Chapter 2

Shayne laid awake watching Dinah sleep, she looked so peaceful and content just lying there with her hand up by her chin. She liked to hog the covers and most nights he fought her for them. But tonight when he was still on a happiness high, he just thought it was cute. He couldn't believe he was going to be a father. Well technically he already was a father but he hadn't been there when Henry was born and for that he felt bad. But this time he would be there for everything when the baby was born, the first time he or she walked and talked and he would be there with Dinah by his side.

Dinah awoke with Shayne's head on her belly, he was whispering to the baby and she couldn't help but smile as she reached down to stroke his head. "You do know the baby can't hear you yet, right?" She said teasingly.
"How do you know?" He asked sitting up to look at her.
"Because I was pregnant before and babies don't start to hear until eighteen weeks."
"Wait you were pregnant before?" Shayne asked to clarify.
"Yeah twice actually, I miscarried." Dinah replied sadly.
"Wow, sweetie I'm so sorry." Shayne replied pulling her into a hug.
"Shayne what if I lose this baby?" Dinah replied grabbing her stomach.
"No sweetheart, don't think like that. You have to be positive and believe that our baby will make it."
"Yeah," Dinah replied wiping at the tears in her eyes as Shayne kissed her cheek. "I'm afraid to get attached to this baby, if I lost it…"
"Sweetie…" Shayne interrupted.
"Shayne the last time I was pregnant I made it to six months before I miscarried and I loved that baby, she was my daughter. I named her Laura. I don't think I could go through that again." Dinah cried tears streaming down her face.
"Oh sweetie, come here." Shayne said pulling her onto his lap as he held her rocking her a little until she finally stopped crying.
"I'm sorry," Dinah replied trying to pull herself together.
"You don't have to apologize; I want you to tell me how you feel. How else can I try to make it better?"
"No I'm a real downer, I mean we find out were having a baby and this should be a happy time but…"
"You're just scared and you're allowed to be, baby."
"Man, how did I get so lucky?" Dinah replied as she leaned in to give Shayne a kiss.
"I don't know how did you?" Shayne asked jokingly before she could kiss him which made her grab a pillow off the bed and smack him with it.
"Ouch that hurt." Shayne said with a laugh, glad that she was finally feeling better.
"A pillow hurts you?" Dinah said laughing as Shayne picked up a pillow and gently hit her with it.

After their pillow fight had ended Dinah was starving, "Are you hungry?" Dinah asked as she was about to get up off the bed.
"Yeah, let's get something to eat. We need to feed our baby." Shayne said as he reached down to touch her still flat belly.
"Yeah, well the baby wants Chinese food," Dinah said placing her hand over his.
"Are you sure it's not you who wants Chinese food?" Shayne asked with a laugh.
"I think it's both of us. The baby must have acquired my wonderful taste."
"Your wonderful taste, hah." Shayne replied as he grabbed Dinah's coat for her before they headed out the door.

Shayne watched as Dinah put away more food than he had ever seen her eat before she was usually a light eater. "Wow the baby must have been hungry," Shayne said taking a bite of his rice.
"Shut up," Dinah replied around a mouthful of food.
"I'm only joking baby." Shayne laughed.
