36 Are You Sure? Cont.
Too Much?
The next morning when Tom woke up, Christina was awake watching him. They smiled at each other. Good morning Sunshine. She waved her fingers and smiled back at him. Why such a pretty smile this morning? Because I'm here with you. I noticed you slept more peaceful last night. Any reason why? Yea, because I took matters into my own hand. She kissed his hand as she talked to him. "Tom, she said so sweetly, "I know you are scared right now, and I don't know why my craving is you. I don't feel it's dangerous, I don't know Tom, I can't explain it. Maybe it's some hormone." You know Sunshine, I'm glad it's whatever. It gives me a perfect reason to make love to you as much as I want. Thanks Tom. She kissed his hand as she held it.
Hey, do you want me to cook you breakfast or do you want to go out for breakfast? He kissed her forehead and said. "Let's cook breakfast together. Tom and Christina did a lot of bonding. In the background, you could hear music playing as the two of them moved around the kitchen. They laughed and talked as they prepared a light breakfast. She kissed him as he scrambled eggs, He kissed her as she poured juice. He walked up behind her and wrapped his arms around her and planted another kiss on her jaw. When she sat to eat, he pulled her onto his lap to rub her stomach and talk to the baby. She laughed at him and held her stomach as he continued his conversation. Christina kissed him on the top of his head. He kissed her stomach, then gently kissed her lips. She laughed when he tickled her neck with his tongue and made faces at her. She enjoyed this breakfast time with him tremendously. He fed her eggs and she in return kissed the preserves she left on his mouth. She fed him bacon and teasing kisses. He poured more fresh juice for her but she shared it with him. After breakfast they cleaned the kitchen together. During this bonding time, Tom got a chance to see that Christina was actually ok and maybe what she went through with Camille was just a moment. If she needed help again, he would know how to help her.
After breakfast, Christina caught Tom admiring the portrait of them that she had given him on Valentine's day. He looked around as she walked to him. As she stood next to him, he put his arm around her. You know this is the most beautiful gift I have received. Can we do one of the family when the baby is born? Christina smiled, we already have a date.
They walked through the house looking at everything that had happened over the few short months. Are you happy baby? Tom, I am as long as I'm with you. They were standing in the baby's room. Both of them spent a lot of time in that room. He turned to Christina and tilted her head to him, kissing her so tenderly and lovingly that when he stopped her eyes were starry. I love you Tom. I know that . He kissed her again and walked her back to his room. She snuggled with Tom in his chair where he chose a movie to watch with her. He removed her shirt and covered her with a blanket. Do you mind me taking off your shirt? She shook her head saying no. While they watched TV together he tenderly rubbed her body. I guess you are my pacifier Sunshine. I don't mind being your pacifier. Does it bother you? You'll know when it starts bothering me. She looked up at him lovingly as she cuddled with him in his chair. He kissed her forehead as they watched the movie and he rubbed her breast, stomach, and face. Christina enjoyed the attention Tom was giving her. She knew when the baby arrived their lives would change drastically, especially if he wanted another baby after this baby. Are you sleep Christina? "No.", she said softly. I'm watching TV with my sweetheart, enjoying his hands caressing my body, and I'm loving every minute of it. Tom smiled as he kissed her fingers. Soon, both of them fell asleep.
Christina heard the phone ringing, but she thought it was in a dream. Camille was calling to check on Christina. Tom answered her phone. Christina Wakefield's phone. This is Tom . "Well hello, this is their daughter.", Camille said laughing. Hi Camille, how's your trip? Good… your mom's fine. She's actually with me now, but she's asleep. Let me wake her. She hated missing your last call. Hold on. "Sunshine.", he called softly. He kissed her as she looked at him. It's Camille. She wants to talk. Christina took the phone; 'Tom is fine", she said as she put the phone on her ear not giving Camille a chance to ask. Camille laughed and said, "Hi mom." Hi Camille. Are you enjoying your trip? Good. Well, Tom and I are actually enjoying some time together. Tom am I bothering you? He kissed her and said, "not at all." Did you hear that Camille? Ok Camille. Enjoy your trip. Christina laughed at something Camille was saying. Bye Camille, Bye Camille, I love you too. Hold on. Here Tom. Hello Camille. Ok Love you too. See you later. When Camille hung up, he looked at Christina and asked, "Do you want to go back to sleep?" Maybe, are you getting ready to watch a game? Not for an hour or so. Why? I want you to keep caressing me like you did earlier, that's how I went to sleep. What if I want you to stay awake with me? Then I will. Tom began to softly caress her again and true enough she went to sleep again.
