Our Memories......The Second Time Around

Chapter Twelve

Sanem and Can planned to tell their news to the rest of the family over the weekend. They would invite them all to their house, for a dinner celebration. Can was so glad his dad had decided to stay. His dad and Mihriban seemed to be mending there relationship and moving forward. The next few days would be filled with excitement, he was ready for everyone to know about their new addition. The agency was struggling a bit, trying to regain some financial status since Womanart decided to part ways with them. Can and Emre both felt it was worth the loss just to be rid of Aicha. Can wasn't about to risk Sanem being upset over a woman harboring unwanted attentions for him. There were several company's that had shown some interest in the agency, he had no doubt they would land something soon.

The morning sickness had subsided slightly, letting Sanem have a breather. But the tiredness was still there, causing her to make her work days short and head for Can's office for a nap. He didn't mind at all, in fact it made him feel better seeing her there. The rest of the week was spent making her comfortable, making sure she ate right and got plenty if sleep. Everyone in the office was a buzz about what was going on, but first they would tell the rest of the family, then their friends in the office. Even Emre hadn't a glue of what was going on, but he knew his brother was really worried about Sanem, catering to her every need. 

Saturday had finally arrived, and the family was coming for a early dinner, and they would reveal their surprise. He had planned a great meal, fresh vegetables and pasta dish, which was suppose to be very good for Sanem. Friday night had proven to be a little more exciting than even he had planned, but Sanem had taken the lead with things and who was he to complain, his very sexy little wife had a mind if her own. He woke to Sanem having the worst case of morning sickness she had endured all week. He helped her all he could, getting her in the shower, brewing her some tea and bringing her biscuits to nibble on. She was so upset and crying, " Why today, of all days." She moaned. " I wanted to help you with all the preparation for this evening, but now I feel weak and tired."  He got her all situated in the bed, with her tray of snacks and the tv on.         " Don't you worry about anything, I've got it all covered. He announced, " This is Can Divit your talking to, and the father of your little bundle of joy, so there's nothing to fear." He demanded. 

She loved him more every second, if that was even possible, he was the best husband ever. But she still wanted to be in there working along side him, cooking and dancing to the music he had playing, this was a special day and she needed to be apart of it. Most of the dinner was prepared and on hold in the oven by 2:00. The family wouldn't be there until 5:00 so he had time to snuggle up with Sanem for a while and relax. With the table set and decorated he took off his apron and grabbed them a fresh brewed cup of tea and went to the bedroom. He stopped at the door and smiled, she looked like an angel, hugging his pillow and sound asleep. He crawled in beside her and got comfortable, her smell relaxed him like a sedative, and in no time he was asleep also. 

Can was startled as he woke to Sanem shaking him, " Can wake up it's almost 5:00. They will be here soon." She hurried around to the closet, grabbing out  the outfit she had chose to wear for the evening. She was glad she had planned it out ahead of time. Can was trying to shake the grogginess from his head, and make sense of what she was saying. " Can our family will be here soon, come on get up, is the food ready." She quizzed. He finally came to his senses and bounded out of bed, " Ah, oh, yes it's ready and in the oven, I just need to cook the pasta." He sprinted to the kitchen and put the water on to boil, and back to the bedroom to get dressed himself. " Oh wow, I guess I fell asleep after I snuggled up to you." He stated, " Do you feel ok," he asked her. She stretched up on her tiptoes and kissed his lips, " Yes, I feel great, now stop worrying about me." He quickly pulled her back to him. " Let's try that again, Mrs. Divit, I think I missed something."  He pressed his lips to hers, firmly but with a gentleness that made her weak inside. " Can, don't get me started, if you can't finish the job, that's not nice." She purred against his searching lips. "Sanem, I will be more than happy to finish the job, just lock the door and hang out the "Do Not Disturb" sign, it's that simple." His eyes danced with happiness and desire, as he stroked her hair. She smiled, "Just hold that thought, my husband, until after our guest leave, then the rest of the weekend is ours." She said with a wink. She felt the hardness of him pushing against the stomach, she knew it was almost to late, " Go take a cold shower, or you will have to wear a longer shirt, and I'll take care of the pasta." She laughed. He watched her walk out leaving him there frustrated and wanting more. 

He did just that, barely getting ready before their guests arrived. He hated seeing her have to do any of the cooking, but she was determined to help. His dad and Mihriban were the first to arrive, they were happy to see them and see that their relationship was had blossomed into quite the affair. Sanem's family was quick to follow, then Emre and Leila. Leila , of course, knew the whole scheme of the dinner party, but had sworn her secrecy to Sanem. Can had outdone himself, as bad as she hated to admit it, Polen had been good for him as far as his learning to cook almost anything. The table was lovely, and the food....delicious, and the company was the best. The excitement was almost impossible to hide. Can and Leila fixed tea and everyone moved out to the outdoor seating area by the pool. The night was perfect for March, a slight chill that was warmed by the fire that Can had started in the fireplace, just the right time to make the best announcement of their life.

Can stood, holding Sanem's hand as she sat, " Well I'm sure you are all wondering why we ask you here tonight." He started. " There's just something's that need to be announced in a grand way, and this is one of those things." His face beaming with pride. " We are very happy, and we hope you all will be also, to be welcoming a small bundle of Divit joy, in about 7 months, give or take a few days." He shouted. The air was silent for a second, then all erupted into a wild rush of excitement, Mevkibe was in tears and Nihat was crying and clapping his hands. Aziz and Mihriban embraced Can and Sanem, laughing and shouting their joy. Of course Mevkibe immediately hovered over Sanem, asking if she was feeling ok, and telling her all the do's and don'ts of pregnancy. Emre hugged his brother, slapping him on the back, " Now I understand why you were so protective over her. He spouted." I'm happy for you, and Sanem." You'll be a perfect dad, I just know it."  Watching the the happiness spread across his brothers face.

Sanem watched her family celebrate their happiness and engulf themselves in their love....

Her heart was full, her life was perfect, nothing could ever go wrong again.........
