The Baby Arrangement

4

Miranda woke up and untangled her legs from Ben so she could stretch.

"Good morning Beautiful." Ben mumbled pulling her back into him placing his hands on her stomach. He rested his head in her breast and sighed.

"Good morning." Miranda smiled rubbing the back of his head massaging it.

Some how his hands moved to her ass and gripped it softly.

"Mmmhm. Don't do that." Miranda moaned lightly her nipples reacting to his touch.

"Sorry." Ben stated.

"Your not." She huffed rolling away from him smacking his chest.

"Make us some food. We are starving." Miranda demanded pushing him off the bed.

"Okay okay." He huffed standing up.

Ben went into the bathroom and brushed his teeth before coming back out looking at Miranda who fell back to sleep.

Walking to the kitchen he began preparing breakfast.

Halfway through Miranda emerged into the kitchen with a large shirt on. Ben eyes swept of her large breast and he licked his lips.

"What did you make?" Miranda asked waiting for his response.

When he didn't respond she followed his gaze and scuffed throwing a dishtowel at his face.

"Ben." She whined.

"Mmm." He said finally looking up at her biting his lip.

"Stop gawking and answer my question."

"I'm sorry. You're distracting me. Where's your um bra." He stuttered out.

"My breast are sore so I took it off. I asked what did you make."

"Oh sorry. I made pancakes, Bacon, grits, and fried potatoes."

"Ooh I'm ready." Miranda said standing to make herself a plate.

"I got it; you should be resting." He said truly concerned.

"I'm pregnant. Not disabled." Miranda reminded grabbing a plate.

She made her a plate then poured some orange juice while Ben made his. Taking a seat Miranda drowned her pancakes in syrup and whipped cream.

Ben looked at her to see if she was really going to eat it like that. Miranda cut the pancakes up and began eating them humming happily.

"Where were you last night?" He finally asked. He saw the dress in her basket and heels on the floor.

"Um with Callie." Miranda lied.

"Oh, did you tell her about the baby?"

"No not yet. I wanted to do it today and maybe tell everyone else too." She suggested. "We could throw a last minute dinner and make the announcement."

"Yeah. I think that's a great idea." He smiled.

"I looked at the schedule and a lot of them are off or are getting off around 6 or 7."

"So 7:30."

"Perfect. I am going to send them a text." Miranda said grabbing her phone.

Miranda: Good morning dinner at my house 7:30. Be there.

"Really Miranda." Ben laughed looking at the group message she sent.

"What?"

"Your text message was anything but nice." He chuckled typing in his phone.

Ben: What Miranda meant to say was that she is throwing a dinner tonight at 7:30 and could you all please be in attendance. If it's not too much being that it is last minute.

Miranda: Benjamin don't correct me I meant what I said. Be there all of you.

"What's your plans for today?" Ben asked.

"I'm going to probably invite Callie to lunch to tell her the news, then come back here take a beautiful nap and after we can go to the grocery store and get stuff for tonight." Miranda explained.

"Okay. I am going to go workout for an hour or so. Go home rest, do some paperwork then pick you up."

"Okay." Miranda nodded grabbing her phone dialing Callie's number.

"Miranda." Callie mumbled sleepily.

"Torres your still sleeping?" Miranda laughed.

"Well yes Bailey. Its 9 something in the morning."

"It's 9:07. " Miranda informed.

"What do I owe the pleasure of this call?"

"We are going to lunch today." Miranda smiled.

"Where's Warren?" Callie nagged.

"Around."

"You've been hanging out with him and spending all your time together. Now suddenly you remember your best friend." She said jealously.

"Callie don't be like that I could never forget you."

"Well you did." She pouted.

"I am sorry. There thee Dr. Miranda Bailey is sincerely apologizing." Plus Callie I don't think you want to miss this lunch."  Miranda teased.

"Gossip?" Callie questioned perking up.

"Mmmhm a lot of it." Miranda sung.

"Okay I'll be there." She laughed and Miranda giggled.

"I'll  text you the time and restaurant."

"Alright Miranda. I'm leaving." Ben told her.

"Your leaving?" Miranda asked confused.

"Yeah we just discussed this."

Miranda huffed before pouting and rolling her eyes walking to her room.

"Miranda what's the problem now?" Ben called out.

Miranda snapped her head towards him and stopped walking. "What do you mean now?"

"Huh?,"

"Just what I asked. You said Miranda what's the problem now. As if I repeatedly have a problem. Am I bothering you Ben Warren?"

Ben watched her shoulders stiffen and her eyebrows furrowed.

"No that's not what I meant at all. I was really asking what's wrong. It was the wrong word choice."

"No if I’m bothering you just say it." Miranda said firmly while eyeing him.

Ben sighed and walked over grabbing her by her waist and pulling her into him. He rubbed her back soothingly.

"You do not bother me. You are literally my favorite person in the entire world."

"Really?" She sniffed in his chest.

"Really. You are everything to me. So dry your tears."

