Strawberry Wine

Epilogue : Amen

Jeffrey woke in the middle of the night to find June's side of the bed empty. He quietly walked down the hall to find six year old Paul's bedroom door open. He peeked his head to find June sitting at the edge of his bed quietly talking. Jeffrey watched as June said," Well sweet dreams, sweetheart. Time to get some sleep." Paul just quickly nodded his head as she kissed his cheek before standing up. Jeffrey moved from the door and watched as June quietly stepped out and shut the door. She turned and jumped seeing Jeffrey. She couldn't help slap his shoulder, making him quietly chuckle. Jeffrey wrapped his arms around her and said," Paul okay?" June just nodded as she smiled and wrapped her arms around his neck. She shrugged and said," He had fight with Gus yesterday and he was all worried about it. Poor thing had a stomach ache." Jeffrey nodded as he brought her in for quick kiss. June smirked, he knew that smirk. She was hiding something. June looked up into his brown eyes and said," I've got something to tell you and I don't how you'll react." Jeffrey just nodded wanting her to continue. She sighed and looked behind him, trying to find a way to tell him. She smiled wider and said," Well you know how I have been super sick lately.  The fevers and stomach issues." Jeffrey nodded again as he searched her eyes hoping his June wasn't sick. He held his breath as she said," My doctor told me I'm eight weeks pregnant." Jeffrey's eyes grew and before he gave a big smile. He pulled her in for another kiss as he said," Eight weeks that's like almost two months. How did we not know?" June just quietly laughed as she shook her head. She let her finger tips travel to his chest, lightly combing through the his thin chest hair as she said," Well I took pregnancy tests but they always came out negative. She said that it was normal." Jeffrey smiled before leading her down the hall and into their bedroom. He shut the door and said," I love you, June, forever and ever." June smiled as he quoted her favorite song. She kissed his lip and barely pulled away, teasing him almost. She lightly cupped his cheeks and said," Forever and ever. Amen."
