Adeline Santiago's POV

It's been a few days since Matéo and I were in New York.

I have been distant with him at all costs to avoid the conversation by any means possible.

How will I tell him?

We are having a child!

Together!

With each other!

I need to think.

*Flash back to New York a few days back*

"This can not be happening!" I nearly cry into Eleanor's shoulder.

No, I don't like her, but like it or not, she is going to become my sister in law one day and I should try and behave better towards her.

"Hey, everything is gonna be alright" She soothes, holding me close.

"Who the fuck are you, Bob Marley?!" I scowl.

Talking about gonna be alright...

She chuckles.

"You and Matéo are going to be parents!" She says excitedly, clapping her hands.

I rub my hand over my stomach.

There is a tiny person inside my stomach!

I am going to be a mother!

Christ.

*end of flashback*

How will Matéo react?

Will he be happy?

Will he get angry?

How will he feel?

But I have to tell him.

And I have to tell him now.

We are inside the P.H.Q (Phoenix. Head Quarters)

Of course I have been giving out every excuse as to why I can't physically train and by the end of it, I end up with Niko and Janelle in the ammunition and weaponry protocol.

"Hey Ade?" Janelle asks.

I nod my head yes.

"You can take a break now, you seem a little out of it today." She tells me and I sigh.

"I'm fine" I mumble.

"Nah, she's right, you're a little off today. Take the rest of the day off and get some rest, okay?" Niko tells me.

The both look concerned.

"Are you sure?" I ask.

They nod.

"Me and Janelle got it from here" Niko says, and I catch a light smirk on his face.

I look at Janelle, to see her blushing a little.

I smile to myself and raised an eyebrow at Niko.

He grins at me.

"Alright, see you both tomorrow!" I say, playing along.

I walk out and close the door after me.

Those two are so cute together!

Now to talk to Matéo.

I get on the elevator to the third floor and then walk to his office, knocking on the door gently. 

"Come in" he responds.

I enter and close the door behind me.

He looks down at the papers on his desk with sheer concentration and a slight frown.

Maybe I should come back la-

"Amore!" He says, looking up at me.

I look at his face and see a change.

He now has a small smile in his face.

"What can I do for you baby?" He asks.

I walk up to his desk and he beckons me to come round.

I do as he says and then he pulls me into his lap.

"Matéo we're at work!" I whisper.

"So?" He asks, nuzzling his face into my neck.

"What if we get caught?" I ask.

"I'm the boss, I'll do what I want, in my office" he replies simply.

"The boss, huh?" I ask him with a giggle.

He kisses my neck gently and cuddles me.

"Yeah" he responds.

"Ok, stop, we need to talk." I tell him seriously.

That seems to grab his attention.

He raises an eyebrow.

"Ok... What's going on?" He asks me.

I take a deep breath and then let it out.

"Matéo, I'm pregnant" I say all in one go.

His face slowly lights up as the realisation kicks in.

"It's about fucking time you told me!" He says, standing up and spinning me around.

"I'm gonna be a dad! I'm gonna be a dad!" He sings, dancing around the office like a mad man.

"You knew?" I ask.

He grabs me and kisses me deeply.

"I heard you throwing up one night, but I wanted you to say it to me" he says.

I kiss him back and he wraps his arms around me.

He suddenly pulls away and looks me in the eye.

"Babe are you... Are you crying?!" I ask him and he nods, letting a tear fall down his cheek.

"I'm gonna be a father!" He croaks.

"Of course I'm crying, I'm so happy!" He tells me.

My heart melts and I just hug him closer.

"What if it's a girl?!" He gasps.

"What if, it is?" I ask, raising an eyebrow.

"I'm gonna need an extra gun!" He panics.

I laugh at him.

"Matéo, calm down, ok?" I soothe.

"What do you mean, calm?" He asks incredulously.

He rubs my belly.

"Don't worry baby, she didn't mean it" he tells my stomach in a baby voice.

I giggle.

He smiles and takes my hand.

"Let's go home" He tells me.

We walk outside and I catch sight of Janelle and Niko, standing at his car.

He says something to her and she looks away, blushing.

He pulls her closer to him and grins at her.

She looks up at him and then kisses him, which he responds to by kissing her back.

I look away and shake my head gently.

Sebastian is going to kill them.

Matéo walks out, next to me and grabs my hand, not even taking notice of Niko and Janelle.

He is smiling from ear to ear, chest puffed out with pride.

We walk to the car and he opens my door so I can sit down, then he closes it, going back round and then sitting in the driver side.

He starts the car and begins to asks questions.

"How long have you known?" He asks me.

"Since we left New York" I reply.

"So why didn't you tell me a few days ago?" He asks.

He sounds a little hurt.

"Because I wasn't sure about how to go about it..." I respond truthfully.

He keeps one hand on the steering wheel and grabs my hand with the other.

"You can always tell me anything, my love, okay?" He asks.

"Okay" I whisper.

We arrive at our house and we go inside.

I go straight to the kitchen.

I hear Matéo's laughter from the hallway as he comes into the kitchen.

"When are we going to tell everybody?" He asks me.

"We can tell James' family and Belle's family at dinner next week?" I ask and he nods.

"What about your parents and my side of the family?" He asks.

"We will tell them tomorrow" I say tightly.

I wonder how they will react?
