Harmony
They’d come to the office just after 2pm, when Rachael had dropped that photograph of
herself in the black dress, in the store, that Chloe was seen to be wearing for the New Year’s
Eve party; with Chloe in the background. The press had ducked off to try and get a statement
from Chloe, it seemed about why she was wearing the same dress, and only a few had
remained at the office to snap their picture together.
That article stated that Chloe Silverton was trying to portray herself like Harmony Preston.
That Chloe had on purpose bought and worn the same dress; that she knew Harmony had
bought and would have worn, if she had attended the Blackwell New Year’s Eve party. If
Damien’s cheating ways hadn’t been outed and their breakup had never happened.
It showed the date of purchase of that dress was in early November, which was clearly shown
on the receipt. There was the picture that Harmony had given Rachael of her in the dress in
the store, which showed that Chloe had even been there when Harmony had purchased the
dress.
It also mentioned that Harmony herself still owned the dress, and then a picture of the very
dress in the bag was displayed with the price tag still on it. That she had never worn it. Then
Rachael had written in her words, about how all the dresses she had to wear over the years,
for any formal event, had to be approved by Damien himself. Remarked after her words that Harmony clearly had to be dressed to his liking, and now Chloe was trying to mimic that
herself.
There were comments being made that Chloe was still trying to hurt her emotionally, by Chloe showing she’d gotten not only the man, but the ring as well. That she was still seen to be a
vindictive, spiteful woman.
A mistress who still couldn’t be happy on Damien’s arm, even though she had gotten everything she wanted, and had achieved her goal of stealing Damien Blackwell from Harmony Preston.
The feedback was already coming in. Some thought Chloe was simply bitter because if she’d not gotten pregnant, she’d never have gotten herself attached to Damien at all.
That she was a mere shadow compared to Harmony. If she had any class at all, she’d simply not have gotten involved with a man that had a long–term girlfriend, that he was looking to
marry.

That she was clearly jealous of Harmony, because she couldn’t match her in poise and dignity,
didn’t have the calm, respectful demeanour; that one of a wealthy status should have.
That she still couldn’t let it go, because she was just the sloppy seconds and although had gotten herself the man she wanted, it had been through unscrupulous means. That she was
still out there trying to hurt Harmony, even though Harmony had still yet to say a single harsh
word about Chloe herself.
There was even a comment about why they thought Chloe was like this; hateful towards
Harmony, because although she had gotten Damien. That maybe he didn’t want Chloe and
was now stuck with her.
That he had told her as much, that maybe he blamed Chloe for his and Harmony’s breakup,
and so he was taking it out on Chloe. Therefore, she was unhappy in the relationship she had
wanted, and gotten, because in reality; Damien didn’t want her.
There was no actual response from the Blackwells, or Chloe herself to the new thread. Garrett
had told her that it was in all likelihood that Gregory Blackwell had shut Chloe down herself.
Because she was causing more harm to the company with her comments.
Showing she was just a nasty piece of work, that it was likely had told her that this attitude of hers, that she was displaying towards Harmony herself, was the very reason why she was
never allowed to stand next to Damien in the first place; as his wife. Because she couldn’t hold her own tongue and ignore any unwanted press. Unlike Harmony herself, who had been able
to do so.
So, she’d been silenced by the Blackwells. But he didn’t doubt that she was fuming wherever she was, though he believed she was likely to be inside the Blackwell estate, where Gregory could keep an eye on her, and fully contain her himself.
Harmony sat with Garrett in Dr Kristen’s office that afternoon. She didn’t like people calling her by her last name, and had asked Harmony to just call her Kristen. Then she’d asked her how
she was feeling.
“I’m alright.” Was the simple answer.
“Are you happy about the baby?” Kristen asked in return.
“Yes,” Harmony smiled down at her stomach, and she was, it may have been completely unexpected, but she was happy to become a mother. “I always wanted to be a mum.” She
smiled at Kristen, “though I do have a question.”
“Ask.” Kristen stated.

