Page 14 of Bullied Pregnant Mate

She looked at everyone before her eyes fell back to me. She rubbed her hands together nervously. "I got everything else that I needed done."

I knew that everyone had spoken with her the other day, but introductions were never really made. "This is Cayden and Miles. That's Owen and Ayden."

Everyone waved at her, and she smiled, clearly uncomfortable. Ayden smiled back, "Have you gone to the house yet? It's clear to go inside."

She shook her head. "I haven't. I was planning a stop today."

I turned, placed my mug into the sink, and grabbed my jacket. "Well, since I'm done and off shift anyway, we can head out," I said.

Everyone said their goodbyes, and we headed down the stairs. I took Gina to the cafe just down the block. It was quite busy for the morning, so we took a booth in the back corner.

She opened her purse and started to lay down paperwork. My eyebrows went up. "What's all that?"

She swallowed. "Well, we will need to plan the wedding. Or at least try to make something happen for Chris to believe this. And after thinking things over, I would like to protect my finances."

I snorted. "Your finances?"

She looked at me dead in the face, and my smirk quickly sank away. I sighed. "Gina, I don't want your money."

"You don't know how much I have."

"And you don't know how much I have," I countered. "My family has money, too."

She slides me a paper. "Can you please just sign this?"

"What is it?"

"A prenup."

"And the romance begins," I said as I grabbed the pen and quickly signed my name.

She raised an eyebrow. "You're not going to question me about it? Argue with me?"

I sighed. "If a prenup makes you more comfortable, then so be it."

She looked stunned for a moment before she shook her head and grabbed some more papers. "This is some other paperwork they will want filling out. Knowing Chris, he will likely have all this, so I figured we could get it done ahead."

I didn't fight her. I just signed where she said.

After that, she looked at the paper as the waiter came up. "Can I get you guys started with some drinks?"

"Coffee," I said.

Gina scowled. "You just had coffee."

I scowled. "Yeah, and I need more."

Gina rolled her eyes. "Water for me." She then looked at me as the waiter walked away. "You're still as short-tempered as ever."

I frowned at her. "I am not."

She snorted, looking at the menu. "He said gruffly."

I sighed. "I worked overnight. I spent the day dealing with you yesterday and then stayed up all night doing border patrol, so I'm tired."

She looked up from the menu. "Then why did you ask me to meet you at the fire station today? You could have gone home and gone to bed."

"Because I knew you’d want to." She was tired and scared last night, and I couldn't sleep when I got home after everything.
