Glimpses
Kate was sitting on a park bench on a rare day off, watching her fiancé run around like a ten year old. She laughed as he tripped and stumbled before regaining his balance and continuing to chase a few ducks around the lakeside. As he exhausted himself, Kate looked around, observing some of the other couples in the park. There was a young couple, perhaps early 20s, walking hand in hand, oblivious to the rest of the world. There was an older couple, in their 60s or 70s, sitting together on another bench. Kate watched as the man whispered something and the woman laughed, before turning her head for a brief kiss. Kate smiled, hoping that she and Rick would be that couple one day. There was another couple, about her age, sitting on a picnic rug under a tree. The woman leant back, showing off her protruding stomach, and her partner smiled tenderly at her, letting his hand tenderly touch her. Kate wondered what it would be like to be pregnant with Rick's child. She let herself get lost in thought for a while, thinking about how it would be to have Rick's child. She decided she'd quite like to have a baby with him, when the time was right. She'd focus on marrying him first. Her eyes eventually sought him out again, and by now he was sitting on the grass, smiling at her. When he noticed that she was looking at him, he beckoned her over, and patted the grass beside him. Kate stood and walked over to join him. She sat down, and leant into his side, loving the feel of his strong body.
"I love you," she murmured.
"I love you," he replied, dropping a kiss on the top of her head.
"I'm going to have your baby some day," Kate said. She felt him smile against her hair.
"I was counting on it."
Kate smiled, and decided that, for the moment, all was right with the world.
