Supportive Husband
"What's wrong Jacks?" Nick asked as he saw the look on her face.
"Oh, I just weighed myself, I've tried to watch what I eat and stuff but I still have about five pounds of baby weight that won't come off." She complained.
Nick looked at her skeptically, he certainly didn't think she needed to lose five pounds.
"I wouldn't worry about it." He said as he came up behind her and lovingly wrapped his arms around her.
"Thank you, I'm not really worried about it, it's just frustrating." She told him with a smile.
Nick thought about the seldom used treadmill and weightlifting machine in their workout room.
"You know hon, if you really want to lose those five pounds I'll work out with you, I'll do my weightlifting machine and you can do the treadmill, it could be fun, and it'd be a great way to spend a little time together after the kids go to sleep at night. Not that I think you need to lose weight but if you want to, I'll workout with you." He told her.
"Thanks Nicky, I'd love that." She responded, appreciating his support.
That night when the kids went to bed Jackie grabbed the baby monitor, a CD so they could listen to music while they worked out, and a bottle of water and Nick also grabbed a bottle of water and then the couple went into their workout room.
Jackie was about half way into her thirty minute walk on the treadmill when Nick came up behind her and grabbed her butt.
"Hey you, get back on your machine, you don't see me taking a break." She scolded him playfully.
He laughed.
"And besides that you're not allowed to touch my behind until I lose the weight." She added.
Nick grinned and got back on his machine.
"Ya done?" Nick asked when a half hour was up.
"Five more minutes." She told him.
The next night Jackie kicked it up a notch and set the treadmill on an incline.
"Is a half hour up yet?" She said breathing heavy.
"We're at 26 minutes." He answered.
She groaned.
"You can do it." He told her encouragingly.
"!0, 9, 8." He said, counting the seconds when a half hour was nearly up. He got to one and she was about to pull the key out of the treadmill and get off.
"Wait, wait, let's do an extra twelve seconds as a tribute to you know who." He said with a grin. (Her sports hero)
She grinned back, she knew exactly who he meant, and although she didn't want to do any more how could she argue with that?
When the twelve seconds were up she pulled the key out of the treadmill and doubled over.
"Are you trying to kill me?" She asked, struggling to catch her breath.
"It wasn't my idea for you to walk on an incline." He told her with a laugh.
"Want to go ten more minutes?" He asked her.
"Yeah, tomorrow." She responded.
He laughed.
"Let's take a shower and then go to bed." She suggested.
"Together?" He asked with a grin.
"No." She told him with a smile.
Jackie jumped in the shower first and when she was finished she got dressed in her pajamas and then Nick took his turn in the shower.
When he got out he found Jackie watching TV.
"Hey want some ice cream?" He asked.
"And just waste our workout, are you nuts?" she asked.
"Good point, but it does sound good."
"Yes it does, but I'm saying no way." She told him.
"Alright then, let's just go to bed."
"Ok, that's one way to fend off temptations." She told him with a grin.
Soon the couple were wrapped in each others arms as they drifted off to dream land.
The End! I'd love new story ideas! Just shoot me a PM!
