Keeping the Attraction

[melbender]

First topic message reminder :

"sleep" he groaned with a yaw."it's too early and you asked me to stay."

I finished rinsing my mouth as he kissed my cheek and spoke "I love you too, and I thought since you had an early meeting that you wouldn't want him around."

[melbender]

"Jason made me feel safe." I pointed out quietly. "Please understand that I don't want Tom with me."

[Demona]

"Alright. You'll keep jason, but know that i won't be at ease"

[melbender]

"You'll have to trust me then." I looked at him. "Because if you can't then I don't know what to do anymore."

[Demona]

"But i do trust you, i just don't trust him Nymore, nor his feelings"

[melbender]

My heart rate began to quicken. "He's in a relationship. I would never.." and then I realised something. "I'll have Tom with me. A change will be good. But just be prepared for me to go shopping tomorrow with your wallet."

[Demona]

"Thank you" i said relieved and chuckled "of course you are" i took her hand to my mouth and kissed it softly.

[melbender]

"Were having a baby, I'll need to go crazy buying pink instead of always blue and boy things. I can't wait to do a nursery in the house." I smiled, picking up the menu and scanning my eyes over it

[Demona]

"Do you want me to...go with you?" I never went shopping with her for our babies

[melbender]

I stilled, unsure if I heard right or not. "I didn't think you would be interested, I mean you've never been before.." I looked into his eyes "but i would love you to come."

[Demona]

"Than we'll go together tomorrow. I want to be involved in this pregnancy as much as i can"

[melbender]

"You mean that?" My gaze lowered back to our hands "please don't get my hopes up.. this is all I've wanted for so long and it means more than you'd ever know."

[Demona]

"Of course i mean it. Have i ever said anything important like that without meaning it?"

[melbender]

I raised a brow, nodding. "You almost missed Finn and Andys birth because of a work meeting. Then there was that year you took off, a few months in you went back working." I pointed out, "i want this pregnancy to be different."

[Demona]

"Me too. And i promise i won't miss anything. Work can wait"

[melbender]

"Good. Tomorrow I'll meet you at work and we can take an early lunch, I've been dying to take you into some baby stores." I winked "and maternity lingerie shopping."

[Demona]

I chuckled "i'd gladly go to both." I looked at the menue "i feel like sea food. What about you?"

[melbender]

"Just a salad for me, I've eaten too much birthday cake today." I half laughed softly. "But I'll definitely have dessert."

[Demona]

"Ok, well if you change your mine you can eat with me" i smiled and ordered our food before getting up and sitting next to her "you're too far"

[melbender]

I smiled leaning into him more, caressing his strong jaw line "I've been thinking about baby names, what do you think about Quinn? I would also like her middle name to be Stefani."

[Demona]

"Quinn stefani," i smiled and leaned closer to capture her lips in mine "i love it baby"

[melbender]

"I'm still mad with you." I pointed out, leaning in to kiss him. "Are you set with work to take the time off for camping?"

[Demona]

"No you're not" i grinned pecking her nose "yes don't worry about it. I also spoke to Noah, he's doing good"

[melbender]

"Without me? What! When?" I pulled away, wishing to hear from him. "How could you contact him?"

[Demona]

"i told tem i needed to ask him something about work, which isn't a lie. I needed to know what deal he made with a client so i wouldn't ask for more or less. He's doing good, he sounded better. And next time i call i'll let you talk to him i promise"

[melbender]

"You better. Im struggling not to go and bring him home." I sighed staring over at others dining and being all romantic. "I miss lily too. The kids are leaving Steven. I'll be devastated when Tom wants to move out. Even the twins are talking about apartments in the city next year."
