Tiana stretch out on Nate's chest her palm clutch his and her lips press on his lips, he was able to breathe her feel her every inch of her body and soul as she press on him and him buried deep inside of her, their love was intense and he felt his body reacts in ways he didn't know she ease up to look at him, kiss his nose and fore head before sliding away, he couldn't believe she was done already, "fuck!" He curse in his mind gritting his teeth, "come back here,  damn it!" He said he turn and she lay next to him just staring at him, he wipe the sweat from his face before going to the bath room he shower and came back lay in the same position he was before she became all over him, he felt her hand in his  hair her nails on his skin as she massage into his hair rubbing his ears and neck she stop moving when he turn she was a sleep he lay watching her until he fell a sleep himself,  her hand was on his face when he woke in the morning, her eyes open and they look at each other, he got up to go to the bathroom as he was too numb to even try tracking this morning, Tiana knew he was probably going to shower follow him to the bathroom getting in with him, there was enough space to hold them but she needed fiscal contact make every effort to create it, she leave him in the bathroom got dress and went to the children's rooms to wake them up she help Maria with breakfast, sat at the table but apart from making out and the phone call nothing else was on her mind, Nathaniel came in and she look up at him sat with her hand under her cheek looking him down, Nathaniel cellphone rang while at the table he took it from his pocket look at it, he excuse from the table, "I'll be by the car" he said pointing from one kid to the next, before he walk out Tiana  heard him saying hello and a laughter comes after,
"Is everything ok with you and mom?" Rihanna ask once Niccane ran off leaving them alone,
"Nothing" Nathaniel said
"I'm not dumb to notice that you don't talk now"
"It's now trust me we are good other wise"
"Are you sure?" Rihanna ask
"Sure very sure" he hug her and kiss her goodbye, "so I'll see you later?"
"Yes same place same time"
Nathaniel laugh, "you're a good kid Rih"
Rihanna gave him a thumbs up then ran off.
Tiana was on the sofa in the living room when Nathaniel came in she turn when he did but instead of coming in he went into the next room he didn't stay long he then came in the living room with a glass of liquor he remains standing for ten minutes, then he started moving back and forth his mind didn't ease by doing that he sat on the sofa with Tiana away from her playing with the TV remote Tiana look at him and he at her, she noticed him but her attention was more on the phone waiting for the doctor to call just to say it's not pregnancy put her mind at ease, but for the next half hour the phone didn't ring she got up going in to the kitchen to ask Maria if a call came for Tiana stone if she can please let her know, she went up stairs use the bathroom then lay down, it was all she felt to do now lay down that too with Nate on top of her, she had him last night only he didn't respond, she wondered if he had a climax he didn't even move a muscle to love her back,
Nathaniel switch off the TV setting the remote on one of the center pieces, he look towards the stairs he got up went to the bar, have one shot of tequila left the glass next to the bottle on the bar counter, he took the stairs slowly moving up he push the bedroom door, because Tiana knew he was the only one who was home to come in their bedroom she didn't turn, he went to the bathroom in which she was able to tell he didn't do anything to the time he walk in and to the time he walk out, he drop himself on the bed, his body weight cause the bed to bounce, apart from the jerk she didn't move he lay there his face turn from her, he lift it look at her then lay back down, Tiana lay watching him, he got up took his shirt off drop on the be again, he lay with his face to her, Tiana never took her eyes from him she held his gaze he lift his head off the pillow to stare at her, emotions running wild inside of him, he fights the needs for a while but it bother him haunts him his needs push at him, Tiana didn't move off the pillow she could see in his eyes that he wanted it but wasn't going to open up and say turn
"here come get it" last night he didn't even bother to touch her maybe sex would be more fun if he had, Nathaniel lift the pillow put it closer to Tiana's face where he lay back down, yet still Tiana ignore him, he lift his head off the pillow drawing closer, much closer, making his lips touch her cheek, he kiss to her lips parting her lips with his tongue sucking her in his mouth he ran his tongue over her teeth causing them to glitch a bit, she pull back a little hoping it won't affect the way he loves her, he got his  tongue back in her mouth rubbing it over inside of it, Tiana move her tongue around his only to hear him moan, moaning deeply, her palm
cold as ice on his skin felt it would freeze up under her touch, she gave him good love and he dive Right in giving like he never before, taking all he could and deserve,
At ten to three Tiana wrapped her legs around Nathaniel, pushing him deeper inside of her her ams on his upper body rubbing touching creating heat on top of heat, making him want her more he knew the children were to be picked up from school but he couldn't leave now, to keep himself from loosing the feeling he reach for the phone on the bedside table call Richard "pick up my kids will you?" He ask
"Sure man right away" he said
Nathaniel hang up pushing the phone away joining lips body and soul with Tiana,
They were finishing up another round when the car came in the driveway, they heard the children and by he got up and pull on his sweat pants over his nakedness the children came bursting into the room, Tiana sat up the sheets up to her shoulder but rihanna was old enough to tell,
"Sorry, I'll just go change, we'll go change, come on Niccane" she said backing out the room holding on to her brother's arm closing the door behind them,
Tiana look up at Nathaniel who widen his eyes,
"Is mom sick?" Niccane ask
"Why did you ask that?" Rihanna asked him,
"what was mom doing in bed now? " He ask
Rihanna shrugged
"probably they were doing adult stuff" Niccane whispered
They both giggle,
"Hey you kids, finish up the homework as yet?" Nathaniel ask as he come and sit next to them in the Living room,
"It's not as yet, I hope it's not a problem we are in the living room and not in the study"Rihanna said
"It's your house too please feel free to sit where you want to besides no one else is using the living room right now" he rub her cheek and got up "I need a drink" Nathaniel said
"Lemonade?" Niccane ask
"No Silly it's tequila" rihanna said
"Should I get you some?" Nathaniel ask,
They giggle,
"ok I'll get you lemonade" he said going to the kitchen,
Tiana came down to them leaning towards them for a kiss, "How was school?"
