A.n.: Welcome to the third chapter of this story. I hope you enjoy it. No flames or criticism.
Also, I want to thank Minnie loves Mickey for her suggestions. Thank you! :)
Additionally, in my last chapter I said that this would be the only story where Mickey and Minnie would have a baby. Let me explain that. Right now, this will be the only story where the mice have a baby. I do enjoy writing about the mice having a baby, but I also enjoy writing about them dating or being married without kids. I have several stories in mind right now and in all of them, Mickey and Minnie are either dating or married without kids. Don't think I don't enjoy writing about them having a baby, it isn't that at all. It's just that most of my ideas have them either dating or married without kids. I enjoy writing all three versions of stories, but most of my ideas are the latter. Should I get an idea in the future that uses their baby again, then I'll hopefully try to write it. But for now, they'll either be dating or married without kids in my stories.
P.S. I've decided to enable the anonymous reviews for one week. Within that time period, you can leave a review if you don't have an account. After the one week duration, depending on the circumstances, I will either disable it again, or leave it enabled. If I get a good review, then I will reply to it in the coming chapter.
Squad unit 19.
THREE HEARTS, ONE LOVE
It was a few days after Minnie had found out she was pregnant, and her and Mickey had managed to keep it a secret between just the two of them. The only people that knew of her pregnancy were their parents. Neither Minnie's sister nor Mickey's sister even knew yet. Not that Mickey and Minnie didn't want them to know. They had planned on telling them soon. Mickey had made sure that Minnie was careful and didn't do anything that would harm her, or their unborn child, in any way. Okay, so in retrospect, this was completely normal; Mickey was being just as protective of his angel, but now he was also being protective of their unborn child as well. Though they knew their friends would find out eventually about their little surprise, and they planned on telling them, the mice felt it was fun keeping it just between them.
Minnie thought it was sweet of Mickey to keep a close eye on her and she was deeply touched and thankful for his protectiveness, but she ensured him she was fine and that she could still handle things herself. Not that she wanted to handle everything herself or didn't want his help. She deeply appreciated it, but she didn't want him to do everything himself, and she didn't want to feel helpless. They met halfway and helped each other. And if he insisted on doing something for her she let him and vice versa.
The front door swung open as Minnie stepped inside, followed by Mickey, both carrying some bags of groceries. He had insisted that he could carry every one. Naturally, though, she wouldn't let him do that. So she was helping. He did, however, make sure to give her the lightest bags and him carry the heaviest ones. Stepping into the kitchen, they set the bags on the counter.
"I still say you shoulda let me carry them," Mickey pointed out. "I could get them."
"I know, but I wanted to help," Minnie countered, giving him a smile.
"But you shouldn't be carrying anything heavy. You shouldn't do anything to strain yourself." She placed a hand on his cheek as she smiled up at him.
"I'm fine, Mickey. I'm not going to hurt anything just by carrying a few groceries. But I think it's so sweet of you. Thank you." She leaned up and pecked his lips. "Besides, remember our little deal?" He chuckled, grinning.
"Yeah. I remember."
"Good." She pecked him again and both chuckled. Then they turned back to the bags and started getting things out of them. "I'm glad they had our favorite kind of cheese," Minnie said, reaching into a bag and pulling out a triangle-shaped slice of the mice' favorite kind of cheese.
"Me too. I'm glad they were on sale, too. We got enough cheese to do us for a while." Both mice chuckled. Being mice, cheese was their favorite kind of food. And both loved it equally, though, they loved each other much, much more. After putting up almost all of the groceries Mickey then realized they were missing a bag. "I must've left a bag in the car. I'll go get it."
"Okay," she said with a cute nod. "I'll finish putting this stuff up." He looked at the bag, then to her, skeptically. "There isn't much left. It's only a few cans, nothing big and heavy," she told him, reassuring him.
"Okay," he said, the edge of his lips turning up. "I'll be right back."
"All right." Minnie started putting a few cans into the cabinet as Mickey went back outside to retrieve the last bag. Suddenly the phone rang. Minnie glanced at the caller ID and seen her sister's name and phone number. She picked it up.
"Hello?"
"Hi, Minnie!"
"Hi, Mandie!" Minnie continued to put the last few things in the cabinet as she talked to her sister.
"How's my fav sister doing?" Minnie giggled.
"I'm fine. But I'm your only sister."
"True that. How's Mick?"
"He's fine, too." Minnie couldn't help but smile as she thought of Mickey.
"You still happy with him?" Minnie rolled her eyes. Though she and her sister thankfully got along very well and never got on each other's nerves like some sisters did, Mandie still did little things to annoy her sister once in a while.
"Duh! Of course I am! I'm totally happy. Things are wonderful with us," Minnie said with a proud, honest smile.
"Well, I'm glad to hear it. So. You two been busy yet?" Minnie cocked a brow.
