View MoreCat was working at her desk the next day when Tilly took a call from reception.“Cat, it’s for you.” Tilly let her know after putting the call on hold.Cat looked up from the contract she was vetting. Smiling at Tilly, Cat lifted the phone to take the call. “Cat Sinc… Logan speaking.” Oops, she needed to get used to using her married name. The problem was, for years, she had used Sinclair.“Hi Mrs Logan, we have a lady down here in reception demanding to speak to you.” Came Cathy’s voice over the phone. She was manning the reception desk today with Amanda, who was new and had replaced Tilly.Cat had tried to get the staff to still call her Cat instead of Mrs Logan, because they already had a Mrs Logan in the building, Allison. Other than a handful of people, everyone else insisted on calling her by her married name. Then Cathy said in a quieter tone, as if she didn’t want anyone to overhear her. “She said she is your mother.”Cat frowned. When Cathy had first said a lady, her first th
Cat got her way Monday morning. She sat in the car with Eric as he drove them to work. Peters and another man, named Wilson, who she hadn’t met before, were in the car behind them.Eric had told her after his meeting with security last night that he was hiring around the clock protection. Also, one of the safest places for her during the day was the office.“Oh, so now it’s safe. I’m allowed to go back to work.” Cat stood glaring at him with her hands on her hips. “The next time you want to discuss my safety with your hot shot security guys, maybe include the person you are trying to protect.”Eric had just gripped the back of her head and pulled her in for a hard kiss. Cat knew it was to shut her up, but after a few minutes, she didn’t care.They found themselves on top of the lounge with Cat spread out over his thighs and Eric’s hand in her panties. It took them both a few moments to remember that Cat couldn’t for another week. Eric had rested his head against her before saying, “I
The next morning. They sat on the balcony that overlook the double bay area. Cat picked up her orange juice, looking at Eric as he read the morning paper. They had just enjoyed a leisurely Sunday breakfast. Dawn had taken herself off early to do some shopping before heading home to Cowra after lunch.It was time for the anticipated fight she knew she was going to have with Eric. Cat couldn’t put it off any longer. “I’m going back to work tomorrow.”Her statement made Eric’s head snap up. “I don’t think that’s a good idea.”“My doctor cleared me to go, Eric. So, unless you’re firing me, I’m going. I will not be stuck at home barefoot and pregnant. I must properly train Tilly for the role. It’s not like my job has any heavy lifting. I will not sit at home and do nothing. You have an option to get with the program.” Cat smiled at Eric before adding. “Or I’ll get your mother involved.” That was her trump card. Eric’s mother had worked until the last few weeks of her pregnancy.Eric angril
Cat sat the next day with her foster mum in the lounge, looking over the houses Eric had sent through. She fell in love with an oceanfront property. It had two major issues: extensive work required and costly for a place in dire need of so much work. It just seemed to her a little excessive.“It really is lovely.” Expressed Dawn.“Mum, I agree, but I’m not sure it would be ready to move in before the babies are born.” Cat worried. It was a shame it needed so much work.“I think you forget how wealthy your husband is. If the house fits both of your requirements. Eric could hire an army of people to get it fixed in time.”Cat nodded, biting her bottom lip. “But is it worth it?”“Why don’t you put the house on your list and look at it on Saturday? You might hate it when you actually see it.”Cat nodded again, but wasn’t so sure. Positive that when she saw it, she would love it. It wasn’t modern. The house dated back to the late 1800s, a beautiful brick home with chimneys in the formal lou
