The August sun glared in her eyes as she watched Ryan from the fence. It wasn't yet the end of the season and there were still five more corn fields to be harvested, but she was ready for him to be finished with this one. Because after this one, Becca was pulling him inside to pay attention to her for a bit.

It was insane, but she just needed him to touch her. He'd been out there for the majority of the day. She had been watching him for the majority of the day as well. And all sudden like, she just got this urge to be touched.Eight hours of watching Ryan harvest the corn and she wanted him.

Crazy. Most days she just went about her business of keeping up the house and writing. Most days he was the one who'd come in and want nothing more than to get a shower with her. Today though, she just wanted to pull him off the tractor and throw him down right there.

Only it wasn't about sex.She simply wanted Ryan to touch her. To hold her in his arms, to stroke her face, to run his hands down her arms. Slide his fingers across the small of her back, oh that was her favorite.

She jumped off the fence and headed back to the house, the need to be touched being overwhelmed by the need to pee. Up the stairs and through the front door to the bathroom. Shut the door, do her business, wash her hands.Back out the bathroom door, scream. “Ryan! You scared me.”

“Well I saw you sitting on the fence, thought you might need something.”

“Kinda, but it's not real important. It can wait till you're done.”

“Check outside babe, I'm done. Watcha need?” he asked stroking her cheek.

“That, that right there,” she said, electricity running though her.

They had dated for five years before getting married a couple of years ago and his touch still made her feel like it did the first time. She checked outside,the field half harvested and thought of the sight he must have seen with her sitting on the fence like that. Cut off blue jean shorts and her favorite white tank top that showed not only her flat tummy, but a great view of her breasts as well; with her fingers running up and down her legs, along the edge of her shorts, her shirt. No wonder he'd come running in.

“You ok baby?”

A look of concern crossed his face, and she laughed. “I'm fabulous. Come on.” She pulled him towards the stairs up to their room. “It's time for a break.”

It started exactly how she wanted; touching, kissing, holding. But God if that wasn't the best sex they'd had in ages, it was rough and tender all at the same time.Fast and slow, soft kisses and hard bites.

Five weeks later and she looked at the test again.

Pregnant.

No way.

“You sure?”

“Three times. Same result.”

“Wow.”

“We're gonna have a baby?”

“Yeah, looks like.”

“We're gonna have a baby.”

“Yeah.”

“We gotta call your mom.My mom. When?”

“Ummm,” she counted on her fingers, “April.”

“Wow.”

“Yeah.”

“A baby.”

“Yeah.”

* * *

Five months later and she looked like she had a balloon stuck up her shirt.

“You do not.”

“Ryan. You trying to make me feel better, not working.”

He pulled her into a hug,“You look beautiful. Both of you.”

“All your fault.”

“Think you might have had something to do with it.”

“Not as much as you.”

“You're very funny when you're grumpy.”

“Still mad at you.”

“I love you too baby.”

“Good. Go get me some ice cream. And nachos, with jalapeños.”

“You don't like peppers.”

“No, but I want some.They have some at the 7-11. Go.”

“You realize that it's snowing out there?”

“Shouldn't have knocked me up, then,” she smiled at him and shooed him out the door.

* * *

April, and the sun was shinning.

“Are you sure?”

“Ryan. What do you think?”

“Alright, to the hospital.”

Becca watched as Ryan scrambled around the house trying to get everything, and tried not to laugh. She picked up the bag that had been sitting by the door for the last month, and started making her way to car. She flipped open the cell phone and pressed one.

“Mom? Yeah, We're gonna be heading that way as soon as Ryan realizes I'm in the car. Yes,he's running around like chicken with its head cut off. It's actually very funny. Oh!” She tried to breathe her way through the contraction. “Yes, Mom, I'm fine. About four minutes? Mom, by the time they get to three minutes, Ryan will just be getting to the car.They've been getting closer for the last few hours. Ok, we'll see you at the hospital. Call Ryan's mom, let her know. I love you too.”

She waited for fifteen more minutes before honking the horn.

The August sun glared in her eyes, and Becca reached over and adjusted the little hat on Ben's head. “That better?” she asked the baby in her arms. “You like watching your daddy work, don't you?” The big machine roared by again. “Yeah, I do too.” She looked at her watch and turned back towards the house. “Time for someone to be getting a nap.” She watched as his little head dropped on her chest, his eyes closed. She made her way into the house, and laid Ben down in the playpen. She went to the bathroom to clean the drool off of her shirt. Coming out of the bathroom, she almost screamed.

“Hey baby.”

“Ryan! Are you trying to scare me?”

“No. Just feelin' a little frisky.”

“You remember what happened the last time, right? He's asleep in the living room.”

“Doesn't every kid deserve a sibling, or two?”

“You think you're going to talk me into something.”

“Not at all,” he said running his fingers up and down her arms. “At least not yet.”

“You are evil.”

“Yeah.” He pulled her closer, hands roaming across her back. “You like me that way,remember?”

“Oh yeah.” She kissed him.

ETA: sorry for mucking things up there for a bit. It's really early.