"What do you mean?"
"You know. Baby making!" Minnie's cheeks reddened as they became warm. "Have you two been busy making a baby yet? I'm sure you two have gotten some practice by now." Minnie blushed deeply.
"More like lots and lots of practice..." she thought with a wide grin, giggling mentally. "Um... Well, we have, uh... been practicing... a lot..." she admitted shyly, blushing madly.
"I knew it! I knew you two couldn't keep your mits off each other!" Minnie continued to blush.
"Nope, we couldn't and we can't," Minnie thought with a grin. Mickey came back in at that time and Minnie gave him a smile as he entered the kitchen. He set the bag on the counter and started to put the stuff up while Minnie folded the other bag up and put it with the rest in a drawer.
"So you're intimate relationship is healthy, eh?"
"Yes. It's happy and healthy!" Minnie answered with a smile. "Veerry happy and healthy," she thought, blushing.
"So! When are you two gonna have a little baby mouse?" Mandie asked. Minnie froze a little.
"Uh, we'll, um... have one when we feel we're ready for it," she replied a little nervously. Minnie didn't want to tell her sister over the phone. Mickey managed a glance at his wife, noting her tinted cheeks, and she gave him a sly little smile, and from her sentence and her expression, he could guess what Mandie had just asked of Minnie.
"Well, that makes sense. Anyway, the reason I called is I was wondering if you wanted to have a sister day today and go shopping?" Minnie and Mandie had a sister day sometimes, which was them just hanging out together. Most of the time they went shopping, sometimes they caught a movie.
"Sure! That'd be fun!"
"Great! I'll be over to pick you up in a half hour."
"Okay."
"Bye."
"Bye." Minnie hung up the phone and turned to Mickey, who had just finished putting everything up. "That was Mandie. She wants her and I to have a sister day today."
"That sounds like fun. I'm sure you'll have a great time." Mickey leaned against the counter as Minnie stepped in front of him. "She wanted to know if we're having a baby sometime, didn't she?" His wife giggled.
"Yep. That's what she asked. Boy, when she finds out... hee hee!"
"Heh, she'll be really surprised."
"Boy, will she." They chukled, then shared a tender smile. "Thank you for helping with the groceries," she smiled sweetly, taking his hands into hers.
"Aw, you're welcome," he smiled, leaning close and kissing her forehead. She let go of his hands and moved her arms around his waist, snuggling against him. He moved his arms around her waist.
"I wonder what my sister will say when she finds out about our little secret." The little mouse smiled slyly as she said "secret" and leaned up to nuzzle his nose.
"Hopefully you'll be able to tell her before she can guess. Our mom's already knew it before we even had a chance to tell them."
"Yeah. But my sister had Melody and Millicent, so she'll probably know it the minute she sees me."
"Wouldn't doubt it." Both chuckled.
"I'll bring you something home," Minnie smiled sweetly, moving one hand to his chest and tracing her index finger along it.
"You don't have to." She leaned up and pecked his lips.
"I want to." They shared a smile. "So what're you gonna do while I'm gone?"
"I'm gonna head over to Amelia's and tell her about our secret," he answered.
"How do ya think she'll react?" the little girl mouse pondered. Mickey thought for a moment before chuckling.
"Without you there I might actually get to tell her."
"Yeah, because apparently I'm glowing," she said, chuckling afterward. Then she smiled cutely and playfully. "We have at least twenty minutes before Mandie comes over. So, whatcha wanna do?" Mickey grinned mischievously and picked her up in his arms, making her give a cute, soft squeak as he picked her up.
"Well, I could do this." He pressed his lips to hers, making her go limp in his strong arms as his kiss made her lips, as well as the rest of her, tingle. His warm, sweet, powerful kiss sent pleasurable shivers through her and made her moan as the power of his kiss held sway over her. Her tail twitched and curled into a heart behind her as her little body was pressed against his, her arms and legs now limp, as his kiss had paralyzed her. After about six seconds, Mickey slowly broke the kiss, nipping gently at her bottom lip, making her moan, and pulled away to see the dazed, love-struck expression and goofy grin spread across her sweet face.
"I love it when you do that..." she said breathlessly with a smile. She circled her arms lazily around his neck. "Where was I going again?" she asked, his kiss having momentarily made her forget about her sister day. "Oh yeah!" She remembered and snickered. "See what you do to me?"
"Yeah, but you enjoy it, right?"
"I really enjoy it. I love it." She nuzzled her nose to his.
"Your sister will be here soon." A cute giggle escaped her.
"We still have a little time. So I could do this." She leaned close and pressed her lips to his. Her sweet, loving and powerful kiss made his spine shiver as it took hold on him. She couldn't help but moan as she tasted his kiss again. After about six seconds, she slowly broke the kiss and nipped at his bottom lip as she pulled away and began trailing her soft, affectionate kisses along his face. After planting a few kisses upon his face, she pulled away and giggled as their eyes met. "Now I'm kinda wishing I could postpone the sister day until tomorrow," she said with a cute and innocent little smile.
