everything. I shouldn’t have left and should have just talked to her. I’m
learning from my mistakes.”
Wayne
ran his fingers through his hair as he looked out of his study window.
    “As long as you’re
going to fix it. I love you like a brother. I don’t want you to be in
any kind of pain. You or Tony. We’re all a family with
our wives.”
    “I can’t wait until that smug bastard has
kids,”
Wayne
said, remembering the gloating look
Tony had had when
Wayne
went a little insane after learning about Lily’s pregnancy. At the time she’d
been terrified, and he didn’t want to scare her. He’d kept all the fear
tightened down. Maybe that was what they needed to do. Spend some time opening
up about their fears. He filed the thought away for thinking about later.
    “Even though I know it will be with my sister,
I’d love to see the panic within him. He’ll be older than us when his first is
born.”
    Wayne
spent another few minutes talking with his
friend catching up on other facts. Once they were done, he hung up and went
into the kitchen. He knew how to cook the bare essentials, bacon, eggs and
toast, but with a lot of stuff Lily did it better. Anyway, he’d make the effort
to do something special for her.
    He put a couple of pans on the oven top then
went to get the ingredients he needed to make her an omelette. Not a very
romantic breakfast, but at least it was the one thing he knew how to cook.
    After he heated the pans he grabbed the eggs
and began making the omelettes. When they went under the grill he grabbed a
couple of plates. He leaned under a counter and pulled out a booklet.
    Frowning, he turned it over. It looked like a
scrapbook, something similar to what a child would make. He flipped it over and
saw a family photo of their family.
Wayne
smiled. There were a few decorations on the front page. All of them were
personal and to make it look pretty.
    He opened the page and took a seat at the
counter. It was a book of memories. Every point within her culinary life, Lily
had documented. He chuckled when he saw one of the curries she’d made. Beside
the picture of the curry was a warning about the horrid taste. There were
several pictures of them and then a section on morning sickness.
    It was part of their life in a large book. He
saw where she’d glued another book underneath.
    “Wow,
please don’t feed me this,” Lily said, pulling the frying pans out of the
grill. The omelettes on top were black. He’d been oblivious to the passing of
time.
    “Sorry,”
he said.
    “I found
this.”
    She stood
next to him.
    “I didn’t
know you were doing something like this.” He closed the book running a hand
over the cover.
    “I’m a big
believer in documenting every new part of our life.”
    He reached
for her pulling her close.
Wayne
inhaled her scent and knew their life was going to be okay.
     
     

Chapter Nine
     
    Over the
next week
Wayne
kept to his word. He refused to take any business calls. Anything that could be
handled by someone else was passed along. Lily loved having him all to herself.
When they were together the twelve years that had passed melted away. He took
her to lunch to take time out of shopping. When they weren’t shopping or
wrapping presents Lily was baking in the kitchen.
Wayne
spent a great deal of time on
decorations. He purchased more lights, and at night she saw how awful he was at
working on a straight line. She made mince pies and cookies. Several nights
carol singers came ‘round to the house. They’d left the gate open to allow the
freedom of festivities.
Wayne
warned about the dangers.
    He took
her to the jewellers to have her ring size tested. Lily refused. She didn’t
need another ring. He’d promised to owe her a favour if she agreed to do this
for him.
    “A
favour?” she asked.
    “Yes, I’ll
give you anything you want.”
    She smiled
recalling all the dirty thoughts that had rushed through her mind at the time.
Lily topped the last of the mince
