Scarlett Johansson - pregnancy series (gxg)

cravings

Kissing Scarlett's cheek softly, you quietly and carefully got out of bed without waking her from her peaceful slumber.

You could feel the cravings getting stronger as you made your way downstairs and over to the fridge where the new jar of pickles that Scarlett picked up for you was.

Getting the jar out of the fridge, you put it on the counter and turned the lid before you heard the familiar pop come from it.

Taking the lid off, you grabbed one of the pickles as your mouth watered and then sat down as you started to eat it.

A happy hum left your lips as you felt your intense cravings finally become satisfied.

It's after three am and you had been sound asleep for the last few hours before you woke up and knew you just had to get out of bed to get some pickles.

Your pregnancy cravings have been pretty rough.

You can't count the number of pickles you've eaten since they first started a few days ago but you don't care at all.

When the baby wants pickles, you don't hesitate to get them.

Reaching into the jar, you grabbed another pickle and began to eat it.

And then you ate another and another until half the jar was gone and a new craving suddenly hit.

Getting up from the table, you went over to the freezer and pulled out the container of chocolate ice cream that you and Scarlett picked up at the store the other day, just because.

Grabbing a spoon, you scooped some out of the container and put it in a bowl before putting the container back in the freezer.

Going to the table, you began to eat the delicious ice cream before your cravings for pickles returned.

Looking at the pickle in your hand and the bowl of ice cream on the table in front of you, an idea came to your mind.

The baby was craving both so you decided to combine the two and dipped the pickle into your ice cream before putting it in your mouth.

You'd probably find the combination gross if you weren't pregnant.

But since you are, you had to admit it was the most delicious thing you'd ever eaten.

As you were eating, Scarlett came downstairs and pulled the chair beside yours closer to you before looking at you with a tired smile.

"What are you eating, baby? More pickles?"

"Yes!" You grinned. "They're so good. Have you ever had them with ice cream?"

"No, I haven't."

"Try it!"

You didn't give her much of a choice as you put the ice cream-covered pickle in front of her and although she was unsure of how she felt about trying it, she couldn't say no to you.

She took a bite and let the flavor dance on her tongue for a few seconds before she shook her head.

"I'm glad you and the baby love it, darling. But I'm not very crazy about it."

You laughed before continuing to eat it.

"You don't have to stay here with me. You're exhausted." You said.

"Yeah, but I want to stay here with my babies. I don't care how long I'm down here for, I just want to be with you both." She smiled as she rubbed your stomach.

There wasn't much of a bump yet but she knew there would be very soon and her heart swells with excitement each time she thinks about it.

"I love you both so much."

"We love you too," You replied as you continued to eat and Scarlett just watched you in adoration as she cherished these precious and happy moments.