"Ok , holiday is coming up" Niccane said
"We know" rihanna said
"So Niccane what's your plans for the holidays? "
"Do they give children my age summer jobs? "
Nathaniel laugh, he gave them lemonade then left for his tequila,
"Should i get another glass of lemonade?" He ask Tiana saw him looking at her,
"No lemonade here" she said
Nathaniel wonder if after all that love they made she really not thirsty or May be she's more for him soaking between her sweet thighs, he was use to it being fluffy and sweet, but something added more flesh and little more sweetness, damn he shouldn't get out yet, he sure it wouldn't hurt closing the door for some time and spend time inside his woman pumping her lines,
The phone from next to the children rang Rihanna who was close picked it up and hand it to him, they were calling him from the inn about the work they were doing on the antique store
"You call up at home what about my cell? You know I don't take business call on home phone" He  said,
Tiana look up,
"Oh probably left it somewhere, I'll check it out in the morning I'll swing by, you know it's too late to talk business now I don't have any business head these hours of the day" he said
The person speak to him and he laugh then hang up, he climb the stairs after hucking up the phone, he came back with his cellphone took a pencil from the children's collection and went in to the den he was talking for some time didn't sound like business to Tiana she got up going into the kitchen he came from the den he didn't saw her with the believe she was back in bed he could go back and steel a quicky he rest the pencil back took the stairs climbing it fast disappointed she wasn't there,
"Where did your mom went?" He ask the children when he came back down, they look up and he turn to find Tiana behind him he said nothing turn to look back at the children with a smile before turning to go to the bar and Tiana went back to the kitchen,
Dinner was serve they have it quietly then clean up together,
They watch family time and he talk with the children for half hour more, being the one to send them off to bed, did the reading and tuck them in, "you're pretty you know" he said to Rihanna, she smile he kiss her forehead "good night remember what I said about the monsters"
"yeah right" rihanna said
"the lights are out now, whoo! He said making scary sounds as he walk out behind Tiana rihanna giggle and so did he,
Tiana believe the children must really appreciate him being so nice to them they weren't use to this from there father he barely even talk to them much more tucked them in and kiss them goodnight,
They got to the room and Tiana went to the bathroom she drop her clothes step in the shower
Nathaniel join her there, Tiana back into his chest on feeling his palms on her hips, rubbing her down kissing her shoulders Tiana shift her hair for him to kiss her neck shifting from side to side, she turn to face him he came close to kiss her, Tiana arms wrapped around his neck as they share intimate romance,
Nathaniel lift her to him as he step out the shower both wet and dripping Tiana giggle when her wet body was laid up on the bed he lift her legs to enter her slowly moving his hips her hands circle his butt cheeks as they move up and down and in circles their lips barely part from each other as they make love,
Tiana had how idea what she did to create this love beast it's obvious she pickle him he had her up all night her muscles aches in the morning after getting little sleep, she ease up to get out of bed but he didn't let her it was a good hour before the children would get ready for school so she let him love him to his desire, they share the shower and walk down together, up and this hour they haven't exchange a word but Tiana could live with that for now, she went on to think about the doctor who was to call and haven't, she worried something  was wrong with the test she was sure she put down the right number, the children have breakfast and get ready for school, they were in the living room when the phone ring the children look to Nathaniel to answer it for he was next to it he ignores it so did they, Tiana was expecting the doctor to call and didn't want to miss the call, she wasn't sure if Nate would have a problem but answer anyway,
"Hello, good morning"
"Morning miss stone" the doctor said
She turned and Nate was still standing there,
"Yes"
Tiana was glad it wasn't a conversation she had to have over the phone the doctor asked that she comes down, she hang up expecting him to ask who but he didn't he left with the children and Tiana told Maria she would go out she left the house when she believes  Nathaniel was far, she drove slowly picking up on the road she took to the doctors office she finally got there and was sending after a woman came out,
"Miss stone" he said smiling up at her, "please sit"
"Thank you" Tiana said sitting, she wait for him to go over her file then smile over at him,
"Miss stone your blood test is very good I don't think I can find a fault in your examination"
"What about the teeth and the muscles that aches"
"it's normal, they are both normal in young pregnancy in time they'll go a way"
"so I'm really pregnant?"
