ALL I WANT IS YOU

Stephan stared at her with a smile, think about it huh? There goes her little lies again, she seemed pretty excited to be working from home and he couldn't blame her. It seemed she had become accustomed to his house and how easy thing were for her while she was recovering as oppose to now.

"You don't need to think about it, as a matter of fact I do not want you resuming work here again. Your new station would be set in the house immediately after this conversation," Stephan informed her and he meant every word, all he had to do was call one of his bodyguards to get a chair and table placed in the corner of his office at home and also add a little feminine touch to make Dawn comfortable.

"Are you hungry?"

"Do you not want to have a child or you just don't want a female child?"

Are they really going back to this topic again? Why was this topic suddenly an interest to her? And why were his answers not stinking? Did he have to say it over and over again that he wasn't interested in having kids right now. "You haven't answered my question?" Stephan said trying to wave off her question.

"I am not hungry but I think..."

"You know the answer to that question Dawn, is something the matter? Is it Olivia?" the only person that was pregnant right now was Olivia and of course Ivy who just put to bed but Scar was accepting to his child. He just wasn't sure of Olivia's case because it seemed Travis just wanted the baby and not Olivia but he could only guess. He wasn't Travis so he didn't know how he felt about Olivia.

"No, this isn't about Olivia, I am just trying to understand you because in the future...."

"Future?" Stephan took note of her word and smirked at her. "So, you have imagined a future with me already?"

"..." this man was he ever going to listen to her, well being honest she had thought about a future with Stephan. I mean if you wanted to have kids with someone in a way it meant you have thought about it, not that she had thought about her wedding with him or how she wanted it to be but she had thought about kids running around the house.

"Haven't you thought about a future with me?" Dawn decided to twist his question and throw it right back at him. "What are you driving at?" his smart ass caught her.

"Well, if you have thought about us together...like in the future...then that means you must have thought about us..."

"Do you want to have a baby right now?" Stephan asked rubbing his forehead as the discussion was starting to give him headache and even Dawn was starting to notice it. It seemed no matter how she tried to put the question the answer would always remain no, it was only right she tell him the truth and let him decide what he wanted to do but not now. She wasn't ready.

"Now I think I am hungry," Dawn changed the subject touching her stomach as Stephan placed his hand on it as well rubbing it and Dawn could only hope she wasn't showing or something as she felt awkward with Stephan rubbing her stomach.

She had not been cautions of her stomach or the size as she always had a flat stomach. No matter what she ate it never got bigger over the years but since Sarah told her she was pregnant, unconsciously she found herself touching her stomach every minute trying to see if there were any changes but she figured changes couldn't just occur quickly.

"We could have Eric bring in something for us or I could take you to a restaurant down town."

"Let's go to the restaurant," at least over there she could distract herself from the thought of this baby or how to tell Stephan. Why was telling him getting more difficult every minute? Even the thought of it made her heart race and she didn't know why.

"Alright, let's go."

When everyone got home Dawn and Sarah went straight to the kitchen to make dinner Sarah wasn't much of a cook but she decided to assist Dawn in the kitchen. Even Dawn didn't know why she had decided to cook today but she needed anything that could distract her right now.

"So I am like one hundred percent pregnant?" Dawn muttered for only them to hear and Sarah nodded passing her thr chopped carrots.

"I know this might get you upset but I told Matteo about it," Sarah busted out. "You did what?"

"Sooner or later he was going to find out and I just needed his opinion on the issue," Sarah tried to explain herself. Truly it was wrong for her to have informed Matteo but in her defense she was truly worried and wanted to know the way forward and from her discussion with Matteo, it seemed like Stephan and Dawn were going to have serious issues.

Dawn collected the chopped carrots and placed it into the pot, she couldn't believe that Sarah would just go and tell Matteo about the baby just like that without consulting her.

"I can reassure you that I haven't told anyone yet and anyone being Stephan, Matteo has promised not to say a word."

"You shouldn't have informed him regardless of..."

"I am sorry, I panicked," Sarah apologized and that was the last thing they said to each other till the food was ready.

They quietly arranged the dinning, setting the plates and cutleries in place. Normally they would have had the new maid do it but with the tension in the air they ended up doing it themselves unconsciously.

When they were all settled to eat the atmosphere in the dinning room was abnormal, everyone seemed awfully quiet and maybe each one noticed but no one was willing to talk. After Matteo's conversation with Sarah about Dawn being pregnant, he had been destabilized the whole day. He found himself staring at Stephan and Dawn at interval while they ate. From Stephan's behavior he could tell Dawn had not yet told him about it.

Sarah had gotten mad when he told her, he wasn't ready to have a baby just yet but she eventually was more concerned about Dawn and Stephan especially the fact that Dawn wanted to keep the baby. None of these was good at all, the sooner Stephan knew about it the better for everyone.

Dawn stared at Sarah and then at Matteo and she could sense that Matteo was tensed as he seemed occupied staring at Stephan at interval, she could only hope that he would keep his mouth shut while she figured out how she was going to tell him about the baby tonight.

"If there is anything that has become a fact," Stephan finally broke the silent taking all of them off guard. Dawn stared at Matteo then at Sarah did anyone give Stephan a hint, she nearly choked on her food when she felt Stephan's eyes on her as she quickly took the glass of water next to her and took a sip. "Matteo and I had a discussion earlier," Stephan continued and this time it was Sarah who found herself looking at Matteo who had a blank expression on his face. "about the baby," Stephan added and Sarah reached for her glass and took a sip. "I mean Ivy's baby."

"Oh," Dawn muttered but it was more of a sigh of relieve that they weren't talking about the same baby. Ivy was currently still at the hospital but Sarah had mentioned she would be discharged soon when they were sure Ivy and the baby were good to go.

"We will be moving Ivy and her baby to our house and Matteo was suggesting we also move in together," Stephan said and our meaning the house he and Matteo owned. Earlier when Matteo had brought up the discussion he had thought about it for some while and it made total sense.

One of the reasons why he and Matteo had moved into the pent house was because it was closer to their company unlike the house which was so far away but since Dawn would be working from home this could work. Though, this was a suggestion that Matteo felt he should bring to their notice.

"Will that be convenient for you?" Dawn asked all of them as Stephan had already told her earlier that she would be working from home so where ever they were moving to, it wasn't going to be stressful for her.

"Yes, Matteo would that be convenient for both of us?" Sarah took the question personally.

"We could stay back here, it is only a suggestion," Matteo replied.

"I will move into the house since Dawn is moving as well," Sarah said.

When they were done eating, Dawn freshened up while Stephan busied himself on his laptop as he had already freshened up earlier while Dawn and Sarah were busy cooking in the kitchen. When Dawn was done bathing she cleaned up, wore her pajamas and got into bed, staring at Leonard who was busy on his laptop.

"I will join you soon," Leonard informed her feeling her eyes on him. He stared at her and smiled but she didn't smile back.

"Actually, there is something I want to discuss with you," Dawn announced sitting up on the bed.

"Okay," Stephan replied shutting his laptop, he placed it on the side stool and then placed his hand over Dawn's shoulder motioning her to lean on him as he took her hand in his.

"I am listening."

"I am pregnant."
