I was walking along a beach. A beautiful California beach. The day was bright, and the sun was out. It was a perfect day to be here. It was warm. The sand was not to hot on my toes. Near the distance I hear a child laughing. And Michael. He was laughing to. I was now curious to see what he was up to. I follow the set of footprints that lead where the two were located at.
Right away I spot them. Michael had a little girl in his arms. She had to be about three or four. She was simply adorable! She had curly long brown hair. The same color as Michael's.
He twirls her around in his arms. He lifts her high then catches her. I laugh at that. He had a happy twinkle in his eyes. He smiles at me. I was nearly caught up to them. Then then begin to run away from me!
"Michael! Wait! Wait for me!" I call out breathlessly.
I begin to run to them. But no matter how far or how fast I was running I could not catch up to them!
"Michael! Michael wait!" I beg them.
I hear the distant laughing. They were having so much fun to! I wanted to join them! I wanted to know who that adorable little girl belonged to! Maybe one day I would have a little girl with him. Or a boy! My hand flies to my tummy. The baby! I no longer felt the baby bump. I gasp. What happened? Where was my baby? Panic settles in me.
I hear laughing.
"Mommy come on!" I hear her call to me. They were up on the hill there. And the little girl beckons for me to join her and Michael.
"Mommy is coming dear!" I promise her.
I go to run to join them. But they get further and further apart from me. Now I could hear them, but they were so far away. It seemed like I was never going to catch up to my family! No matter how hard I tried! I pant breathlessly as I catch my breath a moment. I go to run again.
"MICHAEL!" I call out to my husband. "Michael please wait!" I bet for him to come to me. "Please Michael!"

"Baby what is wrong?" Michael asks me as we now sit in the dark there in our bedroom.
I sigh. It had been a dream. I had been having so many weird dreams about the baby all this month. I laugh then lay back in bed on my pillow. I grown then cover my face with my hands. In all the dreams every time I saw our baby, she was a she. Maybe our little one was trying to tell me she was a girl? I could not really read into things, right?
"Babe you were crying out for me in your sleep again. What is wrong Nika?" Michael fusses over me.
He has me sit up in bed. He scoops me in his embrace.
"I dreamt about the baby again" I giggle.
"What happened this time?" he asks me. "Did you have one where you were going to change the diaper and then you wake?" he teases.
"No" I sigh.
"What happened?" he demands to know.
I could see his handsome face there by the reflection of the moonlight. "Well, I was on a beach. I hear a child laughing. I see you with her. You two are playing. Then chasing each other. I am running after you both. But no matter how hard I try I cannot keep up with you. And It scared me" I admit.
"Aw baby try not to read into it. It was only a dream" he reminds me as he rubs my back lovingly.
"I know it was. But in all the dreams I have the baby is always a girl. Michael do you think she is trying to tell us that we are having a girl?" I wonder softly. My hands are on my tummy.
"Maybe. My mom dreamt I was a boy. And I was. It happens sometimes to mothers" he says to me.
"I would not care what this little one is. As long as the baby is healthy and happy" I remind him.
"Me to sweetie" he says as he yawns.
"I am going to get a glass of water. I am feeling restless after that dream" I admit to him.
"Let me get it for you sweetie" he offers. He goes to get up.
"Michael you have been so good to me. But I can get myself a glass of water myself" I giggle. "I will be fine. Besides you are the one who has to be at work the next morning" I remind him. I brush his bangs out of his face with my hand. Then kiss him on the lips.
"Alright. If you insist. Remember I offered" he yawns then lays back down on his pillow to go back to bed.

I smile then I yank the covers off me. I scramble to go to our bathroom there in our room. I had a glass in there. I get a glass of tap water. I slug it down. Then lean on the counter for a moment.
Collecting my thoughts. I could not wait until this little one got here. I was dying to know if the baby was a boy or a girl. Maybe deep down I was hoping for a girl. Maybe that was why I kept dreaming about girls. Maybe the dream was just a dream. Maybe it was nothing at all really.
Or maybe I should start thinking of girl names? I leave Michael sleeping there in bed. I find myself wandering downstairs to the living room. I get the big book of baby names out. I begin to pour over the lists of girl names. I had to use names from this time of course for our baby. Could we be having a girl? I always wanted a girl. I would love to have a boy though to.
As long as they had Michael's handsome smile. And those kind eyes of his.

"Baby what on earth are you doing down here? It is nearly three am" Michael says as he comes after me.
"Why are you up?" I ask him.
"I can't sleep without you beside me. Ever since I nearly lost you it was so hard to sleep without your warm body next to mine. And I feel like again I might have lost you. I can't sleep without you Nika" he admits.
I smile over at him. He made me melt for him. "Mike" I say softly. I get up. I lay the book back down. I go and take him in my arms. "I will never leave your side" I remind him. "I am sorry for making you feel that way"
"I know you did not mean to. But I feel that way" he admits softly.
He holds me close. He looks in my eyes.
"I love you Fox" I say softly.
I kiss him.
"I love you to babe" he vows. He kisses me back. "Ready to go back to bed now?"
I nod. "Come on" I say.
I take him by the hand then lead him back to bed. He needed me. I needed him. I crawl back in bed with him. I pull him in my embrace. I hold him close to me. He rests his head on my shoulder. I had my arms around him. I could not help but smile. I loved moments like this with him.
"Love you baby. Sweet dreams" I say softly to him.
"Love you. Sweet dreams" he echoes back.
We fall asleep there in each other's arms. Basking in one another's love for the rest of the night.
