"Oh come on Jackson, please!"
April stood on her tiptoes and kissed him on the cheek.
''No, April, we are NOT getting a pet.''
Jackson thought it was a ridiculous idea, a pet and a baby were two completely different things.
''But it will be like our practice baby...don't you want a practice baby?'' She looked up at him with those eyes he could never resist.
''You can choose what kind of pet we get, I'll even let you name it.'' April purred against his chest.
''What's in it for me?'' he replied, looking at her with darkened eyes.
''Anything you want...'' April looked into his eyes and bit her bottom lip.
''Anything.''
Jackson pondered for a moment or two...maybe this wasn't such a bad idea after all.
''Well in that case... a practice baby it is.'' Jackson put his hands around her waist and lifted her up, as she wrapped her legs around his body and he took her to the bedroom. He made sure not to knock her against the wall, even though that was his plan for later.
The next morning April woke up quite feeling quite refreshed, which she was slightly puzzled about as herself and Jackson had made love most of the night and into the early morning.
''Morning sleepy head.'' she whispered to a half awake Jackson.
''Mm..morning babe.'' he answered sleepily.
''You hungry?''
''I'm famished..you tired me out last night." he said winking at her.
''Oh I tired YOU out, did I?'' she said with a giggle.
April got out of bed and headed towards the kitchen. It was a lovely sunny day which pleased her very much.
''Is French toast ok babe?'' she shouted to Jackson, who was in their en suite bathroom.
He popped his head out and replied ''Yeah, that would be perfect.''
As she made the french toast she decided to bring up the pet talk again. She didn't think he had forgotten, but she wanted to make sure.
''Shall we go to the animal rescue shelter and choose our practice baby then?'' she asked with a smile.
Jackson looked confused for a moment and then he remembered their conversation from the previous night.
''Oh yeah, that...So you were serious about that then?'' he asked.
''Of course I was, I think it would be a good idea. After all we have never had anything to look after before, and when the baby comes it will all be new territory to us.'' she replied.
''What kind of pet were you thinking of?'' Jackson asked as he took both of their plates and put them in the dishwasher.
''Oh, I don't know. A cat? Or..or a dog!'' she said excitedly.
''Come on then, lets get dressed and head to the shelter.'' he said with a smile.
Jackson put his arm around April and led her to the bedroom.
''But before we go.'' he said with a mischievous smile.
''Fancy another round?'' he asked cheekily.
''When do I ever say no to some Jackson action?'' she replied with a giggle.
