Only Time Will Tell

Chapter 47-Henry's Personal Day(I)

_Jo's POV_
I woke up early in the morning; Henry snoozing away while resting his head on my chest. I felt my stomach squirming with butterflies, then realized that it was a baby moving around; placing a hand on my belly. I felt a kick, then shook Henry lightly; placing his hand on my tummy. "Oh. Goodness," he yawned; feeling for kicks. At around 18 weeks along, I didn't expect it just yet. "There the other goes," I smiled; patting my belly and motioning for him to feel. He placed a hand on top of mine; squeezing lightly, and his eyes lit up. "I still can't quite believe there's two of them," he chuckled. "One would have been just fine," I sighed; grinning. Henry kissed both spots he felt the babies kick in, and peered into my eyes lovingly. Once they calmed down, I grabbed him by the collar of his shirt,(we went to bed without undressing last night), and pressed my lips against his. I bit down on his bottom lip, and tugged; running a seductive hand down his chest. "What's gotten into you?" he grinned; his top lip hanging on my bottom. "Just thought maybe I'd show you how much I appreciate you before we go off to work," I smirked. "Oh, really?" he replied. "Mhm," I smiled; starting to unbutton his shirt. He licked his lips and peered down at my hands as I worked slowly. "This may sound a tad.. Dumb..But I was thinking today you and I could take a personal day.." he suggested hopefully. "What? Why?" I asked. "Yesterday was a tad..traumatic, and to be completely honest, I don't want to go into work," he mumbled; looking ashamed. "Hey. It's okay," I assured him; lifting his chin, and forcing him to meet my gaze. "Thank you," he responded.

I took off the wrinkled blouse and pants I'd rolled around in bed in, and slipped on the new red, silky, skin-tight nightgown Henry likes on me. I won't be able to wear it much longer with my belly constantly growing. He pulled his shirt and slacks off, and we walked out into the kitchen. "You know he actually used to walk around in clothes.. Before you," Abe joked. He cracked a grin, and walked by Att; kissing his head, then by Brayleigh, and took a seat. When I turned around, after fetching Att a bowel of Cheerios, Henry had already hidden my chair. I grinned, and handed the kids their food; taking a seat in his lap.

_Henry's POV_
Jo wasted no time today. She kissed my neck and jaw hungrily, whilst running her hands through my curls. My mouth gaped open. I dropped my fork, and she smiled; picking it up. "Thanks Honey," she teased; stabbing at a piece of food and raising it to her mouth. Abraham chuckled at the look of satisfaction on her face, and I rolled my eyes. "May I have my fork back?" I asked. "You want me to use my hands?" she questioned. "Yes.. Or your mouth would be kindly appreciated," I smirked. "I wasn't talking about that, you perv," she laughed. "Oh, I'm well aware. I'm just taking whatever changes I can get," I replied; running a sensual hand along her inner thigh. She peered down at her perfect legs; off to my one side, and crossed one over the other. Without asking, I started kissing her neck passionately; brushing her beautiful brown locks aside. I heard her tell me to stop, and felt her struggle, but continued on. I started to suck; leaving bright red marks behind, and Abraham corralled the children into the living room. I felt Jo gradually loosen up, then she finally pressed her lips against mine. I could hear our lips smack and slurp as we swapped saliva, during a steamy, open-mouthed kiss, and out of the corner of me eye, I saw Abraham quickly grab a piece of toast; running back into the living room. "Take me," she mumbled lustily; placing one of my hands on her breasts, which spill out of her nightgown ever so slightly. "Right here?" I asked. "Mhm," she grinned devilishly; tackling me onto the floor.

We had sloppy, lustful sex on the floor, and got dressed; getting out of the kitchen quickly. Abe and the kids were probably starving. "My apologies..I didn't expect that'd end so splendidly," Henry spoke; taking a seat on the couch. I took a seat next to him, and he laid his head on my belly; smiling up at me dreamily. Abe gagged, and led the kids into the kitchen to finish breakfast. I felt a few kicks, and Henry jerked his head up; a bit startled. I laughed at him, and he placed both of his hands on my tummy; feeling for the movements. Each time he felt a kick, he'd plant a kiss in the same spot; an adorable smile on his face. "Hello there," he began; speaking to my belly. "It's Daddy. Don't worry. You'll be out soon. I'm sure both you and your mother are growing more and more fed up with this.. Debacle," he babbled on. "Back isn't killing me yet. Knock on wood," I chuckled; tapping the coffee table. He cooed, and spoke affectionately; patting my belly. He spoke to them as if they were already outside, and it was sickeningly sweet. I took my phone out of my bra, and started to film. "Do you have anything to say to your future kids?" I asked; as if I was interviewing him. "I hope you are the last," he grinned. We both laughed. "..and Daddy loves you.. I don't care what gender you are, or how much you'll cry during our first few months together.. Daddy loves you very much," he smiled. I stopped recording, and played it back over; smiling wildly. "You're pretty good at cutting dead people open and doing my job for me, but you're even better at being a Dad," I stated. "You are a lovely mother," he responded. "Thank you for carrying my children. I know it's not the most... Endearing task," he said. "Maybe not. But I wouldn't rather be carrying anyone else's," I replied; planting a kiss on top of his head. We sat in silence, just enjoying each other's company for a few minutes, then I broke the silence. "Henry.. I don't know if I want to get my tubes tied.." I admitted. "Why n..?" he began. "Because we're immortal.. What if our kids aren't? Wouldn't you want to try again?" I questioned; placing a hand on my belly. I could see the sadness in his eyes. "If I get my tubes tied, that means I can't have any more kids.. For an eternity," I added. "Alright. You don't have to.. But for the time being, why don't we speak with your doctor about a form of birth control more reliable than the one you were previously taking," he answered. "Because for the time being, four is enough children.. For me that is," he smiled. "Oh, for me too, Honey," I chuckled. "Since we're home today, do you think you might be able to help me dye some of my hair gray? just small sections of it?" he questioned. "Sure," I replied. "Want to go do it now? Get it over with?" I muttered. "Certainly," he spoke; getting to his feet.
