A mom for Christmas

home sweet home

Stef's: POV
It's been a long day at Capricorn restaurant. I'm ready to be going home and relax some
Lena called to say that she would be arriving home late. I came home and took a shower and got dinner started
Tonight l'm preparing Lemon pepper chicken breast broccoli and brown rice, Lena and I have cut back on the fried foods. We mainly have chicken and fish, it's much healthier on our cholesterol. Since Lena's trying to get pregnant we changed the way we eat lately, l had a hard time in the beginning. Occasionally l'll have a burger or steak, this weekend we were on relaxing. We don't get a lot of alone time together these days with our jobs, l don't always have to be at the restaurant. Lena on the other hand, is the director of new Haven children's home. Those children love her, l'm hoping Mimi isn't planning coming in town l would like to spend time with my beautiful wife. I know the first thing Lena's gonna wanna do is have a bubble bath once she sees
The table is set with candles and flowers in the center of the table,
Hopefully the IVF treatment worked this time, the last two attempts weren't successful that left us heartbroken, where both healthy people. I hear Lena coming through the door now, baby l'm home she said
Love l'm in the dining room l tell her
I see her taking off her jacket and putting her brief case down. Whatever your cooking smells devine
Lena says to me, as she greets me with a kiss on the lips. Honey how was your day, l ask her a new little girl came in and she doesn't speak
We took the children to the Seattle country fair for the day, they really enjoyed themselves. you should've seen the smiles on their faces, l don't understand why nobody wants these amazing kids. l know they come with a lot of baggage, it's not there fault of how they were brought into the world Lena tells me. Baby you can't keep doing this to yourself all the time, Stef knows how sensitive Lena is when it comes to these kids, l stopped at the 24 hour clinic on the way home. Remember l told you l wasn't feeling good lately. The nurse took some blood work, she said she'll call once the results are back l don't want you to get your hopes this time. I really got a good feeling this time, l have all the classic symptoms of a expected mother to be. I don't want to tell anybody till the second trimester
You know what Casey the nerve to ask me was everything ok between us, l said we were doing okay. I don't know where she gets these crazy ideas from
How long before dinners ready Lena asked, about an hour or so. I want you to go upstairs and have your bath and tried to relax some, please don't worry so much. Maybe later if your up to it we can go for a drive, Stef states. Before I forget Mimi is supposed to coming down next weekend, Lena informed me
Oh goody Stef replied. I thought you liked Mimi babe Lena replies, l do like her when she isn't acting like a total different person when she becomes intoxicated Stef explains. That's why I didn't bother to restock the wine cellar this time, she's decided to stay at the hotel this time. I wish you could get along, l know she's a lot to handle but ever since her parents passed away. Mimi's been a having a difficult time, Lena said. Baby it's been six years they been gone l feel she's using their passing to gain our sympathy Stef told her wife. Who always tries to look for the good in people, Lena thinks for a moment of how Mimi tend to cry on Que. Lena realize that Mimi's playing her all this time, thank you baby for always being so transparent now l'm really up and have my bath. Lena grabs her bag along with her brief case and heads upstairs,
