The covers next to me began to move. A minute later, the movement shifts over to my side. Something lightly rubs my thigh and then moves in-between my legs. "...mmmhmm" "Dani, it's time to get up. Wake up, baby."I heard Michael say softly. He places his arm underneath me and gently lifts me up. "Michael, what are you doing? It's too early to get up." I say; yawning. "Remember we have that doctor's appointment today." He kisses my neck and earlobe. I felt something on my thigh. "Are you alright? Are you sick or something?" I ask; looking into his eyes. He bites his lip. "No, girl. I feel fine. Get up. I don't want to be late." He kisses me again before going into the bathroom. I change into some dark jeans and a white shirt. Once I was done, I went downstairs to get something to drink. I had my back turn when I felt some arms around me. "You smell good, girl." "Michael, you're very affectionate this morning. Are you sure you're alright?" "Yes, I'm fine. I just love you and I'm excited for tonight." "Wait, what's tonight? Did I forget something?!" "No. I have something planned for us, but its a surprise. Are you ready?" He takes me by the hand and leads me to the car. As we're riding; Michael's hand never left mine. I look over at him while he's looking out the window. "So Michael, this surprise you have; what kind is it?" I ask. "No, sweetheart. I'm not telling you anything. You'll have to wait and see, but you'll love it." He said. His hand left mine and began to rub my inner thigh. "Michael, please. You know how ticklish I am." "I know, girl."
Before long, we reach the doctor's office. There was a small chime above the door when we walked in. No one except for the receptionist was in there. "Take a seat, dear. I'll be right back." Michael said. He went up to the desk and began to fill out the paper work. Before long, he takes a seat next to me. "She said the doctor will see us in a minute. Are you nervous?" He asks. "No. I mean it's just a regular check-up. Are you nervous?" I answer. "A little. I want to talk to him about you having children." I didn't say anything. A minute later; a nurse with a clipboard came in and called us. We followed her to a room in the very back. "The doctor will be in a minute, Mr. and Mrs. Jackson." "Thank you." We stayed silent until the doctor came in. "I apologize. I had some unfinished paperwork to clear. How are you today?" The doctor asks. "Hanging in there and you?" I ask. "Great. Now, what can I help you with?" "My wife has been having some trouble with her skin lately. I've gotten her special soap and lotion, but it seemed to come back with vengeance." "May I take a look?" The doc asks. I look over at Michael. "Uhh...it's on the inside of her leg and she doesn't really feel comfortable showing it." Michael explains; taking my hand. "I understand, however, I can't give you a prescription if I don't know what you have." "Alright." I slowly undid my pants and lowered them just above my knees. "Ok. Let's see." He puts on a pair of gloves and lightly touches the inside of my leg. "Mmhm...has it been giving you any trouble today?" I shook my head. "I'm going to take a sample and run some tests, ok?" "Yeah, that's fine." Next, He take a cotton-swob and lightly touches the scaly sore. Next, he placed it in a plastic test tube. "Ok. I'll send this to the lab and see if we can find the cause of it. It should take a few day to get the results." The doctor said. "Thank you. Now, I have another question." Michael said. "Yes, Mr. Jackson?" "We want to start a family. Is there a certain...way to do it?" "Other than the traditional way? There's no guarantee way of getting pregnant. You can try some old wives tales." "Like?" I ask. "Uh... having the mattress facing north. Another is when the moon is full and there's one about icing your genitals, Mr. Jackson." "I see. Well, thank you very much for helping us out." "You're welcome, sir. I will call you when I get the test results back." We shook hands before Michael led me out of the office and back to the car. We didn't say anything until we got on the road. "When we get home, I want you to take a bath. Use the soap and lotion and then lie down, ok?" Michael said. "Are we not gonna talk about the tales? I mean, the full moon? Icing your balls? You aren't going to do that, are you?" "Only if it'll work, Dani." I let out a deep breath. I didn't realize how tired I was. I only remember closing my eyes for second. When I opened them back up; i was in the bed. The time was 4:57pm. I sit up; rubbing my face. The bedroom door opens. Michael greets me with a smile. "Hey, baby. How do you feel?" He asks; sitting next to me. "Better. Did you...?" He nods. "Thanks. What are you doing?" "I was actually coming to wake you up. The family called and wanted to know if you wanted to have dinner with them tonight. I told them I would ask you." "Uhh...sure. When do we leave?" "Whenever we get done getting ready." I got up to get dressed. I put on some black pants, a cream colored shirt and some boots. Michael put on black slacks and a red button up shirt. He grabbed his things and led me back to the car.
