It is Saturday afternoon and Tess and James just can't keep still.

"Sweetheart, your foot isn't going to get better if you keep walking." Catherine said.

Tess nodded and sat down. "I just can't stay still. And James can't sit down and that makes me nervous too."

Catherine gave a look at James indicating him to sit down.

"Fine. But it isn't my fault." James said. He sat down next to Tess.

"Look we have to distract ourselves or else the night will be forever." Catherine proposed.

"I know what can distract me." James whispered into Tess ear.

Tess turned to look at him with a smile before whispering back" Later".

He groaned not really knowing when later was and sat all the way back in his chair.

"Well what can we do ?" Tess asked.

"Just talk. I can tell stories of when you were little." Catherine said.

"Fine but not anything that embarrasses me." Tess said.

James chuckled and pulled his chair up close to Catherine.

"Ok. So when Tess was about 10 she decided she was leaving. She stole a horse with her friend. They jumped in a frater and kept going for about 2 cities. But when her girlfriend started crying they hopped off and called me to pick them up."

James turned to look at Tess and shook his head disprovingly. Tess rolled her eyes causing the other two to laugh.

"But that wasn't all she did." Catherine added. "Her grandfather taught her to drive when she was 11. And oh my god did that get me in trouble. When she was about 12 she stole a car to, I guess drive around. And I had to also go pick her up later. And when she was 13 she got taken to jail because one of her friends had reported stolen the car she had taken to a drive thru."

"Damn. You were trouble, Tess." James remarked.

"You already knew that, babe."

The time passed and Tess had fallen asleep. Now from her pregnancy she couldn't go further than 11:00 without sleeping.

James observed her as she slept and could see she already had a larger bump.

When she was at the club she dressed with baggy things or always wore a coat.

He hated having to hide their baby but if all went fine it would only have to be for another couple of hours.

James sat back and also looked at her foot. It was getting much better and not that long ago she had been pacing with him.

He got lost in his thoughts for a while that he didn't realize Tess had woken up.

"Babe...why are you still awake?" Tess asked. She pulled herself up with her arms and sat up.

"I was just thinking about stuff." James said.

"We can talk about it if you want to." Tess added.

"Well...if all goes well tomorrow.....we get to shout out to the world that we're expecting. And that we're engaged. That we are going to be together for the rest of our lives. But most importantly that you are taken and no one else can be with you ever."

Tess laughed covering her mouth. She opened his arms and sat in between his legs.

"I can't wait either. Cause all of this is mine." Tess said grabbing hold of his hands.
