Chapter 10 - Trying
She gently climbed under the covers again, placing two mugs of their necessity of every morning on her bedside table. The coffee was still a little too hot, and she wanted to just look at him for a bit. Watch him sleep, like she had done these last couple of days. She chuckled at the messy bed hair he was sporting. She was pretty sure that came from the late night activities they had been occupied with only hours ago.
Feeling her fingers itch after running through his hair, she wondered if their future child would have his black mane of hair, or the dark eyes she knew was hiding under his closed, sleeping eyelids. At the same time, she prayed to god that none of their children would get Sam`s set of eyebrows, because honestly, they were like bushes. She loved it on him because he was Sam, but it would not look good on a child, that`s for sure.
His head was turned away from her, resting on his arm, and she assumed his arm was going to tingle and be all numb whenever he would wake up.
Suddenly she felt the urge to touch him. Feel his warm and tan skin underneath her hand. So she did. She started to draw patterns on his back, gentle that is.
He woke up to a pretty familiar scent - a mix of freshly brewed coffee and her. Her being the best part of course. And if there was anything he loved waking up to it was most definitely his wife. She smelled like coconut, a garden of flowers and newly plucked strawberries all at once, and he loved it.
And there was just something touching his skin, in a feathery kind of way. He liked it though, and he had a pretty good idea of what it was, drawing something on his skin.
Turning on his side, he opened his eyes and met hers. "Morning sleepyhead. I was wondering when you would wake up", she whispered as she scooted close to him. He embraced her and tugged her even closer, if possible.
"Mmmm, you smell good", he kissed against her lips. She let herself melt in his arms and was about to say something when he silent her with another kiss.
"You know what day it is today?"
He felt just a tad of panic. What the hell am I missing? It`s not her birthday, it can`t be a anniversary yet, and it`s not my birthday.
"Uh, it`s Saturday? Lazy-stay-in-bed-all-day-kind-of-day?", he tried.
"Huh, could be, but no. It`s two tings actually... A month ago today, we got married Sam", she giggled.
"Oh, sorry, I didn`t think we was supposed to celebrate monthly. Sorry", he mumbled against her bare shoulder.
"We`re not, it's just nice to acknowledge it you know..."
"I love you?", he smirked
"Aha, nice try Sam... Love you too".
"So, you said two things is today... what`s the other milestone?"
"Well... Today...", she begun, letting her hand brush across her stomach. "I start my fertile days... Which means, that... if you still want to 'impregnate' me, the next week is your first chance to do something about it".
"Really? Then let`s get started then", he said flipping them over.
"What`s with you?", Traci asked her best friend.
"Nothing...", she smirked.
"Still on your honeymoon high?", Traci teased closing her locker.
"Can you keep a secret? I quit my pills. We`re uh... definitely trying to... you know", she said lifting both her eyebrows.
"Oh my god! Really? And how`s that going?"
"Pretty well. We`re having lots of fun", she whispered. Day three of officially trying... "I know it won't happen right away, but I love the trying part", she said, wiggling her eyebrows.
"Why won`t it happen right away?"
"Trace, I`ve been on the pills for more than a decade, I`m fully aware of all the chemicals and shit they put into those pills... My body needs to regulate everything... right?"
"You never know Andy. But uh... Tell me how it goes yeah? I really need to go pick up Leo. See you tomorrow!"
When Sam heard the front door open and close, he knew she was home. Boo patted towards the hall when he heard Andy.
"Hi pup! How you doing baby?", Andy said squatting down on her knees as she scratched behind Boo`s left ear. " Where`s daddy?"
"Andy, Kitchen!", she heard.
She followed Boo and the amazing smell she felt creep up her nose as she neared the kitchen.
"I thought I was going to make dinner Sam... You didn`t have too you know" she said as she slid her arms around his waist from behind. He pulled her closer so he could kiss her. "I know", he replied against her lips. "I wanted too, I got home almost an hour ago, thought I would help you get started".
Buried in the palm of his neck, she placed a kiss on it and took in the sexy smell of him. "Mmm, you`re too good to me, you know that? Thank you baby".
"So, how was your shift?", he asked her.
"Uh! As uneventful as possible. Pretty boring too. Yours? How was court?"
"Court was okay. You know I dreaded this day, but it was oaky actually. He got fifteen years, without the possibility of early release. Thank god!"
"Missed you though", he added before she could answer.
"Really? Want to make it up too me later I suppose?"
"You bet. We have a lot of... work to do sweetheart", he smirked, letting his hand accidentally slip underneath her sweater. " So, how long before you can take one of those test?"
"Sam, I don`t want you to get your hopes up okay?... These kind of things doesn't happen right away just because we want them too. You know... I`ve been on the pill for more than a decade... Sometimes the body needs time to regulate itself..."
"I get it, but it doesn't hurt to try a little extra right? The way we`ve been going on lately, I`d say the chances are pretty great".
"Yeah, maybe you`re right, but I just don`t want us to get disappointed you know?"
"I know. Love you".
"Love you too Sam. So, when`s dinner? I`m starving?"
"Hey, I told you I help you get started... You finish it..."
"Really? Okay... then see how far that will get you tonight", she teased taking the large spoon from his firm grip.
He looked at her, big eyes and about to open his mouth.
"I`m kidding! But, you can set the table".
Sorry for the short chapter, but I have plans for the next one, and I want it to be just about the next step :)
