as
she stood there invitingly, wearing only her bedroom yes and the silk
nightgown she had bought for their honeymoon. She still looked as
good as ever in it; even better now with her brown hair longer than
it was then, falling over her shoulders like a waterfall. Joe felt
suddenly like it was his honeymoon all over again. He had all the
excitement, anticipation, and desire he had that first night. Mary
didn’t have to speak a word. Not with her lips anyway; her eyes
were doing all the talking, and Joe heard every word, loud and clear.
    Joe walked toward the
bedroom and into Mary’s arms, though it seemed more like he was
walking into her love. It was as if there was only one body, a
combination of them both, walking toward the bed. Being with Mary was
always special, but for some reason tonight felt extra special. There
was no reason for it to be, but it was. Mary had been in an
exceptional state of mind since he came home. She was always
terrific, warm, and loving, but tonight stood out somehow. Like their
first night together, yet even more.
    Joe could hardly tell
when they reached the bed, he was already lost in her passion.
Tonight Mary seemed to want Joe for her pleasure as well as his, not
only just for his benefit. Joe certainly noticed the difference and
was overwhelmed by it. He could think of nothing but her as they
rolled in the throes of passion like he had never known. It was
magic, cosmic, almost spiritual, and must have lasted for hours. Then
after what seemed like an eternity, the moment of mutual climax
arrived.
    Suddenly magic happened
and they both knew it. Without saying a word, they looked into the
other’s eyes. They didn’t say a word, but just stared at each
other, totally amazed by what they were feeling. They both knew, but
didn’t speak a word.
    The next day was Joe’s
day off so he and Mary spent the day together at home. Mary worked in
the little garden she had planted in the backyard and Joe mowed the
grass and raked the fallen leaves. They didn’t talk about the night
before, but rather spent the day enjoying a feeling of fulfillment.
They were almost afraid to talk about it for fear the feeling might
fade away. So they just went on with their normal routine enjoying
their time together.
    In the weeks that
followed, Joe’s positive outlook helped him sell several new
insurance policies, and he was even getting along with Mickey better
than ever. The old Chevy still needed the occasional coaxing, but Joe
didn’t mind so much. For a change, life seemed good to Joe, and
Mary had a glow about her he had never seen before. He was more in
love with her than ever.
    Several weeks went by.
When he pulled into the drive, Mary was waiting for him. Mary always
waited for him at the door, but not today. Her eyes were as bright as
the beacon of a lighthouse. She seemed about to explode with joy as
she opened the car door and pulled Joe from his seat.
    “What is it, honey?”
he asked.
    “I’m going to have
a baby—I mean, we’re going to have a baby! You’re going to be a father!” Mary
exclaimed bursting with joy.
    “How? I mean I know how , but, how? The
doctor told us you could never get pregnant.”
    “I don’t know how,
and neither does the doctor. But I went to see him. He said that even
though he thought it was impossible, I’m going to have a baby! He
said he can’t explain it; he was sure I could never get pregnant,
but I am.”
    “Oh, honey!” Joe
exclaimed as he took her in his arms and held her close. “I’m
going to be a father. Imagine that—me, a father!”
    Mary smiled. “Come
on, daddy, I’ve got dinner ready.”
    “No honey, let me get
dinner. You shouldn’t be exerting yourself.” Joe said as he tried
to wait on Mary.
    “Don’t be silly,
honey. Come inside and sit down and let me get your dinner. If you
want to help me, don’t you worry. They’ll be plenty of time for
that in a few months.”
    As they entered the
house, Joe said, “Are you sure it’s all
