"What's that?" He asked, happy once again, although somewhat guarded this time.
"Did you take out the trash? It's trash day tomorrow, if you didn't it's no big deal, I'll just do it in the morning but I just need to know."
"I took it out." He mumbled, this was not going the way he wanted it to.
"What's that?" She asked.
"I took it out already." He repeated, his voice sounding somewhat irritated.
"Well Nicky, don't get upset with me, I just didn't hear you." Jackie said with a frown.
"I'm not upset, I'm sorry if I sounded like I was." He assured her as he grabbed her hand and gave it a gentle squeeze.
She smiled at him.
"Do you have anything else you want to tell me?" He asked sounding hopeful.
"Nope I don't think so, I think I am going to go to sleep now, I'm tired." She replied.
"Hold on, hold on." He told her.
"What?" She asked.
"So you're not pregnant?" He asked.
"Pregnant? No, I'm not pregnant, why would you think that?" She asked sounding flabbergasted.
"Why would I think that, are you kidding me? We just had amazing sex, and then you said you have something that you want to tell me."
"Well honey, I know you are the science expert in the house but I'm pretty sure that having sex is the only way to get pregnant, and you looked so good in that shirt you had on that I was totally turned on, is that a bad thing?" She asked.
"Normally no." He said before adding "Well what about the way you said you had something to tell me?" He asked.
"I just wanted to share my work news with you because I was excited about it." She replied.
He frowned, he couldn't help it.
"Look Nicky, I didn't think about it but looking back on it I can see why you jumped to the conclusion you jumped to, I promise you that I didn't intentionally lead you on, I would never get your hopes up about something like that on purpose, I'm sorry."
"It's ok, I shouldn't have jumped to conclusions."
"What do you say we call it a night?" She asked.
"I like that idea, goodnight, I love you."
"Love you too, goodnight." She said with a smile.
Before long they were both snoring slightly.
The End!
You guys so jumped to conclusions, just like Nick did! Thanks for reading and for the reviews!
