"Thank you so much Sarah."

"No problem. Take it easy and I can't wait to see what news you gather."

"I'll send you the work via email so you can start putting it together."

"No problem. This will definitely put us on the map with the magazine."

"I think so too."

"How have the cravings been so far with the baby?"

"Nothing too crazy. Although Tom has been sweet with everything that I have wanted" Claire laughed.

"He is really a sweet gent."

"Yeah he is" Claire smiled to herself.

"Well, have fun and catch a tan for me will you."

"Will do. Thanks again. Talk to you soon" Claire spoke and hung up.

"Darling?" Tom called from the closet.

"Yes" Claire answered moving to the closet.

"Did you pack my tie?"

"Yes, the blue, black, and red one."

"Oh good. I had thought I lost my mind for a moment."

"Maybe you have" Claire smiled as she stood in the doorway.

"Perhaps I have" he laughed and moved to scoop Claire off her feet.

"I spoke to the doctor" Claire grinned.

"And?"

"No sex for a week" Claire said serious.

"What!" Tom asked confused.

"Yep, but I am safe to fly" she smiled.

"Please tell me you are joking? I couldn't handle not touching you" he pleaded.

Claire laughed as Tom sat her down.

"Of course I'm kidding" she grinned.

"That wasn't very wifey like" he teased.

"And what is a wifey suppose to act like?"

"Oh you know" he grinned his accent changing to a southern twang.

"Cooking, cleaning, barefoot and pregnant serving her husband in every way possible darlin" he chuckled.

"Well Darlin, you will be sadly disappointed " she laughed.

Tom grinned and pulled her into his arms.

"Yes mam" he grinned and claimed her lips.

Claire melted into his touch as she always did. After a moment she pulled away.

"We better finish up. The driver will be here in an hour."

"I think we are ready, now where was I" Tom smirked and carried Claire to the bed taking full advantage of the hour.

"I'm proud of you love, you are handling the flying quiet well."

"Thanks I think" she laughed at him.

"I'm excited to spend this time with you. L.A has some pretty amazing things to see and do. You are going to love the house" Tom spoke like a child excited for Christmas morning.
