Just a little one shot. I happened to notice that it's Mother's day in the U.S today so couldn't resist this little drabble.
Happy Mother's day to all the mummy's out there.
Catherine came awake slowly. Rolling over to look towards Steve's side of the bed only to discover that he'd already risen. She flung the covers back and swinging her legs out of bed made her way to the bathroom to empty her bladder and shower.
She turned on the shower before stripping out of her shorts and tank top and stepping under the warm spray. She quickly washed her hair and showered. Stepping out of the stall a few minutes later and grabbing for a towel of the rail to dry her hair, before grabbing a second one to dry her body. After hanging the towel back on the rail she left the bathroom heading back into the bedroom just as Steve opened the door balancing a tray in his hands.
"I was bringing you breakfast in bed." He said from the door way as he relised she was already up.
"Pancakes?" She asked as she caught a whiff of what Steve was carrying on the tray.
"Of course." He confirmed.
"Well in that case." She said as she moved back towards the bed and slid under the covers, pulling the sheet up to cover her as she sat up in bed.
Steve grinned at her, as he stepped into the bedroom closing the door with his foot as he moved towards the bed. He placed the tray across her lap before leaning down to brush a kiss across her lips. He moved around to his own side of the bed and slid under the covers joining her in bed.
"Ok, Steve, what's the occasion?" She asked as she took in the single rose, the card and small wrapped package on the tray.
"Open the card first." He told her as he picked it up of the tray and handed it to her.
She read her name in Steve's distinct handwriting. She looked up at him only to see him grinning at her as she slid her finger under the flap and opened the envelope. She gasped as she pulled the card from the envelope. The words 'Happy Mother's day' catching her attention before she opened it.
To Mummy
Happy Mothers Day
Love from your little guy.
Catherine turned her head to look at Steve as he handedd her the small package to open. She ripped the wrapping of it to reveal a small jewelers box. She flipped the lid open to reveal a pretty gold heart shaped locket engraved with her intials.
"Open the locket." He urged her as he watched her face.
Catherine pulled the locket from the velvet case and gently opened the clasp. She gasped as she saw the two photos inside. Steve had placed a tiny photo of their unborn son in one half of the locket and a photo of them from their wedding in the other half.
"Do you like it?" He asked her a little uncertainly.
"I love it." She told him, as she leaned towards him to kiss his mouth. "Thank you." She whispered against his lips.
"Happy Mother's Day Catherine." He said with a grin.
"You're so sweet." She told him playfully as he groaned in responce.
"Eat your brekfast woman." He growled playfully with a silly grin on his face.
...
The end.
