Tick tick tick

Christine was staring at the egg timer then back down to the floor as she silently prayed that the four pregnancy tests on her bathroom sink would be positive as she just wanted this to work, she wants to be able to get pregnant again and so far, nothing.

"I just want this to work, I need this to work because it's been along road to get to this point and please, please just work." Christine said out loud as John came in.

"Here babe, here's your tea." John said as Christine sipped it, it was a fertility tea a lady at one of the shops she went to from time to time gave to her to try as Christine told her all about her troubles as the conversation played back in her head.

"Try this darling." The lady said as Christine took the box.

"What is it?" Christine asked as she looked at the lady.

"You told me about you troubles and how hard it had been for you and your husband to get pregnant and this is a fertility issues and I do wish you the best because your little boy is so sweet every time you bring him in here." The lady said as Christine smiled weakly at the shop owner.

"I appreciate it but what if it doesn't work?" Christine questioned.

"It might work, you never know and just give it a try." The lady said as she patted Christine hand as Christine walked out to her car and drove home.

"What if nothing works, we've been trying for months and nothing works, we're both on edge all the time and sex is not something we enjoy anymore." Christine said as she started crying but she dried them because she knew John and Henry would be worried if they seen she was crying.

Christine walked into her house and found John and Henry snuggled up on the couch, watching a penguin documentary as she smiled at her boys as she went into the kitchen and poured water into the tea kettle when John walked into the kitchen and hugged her from behind.

"Did you find anything babe?" John asked her.

"No, a lot of old trinkets but nothing that struck my fancy." Christine said as John eyed the tin box.

"Tea?" John said.

"A lady gave it to me at the antique shop, just don't drink it." Christine said as John looked at her.

"Why?" John asked his wife.

"It's a fertility tea and she said it's supposed to help, which I doubt it." Christine said as John shook his head.

"You told her about our issues?" John asked calmly, he didn't like people prying into their personal lives.

"Honey, I needed to talk to someone other than my husband and son, don't get mad at me because I don't get to talk to all my girlfriends that often like you get to talk to Mick and the guys. I had to let it out because I'm tired just as much as you are because this whole process is straining us and I just needed to talk to someone, so please don't get upset at me." Christine said as John came up and started massaging her shoulders.

"I'm not mad or upset baby, I know this hasn't been easy but this will happen and whatever it takes for me to be able to put a baby inside of your beautiful body, I'll do anything and everything it takes for that to happen." John said as Christine turned around and kissed him.

"I love you so much my dear hubby." Christine said.

"I love you too my sweet wifey." John said as he kissed her lips feverishly.

John was in the middle of packing his suitcase for the tour when Christine came out of the bathroom to pack hers too as they had to leave later on that day as they were waiting on Henry's babysitter.

"What did the test say?" John asked her.

"It was negative, it's always negative." Christine said in sad voice.

"It'll be okay, we're getting closer." John said as he kissed her cheek.

"You know, I read somewhere that new places and new experiences can increase fertility and I'm willing to try anything." John said as Christine smiled.

"I just want us to be happy and honey, if it takes us a long time to conceive then we'll keep trying and we'll have plenty of time for each other and I'll make sure of that." John said as he kissed Christine's cheek.

"I love you so much baby and I want you." Christine said.

"We have a couple of hours." John said as he caressed her inner thigh and kissed her neck.

Christine crawled on top of him as he took off her jacket and Christine bucked herself up against his groin while wildly rolling her hips.

"Make love to me baby, I need you." Christine said as John sat up to hurriedly take off his clothes as Christine did the same thing as John pulled her back on top of him as he covered her backside up with the comforter.

They made love to each other as Christine was enjoying the fact that she could still give her husband the same effect that she did the first time they had sex, even though they were older, it was still a thrilling experience to know that John loved her body and was willing to go through this journey with her.

"I love you more than anything in this world, songbird." John said as he kissed her.

"I love you too baby." Christine said as she snuggled up to him but she knew the band would be here soon as she went to get up but John stopped her.

"Stay here with me." John said as he admired her backside.

"We can't baby, the band will be here at any time and I don't want anyone barging in here like last time." Christine said as she felt that stirring again, but had to ignore it.

"Mhmm... That was a great day songbird." John said as he sat up behind her as he started kissing her neck as he heard her moan.

"You are so naughty that you're willing to get caught with your hand in the cookie jar." Christine said as she saw the naughty glint in her husband's eyes.

"I wouldn't mind getting caught because I know something sweeter than cookies I can eat." John said as Christine tried to fight off the stirring again but John sat on his knees in front of her as he kissed her thighs and his eyes roamed over her long, tanned legs.

