Author's Note: I know you all want more, so let'sspeed upall the technical stuff. Show isn't mine, song isn't mine, and George isn't mine. You know the drill.
Nick woke up before Sara the next day after a rather passionate and ardent night together and got out of bed to get some crackers. Sara had been having really bad morning sickness lately, even worse than her first pregnancy. She was throwing up five or six times some days, so Dr. Holmes had recommended a few things to help cure it, and eating plain crackers before getting out of bed was one of them. So far, it had seemed to work pretty well. She still threw up every day, but nowhere near as much as she had before. She also slept a lot more. They never really went out anymore. It was work, home, and sleep for Sara, and Nick didn't like to leave her alone sleeping at home, so he never went out either. He was extremely protective of her after what their job had shown them could happen to sleeping women.
She woke up just as he re-entered the room and smiled at him broadly. "Mornin', beautiful," he said as he knelt on the bed, leaning over and kissing her on the cheek.
"Hi," she said. Taking the crackers from him, she said, "Thanks."
Sara had become very talented at eating crackers in bed without getting crumbs all over the place. At first, they were all over the place, but it was an art that Sara was quickly mastering.
She ate a few of them and then slowly got out of bed, hoping not to throw up. She went to shower while Nick went to go make breakfast, pancakes with strawberries as well as a grapefruit and some milk for Sara.
Since marrying Nick, Sara had become a lot more carefree, and now she sang in the shower almost everyday. Today, she happened to have Save a Horse, Ride a Cowboy stuck in her head, so that's what she sang.
Well, I walk into the room
Passing out hundred dollar bills
And it kills and it thrills like the horns on my Silverado grill
And I buy the bar a double round of crown
And everybody's getting down
An' this town ain't never gonna be the same.
'Cause I saddle up my horse
And I ride into the city
I make a lot of noise
'Cause the girls
They are so pretty
Riding up and down Broadway
On my old stud Leroy
And the girls say
Save a horse, ride a cowboy.
Everybody says
Save a horse, ride a cowboy
Nick heard her singing from the kitchen, and he got an idea. He approached the bathroom, taking off the grey t-shirt he'd been wearing as he went, leaving it in a heap on the floor as he undid his belt buckle. He entered the bathroom and started singing along with her, continuing undressing.
Well I don't give a dang about nothing
I'm singing and Bling-Blanging
While the girls are drinking
Long necks down!
And I wouldn't trade ol' Leroy
Or my Chevrolet for your Escalade
Or your freak parade
I'm the only John Wayne left in this town
He opened the shower curtain and stepped inside with her, smiling as a greeting. She had shampoo in hair, suds all over her head and running down her cheek. Nick leaned in and kissed her. The singing stopped for a minute as they kissed. He ran his fingers through her hair, taking some of the shampoo and rubbing it on his own head. She started singing again.
And I saddle up my horse
And I ride into the city
I make a lot of noise
'Cause the girls
They are so pretty
Riding up and down Broadway
On my old stud Leroy
And the girls say
Save a horse, ride a cowboy.
Everybody says
Save a horse, ride a cowboy
And ride a cowboy is what she did.
Author's Note: Again, a really short chapter, but I didn't want to put this and the last chapter together, because they didn't really go together. Like, last chapter was "The Scan" and this one is "The Shower". I mean, what would I call it if I put them together? "The Scour"? I have had this song stuck in my head for a week, and it's bugging me! So I wrote it in. Please review!
