JOURNEY:
"Mommy what are you doing?" asks Zoey as I am trying to get Dean's surprise together before he gets home from his business trip out west. He is due to come home in about an hour maybe two after taking a later afternoon flight out of California in his private plane. I can't wait to see him.
"I'm trying to get something together for your Daddy," I say with a smile as I tie a yellow, green, pink and blue balloon to a pair of tiny black chuck sneakers. "I have a surprise for him," I say as she picks up my pregnancy test. I thought about including her in the announcement but I saw something else I wanted to do.
"Is it Daddy's birthday?" she asks holding onto the pregnancy test.
"No it's not his birthday you know he just had a birthday," I say with a smile, "this is a different surprise for Daddy."
"Oh, what's this?" she asks.
"That is a pregnancy test," I say honestly as I take it from her. "And that is for your daddy," I say placing the Clear Blue Digital test down on the white blanket along with the strip of sonogram pictures I have from the doctor. "You want to hear a secret before I tell Daddy?"
"Yes!" she says with excitement as her blue eyes light up and she flashes me a big smile showing me her tiny white teeth. I can't stand the fact she looks identical to Cody but she is beautiful nonetheless and honestly Cody wasn't ugly he was an attractive man on the outside but on the inside he was hideous.
"Mommy has a baby in her tummy," I say with a smile. "You're going to be a big sister!"
"Really?"
"Really," I say with a smile and a bit of excitement. Dean and I have wanted this, I didn't expect it to happen so soon but sure enough we created life again and this time things will be better I know they will.
"I hope this baby doesn't go to Heaven like the other baby did," she says.
"I hope that too," I say with tears in my eyes. "But everything should be okay with this baby."
"I hope," she says. "Can I have a baby brother?" she asks.
"I thought you wanted a baby sister?" I ask.
"I did but now I want a baby brother," she says matter of factly. "I will take a sister too."
"Well, we have a while before we find out," I say, "but I think I want a boy and I know your daddy probably wants a boy too."
"Maybe," she says as she looks at the ultrasound pictures. "Is Daddy going to be here soon?"
"Soon," I say with a smile. "Do you think we should make him a special dinner tonight too?"
"Yeah," she smiles.
"I'm glad you agree because I am already cooking Daddy a nice dinner and then I am going to give him his surprise."
"He will like it," she smiles as I finish up Dean's present. I take it into the bedroom and put it in our closet for now while I get ready to make him his special dinner. Zoey helps me cook him dinner and I remind her not to let the secret out until I can surprise him. She promises me she can keep a secret and I know she's capable of it but sometimes she can get really excited.
Around 7 the front door to the penthouse opens and Dean's security walks in before him and Dean follows behind. He looks so handsome with a fresh haircut, a little scruff on his face dressed in a pair of blue jeans and a white t-shirt that fits tightly on his body exposing his firm chest muscles and his arm muscles. I want to cry at the sight of him, I blame it on the hormones but I just want to cry as I see him standing in the foyer. "Baby!" I say as I hurry over to him, embracing him tightly. He embraces me and the feel of his arms are enough to make me break down into tears.
"Beautiful," he says as he kisses the top of my head. "I told you I would be back. Why are you crying?" he asks softly in his deep voice that soothes me. I pull myself together and break our embrace before kissing his lips softly and passionately letting him know how much I have missed him while he's been away, his deep kiss shows me the same as he cups my face. I hear Zoey giggling down at my side. "Miss me?" he asks breaking the kiss.
"Yeah," I say with a smile. "You have no idea."
"I missed you too," he says before scooping Zoey up in his arms. "I told you I would make it back in one piece."
"I'm glad," I say, "I was worried about you."
"Yeah we will talk about that later," he says. "I have some stuff to talk to you about but right now I need to see my favorite girl," he says before giving Zoey a thousand kisses on her cheek making her giggle. "I missed you too, Zoey, I hope that you made me some new pictures."
"I did," she says with a smile as she hugs him tightly. I love their relationship and interaction with each other. I honestly don't think Cody could be as good of a father to Zoey as Dean is and soon legally Dean will be Zoey's father. She deserves a man that will treat her right and show her how a man treats a woman.
"It smells good in here," he says putting Zoey down so she can get her pictures and crafts she made for him while he was away. "Did you cook dinner, Baby?"
"I did. I made us a very special dinner," I smile.
"I'm starving," he says with a smile. "For you and for food, maybe we could start trying for that baby now. I mean if you're ready."
"We'll talk about it," I say with a smile as Zoey runs into the living room with her pictures for Dean.
"All right," he says with a wink. "I look forward to our talk."
"Oh me too," I smile back.
"LOOK DADDY!" yells Zoey as she shows Dean her artwork.
"Wow, look at that," he says as he goes through her pictures. "It looks like you were painting."
"I did isn't it pretty?"
"Beautiful!" he says making her smile. "When I go back to work on Monday I will make sure I hang them up in my office. It is looking a little dull in there," he says. "I need some color."
"Yeah," she says with a smile.
"Thank-you," he says giving her a kiss on the cheek and then placing her pictures down on the coffee table. "So is dinner ready?"
"Yeah," I say with a smile. "It's ready."
"Let's go eat," he says as we make our way to the dining room where our three places are set at the table. I go into the kitchen to bring into the dining room placing the dinner of baby back ribs, baby carrots and baby potatoes on the table. I put some food on Zoey's plate and then some on my plate as Dean fills his plate. "Looks good," he says but I don't think he understands the theme of the meal. He starts on his ribs and says, "Amazing, Journey."
