| He took her delicate hand in his and led her upstairs to their room. Once in the room he told Michaela to put something more comfortable.
�Comfortable? How do you expect me to get comfortable with my stomach as big as it is?� ~ ~ ~ Katherine and the kids were having a blast. The children reminded Katherine of the time when Sully and William were younger. They used to stay up late on the weekends baking cookies and having fun together. She missed William very much. She never exactly knew what had happened that made him leave so abruptly. She looked at the children and saw them laughing. Over the past months she had become very attached to them, especially little Brian. He was so full of life, and always knew how to brighten her day. He also gave the best hugs. �Don�t you dare!� She was brought out of her daydream only to see Matthew hold up a handful of flour and aimed it at Colleen. Colleen was running all over the kitchen trying to take cover while Brian laughed. Matthew finally threw the flour he held thinking he had a clear shot of Colleen, but instead he hit Katherine right in the face. Matthew froze scared of what Katherine was going to do. Katherine looked at them and to their surprise the only thing that came out of her mouth was, �FOOD FIGHT!!� Everyone grabbed the first thing they found and before long they were all covered from head to toe with things like chocolate syrup, sprite, and flour. Katherine managed to look at the time and saw that it was nearing midnight. She raised her hands up and made the children stop. Once they had settled down she sent them upstairs to clean up and get ready for bed. The children were upstairs and Katherine was in the kitchen cleaning up. She heard someone knocking at the door and went to answer it. She wasn�t expecting any visitors at this late hour. So when she opened the door and saw who it was she was surprised. �What are you doing here?� Chapter 17 Michaela was still trying to find a comfortable place on the bed, but her stomach was not cooperating. She closed her eyes as she rubbed her stomach �Just two more months and this will all be over.� She felt the baby kick and she began to hum the song Sully had sang to her earlier hoping it would work its charm again. Meanwhile Sully was busy drawing a nice warm bubble bath to help his wife relax. As the tub was filling up he lit some candles and put some classical music on. Once he made sure everything was perfect he went back to their room. He opened the door and saw Michaela lying down with rubbing her stomach while she hummed. �Michaela?� �Hmmm?� �Are you ok?� �Yes�just singing to our little one.� Sully walked over to the bed and took her delicate hand in his helping her stand up. He looked into her eyes and ran a finger across her cheek and lips. She tilted her head up inviting his lips to meet hers. Sully leaned in to press a soft kiss on her lips. His hands ran down her body and she felt tingles go down her back. �Hey� Why are you crying?� �Oh Sully�How did I ever get so lucky?� �I think I�m the one that got lucky Michaela. Don�t cry�� He gently wiped away a tear from her cheek.�Sully�We�We can�t �� �Shh�Trust me.� He took her hand and led her out of their room into the bathroom. Michaela was not expecting to find what she saw. �Oh Sully�� �Figured my wife could use a little pampering.� He looked at her and saw her eyes were beginning to feel up with tears. CONTINUE |
