Convincing Erin to do a simple task is never easy. Never one for taking orders or directions, it was quite the challenge for her to be under Randy's direction at Orton Advertising. Telling her she needed to stay home and rest was a different ballpark altogether.
Officially at 32 weeks and warned that labor could be imminent, Erin reluctantly stayed home. She wouldn't have had a problem being at home, other than the fact that Randy called every hour to check up on her. To prove Randy a lesson that she didn't need his obsessive behavior, Erin purposely didn't pick up the phone one time he called her.
Bad idea. Fifteen minutes later, Erin was greeted by the paramedics and fire department with Randy in tow. Oh good grief.
Deciding the phone calls and his overzealousness must come to an abrupt end, Randy began to work from home more often to keep an eye over his wife. While Erin appreciated seeing Randy home more often, she felt like she was being constantly stalked. If she made a slight face, Randy rushed to her side. If she had to walk upstairs, he was right behind her. Yet, when she needed help using the bathroom, Randy was conspicuously absent.
"Do you need help with that?" He asked.
Erin tore open a bag of Fritos. She raised an eyebrow as she began munching on her chips. "I think I got it, Orton."
"Alright, well…just let me know if you need anything."
"Yes, Orton, I will. Just like you told me the past 20 minutes and two hours ago and three hours before that…" Erin shook her head. "Don't you have an advertising campaign to work on?"
"Actually, I do." He grabbed her hand and led her to his home office. "I want you to check this out." He put a tape in the VCR and pressed play.
Burger King was one of Orton Advertising's biggest clients. Their ads would be seen throughout the world and many customers have agreed their commercials helped inspired their purchases. "It's the ad for their new Angus burgers."
Erin watched as Dr. Angus led an inspirational group who had trouble sitting down. He then ended the commercial with "I'm full of sit, you're full of sit, we're all full of sit."
Randy turned off the commercial and smiled at Erin. "So what do you think?"
Erin closed her eyes and shook her head. "You came up with that one all by yourself, didn't you?"
"Sure did." He smiled.
-------------------------------------
Later that night, Erin was trying to become as comfortable as possible in bed. Lying on her back was next to impossible for it felt like the babies were squeezing her lungs. Her only comfortable positions were sleeping on her side or upright. While she enjoyed being pregnant, she couldn't wait to give birth finally.
Randy echoed the same sentiments. He was excited about becoming a father and couldn't wait to see his children born. But he also missed having a lot of sex. He also couldn't wait for Erin's mood swings to calm down finally. Although, some of her mood swings weren't that bad because if he caught her in the right mood, she would mount him.
As Erin was laying in bed, Randy came in holding a large white book. It was covered in satin and had ribbons and bows. "What's that? Something for a new client?" She asked.
"Um, you can say that." He replied as he slipped off his shoes.
Erin sat up a little bit. "Well, what is it?"
"It's a bedtime story for the kids." He said as he climbed into bed. He then adjusted his position so his head was next to Erin's womb. "It's called the Prince and the Princess."
Erin thought about the story title. She was always a fan of bedtime stories and couldn't remember that particular one. "I never heard of this one." She said.
"That's funny." He opened the highly illustrated book. "Because you're in the starring role."
Erin's eyes lit up as she looked at the book. "What?"
Randy began flipping through the pages. Colorful illustrations of their courtship and weddings were displayed throughout the bonded literature. Detailed memories of dialogue and conversations were included as descriptive narratives. "It's the story of how we met."
Erin began tearing up. Randy always knew the littlest things made her happy and this moment was no different. "Randy…"
"Well, I wanted it to be a surprise for you because I know you've had a hard time with the babies. So this is for you—and them." He grinned as he opened the book. He began reading the first page. "Now once upon a time, there was this hot young stud, who got all the trim in New York…"
Erin rolled her eyes. "Oh Lord."
"…And he was the best looking motherf…" Randy paused as Erin waited for him to finish. "He was the best looking gentleman out there. Women flocked to him on a constant basis and he got to tap so many…"
"I think I heard enough of the bedtime story, Orton."
"But then one fateful day at a coffee shop, he met the woman of his dreams—although he didn't know it at the time." He looked at his wife. "And she was everything he could ever want in a woman."
Erin melted at her husband's love. "Randy…"
"She was intelligent and voluptuous."
Erin giggled. "Thank you."
"And she had the biggest natural breasts he's ever seen."
"There's a compliment somewhere in that." Erin wondered.
"The purest heart and soul he's ever known." He continued.
"Orton…" Erin blushed.
"And the cutest little landing strip…"
"Alright, time for bed."
