Jess frowned.
Sam hadn't talked about his family much, but from what he did say about them she could tell they were an odd family. Showing up, getting into a fight with your brother, and then leaving for a hunting trip in the middle of the night certainly counted as odd.
Jess had tried to go back to sleep after Sam had left, but the bed felt so empty without him, it simply didn't feel right. After an hour she gave up, and decided to make her a cup of tea, something that had always helped her fall asleep.
The tea was made in short order, and she sat down at the table, the mug of tea in front of her.
Absentmindedly, her hand moved to rest on her stomach.
All the websites and books said she'd feel different, she'd have a glow, morning sickness and cramps and so on, although none of that had happened yet. She had only found out a few days ago, so it was probably too early for all of that, she thought.
She wished Sam hadn't left, her plans were to take him out to dinner the next day and tell him the news then.
Oh well, she thought as she reached out and wrapped her fingers around the mug and took a sip, I'll just tell him about the baby when he comes home.
Jess smiled, picturing Sam's reaction.
