It was the afternoon at the Buchanan house, the sun was blaring through the windows of the guest room. James was still fast asleep like it was still dark outside. He always slept for a long time. Work was always hard on him and it made him sleep most of his day away. Yesterday with Jenny kind of was the reason he was sleeping for so long today though. He didn't feel like moving a muscle. He was mad at himself still and knew Jenny probably wanted more time to herself. Birds started to tweet more and more as the minutes flew by which caused him to toss and turn a little. He peaked open an eye and looked around, scanning the room. He covered his face with the blanket and let out a drawn out sigh. " Stupid birds, " he mumbled to himself.
He sat up and his hair was sticking up in the back. He was still wearing his outfit from yesterday and it was all wrinkled from sleeping. He peaked outside, squinting his eyes some. The sun was blaring down on him as his eyes were still not use to being up. He shook his head and peaked at the door. He felt like just going back to sleep, wasting more of the day but, a bath was needed. He uncovered himself and slowly turned, his legs now off the bed. He let out a long sound as he stretched. He started to get up and slowly made his way to the door, opening it. He looked and saw Jenny's door closed, standing there. He wondered if she was awake or still asleep as well. He peaked down, replaying the memories from last night. That knot in his stomach came back as he started to think. " Good job, James. Good job. " He shook his head and made his way to a spare bathroom.
He walked in and ran some water from the sink, gently splashing it on his face so he would wake up. He turned to the bath and ran the water, brushing his hand against the water as he tried to find the right temperature to put it on.

Jenny had already woken up and was laying in her bed, staring out the window. She had spent about an hour doing that, but a servant came into the room wake her up. For it was time to eat due to she had slept through most of the day. Her blue eyes looked at the male servant who gave her a concerned look. She nodded, knowing that she needed to eat to keep herself healthy. So she slowly sat up and got out of the bed. She retied her robe around her, making it a bit tighter. Thankfully she had took a bath before James came home last night. So she didn't need to take one this morning. That way she could stay comfy in her long silky nightgown and lacey robe.
She walked out of her room and closed the door. And with the assistance of the servant walked to the dining area. They had cooked her a healthy little meal. She asked about James' meal and was told they'd be fixing it when he woke up, wanting him to have a hot meal. This made her nod. The servants had fixed her a nice, healthy salad. Which she ate slowly, it was good, but every time she ate a piece she felt like puking. And only did she have to puke, did she stop eating. Jenny quickly rushed to the bathroom, fell to her knees, and gagged into the toilet. This went on for ten minutes before it calmed down.
Once done she got up from the toilet, flushed it and then washed her hands. She slowly walked out of the bathroom and into the living room. Her servants asked if she wanted to eat more, but she held her hand up and shook her head. And normally her servants would push her, but the way she looked, they left her alone.
Jenny gently sat on the couch. She relaxed a little before scenes of yesterday flashed through her mind. This made tears well up inside, but she didn't have enough energy to cry. So she just let whatever tears that formed fall. All while she looked out a window one of the servants opened up for her to get air. Her expressionless as she did. The only time she even removed her gaze was when she heard a bath go off, making her look above her. James was awake and he was going to take a bath. This made her heart race and she got up, removed herself from the living room and retreated to their room.
Once there she felt herself relax a little. Thankfully she didn't feel any pain in her stomach with her hurrying like she did. But she knew she needed to sit down before she jinked herself. So just like yesterday, she sat in the love seat next to the window. The only difference there was, was that the window was open so she could have some air. But there she sat in the chair, relaxed and watched the birds fly. All while she showed no emotion as she was too numb to feel anything.