"yes miss stone and you're healthy and fit you keep this up and you'll bring a healthy child"
"How long"
"It's after your last menstrual, that was almost four weeks you're three weeks pregnant miss stone"
Tiana bite her lip, looking over on the doctor she wasn't sure what to say much as they had told her it was a sign she was hoping it wasn't so how was she going to tell Nate now,
"I've prescribed some irons for you I know you're healthy but now that you're pregnant irons are recommend"
"Thank you doctor" Tiana said on receiving the paper,
"You're welcome, if you're going to continue seeing me I'll schedule your next appointment"
"Ok but can I call you before you make an appointment"
"sure my number is on the prescription"
"Thank you doctor" Tiana got up shook his hand before walking from his office, her knees were shaking as if she could faint Nate is going to be more mad at her now, a baby to throw at him now already when he's face with the responsibility of her two children, it didn't seems he work and Lord knows she didn't know if is Monday could carry them through, she don't have a job, she got to the car and cry because she became confused and frustrated,
Nathaniel widened his eyes when he saw the Jeep wasn't in the driveway, "Maria did Tiana say where she was going?"
"No Mr Archibald, the ma'am just said she'll go out"
"Ok Maria"
They went their separate ways Nathaniel went to the bar, and Maria went to the kitchen,
Tiana dial clover for she really need some one to talk with she was her only friend and best friend she'll know the right things to say, she will give her a comforting arm and a shoulder to lean on, and tell her not to cry it's going to be alright, she need to hear that from someone right now,
"Believe it or not I just thought about you"
"Can we talk?"
"yes I'm not busy now"
"I want to see you"
"Ok"
"Can we meet at school?"
Clover was halfway from school going home, but Tiana sounds sad she wasn't sure what was the problem, and couldn't think of turning her down, "yes we can"
"I'm on my way there now"
She was going to drive to fort Collins and wasn't sure if she has gas and didn't have more than some change in her purse, since she was going to meet clover she thought of waiting to collect the children, she call the house asking Maria to let Nate knows she'll bring the children,
Nathaniel was puzzled that she would go to fort Collins when her husband was there wondering what reason it is for her to gone by herself, he didn't want to call her he trust her to care for herself, besides if that man much as breathe too hard on her he'll kill him and he swear it on his father's grave that he will, she's his now it's just to get those divorce papers and get it out of her life, it's ok if the children wants to see him and it won't be against neither of them will, he pour a drink of tequila and sat down turn the music on and remain there for a while,
"Clover" Tiana called on stepping out the Jeep's,
"TI-ANA....,GIRL...!" Clover said when she saw her come out the ride, "girl your ride is hot, I didn't know you could drive"
"A friend of Nate taught me"
"That's so cool"
"Can we just talk some where?"
"we can go to Dip-neys" clover said
" Ok" Tiana said
Clover hug her at the waist, "Are you getting fat?"
Tiana look at her and she giggle,
"Can you buy chocolate smoothy at Dip-neys?" Tiana ask
"clover look at her?"
"well I'm low on cash since I used up the money Nate gave me and the change I have I'm saving it in case I'll need gas"
"Don't worry you're my girl I got you"
"Thank you"
"Ok"
Clover order two chocolate smoothy for them both they sat down outside Dip-neys as usual when they visit Tiana eat through a potion of her smoothy,
"So what's the urgency, you sounded confused over the phone, so you call from your cell phone, let me see"
Tiana took it from the bag to show her,
"Clover I'm preg, pregnant"
"You're?"
Tiana nod,
"For whome?"
"Nate it's only three weeks"
"Oh thank God, I almost thought it was that horrible man"
Tiana giggle,
"Did you told Nate?"
"I'm just coming from the doctor"
"So what make you went to the doctor?"
The dentist recommended me?"
"The dentist?"
