"Hey" Maureen said coming out of the bedroom "No morning sickness today" she jumped onto the couch on her knees.
Benny put down the morning paper. "That's great babe" he smiled. She kissed him. When they pulled away he noticed what she was wearing. She had on a light blue top that showed off her prized pregnancy cleavage perfectly that said "Knocked Up" in white letters and a short white maternity skirt. "That's really classy Maureen" he said
"I know right? I felt it was appropriate" she grinned as Benny put his hand on her stomach. He loved to feel the baby kick. Surprisingly, Benny was turning out to be quite the father. He would do anything for Maureen now. "Don't you love to feel your baby girl kick?" she asked smirking as she said girl. The doctor had, much to Maureen's delight, confirmed that they were having a girl.
"Yes, yes Maureen, I know we are having a girl, don't rub it in"
She pouted and moved to startle him. She put her knees on either side of his legs. "Aww, Benny, you are going to love girl Riley just as much as you would love boy Riley."
Benny ran his hands up under her skirt just a little. "Oh babe, you can't tease me like that." He licked his lips.
"Who said I'm teasing?" she gave him a sexy pout and he leaned up to kiss her. Just as their lips were about to touch, the phone rang. "Damn it" Benny groaned as she pushed him back on the couch. Leaning over, her cleavage fell right in view of his face.
"Hello?" Maureen asked picking up the phone.
"Hi Maureen, its Collins" he said. Benny gave her a small slap on her ass, as she was on her knees, leaning over in a skirt. "I know" she said now trying to stop her boyfriend's wandering hands. "What's up?"
"Can I come over?" She shook her head at Benny as he used one finger to pull down her thong panties. "Collins wants to come over" she told Benny covering the mouth piece of the phone.
"Do you want to have sex?" he asked her. Maureen crinkled her nose "Sex" she laughed "If you two are fucking I can call back later" she heard Collins say through the phone. "Oh Collins, no, no, we're not" she said and Benny groaned with sexual frustration throwing his head back on the couch. "Good, I'll be over in a few minutes. I have big news to tell you." She hung up the phone.
"Get off" she said hopping of the couch and pulling up her panties. "Come on, lets have a quickie before he comes over" Benny said pulling her onto his lap by her hips. "Benny, as much as I would love to have sex with you right now, you know we can't" "Please I'm so horny" he whispered to her in a low voice. "No, baby I'm sorry" she touched his cheek. "Come feed me"
"This is so gross; I'm not going to cook for you anymore." Benny said turning off the stove top. "You are going to lean how to cook" he handed her a grilled cheese and peanut butter and salami sandwich.
"It's Riley, she wants it" Maureen said taking a bite. The sound of the elevator opening came into the kitchen. "They're here!" she grinned and hopped off the counter and ran to the door. "Hey Collins" she smiled as she opened the door.
She then saw the person who was standing next to Collins. It was a man; he was about 6'1 with light pale skin, short blonde hair, and brilliant blue eyes.
"Hi" Maureen smiled as Benny walked over to the door.
"Maureen, this is Luis" Collins gestured to the man standing next to him. "He's my husband" Maureen's jaw dropped. "Husband?" she smiled and hugged Collins.
"So we met at MIT" Collins said as they all sat down "But it wasn't really anything" Luis said holding Collins's hand "But I came to New York to find him" he went on. "One thing led to another and we got married"
Maureen beamed "That's so romantic!" she said wiping a hormonal pregnancy tear out of her eye.
"So Luis, I'm sorry, but do you have AIDS?" Benny asked.
"Ben!" Maureen said hitting the man whose lap she was relaxed in on the thigh. "You can't ask someone that!"
Luis laughed "Um, no, Boston isn't really a hot bed of HIV, so, no I don't"
Maureen shifted in his lap until she heard a groan of pain. "Bitch" he growled in her ear. "Rude asshole" she countered back as he gritted his teeth. Luis and Collins weren't paying attention to them.
"What do you do Luis?" Benny said holding onto Maureen hips. Luis turned back to Maureen and Benny "I'm a painter, I actually make a really good living off of it" Maureen turned "Wait, are you Luis Dell?" she asked. Luis smiled "Yes, I am"
Maureen squealed and hopped off of Benny's lap. "I am a huge fan of you! I have one of your painting hanging in the nursery. It's the one of the spoon jumping over the moon and the cow is on the dish. I thought that was so metaphorical." Luis grinned "I was watching my niece when I painted that. She wanted me to tell her that stupid rhyme over and over again. When she took a nap, it just spilled out of me."
"So it's a girl?" Collins asked his hand on Maureen's ever expanding stomach.
"Yeah, Benny, go get that picture" Benny rolled his eyes but got up. "Here" he handed her a black and white sonogram. "Here look" she said holding it up "No dick" Luis gave a snort of laughter. "That's how she talks." Collins turned to his husband and patted him on the leg "You should get used to it. But Maureen, that's amazing" he took the picture "Is that her head?" "Yeah" she nodded happily.
Despite what most would think, Maureen was very happy about being pregnant now. The morning sickness had mostly disappeared and Benny was 100 supportive and amazing. The only problem was that her tits were so sore. They hadn't had sex for a week.
"Maureen, so you only have 5 months to go?" Luis asked "I'm fifteen weeks exactly so I have twenty-five weeks left" she looked up as she thought about it. "Wow you are almost half done" Collins smiled.
Maureen smiled too "You know, I like being pregnant actually, it's weird because I was devastated when I found out" Benny laughed "Maureen, you hate being pregnant" he said Maureen picked up a bright blue throw pillow and him "Shut up, I like it now" she laughed as he caught it. "But, no, I really do like it."
"Bye" Maureen hugged Luis as he and Collins headed to the door. "See you guys later" Collins said taking Luis away from Maureen. "Please Maureen, don't let Benny talk to the baby that much" he patted her belly one more time. "Bye Collins" Maureen closed the door.
"That's awesome" Maureen said as the elevator doors close, turning to Benny. "Yeah" he nodded motioning her to sit with him on the couch. "I love Luis" she lowered herself next to him, lying on his stomach
"I think he's nice" Benny said.
"I'm surprised Collins married Luis Dell! I didn't even know he was gay. It's so amazing to have him in my, like, friend circle." Benny nodded distractedly "What do you think?" she took the glass she was drinking water from off the coffee table and took a sip.
"Maureen what do you think about getting married?" Benny asked playing with one of her thick curls. She choked on her water "What?" she sputtered. Maureen was not the commitment type, and defiantly not the marrying type. "Do you want to get married?" he asked again.
Maureen didn't say anything for a while, she just thought about what her boyfriend for only 15 weeks had just asked her to marry him. Sure she had known him for 3 years and sure she was pregnant with his child, but that doesn't mean she wants to marry him.
"Benny" she said sitting up "Benny, you know I love you" she got on her knees and turned to him. "I really do, and I am so happy I am carrying you child. But Ben, I don't want to marry you."
She put her hands on both sides of his face. "I'm sorry, but, baby we just got together."
Benny sighed "Maureen I don't want my baby to be a bastard" Maureen laughed "Benny, what year are you living in? 1834? We can have a baby without being married"
Benny put on a sad face "Are you sure you don't want to get married?" he asked "What?" she asked "Did you already bought a ring or something" she laughed but Benny nodded.
Maureen's jaw fell. "No you didn't" she shook her head in disbelief "Yeah I did" Benny reached over to the side table next to the couch and pulled opened the drawer. "No" she closed her eyes.
Benny pulled out a robin's egg blue box. "Maureen, babe, I love you so much, and I want to be married to you" Maureen opened her eyes "It's from Tiffany's" she moaned with longing. Benny untied the white ribbon and opened the box.
He pulled out a black velvet box and opened it. Inside was an amazing ring, a huge square diamond with little diamonds around it and diamonds down the side, on a whit gold band. "Oh my God!" she sighed happily. Benny got down on one knee, "I was going to wait, but I want to do it now"
Maureen looked at the ring, then at Benny. "Benny…" she started "Maureen I want you to be my wife. I love you more than I have ever loved anyone in my life. You are carrying my baby and I want to be with you" He took the ring out of the box and offered it to her. Maureen couldn't say anything but she let him slip it on her left hand. "Please marry me?" he asked.
A tear fell down Maureen's cheek. "Ok" she nodded her head as he stood up with the biggest grin she had ever seen him wear. "This is amazing" she said looking at the ring. "How much did you pay for this?" she held it up looking at it from above.
"I'm not telling you that" he said sitting down and pulling her so her back was resting on his stomach again. "No come on, tell me" she said still looking at it.
"It was a little over $600,000" he said knowing she wouldn't have stopped asking. "Oh my god!" she turned her head to him. "You shouldn't have paid that much, why did you pay that much?" Benny smiled "Maureen, it's not that much. I love you and I want you to have the best."
"Ok" she shrugged. Maureen loved the ring and didn't really want to give it back.
"When do you want to get married?" He asked brushing her hair out of her eyes. "Not for a long time" she said "At least until after the baby is born"
Benny nodded "Babe, we can do it whenever you want, as long as I know I have you." Benny was so happy, he really did love Maureen. It wasn't just because she was pregnant; he really did want to be with her.
"What's being married like?" she asked.
"It's not really any different then what we are doing now, except you'll have my last name." he said still playing with her hair. "No, I'm keeping Johnson" she told him, still admiring her beautiful ring. "Oh, well then, it's not different."
She turned around on her side "We will have married sex" she raised her eyebrows and laughed "Does that mean we will have less sex?" he laughed turning on his side and holding her around the waist. "No, I will never ever let that happen" she looked back at him.
Benny leaned down and kissed her. "Good, because I don't think that I would ever not be with you" They kissed again "Plus I think that I would die if I didn't get off" Maureen gave him a look, knowing what he meant "Benny, I'm sorry, I want to do it, but anyway we would, you'd end up touching my tits and it hurts really bad"
He kissed the side of her neck and wove his hands through hers, feeling the cool metal from her ring. "So you like the ring?" he asked "Baby, I love the ring"
