through another long dry spell. On to chapter 10!

Chapter 10 (by AngieBaby)
"Good," he said, and squeezed her hand. Monica was quiet after that. "Are you thinking about something?" he asked, not wanting to be in the dark about anything.
"I was just wondering about this whole human thing. How long do you suppose we'll be in this form, Andy?" she asked, her voice a little sad.
"Well, I don't know. It's the Father's choice. I guess when he decides, then that will be that," Andrew mused thoughtfully. Monica bit her lip.
"I love being an angel, and I love everything that goes along with it. It's just that I don't know.I like this.me and you," she added shyly. Andrew smiled and leaned down and kissed her lips softly.
"I do too. Let's just be glad that we have this chance to be together," he added. Monica nodded.
"Now, about this construction thing. Are you sure you want to do that?" she asked, almost a little scared. He sighed.
"No Moni, I'm not sure at all. I'm only going to check it out. There are plenty of jobs out there that don't require a college education, and if the construction doesn't work out, then there's always something else," he pointed out.
"I know but what about all the risks involved? I mean, you could get hurt and then what I do? I couldn't live with out you Andy," she said, speaking a mile a minute, almost surprised at her own thoughts.
"Hey! What's that about? What do you mean you "couldn't live without me"?" he asked.
"Well, I mean, we're humans Andrew and humans.they can-" She would have gone on to say that humans can die, but Andrew was too quick for her. He leaned in closer to her again, and kissed her, this time, preventing her from speaking.
"Sorry. I guess my mind was just running on high for a minute there," she said apologetically, after he had pulled away from the kiss. He laughed.
"If that's what it's gonna take to get you to be quiet and calm down, we won't have any problems," he said and kissed her gently again. Just then, Tess came back out onto the porch and bit her lip.
She thought that Monica and Andrew were so cute together when they were angels. This was weird for her. She had never been human, and didn't know what it was they were feeling, and she was ok with that. She was just afraid that they would get hurt.
"Get a room," she said, trying to joke, to the two kissing human-angels before her. Monica blushed and pulled away from Andrew's embrace and sighed.
"OK," she said and pulled Andrew to his feet. "Let's go." They were inside the house and on their way to the living room and Andrew asked,
"Where are we going?"
Monica giggled.
"Right here, silly." She pushed Andrew onto the couch and practically fell into his lap.
"Right here, huh?" he said sleepily and yawned. "I think I want to take a nap before I go and check into the construction jobs. Sound good to you?" he asked. She nodded.
"I'm all for naps," she said and tried to hide a yawn. He kissed her forehead lovingly.
"OK then. We'll take a nap," he said. She snuggled against him and wrapped her arms around his waist, and rested her head on his chest. Soon, they were both in a deep sleep, totally comfortable sleeping on the tiny couch, as long as they were together.
(Andrew's Dream)
"I now pronounce you, Husband and Wife," the minister, who was Tess, said with a smile. "You may kiss the bride."
Andrew kissed Monica and then they both turned and walked back down the aisle, same as they came.
~~
Andrew watched as Monica played with a baby. She tickled its toes and kissed its nose, and picked it up and spun it around in a circle. She walked towards Andrew, the baby in her arms and said,
"Come play! She's yours too!"
(End Andrew's Dream)
Andrew jerked awake, some hours later. He smiled to see that Monica was still fast asleep, snuggled up with him on the couch.
"What a weird dream!" he mused thoughtfully. Monica moved and her eyes slowly opened.
"What was a weird dream?" she asked, startling Andrew, who didn't mean to wake her.
"Oh I just had a dreamâ. It was actually kind of nice," he said with a sly smile. She poked him in the stomach.
"Tell me!" she pried.
"All right, all right. It was a wedding. Our wedding, actually," he said a little shyly.
"And?" Monica prompted with a big grin on her face.
"And the minister who married us was Tess. She told us that we were husband and wife and told me to kiss you. I did. Then we turned around and walked back down the isle. Then the scene changed a bit and we were in a park, but no other people were around. You were playing with a little baby and it was laughing and you were laughing and I was laughing." He paused to take a breath and continued. "I was standing off to the side, just kind of watching you play with the baby and then all the sudden you looked at me, picked the baby up and came over to where I was standing and said, "Come play! She's yours too!" and then I woke up," he said with optimism. Monica made a face.
"Wow. That is weird," she joked. Andrew pretended to be hurt and made a puppy dog face. That made Monica burst out laughing.
"You wanna laugh at me, huh?" he asked with a smile. "Well I'll give you something to laugh about," he said and slipped his hands under her arms and tickled her mercilessly. She shrieked and Andrew was sure that you could hear her a mile away.
"Andy! Stop!" she gasped, unable to breathe properly and laugh at the same time. He obeyed her orders and stopped the tickling and kissed her instead.
"Mmmm! I like that better," she said. Andrew nodded his agreement and kissed her again, ironically at the exact same time that Tess came into the room.
"Still at it, huh?" she said asked with a roll of her eyes. "Jeez, do ya ever quit?"
Monica laughed.
"Only when we feel like it, and now isn't one of those times!" she said enthusiastically. To prove her point, she pulled Andrew back into her arms and gave him a long kiss. Tess grumbled something about "getting a room" and left. Monica pulled away as soon as Tess was gone and said,
"That was funny!"
"You're too cute sometimes, Angel Girl," he said with a smile.
"I know," she chirped. "It's just me, to be cute." Andrew rolled his eyes.
"Yeah, sure it is." He glanced at his watch and saw that it was after noon already. "I had better get moving if I'm gonna make that construction interview," he said, and noticed a look of fear cross Monica's pretty features.
"Just be careful. Whatever you decide, I'll be all for it. Just don't go getting yourself hurt, ok, Andy?" she asked with a small smile.
"You know it, sweetie," he said. She nodded and hugged him tight. He got up from the couch, where they had been for the past three and a half hours, and headed up stairs to get ready for his interview.
