Take Flight

Is It True ?

"Hi stranger."

She climbs on top of the bed and lays down on your lap. She's shining, her thin white shirt barely hiding her naked body underneath, her hair wet from the shower she just took. She's smiling, looking right into your eyes.

"Hiya back."

You smile back at her, you can't help it really, and bend over to kiss her perfectly smooth forehead, making her quietly giggle. Her perfect laugh, her perfect lips. Getting to stare at her everyday is the best gift life has ever given you.

"Watcha readin' ?"

She rolls on her stomach to get a better look at you, her bright smile still plastered on her face.

"Nothin'," you answer teasingly.

"Oh yeah ?"

She laughs and gets on her hands and knees to move on top of you and slowly get her lips close to yours. She stops right before your mouths meet. You can feel her breath on your face, she still smells like the mint of the toothpaste, a smell of early mornings and tired nights. She smells good. She looks even better. How lucky, is the question you ask yourself everyday, without finding an answer, if there is any. Her bright blue eyes are staring right into your soul, and she knows the way by heart. Her lips brush yours softly, until they melt together into a sensual kiss, full of lust, but filled with even more love. Neither of you wants to part from the other until you're forced to let go to breathe again. She's still smiling.

"I love you."

"I love you too, Angelina."

She gets off the bed, still looking at you over her shoulder and throws a random pair of pants at you. You barely catch before it hits you right in the face.

"Get dressed, sleepyhead."

"I thought you liked my pj's !" you yell as she's already left the room.

"Try without !"

You laugh at her reply and toss your book on the side to get ready as she asked. It doesn't take you long to shower and you're in and out of the bathroom faster than either of you would have thought you would. You silently walk i to the kitchen and hug Angelina from behind, startling her a bit. You can feel her body relax under your touch and you bury your face into her hair, internalizing every detail of her for the millionth time. She turns around in your arms to kiss and takes a quick look at your outfit.

"You might want to wear something a bit more... sporty ?"

"Why ? You don't like these ? You threw them at my face."

She chuckles.

"No. I love them. Especially on you. But we're going on a small hike today."

"Are we ?"

"Yep."

You let go of her as you feel her trying to walk towards the living room, and follow her closely. She picks up a few toys Maddox left on the ground and that one of you felt the courage to pick up the night before. You lean against the door frame, waiting for more information as to what you were exactly doing today, as you obviously weren't told about the program. She stands again and looks at you with a smile.

"I called Mad's nanny three or four days ago so that she could stay the whole day. That way we have today all for us."

"Already getting rid of your child ?"

She takes on a fake offended expression, backing away a bit, a hand on her chest as if you had insulted her. You both laugh it off just a second later and she steps towards you, taking your hand in hers softly before looking back into your eyes.

"You know I would never. I just wanted today to be just about... us. I wanted it to be... just us. So I took the initiatives myself. It's a great little hike. Not long, and there's a... a great spot up on the hill. Perfect for a picnic. Which I prepared last night."

"That's what you were hiding," you jokingly state.

"Oh c'mon. I wasn't hiding."

"But hold on. You cooked ?"

"Oh, you !!"

She innocently slaps your arm with that same offended look she had dropped just a few seconds ago. You can't help but laugh. She may be older than you, she's the cutest out of you both. Or that's what you would declare.

"It's not like I cooked a turkey, don't worry you'll be fine. I don't want you intoxicated right now."

She flashes a bright smile and keeps going before you can even react.

"So... We should get going ! It's 10:18 already, and if we want to eat that delicious picnic before noon, we can't wait much longer."

She's about to walk back to the kitchen but you hold onto her hand, making her turn back to you with a wondering look on her face.

"What is this for, Angelina ? Is it..."

She cuts you off by putting a finger on your lips. She's got that special smile on her lips.

"Please don't ruin it."

"Angelina..."

"Please, let me do it the way I planned it."

"So it is tr..."

She kisses you to make you shut up before resting her forehead on yours, eyes shut and a wide smile still painted on her lips.

"It is. Honey, I..."

She looks up to you, but you're already half gone. She knows the moment she looks into your eyes, she knows about the chaos about to flood in and she immediately grabs your head gently between her hands to make you look at her. In that moment, the role switch back to her being the older, more experienced and mature woman. You feel like a child learning how to walk again.

"Is it true ?" you barely hear yourself ask.

You both slowly fall to your knees, Angelina's hands still gaming you face as your legs intertwine. You can't feel them anymore.

"It is. Honey look at me."

You obey, your eyes already filling with tears even though she hasn't said the words yet. She doesn't need to. You know. You already know. But you also know it won't feel totally real until she tells you, but you can't help but be scared and nervous. Never would you have believe you'd expect to hear these words in your life but here it is, you are now waiting for them to come out of the mouth of the woman you are crazy about, and for.

"We're going to have a baby. I'm pregnant."
