It was a quiet night. Wanda could hear the occasional hooting of an owl and the distant horns of cars downstreet. The clock downstairs rang twice, indicating the late hour of 2 am. She tossed and turned, trying to get comfortable and ignoring the craving that had flared up all of a sudden. Wanda tried counting sheep, counting from 1 to 100 and 100 to 1 and even tried creating stories in her head hoping it would help her fall asleep. She sighed and carefully turned on her side, mindful of her belly. Wanda slightly tapped her belly and almost immediately she felt a flutter of kicks which made her smile. Next to her, Stephen was fast asleep, dead to the world. Wanda waited for a few more minutes until she could take no more.

"Oh fuck it…" Wanda sat up slowly and as silently as she could with her somewhat huge belly. She got out of bed and slowly waddled to the door and down the stairs towards the kitchen, mindful of the creaking floorboards.

She opened the fridge and sighed in bliss. There it was the remedy to her irritating craving! She took out the tub of chocolate ice cream, chocolate syrup, a packet of oreos, whipped cream and some chocolate wafers. Wanda quickly whipped up a chocolate sundae in a big bowl and was going to take the first spoonful when she heard

"You do realise you could get sick."

Stephen felt Wanda get up and leave the bed but paid no heed to it thinking she had left for the washroom. But when some time passed and she didn't get back to bed he grew concerned. He wiped the sleep out of his eyes and went out to investigate. He went towards the attached bathroom at the one end of their room to check on her. She was not there. Realisation dawned on Stephen as he realised where she was at the moment- raiding the kitchen. Wanda's sweet tooth had increased tenfold due to the pregnancy. Stephen was happy to oblige her but the doctor in him was constantly at odds with this due the problems this could cause. He silently went downstairs and made his way to the dimly lit kitchen.

There she was adding the whipped cream to a sundae, her expression gleeful. Wanda did not notice him as she was too engrossed with the ice cream. Stephen smiled at her and called out.

"You do realise you could get sick."

Wanda took the first spoonful of ice cream, nodding at Stephen, bliss taking over her as she tasted the ice cream. She munched at the pieces of crumbled oreos and smiled at Stephen.

"You do know that it's winter here and that you could get a cold eating ice cream at two in the morning." Stephen walked in and sat beside her.

"Yes love, I am aware. Your children were making it quite difficult for me." Wanda smiled at him.

"So would you like to share darling?"

"Goodness Stephen. Let me have a couple of spoonfuls first!"

"How much chocolate syrup did you put into this?" Stephen asked, seeing the copious amounts of syrup on the ice cream.

"Enough. Less talking, more eating Stephen."

All was quiet for a few minutes as the couple shared the ice cream between them, Stephen occasionally grimacing at how sweet it was.

"What fine parents we'll make! Eating ice cream at two in the morning." She giggled, her green eyes shining with mirth.

"Don't worry Wanda. We'll be fine."
