Carmen's eyes bulged out as she listened to what Ella had just said. "You're WHAT? For how long? How could you have hid it for so long?"

Ella calmly replied. "I'm married and one month. Because I didn't blab it to people I didn't trust."

"To that Benj-a-hole?" she harshly sneered.

"Be-n-ji. Say it with me, Ben-ji. Benji. It's like Ben with a g. It's not that hard and yes, I am married to that Benji." Ella grinned as Laura tried to stifle her laughter.

Carmen shot them a glare. "I thought you two were done."

Ella shrugged. "I guess we weren't."

"But he humiliated you by cheating on you. The proofs were on magazine that everyone saw."

"Yes, I know because I saw it."

Laura interrupted. "Oh, by the way, Carmen, your friend, Alex called. He said that if you wanted more pictures of Benji and that girl for your new plan, he wants 100 grand."

Carmen eyes widened. "W-what are you talking about?"

Ella just sat there with an amused expression as Carmen tried to regain her composure. "Don't worry about it, Car, your friend gladly explained everything to us. He has such a kind heart, doesn't he, Laura?"

Laura smiled and nodded her head. "Oh, yes, Ella. Such a nice gentleman."

"Well, I better go, I'm sure you have some packing and explaining to do, Carmen." Ella stood from her seat.

Carmen blinked in confusion. "What do you mean?"

"Didn't you get the memo? You're fired." Ella giggled. "Silly Laura, did you forget to give Carmen her memos?"

Laura playfully slapped her forehead. "Oops, sorry, Carmen."

Ella walked to the door and opened it, revealing an elderly man in a black business suit. "Daniel, how have you been? How's Sarah and the kids?" she kissed him on the cheek.

"Good, and you? Congratulations on the marriage. Very 60's, don't you think? Eloping?" he humored, walking inside the office.

"I'm good and thank you for the beautiful flowers. And I don't think eloping is 60's, more like spur of the moment." Ella smiled. "But you'll defiantly be at the 'real wedding'?"

Daniel nodded. "Of course." He turned away from Ella and looked at Carmen, who was trembling in her seat.

"Well, I'll see you later, Daniel. We'll have do lunch with Sarah and the kids sometime and you can meet Benji."

"Yes. Lunch, call me sometime, darling."

Ella smiled as she and Laura walked out of Carmen's office and closed the door.

Laura busted out laughing. "Did you see the look on Carmen's face when Daniel walked in?" she wiped away her laughing tears. "Classic."

Ella grinned and glanced at her watch. "Let's go get dinner, I'm hungry."

"I would love to, but I got a date." Laura wiggled her eyebrows.

"Ouch, jealous. Rather eat with a hot guy then with me, I see."

"Yeah, you're hot, but just not my type." Laura joked.

Ella laughed. "Alright next time and I expect to hear all the details." She playfully ordered.

"Yes, sir, I mean, dudette." Laura saluted.

Ella nodded, waving good-bye and walked to her car, driving to her husband.

"Hey babe." Benji quickly peck Ella's cheek and played with a couple of controls on the recording board. "Just came from Carmen's office?"

Ella nodded. "Yeah, had a great surprise for her."

"I bet you did." He chuckled and swung his chair around to face Ella. He patted his lap and Ella sat down, her legs flung over the armrests, one arm wrapped around her waist and the other intertwined with hers.

"How's the recording going, darling?" she tried to rhyme.

Benji softly laughed and nuzzled his face into her neck. "Too much 'ing' in that sentence, but it's going great. Just need to finish up on Billy's part and we can get out of here."

"I don't mind staying here. I like watching you work, it turns me on." She seductively said.

Benji raised his head from her neck, eyebrows raised and a goofy grin displayed. "Yeah?"

Ella smiled, leaning closer to his lips, barely touching them. They tickled his as she whispered, "Yeah." She tilted her head to the side and captured his lips. They gently opened their mouths, letting the other slip in their tongues.

"EWW! NO PORNO IN THE STUDIO!!" a shriek came in front.

Benji and Ella jumped away from their kiss to see Benji's friend, Tony, smirking.

"Sorry, guys, was I ruining a moment?" Tony innocently asked. "A moment that was probably leading up to sex, ehh?"

Ella shook her head in disgust. "No, we're all not perverted like you and sick-minded."

"Can't help it if I was born like that." Tony shrugged and walked away, leaving the couple alone.

Benji sighed and leaned his forehead against Ella's shoulder. She patted his on the head and grabbed his hand and placed it onto her stomach. "I love you, daddy." She whispered.

He shot his head up and stared at her in disbelief. "What?"

"Daddy, I love you." She grinned as Benji started to chuckle.

"Really? You're pregnant? With our baby?"

She rolled her eyes. "No with Tony's baby. Of course, your baby."

Benji enwrapped her into a tightening hug. "I love you so much."

Ella smiled against his shoulder. "I love you too."

He released her and looked at into her eyes. "I'm going to be a dad! A DAD!" he glee excitedly.

"I know, baby, I know."

He leaned his head closer and passionately kissed her lips. Deep inside, he knew everything was going to okay. What was a little baby going to do? Maybe cause less sleep and lots of stinky diapers, but that was going to be nothing compared to all the hard times they went through.

Perhaps that was just a little piece of the big unsolved puzzle they were yet to complete.
