff, that it did not occur to me to make an issue out of it. Now, my drama is triple what it was, and I can't seem to get a break from it all.

Felicity was checking something in the oven in the kitchen when I headed over to give her sweets. Theo went to sit with Sam, and they chatted about whatever men talked about.

'Cheesecake, my favorite, thank you. You must have taught me how to make it later. I am terrible at making desserts. She took the cheesecake from me and air-kissed me on the cheek. I was not used to any greeting other than a wave or a hi, but Theo's family seemed to be either in the mood for a hug or air kisses. I will need to get used to it. I still do not remember my first meeting with Felicity, but I was not letting my lack of memories get me down; they are still slowly filling gaps.

The meal was delicious. I will be heading over here again when the invite comes, and if making a sweet was what it cost me, then I am more than happy to bring it each time. Sam had made a comment about not bringing wine, and Theo replied, 'You can't have both. Which would you prefer, wine or dessert?' Felicity made sure it was dessert.

'We are headed to visit Bethany's brother tomorrow, so will we see you at the den?'

Before you leave, we have some news. We have yet to tell Dad and Mum; they will find out tomorrow. We are going to have a baby! Felicity gushed out, all excited. Theo was on her like a flash, pulling her to her and giving her a long hug, whispering something in her ear, and she was nodding back. It was a lovely scene. I hugged Sam and congratulated him. I was unsure what else to do, so I waited for my turn to congratulate Felicity.

They gave Sam a handshake and words of congratulations, and I lost sight of him when Felicity pulled me close to her and started to cry.

'Hey, I hope they are tears of happiness. I chided softly, and she nodded her head in agreement.

'Stupid hormones sending me bat crazy. I giggled and waited for her to get herself back together.

'So, how far along are you?'

'Three months.'

'We shall have to have a baby shower and remodel your other room, and ...

'STOP' She said with a laugh.'

'Too soon?' I acted shocked, but I was really pulling her leg.

'Yeah, just a little; I am already going to get all that from Mum; can you just be here for me?'

'That I can do. You know where my door is if you need a break from the craziness! She sniffled, nodded, and smiled, and all those mixed emotions came into play, all in a rush, after a little more talking and filling in the gaps. We left earlier than planned to give Felicity a chance to rest. She used us as a trial run to see our reactions before she gave Hank and Kitty the news. I hope she waits till we arrive before she tells them. I want to see Hank's face when he is told he will be a granddad.

Dad arrived at seven-thirty and joined us for a quick bite to eat. I cooked bacon and eggs. After we finished cleaning up, we headed out. We were all in the bodyguard's SUV. Although Dad's vehicle would have been acceptable, I was still under the bodyguard's protection and had little to no choice. My freedom to do what I wanted was yet to come.

Three hours later, after Dad told Theo where we were going and how it all came about the family we were about to see, we pulled up at my brother's place. The property was much larger than the others around here. It was the one he inherited from Grandma, the place she loved the most, and she was more than happy when Thomas asked if he could have it when she was going through her will about who got what property.

Thomas was at the door waiting for us, his face bright with a beaming smile. As I walked towards the door, Nate came to stand beside him, his face also a beaming smile. I miss my brother.

Dad reached Thomas first, so I jumped into Nate's arms. He chuckled as he caught me, held onto me, and kissed my cheek.

'How has my baby girl been?' He asked softly.

'We have lots to talk about, but first, let me introduce you to my boyfriend. Theo had been standing back waiting for us. 'Boyfriend? You do have lots to talk about. Thomas said as he left Dad, and Nate handed me over to him. He held me close. I pulled back and turned to look at Theo, who was waiting his turn to greet them.

'Thomas, Nate, this is Theo, my boyfriend.' I left them to make pleasantries and headed inside to hunt for Judy. I found her in the kitchen, struggling to get something out of the oven. Her huge belly got in the way.

'Here, let me help you! I rushed to the oven, gently moved her aside, and pulled the large roast beef inside. It smelt wonderful.

'Thanks, I don't think I can get much bigger.' She groaned and sat on a stool near her.

'How much longer?' I asked as I placed the hot dish on the small stand.

'Any day now, those two out there have been pacing the floor like caged animals, finding the last few days difficult to wait. They are more than ready to be Dad's. She rubbed her giant belly and smiled down at it.

'Well, if you don't mind, wait for today to be over before you make us rush you to the hospital,' I joked, and together, we finished preparing the food.

We had lunch, which was a huge roast with all the trimming and the other cheesecake I had made for dessert. After lunch, we had a small talk about life, how Judy was doing with the pregnancy, and how Nate was not coping so well as she got bigger. 'You would think Nate was carrying the child in his belly and not Judy, Thomas said, and I had to laugh. It was funny thinking of him having morning sickness alongside Judy. That had to be fun for Thomas.

'It is good to see you, Dad, but I feel there is more to this visit than trying to reconnect. I did not turn the television on, so I have no clue what this is about.'

'Well, son, it is a sad tale to tell and a long one. We all sat around the dining room table, and Dad told them the story as if he knew it. I learned a few more things. Judy had tears running down her cheeks, and I was concerned that she was getting too upset and should not be in her condition.

Then, what I feared happened. Judy went into labor, her water broke, and the house turned into Mayhem. Not so much Theo and me, but Dad and the boys were running around like chooks who lost their heads. Theo calmed the men down while I checked on Judy, 'Call an ambulance; she won't make it to hospital in your car. I called out to whoever would listen. Judy must have been in labor for a while and not realized it, as she was already eight centimeters dilated.

'Stay calm and breathe through the contractions.' I encouraged Judy, and after a while, Thomas came to the room and took over, calming Judy down and breathing with her. Nate was nowhere to be found. They both knew when Judy went into labor; he would be as helpful as t**s on a bull.

'Dad, do you want to cut the cord?' I asked Thomas as he stared at the little boy I lay on Judy's chest. She kissed his head and smiled lovingly down at her son.

'Can I?' He took the scissors and cut the cord, leaving me to do the rest. He returned to Judy's and kissed her cheek, telling her how good a job she had done and how gorgeous their son was. I had just finished cleaning up Judy when the ambulance arrived. While they went to check on Judy and the baby, I gave him the birth details and left him to take over.

They put Judy in the ambulance, and Thomas left with him. Dad was over the moon and followed behind with Nate, who was still in shock.

Theo and I cleaned up the house and went to bed. They had enough people sitting in the hospital, and I thought it was not good to take two bodyguards in there with me; it would scare the pregnant ladies or new moms.
