�That was one Hell of a pass there, Michael.� Peter said as they were sitting in the changing room after the game.

�I�ll second that Spencer. Gulliver your turning into a Hell of a player.� The Sheriff said as he began to take off his skates.

�Thanks Coach.� Michael said, blushing slightly from the complements coming from the two men he had come to respect and to became friends with.

�Hay Mike, how�s Maria?� Chuck the team goalie asked.

�She fine.� Michael answered as he pulled his shirt off.

�She sure is fine.� Larry from the hardware store piped in.

Peter chuckled when he saw that his friend was getting ready to pounce on Larry. �Lay off Cooper, Mike here looks like he�s ready to spit nails at you.�

�Well lets hope there better than the crap he sells at the store.� Tony, the other deputy joked.

All the men started to laugh. �Yeah Larry, I bought some nails the other day and they bent after two whacks.� Chuck said while punching Larry lightly in the arm.

�Alright, alright. Very funny.� Larry said as he got up and went into the showers.

�Hay Mike, I was serious earlier. How�s Maria?� Chuck asked again.

�I told you Chuck she�s fine. Why the interest in Maria all of a sudden?� Michael asked getting a little worried that Chuck might know something about him and Maria.

�Well I saw her standing in front of the store across the street from the barber shop today staring at the display window for about 20 minutes.� He explained.

Michael laughed. �Maria was probable staring at some sweater or something and was thinking up different ways to ask me about taking money out of our savings to buy it.�

�Yeah, well that kinda makes sense. The only thing is that she was staring at a baby display.� Chuck said.

Michael looked around as all the men in the locker room started to laugh. �Oh man you are so on your way to the �TALK�.� Tony laughed as he patted Michael on the back.

�Excuse me. What the Hell are you talking about and why is everyone laughing.� Michael demanded.

�Well son, it�s this way. When a woman is in a loving and caring relationship they tend to want to bring another person into the relationship.� The sheriff explained.

�Yeah and it isn�t your typical three way fantasy either.� Tony said.

�Exactly, Michael have you noticed that Maria has started to act a little funny lately?� Peter asked his poor clueless friend. �Like tonight when she asked to feed Josh and then later actually volunteer to change his smelly, poopy diaper.�

�So what does that have to do with anything?� He asked not sure he like the direction this conversation was heading.

The sheriff chuckled. �It means son that you wife has baby fever and she about to bug you about how much she wants a baby.�

�Yup. Be prepared for a lot of comments like. �Oh Michael wouldn�t it be wonderful to have a little baby of our own. A little bit of me and a little bit of you.�� Tony added.

�Hell, Karen didn�t even spring the TALK on me. Not my wife, she just stop taking her birth control pills and then announces she pregnant at dinner one night while asking me to pass her the ketchup. I always get a little nervous now whenever she asks for a condiment.� Peter ranted to his buddies.

�Spencer, never let it be said your wife isn�t a pip.� The sheriff said while chuckling at his deputy.

�You all are nuts. Maria does not have baby fever. She was probable just looking at the display to buy something for Josh and tonight she was just trying to help Karen out since you were to busy shoveling food into your mouth to help your wife.� Michael reasoned.

�Sure Michael, what every you say.� Peter said, patronizing his friend.

�Besides, Maria knows that we can�t afford a baby anyway. I mean, Ruthie�s great to us and all but we�re no were near comfortable enough to afford a baby.�

�Hate to be the one to brake it to you buddy, unless your last name is Rockefeller you�ll never going to feel you can afford a kid. You can�t worry about the money thing all the time.� Peter explained.

�Maybe not, but we don�t have insurance or anything. No Maria knows now isn�t the time for a kid.� Michael reiterated.

Michael and Peter watched as the sheriff got up and walked over to Tony and spoke softly into his ear and saw Tony shake his head in a yes manner before the sheriff turned around and spoke to Michael.

�Well, I might have an offer for you kid. Look we�re not going to officially announce this for a few months; but Tony just got word, he�s been accepted into the Mounties and he leaves for training in April and I�ve been thinking about a replacement and both Peter and Tony think you would be a good fit in the sheriff department.� He explained.

Michael looked over at the three men, he couldn�t believe what was being offered to him. That he, Michael Guerin proverbially bad seed being offered a job as a deputy. �Are you serious?�

�Yup. I was going talk to you about it next month, but hay since you brought up your situation I figured now was as good a time as any.� The sheriff said.

�Wow.� Michael said while getting up and pacing.

�Look, you don�t have to commit to anything right now. Go home, talk to your wife, see how she feels about it. We have plenty of time to work things out.� Encourage the sheriff.

