Love's Crazy Twists (22 page)

              “Yeah, that’s fine Julie. I understand. And you are very welcome. Like I said before, I’ll always be here for you and the baby. No matter what. I love you.”

              “Thanks, I love you too.” Julie got out of the car and went into the house.

              She sat down in the rocking chair and started crying. She instinctively put her hand on her stomach as she realized that there was something growing in there. And she was afraid. For the first time in a long time she was really afraid. What if she told Shane that she was pregnant and he got angry and left her? What it she wasn’t a good mom to this little baby that was growing inside of her? She was so scared and yet it was beginning to sink in and she kept rubbing her stomach and talking to it. Now she just had to find a way to tell Shane that he was going to be a dad.

              She decided to go ahead and get everything ready for Shane’s return in what she hoped would be only a few short hours. So she set about putting candles around the room and finding just the right music to play that would set the mood for when Shane arrived. She had to forget about the wine giving her newly found out condition. She didn’t have roses for the table or rose petals for the bed, but after she went around and lit all the candles it did look pretty good to her. “Romantic, if I do say so myself.” She said out loud. “Now all I have to do is wait for Shane.”

              Then she remembered the lingerie. But is it still appropriate to wear sexy lingerie when you are pregnant? She didn’t think it would hurt anything, because she knew that pregnant women were allowed to have sex until their doctor told them to stop.  After contemplating it for about 15 minutes, she decided to go for it. After all she would soon be gaining lots of weight and then she wouldn’t want to wear sexy lingerie at all.

              So she went to her room and picked up the lace teddy and the feel of the delicate material running through her fingers made her smile. ‘Shane will definitely like the feel of this.’ She thought. She pulled off her blue jeans and picked up the black thigh highs. She rolled them on one leg at a time. The sheer act of the thigh highs on was making her feel sexy already. After she successfully had the hose on, she took off her blue t-shirt, black bra and underwear and replaced them with the black lace teddy with the thong. She looked in the full length mirror that hung on the back of her bedroom door and was amazed.

              “Damn, I look good.” She said. Then she saw a pair of black strappy high-heeled shoes lying right inside her open closet door, and she put them on. “That is much better. Shane is going to be so surprised to see me in this.”

              She felt kind of silly sitting around in lingerie all by herself in a dark house lit with nothing but candles and she wished desperately that Shane would soon be here. She lay on the couch and waited.

              There was a knock on the door and Julie jumped up and ran to the door as fast as she could. She swung the door open, reached out and grabbed Shane and kissed him hard on the mouth. When she pulled back she saw that it wasn’t Shane, it was Matt!

              “Wow! Julie! You look amazing. I guess your mom was right, I should stop over tonight and see you. “She must have set this whole thing up so that we would get back together.”

              “Matt! What the hell are you doing here?” She screamed, “And what are you saying about my mother?” She demanded.

              “Your mom told me that I should stop in this evening to see you. I see that you were waiting for me to arrive. I can’t believe that you want to get back together and not cancel the wedding.”

              “What?” She yelled walking away to grab a robe. “I don’t want to get back with you, and I don’t want to marry you! My Mother is crazy! I told her all about you abusing me all these years and she said that she was happy for me. She was happy that I am finally happy with Shane. I never once said anything us getting back together. NEVER!”

              “Then why did you answer the door dressed in practically nothing!” He yelled pointing to her clothing or lack thereof. “And why did you kiss me like that?” He demanded.

              “Matt, listen to me. I’m sorry if you got the wrong impression just now, but I don’t want to be with you. I was waiting for Shane to come home, that’s why I look like I do. I love Shane and that is just how it’s going to be.” She looked at Matt, and could see his face harden and braced herself for the worst. “So could you just please go?” She asked sincerely.

              “Listen, Julie. I still love you. You have to know that. I’m so sorry for everything that I’ve done.     I’m sorry for Chelsea and I’m sorry for all the years of being such an asshole to you. I know that you loved me at one time, and I was so hoping for out love to be rekindled. If Shane is what makes you happy, then so be it. I just want to see you happy. That’s all I want. And if I can’t make you happy, then I am glad that someone else can. I’ll go now. I love you.” And with that being said he walked away.

              Julie shut the door and thought, ‘Shane, where are you? I need you. If you aren’t coming, please call me.’ She walked back to the couch and started to wait again. Luckily for her she didn’t have to wait much  longer. About fifteen minutes after Matt left there was another knock on the door, this time she ran to the door and peeked out before opening it. It was Shane! She threw off the robe and opened the door.

              “How you doing, Stud?” She said as she was reaching for him. He pulled her to him and kissed her on the mouth.

              “Oh, Baby, I’ve missed you so much.” He said and kissed her again.

              Julie pulled him into the house and shut the door behind them. Shane held Julie up against the door and kept kissing her. “You look so sexy.” He said. “I don’t want to let go of you.”

              “Then don’t.”

              “I want to look at you.” He held her at arms length and looked at her. He caught his breath and just stared at her. “My you are beautiful. I can’t believe that I could be so lucky as to have you for my own. I love you.”

              “Shane, I have one request...” she started.             

              “Anything.” He replied.

              “Make love to me.”

              “Well, that I can do.” He said and kissed her again. He picked her up and carried her to the bedroom and laid her on the bed.