“I was on birth control and religious about taking it, I had an alarm set every day to remind
- me. So I don’t really understand how this happened. My doctor stated the antibiotics I was on
wouldn’t affect that.”
“They don’t normally, only specific ones for treating things like Legionnaire’s disease or
tuberculosis do that. All others don’t affect birth control. That is a myth, but a long–standing one and hard for people to dismiss. But birth control is not fool–proof, nothing is 100% protection, it still happens all the time. I like to think of it as…it was meant to be.”
“I think it was doc.” Garrett chimed in from next to her, a happy smile on his face. “I also think it’ll bring us closer together, quicker. Which I like, though I would still have asked you out Harmony. It might just have taken a few more days, allowed you to get to know me a bit more, but it was always going to happen.” He told her.
Harmony raised an eyebrow at him, and he chuckled softly “Hmm, how do I explain that… Ah, the moment I saw your name on the list of interviewees you had the job, I wanted you right there where I could see you.” he smiled at her “You can ask Wyatt if you like.”
She shook her head, “It’s fine, everything you’ve done shows your concern and I…” she smiled, but kept that to herself. The man couldn’t keep his hands to himself, kissed the hell out of her every day as well as many other things.
Kristen chuckled herself now, “Very attentive,” she nodded “I’ve never seen Garrett like this, and I’ve known him my entire life… Now, Harmony, let’s get this appointment underway. I need to weigh you, and that is something I will want to keep track of. Garrett has actually stated to me that he thinks you’ve lost weight in the past week.”
“What?” she frowned, looking at Garrett.
“Mm.” he nodded “I can see your lowest rib and I couldn’t do that at Christmas.”
“But I eat plenty.” She sighed, she was naturally thin, and if she got any thinner she’d look
horrid.
“Don’t stress about it, Harmony,” Kristen stated. “It can be completely normal, just your body adjusting to your pregnancy and more nutrients going to the baby is all.”
“Alright.” She nodded.
She let the doctor weigh her and sighed as she looked at it herself. It was a full kilo of weight loss. She looked at Garrett after confirming it was a loss and telling Kristen what she normally
weighed.
“Is this why you made me eat more today?” she asked him.

“Yes.” He nodded.
“I’d like you to eat all meals and have proper nutritional snacks in–between meals, morning
tea, afternoon tea and feel free to eat a bigger serving of dessert as well,” Kristen told her.
“Should we get a sonagram today?” Garrett asked.
“Hmm, I’d say no, it’s a bit early for that, you won’t see anything in four weeks. Garrett, let’s just wait until Harmony is six weeks. That will show the baby’s development properly to me. Right
now, it’s just a tiny speck.”
“When would you normally do them? Sonagrams.” Harmony asked.
“8 to 10 weeks, and 18 to 20 weeks. But that also depends on the mum to be, and what we
see in the first one. Now did Garrett tell you that all of his bloodline have a tendency to come
early?”
“Yes, is that something I should be concerned about?” Harmony asked.
“Not at this stage no, but we’ll keep a close eye on you and your pregnancy as well, just like
his doctor did his mother, for him and all his siblings. So I’ll get you to come back in two
weeks and then every three to four weeks depending on how you feel, just to make sure
everything is alright.”
“Alright.” She nodded. “Why so many, do you think something is wrong?”
“Babies that come early, we call high–risk pregnancies and, so more monitoring is needed is all. But you are healthy and young, so I foresee no issues at this time. Just prudent planning due to his family history. Now are you experiencing anything at all yet?”
“Hmm, I get dizzy sometimes, and occasionally throw up,” she told her.
“She has growing pains,” Garrett commented.
“Ah yes,
that can happen more so with smaller framed women just like Harmony here. A gentle massage to the abdomen and sometimes the lower back will help with that. Now Garrett, I’ll task you to that job.”
He smiled right at her now “I got me a legitimate doctor–approved reason to put my paws on
you.”
Harmony shook her head, even as she heard Kristen laugh, “I don’t think he needs an extra
reason to do that.” Harmony murmured.
“Too late.” Garrett chuckled “Now, doc, I’m gonna want that in writing.”

“If you like,” Kristen nodded.
“Please don’t encourage him,” Harmony stated, and then chuckled herself. At the full pout on Garrett now, she couldn’t help it. The man itched to touch her, it seemed, and she just knew he was going to wave that paper at her and state ‘Doctor’s orders‘ when she tried to shoo him
away.
She watched him snap his fingers at Kristen and saw her laugh once more, and actually write it down for him, put it on a prescription even. Handed it to him, and he smiled at it and then waved it at her. “Can’t escape my paws now.”