Michael shook his head dumbfoundly, still shock at what was being said. He was pulled out of his thoughts when he heard Chuck screeching in the showers. �God dammit, Larry did you have to use all the hot water.�

Michael and the other looked at each other before they shrugged their shoulders and started getting dressed in their street clothes, they could wait to shower until they got home. It was one thing to skate on the ice, it was another to take an ice cold shower.

************************************************************************

Peter dropped Michael off and Michael quietly climb the stair and headed into the bathroom. He didn�t want to wake Maria up just yet, imagine his surprised when he opened the door and walked in to find his Maria soaking in a bubble bath with a facecloth over her eyes.

�How was the game?� She asked as she slid the clothe off her face and look at her lover and father of her child.

�We won.� Michael answered as he walked over and gave her a kiss. He chuckled when he pulled back and saw Maria raise her hand and pinch her nose.

�Eww, couldn�t you wash up before you came home. You smell worst than Josh�s diaper.� She fussed.

�Sorry, showers were only offering cold water and freezing my b-alls off anymore than they already were wasn�t my idea of fun.� Michael said as he started to strip off his clothes an placing them in the hamper.

When he was done he turned to see his angel smirking at him. �Got something to say?� He asked.

Maria licked her lips, she didn�t care what anybody thought but she loved to look at her Michael when he was naked. �You know, I don�t remember you being so well defined before. I think all the chopping and shoveling has really paid off. Your muscles are so much more�defined.� She said in a breathy voice.

Michael smirked. �Too bad I smell or I would join you. I guess I just sit here until your done and then take a shower.�

Maria narrowed her eyes. �I don�t think so buddy. I think you better get that peach fuzz butt of yours over here and join me. I�ll wash your back if you good.�

Huffing he walked over to the tub and slide down into the warm water across from her. Making she was busy preparing a sponge for him, he ran his hands over her feet. Grasping her ankles he yanked her forward and pulled her up to him. Lifting her lightly he maneuvered her so that he ass was resting on his thighs and his c-ock was brushing against her honey curls.

�I think you should wash more than my back.� Michael purred into Maria�s ear as he started to kiss her neck.

Moaning she reached behind her and grabbed the sponge and body wash. Wrapping her arms around his middle she rested her head on his shoulder and watched as she squeezed the creamy soap onto the sponge. Squishing the sponge a few times to get a lather before she tossed the bottle onto the floor.

Slowly she pulled back from Michael and dipping her hand with the sponge into the water before she touched it to his lower belly and caressed her way up to his shoulders.
Michael grunted as she reached out her other hand to take one of his hand, lifting it so that she could extend his arm out as she dipped the sponge again before washing his arm and then the other.

Sliding back further Maria lifted his leg and place his calf on her thigh as she rubbed the sponge up and down his muscular leg and along his foot before she turned and applied the same loving care to his other limb.

Smiling Maria scurried back up to wrap her arms around him, dipping the sponge into the water and eased him forward so that she could messaged the soap over his taunt round globes before sliding the sponge up and down his back.

Michael was in heaven. Every one of his nerve ending was alive and turned on completely by what Maria was doing to him. He hissed when she dropped the sponge and reached around him to grab the hose attachment and the water hit him for the first time.

�Turn around and lean back so I can wash your hair.� Maria commanded in a soft whisper.

He didn�t know what part of his brain was still functioning, but he did as he was told and couldn�t stop the low moan from escaping his lips as Maria ran her hands through his hair, scrubbing the shampoo against his scalp. Soon she was rinsing the suds away and was resting against the tub with Michael resting against her.

Giggling Maria pushed him up a little so that she could reach around him to grab the sponge she had discarded a few minutes earlier. �I forgot to wash you someplace pretty important.� She said while kissing him on his shoulder.

�Oh.� Michael answered, amazed that his brain was able to decipher the words since he was pretty sure he couldn�t form a complete sentence if his life depended on it.

�Yes sir.� Maria said as reached down and ran a finger along Michael�s c-ock.

�Oh damn.� Michael panted, knowing he would never be able take whatever torture his lover was planning. His c-ock as rock hard and pressing against his stomach already.

�Un hun.� She moaned as she slid her hand up and down his d-ick before rubbing it gently with the sponge.

Michael couldn�t stand it. His hips bucked at the first touch and he was sure he would come at any moment. He hissed when she pulled the sponge away and breathed a sigh of relief but was moaning again when he felt her gliding her weapon of choice over his
b-alls.

�Ohohohohohohoh!!! Please..please..please stop I can�t take this!! Oh God, please Maria I need to be inside youuuuuu!! Michael begged.

Not waiting for her to answer him, he grabbed her hands and pulled them away from his crotch and before Maria could register what was happening Michael spun around and pulled he onto his lap sliding his c-ock into her tight s-lit.

