"I brought you some soup. I couldn't remember your favorite kind of so I made my favorite." He smiled
"Thank you." She was staring at the wall again
"Look," He sat on the bed next to her. "I'm not good at this whole talking about your feelings thing but I'm willing to try."
"Thank you but I'm fine."
"No you're not. You sit and stare at that wall for hours. Actually you lay and stare. Doesn't your shoulder hurt from you laying on it for so long?"
"I'm fine."
"Sam it's ok." He put his hand on her shoulder. "We're married, this is what married couples do, they talk about things that are upsetting them, things that are hard to talk about with other people."
She thought about rolling over, she wanted to roll over but something wouldn't let her. "It's just." She started but couldn't finish.
"Just what? Talk to me?"
"Just so hard." She finally admitted while rolling over. Her eyes were filed with tears. "This baby was OUR baby and I lost her." one tear slipped out then another. "Jack, I lost our baby." She dropped guard and let the tears flow. "I'm sorry." She was full blown crying by this point so he wrapped his arms around her and held her for a while.
"It's not your fault." He kissed her head. "We'll get through this. It'll all be ok."
She calmed down. "Janet suggested we go out for a while, maybe finish our honeymoon?" She rested her head on his shoulder.
"Sure. Where do you wanna go?"
"No wear tropical." She smiled.
"Fishing?" He raised an eyebrow, "We could go fishing."
She lifted her head and looked at him, "I'd like that."
"Really?"
"Yeah. Why?"
"Well I didn't expect you to say yes."
"Fishing sounds fun."
"Then we'll go fishing."

"We should have done this years ago." Her legs were dangling over the edge of the dock and her arms were holding a fishing pole.
"I don't wanna say 'I told you so' but-"
"How cliché." She pointed out knowing his feelings about clichés and knowing it'd stop him from saying it.
"Oh that's not fair."
"What's not fair is you get the chair and I have to sit down here."
"You could sit on my lap." He raised his eye brows up and down in a suggestive way.
"Ok." She put her pole on the dock and walked over to him. She sat on his lap sideways with both her legs on his left side and her back against his right arm then she wrapped her arms around his neck.
"Again I didn't expect you to say yes. You're just full of surprises."
"Jack?"
"Yes Sam?"
"Can we try for another baby?
"I thought you'd never ask." He smiled and she kissed him.