"I'm not crying." She sneered muffling her tears in his shirt.

"My shirt is just magically wet huh?" Ben chuckled.

"Just go with it. I'm hormonal."

"Let's watch a movie of your choice until it's time for your lunch with Callie."

Miranda nodded and grabbed his hand walking into her room. They climbed onto the bed and Ben clicked through movies waiting on a her to make a decision.

"Let's watch my future boyfriend." Miranda clapped happily then laughed at Ben's contorted face. "Do you not want to watch it?" She asked giggling.

"No I don't."

"Ben a guy from 1000 years into the future finds a romance novel written in our time. He travels back in time curiously to figure out what love is. It sounds cute."

"Yeah cute." Ben pouted but cut it on.

He actually expected Miranda to fall asleep like normal, but nope today of all days she was wide awake an hanging on to every word.

As the movie ended Miranda was wiping her eyes.

"Miranda it wasn't even sad."

"No it was beautiful. He came to the future to find out what love is , he still doesn't quite understand it, but he knows that he loves her. That was great."

"Okay you are going to be late to lunch." Ben said standing.

"I got to figure out what to put on." Miranda announced walking into her closet. Miranda came back out with a dress in her hand.

Ben looked up at her as she pulled her big shirt over her head and her bare breast, stomach and panties came into view.

"God." Ben groaned looking her up and down and she was oblivious to his staring and mouth watering. Eventually he turned to look away from her.

"Ben you've seen me naked before." Miranda said looking up at him.

"I know that's the problem. I'm trying to not want you, but you are making it extremely difficult." He responded biting his lips.

Miranda smiled to herself. "What do you want to do to me?" She teased him.

"Mirandaaa." Ben groaned facing her again. He saw the glint in her eyes, so he knew she was playing games.

Ben stood slowly looking at her. He crouched down and kissed her feet, legs and thighs. Slowly rising up stopping in front of her panties he heard her breath hitch. He kissed the outside of her panties more than once french kissing pulling the panties and her lower lips between his.

Whimpering Miranda put her hand on his head pulling his head closer. Moving her hand he kissed up her stomach.

Miranda clicked her teeth he was moving in the wrong direction.

He placed his hands on both sides of her stomach and kissed her lovingly. Moving higher Ben grabbed her full breast and rubbed his hands across. His tongue stuck out and he licked her nipples before wrapping his lips around it.

"Good God." Miranda moaned. Knowing that he was just trying to get her back she rubbed her hand firmly across his member through his pajama pants.

Ben looked her in the eyes before leaning down and kissing her full lips while Miranda's hand palmed his hard on repeatedly. Moaning into his mouth Miranda hands pulled on the bottom of his shirt.

Taking the hint Ben quickly tore the shirt off his body and she licked her lips at his muscular torso.

Ben then grabbed the back of her thighs just under her ass cheeks. He lifted her against his body.  Miranda took her feet and pushed his pajama pants down.

She wanted him now and was dripping wet for him.  Walking over to the bed he fell back with her on top of him. Their lips meeting again in a fiery kiss.

Miranda sat up and pulled his boxers down freeing him. Sighing happily she lowered herself to his penis. Ben grabbed her panties roughly pulling them to the side hearing the seam pop.

Gripping his penis, he placed himself against her rubbing up and down her hot, wet, slit.

Miranda groaned hearing her phone ringing. Sitting up some she looked at Ben she didn't care who ever it was needed to call her back.

Letting it ring she kiss his lips.  Sliding back to his penis.

"Oh my god, who is it?" Miranda said frustrated looking at her ringing phone on the bed.

" oh shit. It's Callie." Miranda said as she sat up some sliding up his chest to reach her phone.

"Miranda I'm here where are you?" Callie questioned.

"I'm sorry Callie there is traffic. I'm coming." she whimpered then bit her lip hard because Ben fingers were rubbing her core and his tongue was flicking her erect nipples.

"You okay. You sound like you're breathing heavily."

I'm uh fine. I was just um rushing." Miranda lied.

"Okay. I'll order you a margarita."

"No water is fine." Miranda insisted.

"Okay see you in a few minutes."

Miranda rolled off of Ben and groaned in frustration looking up at the ceiling. She laughed when he groaned as well.

"I guess we got carried away and went too far." Miranda said clearing her throat.

"Not far enough." Ben huffed. Miranda looked back at him them down his body biting her lip. It had been months since they had sex last, granted they said they were done and wouldn't anymore.

"Okay I'm going to go get dressed." Miranda said sitting up.

"Miranda you look good pregnant." Ben acknowledged.

"You think so?" She blushed.

"I know so. Though it's doing nothing but making my problem worse, but I love you with a bump.

"It's getting bigger everyday." She stated as she stood in front of him covering her breast.

"It's huge."

Miranda raised her eyebrow at him.

"Well it is. Not you, but it."

Miranda smiled and nodded before pulling her lavender colored dress on having her belly on full display. She grabbed new panties and rushed into the bathroom fixing herself before sliding on her sandals.

