Chapter Two
"You don't see me for about three months." I said "And the first thing out of your mouth is 'you were a woman?'."
"Oh, please." Janie said rolling her eyes. "If you were told I was man wouldn't you be the least bit curious?"
"Yes, but I know for a fact that you are not a man."
"True just like I know for a fact that you are not a woman, but you were in dream setting and you still haven't explained that to me." She pouted.
"You have sex hair, love." I said kissing her.
"Well, duh. We just had sex Eames of course I have sex hair. And would you please quit trying to change the subject?"
"Are you going to quit asking me about it?"
"No."
"Then I won't quit trying to change the subject. And if you really wanted to hear the answer you shouldn't have lead me up the stairs to your room, you're such a naughty girl."
"Eames I did not lead you up the stairs, you carried me up the stairs to my room."
"Perhaps I did."
"Well you please tell me Eames."
"No."
"Fine."
"Thank you. Now are you going to tell me what's bothering you?"
"What makes you think something's bothering me?"
"Because you have that same look Arthur gets when he thinks he knows something the rest of us doesn't."
"Nothing's bothering me."
"Janie."
"Eames."
"Janie."
"Danny." She said smirking.
"Janie. Is it weird that you know my name, yet I don't know know yours."
"You know my name."
"No I know your middle name, I don't know your first names."
"I don't know your middle name."
"Maybe I don't have a middle name."
"Maybe I don't have a first name."
"Then that would just make your middle name your first name. So are you going to tell me your first name?"
"No."
"Why not?"
"It's stupid."
"No stupider than Daniel."
"I happen to like the name Daniel."
"Well at least one of us does. Are you going tell me what's bothering you?"
"No."
"Janie if you're worried about hurting my feelings then don't, I want you tell me what you're thinking or what bothers you."
"I bet you tell that to all the other girls, too."
"What other girls, Janie? Does this have to do anything with about me leaving all the time?"
"Maybe."She said looking away from me.
"Janie will you please look at me?"
"No."
"Janie, please?"
"Fine." She said looking up at me.
"Hey, don't cry." I said taking my thumb and wiping away her tears.
"It's just that two weeks after you left to go to Mombasa I realized something."
"What?"
"My period was late."
"Is this your way of telling me-?"
"No, no Eames I'm not pregnant. It's just that when I thought I was I didn't have someone there to hold my hand and tell me everything was going to be alright."
"Love, come here." I said pulling her closer. "One day I promise you we will have that. The white picket fence, kids running around the yard. We'll even elope in Las Vegas if you want."
"Uh-huh. And when do you plan on telling my brother all of this?" She teased.
"When it snows on the fourth of July."
"I love you, Eames." She laughed.
"I love you too."
