"So what are you making?" Harm asked coming into the kitchen. Abi had
finished her bottle and had fallen asleep.
"Risotto." Mac replied. "I felt like stirring something. Where is Abi?"
"Asleep."
"So are you going to call Trish?" Mac asked.
"She won't be back from the gallery yet." Harm replied. "Time difference."
"I know."
"What kind of risotto?" Harm asked looking over her shoulder.
"Tomato." Mac replied. "It's all vegetarian."
"Good." Harm wrapped an arm around her and let his hand settle on her stomach, he put the other hand on top of hers. "Let me help." He dropped a kiss on the side of her neck.
"I don't think you and I have the same definition of helping." Mac said.
"But my definition is more fun."
"Probably but you forgot to take two things into account."
"And what are they?"
"I'm pregnant and I'm hungry."
"Okay." Harm started to step away.
"Don't move, this feels nice." Mac put a hand on his arm around her stomach. "Besides I'm not saying no, I'm just saying wait until after I've eaten and Abi is in bed."
"I can handle that." Harm kissed her neck again. Mac turned around and kissed him.
"And after you have called Trish." Mac added.
"She can wait to find out she is going to be a grandmother again." He kissed her again.
"Harm." Mac groaned. "Move." She clamped her hand over mouth and ran to the bathroom.
"I guess the morning sickness finally struck." Harm muttered turning down the heat on the risotto and covering it before going after Mac. "Sarah honey, are you okay?"
"No."
"It'll be alright." Harm said rubbing her back.
"You try being pregnant." Mac said. "Then tell me everything will be alright."
"You know I would if I could." Harm replied.
"No you wouldn't." Mac retorted. "Men would die at the sign of period cramps, sure they would enjoy the getting pregnant part but after that they wouldn't cope."
"Probably." Harm agreed.
"What did you do with my risotto?" Mac asked.
"I turned the heat down and put the lid on it."
"Go and finish cooking it I'm still hungry." Mac said.
"I thought you would have lost your appetite."
"No. I'll be down in a minute. I just need to wash up."
"Okay." He dropped a kiss on her forehead. "Yell if you need me."
"Will do."
"This is really good." Mac said as she ate.
"It would probably be better if you didn't wolf it down." Harm remarked.
"I'm so hungry." Mac thought for a second and got up and went to the fridge and pulled out a carton of yoghurt. She poured some into a bowl as Harm watched her slightly confused. But not commenting. Mac put the carton back in the fridge and walked back over the table. She put her fork in the risotto and then in the yoghurt and then put it in her mouth. Harm cringed. "What?" Mac asked looking at her face.
"Nothing."
"They put natural yoghurt with rice dishes all the time."
"But that's strawberry." Harm pointed out.
"Same difference. Do we have any taco shells?" Mac asked.
"Yes. Cupboard above the cutlery drawer." Harm replied. Mac went and got the shells. Loaded it up with risotto and then covered it in yoghurt and bit into it.
"Perfect."
"If you say so."
"Do you want to try some?"
"No, I'm okay with just plain risotto thanks."
"If you say so." Mac smiled.
