To Love a Wife

Eight

I sat on the couch as I started to get some things reserved for our announcement of my pregnancy. Bradley had to go back to work due to some dispute and he was the only one who could resolve it. Luckily, he was coming straight back here. After making all the reservations I needed to make, I walked upstairs to look at one of our guest rooms that was closest to the master bedroom. I stared at the room as I tried to imagine what to put there. 

"Tessa? I'm home!" I heard Bradley call out.

"I'm upstairs," I called back. 

Bradley came upstairs and walked up to me. He wrapped his arms around my waist before kissing my head.

"What are you doing?" He asked. 

"Imagining what I want for our baby's room," I answered.

"We have time for that."

"I know. I just need a break. I have been slightly stressed lately."

"You know stress is bad for you especially now. Why don't you hire an assistant?" 

"You know I don't feel comfortable with an assistant. I always feel like they don't do everything the way I like it."

"That's why you tell them. They learn overtime," Bradley told me.

"I'll consider getting one," I tell him before walking over to our bathroom. 

I turned on the faucet before adding some bubbles. The scent of lavender started to fill the air. I stripped off of my clothes before turning off the water and stepping in. This is what I needed for now. A relaxing moment to ease my mind. After the planning and checking up on my dresses, I needed a break.

"May I join you?" I looked over to see Bradley standing by the doorway.

"Of course."

Bradley stripped out of his clothes before joining me in the tub. I sat in between his legs before leaning back to his chest.

"This is nice," I sighed. Bradley placed his hands on my stomach before kissing my head. 

"I love you," Bradley told me.

"I love you too."

"With your fashion line coming up, are you going to be okay going?" Bradley asked me.

"Yeah. I need to be there and once I have an assistant, stuff will hopefully go by more smoothly."

"It will go smoothly. If you want, I'll let you borrow my assistant to help you hire yours," Bradley offered. 

"I'll take up on that offer."

"Plus, we could have more time together before the baby arrives," Bradley told me. I smiled up at Bradley before giving him a kiss.
