30 A Surprise

{P.O.V. Jennifer Ross- Ryans}

Blinking my eyes open, it was already morning. The sun was shining bring through the window, lighting up the whole room. Turning over, Kendrick was out of bed lying here. I got thinking about how Kendrick said he loved me. It put a goofy smile on my face and put fluttering butterflies in my stomach. Turning my head to see what time it is, it's 10:30 a.m. I wonder where Kendric escape to this morning? Sitting up on my elbows, I see all our bags were packed, and an outfit was lying on the bottom of the bed for me. I forgot that we were heading back home today. Getting up out of bed, I look for Kendrick.

He was standing in the front room area, looking out of the window, talking on the phone with someone. He looked sexy in that tight, black Godsmack t-shirt. It showed off all his muscles quite nicely. He also wore some dark with light blue ripped jeans that really showed of his long muscular legs, and it really showed off his ass. He was also wearing a pair of socks. Taking as eat on the couch, I sat there quietly watching him.

"I see... Schedule him in... Alright." Then he cuts the call and turns around. He had a look of surprise to see me. "Good morning."

"Good morning." Greeting him back with the goofy smile still on my face.

"What are you so happy about this morning?" He asks with not understanding. I get off the couch and walk towards him.

"Jeez, I don't know. Maybe it has something to do with last night." Acting like I had no idea while teasing him. Standing in front of him, he slips his arms around my waist.

"Ah, last night... That was an interesting night."

"It really was." He answers with a hum sound and smiles. He leans down and kisses me, and I kiss him back. Running his right arm up back and into my hair, the kiss deepens.

"Jennifer, if we don't stop now, you won't get ready for the flight to go home," Kendricks says, a little breathless.

"Tell me that you love me." I want to hear the words again, placing kisses on his neck.

"Jennifer..." He warns

"I will get ready only if you say that you.." He cuts me off.

"I love you. Now, will you shower and get dressed?" Damn, I enjoy hearing him say that.

"Shower with me?" I want him near me and touching me. "Please, Kendrick, pretty please.." Trying to be cute as I can be, he chuckles and then sighs at me.

"Fine, only if it gets you showered and dressed."

"It will."

"Things I do for you.." With that said, he quickly swoops me up into his arm in bridal style, getting a girl laugh yell out of me. He takes me into the bathroom.

It's so nice to be back home; stepping out of the car, I stretched my legs. Kendrick comes to my side of the car. Closing my car door, he takes my hand, and we walk towards the house.

"I'm so glad we're finally out of that car." Telling him.

"Same here." He agrees with me. Mrs. Conners comes out and greets us along with a couple.

"Mr. and Mrs. Ryans, welcome home!" Mrs. Conners greets us. "Mrs. Ryans, this is the young couple I told you about that helps out around here; this is Karla.." Karla was slightly shorter than I was and had beautiful long brown hair. "..and this here is Bruno." He was a muscled man and a lot taller than Karla; he also brown hair. "Bruno and Karla, this is Mr. Ryans's new wife, Jennifer Ryans.

"It's nice to meet you." Shaking their hands, they greet me back.

"Karla and Bruno went away to take care of Bruno's sick mother. Now that she is doing better, they have returned."

"I'm glad to hear she is feeling better."

"Thank you, mam," Bruno says. "Welcome home, Mr. Ryans." Kendrick nods his head.

"Now that you have met each other, Karla and Bruno need to get back to work. Bruno, will you help Mr. Hollows bring the luggage in?" Mrs. Conners asks. Bruno nods his head and starts helping bring the luggage in. "Before I get back work, Mr. Ryans, the bedroom was completed when you two were away."

"Thank you, Mrs. Conners."That put a huge smile on his face. She nods her head and goes back inside. Bedroom? did he redo our bedroom?"

"What is she talking about?" Asking Kendrick

"You'll see." He picks up the paste, and we go inside and right up the stairs. Stopping a door down from our bedroom.

"What are we doing here?" What has he done to this guest room?"

"When I rushed you to the hospital, and I found out you were pregnant. The doctor said that you were bout three months pregnant. Not far along enough to get pictures of baby gender. But you were far along enough to do a blood test to see what the baby's gender was. I told the doctor to do the blood test, but I didn't want to know. Instead, I had the doctor sent the result to my dear friend Melanie. The thing about her she is an interior designer. After she got the results, she created the baby room. She sent the plans to another that works for her. While we were gone, a different interior designer came and put it together for us."

"So right behind this door is our baby room?" I ask with awe but with tiny excitement.

"Yes.." He answers

"And it is designed by what were having? and you have no idea what the gender is either?"

"Yes, and I have no idea."

"Can we go in now?" Trying to keep my excitement down.

"Yea.." He opens the door, and the moment I walked in, my heart swelled with joy. My hand went over my mouth, and happy tears were pricking at my eyes. My legs felt like they had no control as they take me into the room.

The room was completely white with light grey baseboards and carpet. There were pink and purple flowers painted everywhere. There was a cute train painted on the walls filled with cute girl jungle animals. There was beautiful light-colored wooden furniture. A white rocking chair and a small couch were sitting next to a cute bookshelf filled with books. There were a changing table and a dresser. The closet was full of cute baby dresses and extra baby blankets. And the crib had cute jungle bedding.

"Were having a girl..." Saying in awe as the tears started to fall. "I'm not giving an heir but an heiress?" Looking back at Kendrick, he was standing in the doorway, just smiling at me. He walks into the room and places his thumbs on my face, and wipes the tears away.

"Looks that way." He says sweetly and places a kiss on my head. Wrapping my arms around his waist, he hugs me back. Holding me tight to him, I kept admiring the room. After admiring the room, I didn't want to leave. Instead, We ended up sitting on furniture with me, trying to come up with different girl baby names. After that, I was so excited that I called Cassidy and told her. She was just excited as I was that we talked about its different related baby topics.

(P.O.V. Lucia Tanners-Montgomery)

We just got back from the ball, and now we're in our hotel room. Zach was really upset with me, so mad I have never seen him so mad. I was sitting on the couch listening to him yell at me for my stupid stunt I pulled tonight.

"I think we should separate for a while. It would be best if you thought about what it is you want. Your actions tonight were way beneath you. When we leave this hotel room tomorrow, you're not coming home with me. I have had our housekeeper send some of your clothes to your Mothers house. And yes, your mother does know what you did. I told her exactly what happened." Zachs says calmly as he could.

"What about Lionel and Ginger?" Asking about our kids.

"The kids will be staying with me while you figure it all out. They don't deserve to watch their mother act this way."

"But.. Zach... Ginger only 2, and Lionel is only 4 and a half whos going to watch them while you are at work?"

"Their nanny." Tears were streaming down my face. "I love you, Lucia, but you went too far this time. You wounded me deeply tonight."

"Zach... Please don't send me away.."

"I'm going to sleep in another room tonight." He bends down and places a kiss on my forehead. "I really do love you."

Then he leaves the hotel room. I tried to hold onto his arm as he left, but he was stronger than I was. Left in this huge empty hotel room, I cried hard. It's been years since I cried like this, 5 years to be exact.