              He kept kissing her while his hands roamed over her body. He couldn’t get enough of her. He pulled away from the kiss and looked at her again, he still couldn’t believe how happy he was. He began to kiss his way down her body. His hands stopped on her breasts while his lips kept heading south. Julie arched her back, she wanted more. She didn’t know if she could wait much longer for him to enter her. Her body burned with desire. His hands were on her thighs and she parted her legs for him. He lowered his mouth and kissed her on the outside of the lacy teddy. His hands followed and he was even more surprised to find that her lingerie was crotch-less! He put a finger inside the fabric and could feel her hair and he noticed that it was already damp. He smiled as she moaned and said, “Please. Please Shane, touch me.”

              He obliged. He inserted a finger and her sweetness came dripping out.  He lowered his head and began to kiss her in her secret garden. She tasted so good. He parted her lips with his fingers so that he could really get in there. He licked and flicked her clit with his tongue.  He was becoming intoxicated by her aroma.  She began flailing around on the bed. She kept reaching for him, trying to pull him to her, but he wouldn’t stop. He was a man on a mission. She began moaning out loudly and then she came crashing down on him. Only after she quieted did he stop and go to her. She reached for him and kissed him, deeply, tasting her own self.  She could smell her aroma on his face. But she didn’t care. All she cared about was kissing the man of her dreams.

              Shane lay down beside her, still kissing her, and she rolled over and was on top of him. She pulled away from kiss. Her hands sought out his body. They roamed over his chest and stomach. They stopped when they reached their destination. She found that he was so hard and ready to go. She began to stroke him up and down. He let out a low moan. She lowered her head and licked the length of him. He tensed and moaned again. This time she took him in her mouth, all of his massive member. He shuttered and arched his back. She was getting turned on again just by his reactions to her.  She sucked him slow and with increasing vigor until he exploded all of his frustrations of missing her touch for the past almost two weeks.

              He pulled Julie up to him and kissed her again. Now he finally started making love to her. They fell asleep in each others arms, happy.

              They started the next day just the same way as they ended the last one. While they were lying there Shane said to Julie, “Have you thought about what I asked you? Will you go with me while I work? We can travel around together. We won’t have to ever be apart again.”

              “Shane, I’ve been thinking about it, and as much as I’d like to, I don’t know if I can. How long would we be gone? What if the bank calls me back to work while we are gone, I’d probably lose my job. There are just so many things to think about. I don’t know what to do. I don’t want to be away from you. I love you so much.”

              “It’s OK, you don’t have to decide right now. They offered me another proposal, I can go on the road and take you with me or I can drive locally and be home every night to see you. It’s up to you.”

              “Shane, no, don’t leave it up to me. I know how much you like to travel and see the country, and I’d love to go...but...”

              “I know it’s a lot to think about. We have two weeks to decide, for I am now on vacation.” He said.

              “Cool. Does that mean we don’t have to leave bed for two weeks?” She teased.

              “If that’s what you want.” He started, “But I was kind of thinking that we could go out one night. Somewhere special.”

              “Where?”

              “I can’t tell you where. It’s a surprise.”

              “OK, you know how I love surprises.”

              The next few days were like heaven. They spent their days being happily in love and making love. Finally, the Clinic called and confirmed the blood test was, in deed, positive.  So now Julie had to figure out how to tell Shane that she was pregnant and having his baby.

              Friday afternoon Julie decided that tonight would be the night to tell Shane about the baby.

              She thought that she would make a fancy dinner and tell him then. But Shane had different plans for dinner that night. Shane came home from the truck garage and said, “Julie, get ready, we are going out.”

              “Where are we going, Hun?” She asked.

              “It’s a surprise.”

              “I kind of had a surprise of my own.” She said.

              “Oh, well, if you’d rather do yours instead of mine, then we can do that.” He said.

              “No that’s  all right. We can go, just give me half an hour to get ready.” She said.

              Julie started to get ready, she put her make up on and pulled her hair up. She knew that any time Shane said to get ready because they were going out that it was always something special, so she picked out a nice little dress. She had already decided that this would be the night to tell him that she was pregnant. As she was putting the dress on, it hit her that it was the same dress that she wore the night that her and Shane had went out and ended up at t he cabin for the night.  The little red number with the spaghetti straps and the slits up the sides. It was one of her favorites. In the back of her mind she wondered if Shane would remember it. Then something told her that he would.

              “Shane, Honey, I’m ready.” She called as she came out of the bedroom.

              “Wow! Look at you!” He exclaimed. “You look perfect.” He walked to her and kissed her.

              “Thanks. You look pretty good yourself.” She smiled. “So, can you tell me where we are going?”

              He shook his head, “I said it was a surprise.”

              They got in his  Mustang and drove away. As they were driving down the road Julie turned to Shane and said, “Honey, I’ve something really important to talk to you about.”

              “You sound so serious, Baby, is everything OK?” He asked, concerned.

              “Yeah, it’s nothing bad. It’s just. While you were gone I found out something.” She paused and looked at him. “It’s not really anything bad either, it’s just really big.”

              “OK, what is it?”

              “Well, I don’t know how to tell you.” This time Shane looked at her. “Don’t look at me like that.” She grinned.

              “Julie, whatever it is, just go on and tell me. If you’re worried that what you have to tell me will mess up this evening, you are very wrong. This evening is going to be perfect. Trust me.” He grinned.

              “OK, here it goes. I was at the doctor’s while you were gone and I found out that I am pregnant.” She said it and waited for the pieces to fall.

              “Pregnant?” He asked.
