Part eleven, Monday evening, Lee`s house
"Finally you are my wife. How long have I wait for this day?"
Amanda countered fresh. "It was not too long. If I remember right we have met for about four years. And I remember quite right because my whole life had changed since this morning on the train station. And a so called Lee Stetson was not enthusiastic from the idea to have me as partner. And later you haven't shown me your true feelings for me. We could have all this earlier, or not everything. Do yo want your gift now? I know you will have it.
"Yes I will it. But at first you will get yours."
Lee gave her a curled up paper which was held together through a yellow ribbon. It was a deed of gift for Lee´s holiday house.
"Lee you give me the house you was given from your parents. Are you sure? It is everything you have from them."
"Yes, I am sure. It should be something like our love-nest. We can come here in very stressful times."
Amanda had to laugh. "Then you will have to stay here in some months."
Lee didn't understand what Amanda meant, but this time he asked her.
"Don't be bad with me but I don't know what you will say me."
"I think it is a perfect time to give you your present. Then you will understand this. Do you want it?"
Lee nodded. Amanda gave him two small boxes.
"Take one. Perhaps you will know it then. If not I will tell it you."
Lee tool the bigger one and opened it. In it he saw a pair of baby-shoes.
"Amanda this are baby-shoes, aren't this? For what do you need them? Are you pregnant?"
"Yes, we are getting a baby. Because this went to the doctors. And I thought you will know it after I gave you all the books about babies and started with needlework. Do you haven't noticed anything?"
Lee was amazed. "No, I haven't and you are absolutely sure? Oh my gosh, I become a daddy!"
"You could thing you don't want this after your talking!"
"Amanda are you silly? I can't thing about a better thing as getting a baby with the woman I love. And this so fast. I cannot believe it. I am going to be a daddy? Does the boys know it?"
"No they don't know it. I have told it only mother and she was happy for me or better for us. We have five and a half month to tell it everyone. And you have time to get used with the new situation. Becoming father can be very hard."
Lee gave Amanda a very passionately kiss.
"This is the best gift you could make. I can't believe it. We are getting a baby. Now I understand your weird insinuation. What are we going to tell at The Agency?"
Lee was happy.
"At first we will tell them nothing. We are telling it Billy at first. At the latest when you are going to see me belly which won't take a long time. Lee we have to go back tomorrow. I have to work on wednesday. But you can stay in my house. The boys are on their holidays with Joe and mother is somewhere, too. Besides that someone have to look after you."
"Okay, let us go back. But you must promise that you will only work on simple assignments without me. I have to take care of my wife and our child."
"I promise that I will only work in the office."
Amanda left the room to pack for their departure. But at first she called her mother.
"Hi mother. We are flying back tomorrow. Lee will stay the next days with me. But only as pass over. We doesn't know if and when we move together."
"That is okay. The boys and I we are not here. I will go away today. So you will be alone. Are you married, Amanda?"
"Yes, we had a wedding today. He his happy about the news."
"That is great. I wish you two a nice evening and a good way home. Enjoy the time alone. Say hello to Lee."
Amanda put down the receiver and went packing.
"Finally you are my wife. How long have I wait for this day?"