"I'm having this funny feeling on my teeth"
"Oh early signs, it happens to me when I got pregnant once, it will go a way soon just don't drink, too much cold things"
"Too much cold things" Tiana said with her,
Clover nod"
"They told me one of them did or may be both I don't remember, I'm just so worried"
"what far?"
"Nate and I haven't change words after what he had gone through with his wife and her pregnancy, I don't know, telling him I'm pregnant might chigger him off"
"you meant to say he's in another room?"
"we make out share the shower, he's perfect with the children he's sending them to school he gave them things but still no words"
"you just have to say it Tiana"
"Can you call him?" Tiana ask
"I won't do that much as I love you and you mean the world to me, no"
"What if he thinks it's for Aran?"
"Nonsense he'll never"
"I'm afraid"
"Eat your smoothy"
Tiana lean over on clover,
" Don't cry please, crying isn't good for pregnancy, haven't you cried enough?"
Tiana nod wipe the tears away hugging clover,
From Dip-neys they walk to the small plaza to look around Tiana didn't want to wonder far for she could never tell where her husband was and she didn't want to risk running into him, at two thirty they walk back to school, they wait in the park for the children, they came out with Clover's children both of them looking around for Nate's car, Rihanna check her watch he was never late,
"Hey" clover call her children saw her then they saw Tiana they giggle and went running,
"You going to tell the children?" Clover ask
"No!" Tiana said through her teeth giving her a eye the children came and she hug them all,
"Nice ride" clover daughter said looking over the Jeep,
"Where's Mr Nate?" Rihanna ask looking around,
"I'm here for you"
"you drove here on your own?" Niccane ask
"Yes"
They look at each other with wide eyes,
Clover laugh,
"It's completely fine" Tiana said
"Why didn't Mr Nate come mom?" Rihanna ask
"I told Maria to tell him I would"
"Who's Maria?" Clover ask
"She work at the house, she works for Nate"
"Oh so you have a house help"
" Something like that"

"Please do and take care you know how much I love you" clover said,
"You know how much I love you" Tiana repeat, she drove off roll up the windows,
"It took her much longer to get home with the children as Nathaniel would he wondered what was keeping them hoping Tiana hasn't ran in to any difficulty, he knew she wasn't use to the road all that well and there were some crazy drivers out there, he came out on the lawn to look out it was getting later than late, at five fifty she came in and park next to his car,
"Mr Nate" both Rihanna and Niccane ran to hug him, he hug them to him, "what took you so long today?"
"Guess you already know that" they look at Tiana Nate smile, "go in get chance" he said
"Ok" they said running off
"fresh up too it's nearly dinner"
He wasn't sure they heard for they didn't respond,
Tiana came up to face him
"I took up the children, for,  I had to, to go in to see clover" Tiana explained nervously,
Nathaniel look at her for some time before he nods, "So are you ok?" He ask
"I'm fine" she lie hanging her head,
Nathaniel nod walk away leaving her, she walk in the house and went to the kitchen,
"Ma'am how are you?"
"I'm fine Maria thanks for asking,

After a short grace they begin to eat,
"Can I asked you a question Mr Nate?" Rihanna ask
"Rihanna not now"
"Let me hear it" Nathaniel said
"can't aunt clover come over and visit?"
Tiana look at her then to Nate,
"I'm sure she can have you invited her?"
"It's not just aunt clover it's aunt clover and her family" Niccane said
"I would have an idea" Nathaniel said "what do you think Niccane you want to invite them?"

She didn't need to look to know he looks at her,
"School is scheduled to close next week isn't it so? Soon as it's how longer school time"
"We can?" Rihanna ask
Nathaniel nod she and Niccane giggle in their hand
Tiana believe all this will change when he learn she's pregnant, he's going to go crazy he might just bring them back to Aran,
He heard her sigh look at her,
She didn't eat much today it didn't even seems the food tasted right she has no taste no appetite, and the iron pills she's to take she didn't get to buy them, she ate her vegetables with a glass of water from the tap she didn't finish her meatballs and spaghetti, she push the plate away, get up from the table when she didn't come back Rihanna and Niccane finish her meatballs and spaghetti, Nathaniel and the two children wash the dishes then watch family time, the children stay up and play chest with Natalie they were up till midnight they all went up together the children were put in bed fell a sleep they went to the room and Tiana close it with the lock down they took a shower sharing the bathroom he didn't try anything tonight and Tiana wondered if it's the fact she went to fort Collins,
"Nate" Tiana called him he was already laying down, he lift his head to look at her, "can we talk?"
He look at her roll over then sat up, he pulled to the edge of the bed facing where she sat,
Tiana sat down right next to him, she got up again sat down then got up,
"I had gone to see the dentist, they had recommended me to a doctor" she got up pacing the floor,
"Are you sick?"
Tiana shook her head,
"What is it Tiana?"
