Chapter two
hundred and thirty one:
Becky found Zac
sitting in his room playing video games. She watched him quietly from the door
before entering the room. He had put on a pair of clean boxers, but had other
wise been the same than when she left him last.
She crouched
behind him and looped her arms around his bare shoulders, folding her hands
over his bare chest.
Zac paused his game. “Becca… you’re back so soon?”
“Yeah.” She smiled. “Looks like
“Uhh, it’s the new star wars game… want
to play?”
“I don’t think
I’d be any good at it.” She admitted dropping her hands on her knees.
“I can teach
you, here.” He crawled towards the television on his hands and knees to
retrieve the other controller.
Becky giggled.
“Why are you still in your underwear?”
He laughed and
sat back next to her, handing her a controller. “Well, I thought that if we
weren’t doing anything, I might as well just stay in my underwear. Like the
good old days…”
Becky shook her
head. “You’re absolutely insane.”
“I know.” He
moved closer to her. “Okay, this game is really easy You
just press this button to shoot, and this button to walk, and this button to
jump.”
“Alright.” Becky said slowly, glancing from the
television to the controller.
“And when you’re
ready, you press this button and it un-pauses the game.”
“Okay.” Becky
squared her shoulders, and Zac nearly laughed out loud. She un-paused the game,
and immediately hit a button she shouldn’t have, and shot something she wasn’t
supposed to.
She tried to
walk somewhere and was shot.
“Whoa,
whoa! You’re killing
my guy here, Becca!” He protested.
“I’m sorry.” She
paused the game and handed the controller back
quickly.
“No, no, don’t give
up.” He smiled. “Come here.” He tapped her hip and helped her into his lap. He
put his arms around her to hold the controller. “Put your hands over mine.” He
instructed. “you’ve got to watch the screen and not
the controller.”
She nodded
quickly. His hot breath on her skin was sending tremors down her spine.

Christy removed
a shirt from a box marked “Christy-clothes”. She held it up to herself and
briefly thought about the fact that in a couple of months, she wouldn’t fit
into it.
She erased the
thought from her mind. She was sure she’d be able to find some adorable
maternity clothes, and if not, she was sure Becky and Jen could help her find
some.
She re-folded
the shirt and tucked it into her suitcase.
Isaac came into
the room and looped his arms around her waist, gently kissing her neck.
Christy giggled.
“Well, our
appliances are all in. We can have a nice home cooked meal tonight.”
Christy smiled.
“Great.”
“You’re not finished
packing yet?”
“No,” She sighed
heavily. “It seems kind of ironic to be unpacking from a box just to be packing
into a suitcase.”
Isaac didn’t
reply. He simply stood, running his hands along Christy’s stomach, feeling for
any kind of change, no matter how small.
She laughed.
“Honey… that tickles.”
“Sorry.” He
smiled at himself. “I can’t help it. I’m excited.”
“I’m not even
showing yet. But when I am you’ll be the first to know.”
He grinned. “Of
course I will, with the way we’ve been going at it.”
Christy laughed
and turned in his arm, wrapping her arms around his shoulders. “Sorry about
that… I asked the doctor about it-“
“I was there. I
remember.” He laughed.
“No, I mean
after you left… See…” She blushed slightly. “Sit down, honey.” She urged.
Isaac knew
something was up. Christy wasn’t easily embarrassed, and was often open about
sex with him.
“When you left,
I asked the doctor… I mean, since I’ve been pregnant—especially lately—I’ve
noticed that I’ve been wanting … it much more than
normal. You know?”
Isaac raised his
eyebrows. “Oh.”
“And the doctor
said that um… that it was normal and that some women found that it felt… better
when pregnant.”
“Oh… okay…”
“And I’m finding
that there are all kinds of weird… moments of the day that I really…. Really…
want… you…” She urged him into a reclining position on the bed and climbed on
top of him.
Isaac swallowed,
but didn’t protest. He let her kiss him hungrily. “Like now?” He asked.
