closer to her and she decided to just ignore him. She couldn t force feed herself and besides, she
knew she d be hungry again in about an hour.
Drew crawled in bed with her that night, as he tended to do every night and she fell into a restful
sleep. He hadn t tried making love to her again but he d convinced her the couch was too small for
him to sleep on. She felt badly for him, since he was putting everything else in his life on hold to take
care of her. Besides she slept better with him holding her. It felt great to be in his arms and he was
great support for her back.
They both woke up late the next morning and had to rush around before the movers showed up. She
had her last minute items that needed packed and she wanted to do a final search of her cupboards and
drawers. She was just finishing up when the Salvation Army arrived for her furniture. She was a little
sad to see the items hauled away.
The men thanked her for her donation. The apartment seemed too empty, with not much left except a
bunch of boxes. The moving company showed up within minutes of the other men leaving and her
apartment was cleared out within an hour. Drew sent the men ahead of them. He d already hired some
staff members who d let them into the new home.
She wandered around the empty apartment, making sure she hadn t forgotten anything. It was
completely empty. There was a knock on the door and a couple of women came in, carrying cleaning
supplies. She kept the place spotless but there was a final cleaning that had to be done. Drew hadn t
wanted her around the chemicals and had insisted on hiring a company to do it for her.
As much as her back was hurting, she hadn t argued with him and was relieved to have someone else
doing the hard work. She turned her keys over to the manager and walked out of the place she had
called home for the past couple of years.
Drew gently helped her into his car and they were off to the new house. She d only seen pictures of it
online and was looking forward to going through it. From the pictures, it was certainly impressive.
They entered the locked gate and drove down the driveway. The moving van was backed into the
garage and there was another furniture company van backed up as well. He told her he d ordered
their
furniture. He d also brought her a lot of catalogs and asked her to decorate. She d been too tired the
night before but had to admit she was looking forward to going through them.
She d never had the money to decorate the way she wanted to. She figured even if she wasn t there a
long time, it would be her gift to him, to decorate the place beautifully. She knew she had a great eye,
which was why she d chosen to be a florist. It was a form of art to create a bouquet for someone s
special day.
Trinity was wide eyed, as she walked through the huge front doors. The place was enormous and
stunning. It was more like one of his resorts, than a home. She wandered from room to room, gasping
in delight. There was even a library, similar to the one at Jasmine s house. Drew said it wasn t as
large as Derek s place but she was thinking he was wrong. She didn t understand why anyone needed
so much space.
She stepped through the French doors and was delighted to find an outdoor kitchen. She d always
wanted one. She could imagine her daughter playing in the swimming pool, while she barbequed
dinner and then they d eat beneath the stars. It was perfect in so many ways. It wouldn t be easy to go
back to living in an apartment after residing in this home.
The movers kept bringing in the furniture and she was impressed with everything he picked out. He
had excellent taste and she couldn t imagine she would ve picked anything different.
 I want to show you something and remember if you don t like any of it, we can return it and get what
you want. But I wanted to help you since you re on bed rest, he told her, as they slowly made their
way up the beautiful staircase.
He opened a door and she felt tears fall, as she stepped into the room. It was fully stocked with baby
furniture. He d thought of everything. She walked over to the gorgeous canopied bed and looked
inside, excited for the day her daughter would lay her little head in there.
 I didn t pick out any of the bedding or anything because Jasmine said you d want to choose your own
theme but she said you should like this cherry wood, he said with some apprehension. He couldn t
tell by her tears if she liked it or hated it. He stood there waiting for the verdict.
She walked up to him and wrapped him in her arms, as much as her large belly would allow.  Thank
you Drew, it s all perfect, she said with a sniffle. The more things he did, the more she realized how
hard it was going to be to let him go.
There was a gorgeous changing table and matching dresser and the room even had a walk in closet.
She didn t understand the need for a walk-in closet in a baby room but she was sure he d want to fill
the shelves full. He d definitely be the type of guy to spoil his daughter. Even when they were no
longer together, he d pamper and love his daughter. Trinity felt too much pain thinking of them not
being together so she decided not to think about it.
There was an incredibly inviting rocking chair, not far from the crib. She walked over and sat down
and sighed as she sunk down deep into it. It was luxurious and glided smoothly and silently back and
forth. She could feel the heaviness of her eyes, as she rocked lightly and looked over the room.
He pushed a button and a step came up to cushion her swollen feet and the back laid down slightly.
She could feel herself drifting off to sleep and decided not to fight it. She was tired from the busy day.
She had a feeling she d sleep often in the wonderful chair.
Drew watched Trinity, as she closed her eyes and drifted into sleep. She was so unbelievably
beautiful it was hard for him to take his eyes off her. He knew they still had a ways to go but he also
knew he couldn t give her up. They were a family and he d do anything to keep them together.
She d come to realize how important it was for them to stay together. He d bought her the home and
as she decorated it and settled in more, he knew she wouldn t want to leave. It was really hard for
him not to demand she bend to his will but he d figured out quickly that didn t work so well with her.
It was much better for him to coerce her than to force. He d just make her life too appealing for her to
want to leave.
He knew his largest hurdle was convincing her he was nothing like the business men she d dated in
the past. He d lied to her in the beginning but she had to realize why. Maybe she d trust him more
when she realized he d put the house in her name and he wanted nothing more out of her than her love.
He tucked a blanket around her, glad she was resting and went back down the stairs to get things put
away. His cousins would be there anytime to help him. He had a lot to do and wanted the house to be
set up and not full of boxes. The sooner she saw the home as permanent, the better off they d be.
