Chapter 22

Okay same old shit just a different day…I just found out I am pregnant…so I guess I get to tell Paul…I mean unless he's recently acquired some abnormal psychic powers and could possibly know before I tell him. Nah…I doubt it. It seems like every time I have something to say to Paul he's always down in the gym…damn bad memories radiate there…and I'm extremely apprehensive about telling him I'm pregnant this time. I mean I realize it was one year to the day that I told Paul about my first pregnancy, and remembering what happened and what had taken place is still weighting pretty damn heavy in the back of my mind. So here goes nothing…again.

I walk into the gym, and this time Paul had Mark and Trish by him both working out also…I walked up and said, "Hey guys." Paul leaned over, grabbed my hand and pulled me down and gave me a kiss, and then resumed his reps. Trish said, "Michelle are feeling okay, you are looking really pale.." I said, "Well, I was a little sick for the last couple of mornings…" Trying to hint around to Paul, but him being the typical male, didn't get the drop off on the hint and just continued his reps…he is always pretty focused when he's working out.

Trish looked at me, and squinted her eyes at me…I winked at her, and she knew immediately what was going on…she jumped to her feet, and grabbed Mark's arm and said, "C'mon honey…I need to go get something and I need your help." Mark said, "Get what?" She was trying to think of something quick and said, "Water." Mark said, "Babe I know you're short but you're not so short that you need me to lift you up to the water fountain…just go grab a bottle, I'll wait for you."

Trish gave the puppy dog eyes and said, "Mark, please…pretty please." Mark saw the look on his wives face and said, "Okay, how can I say no to that face?" Trish said, "You can't and didn't." They took off and she was walking behind him shoving him out the door…Mark said, "Babe what's going on.." She said, "I'll tell you later, shut up and get out." Trish swatted Mark on the ass, and kept shooing him out the door.

Paul heard the commotion and looked at me and said, "What the hell was that all about?" I said, "She was trying to get Mark to move a little faster, but it didn't look like it was working too good…" Paul said, "You have something you need to tell me?" I said, "Sort of, why, how can you tell?" He said, "I always know…I can tell by the look in your eyes…so talk to me."

 I walked over and moved the weights from his hands and said, "I want your undivided attention, no weights, no work out…no friends blabbing in our ears…no distractions of any kind…" I moved around and sat straddled on his lap…Paul said, "You said no distractions…you should probably get off my lap…cause you're my only distraction…besides you know exactly what that does to me when you sit on my lap like that…"

I smiled and said, "Yea, I get your full attention when I sit like this on your lap…but it's only because you're usually too busy looking down my shirt…" Paul laughed a little evil and put his index finger down the front of my tank top, in between my boobs and pulled it out a little, looked down my shirt and said, "Packing some heavy artillery, aren't you?"

I said, "Married to a pervert. That's what my tombstone will say when I die…" Paul grinned and said, "So what's up gorgeous?" I said, "Well…I guess I should just tell you right? I mean I can't hide it forever…" Paul looked at me weird and said, "Hide what?" I said, "The belly…it's getting bigger…after all I'm already 2 months…" Paul looked down between us and then looked back up at me with a huge smile on his face and said, "You're pregnant?" I said, "Well it's either that or I'm going to be getting fat for no reason…hmmm, maybe it's my thyroid." Paul said, "Are you serious, you're gonna have a baby? When did you find out?"

I said, "This morning."
