*Alex* 

I wake up. I look at the clock. 

7:23

Great. I have an hour before I have to leave for work. My eyes wander to the sleeping man next to me. I watch his chest rise and fall slowly. 

It's about the time that I get up to get ready for work. I try to slide out of bed without waking up Thomas. I fail miserably. 

"Mhphm, Why did you leave? Now I'm cold." He scared me so much I fell out of the bed and onto the floor. 

"I need to get ready for work," I say staggering to stand up. 
"Mmm, What time is it?"
"Um, 7:31." 
"Dang. I need to get ready too." 
"Okay, but I call the first shower!" I say as I  start running to the bathroom. I hear Thomas leap out of bed and run after to me through our house. 

"No, you don't!" He says as he grabs my wrist and pulls me back. 
"Dang it. You got me. " I look up at him with an innocent smile. 
"Mhm..." He trails off. 
"What on your mind?" 
"Mhm? Oh well, I was just thinking..." 
"Oh boy!?" 
"Well... what if we skipped work today?" 
"Thomas we have 'skipped' work for a month now. We have to go."  I said stressing the 'have to'. 
"Oh come on! We could call one of our sick days and have some fun! " 
"Thomas we had fun for a month." 
"Buzzkill." I laugh. 
"We have to make money somehow." 
"I guess." He smiles. 

Thomas is exactly what he wanted to be. He is Police Officer. He doesn't do much field work right now though, but he does occasionally. I, on the other hand, I work as a secretary of treasury. But I have a law firm that has a few clients. 

*The time oh where oh where did it go?*

Couple of Blehs

FranceBoi- How does dinner out tonight sound? 

Non-Stop- Sounds great! Work sucks. 

FranceBoi- What happened?

Non-Stop- Some new idiot as secretary of state is being an idiot. He looks like you

FranceBoi- Haha very funny, I'm not an idiot 

Non-Stop- No he really does look like you. 

FranceBoi- Weird

Non-Stop- No kidding 

FranceBoi- Well, I'll see you at home ;)

Non-Stop- Yeah sure okay then 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Just then the new guy walks up. 

"Who you textin Hamilton?" 
"That is your business because?"
"Just curious." 
"If you must know, it's my husband." 
"Um, you're a guy? You mean wife?" 
"No. I mean husband. You have a problem?" I say still looking at my phone. 
"Um, yeah. That's not right." 
"Well, I guess its good your not me, right?!" I say annoyed and mad. 
"Whatever. I have my own opinions, I'm just voicing them." 
"Well, unless you know what you're talking about don't voice uninformed opinions." I get up and pack my things. I am done with work for the day. I'm sure Washington will understand if I leave 30 minutes early. 
"Hey, where are you going?"
"Something called home." 
"Work isn't done!" 
"What are you going to do, tattle to Washington?" I say in a baby voice. I just get a glare in return. I walk out the door and to my car. I head to my law firm. That's when I get a call from Thomas. 

"Hey, babe!" 
"Hey, Tommy." 
"When you gonna be home?" 
"I'm just in on things at the firm and then I'll be there." 
"Okay then." 
"Is that all you called for?" 
"Um, No, I mean! Yes! See you later babe! BYE!" He suddenly cuts the call and hangs up. That was weird. Whatever.

After being at the firm for about an hour and a half, just doing paperwork, I think its time to go home. 

Non-Stop- On my way home 

FranceBoi- Great! See you then. Don't text and drive!

Non-Stop- I won't bye love.

FranceBoi-Bye Lexi.

"Alrighty," I mumble as I get in my car.

*Skippity Skip* 

I walk in and see Thomas sitting on the couch. Once he sees me in the room he jumps up and walks over to me. I sink into his hug. 

"Hey, Lexi." 
"Hey, Tommy.'" 
"So we have a reservation at the restaurant in an hour and a half, so you have time to sleep and get ready." 
"You've  thought of everything haven't you?" I say smirking and putting my arms around his waist. 

"That I have." He puts his arms around my waist and kisses me. 

"Mhm." I leave to go to our bedroom and get a short nap in. 

*1 hour later*

Ugh, that dang alarm. Thomas must have set it so I would wake up. Well, then I guess I should get ready. I lazily get up and head to the bathroom. I splash my face with water just to wake me up. When I walk to my closet, I see that I have nothing to wear. I start throwing out all my clothes. I then find my favorite light blue jeans. I know exactly what shirt to wear. I grab a light grey hoodie and slip it over my head. Now there is only one more thing I have to deal with. My hair. 

I brush through it then pull it back into a half up half down bun. After I am satisfied *he will never be satisfied. Haha, sorry I had to. Back to what you're here for* with how I look, I waltz into the living room to see Thomas standing by the door with a bouquet of zinnias. 

"Thomas.." 
"Hey Darlin'" He smiles. He must've gone out o get the flowers while I was asleep. 
"Shall we be on our way?" He asks gesturing to the door. I just nod. As I walk out he hands me the flowers. They were just like the ones from the date we had in college. 

We link arms and walk out of the door. 

"The restaurant isn't far, we could walk if you want. Watch the sunset?" 
"That would be amazing. " He nods in acknowledgment. We begin our walk. 

"So.." he starts. 
"Is there something on your mind Tommy?" 

*Thomas* 
Ever since thee walk began a lot has been on his mind. I tried to start up a conversation but then chickened out. 

"So..." Afer that I completely forgot my surroundings. But when Lexi said 'Tommy' it snapped me back to reality. 

"Is there something on your mind Tommy?" 
"Um, yeah there is. Well, one of the reasons I planned for tonight was so that  I could talk to you about something that  I've had on my mind for a while. Ever since we got married. " 
"Thomas, you can talk to me. Whats up?"
"Well um, dot gets mad but.." 
"Thomas, you're scaring me..." 
"Um, well.. um...I."
"Thomas?"
"I want to have kids." The words slurred out of my mouth before I had a chance to think. Lexi stopped walking, so I stopped too. 
"Lexi say something please." 
"Well, um, I mean, I want to have kids too, but-" 
"There's a but?" 
"Don't you think its a little early? I mean we have been married for what 3 months." 
"Yeah, I know, I didn't mean now, I just wanted to put it out there."
"Oh, okay. Well, I would love to have kids. Later when we are more financially stable." 
I nodded. I am so relieved that he didn't completely exclude the idea. I held his hand and starting swinging our arms. 

"So.. you have met a devilishly handsome man who looks like me at work?" 
"Yes...But now that I think about it you look so much better." He smirked. That da** smirk. 
"Mhm, that is so good to know." He laughs. 
"Yes, he wouldn't get the 'Poofy'." he starts to full out laugh. 
"Oh come on! I thought you forgot that!"
"OH NO! I will never forget that nickname. Poofy." I love his laugh. I let go of his hand and swing my arm around his shoulders.
"Alright, alright. Come on before we are late petite lion." 
"Okay." 
*Time skip. AFTER THE DINNER WE GO* 

*Alex*
My mind is racing. He wants kids. I want kids. But not now. Not now. He said he didn't want kids now, but,...

"Goodnight Lexi." Thomas brings me back to reality. We are lying in bed. I lay my head on his shoulder. 

"Goodnight Tommy." 
My mind slows down as I pay more attention to Thomas' breathing, and the calming feeling of Thomas' arm aaround him. 

Everything would be alright.
