The Surprise

Douglas wound down his pro bono practice now that he had identified a sufficient number of candidates. The next day, he got a call that the defense side had lost a major motion in their largest national class action case. This was the case that would set him up for life. But it'd be hard work to get ready for trial, which had been set 8 months from now. Grueling, taxing work. Work that would keep him away from fair Elizabeth, and let her wander.

He got home and had a nice meal with Elizabeth, although she abstained from wine. They were both in a celebratory mood, and they talked about the case. Her lips pursed when they talked about all the work that would go into it.

"There is something else to celebrate, darling," she said, looking at him. "I'm pregnant again." Douglas went across the table, kissing her soundly.

"That is fantastic darling. Maybe in eight months we can retire. We have Consuela here to keep the house in good shape. And Faith can babysit." Elizabeth sighed. She was hoping Douglas would give the case up. The interracial porn and black toy had seeped into her completely by now. And she was hankering to give up the toy for the real thing. She needed her husband with her to keep her on the straight and narrow.

For Douglas's part, he wanted her to go off the deep end. Hmm. Eight months of having to work and ignore her while the trial happened. Eight months of that baby growing inside her, and Elizabeth was very horny while she was pregnant. Maybe ... they had eight months of marriage left.
