pg 11

After dinner was through she collected the plates and taking her drink she walked into the living room with him. Setting her water down on the table she took his hand and changed the music on the stereo to something slower. Finding it she turned it up as she turned he was standing there with open arms waiting for her she walked over to him and put her arms around him and got as close as she could with the baby between them.

All those months of sitting in prison, he had remembered dancing with her, having her close, in sync with one another, mind, heart and body, And he would never forget the night they danced in the rain on the rooftop that would forever be etched in his mind.

Pulling away from him she looked up at him then rested her head back on him and continued to dance through the end of the music.

"Why did you look at me like that?"

"I wanted to make sure this was real."

"Oh this is real baby, I am never leaving you again, ever Sam."

"I'm so tired Jason, I didn't sleep much while you were gone, tears and heartbreak occupied my days and especially my nights away from you."

"Yeah, I know Dr. Meadows gave me the update, Sam if something happens to this baby I will never forgive myself."

"You didn't know Jason; you had no idea that I was pregnant."

"You were never going to let me know were you?"

"No." She whispered to him as she turned away.

"I have really hurt you haven't I?"

"Yes." She said as her eyes filled with tears. " I need to go to sleep." She said not wanting to go there with him right now.

"Well come on I will get you situated."

"No, I want to sleep on the couch." She said pulling the blanket off the back of it she lay down and closed her eyes as he watched her. She was so beautiful but right now he was more determined than ever to win her back, all of her, not just pieces of her. Leaning down he kissed her cheek " I love you Sam, I know I never told you enough, but everyday for the past 6 months I prayed that one day I would be able to tell you that. I will never take you or our love for granted again." He said to her. Leaning over he kissed her stomach then got up and turned off the light making his way up the stairs to their room.
