Sitting down on the small love seat watching lifetime with her hand on her small stomach, Grace let out a deep sigh. She couldn't believe she was finally pregnant. This is what she's wanted her whole life, to have a family. And now she was finally having one.
"It's a Dream come true." Grace says to herself as she changes the channel. She sighs again as she strokes her flat stomach. She looks down at her stomach and pulls up her shirt and traces a circle around her belly button. A tear escapes her eye and travels down her flushed cheek and drips onto her stomach.
"I have life inside me." Grace whispers, suppressing a joy filled sob. She was so happy. She Married the man she always new she'd spend the rest of her life with, and she was having a baby with him. What more could she want?
Grace suddenly feels a little tired so she decides to go to her room and take a nap. She gets up from the sofa and walks to her and Will's room. She moved in there when they had gotten married. She takes of her shoes and lies on her back. She puts her hands behind her head and stares up at the ceiling, thinking about the baby and what she would name it. Well if it's a girl I'll name her Lilly…And if it's a boy…I'll let Will name him. I wonder if Will knows yet…she wonders as she suddenly drifts off into a calm and peaceful sleep.
10 minutes after Grace had fallen asleep; Will slowly opens the apartment door. He sticks his head in and scans the apartment before stepping in and closing the door behind him. Will brings the food and a bouquet of flowers he had also bought, to the kitchen. He puts the ice Cream and Pickles on the counter and begins to search for a vase to put the flowers in. He got her Lilies, Grace's favorite flowers.
"Grace!" Will calls as he bends down and fishes out a vase from under the sink cabinet. No one answers. Will puts the flowers in the vase and brings them with him as he checks his bedroom. Sure enough there's his beloved Grace peacefully sleeping on the bed. Will Tip toes over to the bed and places the flowers on the night stand. He remembers the Ice Cream and Pickles and silently leaves the room to fetch them. A minute later will returns with his load on a tray. The ice cream, in a bowl with 2 spoons sticking out of it and a pickle, on a small plate on the side. Will walks over and places the tray on the night stand and slowly sits on the bed next to Grace. He leans over and kisses her softy on the cheek. She stirs.
Grace opens her eyes and turns over from her scrunched up position and looks up at Will.
"Hi sweetie, I brought you your…odd desire," Will Says lifting the tray to show Grace. Grace Sits up and pats the spot next to her. Will kicks off his shoes and swings his feet up onto the bed and movies in next to her. The both pull out a spoon and eat silently for a few minutes. It wasn't an acquired silence, though. But a comfortable one the often have and are now used to.
Grace puts down her spoon, licks her lips and picks up the pickle where she bites off a huge chunk. She chews and happily and swallows. She senses Will's eyes on her and turns her head towards him where she gives him a small smile. Not a word was said.
Will finishes his last bite of Ben & Jerry's and puts an arm around Grace. She leans into him as they lie back on the pillows. She puts her head on his chest and he puts his head on top of hers. Will closes his eyes and Grace sighs deeply, her head rising and falling as Will breaths. She slips a hand under his shirt and rubs his chest and he plays with a strand of her amazing red hair. Grace sits up for a second and looks at Will with a smile. He leans and kisses her deeply on the lips, both hands clutching her face. They brake apart but his hands still linger on her face, stroking her cheek. He kisses her on the forehead and they resume there previous position. This time, Will lets out a deep sigh and breaks the comfortable silence,
"So I was thinking…we should turn your old room into the baby's room."
Grace Smiles to herself, "I'm already way ahead of you."
