So so this is a little something I thought up. I hope you like it. All reviews are happily accepted. Stay tuned for the next update! :)
Amanda's pov
I smell the salty see breeze and feel the wind in my hair as I lay in my bed located in my childhood beach house. I turn over too see Jack wide awake and watching me sleep. I'll never tier of waking up next to him.
"Good morning my beautiful wife," she smiles. He leans down and give me a kiss, which I happily accept.
"I'll never tire of hearing those words, 'my beautiful wife.' So good morning my handsome husband," I smile. He smile back to me and we kiss one more time. "How long have you been awake for and watching me sleep?" I ask.
"Carl woke me up 30 minutes ago," he says.
"He usually wakes me up, why didn't I wake up?" I ask.
"You've been exhausted lately, you needed too sleep," he says Wisely.
"I have been exhausted lately, I don't know why. I don't usually tire this easily," I say puzzled.
"You've been going at everything at full pace and you haven't been slowing down. How long did you think you'd last before it all caught up to you? I know you like to think you're superwoman, but you're not," Jack says.
"Well, I thought a little longer then two weeks. I went full force on my revenge mission for four years without ever feeling this worn out," I say.
"Well, that is a mystery in our beautiful life together," he says. I look at him unconvinced by his explanation. "I think it's you're body's way of telling you to slow down after four full on years," he adds. I smile back to him. I think he's right. Maybe everything I had endured in the past four years was finally catching up to me. Maybe it was time to slow down and live a more relaxed life. Maybe it was time for me to live to suburban life. But that is going to be one change that's going to be very tough to get used to. I never pictured myself in that life but who knows?
"Maybe you're right. Maybe it's time I slow down," I say. Jack gets up from the bed and so do I we move to the end of the bed and we hug. "I'm going to get Carl ready for the day," I say. He nods his head.
"I'll take a shower and get ready for work," he says. Jack had re- joined the police force. I work part time at an event planning company planning beneficial events for charity's.
I walked the door and grab my robe off the back of it and put it on, "Who would of thought hey?" I ask him.
"Who would of thought what?" He asks stoping in his steps.
"Me and you, having a normal life together, having this life with Carl," I say happily.
"But yet here we are, and I'm loving every second of it," he says smiling to me.
"Me too," I reply back over the moon and I continue out of the room. I walk down the hall and down to Carl's bedroom. His room was so cute and he had a race car bed. I open the door slowly, trying not to make a noise so I don't startle him and so I could watch him play for a few minutes. I loved watching him play, the innocence was so liberating, but the creek of the door makes him jump around. I stand at the door and his eyes grow wide as he sees me standing at the door. He jumps up and rushes over to me.
"Mandy Pandy!" He exclaims. I giggle and bend down and he rushes in to my arms. I love the nickname he's given me, it's so cute. It makes me feel happy.
"Hey Carl, buddy," I say happily as we hug.
"Where daddy?" He asks curiously.
"Daddy's in the shower," I say. He nods his head, accepting the fact that I just gave him.
"Are you hungry?" I ask him.
"Yeah, but play first," he says. He was playing with his race cars. He loved race cars, that's all he'd ever play with.
"Alright, we can play for five minutes and then we batter have some breakfast," I say. He nods his head and I put him down so we can play with his cars.
Scene break
I hold Carl's hand as we walk down the hallway to get some breakfast. "Daddy!" He exclaims as he spots his father coming out of our room and he lets go of my handled runs over to him.
"Carl!" He says scooping him up into his arms.
"You were quick," I state to him.
"Well what can I say," he replies.
"You're wet," Carl States.
"That's because daddy saves time in the shower but not drying himself," I say. Carl laughs.
"Haha," Jack states. I smile back to him.
"We're going downstairs to have some breakfast. Would you like to join us?" I ask.
"Always," he says. He puts Carl down on the floor and we each hold one of his hands and we walk down the stairs as a family.
"How do eggs sound?" I ask as I pull a frying pan from the top shelf.
"yummy!" Carl says happily.
"Well you heard the boy," Jack laughs. I laugh and I grab out some eggs and milk from the fridge and make up the scrambled eggs. I start to cook the eggs but the smell makes me gag. I place my hand on my stomach as it churns.
"Are you alright Amanda?" Jack asks. I nod my head weekly but I can't hold it in any longer. I cover my mouth and I bolt down to the main bathroom. I learn forward into the toilet and I throw up. This is so not like me. I throw up a couple of times before going to the sink and washing over my face. As I look into the mirrored cabinet I begin to think. I open up the left side of the cabinet an the Instant I look inside I see a pregnancy test. I know it's impossible but I can't help but think 'what if?' What if I could get pregnant? I've always kept a test inside the house, Daniel and I were always very careful, but I had one just in case. I didn't want to be spotted buying one and then the press getting hold of the info. I take the pregnancy test out of the cabinet and I look at it.
