Dead bodies and New Life Chapter 25 Wake up
The alarm sounded at 3pm, and Gil groaned before leaning over Sara's shoulder and hitting the off button to silence the annoying sound. He then settled back behind her, resting on his elbow. Sara was still in a light sleep. She was sleeping a lot better lately, maybe the pregnancy was making her more tired, either that or now she was relaxed more regularly sleep came easier Not drinking coffee was also probably helping. He leaned forward and kissed her shoulder softly as his arm circled her waist to stop and rest upon her tummy, and making gentle circling motions
"Mm...is it that time already" she said as she opened her eyes, let them focus and read the time.
"We still have a couple of hours before you go to work, want me to make something to eat and bring it up to you?" Gil asked softly into her ear.
She rubbed her eyes "You go make something and I will be down shortly, I just want to get a quick shower, okay" she turned round and gave him a quick peck on the lips before climbing out of bed to go to the bathroom.
Fifteen minutes later Gil and Sara were sat at the breakfast bar eating their omelets, Gil was skipping through the pages of the book he had ordered on high protein and calorie foods for vegetarians, that came in his package and Sara was looking through her Pregnancy and prenatal A to Z book .
"Do you know the babybug is 3 inches long and weighs about an ounce, and fingernails and bones can now be seen on a scan?" Sara looked up at Gil with a smile.
"Really, I do know that we could find out the sex by some tests, but if we wait another month we will be able to find out at our 16 week scan" he paused. "Do you want to know the sex before it is born Sara?" he asked, looking lovingly at her.
"I haven't even thought about that yet" she smiled "I don't really know if I want to know or not."
"Well, it would help us prepare a nursery, buying the items the baby will need, and choosing a name, if we know the sex, but I am happy to go with what you want to do" he said, rising from his chair and reaching for her hand to pull her out of the kitchen to the family room.
"Yes, it would help make it easier for us... yes let's do it, we will ask at our next scan." she said. then her eyes widened "I never even thought about names Gil, god there is so much to do" she said as he sat on the couch and pulled her gently down onto his lap.
He encircled her in a soft embrace "Hey, we have lots of time, and I will do my bit, and if need be we will ask the team to help out, okay" he reassured her, and kissed her temple "If it is a boy how about William after William Shakespeare" he asked hopefully, smiling widely.
She punched his arm softly "Be serious Gil, William is a bit dated, I want something with a bit more meaning, maybe a more modern name like Blue, Kai, or how about Vegas as a name, some famous people name their kids after the towns or cities that their babies were conceived in", she finished, laughing at the shocked look on his face.
"Sara" he warned "No way is my kid having any of those ridiculous names, and I hope you were joking even mentioning them" he pecked her on the lips "How about Anthony, Ant for short for a boy, and Beatrice, Bee for short for a girl" he laughed loudly at her glare.
"I think they are nice names" he pouted at her adorably.
"You would because they are bug names Gil, the poor kid is gonna have it tough enough with two socially inept parents without having names people will make fun of, especially when they hear that their father is an entomologist," she sighed exasperatedly, then smiled and kissed him for looking so cute.
"Tell you what, why don't I pick us up a book on baby names, and we can start looking, okay honey" he pulled her of his lap to sit next to him on the couch "I'll just get your protein shake." he got up to go to the kitchen "I have made up enough for about 3 shakes, so you can take one to work and put it in my fridge in the office, and have one when you get home" he smiled as he left the room.
Five minutes later he returned with a tall tumbler filled with a brown looking lumpy liquid "Here you go" he handed it to her.
"What's in it Gil, I am not sure if I will like it" she looked at it skeptically.
"Do you like snickers Sara?" he asked smiling at her.
"You know I do, you buy me them all the time" she paused "No way, snickers in a drink, wow" she took a big gulp of the drink "Wow Gil this is great, I am gonna have to make sure I don't leave it sat around or it will get drunk by someone, this is so tasty" she took a few more gulps nearly finishing the glass "If these are high protein shakes you can make them all the time for me" she finished the drink, then grabbed his hand and pulled him down for a hard kiss.
He took the glass from her and placed in on the coffee table, and sat back down, pulling her on to his lap cuddling and kissing her neck "You know when Jim came by last night" she paused
"Uh..huh" he replied into her neck
"I told him about my past, not all the details mind you, but enough" Gil pulled away to look at her.
"And?" he prompted her
"He was really good. I cried, he gave me a hug, and said I was like a daughter to him" she smiled a little shyly "I guess to a degree I have always seen him as a protective father, but I didn't tell him" she sighed "I should have, but I think I could tell him, by asking him to walk me down the aisle, what do you think?"
"I think Jim would be honored to do that for you honey, and I know it will touch him deeply to be able to" he kissed her softly.
"Tell you what. You go get ready for work, and I'll get your lunch and shake ready to go, and while you're at work, I will take a look at the notes you made for the wedding you want and see if I can get the ball rolling with making some definite plans, okay honey?" he pushed her up slowly to standing position "We are both off tomorrow, so I think we will pick a date, and make more plans then, if that is okay with you" he kissed her after he stood.
"Yeah, that's a good idea, I'll be down in 20 minutes" she said as she headed to the stairs.
Half an hour later Sara left for work after a kiss and cuddle on the door step and Gil waving her off.
