Chapter 2 - Talking
"Jason, I am out of shape." Elizabeth said as she fell onto the bed. She moved her head to Jason's bare chest. He wrapped his arms around her petite form.
"And why do you say that?" He asked.
"The kids. They are so young and full of energy and my bones and joints hurt." She laughed at her own words.
"Oh you are fine," he assured her.
She sighed then went up and gave him a gentle kiss on the lips. He loosened his grip on her. "Fine, night Jason."
"Hey wait, are you really that tired?" He asked her.
She sat up and gave him a questioning look. What was on his mind? "What? I can't go to sleep yet?"
Jason shook his head, "I was hoping you would want to talk to me. You say we never get the chance to do that anymore. Well here is the time."
She smiled at her husband, Jason was so good to her. "I can't help it. I do want to tell you I am having a blast taking care of the kids. It's nice watching you play with them. You will make a wonderful father someday."
Jason reached for her hand, he smiled and moved in for a kiss. She giggled when his arms slid around her. "You will be a great mother, you know that right?"
She blushed, "Jason I-I don't know about that but I am sure you will be teaching me a lot once we have kids."
Jason looked at her, she had said "when" that meant there was the chance and option. He thought about it and decided to press the subject further to see where it led. Hopefully somewhere good.
"And when do you want to have children?" Jason bluntly asked her.
Elizabeth cleared her throat and sat up with her back against the headboard. She wasn't sure what to say, sure she had wanted kids with Jason and always thought they would have them. She never set an actual date, it didn't seem like something to important, but it was. She turned to Jason, "I never thought about when to be honest."
"I want a big family. You have to say what you want," he said.
She nodded, "I want that too, I mean I love kids and so do you so I want a big family maybe 4 or 5 kids?"
"Yeah, me too." He agreed.
"Well we have been married for two years and I would love to have a baby this time next year." Elizabeth told him.
He nodded, I would love that too. It is up to you in the end."
"Or we could adopt." She suggested, searching for a reaction in Jason's eyes.
"You want to adopt?" He questioned her.
She shrugged her shoulders, "there are a lot of children out there that need good homes. We have the kind of home that they need."
"Yes we do," he said.
"You think I am totally crazy, just forget about it," she told him.
"Oh no, I don't think that at all. I am actually seeing your point and I think you have a good idea. We can provide for a child and it would be good, besides we are young, we have all the time to make babies of our own." He told her as he kissed her cheek.
"Yeah," she let out a yawn. Jason turned off the lamp light and sighed, "we can talk about this tomorrow."
"Okay, hey Jase?"
"Yeah?" He answered.
She snuggled up to him once again. "I love you."
"I love you too, now lets get some sleep otherwise you will never make it with the kids." He teased her which gave him a gentle smack on the chest.
"Good night hun," she whispered between her yawns.
"Night Elizabeth," Jason kissed the top of her head.
Jason watched his beautiful wife sleep. She was the love of his life. The best thing by far that has happend to him. And possibly soon, he would be sharing her with their child. It was an amazing feeling. He could not imagine it. Jason would be a father, to his own child and no one would be able to take it away. He felt sleep overtake him so he finally rested his head on the pillow with his arms wrapped protectively around Elizabeth's waist.
Okay I am not sure where I am going with this story, I don't know if I should make them adopt or have a baby of their own. Your input is greatly appreciated, otherwise I am not sure I will be updating soon. I need to think about this. Reviews would be helpful! Thanks!
