Amelia's POV
"Put her and her together," I ordered softly and he nodded moving away from the camera to do just that. Hands moved around my waist and I smiled leaning back knowing who it was.

"Are you ready?" Xavier asked softly kissing my cheek.

"Not yet,"

"Time estimate?" he asked resting his head against my shoulder.

"Five minutes,"

"Okay so ten?" He asked amused and I rolled my eyes playfully turning in his arms, loving the way he looked in his suit.

"No I actually mean five this time," I whispered and he chuckled pecking my lips.

"What is this for?"

"A promo for Sandra's new clothing line," I whispered back feeling at home in his hold.

"Didn't she just do a promo last week?" He asked confused

"No that was the other Sandra"

"Sandra White?"

"No this is Sandra White, I did Sandra Mills last week, " I explained and he chuckled, kissing my forehead.

"I'm going to get something to drink,"

"Bring me a water on your way back," I requested and he nodded walking off towards the break room.

"Matt have them sit facing each other," I said and he nodded getting them ready before walking over to me, he took several pictures before showing them to me. I scanned through each quickly finding a few that I deemed good enough for the cover.

"Ladies can you look this way for me please?" I asked and they nodded turning their heads towards the camera.

"Take some more, then shut it down," I told Matt and he smiled.

"Will do, remember your charger,"

"You actually remembered to carry it back this time," I said walking away not missing his laughter as I moved over to the couch near the entrance grabbing charger.

I turned to see Xavier walking towards me with a bottle of water in his hand, looking perfect.

"Under five minutes," I said amused taking the bottle from him, handing him my bag.

"Actually over five you count the time we spent conversing," he replied pulling the door open leading me outside and I smiled amusement filling me.

Xavier's POV
I stood there removing my food from the microwave placing it on the kitchen counter facing Amelia who was currently feeding Ace fruits.

"Dada," he said looking at his mother pointing to me as she wiped the grape juice from his mouth gently. The door rang and I placed my fork back into my plate moving away from the counter ready to go get it.

"Bye Bye," Ace said giggling and I smiled looking back at him.

"I'm not leaving I'm just going to get the door,"

"Bye bye," he repeated and I heard Amelia's laughter echoing throughout the room as I left. I stepped towards the door pulling it open to see Lesley.

"Don't you have a key?" I asked as she moved inside.

"I left it here," she replied as I closed the door, I laughed slightly trailing behind her as she walked towards the kitchen.

"Hey Acey," Lesley called out and he giggled bouncing in his seat slightly display his three little teeth.

"Hope you've been treating my wife good," Lesley added looking at me as I continued to eat my food.

"I treat your wife with the up most respect," I replied watching as she moved over to the fridge taking out a bottle of orange juice.

"I'm going to see you next week for the shoot," she spoke to Amelia making her way to the exit.

"She's the reason why we spend so much on grocery," I announced amused the moment I heard the front door closing and Amelia laughed placing the now empty bowl on the counter.

"You gave her a key," she replied smiling and I chuckled watching as Ace looked down at his hand in amazement. My phone buzzed and I picked it up reading a text from Amelia's father Alexander.

"I'm going to meet your father," I announced softly putting away the device.

"Doctor's appointment?" She asked softly worry in the dept of her eyes and I sighed moving behind her.

"We're just going to get some food, relax baby," I whispered kissing her neck in a comforting way.

"You forgot about it didn't you?" She asked amused and I chuckled kissing her shoulder wrapping my hands around her waist.

"No I didn't," I lied a smile playing on my lips.

"Xavier you just took leftovers from the microwave," she pointed out and I chuckled kissing her cheek pulling away.

"I'll see you later," I replied moving around her pecking her lips before kissing Ace's forehead.

"Bye bye," Ace called out happily waving goodbye and I smiled copying gesture earning a giggle from him.

"So she doesn't want a party?" Alexander asked as I stopped at a red light.

"She doesn't want anything,"

"That is very unlike my babygirl," he pointed out and I nodded in agreement.

"But you still got her something?" He asked amused and I chuckled

"Nothing major, I'm just planning to get her a cake and some wine, and a small gift,"

"A small gift? " He asked laughing and I smiled driving off.

"I already bought the gift, I was planning to call and pick it up today but I left my phone back at the house," I said and he nodded letting out a sound of understanding as comfortable silence fell between us once more.

"You look a little tired how are you feeling?" I asked glancing his way, not missing how exhausted he looked at the restaurant as well. The sweat that constantly-

"Not as bad as expected," he whispered smiling.

"So when are you planning to tell her?"

"Soon, very soon maybe after her birthday," he mumbled and I nodded sadness washing over me as I clicked the button opening the gate.

"I'm trying to find somewhere that offers treatment to-"

"I know you are, but everything happens for a reason," he said as I drove up the driveway leaving the gate to close behind me.

"Are you okay?" I asked him as my eyes caught the light sweat building in his pours.

"Yeah just a little hot," he replied smiling opening the car door getting out as I did the same.

"There's water in the fridge," I told him as we began making our way to the entrance, stepping inside of the house immediately going to the living room in search of Amelia.

"She's probably upstairs," I announced and he nodded moving to the refrigerator grabbing a bottle of water and I frowned not liking the way he looked.

"Why don't you take a seat," I offered and he nodded moving to the couch as I made my way upstairs. I pushed open the door to see her laying with Ace beside her both their eyes trained on the television before them.

"Your father is downstairs," I told her moving closer to bed.

"Is he okay?" She asked frowning as I kissed her forehead.

"He's alive," I replied chuckling not wanting to lie completely.

"Funny," she mumbled rolling her eyes playfully as Ace sat up crawling across her body to get to me, I smiled lifting him loving the giggle that left him.

"You coming down?" I asked and she nodded turning off the television. I reached for my phone, taking it off the nightstand placing it in pocket as we made our way downstairs.

"Blue," Ace mumbled pointing to my shirt.

"Yes blue," I replied kissing his forehead and he smiled hiding his face in my chest as we entered the living room.

"Are you okay?" I asked Alexander handing Ace to Amelia looking at him sweaty figure.

"I'm fine," he mumbled wiping his face holding onto the couch, using it as support for his limbs.

"I think you should sit-" I started but stopped, panic and worry suffocating me as I watched him fall to the floor. I immediately moved over to his unconscious body, kneeling down feeling for a pulse as I began calling the ambulance different emotions running through me as Ace's cries echoed around the room.
