"Oh, god, Oh god." She murmured reaching a point of ecstasy

"Do you want me to stop?"

She covered his mouth hungrily with hers, "No, I don't want to stop, Lou...Lou...Lou"

Mary tossed and turned in bed then sat up with a start, "No!" She called out waking her husband

Dan sat up next to her, "Sweetheart, what is it?" He put his arm around her

Her breathing was shallow, "I had the craziest dream."

He laid back down pulling her into his arms, "You want to tell me about it." He rubbed her back. It wasn't the first strange dream she'd had lately

She rested her head on his chest, "It was so weird. I don't even think I can tell you."

"Oh, come on. It can't be that bad." He assured her, "Hey, you're shaking."

"It really bothered me." She told him

"It's not good for you or the baby for you to get that upset." He reached down and slid his hand over her rounded abdomen, "Now tell me about it."

She buried her face in his shoulder, "I had sex with Lou Grant!" She cried

Dan laughed, "What?"

She pulled back and looked at him, "In my dream, I had sex with Mr. Grant." She explained, "I had sex with all of them."

"All of who?" He asked stroking her hair

"All the guys at the station." She said, "I just kept going from one guy to the next. It was horrible."

Dan couldn't help but find it funny, "Honey, it was just a dream."

She pulled away from him and sat up against her pillows, "Yeah well if you had been there it would have freaked you out too."

He sat up next to her and put his arm around her again, "It's just the hormones." He said reassuringly, "Just try to calm down."

She started to cry again and smacked him on the arm, "Don't tell me to calm down!" She wailed, "You don't have the image of Ted Baxter naked etched in your brain."

"Ouch." he muttered rubbing his arm, "Since when do you have such a good right hook?"

She wiped her eyes, "Since you've been acting like a jerk." She told him, "Jerk."

He was slowly getting used to her hormonal rantings but the baby wasn't due for four months. He didn't know if he could handle it that long, "I'm just trying to help you calm down and get back to sleep. Why don't I fix you some warm milk?"

She smacked him again, "Idiot, you know I don't like warm milk."

"You know, you're wasting your talent as a news producer. You should be in the ring with Muhammad Ali." He rubbed his arm again

Mary looked at him and began to laugh, "Oh, sweetheart, I'm sorry. That dream just really freaked me out."

"It must have." He agreed, "So the whole thing was you having sex with every guy at work, huh?" As he thought about it some more, maybe this wasn't so funny

"Yeah, one right after the other." She said, "It was like an assembly line for orgies."

"Well, the doctor did say hormones can do strange things." He reminded her

"I know but I never thought I would be having dreams like this. I thought I'd cry a lot, maybe yell at you for no reason but this...oh boy." She shook her head

He put his arm around her again, "So Ted Baxter naked huh?"

"Don't remind me." She said, "Now I have to go to work and look at all these guys and NOT think about seeing them naked."

"Usually to calm your nerves you picture people naked." He pointed out, "I wonder if the opposite works." He pulled her into his arms

She rested her on his chest again, "Jerk."
