Together, Firo and Ennis sat on their bed, watching the TV. Their current favorite series was running that night. They had been dying to see the new episode.
However, after an hour into the episode, Ennis grew bored and turned to glance at Firo's profile. His unwavering eyes were glued raptly to the TV screen. Firo didn't sense Ennis staring at him intently, which for some reason, made Ennis annoyed.
After a couple minutes, she spoke up, saying just one word.
"Firo."
At last, his attention was distracted and Firo glanced sideways at his wife inquisitively.
"What is it, Ennis?" He asked.
They stared at each other, neither of them making a move. Ennis's heart beat faster. Then, she stirred. Slowly, she crawled over him and softly, gently, as Firo watched, she kissed him on the lips.
Firo was momentarily startled, but he quickly recovered and kissed her back. Now, his entire being was focused on Ennis, which was just what she wanted. The TV was left running in the background, forgotten and abandoned.
When they broke apart, Firo and Ennis gazed into each other's eyes, trying to decipher what the other was thinking.
Eventually, Firo's lips cracked into a delighted grin.
"Well," He drawled, "That was a pleasant surprise."
Both of them had color in their cheeks and Ennis wasn't sure what she was thinking when she had committed such a daring move. Not to mention the position they were in.
However, Firo was able to rid Ennis of her embarrassment when he placed his hands on her hips and drew her against him. She fitted into him comfortably.
Firo sighed into Ennis's ears, "I love you."
This caused Ennis to blush again but she whispered back, "I love you too."
Firo shifted so that they were facing each other, side by side. He stared at his beautiful wife, and swore that she positively glowed with happiness.
Glancing down at her slightly curved stomach, he remarked, "Looks like our twins are going to be January babies."
Ennis smiled and taking his hand, she placed it on her belly. "That's right. They're due mid-January."
Firo couldn't believe that right now, their children were growing inside of Ennis, right under his very hand. He thought it was a miracle and a blessing that Ennis could carry and bring life into the world. He thought that that was wonderful, and told Ennis so.
She smiled again and replied, "Of course."
