A New Life (#wattys2019)

Family Matters

A few weeks passes, Halloween was special. TJ and you got costumes. The kids enjoyed them. After Halloween, TJ and you went to the baby appointment. You got to hear your baby's strong heartbeat. TJ couldn't believe the baby was a little dot on the ultrasound screen. It was TJ and your child. At lunch, Bethany made an organic salad for you. She was pregnant twice already. When she was eighteen and when she was twenty three. Thanksgiving will be coming in a week. The house will be full with friends and family.

On the morning of Thanksgiving, Elaine was smashing potatoes. Ann and Margaret were snapping beans for the casserole. You were nearing the end of the first trimester with baby Hammond. Doug had been playing with Gemma on the floor. Your mother brought the turkey half baked and put it in your oven to finish. TJ and your father were talking. Bud was Bud. He was watching CNN.

"Bullshit politics again." Bud said sipping on his beer.

"Been a lot shit going on both sides, Bud." Your father told him.

"Mom and I did say Washington needs an upgrade fast." Doug told both men.

Ann came out with the plates. She began to set up the table for dinner. "Let's not talk about Washington politics on Thanksgiving." Ann warned the men in the room.

TJ came out with the wine glasses. He yawned, "Anyone for Black Friday shopping tomorrow." He announced.

Everyone in the room raised their hands. TJ smiled as Ben came out with silverware. "I am getting you something special." Ben smiles.

You came out of the kitchen and sat down on the couch. Rubbing your stomach, you knew the baby was being a little butterfly in your womb. Ben looks over at you on the couch. He didn't say anything to you. After dinner, TJ played on the piano with Ben sitting on the bench. Your parents excepted your pregnancy as well. Ben got pissy at them along with TJ.  You went upstairs and fell asleep.

In the middle of the night, you heard Ben and TJ in TJ's room. You decide to leave the house. Driving to Quinn's apartment, you got sick and had to throw up. For the week, you stayed there. Ben and TJ had the house to themselves. Quinn got some food for you to eat during your pregnancy. She was grateful for the baby. In the middle of the week, TJ came over to visit after he took Ben to the airport. Quinn had her fingers in her sweet dough.

"I'm sorry for Ben's behavior over Thanksgiving." TJ apologized to you.

"Mom and Dad didn't say anything about his behavior. They think he's your friend from work. Although daddy thought he was a capitalist asshole, he needs tone down his attitude towards the pregnancy." You told TJ.

Quinn looks over at TJ and you, "Ben needs to realize that the baby is for everyone. Its just not TJ and his baby. It's also your baby as well." She replied.

You nod, "Sharing is caring. I think he's mad about TJ and I fucking each other just to get pregnant." You said.

TJ laughs, "He knows I sleep with women to check on my gay card." He told Quinn and you.

At home, TJ made dinner. It was comfort food night. Macaroni and cheese and fried chicken with sweet corn. It made think of home in Georgia. He made it right. You were his sweet southern girl. After dinner, TJ made a warm bubble bath for the both of you. You sat in the tub cuddled on his side. The warmth of TJ's skin made you glow. TJ wraps his arms around you and your little bump. You were only three months pregnant with Baby Hammond. Your pregnancy body is growing on you. TJ kisses your lips softly.

"How about we move to the bed and NETFLIX?" TJ asked you.

"Alright." You answered.

During the night, you fell asleep next to TJ. He kept you warm. TJ began to moan in his sleep. You went down under the blankets. Pulling his manhood out of his pants, you put mouth on him. Your head dips up and down. TJ wakes up and looks down under the blanket. He smirks. You gave him pleasure with your mouth and your hand.
