Chapter 22: Marriage is great

Seven months later, in April 2000:

We have been married for seven months now, and things are still going great; we went to the doctor after we returned from our honeymoon. We were right on the conception date, so Stephanie is right at eight months now and due in four weeks.

She is even more beautiful carrying our baby, she is glowing, and she just makes me feel loved. I have fallen more and more in love with her with every day that has passed. 

She worked out her notice at Millineum, and we moved back to Boston full-time two months ago. She has kept the apartment in New York, and that's fine; it's her's something she bought and paid for completely by herself. 

We would come back to Boston a couple of times a month, and of course our first trip back, I had to carry her over the threshold. She has been added to all my accounts, deeds, and titles. 

I can't even describe the feeling she gives me when I see her. She smiles at me, and my heart flutters, even after almost fourteen years of being in each other's life. 

Her smile can light my entire soul on fire. She has been with me through my entire career; even tho she left me, she was still in my heart.

I tried to get us to discuss our discretions that happened while we were split up. She refused; she said there was no need for either of us to hear about our time apart.

It's not that I wanted to hear about other men kissing her and sleeping with her. I just wanted to get everything out in the open between us so there were no secrets between us. 

She said we will talk about it one day, so I am just patiently waiting for us to talk, and I will wait until she is ready. 

I just want her to know how truly unhappy I was while we were apart. I want to know how the guys she dated and slept with treated her. I want to make sure that she wasn't treated like an object because she is so much more. 

She is my reason for waking up every day; even when we were apart, I would wake up with the hope we would be reunited, and now we are. 

Her belly is so cute as it grows our child. We found out what we are having, and I am actually pretty excited to see our beautiful daughter.

We had our baby shower two weeks ago, and we decorated the nursery for our little bundle of joy. At first, when she started getting her baby bump, she would try to hide it. 

I told her not to do that. I would even walk over to her and pull her shirt up just so I could look at our baby. By month four, she finally just started wearing halter tops around the house, even in winter. 

That baby bump always turned me on. I don't know if that's weird, but when I see it, I want her. I mean, that's nothing new she can turn me on with just a smile. 

I walk into the nursery I know she is rocking in the rocking chair we got at our shower. I stand at the door as I watch her; she is holding a small little white bunny as she rocks, rubbing her belly. 

"Hey, baby, you okay?"

"Yea, I was just sitting here thinking that our daughter will be here next month. I am scared and yet excited."

"I know you are scared, but you don't need to be scared, baby. She is healthy, and she is going to be just as beautiful as you. That scares me because I am going to have to fight the boys off because she is going to be locked up until she is thirty."

"We can't lock her up, Jordan, just to keep the boys away. Maybe she will get lucky and find her soulmate just like I did. I hope she will find a man who treats her and makes her feel the way you do me."