When Christina woke again it was because she smelled the aroma of barbeque. Tom had ordered buffalo, spicy, and honey mustard wings along with dip and celery sticks. Christina woke up and looked around. What are you eating? Nothing yet, but I ordered some wings. No salad or anything? He shook his head. She tenderly rubbed his face. Do you want me to fix one for you? No, actually I want something to drink. Like what. Maybe something mixed since I have to go to work in the morning. Oh by the way, Steve and a couple more guys are coming over to watch the game. So are you putting me out of your room now? He laughed as she pulled the cover from him. Oh and how did you get that food without waking me? I'm magic. Well are you going to answer my question? What? Are you putting me out of your room? He kissed her and said, "You can stay baby ." That's ok, I was just checking. Is Bobbi coming with Steve. I don't know. I don't know if he was with her when he called. Tom thought about her being alone. Chrissy? She turned around and looked at him. Come here baby. She stood and looked at him before she walked slowly toward him with an expression he could not read. I'm sorry baby. I didn't think about you being alone when I told them to come over. I kind of wanted to show off my room and my gifts from you. I told Steve about my TV you bought, but he hasn't seen it. They don't know what I have in this room. Honestly, you can stay in here with us if you would like. The guys would truly understand. He kissed her and rubbed her stomach as he pulled her in an embrace. I'm ok. I can watch a movie in the hearth room and later I'll go out to the patio and read a book. Tom stood there looking, not knowing what to think or do. Then he said, "Will you let me make it up to you after the game? You won't be disappointed I promise." She smiled at his sincerity and concern. He kissed her again while swaying with her from side to side. Christina, I think you might need your shirt. You took it off Tom.
Just then they heard the doorbell. Oh they're early. Christina put on your shirt pleaassee. He picked up the shirt and put it on her. I love you Christina. She button the shirt and went into their bedroom to dress. Tom answered the door and Steve came in with beer and more junk. Bobbi was not with Steve. Christina spoke to Tom's friends and went in the hearth room to watch TV. After staying in the hearth room for a while, she decided not to go to the patio, but instead she went into the bedroom. She got in the bed with the intention to rest for a little while. She fell asleep before Tom made it to their room. When he finally made it to their room Christina was asleep. Tom stood there not knowing what to do. He took a shower and checked to see if she was still asleep before he got into bed. Goodnight sweetheart I'm so sorry.
The alarm went off the next morning, but Tom was up before the alarm. He couldn't sleep well because he felt he had disappointed Christina. He was shaving when he heard her stirring around in the room. Good morning Dr. Wakefield, Good morning Sunshine. How did you sleep? I slept fine, and you? I didn't sleep well at all. You were asleep when I made it to bed, and I couldn't sleep. I needed you. Christina smiled and continued to get ready for work. He watched her for a minute before he asked, "Are you giving me the silent treatment this morning?" Not at all Tom. Why would I do that? Then, if you are not upset with me, tell me. She pulled his head to her and kissed him until he pulled away and smiled. Thomas Wakefield, I am in love with you, not angry with you. Then she kissed him again and walked out of the bathroom. He shook his head and smiled as he walked out of the bathroom behind her. So what did I miss last night? I guess we'll never know Dr. Wakefield. He smiled, I love you Christina. I believe you Tom. He picked a fragrance from the dresser and oiled her body. This is how I want you to smell today. She laughed as he finished her body so she could get dressed. Thank you Tom. My pleasure Chrissy.
For the next three nights, Tom and Christina's schedule kept them from spending time together. Tom was in surgery or meetings. When he was not in a meeting Christina had meetings on her schedule. On the two nights he had to stay at the hospital very late, Christina rode home with Bobbi. Christina went to bed early on the nights Tom worked late. She didn't realize she was actually tired until she climbed into bed intending to watch TV and rest. Tom was starting to wonder if Christina was actually sleeping more or pretending to be sleep in the evenings and at night. He sent her flowers and her favorite chocolate candy to her office. She smiled, text him a love text, and shared her candy with Bobbi. He smiled after receiving the text message. Bobbi told Christina, I know you are paying him back. Not paying anybody back Bobbi. Am I riding home with you tonight? I would rather you ride with me. She turned around, Tom? Are you leaving now? I am. Can you leave right now? No, I'm not quite finish. Well I'll wait in your office with you. Bobbi, I'm in my office if anybody is looking for me. Tom reached for her hand and walked Christina back to her office where he waited patiently as she finished her work.
Just as she was ready to leave, she got a phone call. There was a problem on 3 west. She called and asked Bobbi if she could handle the problem for her. I'm finished in my office, I'm tired and I want to go to bed. Tom listened as she talked to Bobbi. Thanks Bobbi. I'll see you tomorrow. On their way home, Christina held Tom's hand while he drove. She laid back and closed her eyes. Tom, what do you want to eat tonight? Maybe a pasta and shrimp salad. Would you fix one for me? She opened one eye and looked at him. Are you trying to keep me up? Well actually, I just wanted to spend some time with you. We've been missing each other all week. She closed her eye but didn't respond. Christina? Yes. Do you want me to stop and buy dinner? Yes please, I'm really tired. Tom, I love you ok. Ok Christina. Can we shower together? Sure Tom. When they got home, Christina started her shower without Tom. When he came in she was letting the water massage her body. What's wrong Sunshine? She didn't answer. Instead, she leaned against Tom's chest. He put his arms around her and held her for a while. They finished in the shower and Tom oiled Christina's body, taking care to give special attention to her stomach. She smiled as he talked to the baby. He kissed her stomach and as he finished, Christina's stomach seemed to relax. He looked at her and smiled and she shook her head. After rubbing her body and soothing her stomach, he began to massage her feet. Oooh Tom. Thanks she whispered. She closed her eyes and enjoyed his every touch.
