"Name?"
"Under Grimm Ben Grimm."
"Reservations for two at 4:30 today, am I correct?"
"Yes"
"Your guest has already arrived, I will show you to your table follow me please."
Ben Grimm followed the waiter to this table careful not to knock into anything or break anything. He followed him to the table that he had specially requested right next to the window.
"Hi there beautiful" he said the woman sitting at the table.
"Hi there yourself" she said.
"I will be back with your drinks sir, the lady has already order yours for you."
Ben sat and down and started on the bread.
"Sorry about being late" he said with mouth fulls of bread. "I kept ripping my jackets, went through five before I got one."
"It's alright" said Alicia.
The waiter appeared with his drink.
"A diet coke in an extra extra large glass."
"You do know me don't you." said Ben with a wink.
"Shall I take your orders" asked the waiter as he flipped out his small order book.
"I'll have the marinade steak, with the side order of vegetables and a bake potato."
"Excellent choice sir, and for the lady."
"I'll have the caesar with the french dressing."
He nodded and walked off.
"Are we by the window?" asked Alicia.
"Yeah" said Ben nodding his head.
"Will you?" she asked, as she took his hand in hers.
"Of course."
"It's sunny out, there's only two clouds in the sky, the rest is clear. There's three robins on the tree. There's a rosebush, they're so red."
"Hmm...I wish I could see them" she said.
"Well I know you can't see them, but you can feel them" he said as he pulled out a rose of his jacket and placed it on the table next to her hand. Alicia sat there shocked and carefully picked up the rose careful to avoid the sharp thorns.
"Ben thank you so much." she said as she leaned against the table and kissed him on the cheek.
"Here we go steak for you and salad for the lady." said the waiter placing food on the table in front of them.
"Look's delicious, I'm starving." Ben said.
"Let's eat."
"Sue darling you must eat something."
"I'm not that hungry."
"We'll just have coffee." Reed said the waitress.
"Black please."
"Coming up."
The waitress left them and the couple was left in their both. They had decided to eat at the diner that was on the corner.
"It's ok we'll find some other way -"
"I'm sorry" Sue said as she cut him off.
"I just wanted this so bad, and I know you wanted it too." she finished.
Reed smiled softly as he reached a crossed the table and gently stroked her hand.
"It's fine, I want a child it doesn't have to be from us just as long as it's healthy."
Sue smiled a delicate, but Reed knew she still wasn't convinced. They drank their coffee in silence and payed the waitress. They stepped out of the diner and it was perfect fall evening.
"How about a walk around the park?" Reed suggested, as he took his hand in hers.
"That would great."
