After twelve long days I finally decided to get out of the house for a little while. Well at least that's what I told Michael. I hated to lie to him but I can't wait for the doctor to test me in a few days.

Yesterday after dinner I went to take a bubble bath and when I took my bra off my breast felt like two bags of rocks. They hurt so bad and were so hard.

My first stop of the beautiful Saturday was the nail salon. I was ready for a little mani-pedi. Brie met me for lunch at our favorite Mexican restaurant. Then we went to the mall for a little shopping. I made it to Wal-Mart to get the test. I bought three different test. One simple test, one five days sooner digital double pack, and a five days sooner test.

Michael was waiting for me in the living room when I returned to the ranch. He let me know dinner was waiting for me. I told him to let me put my bags up and freshen up.

Upstairs I debated on whether to take the test now or wait until after dinner. I hide the tests in my panty drawer for later.

At dinner I drank two glasses of juice to make sure I needed to pee later. Michael watched me eat and commented on the time it took me to eat. I scoffed the food down like I was starving. He seemed amused.

After dinner Michael asked me if I wanted to take a walk around the ranch. I told him to give me fifteen minutes. I ran upstairs to pee on a couple of sticks. I read the instructions for the digital test and the five days sooner test very carefully. Then I took both test.

Time slowed down. I paced from the sink to the bed to the dresser mirror and back to the bathroom. I snuck a look at the digital test but all I saw was a flashing hour glass. I checked my phone for the time. I was literally shaking. Time was up. The regular test was first. The box said two lines meant pregnant. The test showed one dark red line by the T and a light pink line by the C. So the positive line was dam near red. Then the digital test read a simple word: PREGNANT.

I was so excited. I don't know why but I was overjoyed. I slid the test in my pocket and went to meet Michael on the back porch.

I was smiling so big but I didn't want to ruin the surprise. He greeted me with a boyish laugh and told me I looked radiant.
We walked the grounds and watched the animals. I asked him if he could take me to his favorite spot on ranch.

Again he took me to the bench where we gazed at the stars a few weeks ago. We sat and he looked up at the stars. I got nervous.

I said "I have something to tell you but I'm not sure how your going to take it."

He looked at me and I seen fear in his eyes. I was scared that he would be upset with me for taking a test.

I cleared my throat and said "I didn't go out just for retail therapy. I made a decision to do something you might not like."

His eye brows went up and I handed him the test out of my pocket. He studied it for a minute but said nothing.

I said "Are you mad?"

He stood up and pulled me up too. He hugged me real tight and said "I'm ecstatic. Thank you thank you thank you!"

I laughed at his excitement. He stepped away from me and said "I have waited for this for so long, I was starting to wonder if I would ever have a child of my own."

I seen a tear drop from his eye that started to run down his cheek. I wiped it away with my thumb. He leaned down right as I was looking up and his lips brushed my bottom lip. He froze. I froze. My heart starting beating fast.

He said "I'm sorry. I meant to kiss your forehead."

I leaned in to him and he hugged me tight. I laid my head on his chest only to find his heart beating as fast as mine. Something took over my rational thinking and I looked up at his beautiful eyes. I kissed his lips. A peck at first then when he parted his lips the kiss got more intense. He tasted like peppermint and his lips were so soft.
I felt a warmth deep down inside of me and goose bumps prickled me skin.

Finally I pulled away. I was embarrassed. I shouldn't have acted on a whim. He looked into my eyes and smiled. He said "Wow I will never forget this night."

I blushed a little. He grabbed my hand and we started walking back to the house.

He walked me to my suite but just stood at my door. I opened it up wider for him to enter but he shook his head and said "I better not. I might not be able to control myself."

My heart fluttered but my mind was saying maybe that's best. I said goodnight and closed the door.

After my bath I laid in the bed and tried to sleep. I turned on the tv, tried to read a book, and when that failed I started counting sheep. My phone lit up. I had a text message from Michael.

I can't sleep.

I texted back quickly.

Me either. Come here.

I waited for a reply but nothing came through. Ten minutes later the knock on the door came.

There he stood in his pajama pants and white tee with a small fruit tray. He came in and went straight to the bed.

We watched tv and ate some of the fruit. We laughed, talked, and finally he moved a little closer to me. I gave in. I kissed him again. This time with more passion. We kissed and felt on each other but soon I was ready for more. I began taking my shirt off and he stopped me. He said "Not yet. I want to court you first."

I was a little disappointed. We made out for a while then we snuggled together. That's how we fell asleep. Cuddle together. It felt so right.