Christine laid back as John kissed her thighs as her moans were music to his ears, he wanted to hear her and taste her as he kissed her clit as her hands gripped the back of his head as he licked her up, tasting the primal honey from earlier as he licked his fingers and got on top of her, she put her hands on his chest.

"I love you my beautiful wifey." John said.

"I love you too my handsome hubby." Christine said as John's fingers eased inside of her as she started crying out in primal bliss.

"Fuck, keep going. It feels sooo good." Christine purred as she felt like she was on cloud nine.

"I love hearing you baby, I love when you tell me to shag you senseless when you're in the mood and how your nails dig in my shoulders, my scalp and how your voice goes an octave higher, it's a turn on my beautiful songbird." John said as Christine moaned.

"I want you inside of me again, but get behind me baby and let us both feel better." Christine said as this position gave him access to every part of her body as John got behind her.

"God, I love you." John said as he rubbed her backside as Christine was impatient.

"I love you too and I want your hands all over me, I need your loving." Christine said as John held her breasts in his hands.

"God, I love your boobs and this ass, mhmm... so perfect for spanking." John said as Christine groaned.

"Spank me please, I want you all over my body and I can't wait till the tour because I'm going to be all over you." Christine said as John smiled.

"Every tour we've ever been on, you're all over me and I don't mind a bit because I get to show you off and I'm so proud of you." John said.

"Don't be surprised if we have a few noise complaints because this tour is going to be a wild one." Christine said as John lightly smacked her bum.

"Oh songbird, I can't wait to see you on that stage, I love when you do your little dances because I am the only one who gets to see you and hear your voice when we're alone." John said as he rubbed her hips.

"I love when you get like this and don't worry baby, you are the only one who can make me come and give me the ultimate pleasure of an orgasm." Christine said as they heard the doorbell.

"Shit, they are here." John said.

"They can wait, fuck me good and hard." Christine said as John ran his shaft up and down and eased himself inside of her as he had to muffle her voice with his hand.

"Oh god yes baby, fuck yes yes yes." Christine moaned into his hand.

John went harder and faster as the headboard slammed against the wall and their bed springs squeaked out and Christine was daring anyone to walk in as she rolled him over onto her back and bounced on top of him.

"As soon as we step off that plane, your arse is mine even I have to tie you to the bed and fuck you senseless." Christine said as John beaming his bright smile as he knew Christine's orgasm was coming as her hands gripped the bit of chest hair on his chest as she rode out her orgasm as her face blushed and the glint of primal arousal made her glow.

"John, Chris. You up there?" Lindsey asked.

"You know they are and I'm not about to go up there again." Stevie said.

"Why not?" Mick asked.

"Because she's ovulating and those two are relentless when it comes to making babies." Stevie said.

"Let them have their fun because imagine another little baby McVie running around." Mick gushed about his friends having another baby and was rooting for them.

"Hopefully, this will happen because they deserve to be happy." Lindsey said.

A few minutes later, both John and Christine came downstairs with their luggage as Stevie smiled at her friends.

"Hello love." Christine said with a glowing smile as she hugged Stevie.

"Let me guess, you were getting it on before we got here." Stevie whispered in her best friend's ear.

"We were, twice this morning." Christine said as Henry's babysitter carried Henry over to her.

"Bye baby, I'll see you real soon and be good for Isabella and I don't want to go but you'll be with us real soon." Christine said as she held her son real close to her as Henry gave her a gummy smile.

"We'll call when we get to the hotel and I love you buddy, be good and daddy will bring you so many toys when we get home." John said as Christine hated this, she wanted to stay home with her son.

"His schedule is on the fridge and all the emergency phone numbers are there and everything you need." Christine said.

"We'll be fine, won't we buddy?" Isabella said as Henry smiled at her.

"I know you will, it's just been so hard for me to leave him, maybe after this tour, I'll retire because I'm hoping to be pregnant again soon and I want to be home with my babies and be a normal human with a normal life." Christine said.

"Aww... Another baby McVie running around, you deserve this Christine and I pray that all your dreams come true." Isabella said as Christine smiled.

"Thank you and I love that you love my son as your own and if you ever need anything, don't hesitate to ask me." Christine said.

"You helped me get a job right out of college and babysit for you whenever you're on the road and that's more than enough for me." Isabella said as Henry put his hand on Christine's cheek.

"Well, we all have to find our purpose somewhere. Mine happens to be two places at once, I'm a mum and wife here and when I'm out on the road, I'm a member of this band when I'd rather be home with my husband and my son and hopefully soon, if it happens, having another baby to grow and love." Christine said.

"I know it will happen." Isabella said as John came and stood by Christine.

