Veinna Estate - Josie and Scott's rooms
Josie waited nervously for him to get home, she'd wanted to call him right away after she'd been to see the doctor. She licked her lips, folded her hands, and fidgited, sitting in a chair in their room. Sometimes it still seemed like this was a dream and this was not her home, her room, her life. But it was and she fell more in love with her husband everyday, she rose to meet the expectations of the family, his and hers, and of thier elite 'society'. Today she was more nervous than she'd been on their wedding day.. only a few months before. She jumped when she heard the door. "Scotty?" Her voice seemed surprised, worried.. nervous.
"Yeah, it's me," the voice came in ahead of him, sounding a little distracted. If she listened, she'd hear the telltale crystal being opened and the iceless amber being decanted.
She rose and stepped into their sitting room. He was at the bar and she walked up behind him, slipping her arms around his waist. "Hey hon... " Her voice trembled slightly as did her hands.
He sipped the liquid and set the glass down, covering her hand with his and feeling the tremble. "Whoa, hey you... what's got my little girl all shook up, huh?"
She trembled more at him noticing, her nerves all a twitter. "Oh.. you just got home.. it can wait.. you need time.. yes, time.. to unwind.. relax... "
"I'm fine, sweetpea.. what'cha got for me, huh?" He was obviously distracted, but focused on her as he turned and slipped her closer to him. "Jo.. what's wrong?"
"I.. ah.. nothing wrong.. per say.. I.. oh dear.." She rested her head against his chest, her arms wrapping tightly around him. God she loved the feel of his arms around her, she loved to be in the safety of his embrace... she felt so complete. "Scott... I'm pregnant." She said softly and then added in a slightly quieter voice. "With twins."
"Josie?" He chuckled nervously. "You're... I mean.. that would mean...," he thought about timing and how soon it had happened. "You're... what with... what?" The second part had escaped him at first and he took a double take, gently watching her eyes.
She gave him a nervous smile, nodding her head slowly, her eyes brimming with tears. "Pregnant.. with twins... We're going to be parents."
"Hey why are you crying? It's okay, hon... it's all okay. Parents, huh?" He smiled, a little stunned still and leaned to kiss her. "I love you, Josie... and I'm honored and blessed."
She dove into his kiss, pouring such love over his lips. She laughed softly. "I'm happy... and scared.... Twins!?"
"How long.. I mean.. how far.. when... do you know?"
She blushed and nodded. "The wedding day.. or night.. one of those, maybe two of those several times we.." She chuckled and smiled up at him.
"So almost... Josie... that's almost three months," he said, holding her gently. "What did the boys say? Do you know yet? Boys, girls, both?"
