THE VIXEN

Chapter Nineteen

The next three weeks slid by in a happy blur for Vixen. She and Daniel saw each other at least four times a week. On the days they didn't see each other, they talked at least twice via Skype. Vixen no longer thought about her weight and how she looked to Daniel. She knew she had all of Daniel's time, attention and sexual interest.

Each time he saw her, he became more and more enthralled with her. He liked everything about her. She was sweet, sexy, considerate, funny and all his. For the first time in his life, he felt completely satisfied with one woman. He never felt the urge to look at or date other women. He felt happy and content. Vixen felt that way too. Everything between them was perfect.

They were sexually compatible, enjoyed similar hobbies and when she told him about her and Jeff and that he had been her beard for the party, he knew then she was the woman for him. She said she didn't want any lies between them. Just the way she said 'us' put a big, silly grin on his face.

One night, after she fell asleep in his arms, he slipped out of her bed to do some work and realized he had missed an email from his mother inviting him to the family dinner this weekend. He had missed a lot of family dinners lately wanting to keep Vixen to himself. He picked up the phone and called his Mom to tell her he was coming and he wanted Vixen to come and to meet the entire family. To Daniel's surprise, he mother said "YES!"

"Wait. What are you talking about mom, you only met her the one time." Daniel said confused

"I'm thrilled for you, Daniel. I knew when you brought that beautiful girl here to meet you father and I that she was the woman for you. You couldn't take your eyes off her. I was so worried you were going to spend the rest of your life looking for the perfect size two instead of Miss Perfect for you."

Daniel laughed out loud "I should have known you would already know the woman I needed to be my wife. You have always known what we needed. Daniel said "It's been four weeks, Mom and I know Vixen is it, she is my wife mom."

"Then bring you're her to the family dinner so we can all welcome her properly! I actually cannot wait to see her again. Your father has not stopped talking about that sandwich she made sense she was here I have to get her to teach me how to make it." She said jokingly.

"I love you mom!" Daniel said laughing

"I love you too son" Mrs. Mancini said hanging up.

After he hung up with his mom, he finished his work and he got back into bed with Vixen.

She murmured his name and turned into his arms. He kissed her lips, held her close and drifted to sleep.

A week later Vixen was in the bathroom in her office sick in the toilet again. This was the tenth time she had thrown up in five days. She had been so sick at the office the day before she had to cancel her afternoon and call Nya.

"Hey Lil' Bit! What's up?" Nya had answered the phone on the third ring.

"Hey, I have been throwing up for days. Is there something over the counter that I can take for this nausea? Things are just too busy at the office right now for me to be sick," Vixen had said. Only half- paying attention as she was reading a report from sales.

"Well, first of all, what other symptoms are you having?" Nya had said sounding concerned.

"None, I have just been nauseous and puking all over the place which is making me a little tired cause I have not kept anything down in days."

"So you are throwing up and tired, no running nose, sore throat no other symptoms of the flu?" Nya had said.

"No, none, just the nausea"

"Vixen! Are you listening to what you are saying to me?" she said yelling into the phone.

Vixen stopped reading the report "What? Those are my symptoms." Vixen was a little confused as to what Nya was so upset about. It was probably a stomach bug. She worried too much.

"VIXEN, YOU ARE PREGNANT!" Nya yelled into her cell phone.

"WHAT?? No, I am NOT!" she said. Nya had got her attention now. "I am not pregnant!" she paused and said into the phone "I don't think I am."

At that moment she realized, yes, she could be pregnant. She and Daniel had never used protection and they had been going at it day and night like bunnies every time there were in each other's presence.

"Oh, my God" she said "Oh, my God, Nya. I am pregnant? Really?!" Vixen was standing, sitting and standing again as she was talking into the phone.

"Calm down, Lil' Bit. That is what it sounds like to me. Have you been letting Daniel empty his inferior sperm into your goddess like body?" Nya said.

"Inferior sperm, really?" Vixen said laughing.

"The best way for you to know is to take a pregnancy test," Nya told her a pretty accurate over the counter pregnancy test to get and take.

"Do you want me to bring one over and stay until you get an answer?" Nya said.

"Don't you have back to back surgeries today?" Vixen knew she had told her yesterday that she was packed with patients this week. She was doing some pro-bono surgeries for families that could not afford operations and good medical care.

"I do but I can take some time and come and find out if a mini-you is coming. I mean you are already small. Your baby will just be a little monkey," she said jokingly.

"Very funny. No, its okay I have back to back meetings today. I will get one on my way home tonight."

Sigh "Alright call me as soon as you know," Nya said.

"Don't you think the father should be the first to know?" Vixen asked her jokingly.

"Hell NO! He has not married you yet so has not been elevated to husband status, so me first."

Vixen laughed mostly because she knew Nya was serious and who in their right mind was going to challenge Nya!?

"You will be the first to know. Go save lives. I will call you later."

"Drink some water with ginger extract, Lil' Bit and I will talk to you later. Bye."

Vixen had intended to buy the test on her way home but had been so tired she had just went straight home and fell asleep as soon as she sat down. She woke this morning and had to run to the bathroom to make it before she vomited all over her bedroom. She picked up a test on her way to the office and was now in the bathroom of her office waiting for the results, when she puked again. The timer went off on her phone as she was brushing her teeth from this last round of vomiting.

Vixen froze. She was not sure if she was ready to see the results of her test. She wondered how Daniel would feel about her being pregnant. She had told him there was a good chance she would get pregnant if they kept having unprotected sex and he had always just said that they would have a child in nine months. Vixen knew that was easy to say in theory but how would he respond if she actually was pregnant?

She leaned over and looked at the test- POSITIVE. The test was positive. She was pregnant! She was going to have a baby! She was instantly ecstatic. Vixen had always known she wanted to be a mother, but with her not having any real long term relationships and well on her way to forty and the business keeping her so busy, she had just assumed she would not be a mother. But she was, she was going to have a baby. She was going to have Daniel's baby! Oh my God! She didn't really know what to do first and then her upset stomach answered that question for her.
