Chapter 1

'Judas, Whats going on here?' Demelza asked quite shocked as he walked from the front door.

There was a large tin tub standing next to the roaring fire, fresh flowers in a large bunch on the table surronded by little candles, two packages wrapped in brown paper with a dark red ribbon around the both, and the smell that was coming from the next room was delicious. She had only been gone an hour or so, and she had come back to this and no one to be seen.

'Ross? Prudi? Jud?' she cried, she heard pots and pans being cluncked around in the next room so she went to investigate.

'Ross?' she asked as she walked into the room and saw her doting husband. He turned around at the sound of her voice and she giggled when she saw that flour was all over his face.

'Judas, what have you been up to?' she asked picking up a cloth and walking towards him to wipe his face.

'I thought you would be longer' he said inoccently

'Well Verity had to get back so we cut our trip short, I'm shall we will make up for it next time' she said and smiled

'I'm sure you girls will, How do you feel?' he asked coming closer to her, feeling her small baby bump.

'Tis fine today, I felt unwell this morning but so far nothin' she said smiling

She believed she was about 4 weeks gone but could't be sure, her morning sickness as almost stopped but she still felt queasy during the day from time to time.

'Good, well I thought I would treat you tonight, let you relax a bit, sometime for ourselves' Ross told her and pulled her in for a kiss.

'Why Ross? I'm fine' she said

'Because I love you, thats the only reason I have' he said, he kissed her again an then turned around to tidy his mess.

Demelza looked over Ross's shoulder to see what he was doing

'Are you cooking?' she asked unconvinced

'That I am, I've made dinner' he said whilst putting the pie he had made in the oven

'And you cook?' she asked

'A Little' he replied. He took her hand and lead her into the first room.

'I've drawn you a bath, the water should be hot enough' he said and felt the water to check the temperture. He then picked up some towels he had left on the table and hung them up above the fire keeping them warm.

'Ross? Where Prudie and Jud?' she asked

'Out in the barn, I gave them some brady wine and they promised they would stay out there tonight, it s okay its just us' he said slowly approching his wife.

'Will you get in with me?' she asked when he started to unlace her dress.

'It was meant to be just for you...' but seeing the look in her eyes he nodded

'Okay' he said he finished unlaceing her dress and pulling it off her shoulders, he then unlaced her stays and pulled it off with her underdress, intill she stood naked in front of her.

'God... You are so beautiful, my love' he whispered and brought her into his arms.

She kissed him some more, and brought her hands to his chest, undoing the buttons on his waistcoat. he stepped back to let her take it off, she pulled his braces of his shoulders and undone his breeches, before kneeling down, helping him take his boots off and then his breeches came of swiftly afterwards. he then took his own shirt of and then too stood naked in front of her.

'You are beautiful too Ross' she spoke softly.

Ross smiled and then got into the huge tub. he held out his hand letting Demelza clasp hold of it and helping her step into the tub and sit between his legs. She leant backwards laying her head on his chest and let go.

She sighed out loud

'Nice?' he asked

'Really nice' she whispered and cuddled to her husband.

A little while later Ross leant over to the chair he had placed next to the tub and found the bar of soap. He gently washed Demelzas body intill she took hold of the soap and turned herself around so that she could soap circles on Ross's musclely chest.

After they soaped each other they rinsed each other off and then layed together in silence once more, Demelza humming to herself as she felt Ross's chest and heart , thump, thump, thump beneath her head, He wound his arms around her stomach and felt their growing perfection undeneath. They lay there intill the water started to turn cold.

'Come on, the water is becoming cold' he whispered as she got up on her knees. Ross manuvered himself around her so he could get out of the tub first. He lifted a towel that was on the rail behind him and dried himself off, slipping back into his breeches, boots and linin shirt. He then reached over and picked up the other towel, whilst helping Demelza to stand in the tub, he dried her off himself before wrapping the towel around her body and lifting her out of it. She stood in the middle of the room just looking at Ross, 'Wait here for a moment' he said and ran up the stairs. Moments later he returned with a fresh linin shirt for her, one of his which was more like a dress for her.

'What should we do with the water?' she asked looking back over to the tub.

'Leave it, I'll deal with it later' he said and guided her over to the table.

'Sit, I'll get dinner' He told her, and gave her one of his cute smiles before leaving the room.
