I mean, fuck, think about why she'd be worried, okay?
Technically, I'm still fucking married to her mother, right? Can you imagine the headlines? King of Wall Street Impregnates Stepdaughter?
But fuck the world.
She may be worried, but I'm stunned.
With fucking happiness.
I grab hold of her and without saying anything pull her close to me and kiss her. Hard.
"We're pregnant?" I ask. "We're fucking pregnant?"
"Well, I am," she says, rolling her eyes and sticking her tongue out at me.
"Fucking brat," I say smiling.
"Your wicked lil' brat, Daddy," she says, bringing our bedroom play out into the sunshine. "Always yours. Are you upset?"
Why the fuck would I be upset? I hold her close to me and show her how not upset I am.
"With everything you're going through right now, I didn't know," she says in between kisses.
Here is where I pull back.
"We're going to be okay," I tell her.
She nods thoughtfully, both of our minds all of a sudden drifting off to work.
"If only there was a way to show that Mom knows that Red Lion Aviation is a shady company..." Becca trails off.
But I've already been thinking about this. Sure, I may have looked like I gave up and chose Becca last night.
But you know I'm Mason fucking Kane. King of fucking Wall Street. I don't give up that fucking easily, Gorgeous.
"What were you coming to tell me the other day at dinner?" I ask Becca softly. "Was it just to tell me about the baby?"
Becca shakes her head. "I had more research I had done," she says. "I think it could help if we looked into it."
That's what I thought. Baby girl is thorough and meticulous.
"Email me that research," I tell her. "If it's like the last thing you found, I think we can begin to start connecting the dots."
She nods thoughtfully. "You mean from the employee records?"
I nod to her.
You remember what I'm talking about, Gorgeous? Remember Becca found something on the employee records that Red Lion Aviation had to file with the government and showed me?
I hadn't told you what that was yet right?
Well, don't worry. You'll find out soon enough.
“Is everything going to be okay?” Becca asks me, her eyes wide. “You know, with the way you left Mom?”
I shrug. “Lorna is most likely going to get her people to call a Non Confidence vote from the Board to throw me out,” I say calmly. “Say that with not investing in Red Lion and my outside antics I’m not fit to lead the firm.”
She looks at me and I can see her beginning to wonder if this is because of her.
“I have some tricks up my sleeve though, just in case,” I tell her. “Just get me the data, and if there’s a Board Meeting, make sure you make sure to be there.”
“Where will you be?” she asks me.
“I might be out finding the smoking gun,” I reply. Then I give her a grin. “I mean, if all else goes badly, I might just pull a Sawyer and leave New York and go to the fucking mountains.”
Becca looks at me. “Sawyer?” she asks me.
“The Woodsman?” I ask her back. She looks at me blankly.
“Go read Eddie Cleveland, baby girl,” I tell her. “He’s an author and a friend of mine. Good shit.”
Becca has just lifted her head off my chest and is looking at me. I can tell the time for serious talk is over.
"But before I do anything, Mason Kane," she says with a mischievous smile. "I'm simply not going to let another minute pass without me getting a chance to suck that big, beautiful cock of yours."
Yeah, Gorgeous, I don't think I'm going to be talking for a while. But I fucking promise. If what Becca found is important enough, you'll be the first to know.
Becca's head approaches my chest and she starts to kiss her way down.
I feel her body scraping against mine as she lowers herself.
Fuck, it's going to be a good morning.

MarketWatch Journal Flash Update
Breaking news today that has all of Wall Street talking.
Allegations surfaced today of sexual impropriety on the part of Mason Kane, the beleaguered CEO of the embattled investment bank Kane Price. Amidst the allegations, the Board of Directors of Kane Price formally declared to hold a vote of No Confidence in Mason Kane, the founder and CEO of Kane Price.
Kane Price shares tumbled in intraday trading, dropping as low as 30% before finishing the day lower 25%. Prices of a single share of Kane Price were at their 52-week low of the year.
The No Confidence vote came on the heels, and many believe, spurred by a statement from Mr. Kane's current wife. The statement released by Lorna Lowell, the activist shareholder with the largest position in Kane Price after Mr. Kane himself. In the statement that was released to the media as well as posted on her own official site as well as that of her law firm, the recently married wife of the CEO states that she will be seeking an annulment from their marriage, and barring that, a divorce.
