Tombstone Estate

[Midori]

The conference was complete and the last of the guests had departed for home. Her kitchen was finally cleaned up with some help from some courteous guests and her home seemed to be normal again. Her husband, wanting to catch up on some research work, retired to his laboratory.

She was tired, very tired. Even in her fourth month of pregnancy, she continued to be the hard working busy body she always was. It wasn't her way to slow down. But, on this night, she dimmed most of the Estate lights and went to her bedroom where she stood before the mirror behind her dresser. Looking into it, she pulled the sticks from her hair and let it fall over her shoulders. She then shook her head slightly and ran her hands through it to put it where she wanted it. She removed the necklace from around her neck, the bracelets from her wrists and finally, her earrings. As she continued looking in her lighted mirror, she had forgotten about the wall mirror behind her, the one she used to see behind her while looking into her dresser mirror.
She turned to it and looked at herself. There it was. She hadn't really paid much attention to it as she never stopped each day. She placed her hands on her stomach and, as she looked in the mirror, saw that she could no longer hide her growing stomach in even loose kimonos to avoid attention. As she stood, she then released the rope belt that held her dress closed. She then released it, letting it slide off of her shoulders and onto the floor. She also removed her undergarments as her curiosity of herself grew.

She now stood completely naked, her hair flowing over her shoulders and down her back as she caressed the life growing within her, running her hand over the top of it and pressing in slightly. She also noticed the other changes about herself, her breasts seeming to be larger than before.
"Why I not notice this before," she asked herself only to answer her own question, "because I too busy."
She then turned to the side, her arms cradling the life growing within. She could only smile as a proud mother-to-be. Finally, she turned back. As she continued, the door to the room closed. He was trying to be quiet, thinking his wife was asleep.

He found her standing naked in the mirror. She knew he was there but didn't react, letting him come up behind her after he had hung his lab coat over the back of a chair. He stood behind her, his hands on her hips, sharing the same view she was.
"What are you looking at, Dahlin?" he asked.
She didn't really answer, unsure of what to say. For some reason, she didn't see herself as beautiful in her condition and didn't want to state the obvious. "I looking at our child," she answered softly.
He sensed her hesitation and held her close to him, his hands replacing hers at her stomach.

"Do you know what I see, Miss Sato?" he asked affectionately, "I see a very beautiful woman. A loving woman. A great wife and most importantly, my best friend."
She let her head fall into his chest, "You just saying that."
He looked down into her face and shook his head, "No, Dahlin'. It is what I see......every day."

She then turned to him and looked up into his eyes. She smiled softly, mesmerized by the man she loved. Still looking into his eyes, she whispered, "Love me, John Henry. Love me now. Love me tonight."
He said nothing and only nodded his head as they locked eyes. As they kissed, he soon found himself as naked as his wife. Shortly thereafter, they loved each other. They would wake the next morning facing each other, still naked and embraced.