"How come?" he pondered. The ends of her lips curled up into a sly smile.
"So you and I could stay home and have some fun..." He chuckled.
"Well, there's always tonight."
"True." She snickered. "Now I can't wait till tonight."
"Neither can I. But we'll have to. Then when it's night, we can have all the fun ya want." He saw her eyes twinkle.
"All the fun I want? Ooh, I'm lovin' the sound of this already. Now I really can't wait until tonight." She giggled. He held her, cradling her small body and holding her to him.
"You go out and have fun with your sister. Tonight, you can have fun with me." She giggled.
"I really love that idea. Tonight, you're all mine. Deal." She pecked his lips, then pulled back and met his eyes.
As the young lovers gazed into each other's eyes, their ears perked and twitched as they heard a car pull up. Mandie. Then they heard a knock at the front door. Mickey set his wife down and both went into the living room. Minnie opened the door to see her sister standing there.
"Hey, Minnie!" she greeted.
"Hi, Mandie!" Minnie greeted back.
"Hey, Mick!" Mandie addressed Mickey, reaching out to shake his hand.
"Hey, Mandie!" he said, shaking her hand.
"How's my favorite brother-in-law?"
"I'm good. But I'm your only brother-in-law."
"Doesn't mean you aren't my favorite!" She then turned to the littler girl mouse. "So, you ready to go, girl?"
"Yep! All ready to go!"
"Well, come on, Sis! Let's hit the mall! See you later, Mickey!" Mandie waved as she walked out to her car.
"See ya!" Mickey waved. Minnie turned to Mickey and hugged him and kissed him.
"Love you, Mickey. I'll see ya later," she smiled sweetly.
"Love you, too. Be careful," he smiled.
"I will. You be careful, too."
"I will. I'll have my cell so call if you need anything."
"I will. I'll have mine so you call if you need anything, okay?"
"You got it." She kissed him and hugged him once more and started down the steps, looking and waving back at him. "Have fun. And be careful!" he called to her.
"I will! You be careful, too!" she called back. She got in the passenger side of Mandie's car and buckled up and waved out the window to her husband as Mandie backed out of the driveway. Minnie blew Mickey a kiss and they waved to each other until Mandie pulled out of sight. Minnie whispered a silent prayer for Mickey to be watched over, like she did every time she wasn't with him.
"You two are cute to watch, you know that?"
Minnie turned to her sister as she settled into her seat.
"What do you mean?" Her sister laughed.
"Come on, you two are like peanut butter and jelly!" Minnie blushed. "No, no, more like the earth and the sun; can't have one without the other." Minnie continued to blush. She knew that statement was true. She couldn't imagine life without Mickey, the thought of it frightened her more than anything. "You two really are cute together and you go well together," Mandie continued.
"Thanks," Minnie replied with a smile.
"You two really are cute to watch," Mandie added with a smirk.
Mickey stood on the porch as he watched the car disappear down the road. Though he trusted Minnie and knew she would be careful, that didn't stop him from worrying about her. But now he had one more thing to worry about: their baby. As he stood, he said a silent prayer for Minnie and their baby to be watched over. Though he always prayed for her to be watched over when he wasn't with her, now he was also praying for their baby to be watched over. Suddenly Mickey felt Pluto nudge his hand. Looking down, he saw Pluto and Figaro sitting next to where he stood, both looking up at him with a smile, as if telling him not to worry, that both Minnie and their baby would be okay. He smiled, and knelt down to pet them both.
"Aww, thanks, fellas." Pluto yipped and Figaro meowed, acknowledging his thanks. Standing up, the young male mouse sighed. "Well... I 'spose I better go tell Amelia." Mickey stepped inside, got his keys and locked the door as he stepped out on the porch. "You guys watch over the house while we're gone." Pluto raised his right ear in a salute and Figaro nodded. "Good. See ya later, fellas!" Mickey closed the door and walked down the steps out to his car. He got in, started it up, buckled up, backed out of the drive, and left to see his own sister.
Meanwhile, Minnie and Mandie were on their wall to the mall, mingling in conversation on the way. Much to Minnie's surprise, Mandie never mentioned anything about Minnie glowing, nor did she even make another mention about babies. Minnie had intentions of telling her sibling about her being pregnant, but she reasoned she'd wait for a bit and just see if Mandie would notice or make a mention about it. However, all the way to the mall, the conversation just carried on without any mention about said topic.
As the two mice pulled into the parking lot, Mandie shut off the engine and turned to her sister, her left hand still resting atop the steering wheel.
"Well?" Minnie looked at her sister perplexed.