Cat was so excited to go home she was almost bursting. Eric wouldn’t let her pack her own things up. So, she sat on the bed and watched him. He permitted her to dress herself with his assistance. He had brought in sweats for her to go home in. Easy to put on and remove. As she was slipping on her shoes, Eric made sure he had everything from the bathroom. He had only just placed her packed bag on the bed when the nurse came in with her release papers. Cat happily signed them.“Here is the paperwork for at home care. Should you have questions, call the hospital or book an appointment with your GP.” Cat grinned a thanks at the nurse, about to take the paperwork offered. But Eric beat her to it.“It’s like you don’t trust me.” Cat gave Eric a suspicious look.Eric denied nothing, just said. “When it comes to your health and that of the babies, I’m making it my responsibility until you are back on your feet.”The nurse laughed and left the room, only to return with a wheelchair.“I don’t ne
Two days later, Cat had had enough. She wanted to go home. She didn’t enjoy being in the hospital, and even in a private room, the noise level wasn’t ideal for her rest, as the doctor had suggested.Eric looked up from his computer as she sighed. “Do you need something?”“Yes, I want to leave. I’m bored out of my mind and I’m sick of being stuck in this bed.” Even Cat could hear the whine in her voice. God, she sounded like a petulant child. She knew she was only here for her and the babies’ best interests. But day time television sucked. Until now, Cat had never realised how much. “I’m sick of TV and magazines. Even the smell of a hospital around me all the time is getting to me.” Cat pouted. Totally fed up with her current situation.Eric smirked at her.“Eric, it isn’t funny.” Cat expressed her displeasure by scowling at him as he laughed at her. She knew she wasn’t being fair. It demonstrated her discontent about being stuck here until Dr Mckay let her go home.Eric put his compute
Cat had an awful night. Now she was more awake, everything hurt and because of the babies; they haven’t been able to give her anything to help with the pain. The hospital staff also told her the best thing was rest. Tell that to her aching body.By mid-morning, Cat had a parade of visitors. Jack and Dawn came first, arriving as Eric was leaving. He kissed her warmly, saying. “I’ll be back in the hour.”On his return, he set up his laptop in the corner so he could keep an eye on her. She was more awake now, but he was making sure she didn’t overtax herself.After Jack and Dawn left to go have lunch. Allison arrived with Jo. They spent an hour together. It must’ve cost Jo, but she said nothing about Claudia. Cat knew once Jo got her alone, Jo would expect her to tell her everything.Cat found out Tilly was filling in for her at the office, and Allison was very pleased. Cat smiled; glad Allison had someone helping her.Then Eric stepped out of the room to make a few calls. The police arri
Voices woke her. She lay there trying to understand what was going on, the beat of machines and the smell of a hospital room... that’s right, she was in a hospital.Why? Cat tried to remember, then it came back to her. Claudia! The woman had acted completely crazy. As Cat’s memory started to return, her internal panic increased. Had she lost the babies? Please god no! Please, loss filled Cat at even the thought of her babies gone.She felt empty. She needed to open her eyes and ask someone before grief overwhelmed her. Cat just wasn’t sure if she was ready to hear it yet. She didn’t know if she could even voice the question.Bracing herself, Cat opened her eyes and looked around without moving her head. The pain she felt was unbelievable, knowing if she moved her head, it would only make it worse.Cat just looked around with her eyes, trying to make them focus. The room was dim, but light still peaked around the blinds, allowing some light into the room. No overhead lights. That was go
Cat decided she couldn’t let it get to her and got to work. She still had all the CVs sitting on her desk she needed to go through, hoping to find just the right fit for Allison. One CV was from an employee currently working at Logan Holdings. She was young, only 19, but at present worked on the reception desk, on the ground floor. Cat lifted the phone, hoping Tilly would pick up when she dialled the reception number. “Logan Holdings, Tilly speaking. How may I direct your call?” “Tilly, this is Katherine from Allison Logan’s office. I just came across your CV. I was wondering if you could come and see me today? To talk about your interest in the role.” Then Cat thought “Tilly does your direct supervisor know you applied?” “That’s great, oh yes! Katherine, is it all right to call you Katherine or should I call you Mrs Logan now? Yes, my supervisor, Mrs Pearson, recommended I apply for the job.” Tilly said excitedly. Cat smiled “Katherine or Cat is fine, can you ask Mrs Pearson then
