The Baby Contract ((The women of Landry's Landing and the Fabrizio men)) by Shelli Quinn Page A

work well together in the lab but outside the lab we…we…I don’t know it’s just different that’s all.”
    Gigi smiled at Indy. “Do you think that you two bicker so much because there’s a lot of sexual tension between you, if it is maybe you two should just go ahead and have sex, it might help.”
    Indy stared at her like she’d just lost her mind. “Are you crazy? Look here little girl first of all you need to stop trying to talk me into having sex with Gio, second you need to mind your own business you let me worry about the tension between me and Gio. Now I’m going to take as shower and get dressed.” Indy stood and headed for the door.
    “I’m sorry Indy please don’t be mad with me, I just want you to be happy that’s all.” Gigi said sounding very apologetic.
    Indy stopped with her hand on the knob of the door she turned to gaze over her shoulder at Gigi. “I know Gigi but let me handle Gio my way alright. And by the way as long as my family is happy then I’m happy, now stop worrying it’s not good for the baby.”
    Indy left the room closing the door softly behind.
    Gigi sat there staring at the door long after Indy had walked through it. How could Indy think that she wouldn’t worry about her happiness, did she think she was the only one allowed to worry. For as long as she could remember Indy had stepped up to take care of the three of them. Even before the death of their grandparents she would help out whenever she was needed.
    She couldn’t remember her ever having a steady boyfriend, she’d gone out a couple of times but nothing serious came to mind. Indy had sacrificed a lot to make sure that the three of them could have a life. Although they’d all pitched in around the Inn learning how to run the place that would one day be theirs, it was India who’d put in long hours working into the night.
    When Indy found out about how that two-timing snake in the grass had tricked her out of their savings she didn’t ridicule her or disown her. After they’d filed a police report and nothing was done about the situation, Indy promised to help her fix it and she did when they tracked down that scum sucking bottom feeder it was Indy that took a bat to his face when he refused to give back their money. Even though they didn’t get all their money back they took back what was left, leaving him and his little crack head girlfriend dead broke not to mention the broken nose and busted lip she’d given him.
    Not only then but there was many times when Indy came to their rescue, getting them out of some kind of trouble. She’d always put their needs before her own, her love for them knew no bounds. They’d all put her through so much and it was time that she put herself first for a change.
    Gigi was snapped out of her thought by her phone ringing. Pushing herself to her feet she went to answer the phone.
    “Hello.”
    “Hello Caro, are you awake?” Pierce asked.
    Gigi smiled loving the sound of his sexy voice. “Yes sunshine I’m awake. Where are you? Will you be back soon? I can’t wait to see you.”
    “Well what are you waiting for I’m downstairs in the private dining room. And I can’t wait to see you either. Be careful coming down those stairs, Caro.” He said seriously.
    “Yes I will. I’ll be right down.” She replied as she ended the call.
     
     
    Pierce placed his phone in the pocket of his jacket, having called Gio when they’d pulled onto the property. Turning to his brothers he smiled.
    “Gigi will be down shortly.” He said as he saw Gio entering the dining room. The four brothers greeted each other with brotherly embraces and back slaps. “How did things go while I was gone is everything still on track?” Pierce asked Gio after greeting each other,
    “Yes everything is on track, the builders are working triple time to complete the first house and the others shouldn’t take long after that. The plans for the renovation are in the works and preliminary draws
