Jing-Mei watched Greg as he set up the computer in the office. She smiled softly biting her lip. He looked over his shoulder.

"What's on your mind?" He asked. Jing-Mei smiled.

"Something…. Something yeah." Jing-Mei smiled at him.

"Something? What is that something?" Greg looked at her.

"Well," Jing-Mei took his hand and put it on her stomach, "I'm late." Greg stared at her. A smile spread across his face.

"You're late as in….late?" He asked her. Jing-Mei nodded.

"A month late." She smiled. Greg's eyes widened as he stood up.

"Oh my god!" he grabbed her by her waist and hugged her tightly. "Oh my god! Have you taken a test yet?"

"No. I wanted to do it with you." Jing-Mei said.

"This is so great!!" He cried, "A girl. We're having a girl and naming her Portia." Jing-Mei smiled softly and nodded.

"That's perfect." She chuckled. Greg hugged her again. He couldn't truly express how happy he was right now.

"God, I love you so much, Jing-Mei." He whispered. Jing-Mei closed her eyes. She could feel his heart beating against her chest. "I didn't think it'd happen this quickly, but glad it did."

"Me too." She laughed. Greg leaned down and kissed her.

"Thank you so much." He said against her lips.

"Greg, I still need to test." Jing-Mei said softly. Greg shrugged.

"Are you ever late?" He asked. Jing-Mei shook her head.

"No." She chuckled.

"Then good." Greg pushed her hair off of her face. He sighed with happiness; "This is so wonderful." Jing-Mei smiled.

"Let me take the test to be sure." She said. Greg nodded and kissed her forehead.

"Okay." They walked to the bathroom. "I'll wait out here." Jing-Mei chuckled softly.

"Thank you." She walked into the bathroom and grabbed the pregnancy off of the shelf. Last time she peed on a stick, Michael was created. She smiled as she did it. She missed the feeling over a human being growing inside of her. She couldn't describe how that feeling was. Jing-Mei placed the test on the sink.

"Everything okay in there?" He asked through the door. Jing-Mei chuckled.

"Just waiting now." She said.

"Good." Greg paced back and forth. Jing-Mei stared at her watch. The minute hand went so slowly. She took in a deep breath. The tie was up. She grinned brightly and picked up the pregnancy test. Her face fell. It was negative.

"Oh god." She whispered. The test was negative. Greg was just outside that door thinking he was becoming a father.

"Did you get the results?" He asked. She took in a deep breath and opened the bathroom door. Greg was grinning from ear to ear. "Well?" Jing-Mei's lips quivered. Greg stared at her, "Oh god…"

"I'm so sorry…I th-thought I was." She said. Greg walked back down the hallway. He felt like someone had kicked him in the stomach. He growled with anger and kicked the box containing the dishes across the kitchen. Jing-Mei jumped.

"This isn't fucking fair!" He hissed. Jing-Mei's lips trembled as she walked closer to him.

"This is all my fault. I'm so sorry." She whispered.

"What's so wrong about wanting a family?" He asked her.

"Absolutely nothing, Greg. I want to give you children. I want to make you happy." She said. Greg's face softened as he looked at her.

"You do make me happy." He sighed. "I was just…really hoping this was our time to have a baby." He said.

"Soon, Greg. I promise." She said wrapping her arms around his waist. He hugged her back. Okay, maybe he had over reacted but he had been extremely excited to become a father just fifteen minutes ago. His time would come eventually.

Finally they had finished unpacking. Their house felt like their house. It was just theirs. They were setting up roots and that excited the couple.

"We should put a pool in the backyard for all the baby Pratts." Greg said flipping through a Sears catalog. Jing-Mei nodded.

"I could handle that." She mumbled from her collection of Shakespeare works. Greg looked up at her and grinned. He shook his head.

"We should walk around naked and jump off the roof into a vat of green Jell-O." Greg said. Jing-Mei nodded.

"Yeah. That sounds good." She mumbled. Greg laughed and smacked her leg.

"You weren't paying attention to what I was saying." He said. Jing-Mei sighed and closed the book.

"I'm sorry. What was that?" She looked at him.

"I want a pool to put in the back yard." He said. Jing-Mei nodded.

"That's a good idea." She said, "Was that all?"

"Yeah." Greg nodded, "What are you reading?" Jing-Mei laughed.

"What do you really want, Greg?" She asked. Greg's eyes twinkled. "OH no…Not that!" Greg nodded.

"We haven't christened the back yard yet." He said. Jing-Mei blushed deeply.

"Outside? Greg, we cant." She giggled.

"Why not? Our closes neighbors are like a mile away." He said.

"We'll get grass where we don't want it." She smiled. "We'll get a sunburn where we don't want it either."

"But it sounds fun doesn't it?" Greg asked her. She thought about it for a moment and then nodded slowly, "That's my girl."

"My mother would freak out if she knew what we were doing."

"Who cares. So would mine." Greg laughed as he pulled Jing-Mei up. Her eyes sparkled with anticipation. Sex outside, very nice.

"We won't be able to do this when we have kids." She said.

"When they are away sleeping over someone else's house we can." He said pulling her outside. Jing-Mei laughed softly.

"You're completely nuts, Greg." She said.

"And yet you're still marrying me." He said pulling a blanket off of the clothesline.

"I just don't want to give this rock back." She said softly.

"Funny." He laid the blanket out, "See? No grass in our asses." Jing-Mei laughed loudly.

"You're a poet and didn't even know it." She smiled.

"Funny. Sometimes I wonder why I'm marrying you." He said

"My ass. You know you can get it whenever you want."

"You've got that right." Greg grabbed her by her waist and pulled her tightly against his body. Jing-Mei wrapped her arms around his neck. Greg started to kiss her neck. Jing-Mei purred.

"This is a very good idea." She mumbled.

"I knew you'd like it." He said as they kneeled to the ground.

"You know I love sex." She chuckled. Jing-Mei lay down on the blanket and looked up at her fiancée. He nodded.

"Oh so much." He said running his hand down her body. She groaned loudly. He always had the way of turning her on fully. If this was how their engagement was. She would be happy to see how exciting and hot their marriage would be.
