She was lying on her side facing away from me. I decided on a bolder up front approach. If there was something going wrong between us I wanted to know about it now!
"Asia what's wrong?"
She glanced back at me and then back the way she was and mumbled something. I pulled her over flat onto her back.
"Repeat please."
She started crying then and it was the most pitiful sight I'd ever seen.
"Honey what's wrong?" I begged, in need to know what was bothering her so much.
"I'm pregnant!" She said on a rising moan.
I relaxed instantly, as I'd been expecting this. Gently, I wiped at her tears with the corner of the blanket. "Honey, if you play around with each other the way we do, babies often do result from it."
"You're not mad?" She asked tearfully.
"Why would I be mad?" I asked puzzled.
"Because it's the wrong time! We have to break the Code, practically even save the world! How am I going to save the world if I'm pregnant?" She was practically hysterical at this point.
"Don't you want children?" Oh boy was that the wrong question to ask! Now she was really crying hysterically and I tried everything to calm her down, but it didn't work.
She began to blubber, "I adore children! I've wanted nothing more than to hold my own child in my arms and sing to it and care for it and love it like I wasn't! I want to be happy, but……"
I stopped her, "Be happy!" I stated firmly.
I further added, "This is a good thing, a very good thing! Yes, maybe it's bad timing, but we can work with it. Everything is going to be fine Asia! Now for your sake and especially our babies please calm down."
She nodded reluctantly. I touched my hand to her lower abdomen and asked, "What do you think we should name him?"
A tremulous smile came out on her face, "You think it's a boy?"
"Of course it's a boy!" She rolled her eyes at me and I laughed.
Shyly she looked up at me, "Thanks!"
I took my hand from her and placed it over my heart before putting it back over her womb, "No, it's me that wants to thank you for carrying my child." I kissed her wet cheek and then her lips sweetly. Drawing back I saw sparkles of colors in her eyes.
"You're amazing!" She whispered up at me.
"Hey stop inflating my ego so much. I won't fit through the door soon."
She giggled, "You want me to stop?"
"Never!" I said before beginning to kiss her more passionately.