"Well what?"
"Come on, Sis! I've been waiting for you to tell me ever since I picked you up. What's the big news?" Minnie cocked a brow. Did Mandie know? Could she see that glow in Minnie as well? Minnie wasn't entirely sure that's what her sister was referring to, but she figured it was. But then Mandie smiled, or more or less smirked. "You're glowing." Yep. She knew.
"How did you..." Minnie started, but Mandie cut in.
"Please. I had two kids. I'm a mom. I can see you're glowing." Minnie began to smile.
"Yep. You caught me. I'm pregnant!"
"Congratulations, Sis!" Mandie exclaimed as she leaned over and hugged her sibling.
"Thanks, Sis," Minnie replied, hugging her sister.
"How far along are you?" Mandie asked, pulling away.
"Just a little over two weeks," Minnie answered. Then she laughed. "I wanted to tell you, but I wanted ta' see if you'd guess it beforehand. Mom and Mickey's mom knew it before Mickey and I could tell them."
"Ah, being sneaky with me, eh?" Minnie snickered. "I see Mick's been rubbing off on you." Minnie snickered again. "Moms seem to always know when their daughter is pregnant. I wanted to tell Mom when I was pregnant, but she also guessed it before I could tell her." Mandie huffed a little.
"They never let us surprise them, do they?" Minnie chuckled.
"Nope, they don't," Mandie said. Both girls laughed. Then Mandie grabbed the door handle. "Come on. Lets get this show on the road!" Minnie giggled as she got out of the car, and both girls began their sister day.
Meanwhile, Mickey had just arrived at his own sister's house to tell her the news. Stepping, onto the porch, he knocked on the door and waited for his sister to open it. Soon enough, it opened.
"Mickey!" Amelia smiled when she saw her sibling.
"Hi, Amelia!" Mickey greeted. Amelia hugged him and he returned it.
"How've you been?"
"I've been good."
"How's Minnie doing?"
"She's doing good, too." Mickey couldn't help but smile as he thought of his wife. Which reminded him, he needed to call and check up on her.
"Come on in." Amelia gestured inside and Mickey stepped in. "So what've you been up to lately?"
"Nothin' much. How've you been?"
"I've been fine." Mickey sat on the couch as Amelia sat in a chair. "How're Morty and Ferdie? They still playing soccer?"
"They sure are, and they're really good, too. Coach says they'll be pro players." Amelia grinned lightheartedly. "I just hope the rest of the windows in the house survive that long." Both chuckled. "They broke one flower pot already."
"Ouch." Mickey cringed.
"But they're having fun and their active and they're happy, so that's what's important."
"Yeah."
"Maybe you and Minnie should consider having kids," Amelia said with a sly little smile, teasing her brother.
"Actually, Amelia, that's why I came over," Mickey admitted shyly, rubbing the back of his neck. His sibling's eyes widened as she smiled widely.
"You're thinking of having kids? That's great!"
"Actually, Minnie's pregnant," Mickey revealed. Amelia froze, eyes wide, then a smile broke out on her face as she cried excitedly.
"Oh, my gosh, this is so exciting! You and Minnie are going to have a baby!" Amelia hugged her brother. "Congratulations, Bro!"
"Thanks," Mickey said, returning the hug.
"How far along is she?" Amelia asked when she pulled away.
"Just a little over two weeks," Mickey explained.
"A little over two weeks... My, she's very early. Have you told Mom and Dad yet?"
"Yep. We did. And you know what?" Amelia grinned.
"Mom guessed Minnie was pregnant."
"You got it." Both laughed.
"It doesn't surprise me. As a mom, we tend to know when our daughter's are carrying. When I told Mom I was pregnant she knew it the moment she saw me."
"That's what happened to Minnie. Her mom and ours knew it the second they saw her."
"Well, I'm happy for you both."
"Thanks, Sis," Mickey said. Amelia grinned wryly.
"It's about time there were some little mouse feet pitter-pattering around your house." Mickey blushed.
Minnie and Mandie sat at the food court in the mall, eating and chatting about Minnie and Mickey's coming baby. Mandie was able to give Minnie some tips and advice on pregnancy, and Minnie already felt more excited to have her and Mickey's baby. Minnie had also browsed around for Mickey something and found him a couple of gifts she knew he'd love. And she couldn't wait to give them to him.
"So do any of your friends know yet?" Mandie asked.
"Nope," Minnie shook her head. "Mickey and I want to wait a while before we tell them."
"Why? I thought you'd be excited to tell them."
"I wouldn't mind to tell most of our friends, it's Clarabelle and Horace that I don't want to find out yet."
"Why don't you want them to know?"
"Because Clarabelle loves to gossip and Horace loves to tell jokes," the littler mouse replied flatly. "If Clarabelle knew right now, she'd make a huge deal out of it."
"Aaand you going to have a baby isn't a huge deal?"
"Well, yeah, it is. It's really special and wonderful, but Clarabelle would make it an even bigger deal, bigger than what it needs to be. She'd blab it to everybody."
"And Horace?"
"He'd make jokes about it. Mickey and I know first hand how awful his jokes and stories can be. I don't want him to know yet, either."
"You know they're going to find out."
"I know. But they don't have to know about it yet. So please don't tell anyone, okay?"
"Don't worry, Sis. My lips are sealed," Mandie promised.
"Thanks," Minnie smiled.
"So, what do you think it will be?"
"I'm not sure. But as long as it's healthy, I'm happy. Mickey and I are both very curious, but as long as it's healthy, we're both happy." Minnie took a sip of her soda. Mandie placed her chin in her palm, leaning a bit closer to her sister.
"So, how was it?" Minnie cocked a brow.
"How was what?"
"You know, making the baby?" Minnie blushed madly and looked down at her soda cup, her mind drifting back to that night. Oh, what a night that was...
"Now why on earth should I tell you that?"
"Well, obviously Mick done you good to get you pregnant." Minnie continued to blush madly. "Soooo...?"
"It was wonderful..." Minnie admitted with a shy little smile.
"I bet people across the street could hear you that night," Mandie snickered. Minnie's blush deepened. She knew people probably did hear her that night. Though, she knew people probably heard her every night her and Mickey had some fun together. "I'll bet you sounded like a wild mouse mating." Again, Minnie knew she was right in every sense. Minnie knew she must have sounded like that that night, and during any other night her and Mickey have some alone time. But it still embarrassed her to think that her sister could tell that just by her face.
"Mandie!" Minnie scolded quietly. Mandie laughed.
"Sorry, Sis. But it has to be true otherwise you wouldn't look like a tomato right now." Minnie continued to blush. "On a scale of one to ten, what would you rate it?"
"...A hundred..." Minnie answered shyly. That was actually putting it mildly. The sensations she felt that night were off the scale. But then the sensations she felt every time she and Mickey did something together always felt just as amazing and wonderful and were always off the scale.
"Wooww. I'll bet the whole neighborhood heard you that night." Minnie rolled her head back and groaned.
"Can we please talk about something other than my and Mickey's personal, intimate moments?"
"Okay, we're done," Mandie snickered.
"Thank you," Minnie said. Mandie got her purse and stood.
"Come on. Lets finish shopping."
"You got it!" Minnie agreed, getting her purse and hopping out of her chair with her cup of soda. She tossed it into a recycling bin as she and her sister walked past.
Shortly after, Minnie and Mandie had walked into a clothing store and were browsing through the clothes. Minnie was going through the junior mouse, size small items while Mandie was going through the women's clothing for things her size. Minnie found a cute light blue tee and held it up to herself. Liking it, she placed it her basket. Then she spotted a cute pink tee that she liked. She looked at it then also placed it in the basket. Mandie, who was at another rack looking for clothes in her size, looked at her sister going through clothes.
"Honestly, Minnie, you're so little. You probably don't weight thirty pounds soaking wet." Minnie placed her hands on her hips and grinned.
"I'm not little, I'm fun sized!" She giggled. Then she began going through the clothes again. "I like my size. I like being little. And Mickey likes my size too." A smile broke out on her face. "He and I like being little mice."
"So have you though of any names yet?" Mandie asked.
"No, not yet. We don't even know what the baby will be," Minnie answered. She looked at another shirt, but shook her head and hung it back up. Then she found a cool pair of snug jeans and held them in front of herself. She liked them, and placed them in the basket.
"Well, you can get an ultrasound when you're at least eleven weeks along, though it isn't recommended until you're at least sixteen weeks."
"I want to go as soon as I can. I'm very curious about what the baby will be," Minnie said with a smile.
"Reminds me of when I was pregnant with my girls," Mandie said.
"Was it painful?" Minnie asked, curious.
"Very," Mandie replied. "But when you first see their sweet, beautiful face, it makes it all worth while." Minnie smiled, now feeling more eager to see her and Mickey's child. Minnie soon finished going through the clothes and Mandie grabbed Minnie's arm and pulled the young mouse into the intimates. Mandie picked up a skimpy, little, light blue thong with pink lace around the legs and turned to her sister.
"I bet Mickey's eyes would bulge if he saw you in this," she said with a evil grin. Minnie blushed furiously.
"Mandie!" she scolded lightly. "I already have one baby in here," she pointed to her flat stomach. "I wear that around Mickey and there'll be two or three in there." Then Minnie grinned and snatched it from her sister's hands with a chuckle. "I'm getting it. Luckily, there are means of not getting pregnant again which means I can wear this little thing in front of my guy all he wants." Minnie giggled. "His eyes won't be the only thing bulging..." she thought. After finishing up, Minnie and Mandie started walking toward the young men's clothes, as Minnie wanted to look for Mickey something.
