Chapter 23: First Anniversary

July 14, 2003

I woke up in the morning to the smell of eggs and Belgian waffles. Then I realized something, it was mine and Kevin's first wedding anniversary. I got out of bed and walked to the kitchen and I gasped. Kevin was flipping the eggs in nothing but an apron.

"Wow I wish you'd cook like this for me all the time," I said.

"I knew you'd like me cooking for you in nothing but an apron," Kevin said walking over to me. He grabbed me around the waist which sent chills running up and down my back.

"Maybe we should eat first or else the food will burn," I said breathlessly.

"Darn. You're right. Just hold that thought okay?" Kevin said as I nodded. We ate breakfast first then we had some foreplay fun in the bedroom.

The rest of the day was spent in Jersey with my family celebrating our first anniversary together with a spaghetti dinner made by Judy. Gloria and Danny were invited over with Aaron.

As we were eating Aaron got up and went over to where Gloria was sitting. He was tugging on her clothes.

"Aaron, what is it?" Gloria asked.

"Can I tell them Mommy? Please?" Aaron asked.

"You mean about the baby? Sure!" Gloria said.

"Okay everyone! I'm going to have a baby sister!" Aaron said as Cammie and I squealed and went over to hug Gloria. But I felt kind of sad knowing that it's going to take forever for me to feel that way.

Kevin noticed my sadness, went over to me and whispered something into my ear. I excused us away from the table and we went into the backyard and sat on the swings outside.

"Vi, is the fact that Danny and Gloria are having another baby that's bothering you?" Kevin asked me.

"Yes and the fact that it's taking forever for us to have one of our own!" I cried burying my head in my hands.

"Violet don't cry, please!" Kevin said taking my face in his hands and wiping away a tear from my eye with his thumb.

"I'm sorry, it's just every day I think that today's the day I find out I'm pregnant and that day never comes and I get so frustrated that..." I trailed off.

"I know baby, I do too. But we can't give up we have to keep on trying," Kevin said.

"You're right. I'm sorry I just got emotional, that's all. Let's go back inside." I said as we went inside. Gloria came to check on us. I ran up to her and gave her a hug and whispered I'm okay to her. She nodded and smiled.

A few hours later we went back to the city and went straight to bed, exhausted and tired, ready to start fresh tomorrow.
