Chapter 21
Wilson's alarm to woke him up at 8am, Marcy was coming at 10am so that should give him enough time to get ready.
House was already up which was a surprise to Wilson "Hey you ok? it's like 8am on a Saturday morning "
"Yep I'm fine"
"Leg ok?"
"Is now!"
"You want breakfast?"
"If it's pancakes then of course"
"So what are you planning for this weekend?"
"Nothing, might see Tammy at some point, but we haven't planned anything, I think her family have plans"
"So, why don't you come with me and Marcy I'm sure she won't mind"
"No thanks not into playing third wheel"
"Ok suit yourself - not sure when I will be back, Marcy is picking me up so you can have the car for the whole weekend"
"Thanks" said House finishing his breakfast. "Hadn't you better get ready she'll be here in an hour, it takes you that long to blow dry your hair"
Marcy came for Wilson a little before 10am and waited while he finished getting ready. "Hi Gerry how are you?"
"Peachy - alots changed since Thursday" He said heavy on sarcasm
"Good to know" She said with a chuckle.
They said goodbye to Gerry and made their way to town. The skies were clear and blue, it wasn't as hot as it had been, but it was going to be a lovely day.
They parked the car in the field that had been designated as parking for the weekend and walked to the Farmers Market , Wilson however was already yawning and washing his face with his hands.
"Hey babe are you ok?"
"Yeah, must be the new medication - sorry!"
"Nothing to be sorry about, but I would suggest not sleeping until we find somewhere to sit down"
The main street was already bustling with people. There was bunting all around the lamp posts and between the shops along with lots of balloons. The road had been shut off, so they had a band playing at one end.
They took their time wandering around the market, the smells were making Wilson's mouth water and most stands had samples to taste. It was like food heaven. By the time they had finished Wilson must have bought something from nearly every stand - accept from the face painting.
"I could do with a cup of coffee, shall we go to the bakery?" Said Marcy
"That sounds like a very good idea, I don't think I should buy anything else"
They sat drinking their coffee, although it wasn't a quiet cup of coffee as the bakery was full. Wilson was yawning again and struggling to keep his eyes open. "Do you want to go back to my place and rest a while. The movie in the park isn't on until 6.30pm, we don't have to stay here till then"
"You know, I think that would be a great idea, otherwise I might put my head in my coffee"
"On the way back to the car, I need to go into the Drug Store"
"OK - anything wrong, you don't seem sick?"
"No - just womans things!" She said quietly
"oh,,,oh...ok" Said Wilson a little embarrassed
They got back to Marcy's leaden with goods from the market. "I think we should take a hamper to the movie and make it out of all this stuff " Said Wilson
"I agree. Shall we go lie down for little while" She said tenderly to Wilson
"You want to lay down?" Wilson said a little surprised.
"Well, I'll lay with you for a while and then read. I like watching you sleep" She said softly
He gently took hold of her hands and pulled her to him and kissed her.
"mmm, keep that up and there won't be any time for sleep" Said Marcy
"I can always sleep while the movie is on!" Said Wilson with a chuckle, which in turn got him a slap across the arm "ok, ok I'm only joking - no need for violence" He said raising his hands in the air in defence.
"Come on lets go" She said pulling him up and towards her bedroom.
They set an alarm for 5pm, just in case they both fell asleep.
It was a good job that they did set an alarm because they both fell asleep. Wilson was the first one to wake up, he realised that Marcy had fallen asleep with him and kissed her to wake her up.
"mmmm, that's the best wake call I've ever had" she said sleepily.
"Come on sleepy head, we had better get moving or we will be late for the movie" Said Wilson leaning over to give her another kiss.
"Ok, ok, spoil sport"
"We can stay here if you want to, but it was your idea to go to the movie in the park"
"I know it was. Come on lets go enjoy an end of summer evening - we might not get too many more." She said reluctantly getting out of bed.
"I'm going to shower and change" Said Wilson as he got up.
"Ok, I'll go get the hamper ready" She said planting a kiss on his cheek.
At 5.45pm they were both ready to leave, they both liked to be early birds. They were at the park and parking the car a little after 6, just about on time for them.
They found a spot and put out their blanket, there were families and couples dotted about all over the field, all with pic-nic's of some sort. The evening was still warm aswell, which made things much better.
The movie as always was kept a secret right up until it started. Wilson gave a chuckle once it started - House would have a field day with this - Mamma Mia.
Wilson being the person he was, quite enjoyed chick flicks and found the film mildly entertaining and near the end when 'dancing queen' came on all he did was laugh.
"What's so funny?" Said Marcy
"Greg had this as my ring tone on his phone" He said still laughing
"Why did he have this as your ring tone"
"Because he thought I was a closet gay and should be an Abba Groupie - actually I could quite get into Abba - I liked that film" He said with a big smile on his face.
"Yeah I could just imagine you and Gerry sitting around listening to the Abba Gold Album" She said laughing aswell.
They stayed at the park once the film had finished, as did quite a few others. There were blankets with candles glowing dotted all over the park - most of them couples enjoying the late summer evening.
They were laying quietly watching the stars, Marcy moved closer to James and lay her head on his chest.
"Hey you ok?" Said Wilson somewhat dreamily
"Yeah fine - just getting a little chilly"
"Shall we make a move then - don't want you getting sick" Said Wilson with concern in his voice.
"No, I'm fine - 10 more minutes?" She asked
"OK"
"James, can I ask you a question?"
"Sure"
"Why don't you have any children?"
"I don't know really, it just never happened - which I am quite thankful for" He said a little sadly
"Thankful ? You didn't or don't want children?"
"No, but 3 ex-wives is bad enough but if there were 3 sets of ex-children to go with that. It would be really sad to have involved children in that mess"
"mmmm" She said quietly "That makes sense" They lay together for a little while longer, although neither one seemed to want to move "Um James I think I might be pregnant!"
"What do you mean?"
She furrowed her brow at him in a confused stare "I'm late for my period, I've bought a pregnancy test to do - I just thought you should know"
"Well you might not be. Do the test first then we can worry after" He said half smiling
"You're not angry?" Said Marcy
"No, why would I be angry?"
"Well, we hardly know each other, you're sick and I'm an idiot and I... don't know - I just thought that you would be" She said softly
"if you are and we don't know that yet - it must be fate. You are on the pil and with all the chemo that I had back in May I would have been pretty sure that it made me infertile. So it's a miracle and was meant to be. Now what kind of person would I be if I was angry at that" He said softly running his fingers up and down her arm.
"I love you - James Evan Wilson and I am thankful for whatever the reason was that you stopped here"
James turned his head to her and smiled "I love you too"
7.30am Sunday morning, Marcy had woken up early and couldn't get back to sleep. She tossed and turned for a while.
"Go do the test already" Said Wilson laughing
"I can't! What am I going to do if I am pregnant - I'm 40 years old - how can I be having a baby - this is just madness!"
"Yes you can woman do it all the time. Just go do the test so we can get on with the rest of the labor day celebrations"
"Will you come with me - I don't want to do this on my own?"
"I can't pee on the stick for you - cos that won't work, but I can hold your hand while you pee"
"Come on let's do it!"
They went to her bathroom together, she peed on the stick and they waited with bated breaths to see what the result would be.
"You look" Said Marcy
"No we do it together" Said Wilson sternly holding her hands tightly
"Ok on 3 we look together " Said Marcy
"1, 2, 3"