Minnie and Mandie finished going through the clothes, paid for their stuff and started walking back through the mall. Suddenly Minnie's cell phone began to ring.
Who's the leader of the club that's made for you and me? M-I-C-K-E-Y M-O-U-S-E went her ring tone. She reached into her purse, pulled out her pink cell phone and looked at the LED screen to see Mickey's picture and his cell phone number. Smiling excitedly, she quickly answered it.
"Hi, Mickey!" she answered brightly.
"Hi, Minnie!" Mickey said on the other end.
"What's up?"
"I was just callin' to check up on you." Minnie could hear the shyness in his voice, and her heart fluttered at his words.
"Aw, Mickey," she purred over her phone. "Thanks. I'm fine. How are you?"
"I'm good. How's the shopping trip goin'?"
"Mandie and I are having a great time. I found some cute outfits I can't wait for you to see."
"I'm glad you're having fun," he said, giving a chuckle. "Did you tell her the news?"
"Yup. I told her," she said with a little chuckle. "And guess what?"
"She knew before you told her."
"She knew before I told her." Both laughed. "But she was surprised and thrilled. How did Amelia react?"
"I'd say she was just as surprised and thrilled as Mandie was." Both laughed again.
"And don't worry about our little secret. I haven't seen any of our friends here."
"Whew. That's good. I'm surprised you haven't seen Daisy there yet. The mall is, like, her second home." Minnie laughed.
"Yeah, me too. Surprisingly, I didn't see her in any of the stores we went in. But I've got my eyes peeled."
"You know, you could always tell her." She cocked a brow.
"Did you eat some bad cheese, Mickey?" Both chuckled. "And have the whole town know by tomorrow? Uh-uh. No way."
"Heh, I was hoping you'd say that," he admitted.
"We think alike, remember?" she grinned.
"Yeah, but I'm glad."
"Me too." Both shared a soft chuckle, their minds each imagining the smiles on each other's face.
"I better go so you can finish shopping. But I'll see you later, right?"
"You know it," she replied with a smile. "I've got you something," she said in a sing-song voice.
"You didn't have to get me anything," he told her.
"Wanted to. Done got it," she countered.
"Thanks," Mickey said, smiling.
"You're welcome, sweetie," Minnie replied sweetly.
"I'll let you go, but I'll see ya soon."
"See ya real soon. Be careful on your way home," she said.
"I will. You be careful, too."
"I will."
"Love you," he said.
"Love you," she said.
"Bye."
"Bye-bye." Both mice hung up at the same time.
"Besides being cute to watch, you two are also cute to listen to," Mandie stated, a sly grin upon her lips. Minnie blushed as she looked at her sister then ahead of her. "How about we hit one more store then head home?"
"Alright. I am a little beat. Besides, Mickey and I had plans for later tonight."
"Oh, really? What kind of plans, hmm?" Mandie pried, grinning a sneaky grin. Minnie blushed, knowing what her and Mickey had made plans for. She turned to her sister with a sly smile.
"I don't think you need to know that."
"What not? What's the big deal about not telling me?"
"Because you not knowing that won't hurt you."
"Now why are you being so secretive? What are you two planning on doing?"
"Stuff," Minnie answered simply, a satisfied grin upon her lips.
"Is it more of your personal private time?" Mandie saw Minnie's cheeks turn a light red.
"Maayybe," Minnie grinned. Then her tone turned serious. "And that's all you're getting out of me, sis, got it?" she said, pointing her index finger at her taller sister. Mandie held up her hands.
"Okay, okay. It is none of my business. It is your life after all." Minnie nodded in satisfaction.
"Thank you. Now come on. Let's finish shopping!" Both girls laughed.
In the next store, Minnie and Mandie looked through the different clothing that they liked. As they looked, Minnie glanced in the direction of the baby aisle, which was near the women's and juniors clothes. She grinned and decided to take a quick browse through the baby clothes. She took a quick glance around to make sure she didn't see anyone she knew. If anyone saw her in the baby clothes it would surely give away her and Mickey's secret. Seeing no one, she decided to go through with it.
"I'll be right back, Mandie. I'm gonna go look at something." Mandie looked to see her sister walking toward the baby aisle.
"Ohh, I see," she grinned. "Hang on, Sis, I'm coming with you." As she caught up with her sibling she grinned. "Just what are you doing?"
"I'm just going to look," Minnie said with a defensive grin.
"Then I think you'll need my help. after all, I did have two girls." Both women snickered. Minnie began browsing through the clothes, toys and cribs and felt her excitement for the coming baby growing. Minnie squealed as she held up a tiny pair of baby booties, and she gushed when she picked up a little bodysuit.
