Sing For Me

Something Pink

We Head back home from the hospital when I get this urge to go shopping "Sweetie could we nip into town" I ask Ben 

"If you like darling, why is there something you need?" he asks I smile at him 

"I'd like to buy something.................something pink" I tell him, he laughs 

"Do you now sweetheart, I wondered how long that would take you" he knows me inside out this husband of mine. Ben takes me into London to go and have a look around the shops. We pass loads of shops, baby stores, but he just walks past them all until we are standing outside a very expensive looking shop designer everything they've got, way out of my league. "Ready" he says I pull him back 

"Ben we cant afford their prices its silly" he pulls me along 

"We can have a look" he says being insistent as always. We head up to the baby department I walk in feeling like I don't really belong

"Ben I don't like it here sweetie" he turns to me 

"Why darling" he asks 

"I just don't feel good enough to be here" he glares at me 

"Humour me Lissy, just go and have a look" he says coaxing me I reluctantly agree heading over to the Moses baskets there are some beautiful ones And the clothes for mums to be are gorgeous. A shop assistant come up to us 

"Hi Can I help you at all" he asks us 

"Yes we are looking for something pink, getting ready for this little one you see" Ben tells her as he strokes my tummy showing her. 

"Aww congratulations, shall I show you in the direction of the newborn section" he says.

He shows us the clothes and they are adorable Id buy them all if I could. Ben looks through the clothes and pulls a little top off the rack "Oh darling look" he's picked a pink one with a little cupcake on with Mummy's little sweetie written on it. "come on you can't tell me that's not cute" and no I can't I just smile at him as he waves it at me with that pleading little boy face of his.

 "Would you like a basket sir" the assistant asks 

"Yes please we've seen a few things that are just perfect" he says 

"Ben can we really afford them" I say doing my usual fretting over money 

"Sweetheart we wouldn't be here if we couldn't I'm not that reckless" he says 

"I know but......" he stops me 

"Lis I just want to spoil you both that's all is that so bad" once again I can't argue with him as I head to the rack he's been looking through and spot a little pink sweatshirt with my Heart belongs to Daddy on it 

"Well then we'd better have one of these then" I tell him and he smiles at it popping it in the basket 

"That's it darling now you're getting it" he says 

"OK but just promise me you won't go mad" I say and he takes my hand 

"Lis look the work on the house has cost less than we thought so we've got money over, I just want you to have some nice things OK" he says oh could this man be any sweeter. I nod and agree 

"Is there anything else you are looking for sir" Ben is asked

"Yes I'd like some clothes for my wife, do you have anything as beautiful as she is" he says oh very Richard Gere if he says he's going to spend obscene amounts of money I'll go mad. 

"That'll be difficult, as your wife is indeed very beautiful" he says oh please "but we can certainly try" Ben smiles "would you like to come and try some things on Madame" he asks
