(A/N: I own only plot. This is for musicrox14, a good friend and long-standing reviewer. Thanks so much.)
Mara sat opposite her husband. "Try to guess why I'm so happy." She bubbled, absolutely brimming with her excitement.
They'd been home from their honeymoon for two months, two weeks. Jerome looked at his beaming wife.
He said "You are going on a day out with your friends? You've got a job? You're doing math? Science?"
"All wrong. One more." She bubbled.
"Um... you are... starring in a TV show?" Jerome asked, not really knowing what to say.
Mara smiled. If he couldn't guess something as simple as that, then he was just going to fall off his chair in shock at her announcement.
"Jerome, we're having a baby." She told him.
Jerome stared at his wife. He had absolutely no words.
"Do you want some breakfast?" She asked, happily.
"You're- you're... baby... you... pregnant?" He stuttered, totally uncomprehending.
"Yup." She smiled, frying bacon.
After their baby's birth, Jerome was totally in shock. His first child, a tiny baby boy. A shock of dirty blond curls, glowing blue sapphire eyes and a round little face.
Mara was glowing with pride in her son, who looked a lot like his father, but with his mother's features, even the eyes, except they were blue instead of brown.
Jerome looked at an unchanged Mara, who was happy to chat with her parents and his, though he'd wanted to invite the woman he preferred to count as his mother. He wasn't too keen on Joan, he was actually still holding a grudge against her and John. He still loathed goody-two-shoes Poppy.
He desperately wanted to leave, but he couldn't seem rude.
Mara got along happily, though she was a little bit colder to Jerome's family as she was mad at them for totally ignoring him.
She sat and cuddled her new son, singing softly to him. Everything felt right in that one moment.
OK, what are you thinking? Chapter five takes place on the baby's first birthday and how they celebrate. Sorry it was so short.
Hope you enjoyed this. Review! Until next update, BlackCat46. :)