Maria couldn�t stop the grunt that escaped her lips as Michael grabbed her hips sliding her up and down his c-ock. God every time they were together it was like coming home again.

Wrapping her arms around him Maria rested her head on his shoulders as his thrust slowed down and she could enjoy the feel of her breast rubbing against his chest, her nipples hardening from the friction.

The end was always special for them. No matter how fast and furious they may be going at it the end was always slow and tender. Each thrust connecting them forever in their harts.

Pulling back slightly, Michael captured Maria lips in a gently chaste kiss before he mated his forehead to hers, unable to stop staring into her eyes. Her eyes that were open for him to see all the love she held just for him.

Moaning, Michael slide is hand down to Maria�s p-ussy and glided his thumb over her sensitive c-lit helping her reach her peak as he continue to pump into her. Grunting he sped up a little when he felt her walls start to clamp down on his c-ock never once letting them loose eye contact.

Groaning he felt Maria and himself tumbling over the edge together as they both came screaming together while lost in each other gaze. Michael felt light headed and moaned as suddenly a white light flashed through his mind.

He felt dizzy as he was bombarded with flashes of himself and Maria. One was of a nude Maria laying on their bed as Michael gently rubbed his hand over her swollen belly. Another one hit him of Maria screaming in pain as she gave birth to a baby. The flashed started to come faster and faster and Michael was barely able to understand them. He saw snippets of him and Maria and a baby playing or having a picnic together, but most went by too fast and he couldn�t decipher them.

After what seemed to be hours but couldn�t have been more than seconds Michael felt himself become aware of his surroundings. He saw that Maria was staring at him and he could see how concerned she was.

�Michael, baby are you ok?� Maria asked as she gently stood up, sliding off of Michael�s c-ock and reaching for a towel to wrap around her self.

Quickly she got out of the tub and grabbed another towel and gave Michael a hand in standing up. Swiping the towel over him she wrapped it around his waste and helped him out of the tub.

Wrapping his arm around her shoulder and hers around his waste Maria guided Michael out of the bath and into their room. Silently thankful that she remembered to start a fire before she went to take her bath.

It took her a few seconds to get Michael over to the fireplace and to lay him down on the pallet she had placed there earlier while reading in front of the fire. She placed a pillow under his head before she ran over to the bed to grab a throw blanket to place over him.

After she had Michael tucked in she laid down next to him and ran her fingers through his hair. �Michael, please can you talk? What�s wrong are you hurt?� She cried softly burying her head in his chest.

She sighed in relief when she felt Michael reach out from under the blanket and rubbed his hand on her back. �You�ll catch a cold laying here damp and wearing nothing but a towel.�

�Oh Michael.� She sobbed as all her fear of losing Michael seem to hit her at once.

�Shush, I�m ok. I just got a little dizzy there for a minute. I�m fine honest.� He said as he lifted the blanket and pulled Maria closer so that he could wrap it around both of them.

�What happened in there. You weren�t just dizzy, you passed out for a full minute.� She said, rubbing her hand over his chest. She couldn�t stop touching him, it was as if she was afraid he would disappear if she did.

�Maria, did Liz ever tell you anything about when Max healed her? About seeing things?� He asked.

�Un huh, she said Max called them flashes. Is that what happened? Did you see flashes?�
She urged gently.

�Yeah, I think so. I just think that between the flashes and the orgasm it sent me into over load and that�s why I passed out.� He explained.

Maria thought about it for a few seconds. It made sense, just their orgasms alone were usually pretty intense then go throwing flashes in must have been overwhelming. She was deep in thought when she realized Michael hadn�t told her everything.

�Michael, what did you see.� She finally asked. Noticing how Michael took a deep intake of breath. �Oh God, it was something bad wasn�t it.� She moaned.

Michael looked down and realized that she was shaking in fear that he had seen something bad, when in fact he had seen something he had always wanted but thought he would never have.

�No Maria, it wasn�t anything bad. I just don�t know why I saw what I saw. It just doesn�t make sense.� He explained.

�Then tell me what you saw.� She demanded, she didn�t like being left in the dark.

Michael swallowed, he didn�t want to upset Maria and he wasn�t sure if what he saw would upset her, but he had promised her that they wouldn�t keep secrets anymore. So he took a deep breath and told her the truth. �I saw us, you and me. I also saw someone else Maria. I saw a baby.�

�Oh my God. You saw the baby.� Maria gasped as she sat up so she could look Michael in the eyes.

�What do you mean that I saw �the baby�?� Michael asked as he watched Maria�s hand clasp over her tummy.

Smiling, she laid back down and kissed Michael gently on the lips before whispering in his ear. �Michael, I have to tell you something.�
