Ghost of You

Twelve

Lindsey woke up early, showering and dressing before Stevie even got up. He started cooking breakfast and the scent wafted upstairs as she sat up in bed. Lindsey wasn't beside her. She ran a brush through her hair and went downstairs to see what he was cooking.

"Hey, Linds!"

"You're up early!"

"I smelled food." she said and he laughed.

"So you're hungry?" she nodded. "Good, I made you a plate. Want more eggs this morning?"

"Yes please!" Her eyes widened happily.

He happily made her some more food and placed it in front of her, leaning over her from behind

"I want you two to come into work with me this morning" he said rubbing the very small bump that was protecting their child

"Why?"

"I don't want you alone here, I think you'd like to see where I work anyway, the view is fantastic!"

"Alright! I'd like that!" She'd do anything to get out of the house, finishing her breakfast she got dressed, heading to Lindsey's car and driving to the office.

"I promise I won't get in your way" she said, walking inside hand in hand with her husband.

"You couldn't. We can't do anything fun here, you will just have to sit on the couch in my office but I can introduce you to some of my coworkers if you'd like."

"Do you think they'll like me?"

"They'll love you, just like I do" He kissed her knuckles, greeting some of his colleagues with a cheerful hello or joke among his guy friends.

"This is my wife Stephanie."

"Woah! You certainly know how to pick the gorgeous ones Lindsey!" His friend said to him, causing stevie to blush

"I'm nothing special..."

"Hey, don't put yourself down! Linds, this ones definitely a keeper!"

"Well I've been married to her for years so I would bloody hope so!" Everyone involved was laughing

"I hope you don't think me rude but are you expecting?" He asked stevie

"I am...just over nine weeks!" She beamed

"Congratulations! I asked because you're glowing like a star!" Stevie knew this guy was good with the ladies.

"Well, thank you very much."

"I gotta bounce but lovely to meet you, Stephanie." he shoot her hand and carefully brought it to his lips. Stevie lowered her lashes and Lindsey tightened his grip on her.

"You know how to pick the gorgeous ones" Lindsey mocked, walking back to his office.

"I thought it was sweet"

"He wants to sleep with you."

"Well, at least someone does" she said under her breath.

"What was that?" He asked, guiding her through the door marked with his name on a gold plaque.

"Nothing, my love." she said, pressing her body into his seductively, trying to distract his questioning.
