headed for debtor’ prison. Hurry, make love to me quickly before
they come to take me away.” He
made a playful grab at her, which she skillfully deflected.
“Seriously John, I know nothing of
our finances. Will it put us in a
financial bind if I go shopping for a new wardrobe?” It was obvious that she was uncomfortable questioning him
about their finances.
“Eirian, do not worry your pretty
head about it. We do not have
unlimited funds, but we are plenty comfortable to be able to buy what ever you
need or even what ever you want… within reason I should add.” He kissed her on
the nose and then asked, “So how about the sex thing? Are you feeling up to it?” he asked rubbing her belly.
Her
answer was to wrap her arms around his neck and pull him to her for a long and
sultry kiss.
The
shopping trip was a success. The
gowns were ordered along with matching bonnets, slippers, and gloves. The jewelry would wait until after John
had had time to collect his mother’s jewelry from his Uncle’s safe. She could look at what was there and
decide what she might need.
Eirian
returned home exhausted from all of the shopping and fittings. Aunt Sarah had been in her element
ordering and directing the shopkeepers who were more than delighted to be of
service in anyway as they always looked forward to attaining a new
customer. She really wanted to go
upstairs and rest for a while, but little John had just finished nursing and
was in a wonderful mood so she remained in the parlor to play with him for a
time. She once again got down on
the floor to play with him. John
walked in to the sound of both Eirian and little John laughing as they played
with each other. At that moment
his heart was so full of love for them both that it scared him. He knew that he had made the right
decision in marrying her. She was
a loving wife and a natural mother.
“Oh
look. There is your daddy little
man.” Baby John looked up and saw
his father reaching for him and gave his biggest belly laugh, which sent Eirian
and John both into laughter. John
took him in his arms and swung him around much to baby John’s delight. Settling him on his hip, he reached out
to assist Eirian to her feet.
“Well
little mother, I do not think you will be crawling around in the floor much
longer or we will need a hoist to raise you up.” As soon as the words were out of his mouth he wanted to put
them back in. He was terribly
afraid he had hurt her feelings. He did not have to worry however as he was rewarded with a solid punch
to his arm and then a rib tickling that sent him squirming away. As large as she was, Eirian was
surprisingly agile and managed to stay out of John’s reach as he tried to retaliate
in kind.

John
had developed a routine of awaking up about six o’clock, dressing, breaking his
fast and then spending time with Eirian and baby John. The baby, having just been fed, was at
his most sociable. He would then
pay a visit to the older children, who had arrived in London a few weeks after
their parents, in the nursery. It
was a great way to start his day before he had to go to the law firm run by
Uncle William. He was well trained
in his field, but he found the routine just did not satisfy him. His job consisted mainly of drawing up
contracts or examining ones presented to him. It was dry and he far preferred the routine of running his
country estate. He did however
realize that it was his turn to pay his dues and to contribute to the family
business.
This
morning had been different. Usually Eirian left the bed at the same time that he did. They would
share a few minutes over breakfast, but this morning she was so tired that he
