I Dream of Jeannie
"Always Be My First Love"
With her beloved Anthony going on another mission, Jeannie is up at night worrying again, but that's not the only thing on her mind.
CHAPTER 1
Cocoa Beach, FL
Nelson House
(Jeannie and Tony have been married almost a year)
Master Bedroom
The room is dark and we see Tony sleeping in bed but Jeannie's left side of the bed is empty.
Tony Nelson awoke and opened his eyes to see nothing but a dark room. He turned and looked at the red glow on the clock that read 2:30 a.m. He sighed and turned on his other side. He went to drape his arm over his wife but found nothing but cool, empty sheets. Realizing Jeannie wasn't in bed, he sat up and looked towards the bathroom door to see if there was a glow of light coming from underneath but there wasn't. He got up, put on his robe, and walked out.
Foyer
Tony was on his way through the livingroom, when he stopped short and looked up towards the den where he noticed a slight glow of light coming from underneath the door. He wondered what the heck she was doing up there at this time of night. He walked up the stairs, crossed the hall to the den, and opened the door. Inside, he found Jeannie wearing her silk, pink robe, bent over looking through the telescope up at the stars and moon. He shook his head wondering why she was doing that at 2:30 in the morning, but also couldn't help but smile at her at the same time.
Tony quietly snuck up behind Jeannie and slipped his arms around her waist.
Tony: What are you doing?
Jeannie jumped, yelped, and blinked making her disapper into thin air with the "blink sound." As she did this, his hands clapped together and he looked around surprised but then started laughing, realizing he scared her to death.
Tony: Uh--Darling.
Jeannie popped back in, behind him, and pushed him a bit, annoyed.
Jeannie: Do no do that!
He chuckled and turned around grabbing her and pulling her close.
Tony: I'm sorry, Sweetheart. I didn't meant to frighten you.
She sighed and nodded.
Tony: What are you doing up here in the middle of the night?
Jeannie: Thinking.
Tony: "Thinking?"
Jeannie: Yes.
Tony: What were you doing looking at the sky?
Jeannie: Well, that is what I was thinking about.
Tony: The sky?
Jeannie left his embrace and walked back to the window where she looked up at the night sky filled with bright stars and a glowing moon. Tony walked behind her and wrapped her up in his arms resting his chin on her shoulder.
Jeannie: I was thinking of the sky, the stars, the moon. (Sad) That is where you will be tomorrow. I could not sleep because...
Tony: (giggle) Jeannie, you always worry before I go on a launch. I wish you wouldn't worry so much. It causes you to have insomnia.
She shrugs and nods.
Jeannie: Part of me hates that you are gone on these missions, but I do know how much they make you happy and to see you happy makes me happy, of course.
Tony: I hate being away from you too, Darling but you're right going on missions does make me happy.
Jeannie looks back up at the stars and the moon. Tony keeps his eyes on her.
Jeannie: That means the world to you, does it not?
She points towards the sky. Tony looks up at it.
Tony: Yes it does. Being an astraunut and going up there means the world to me.
She smiles a bit and nods.
Tony: I really do love it, but--
He turns her around to face him and holds her close, looking deep into those baby blue eyes of hers that he always gets lost in, especially when they are together as man and wife wrapped up in the throw's of passion.
Tony: --but you...will always be my first love.
They shared a loving glance and then he gently kissed her.
Jeannie: Promise me you will make it back safe.
Tony: (laugh) Jeannie, you always ask me this before...
Jeannie: (seriously) Anthony, please. Promise me.
Tony: (giggle) I promise.
She looks down. He sees her seriousness and then takes her jaw in his hand and lifts her face gently to look at his.
Tony: (serious) I promise.
She nods and smiles and he kisses her again. She wraps her arms around his neck and kisses him back. They share another after that, before it melts into a passionate kiss. When they break, Jeannie rests her forehead on his and runs her hands down his chest.
Jeannie: I always miss that when you are away...and other things.
Tony: Met, too Darling. Me, too. I'm always thinking of you when I'm up there.
Jeannie: (big smile) Are you really?
Tony: Yes, considering you don't "pop in" anymore.
Jeannie: (gasp) Could I?!
Tony: No.
She sulks.
Tony: I will only be gone three days, but atleast you will have Amanda Bellows and Roger's girlfriend, Alison to keep you company during that time. You three are always shopping and going to the movies. You will have fun.
Jeannie smiles and turns around away from him.
Jeannie: And I will have another one to keep me company as well, Master.
Tony: (interested) Oh, who? A new friend?
Jeannie smiles and bites her lip.
Jeannie: No. Our baby.
She turns around to him and puts her hands on her belly.
Tony: (thinking she said someone's name ) Oh? Did you meet...
He stops when he realizes what he heard. His eyes widen and he looks at her wondering if he heard right. His eyes look at her belly and dart back to her face as if asking, "Did you really just say we're having a baby?" She saw this expression and nodded.
