Decorating:
Carly's next task was setting up the Christmas tree. It took her forever to arrange the ornaments so they looked just right. She placed some wrapped gifts under the tree. Most of them were for the baby. She had wrapped up some toys, clothes, and a box of diapers.
"The tree looks great," Jason said as he joined Carly in the living room. "What exactly have you done to my place?"
"It's our place now, Jason. I want to redecorate. I saw this amazing wallpaper at Wyndhams. We just gotta have it. It would look great in here."
"Carly, I dunno. I am not sure if ..."
"But Jase, I love it...and I have so much fun decorating," Carly stated. "You said I did an amazing job on the baby's room."
"Yeah, you did. Okay. Buy some wallpaper. Redecorate. I don't care."
She threw her arms around him again with great enthusiasm. "I am sooo happy!"
"That's because you're spending all of my money."
Carly laughed. "You know I love to shop."
"That you do," he said with a chuckle. "The tree looks nice and the baby's room is in order. Now it's time we both got some sleep. You have a doctor's appointment tomorrow morning."
She nodded. "Good night, Jason." She kissed his cheek, letting her soft lips linger against his skin.
Ohhh how she wanted more - to sleep in his bed and have him hold her all night long. She missed having physical contact with him. She had been denied far too long.
"Sleep well, Carly," said Jason before they both headed off toward their separate bedrooms.
