Can't sleep
Jake got back from work at 8pm, he heard Melanie working up in the attic, he grabbed a beer out of the fridge and sat down to watch tv. He was still mad about what had happened that morning, how could Melanie even think that he would be interested in Star.
A few hours later Jake heard Melanie come into the room, obviously still mad too.
"You can sleep on the couch" she said to him coldly
"Fine" he replied
Just then a pillow came flying at Jake from the bedroom closely followed by a blanket.
'Great' thought Jake he was being kicked out of his bedroom for nothing.
It was 3am and Melanie had been trying to get to sleep for 4 hours now, she hadn't realized how much she had gotten used to having Jake lying beside her and now she couldn't sleep without him. Melanie crept into the living room to get a drink, she looked over at Jake who she thought was sleeping. She went over to him and knelt down beside him.
"I'm sorry" she whispered "After what I've put you through lately I don't have any right to be mad at you" she kissed his forehead and then stood up and went into the kitchen.
Jake who also couldn't sleep, had only been pretending to sleep and had heard everything Melanie had said opened his eyes and said,
"I'm sorry too"
Melanie came back into the living room and said,
"I thought you were asleep"
"I couldn't sleep I guess I got too used to having you next to me that I can't sleep without you" said Jake sitting up
"I'm sorry I shouldn't have said what I did this morning" said Melanie as she sat down next to Jake
"I'm sorry I didn't tell Star about us I was just so happy I didn't even think"
"It's okay I shouldn't be mad at you anyway I know you wouldn't do that on purpose"
"Thanks and you know I would never cheat on you"
"I know, now come to bed so we can both get some sleep"
Jake and Melanie went into their bedroom and tried to get some sleep. About half an hour later Melanie whispered
"Jake are you awake"
"Yeah" he answered "I thought you were sleeping"
"No I can't sleep" she said turning on the lamp "I forgot I had something to tell you"
"What"
"I got my very first pregnancy craving today"
"Really what was it" asked Jake excitedly
"It's gonna sound really gross, but it was pickles dipped in mayonnaise"
"Ewwww Mel that is really disgusting"
"I know but I couldn't help I wanted it and I ate the whole jar of pickles"
Jake and Melanie sat up all that night talking and planning about the future and their baby.