"Everything is so cute, I can't decide," Minnie said.
"Well, you have quite a while before you have to make any decisions," Mandie informed her. "And once you know whether it will be a boy or a girl, you'll be able to narrow your choices." As Minnie continued looking, she caught the image of someone out of the corner of her eye and glanced to see Daisy in the women's clothes nearby. Minnie's eyes widened as she panicked.
"Uh-oh!" The little mouse ducked around a shelf quickly, hoping not to be spotted.
"What is it?" Mandie asked, turning to her sibling with a confused expression.
"It's Daisy," Minnie explained, peeking around the shelf then ducking back. "If she sees me here she'll know something is up." She let out a groan. "Of course she's here shopping."
"I could distract her while you get away," Mandie offered. Minnie shook her head.
"No good. Daisy would notice me."
"You could just tell her that you were just browsing." Minnie gave her sister a look.
"Yeah right. That'll work real well." She glanced back to see Daisy still standing there, going through the dresses. "There's gotta be a way to sneak past her..." Minnie looked around and noticed a path down a few aisles that would take her out of the baby clothes and into the jewelry department. "Bingo. All I have to do is sneak down that aisle, through the jewelry and out of the store. Then we can make it out of the mall to the car without being seen."
"Wow, hanging around Mickey has really rubbed off on you. It's uncanny how much you two can think alike." Minnie grinned up at her sister.
"Thank you." She glanced back to Daisy to see that the duck wasn't looking in her direction and decided to make her move. "Now's my chance."
Minnie snuck down the aisle, through the baby clothes and toys and managed to make it into the jewelry department unseen. Then she and Mandie walked out of the store and out into the mall. Minnie sighed a breath of relief as she exited the store, glad that she hadn't been seen.
"Where on earth did you learn to be so sneaky, sis?" Mandie asked. Minnie shrugged with a grin.
"I've helped Mickey with a lot of detective cases." She giggled. "He's rubbed off on me, and I like it." Both women laughed and headed for the mall exit.
Mickey sat on the couch at home, flipping through page after page in the few books he picked up from a store on his way home from seeing his sister. They were how-to books on building rooms, flooring, electrical wiring and painting. He also picked up a couple of books on pregnancy that he hoped would help him and Minnie to prepare for the later trimesters in her pregnancy. He sat going over the books, knowing that he wanted to do everything he could to help his young wife's first pregnancy be wonderful for her. He contemplated calling his wife to check on her again when he heard a car pull up. His ears perked and he instinctively glanced at the door. Pluto and Figaro, who were lying on the floor by the couch, each raised their head.
Mickey quickly hid the books behind a pillow and stood and headed over to the door, opening it just as Minnie was waving to Mandie as she backed out of the driveway. She turned and started walking up the front walk, carrying her bags, and smiled happily when she saw her husband.
"Hey, Mickey!" she smiled brightly.
"Hey, Min!" he smiled back. Mickey held the door open for his little wife as she stepped inside.
"Why, thank you," she said sweetly.
"You're welcome," he replied. Once inside, she dropped her bags and hugged her husband.
"I missed you."
"I missed you, too." They pulled away a bit and she kissed him on his lips. They shared a smile for a second before Pluto and Figaro came over to greet the female mouse.
"Heh heh! Hey, fellas!" She pet both of them as they welcomed her.
"So, how did the sister day go?" Mickey asked.
"It was a lot of fun!" Minnie replied as she stood and picked up her bags. "I found some really cute things. And..." She smiled a coy smile. "I've got you a couple of things too," she sang playfully. She walked over to the couch and sat down, patting the cushion next to her. He sat down as she got into the bags and pulled out a big piece of cheese in shrink wrap. "I got this for you," Minnie smiled sweetly, handing him the cheese.
"Wow! Thanks, Minnie," he smiled, then leaned forward and kissed her cheek, making her giggle.
"You're welcome." It warmed her heart to know he loved her little gift.
"You got you a piece too, didn't you?" She reached into the bag and pulled out another piece, same size as his.
"Of course! I love cheese as much as you." Both laughed. They placed their cheese on the coffee table and the littler mouse got back into the bags and pulled out something and quickly hid it behind her back as she faced her lover. "I got you something else too." She pulled the item out from behind her back for him to see. It was a white mug with "Worlds Greatest Husband" written in blue on it.
"Aw, gosh..." Mickey felt his heart melt as he gently took the mug and looked it.
"I saw this and I wanted to get it for you. Because you are the greatest husband in the world." Mickey looked back up to his wife to see her loving gaze. "You like it?" He leaned close and wrapped her in his arms.
"I love it. It's beautiful. Thank you." Minnie felt her own heart melt as she returned his embrace.
