you so much,” he said in a low voice as his cock slipped out of her. He lay next to her and draped an arm over her. “ I love you too,” she said in a whisper.
Chapter 7 Over the next few months, Julie came to fully understand what the book ‘What To Expect When Expecting’ was all about. Everything Dana and Meg had told her to expect was totally off. It was like two different sides of a coin. She was always waiting for mood swings but as it turned out, she was always jovial and in the mood for nachos and maybe some pizza every so often. And even though she was almost always excited about work, Dana and Steven had tried as much as they could to get her to slow down but she was like a fire – insatiable and Steven hated the fact that she was working herself this much. But to Julie, she needed to work. It was all she could do to make sure her head actually remained on her shoulders. On one Tuesday morning while driving back to the office from work, she felt a cramp in her lower abdomen. She took a long deep breath and pulled her car over to the side of the road. She took a series of long deep breaths just as Dr. Solloway had advised. But all the while she could not help but wonder why she was cramping. “ Maybe this is just some kind of sign that I should actually take a break,” she thought as she felt the pain subsiding. She took another deep breath and looked around. “Maybe I should just call it a day and go home,” she thought as she looked around. She could almost hear Steven’s voice echoing in her head. She grabbed her water bottle and took a long sip. She was still drinking from her bottle when her phone rang. She reached for it and looked at the screen. It was Dana. “ Perfect timing. I can tell her that I am planning on taking the rest of the day off,” she thought as she answered the phone . “Hey D,” she said when she picked up. “ Hi Julie. Are you done with the Westside open house yet?” Dana asked. “ Actually yes. I am on my way back,” Julie said. “ Great. I thought we could do lunch,” Dana said. Julie raised an eyebrow. “Why?” “ Well, I just want to have lunch with my friend. It’s been a while, remember?” Dana said. “We could eat at Galileo,” Dana said in a suggestive tone. Julie sighed as a smile played on her lips. She loved the Teriyaki chicken served at Galileo. It was almost like Dana was desperately trying to get her to go to Galileo at any cost. Maybe that is just what she needed. Some overpriced food that someone else was paying for. “And in a few weeks we will no longer have these impromptu lunch dates and I need to vent about my husband.” “ Fine. Give me ten minutes,” she smiled. “ Great. See you then,” Dana said before she hung up. Julie took a few more deep breaths wondering if she was going to get another cramp. But after a few minutes, she figured that it was a onetime thing. She slowly got her car back on the road and switched on the radio. “ Today is just my lucky day,” she thought as she heard one of her favorite songs playing. “First my boss offers me overpriced food and now…” her trail of thought got lost in the moment as she let Fun’s Some Nights reel her in. “ This is it boys, this is war…what are waiting for…why don’t you break the rules already…I was *something, something* the hype…Save that for the black and white…” she was feeling on top of the world. The short ten minute ride to Galileo was actually shorter than she hoped for with the radio playing all the hit songs she liked. She wasn’t sure she wanted to hand her keys to the valet. Counting stars was playing in her head as she walked into the restaurant. She had been feeling a little heavier in the past few weeks and finding what to wear to work was getting harder every single day. She looked around the restaurant and spotted Dana waving at her from one corner of the room. She smiled and walked towards Dana, a tired smile on her
