Sometimes it doesn't seem real at all even though I know it must because here I am, here I lay beside my beautiful wife Sha're who sleeps peacefully by my side as the night continues to be upon us. I smile as I think how lucky I am to have been able to meet her and even luckier to have her as my wife. No other man could touch her but myself, the could not own her heart like I did just like she owned mine. Tenderly I run my hand along the side of her naked bronze colored skin as she sleeps, my hand travelling over her hip as it stops at her thigh and gently strokes it as I see her breathing quicken from my touch.

A smile is on her lips and I now know she is no longer asleep. Shifting my own naked body closer to hers I continue to caress her thigh and then slowly run it back to her shoulders were I massage them with affection and gentleness. At this my wife's dark chocolate eyes open and stare at me with love as I touch the side of her face softly before kissing her with my lips and savouring the taste of her as she opens her mouth and allows me access with my tongue as I deepen the kiss and place my arm around her slender waist and pull her closer to my already aroused body.

Sha're lets out a giggle of delight and it is then that I realise just how much I love the sound of her voice not only that but the way she laughs when she is happy for when she is happy so am I.

I smile back at her as I place a trail of kisses down her neck and she moans breathlessly as she turns over onto her back to allow me to obtain better access to her exceptional body. With this I kiss down her throat and down over her full round breasts that are heaving from my touch, my fingers slightly graze over her erected nipples as I continue my journey to her large round stomach that carries our child.

Our child.

It sounds strange to my ears to think that I have become a father that I a simple man has created such a joyous gift within my wife. Smiling down at the bump in her stomach I place my hands gently on it and smile even brighter as I feel our child moving within her, I feel it kick not once but twice as it is telling the world that it is there and wants everyone to know. Placing a tender kiss on her stomach I feel him or her settle down and give Sha're a break from it's constant movement for the time being.

Looking back up at my wife I smile as I take her hand in mine and stroke it slowly and attentively, we need no words spoken between us as we are well aware what the other is thinking by the look in our eyes. Our eyes say that we are glad we found each other, glad that I was sent through the Stargate and found her, someone who made me love again.

For hours we remain like that just simply enjoying each others simple touches and caresses as we stare lovingly into each others eyes until I take her once again into my arms and make tender love to my wife all through the night until the morning sun is upon us. As I lay beside her now and watch her sleep tired from our love making I smile at thinking just how simply blessed I am.
