Davina sighed as she heard the front door of the Angelini mansion open and close. She had been sitting on the couch, looking tired after a long day of taking care of Mikey. She had been putting off telling Gabriel about the pregnancy, but she knew she couldn't avoid it any longer.
She tensed up as she heard footsteps approaching. When Gabriel entered the room, she couldn't help but admire his handsome features. He was wearing a tailored suit, and his white hair was perfectly coiffed. She reminded herself that he was her boss, and she was pregnant with his child. It was complicated.
"Hey, you seem upset. What's wrong?" Gabriel asked, noticing Davina's tense posture.
Davina hesitated for a moment before standing up and showing him the positive pregnancy test. Gabriel's eyes widened in shock before a smile spread across his face.
"Davina, this is...this is amazing news," he said, pulling her into a hug.
Davina was surprised by Gabriel's reaction. She had been worried about how he'd take the news, but he seemed genuinely happy. She felt a wave of relief wash over her.
"I found out I'm eight weeks pregnant," Davina said, as Gabriel released her from the hug.
Gabriel brought up the fact that Mikey might not be happy about the news. Davina nodded in agreement.
"I know, I've been worried about that too," she said.
Gabriel assured her that he'd handle it, and that Mikey would come around.
"Davina, are you okay?" Gabriel asked, noticing the worried look on her face.
Davina admitted that she had been feeling overwhelmed. Gabriel offered to take her out for a drink to help her relax.
They headed to the mansion's bar, and Gabriel poured them each a glass of whiskey. They clinked glasses and took a sip.
"I can't believe how much has changed in such a short amount of time," Gabriel said, looking at Davina with a smile.
Davina made a playful insult about Gabriel's white hair, and he laughed. The conversation turned to more serious topics, but they kept it light. Davina was surprised by how easy it was to talk to Gabriel.
As the night went on, they both started to feel the effects of the alcohol. Davina stumbled, and Gabriel caught her. They looked at each other, and there was a moment of tension. Davina knew she shouldn't, but she couldn't help herself. She leaned in and kissed Gabriel.
Gabriel was surprised, but he quickly responded. They started making out, and it was clear that they both wanted this. They stumbled to Gabriel's bedroom, and the night ended with a passionate one-night stand.
Davina woke up the next morning, feeling guilty about what had happened. She quickly got dressed and left the mansion without saying goodbye to Gabriel. She knew that they couldn't let what happened complicate things any further.
But as she drove home, she couldn't help but think about the way Gabriel had looked at her, and the way he had made her feel. She knew that she would have to see him again, and she couldn't wait to see what would happen next.
