So I just found that the boy's name is Tyler, he is five years old. Throughout the few hours I've known him he seemed like a nice boy and even though I don't know where I stand with his mother, I can't help but like the little guy.

Him and Leonardo have even been talking to get to know each other more. Although they have nothing in common, maybe he's like his mother, they do get along.

"Thank you so much for letting us stay in your lovely home. Tyler and I appreciate it." Olivia says when we get into her room and set the bags in.

I turn to her and give her a small smile. "Sure, I couldn't deny Leo the opportunity of getting to know his child." I place my hands in my pockets.

She takes a good look of the room and sighs, "You know, Nardo's places hasn't changed a bit since I last got to know him." She chuckles and shakes her head. "It's almost like he's afraid of change."

I frown in confusion. "I'm sorry, who?"

"Leonardo. I call him Nardo for short. I think it's cute."

I mentally roll my eyes but choose to just nod once again and leave her in the room alone. I don't think I can handle any more of her, maybe tomorrow but not today.

On my way to Leo and I's room, I am stopped by the sound of laughter coming from the room that is now Tyler's room. I peek inside and find Leo tickling the little boy.

I think this is the first time I've seen Leo this happy with anyone other than myself. Now he has a child, heir to his business and someone who can carry his name. Someone who can look up to him.

Thinking about it I can't help but feel kind of sad that I won't be the one to give Leo his first child, and what if he no longer wants children? What does that mean for me? That I also don't want children? But I want children of my own.

"Don't they just look happy? I wish I could have brought them together earlier." I don't.

I face Olivia and flash her a fake smile, which she returns with a smirk like smile, with that I enter my room. As soon as I get inside, I lean my head on the door and sigh.

Deciding that I want someone to talk to, I take out my phone and send a message on the group chat which consists on myself, Penny and Blaire.

It only takes a few seconds for them to respond.

I laugh at Penny's text. Of course she'll say that.

Seeing as it is only 11am right now, I think I could sleep for a few hours. Afterall, The Golden Coast is only minutes away and I don't take that long to dress up, so maybe I'll just wake in 4 hours.

~~~

I was wrong, I was wrong. I woke up at 3 o'clock, showered and when I started looking for an outfit, it took me longer than expected.

I did end up finding a suitable outfit for tonight that will make Penny happy but won't make me look like a slutty wife.

It is was a short tight black lace dress that I bought the time I went shopping with Blaire and Alex. And I thought I'd never wear it yet here am I!

After dressing up, I take my small bag with all my things inside and leave. Once I'm downstairs, I bump into Leo who was coming out of the kitchen with arms full of treats.

A frown makes its way on his beautifully sculpted face. "Hey, where are you going?" He asks.

I hold on tight to my bag, "Well, the girls and I are going out but I'll only be back tomorrow afternoon."

He nods.

"And where are you taking those?" I ask him with a chuckle and point at the treats in his arms.

He chuckles too, "Well I'm watching a movie with Olivia and Tyler. I thought you'd join us but seeing as..." He trails off.

I send him a sheepish smile, "I'm sorry, maybe next time?" I kiss his cheek and make my way to leave, only to be called.

"Alison," I turn and wait for him to say something, "You really don't mind this living situation right?"

"Of course I don't," I wave my hand around and giggle continuously, but stop myself when I hear how fake it sounded. "Anyway, I'm leaving now." With that, I slip put of the house.

~~~

"You, missy, are so late." Penny, of course, had to be the first one to comment at how late I am when I reach their table.

I start apologizing and sit down on the free chair beside Penny.

"You can't organise something and be late to it. That's just..." She trails off while looking for a word to explain it.

"Rude? Unethical?" Blaire throws a few words to her to which Penny shrugs.

"I was going to say it was a bitch move, but that works too." She simply says and starts sipping on her wine.

I raise a brow at her, "Really? Already getting drunk?"

She shakes her head instead, "No no honey, this is not me getting drunk, this is me getting ready."

I just chuckle and scan my eyes on the menu in my hands. I internally moan at the options, everything here looks appetizing. But I can't really enjoy my scan as I feel Blaire's eyes on me. I try to ignore it for a few seconds until I've hae enough of it.

I place the menu down and look at her, and as expected, she too, is looking at me. "What's wrong Blaire?"

She stares at me for a few seconds then shakes her head dismissing whatever it was then she looks at me back again. "Are you okay?"

That question alone made me realise that Blaire knows something, probably about the whole Leonardo and the baby mama drama. That explains everything, the sympathetic smile I got in the office as while as the hug when I exited the office, and now the strange stares.

I sigh and look at the menu again. "I don't know."

Now I feel Penny's eyes on me. "Wait, what's going on here? Am I missing something?"

I start having a mental battle as to whether or not to tell her but remember the whole point of going out with them, to rant and forget. So I tell Penny as well as Blaire the whole story, starting from Italy until the moment I left the house, without leaving no details out.

When I finish, I take a deep breath in and out. "Well shit." That's all Penny says.

I nod in agreement. "Well shit indeed. The worst part is I don't know how to feel about all this. I mean, I don't want to be a selfish stepmother and separate the two, or even hate on Tyler because the boy is just an angel to begin with, a harmless angel. But at the sane time I feel envy, jealous and hurt." I groan and refrain myself from rubbing my face in frustration so I just bite my lip.

Penny takes my hands in hers, "Babe, it's okay to feel all those things. This whole situation didn't just come as a shock to Leonardo but to you as well, so it affects you too. Hell, it might even change your life drastically. The thing you need to figure out is how you're going to get through this mess with your husband because I have a bad feeling about this Olivia girl."

Blaire hums in agreement. "And whatever happens just know that we are always here for you."

I start to fan away the tears with my hand, not wanting to ruin my makeup. "Ugh, you guys! You always know how to make a girl cry when she doesn't want to." I smack Penny's arm since she was the closest.

"Ow, what was that for?" She asks while rubbing her arm.

I smirk and shrug. "Just a bit of love and a thank you from me to you."

"Hey! Where is my thank you?" Blaire asks with a pout, so in return I kick her leg from under the table. "Ouch!" She screeches.

"You're welcome."
