The Darkest Hour
Chapter 8: I'll Stand By You
That morning at around two-thirty, Joseph woke up to Clarisse's screams.
"Clarisse, what's wrong?"
"I…don't…k…know."
Joseph pulled up the covers and looked down by Clarisse's legs and saw nothing.
'Thank God'
He said to himself.
"Joseph, it is too early for the baby to come. Way too early. Call the doctor."
Joseph agreed that would be the best thing to do so he got out of bed and called the doctor and Dr. Nash said he would be right over.
"Well, Clarisse, you have nothing to worry about. Sometimes pregnant women can get a cramp of some sort and it just feel extremely worse than normal. It may have been a menstrual cramp, just you won't bleed because your pregnancy. You have nothing to worry about. Like I said, this baby is in the utmost healthy position."
Clarisse became a little more eased. The doctor turned back to the couple and began to speak again.
"Just be sure to take extremely good care of yourself, eat healthy and eat enough, and please stay hydrated. You aren't just taking care of your health now, now you have the care of a small child to care for as well. They feed off of everything you eat, so be sure you keep the baby's best interest in mind when you eat, drink, or anything else for that matter."
The couple thanked the doctor the best they could and they went back to bed. That next morning, Clarisse walked downstairs simply glowing.
"Why Clarisse, you look absolutely astonishing! Are you…? Glowing? Ma'am, what have you been up to lately?"
Charlotte asked very suspiciously. Clarisse never lost her smile. It was absolutely radiant. Charlotte walked around the older woman very slowly, noting everything about her appearance, smile, look, hair, even her nails. She noticed she was wearing a new smell of perfume. Chanel No. 5, that was a perfume she hadn't wore in quiet a while.
"Ma'am, is that Chanel No. 5? What is with your new scent?"
"Oh Charlotte, don't make such a fuss! But I do have something I need to tell you."
Charlotte acted as if she didn't know what Clarisse had to tell her, but she knew, oh did she know!
"Alright, let's go into your office. We can talk privately in there."
The two ladies walked very briskly to Clarisse's office. Well, Charlotte ran, to keep up with Clarisse. She could be quite a fast walker when she wanted to be.
"Charlotte please, take a seat."
Charlotte sat in the same seat she sat in when Joe told her the news. Charlotte's smile increased to a sizeable grin; confusing Clarisse.
"Charlotte, I haven't even told you the news yet, what in the world are you smiling for?"
"Oh, alright, I can't tell a lie. Joe already told me about your…pregnancy."
Charlotte whispered the last word, for fear Clarisse would fly off the handle, but she just simply smiled, somewhat amused. She figured he would.
"So that's what the doctor pulled him out of the room for…That sly ba-"
Clarisse's statement was interrupted by Joseph's knocking.
"Come in."
Was Clarisse's words. She stood up when she saw her husband walk in looking very indulgent in a black leather jacket with a tight black muscle shirt that plainly revealed his chiseled chest, with a pair of black leather pants, that didn't hide Joe's generous supply, Clarisse shook those thoughts from her head.
"Did you need something, my dear?"
Clarisse asked, batting her eyelashes. She knew that drove Joseph insane, and she loved to tease. Joseph walked up to his wife and pulled her close and whispered in her ear:
"You tease"
Clarisse blushed along with Charlotte. The younger lady cleared her throat and Joseph let his wife out of his arms and Clarisse affirmed Charlotte that she was pregnant and that she was free to go. Charlotte left the office and secretly locked the door behind her, leaving the two lovers wrapped up in each other's arms.
"So my lovely tease of a wife, what do you have planned to do today?"
Joseph asked, giving her small, butterfly kisses to her neck and earlobes; producing a small moan of want from Clarisse.
"I had planned to attend a few meetings today, but those aren't important to me. Did you have something you wanted us to do?"
"Oh, no just hang out, if you wanted to. Maybe go out on the town, see a movie, or shop."
Clarisse just nodded and gave him a passionate kiss and felt his happiness on her thigh.
"Joseph, I think you may need a cold shower, love."
She whispered in his ear; nibbling it a bit.
"Yes, because I am stuck watching you walk around all day in those sexy heels of yours. You know they make your hips and bum sway."
Clarisse just chuckled as she grabbed his hand and they went upstairs to their suite.
After they opened the door, Clarisse got undressed and got into bed while Joseph got into the shower, after a few minutes, Clarisse decided to go in and surprise him. She walked into the bathroom, and opened the glass door a little and pinched his bum. Joseph, being surprised from her actions, jumped and yelped.
"Clarisse, you scared me. What are you doing?"
He asked, as she started to climb over the tub. She got in front of him and slid the door closed. She put her hands on his chest, and kissed his neck all the way down to his stomach, playing with what hair he had left on his head. She pulled herself up to kiss his lips again, but then made her way further south of his stomach. His breath hitched when she touched 'that spot' and he put his hand on her head and pulled her up.
"Are you sure…?"
She just nodded and went back to what she was doing before.
"Clarisse…Stop. I need you."
And with that command, the couple then found themselves again, making love in the shower. Again, one of the best nights, Joseph had ever had.
