  I just want to keep a clear head tonight,” Lucy smiled, but Tucker gave her a strange look.

  “If you’re sure,” Tucker replied.

  “I am,” Lucy giggled, and kissed Tucker softly on the lips. “I promise.”

  “It’s official,” Tucker sighed, as he flopped down on the bed. “My wife is as talented as she is beautiful. Would it be uncool of me to say…umm…told you so.”

  “Just a bit,” Lucy laughed, as she slipped off her shoes, walked towards Tucker and turned her back to him. “Will you unzip me, please?”

  “Oh I would love to,” he growled, as he jumped up from the bed and reached for her zipper. As he eased it down, he softly kissed her shoulder. “You looked so beautiful this evening.”

  “You sir, have had too much champagne,” Lucy giggled.

  “Doesn’t mean that I am wrong,” he replied, as he eased the straps of her dress down from her shoulders and continued to kiss her soft skin. “You are beyond beautiful.”

  “Mmm,” was all she said, as she leaned back into him.

  “If your father wasn’t in the next room,” Tucker growled. “I would do very rude things to you.”

  “Then maybe you should behave,” Lucy laughed, as she let her dress drop to the floor and stepped out of it. She picked it up and walked across the room to her wardrobe.

  She removed her underwear, then pulled on a baggy t-shirt before she walked back towards the bed.

  As she sat on the side of the bed, she pulled out her make-up wipes and cleaned her face.

  “Did you mean it when you told Clare you were thinking of selling this apartment?” Tucker asked as he got stripped too.

  “Well I was thinking about it,” Lucy replied as she watched Tucker. “I think it might be a good idea. Maybe we could get somewhere bigger.”

  “Why would we need somewhere bigger?” Tucker asked, as he hung up his suit and threw his shirt into the laundry hamper.

  “Well,” Lucy smiled. “I think it would be nice for the baby to have its own room.”

  Tucker stopped what he was doing and looked at Lucy.

  “The baby?” He asked, looking stunned.

  Lucy smiled and nodded, and she leaned up on the bed. It was then Tucker noticed the t-shirt she was wearing. It said in big bold letters across the front, ‘I’m pregnant.'

  “Are you serious?” Tucker asked, as the biggest smile filtered across his face.

  “Deadly seriously,” Lucy grinned.

  “WOOHOOO!!” Tucker screamed as he ran to the bed and pulled Lucy into his arms and kissed her on the lips. “This is the best news ever.”

  “So you’re happy?” Lucy asked.

  “More than you could imagine,” Tucker said, as he touched her tummy. “Guess our adventure is still beautifully unfinished.”

  The End
