05. Elated
The morning was spent making lazy love and basking in all of the wonderful memories of the night before. She pulled him closer as he kissed her bare shoulder, and he was certain that as he held her, it couldn't get any better than this...except it did. She led him downstairs to the kitchen where he made her chocolate pancakes that almost burned because he was still awestruck by the way she kept looking at him.
"What's that smile for," he asked her? "I mean, not that I mind but..."
"You know me too well cowboy...and I'll tell you...but right now I just want to watch my man make me breakfast."
"And you enjoy that," he questioned?
"Probably as much as you enjoy watching me sleep."
"Busted," he thought but instead of saying anything, he simply smiled at her. When breakfast was ready, she sat on his lap and let him stuff her mouth with the pancakes. It was one of the things they still enjoyed immensely...loving each other like crazy kids.
She was sure he was going to ask her what she was so happy about but she should have known better...He would wait until she was ready. That moment came after they spent a few moments kissing on the counter and almost forgetting that the curtains were left open.
"You inspire me daily," he said. "I can't help myself."
"I hope you never stop," she agreed. "Especially now..."
"Now?"
"Now that I'm pregnant."
She waited for his response as she searched his eyes...they seemed to be filled with the same kind of joy.
"You...You're really pregnant," he questioned?
She cupped his face with her hands, kissing him softly as she looked at him. "I would never lie to you about that again...you and I are going to be parents again. Against all odds, we seem to have created a miracle."
"Oh baby," he said, kissing her hard and deep as he lifted her off the ground. "Oh baby, you just made me the happiest man in the world." She giggled enthusiastically as he spun her around, their lips connecting once more in a fiery kiss that left them wanting more.
"So go make me the happiest woman alive before I have to go walk back into that war zone I call an office."
"Your wish is my command," he whispered against her ear as he carried her back up the stairs. She pulled him down onto their bed just as he laid her down.
"Now that has all kinds of possibilities," she joked, as she shifted her hips in just that way he liked and soon she was taking control once again. God he loved this woman. She was everything between the perfect storm and the perfect day. He would never, ever get enough of her.
