Just With You

“Enough, enough!” he exclaimed. “You’re going to wear me right out woman!”
“Oh, I think you can handle it,” she commented. They had spent the previous night making love on this very bed and she hated the thought of having it end.
“We need to get ready for work,” he protested, deftly rolling onto his side so he could avoid her charms.
“Okay, fine!” Grace laughed. “You win!”
“Believe me, I would rather lose,” he reassured her with a wink. He propped himself up next to her and reached for her mug.
“Here is your drink Madam,” he said as he passed her the drink. “I’ve been meaning to ask why you have suddenly had a taste for herbal tea?”
“It’s not so much that I have a taste for it,” she answered slowly, lowering her eyes to blow on the tea.
“What do you mean?” He asked, a confused look crossing his face. “Why are you drinking it if you don’t like it.”
“I thought it was best to start watching what I eat and drink now,” She responded, still not making eye contact.
Morgan looked at her closely, trying to figure out what the coy look on her face meant. Finally, she raised her gaze and looked him in the eye.
“It’s best for the baby that I cut down on caffeine,” she whispered.
“Baby?” he looked stunned. “Baby?”
“Yes, baby,” she responded uncertainly.
“But.. but.. when? How?” he asked.
She responded by simply laughing at his absurd questions. But then she went quiet.
“I know this is sudden and I know we haven’t really talked about it, but I was hoping you would be happy,” she said.
“Happy?” he answered. “Happy? Are you kidding me?” his voice was beginning to raise and her stomach began to sink. She had been so foolish to think that a baby, even if they hadn’t planned it, would be welcome.
“I’m not happy,” he continued. “I’m ecstatic!”
He took the mug out of her hands and pulled her close to him. He reached down and rubbed her stomach tenderly.
“There’s nothing more I would like than for you to have my baby.” His words reassured her and when he began to kiss her gently, as though she was a piece of delicate crystal, she knew that he truly meant it. As his kiss deepened, she forced herself to pull away.
“I thought we had to get ready for work?” she reminded him.
“Work can wait,” he answered.
