It is a lie, it's all a lie and I know this! But even knowing that...
I had a really good time tonight. The food was delicious, I indulged in a glass of strawberry meade, and I learned that my husband is quite the fine dancer. Even the little imp seemed to have a good time, fluttering along with the music.
Too soon it seemed, my energy flagged again. My ever attentive husband gently insisted that we return home, that a woman in my condition must take care of herself. I conceded of course, how I could I refuse that smile? We walked home arm in arm, and when we entered the kitchen, I noted there were a few pineapples sitting on the counter, which I thanked him for with a rain of kisses over his face. Kent then proceeded to sweep me up in his arms and carry me upstairs with a dark, glittering smile and a promise that he would make sure I would sleep well tonight...
and now; as I lay spent and sated, curled within the circle of his arms, I believe that claim. I can barely keep my eyes open as I place a kiss against his neck and settle my head on his shoulder. I can feel our daughter flutter as my husband's hand caresses my stomach, and I laugh quietly, oddly content within this moment. Then the moment slips away as I do into a dreamless sleep...
