Retire

Julie's POV

Adam and I arrived home after our dinner with the Ducks. "The dynasty continues." Adam told me as we cuddled up together on the sofa. "As it will next year."

"Yeah." I told him. "About next year."

"What about it?"

"I think I would like to retire." I told him calmly.

"Retire?" Adam's eyes nearly bugged out of his head. "Julie it's only been four years. You still have plenty of game in you."

"It doesn't have anything to do with that."

"Then what is it then?"

"Adam, I'm ready for us to start a family," I stated, looking him in the eyes.

"Your pregnant?" Adam smiled as he hugged me excitedly. "This is great."

"Adam."

"Why didn't you tell me sooner? When did you find out?"

"Adam."

"Are you sure you should have played tonight in your delicate condition?"

"ADAM!"

"What?" He asked, out of breath.

"I'm not pregnant."

"But you said…"

"I want to become pregnant." I told him. "I know we haven't really been intimate lately, but I've already stopped taking the pill."

"No baby?"

"Not yet." I smiled. "But I really want there to be one. What do you think?"

"I want a baby too." He answered, "but are we ready to take responsibility for another life?"

"I don't see why not." I answered. "We've grown up a lot since that first summer."

"Yeah." He smiled. "I'm just concerned."

"About what?" I asked, placing my hands on his.

"What if I'm not a good father? What if I make the same mistakes my father did with me?"

"That's not going to happen Adam. You are nothing like your father." I told him.

"Do you really think I will be a great father?" He asked.

"Of course you will." I answered. "I mean you are great with little Emily."

"You really think so?"

"Of course." I answered. "Why do you think Connie and Guy always asks us to babysit?"

"Because we'll do it for free?" He guessed.

"Besides that?" I laughed.

"I guess Emily does adore me." He smiled.

"Of course she does. And every time I see you with her, I think of what it's going to be like when we have a child of our own." I told him.

"We would have to get a bigger place." Adam stated.

"That can be arranged." I answered. "It probably wouldn't be too hard."

"We need to move into a house anyway." He answered. "We can't live in an apartment forever. It's not even an extravegant apartment."

"I'm not sure that overly extravegant fits either of our styles." I answered.

"What do you mean overly extravegant?"

"Well you do still dress like a prep." I told him honestly.

"Hey!" Adam protested. "I just want to look nice for you."

"You look hot no matter what your're wearing." I told him, as I kissed him softly. "Or not wearing." I undid the button on his jeans and he seemed surprised at my forwardness. "What do you say we start trying to make this baby?"

"Here?" He asked as I slid the zipper down.

"Uh-huh." I answered, as I started on the buttons of his shirt. "Doing it in the bedroom is highly over rated."

"It's never over rated with you." He answered before catching my lips in a passionate kiss. He gently laid me on the sofa as he started at my blouse. He threw it on the ground as I finished with his shirt. Frantically, he began working at my bra. Before I could even gather my thoughts, we had been completely stripped of our clothes.

"I love you." I told him.

"I love you, too." He told me as we finally became one. I smiled as my mind drifted off to the task at hand. Adam and I were finally going to become pregnant. What could possibly be better then this?
