Get It Straight, Or Say Good Night

Hush Hush

"I'm off" She was tarted up in the caramel bandage looking dress. If she was trying to get a rise out of him she was succeeding. His pants tightened as she moved 'round the room gathering her stuff, leaning down to collect her shoes, twice, she dropped one.

John wondered why she set him off thinking lurid thoughts she was as big as a house and slow as an elephant too, her backside was now lush and her boobs strained. Oh, that's why, his mind finally catching up to his cock.

He sat quietly watching her move with all the fluidity she could muster then woke from her, the caramel dream, shuffling slowly around him. "Where?"

"Nate"

One word and he was up. "I'll drive" ready to be her 'companion'.

"I've ordered a taxi"

"I'll take you" John insisted, he would accompany her and succeeded in getting her in the car. They drove off as the taxi pulled up.

Nate went through the chart, counting off the days, weeks, months... checking her belly "Bubs still breach but should squirm around in time, try laying on your right side for a few nights Louise"

"What's breach" John puzzled from the corner, playing with his hat and beard disguise.

Nate showed him the cut out of a pregnant woman "This is normal -baby's head down, shoulders, born. Louise here at the moment, bub's head is here, feel that" Nate positioned Johns hand over the hard lump of the baby's head.

"Bubs head" John felt the firm mound through the skin.

"Yes, so you will be feeling the baby kick around the bottom of the belly here, and this area, here" Nate pointed out the general area baby would kick and got out his stethoscope and listened, then handed the ear piece to John.

John heard the heartbeat.

"Wow" John smiled at the sound and watched Louise turn her head toward the wall, he was up shit creek still. Nate watched them interact and took John outside the examination room.

He stood in the hall for a minute, maybe two, quietly contemplating as John walked, pacing up and down, then Nate spoke "So you're her....."

"Husband" John frowned a little. "The baby's father"

"Well we both know that isn't exactly true now don't we" Nate wasn't much older but his position gave him an authoritative persona, he smiled meaningfully at John "Its admirable what you're doing but take care not to break her. She may seem to have everything in order but she is holding it all together for that little person in there. She's still very much in a fragile stage, even with whatever her mouth or mood says"

Nate turned to go back in the room.

"Doc no ones to know 'bout me. It's hush hush" John smiled guiltily.

"A baby and woman are never hush hush but I understand your predicament, Mister Lennon. Your last name is not recorded in the chart nor will I say anything"

John was both, in equal measure, delighted and disturbed at that particular pronouncement.
