Slice of Paradise
Seth wouldn't tell me where we were going until we were about to land. Turks and Caicos didn't sound like a place I would ever want to visit but as I exited the plane I quickly changed my mind. I looked around in pure awe as I took everything in.
I waited patiently as Seth took care of our business. He had told me before we landed that we would be on a private beach and would have to take a boat there. I couldn't believe he had planned all this. Not Seth. Not after the fight we had, I had been certain we were over when I boarded the jet. Now I didn't know what to think.
The boat ride didn't take long and as soon as the crew unloaded our bags we were left to ourselves. Seth walked behind me looking rather proud of himself as he followed me as I looked around. Opening the sliding glass door I stepped outside, "How did you manage all this in less than a day?"
Seth walked up behind me wrapping his arms around me, "I went to the studio to calm down but I kept worr

Broken Promises   Lazy Days and Lazy Nights
The next morning I awoke blinking at the harsh light that was streaming in through the many windows of our bedroom. Grumbling I stood up and more or less stumbled to the bathroom. I was still half asleep as I yawned stopping and looking in the mirror before heading back to bed.My hair was a hot mess. Shaking my head I walked back into the bedroom burying myself deep into the covers beside Seth. Try as I might I couldn't go back to sleep. Sighing I got up and headed to my bag pulling on a pair of underwear and a sundress. Grabbing my phone I went to the kitchen and poured myself a glass of orange juice. I wasn't a huge fan but I didn't see a coffee pot anywhere.Walking outside I sat down in a lounge chair pulling my dress up to my knees enjoying the feel of the sun on them. I had several texts and email notifications so I started with my work email. None of the emails needed my attention so I deleted them going next to my text, both Erin and Brooke had sent me several
Broken Promises   Home
Leaving our paradise made me a little sad. Our time away had been amazing but it also went by in a blur. Seth had his jet fly me home first and he even rode with me to my apartment only to leave me with a kiss on the doorstep. He had never brought up me moving in with him again and it kinda bummed me out. The last time he had asked me I had flipped on him, and although I still would have said no, I still wanted him to ask. Maybe the sun had damaged my brain but I already missed him and moving in with him was actually sounding better and better by the day.Brooke had come over for a minute, but it was late and she had to be up early in the morning. I guess I had jet lag because I felt like crap but couldnt' sleep. I didn't have to be at work for two more days and had planned on taking my time unpacking but I ended up doing it and even starting a load of laundry before I even attempted to lay down. The house was quiet, the only noise was from the traffic outsi
Broken Promises   Unexpected News
I sat at my desk scrolling through my photos of Seth and me on the beach. It had been a month since we had returned and I was already ready for another vacation. When Camilla said I'd be handling more accounts I had no idea just how much more I would actually be doing. It was close to midnight and I was still not done designing a new theme for one of our newest and pickiest clients.Seth had already called and I didn't want to bug him, he had his son staying the weekend with him and I didn't want to distract him from that. Leaning pack in my chair I closed my eyes, they were burning from staring at the computer for so long. I knew I should just give up and go to bed but I really didn't want to work on anything tomorrow. I had purposely taken Friday off giving me a glorious 3 day weekend to do nothing but sleep.This week had gotten the better of me somewhere along the way. I was exhausted and had been having a headache for days. My appetite had all but vanished. For su
Broken Promises   Not How I Had Planned
I found it almost impossible to sleep snuggled up close to Seth. It had been two weeks since I had found out I was pregnant and Seth showed up out of nowhere tonight. I mean not that I was complaining, I had been happy that he had been in Vegas and decided to make an unplanned trip to see me since he was so close.When he showed up at my door I just knew he was here to confront me. He had told me he would be in Vegas for a couple of days and we had talked about trying to meet up but neither of our schedules could fit it in. I guess he found time.Now here I was my head laid on his chest, our bodies side by side, and I was feeling super guilty. Brooke had stopped trying to persuade me into telling him but I could still hear her voice in my head. My first doctors' appointment was in the morning. Should I tell him? Maybe him showing up tonight as a sign.Staying still was proving impossible. I moved my legs trying not to wake Seth. For a moment I had thought I had
Broken Promises   What I Want
As my phone began ringing again and his name flashed in front of me I knew without a doubt that he had indeed heard me. I didn't want to answer, this wasn't how this was supposed to happen. I knew if I ignored him he would be pissed, but I also knew I wasn't ready to talk to him. I let out a breath as my phone went silent to only jump at the sound of my text. Opening it up I read "KENNEDY CLAIRE ROGERS PICK UP THIS GOD DAMN PHONE RIGHT NOW!It began ringing again and I picked it up, he didn't even give me time to say hello before he began. "What the fuck did you just say?"I swallowed wondering if I could lie. He again didn't give me time to speak, "is it true? How long have you known?"I looked down, "today."He laughed, "today you found out TODAY."I sighed, "ok no, I found out two weeks ago but I went to the doctor yesterday and...."I had to pull the phone from my ear as he started in, "and you didn't think I needed to know any
Broken Promises   Leaving LA
My decision to move back to Miami was an easy one, I wanted Seth, and if that's what it took that's what I would do. I would have preferred to be able to remain in LA until I knew how things were going to work out but sometimes you had to sacrifice to get what you wanted. This was a huge sacrifice for me. I had sworn to myself when we first started talking again I wouldn't do the exact thing I was doing now.We had talked forever that night. My moving wouldn't be as easy as my other moves. I had a lease on my condo that I couldn't break, I had mandatory office meetings that I had to attend, and Brooke how the hell was I going to tell her. Seth was taking care of the condo for me and paying out the rest of my lease. My job however proved to be a bigger problem than I had anticipated. I had planned on keeping it and flying in when I had to attend a meeting, Camilla already had approved me to conference in on some of them so I didn't think it would be that big of a deal.
Broken Promises   Back to Miami
The closer I got to Seth's jet the better I began to feel. I took the steps up a little disappointed he wasn't waiting for me but the minute I saw him and his goofy ass grin I couldn't help but grin back up at him. He stood up pulling me into his arms, "its about time you gave in."I looked up at him frowning as I took a seat, "whatever, you're going to be begging me to leave in a week."His hands skimmed over my belly and I felt chills, "I doubt it."We both looked up as Seth's assistant boarded the plane and let us know we would be taking off in about ten minutes. He nodded leaning back as he looked over at me, "when we land I have to run somewhere for a couple of hours but then I should be yours all weekend."I nodded yawning, "you're good. I just want to sleep."Grabbing my hand Seth looked over at me, "so how have you been feeling."Looking down I smiled giving his hand a soft squeeze, "I'm better now."He grinned at me, "I know
Broken Promises   Feelings
My first week back in Miami had seemed to fly by. I had unpacking to do, shopping for necessities for both myself and the house, and just getting back on a schedule. The time change was no bitch either and being pregnant only made it seem worse.I still had another week to go before my next doctors' appointment so I mostly trolled Pinterest looking for nursery room ideas. Today was no different, I was sat downstairs on the couch covered with a blanket looking at my phone when Seth came in slamming doors. Sighing I looked over my shoulder to see him throw his keys down on the counter, "what's your problem?" I asked as he walked into the living area.He shook his head pulling off his baseball cap as he made his way up the stairs, "I don't have any problems that I can't handle."Frowning at him I closed my eyes. I really didn't have time for any kind of drama right now. I had eaten something for lunch that had made me sick and I still felt like crap. When he came b