"You're welcome, sweetie." Pulling back a bit, they shared a kiss. They shared a smile and let go of one another. "Oh! I have one more thing." Minnie dug into the bag and pulled out something but hid it behind her back again. "You won't really need this for another several months or so but I couldn't resist to get it for you now." She pulled the item from behind her back, revealing another white mug, this time with "Worlds Greatest Dad" written on it.
"Aw, I love it. Thank you."
"You're welcome." She kissed his cheek. "And I got you these." She reached into the bag and pulled out a new pair of jeans and a new T-shirt that she had gotten him.
"Wow. Thanks!" he said as he took them and looked at them.
"Welcome, " she said. She gave him a peck on his cheek, gave him a smile, then turned and started going through one of the bags. Mickey noticed something light blue in one of the other bags and, feeling curious, reached in and pulled the little garment out. Holding it up, he saw that it was a little, light blue thong with pink lace trim around the legs.
"Uh, Minnie...?" Minnie looked up and blushed furiously.
"Oh!" she squeaked as she snatched it from his hands and hid it behind her. "I, um... I got that as a little surprise for you..." she explained, blushing madly and avoiding his gaze. "I was, uh... gonna wear it tonight..." Meeting his gaze, she also saw that he was blushing.
"Aw, shucks, Min... You didn't have to, ya know..."
"I wanted to..." They shared a smile and chuckled softly, their cheeks still tinted. "And I got us these." She reached into the a bag and pulled out a few books on pregnancy and placed them on the coffee table. "These will help us understand each stage and what to prepare for." Mickey chuckled.
"Actually, I have a little surprise for you." He pulled out the books and placed them on the coffee table, revealing that he had actually gotten the same books. "I got these as well." Both began to laugh, realizing they both got the same books on pregnancy. Minnie began going through the books and found the ones on building, flooring and such.
"What are these for?" she asked, holding one of them up and tilting her head to the side curiously.
"Oh. That's another surprise." He took one of the books and began flipping through it. "See, with the baby on the way, I thought we're going to need another room for it. So I picked up these books to help me build a new room for the baby. I've already been working on where to build it and these books will help me build the perfect room for the baby. We can build onto the house and make it a nursery." Minnie's eyes shimmered as tears of happiness built up within them. She was deeply touched that Mickey wanted to build their baby a new room and she was touched that he was as enthusiastic about the project as he was.
"Oh, Mickey," Minnie gushed as she hugged him tight. "You're the best, you know that?"
"Naw. You are." She sniffed and smiled.
"No, you are." She pulled away and kissed him.
"You like the idea?"
"I love it! That's a wonderful idea, Mickey! I can't wait to see the room. Thank you so much." She kissed him again.
"You're welcome, doll," he said. They shared a smile and hugged one another.
"I just know the room is going to look great. And I wanna help you build it," she said with a sure and excited smile. Mickey shook his head.
"Ohhh, no. Uh-uh. Not and you pregnant."
"But I want to help you. This is our baby. We made this baby together and I want us to work on the room together. I want to help with the room. Besides, you can't do it by yourself, and you shouldn't have to. I won't let you. I want to help you with it. Please, Mickey?" Minnie batted her eyelashes at her sweetheart, her big brown eyes shimmering with hope and a warm, innocent smile on her face. Mickey looked into her eyes, seeing how much she wanted to help out. He sighed, knowing if he didn't agree to let her help out, she wouldn't let him do it by himself.
"Alright... But on one condition." He held up one finger. She nodded.
"Anything. Name it."
"Will you promise me that you'll quit if you start feeling tired, and that you won't overwork yourself?"
"I promise!" she affirmed, holding up her right hand, smiling surely. "I want you to promise me something, too."
"Name it." She leaned closer to him, trailing her fingers along the back of his neck, making him turn into putty from her soft, delicate touch.
"Promise me that you won't overwork yourself either, and you'll quit if you get tired." She was serious in her request, pleading in her eyes for him to agree to her terms. He smiled, which made her smile back.
"You got it. I promise."
"Thank you," she said with a tender smile, then leaned close and kissed him as she hugged him to her. He kissed her back, making her moan, and he couldn't resist the temptation. Moving his right hand down from her waist, he began to play with her little wiry tail, making her giggle as they broke the kiss and pulled away. "I love you, Mickey," Minnie smiled softly.
"I love you, Min," Mickey smiled back. The young mouse lovers leaned close and nuzzled noses.
Several days passed and Mickey and Minnie were luckily able to keep their little secret a secret, and both wondered just how long they could, as their little secret was growing with each passing day. On Sunday when they went to church, they held their breaths believing someone would notice that Minnie had that glow. Luckily, nobody made a mention of it. As they walked of of the church into the parking lot, both mice grinned to one another and each sighed breaths of relief. Minnie also snickered and Mickey chuckled as they walked to their car with her on his arm. They wondered how much longer their secret would remain a secret. After all, Minnie was still within her first month of pregnancy.
