The Baby Arrangement

3

Miranda's face fell "Aww... so I'm not pregnant." She said sadly.

"Aww as in we are pregnant." Ben said in disbelief bringing the tests in front of her.

Miranda looked down at the test and was overjoyed.

"I'm pregnant." Miranda smiled softly repeating it to herself.

"We're going to have a baby." Ben cheered kissing her cheeks, forehead, then lips.

Miranda kissed him back gently as tears fell from her eyes.

"Benjamin thank you for this. I didn't think it would ever happen." She responded wiping her eyes.

Ben wiped her tears for her and smiled.

"So you doubted me?" He questioned.

"No I didn't doubt you. I was doubting me." She smiled weakly.

"Well now you know there is nothing wrong with you. It was probably Tucker." Ben said nonchalantly and Miranda cracked up.

All the arguments they had about having children and him blaming her for working too much. She had been sleeping with her ex-husband since they first got married and that was 10 years. She slept with Ben for two months and was knocked up.

Miranda laughed some more and wrapped her arms around his waist, since he'd already claimed his favorite spot resting his head in the crook of her neck. She was quiet as she rested her chin on his shoulder.

"Thank you." Ben said. He took her face in his hands and pressed kisses on either of her cheeks. "Thank you so much, Miranda," he kissed her forehead and pulled back to look her in the eyes. "I love you. You're so amazing."

"I am amazing." She smiled.

"Very much so." He replied.

"Finish the food Ben. I'm starving."

Ben let go of her and walked in the kitchen making pancake mix.

"We still need to sort out the details." Miranda informed him.

"I know, because we are splitting the work 50/50. I was thinking I stay with you the first few months when he or she is born because you want to breast feed right?"

"Yes I want to breast feed for 3 months during maternity leave. Then pump when going back to work."

"Right, so it would be better to stay with you during the first 3 months. So I can help."

Miranda nodded her head.

"Once we get to the pumping stage I think we should each do three days. Either every other day or I do three days and you do three days." Miranda suggested.

"Sunday is family day." Ben listed. "We both spend time together on Sundays. Unless we have to work and of course change up the schedule do to work." He explained.

"When do you want to tell people?" Miranda questioned.

"It's up to you. Do you want to wait till your showing.

"We can tell people at 3months, but what are we telling them?"

"We had sex." Ben laughed.

"Benjamin we are not telling people we had sex like that."

"Why not? They are going to figure it out anyway. Your pregnant."

"Okay so maybe lets say I'm pregnant and let them imply the rest."

"Miranda we had sex. Damn good sex and a lot of it."

"I'm well aware." Miranda responded licking her lips. "Which we can't do again."
