Delayed Justice

  She giggled with delight. “I’m doing great, my handsome husband.”

  “How is my son doing, dear?” he asked.

  “He’s kicking just fine.”

  He let out a warm chuckle, rubbing her swollen belly. He kissed her throat, then coming back up to claim her lips again. “I think I should have at least waited a few more months before I got you pregnant,” he said musingly.

  “Why?” she asked.

  “I don’t know, I just sometimes think it would have been the proper thing to do. Maybe waited until after the election to see if I’m going to be employed or not.”

  “Oh, you silly man, of course you’re going to be employed, I have no doubt about that. The people in this town adore you, and after what Sargeni did, I don’t think the town wants a vigilante sheriff.”

  Makeeta got up and looked lovingly at Sami. “Shower time.” He kissed her again and then went into the bathroom. Sami laid there basking in the pleasure of it all.

  I better get up so we can go cast our votes. She slowly got to her feet, feeling her belly where the baby kicked. She took off her gown and went into the bathroom to step into the shower with Makeeta. Steam escaped the shower as she opened the shower door and stepped into his loving arms. Well, maybe the voting will have to wait for a little while.
