Flames Of Passion In Los Angeles

*James POV*

Both Ana and I reach the door of the small medical clinic, I immediately open the door for her and receive a look of ridiculousness from her.

"Thank you very much. I know I am pregnant, but I can open the door on my own.".

I smile at her words.

"You don't appreciate my cavalier actions?".

"I never said that. You are an absolute gentleman, but I think I am well able to open the door on my own.".

I wrap my hand around her body, pulling her closer to me.

"But you are pregnant.".

"So?" she says through her smile.

I reply by picking her up and into my hands.

"James!..." she squirms, wrapping her hands around my neck. I chuckle at her reaction.

"You like doing this to me, don't you?" she adds and I just smile at her words.

"I'll take that as a yes..." she adds.

"I can't let you strain yourself for no reason," I say.

She laughs at my words.

"What's so funny, Miss Lazarevic?".

She immediately quietens. Something else that makes my smile broaden.

Moments pass before I reach my car. I open the passenger door, slowly landing her onto her feet, letting her enter the car.

Making my way around the car, I sit into the driver's seat.

I fetch my keys out of one of my pockets from my jeans, before pushing it into the ignition. With a twist, my beauty of a car, powers up and comes back to life.

"Where are we going?" Ana asks me, I can hear the slight hesitation in her voice.

"Home..." I reply. "Why? You want to go somewhere else?..".

I keep my eyes are on her, I look at her, turning her head from looking down at the floor. She looks up at me. She looks into my eyes.

No voices could be heard for a few seconds, right before...

"... What should we tell Liam?... And your other brother, Jason...?".

That through never entered my head, if I was to be honest. What do we tell them?

"I mean, obviously the truth..." I reply. "If we don't, it definitely won't take long for them to realise that you have a baby in your stomach.".

She nods so my words.

"... So I was wondering if you wanted to go up to Liam's so that we can tell him he is going to be the uncle.".

*Ana POV*

I see him nod.

His eyes are still on me. Mine are still looking at him. I can never get enough of his beautiful teal eyes...

"Sure. Do you want to go to his now?".

"Whenever possible, " I reply.

"So now..." she says through a small smile.

I smile back at him, "sure...".

He diverts his eyes up and forward before pushing the gas pedal down and driving off.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Within twenty minutes, we pull up by Liam's house. James powers of his car before we both get out of our seats. I wait for him to lock the car before we both make our way to the main door.

Once we reach the front, James knocks on the door. Moments pass before the door opens, revealing Liam. He smiles at us.

"James? Ana?...". I can't help but curve my lips upwards at his confusion.

"Liam..." James greets his brother, shaking his hand, I do the same.

"Come in, come in!" he says a moment later.

Walking into his warm house, he closes the door behind us.

"Follow me, we are going into the living room.". So both James and I do just that.

We both sit down on one of the two couches in Liam's living room, he serves us some drinks before he sits down too.

"So, what brings you two to this part on LA?". I could see slight unease in his eyes as he transfers his look between me and James.

"Nothing much really, brother. Although we have something to tell you...".

"But before that..." James begins again. "I just want to clear up some things. Anything and everything that has happened between you and Ana is all in the past. I have forgiven Ana and I will forgive you. I can't say I will be this nice if I find out something like this happens again. I mean that to you, Liam.".

I see him nod.

"Thank you..." I hear Liam reply. "It's my fault, I didn't know what I was doing... and I am sorry, James...".

"Okay. I accept your apology.".

Suddenly, Liam's slight frown grows into a smile.

"What was it that you were going to tell me?".

James looks at me as I look at him.

"Ermm... " I begin, at the same time I root for the photograph of the ultrasound, dug somewhere in my pocket. Once I find, I grip it with my fingers, pulling out the black and white card. I briefly look at the picture before handing it over to Liam.

He crosses his eyebrows, examining the ultrasound.

"You are going to become an uncle, Liam," I say softly as I see him confused with what is in front of him.

Moments pass before he slowly diverts his eyes from the card to me before looking at James and then back at me.

"Y-you are pregnant?" He asks.

I nod.

I see his eyes widen before he covers his mouth. He then hugs both James and me.

"Oh my... Congratulations guys!".

"Thank you..." I gently laugh. Seconds pass before Liam moves away from us. He is still in total shock. Suddenly he bolts towards his kitchen, both James and I quickly follow after him.

"Liam?" James calls out.

I see Liam opening the door of his balcony.

"I AM GOING TO BECOME AN UNCLE!!" Is what both James and I hear moments later. Liam's sudden shout causes both James and I to look at each other before we break into laughter.

A couple more seconds pass before we see Liam retreat back inside from his balcony.

"Better now?" James asks him. Liam replies with a nod.

"Yes...".

Both James and I continue to look at Liam. Confused is the best way to describe the look on his face.

"Hey..." Liam's voice catches us off guard. "You guys want another drink?".

"Sure," I hear James reply.

"Ana? You?" Liam questions.

"Ermm..." I begin. "Do you have any soft beverages?".

Liam scrunched up his face, thinking.

"I should..." he says.

"Any soft drink, please, " I say.

"Alright... and for you, James?" He asks.

"You know me, Liam...".

And with a smile, Liam goes to get our drinks.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A few hours pass before James and I leave Liam's house. Entering James car, he powers up the car and we drive off.

"Where are we going now?" I ask, even though I know where we are heading, I still ask him.

"We are heading towards our sweet, sweet home..." he replies.

"Sweet, sweet home..." I repeat.

"Sweet, sweet home..." we both try to vocalize, but end up breaking into laughter.

A gentle sigh marks the end of our laughter, with that, James presses down the gas pedal ever so slightly, now heading through an empty road.

The sun is slowly sinking as we head in the opposite direction of the falling sun. Heading in the direction of our sweet home.
