Martin sidled into Sue's office, and sat down quietly, slightly scared about what she might do.
"Weeeeell what can I do for you today, pixie-boy?" She let out an exaggerated yawn, and shoved her tummy forwards, so that Martin could clearly see her very-pregnant stomach. Martin looked up and opened his mouth as wide as it would go, in shock. She couldn't have that long until the baby was due.
"You want a dentist's appointment? You don't need to ask me for that? Or you want a pull? Eurgh, no thank you Martin, I'm saving myself for one man only…"
"Umm.. no… I wanted to re-take my exams… I think I'm ready now…"
Sue leaned forwards and began to kiss Martin, nearly eating his face off. She sat down, looking sheepish, but smiling insanely at him.
"Oh, sorry Martin, I don't know what overcame me… must be the nesting instincts…" Sue pulled out her pregnancy book, and flicked the pages. She was soon absorbed in it again. After an hour or two, she looked over the edge of the page to see Martin still sat there, in shock.
"Go."
Martin stood up, and sidled out again.
Guy opened the front door of Caroline's house, and leant against the doorway as he saw Caroline. He couldn't see her face, but he could see her shaking shoulders, and he could i definitely /i hear the noise; he could tell how much pain she was in.
He sat down next to her with trepidation, and put his arm around her, trying to comfort her in any way possible. He was furious at Mac for making her like this. Caroline looked up at him, and then looked down in disgust. She then moved her head ever so slightly upwards, and then turned to face Guy again. She looked at him deep in the eyes, as if trying to fathom him out. He looked into her eyes, and thanked the lord he was sitting down, or else he would have fallen over. Caroline slowly leaned into him, pulling him closer to her by his collar, and kissing him softly.
She then pulled away, looking at Guy's face, to see whether what she had done was completely wrong. His eyes were still closed. He opened them slowly. Caroline couldn't tell what she felt – her emotions were so mixed, but she got the feeling that what she was about to do was generally good. She pulled his collar close to her, and paused. Guy leaned in the last centimetre and kissed her with all the passion he could muster. He let his hands wander all over her face, through her hair, and around her back, pulling her closer into him. He lay her down on the floor, and lay above her. She ran her fingers through his hair, and around his back, pulling him closer into her. She rested both hands on his cheeks as he pulled away. He lay down next to her, cuddling her and stroking her hair as she fell asleep. He didn't want to take advantage of her if that wasn't how she felt. He had done that once before, and, special as he had found it, he knew that it hadn't been right. Caroline just needed comforting right now.
