He could feel her tense up and she was holding her breath as she waited for
him to speak. He was more than shocked by this, she was the reason he
bothered to get up in the morning, she was the reason he went to bed at
night, and she was the reason he continued with his pathetic existence. She
made him feel more than a man, she made him feel whole, she made him feel
alive.
"What makes you think that?"
"It doesn't matter. It's just me being stupid." She said, trying to brush it off, she knew she shouldn't have said anything.
"Of course it matters. If it makes you feel any better, I find you more attractive everyday I see you. If that's possible." He replied slowly, feeling hurt she felt like this.
"Really?" She said, her voice low and slightly surprised.
"You are more beautiful to me now than you have ever been." He said stroking her arm. "Why did you think that?"
"I guess it was just that we haven't..well anyway, I just thought you didn't find me sexually attractive anymore. It didn't worry me so much until I started thinking that after time you'd stop liking me as a person as well." She said, slightly embarrassed, but still a bit cut up about it all.
"Susan listen to me, we haven't, for a while because, well because when my wife was pregnant, she never wanted to. The entire time she was pregnant, with both of my children. So I just guessed it would be the same with you."
She laughed and then went silent again. She had been so stupid, jumping to conclusions before she even asked him. This was a lesson she'd never forget. She knew not to think before she asked with him, he always managed to surprise her.
"I'm sorry Luka."
"You didn't know, I understand." He said thoughtfully, still stroking her arm.
"I guess that'll teach me to jump to conclusions huh?" She said laughing a little.
"Exactly." He said smiling as he leaned up and kissed her head again.
There was a silence again as they both lay again in a comfortable silence, treasuring this moment as a time where they were both just being, and they were together.
"So now that I know." He began, in a voice he always did before they made love, or had sex, depending on the mood, ".do you think you're ready to go to bed?"
She smiled to herself, she had him. She sat up slowly, turning over to face him, and leaned in to give him a kiss.
"You sure this huge bump doesn't put you off?" She asked smiling as his face broke out into a huge grin, that face he did when he knew he was about to get lucky.
"What bump?" He said smiling and sat up slightly on his elbows to reach up and kiss her properly.
"I've wanted this for so long." She mumbled in between kisses.
"Me too." He replied quietly as they continued their kissing marathon.
One thing led to another, and an hour later, they were lying together in bed, in each others arms.
"I love this." She said randomly, after a few minutes of silence had passed.
"Me too." He said smiling as he lay with his arm round her shoulders whilst she lay on her side right next to him, her legs wrapped around his, and her arm draped over his chest.
"I was thinking today."
"Yeah." He replied smiling, she always started a sentence that way when she wanted something.
"Next week when I'm off, I'd start looking around for stuff for the baby's room."
"Good idea."
"Really?"
"Sure. I'll come with you when I'm off."
"Sounds great. But then I thought, we're not gonna know what kind of stuff to get."
"What do you mean?"
"We don't know the sex. So I'm gonna be stuck on colours."
"Well that's easily fixed." He replied simply as he reached over and grabbed the phone.
"What are you doing?"
"Calling Dr Coburn."
Susan smiled at him as he dialled the number, then held the phone to his ear.
"Hello may I speak with Dr Coburn please? Yes it's Dr Kovac. Thank you." He said as he waited patiently for her to pick up at the other end. "Hello? Yes Dr Coburn it's Dr Kovac. No nothing's wrong, it's great, but Susan and I have decided we want to know the sex.." He smiled broadly as he heard the answer. "Yes, thank you. That's great thank you very much. Good night." He replaced the receiver still smiling so much his cheeks were hurting.
"So?!" Susan said excitedly.
"It's a girl." He replied quickly, his face a lit with happiness.
"Really?! A girl? We're having a girl!" She said smiling as she hugged him tightly.
"We're having a girl." He repeated as he hugged her for everything he had, then kissed her head. "I can't wait." He said smiling as he touched her cheek.
"Me neither." She said back, gleaming with pride. They kissed again, and the night went on as both had planned.
"What makes you think that?"
"It doesn't matter. It's just me being stupid." She said, trying to brush it off, she knew she shouldn't have said anything.
"Of course it matters. If it makes you feel any better, I find you more attractive everyday I see you. If that's possible." He replied slowly, feeling hurt she felt like this.