"Thank-you," I say as we eat a nice family dinner together followed by a desert of mini blueberry pies but he still doesn't get the theme of our dinner. He was just so hungry he inhaled 3 plates of food and then one and half of the mini pies. "I would say you were hungry," I say clearing the table.
"You have no idea but let me take care of cleaning up. You go relax, take a shower, put Zoey to bed and then you and I can talk," he says as I catch the innuendo in the word talk with his wink.
"Are you sure?" I ask.
"I'm sure," he says with a smile.
"Thanks," I say before I get Zoey ready for bed and put her into bed.
"I want you to tell Daddy about the baby," she says to me as we are sitting in her bed.
"I know but it's late and you have preschool tomorrow. I promise I will tell you everything that happens tonight and what Daddy says okay?"
"Okay, Mommy," she says with a smile. "Can we read?" she asks.
"Yes," I say as I grab the Winnie The Pooh book off the nightstand. She smiles as we cuddle close to each other and I read her an adventure of Pooh and his friends before I know it she's sound asleep beside me. I close the book quietly and put it back on the nightstand. I kiss her cheek softly before tucking her in and turning off the light. "Goodnight, Zoey," I say with a smile before I walk out of her bedroom.
I make my way to mine and Dean's bedroom, to our bathroom and start the shower before stripping out of my clothes. I step into the comforting hot water in the cold February night. It feels refreshing as the water hits me. I soak up the water as the glass door opens to the shower, I smile as I see Dean climbing into the shower with his glorious naked body. He is so ripped and muscular. His perfect washboard abs are beautiful, he is beautiful. I smile as I take my hand over his perfect abs. "I thought you might like some company," he smiles.
"I was pretty lonely," I say with a smile as his blue eyes glisten as the water hits his perfect body, soaking his hair. "I really did miss you," I say as I feel his lips on my neck, kissing it softly. "So much," I say as I bite my lip as his hands are on my breasts, kneading them, massaging them as the water hits us. His kisses trailing down lower across my collar bone as my hands grab his shoulders softly, one hand in his hair pulling at the strands as he kisses my breasts, taking one erect nipple into his mouth, sucking on it softly, I tilt my head back and let out a soft moan.
"I missed you too," he says with a smile before sucking on the other nipple. "I missed your beautiful green eyes, your beautiful curly hair, your soft tan skin," he says before kissing my neck again. "Your perfect body, your beautiful face everything about you, your touch, your feel," he says softly making me want him. "I missed you, Journey," he says seductively before his lips are on mine as I wrap my arms around his neck as he backs me up against the shower wall, the water still hitting our bodies as he lifts my leg gently. I feel his erection on my sex, him teasing me softly before he slides into me softly. We let out a moan together, fitting together like the perfect puzzle piece. His kiss deep and passionate as he starts to move inside of me slowly, pulling himself out and thrusting himself back in softly. He makes love to me passionately in the shower, his slow soft gentle movements like Heaven as he hits every soft sensitive spot of my sex. I've had plenty of sex before but nothing compares to the sex I have with my fiancée, the beauty of it, how special it is the connection between us, how gentle and soft he is. He is like a sex God one of the best if not the best. I moan as he makes love to me, I feel the passion burning inside my body, the climax building, tearing through me. I let out a cry as I dig my nails into his back, his mouth on mine stifling a scream of pleasure as I come apart around him. That's all he needs before he comes apart, a loud moan against my lips as he fires his hot release inside of me. I cry out in pleasure as we ride it out together, I cry from the beauty of making love with the man I love and will be with forever. He kisses me deep before removing himself from my body, the fluid slick between my legs. He offers to clean me up and gently washes my body before he allows me to gently wash his perfect body. "I love you, Baby," he says kissing the top of my head.
"I love you too," I say with a soft smile. "I have a surprise for you."
"I can't wait. I love surprises," he says as he turns the water off and opens the glass shower door for me. I step out of the shower and he steps out behind me. I grab my towel off the rack as he does the same. We make our way into the bedroom where I put on a pair of underwear and one of his t-shirts over after I dry myself off as he puts on a pair of grey briefs. I brush through my hair and throw it up into a messy bun. I know I will hate it in the morning but I want to give him his gift. I want to tell him the news.
"All right," I say, "I have a surprise for you."
"So you've said," he smiles. "I'm waiting, is it more love making because I really want to start trying for that baby. Is it that time to be fertile?" he asks and it makes me chuckle because he is anxious about baby making.
"Hold on," I say, "close your eyes." He protests but closes them after a couple seconds. I smile as I walk over to the closet. I pull out the white blanket, the pregnancy test, the ultrasound photos and the chucks with the balloons with a little card attached. I carry it over to the bed and say, "all right open your eyes."
"What is all this?" he asks looking at the balloons and the chucks. "A pregnancy test?" he asks, "it says pregnant 6-7 weeks." He smiles as he picks up the ultrasound photos of our tiny precious baby. "A baby?" he asks with a smile, tears in his eyes as he reads the small card out loud that have a pink hand and blue footprints on it. "I can't wait to meet you, Daddy," he reads and he picks up the pregnancy test again, looks over it and the ultrasound pictures. He breaks down into tears, sobs, heavy sobs causing my own eyes to fill with tears. I walk over and wrap my arms around him as he takes me into his arms as we cry together. "You're pregnant."
"About 7 weeks," I say with a smile, "we're having a baby!" I say through my tears. "We don't have to try," I smile.
"I love you!" he says before embracing me.
"I love you too," I say embracing him, celebrating our joy together.
