-PEACH

Claire enjoyed her time in L.A, but she was even happier to be home in London with Tom. She was even more excited about her upcoming Doctor Appointment. She sat in the living room her legs curled under her as Horatio chewed on a toy.

"Love? How about Chinese for dinner?" Tom called from upstairs.

"That sounds good. Extra egg rolls please and some steamed dumplings too" Claire called back.

She heard Tom laugh and smiled. Suddenly her phone rang. She climbed from the couch and grabbed it off the counter.

"Hello?" She answered.

"Hey, how are you feeling?" Sarah asked on the other end of the line.

"Much better, the bug is gone and I am finally hungry again. How are you and Sam?" Claire asked as she made her way to the kitchen for a bottle of water.

"We are good. Listen, I know we talked about this but are you sure about your decision Claire? I mean this is a big deal."

"I'm very sure. I love the magazine but I miss writing on my own. Besides this part of the magazine will be new and a big hit. You deserve this Sarah."

"If you are sure."

"I am 100% sure Sarah. Don't be nervous. You will be a great editor."

"You have worked so hard to get to be editor Claire. I just don't want you to feel like you have to step down."

"I understand. I didn't make this decision on a whim. I really talked about it with Tom. Besides I have always wanted to write a book too and now I have something to write about."

"As long as you are sure."

"I am positive. How about we do lunch tomorrow and some shopping?" Claire offered.

"What time is your appointment?"

"It's been moved to the morning at 9 am."

"How about we all meet for lunch?"

"That sounds great. I am sure Tom and Sam will love to have some guy time."

"Great. I will see you around eleven?"

"Eleven sounds great."

"See you then" Sarah spoke and hung up.

Claire smiled and shut her phone down placing her hands on her now baby bump. A little over 16 weeks and this peanut was growing. She took herbwater and sat back down as Tom came down the stairs.

"Everything okay love?" He asked coming to sit next to me.

"Yep, just talked to Sarah. She wants us all to have lunch tomorrow around eleven. Is that alright?" Claire asked turning to Tom as he took her feet into his lap and began massaging them.

Claire groaned and settled back as she placed her hand on her baby bump.

Tom smiled and took one hand placing it on top of hers.

"How are you and our little one feeling?"

"We are great. I'm excited to see what we are having tomorrow. I don't know if I will sleep at all" Claire laughed.

"I think we can arrange something to relax you" Tom grinned wickedly at her.

"Hmm, interesting" Claire chuckled.