"It's time to go honey." John said as he kissed his son's head.

"I know, I know." Christine said sadly as she placed Henry back into Isabella's arms as she wrapped her arms around Isabella.

"I'll bring him to wherever you're playing close by when you let me know." Isabella said as Christine's eyes reared up.

"Thank you." Christine said as she sighed as she walked out of her home as she heard Henry mumbling as she tried not to cry but this was hard, why did this always have to be this way? She wanted to stay home but of course, the band couldn't wait.

She got in and stayed far enough away from everyone so she could have her time to herself as the driver pulled away as she seen Isabella showing Henry how to say goodbye as Christine waved goodbye as their distance got further away and the tears came rolling and the silent sobs came.

"Honey?" John whispered as Christine stared into space out the window, looking at the trees whirring by.

"Leave me alone." Christine said as John knew how much she missed their son already as she closed her eyes, at least she could dream of where her life with her husband and son was perfect.

They got to airport and boarded the plane as a fear of flying suddenly overtook the tired pianist as she knew this would be her last tour.

"I'll be home soon, my sweet boy and mummy will be there for everything." Christine said to herself.
...

After they landed off the plane, John and Christine went to their hotel room as she called Isabella which was very short because she could hear her babysitter and friend yawning after telling Christine she had already put her son to bed as Christine let her go.

"I'm going to bed, you can do what you want but I don't feel like doing anything besides sleeping." Christine said.

"Are you okay babe?" John asked, this was treading lightly.

"Seriously? You think any of this is okay for me anymore?" Christine said to her husband.

"We had no way out this and I wish we could have said no but everything is going to be okay." John said.

"Not for me! I want to be home with our son and this was not how I planned things. When I found out I was pregnant with him, I didn't want this life anymore because I want our son to know who we are and now, I have to leave all the time when it benefits you all when I'd rather be home with him. I don't want to do this anymore or is that just going one ear and out the other?" Christine screamed in anger.

"Honey, calm down please?" John asked, trying not to risk a noise complaint as Christine was furious.

"Calm down, oh you want me to calm down. You seem perfectly fine with all of this shit but I'm not John!" Christine screamed again.

"I'm not honey, but what was I to do? The album is done and everything is booked. I can't back out and neither can you." John said.

"It seems like this is all you want anymore, the band and all the money you could make instead of a home, me and our child and future children. You never think of us anymore and I'm so glad that you put your own selfish needs ahead of us before you think about how much this is affecting our child and me. I can't even get pregnant and now, who knows if it will ever happen again!" Christine said as she slammed the bathroom door as John ran his fingers through his hair.

Christine was heartbroken, this journey was causing nothing but fights and leaving Henry was stressful because Christine didn't want to leave him and now, this journey to get pregnant again was killing them both inside and out.

She sat on the floor and cried her eyes out, thinking of their son, their future, this long awaited journey and everything that was destined to either make them come closer to one another as a married couple or destroy them all together.

"Honey, please open the door." John said as he was crying too.

"Can you just leave me alone, please?" Christine questioned as the tears came.

"Honey, I know how hard this is and it's my fault that you can't get pregnant, not yours and none of this your fault." John said, this was a very trying and embarrassing process because he wanted this baby too.

Christine opened the door and fell into her husband's warm embrace as they fell to the floor and hugged each other tight as they both cried.

"I love you so much Christine and this isn't the end of anything, it's a long journey but I'll go through hell and back just to make you happy again. I don't care about the tour or the money, that not what makes me happy, they do care but I just want the woman I love more than anything else in the world beside our son, to be happy and as long as we're together, that's all I care about and if this journey is long, then I'll do anything to make sure we come out in the end, happy and healthy." John said as Christine kissed him and John wiped her tears as she wiped his.

"I'm so sorry I screamed at you, this journey is the hardest thing we've endured in a long time and you don't deserve this or me. You deserve someone who could make you happy and give you all the love and children that you want to give love to." Christine said as John cuddled her.

"I don't want anyone else, Christine you are everything to me and don't think for a single second that I want anyone else, you are the love of my life, my heart and soul to everything I do and I want everything that comes with this and it's going to be hard honey, but as long as I have you by my side then nothing else matters. I love you more than life songbird and I'm happy to have you as my wife." John said as Christine hugged and kissed him.

"I love you too John, we're in this together." Christine said.

"For however long it takes to make this happen, we could just have sex for fun and if we happen to make a baby, then we'll just make it happen." John said.

"Make love to me baby." Christine said.

"My pleasure baby doll." John said as Christine laughed.

"I love you so much." John said.

"I love you so much too." Christine said.
