her
lips.
    “It’s amazing
princess, wow.” I kept the conversation light over dinner, asking her more
about life on tour and what she enjoyed most about her fame. As far as I could
tell she was more interested in the singing than anything else.
    “Um, Trace,
you weren’t serious about that ovulating thing were you?” I’d almost forgotten
about that, still wasn’t quite sure what had possessed me to think of it much
less say it. But now that she’d asked me outright…
    “As a matter
of fact I am. It’s crazy I know, and if one of my colleagues had come to me
with this story I would tell him he’s crazy. I have no explanation for it, the
reality is that from the moment I saw you up on that stage something inside me
shifted.”
    “I find myself
reverting back to childhood, to a time when I had to scrounge for every scrap I
wanted or needed. When I became successful, I promised myself that I’d never go
hungry again, and not just for food, but for any of those things I’d longed for
as a child, or anything my heart may desire as an adult.”
    “You’re the
first thing my heart’s ever desired. I’ve known wants before don’t get me
wrong, but this, this is different. This goes beyond my own comprehension. Like
I told you before, this past weekend was about getting to know each other and
I’ve gotten to know you.
    You wouldn’t
have come home with me had you not felt some of what I was feeling. I also know
that you’re more about hearth and home than the night life.” I didn’t tell her
that I knew that’s why she’d stayed with the asshole who ’d
ended up cheating on her. I’d done some research after she was less than
forthcoming about the reason for their split. It wasn’t a known fact as yet but
I had my ways of finding out things. I won’t tell her that I knew though; it
was her story to tell if and when she was ready. I did know that if I ever ran
into the little prick, I was gonna beat the crap out
of him for putting his hands on her though. It didn’t matter that I didn’t even
know her when it happened, it’s just the way I am, or at least it’s the way I
seem to be where she’s concerned.
    “But a baby? We
hardly even know each other.”
    “I don’t think
that whatever is going on here has anything to do with time and convention. Either
way, it’s nothing to worry about now. What’s done is done, and if it isn’t, I’m gonna make damn sure that it is. The only problem is
your upcoming tour, but I’m sure people have performed while pregnant before.”
    “Do you know
how crazy this all sounds?” I shrugged my shoulders at her. I thought it was
crazy too in the beginning so I couldn’t fault her for having her own doubts.
It was crazy when you looked at it, but it’s what I felt and well…
    “I’m sure
there have been people who got married after only one day of meeting or maybe
two. I’m even more sure that there are people who get
pregnant after just one meeting. Look at this way; at least we both know where
we stand. If the last few hours are anything to go by, we want each other more
than a little bit and the bottom line is princess. I want you, in my life, with
me, no matter what. So baby or no baby, you’ve met your future, so I suggest
you get used to the idea.”
    “What if I had
other plans?”
    “Like I said,
I’ve gotten to know you, and all that aside, this is what I want baby. As time
goes on you’ll find that I never let anything stand in my way, nothing and no
one. Dinner was delicious why don’t you go find us something to watch while I
clean up?”

    I guess the
conversation was over and what a strange one at that. I headed out of the
kitchen on wobbly legs for the TV room to find something to watch, though I
really didn’t have much interest.
    My mind was
awhirl with all the new things that were going on in my life. In the space of a
few short days, it seems my life had been turned upside down. I find