"Okay I got to go see you in about 2 hours." Miranda said grabbing her purse.

"Okay I got to take a cold shower." Ben insisted standing up.

"I am so sorry I'm late." Miranda said rushing in the restaurant.

"Oh my God Miranda. " Callie exclaimed looking at her stomach.

"I know." Miranda gushed standing in front of Callie letting her touch it.

"Don’t tell me you slept with Tucker?" Callie questioned shocked.

"No of course not. It's not Tuckers baby." Miranda laughed.

"Well fill me in I want to know." She stated sipping her margarita.

"Remember a few months ago or even earlier today you said that I have been spending a lot of time with --

"Ben!? Miranda you have been sleeping with Ben and you're pregnant by Ben?"

Miranda nodded dipping her tortilla chips in salsa.

"How in the hell did that happen? Oh my God when you picked up the phone earlier you were having sex? That's what was all the heavy breathing."

"No I wasn't. I wanted to, but we were interrupted, but I guess it was for the best we said we wouldn't do it anymore."

"Start at the beginning." Torres encouraged.

"Okay Ben and I both wanted a baby. We are established and have the career of our dreams, but no spouses or kids. So we just decided to have a baby together as best friends. We trust each other and we know that we will be there for each other and our baby." She explained.

"So stemming from our conversation earlier you did it traditionally and not the clinic."

"Yes we had sex to achieve this." Miranda laughed.

"How was it?" Callie asked wiggling her eyebrows.

"Addicting and the best sex of my life. Callie we had so much sex that some days I literally had trouble walking. The orgasms were so intense that they leave you damn near paralyzed for a few minutes with pleasure shooting up and down your body like waves crashing on the sand."

"Damn. You two are not together though?"

"No we are still just friends and will stay friends no matter how good the sex is." She responded in between sips of her water.

"Why? you like him Miranda. You have liked him since the day you met him. I understand you didn't want to date right after the divorce but that was so long ago."

"I just-- Callie I don't know how to date or be in a relationship. My last relationship was my only relationship and that didn't go good at all. Ben is a great guy and the sweetest man I've ever known. I just think it's better if we do this as friends. "

"Miranda Tucker wasn't a real man and he wasn't your one. But you can't find your one if you don't try." Callie expressed.

"I'm okay like this." Miranda said firmly.

"Yeah, but what are you going to do when Ben eventually does get a girlfriend or starts dating Melanie."

"It won't bother me." Miranda scoffed.

"Your lying and you and I both know it. Imagine her holding your baby and Ben comes in and wraps his arms around her waist, kisses her cheek and then they are staring down at --

"Enough I don't want to imagine anyone holding my baby. Cause nobody will be holding my baby because you know why?... it's my baby." Miranda growled.

"Alright alright, but I think you should rethink your decision. You are both in love with each other whether you admit it or not."

"Let's just order our food because I'm starving." She stated changing the subject and opening up her menu.

As if on cue the waitress came to take their orders.

"Can I take your order and get you something other than water?"

"Yes I will have a tea and lemonade half and half and then I will have your number 15 one burrito, one enchilada, and three tacos all the way. Can I also get a side of guacamole and a large bowl of white cheese sauce." Miranda listed out before closing her menu.

Miranda listened as Callie gave her order in Spanish.

"You don't have to be a show off." Miranda said pursing her lips.

"Ehh just a little knowledge. So dinner tonight are you making the announcement?"

"Yes." Miranda smiled wearily.

"How are you going to do it. Are you doing cute little announcement bags or some kind of game." Callie asked excitedly.

"No. I’m just going to say hey everyone I'm pregnant and it's Dr. Ben Warren's baby." Miranda stated dully

"Really Bailey? That's boring."

"Well what do you suggest?"

"I think that you should give everyone a letter and see how long it take the doctors to figure out the word pregnant." She smiled clapping at her own idea.

"That might be too easy don't you think and it's more people than the word pregnant. That's only 8 letters. If everyone shows it will be at least 15 of us at the dinner."

"Okay what about the phrase "Baby Warren loading" and if it's extra letters you can have them." Callie suggested.

"I like that Idea." Miranda grinned. "And since it is your idea I expect you to put it together and show up early."

"Of course... I'm the Godmother it's my job." Callie smiled widely.

"Godmother?" Miranda asked pursing her lips.

"Well who the hell else are you considering?" She huffed before crossing her arms.

"Torres I'm just joking. I can't think of anyone more worthy of the title and job." Miranda said putting her hand across her.

"How many people know? It's Ben, you and me?" Callie asked.

"And April Kepner." Miranda whispered the name trying to look elsewhere.

"Kepner?! You told Kepner before me?"

"In my defense. Kepner is a very smart young woman. She figured it out yesterday. She walked in and told me she bought me extra food because she knows pregnant woman eat a lot."

"Damn even I didn't put two and two together."

"Yeah, but I would have told you first." Miranda assured. "I still have to tell my parents."

"Good luck with that one." Callie mumbled.

"Exactly."
