Alex had cooked dinner while talking to Lorna and was glad to hear she would be home. She was the woman he loved, and had married, and he wanted to spend more time with her. THis new sudden desire for babies? He wasn’t so sure of. Sure, he wanted them someday, but it wasn’t a thing he wanted immediately or with great desire right away. But it was also something he could do.
Now they just needed to talk.
Lorna parked her scooter and bounced inside, shedding her sweater. She made her way into the kitchen, inhaling deeply. “Mmmm, it smells good!” She hugged Alex, kissing him eagerly.
“Hello, gorgeous.” He smiled and pulled her close, kissing her long and warmly.”Foods almost done. Why don’t you sit and tell me about your day?”
She took a seat and grabbed a bottle of water from the fridge with her powers. “It was really good! The kids and I harvested some squash, then we went on a hike, and then we did math, but they were all too worn out to do anything but pay attention. Then I stopped at a bakery on the way home to grab cupcakes. How was yours?”
“Sounds good. I had a good one. Lectured in two classes, gave a test in geophysics, and did some conferences. Mostly, had a good day.” He finished the food, levering it to plates and bringing it to her.
She smiled and quickly set out silverware and another drink for Alex. “Good. So babies. We should have them.”
“Why now? Suddenly?” He was curious as he settled down and kissed her, then nodded. “Not that I am completely against the idea. I always wanted to have them someday, but why now?”
“Why not? We have stable jobs, we’ve shown that we can handle a teenager, also we have health benefits. Everyone else is having babies, so it’ll have friends in its age group, and I’m afraid if we wait too long we’ll miss our chance.” She reached across the table for his hand. “I could have easily had that dream one night earlier, and then I’d just be dead. We can all get messed up at any time, and I don’t want to risk losing you forever because right now just didn’t feel like the time for babies.”
He squeezed her hand as she said her piece, and then he nodded slowly. “Okay. We can start tonight. And make appointments for the doctor tomorrow.”
Okay.
Lorna nodded, taking a deep breath. “Beside, it’ll probably take us a few months to do it, I mean it’s not like it’s always as easy as having unprotected sex once and then you’re done.” She smiled at him. “But I know whatever we have to do will be worth it. We’ll make a beautiful, smart, amazing baby.”
He chuckled. “We should yes, and no matter who or what our baby is, I will love them.” He kissed her again. then poked her. “Now eat. Talk more after.”
She made a face at him. “Okay.” She smiled and started to eat, making appreciative noises. “I love that you can cook. It’s super hot.”
Alex chuckled as he ate then poked her. “I love that you love my cooking. And you are always superhot.” He reflected that she was the perfect woman for him, and he loved that it seemed to gel for them, and really had gotten good.
“You want to go to Portland for my birthday? I figure it’s either that or camping. We definitely need to do whichever we don’t do in October the next time we get a chance.”
Alex nodded. “Portland. Sounds like a fun trip, and we can scope out sites for camping for the next time we have free time.” He grinned.
“Probably spring at this rate, huh? Unless we go south. We could camp on the beach. Oh! That actually sounds really fun!” She beamed at him, extremely pleased with the idea.
“Yeah. A few months from now, yes.” He grinned wider. “There are some good areas out there, to do that in.”
“Well, if we go south and camp on the beach it won’t be too cold.” Lorna noted with a grin. “We can work on that baby thing there. On top of a bunch of pads and a sleeping blanket inside a tent is the only way to have sex on the beach.”
“Sounds like fun. We can scout out some places, and make ourselves at home.” He nodded, eyes alight as he looked at her.
“I can’t wait.” She said with a laugh.