James messed with the water some more until he got it to a good temperature. He peaked at the door and walked to it, closing it but, leaving a small crack. He started to take off his shirt and laid it on the sink. His skin was scared by working on cars, some bruises here and there. He was a hard worker, it was no surprise that it left damage some. He started to unbutton his pants and slid them off including his underwear. He picked them up and laid them on the sink as well. His blue eyes peaked around the bathroom as he waited for the water to fill up a little more. His thought continued to scatter about his wife. From the noises downstairs, he knew she has been awake. Hopefully she wasn't angry that he slept so long. He sighed softly to himself and then gently stepped into the tub, sliding down into the hot water. He let out a long, soft 'ah sound as he slid all the way down. The water was nice and it was just what he needed. His muscles relaxed, as he leaned his head back, staring at the lovely printed ceiling.
The door opened some and a head of a male servant peaked at him, not making direct eye contact with him. " Sorry to disturb your bath but, afterwards we are making you food. You need to get something in your stomach, sir. " He stared at him and nodded slightly, " I'll be down in some. Thank you. " The servant nodded back and was about to close the door, " Where is Genevieve if you don't mind me asking? " The servant immediately peaked back at him, " She is in her room, sir. " He peaked down, " Has she ate? " He was still worried about her. " Yes, we made her food when she got up. But, she got a little sick when she did. " He looked back up at him and sighed, " Alright, thank you again. " The servant once again nodded and closed the door gently back.
James leaned back in the tub once more and dipped down into the water to get his hair wet. A look of worry started to show in his face. He hoped she was alright and that it wasn't serious. It was probably just because she was pregnant, but still. He lifted back up and put a hand on his face, sliding it down to get the water off. Then he slicked his hair back, peaked at the window. Staring out at the trees and other houses from across the street.

Jenny was still in her room, looking out the window. She was watching a couple next door play with their little girl. She was only a toddler but held so much personality. If they didn't do exactly what she wanted, she would stomp her little foot. Of course the parents laughed and did it back, causing the toddler to laugh instead of being mad. It was even able to get a little laugh from Jenny. But then she started to stare at their little daughter. Flashes of how that family could've been her and James came to her mind, causing her to finally look away from the window. Her eyes blinked a little as she tried not to tear up. Her hand went to her hand, the pointing finger rubbing against her bottom lip.
She quietly and slowly got up from the love seat and walked over to another window. But the moment she looked out, she realized she was bored of looking out of windows. It was bringing her more pain than calmness. So now she was wondering what she could do. Usually she would leave the bedroom, but when she looked at the door she felt paralyzed. She didn't want to go out and see James. He was awake and would be out of the bath any time. This made her bend her pointing finger before she bit in anxiousness. Her heart started to race which suddenly caused the pain in her stomach to well up.
The sharp pain came up, causing her eyes to widen before she suddenly fell to her knees. She let out a cry of pain as she held her stomach. Her eyes were closed tight as she waited for the pain to subside.
This is what I get for not relaxing, Jenny thought to herself as she bent over a little. She started to do the breathing the doctor told her to do, which started to work.

James grabbed some shampoo and started to slide it in his hair, scrubbing his scalp. He closed his eyes some because of how nice it felt and then stopped. He gently slid down into the tub once more and got the soap out of his hair. He started to run his hand onto some parts of his body, cleaning himself then he stopped. He heard a cry coming from their room and he widened his eyes a little, " Genevieve?.. " He started to get out of the tub and got a towel, wrapping it around himself and tucking it so it would stay secure. Was someone in the house? Was there something wrong with the baby? His mind started to go into different scenarios as he jolted out of the bathroom and went to their room. He opened the door and saw her there, on the floor, holding her stomach.
" Jenny? Are you okay? What's wrong? " He walked to her some, but still keeping his distance because he knows she still doesn't want him around her. He couldn't just stay in the tub when he heard that. He had to figure out what was wrong. He stood there with a worried look on his face, him still soaked from being in the bath. Leaving somewhat of a puddle on the floor as he stood there. " Do you need me to get the doctor? "

Jenny continued to stay on her knees and breathed, finding that it was helping just like the doctor said. Though she was really wishing she could take more of the medicine he gave her. But he had told her it would be too much and would most likely make the situation worse. So there she stayed, breathing slowly as the sharp pain started to dull. But then she heard her name before she heard fast footsteps. She immediately felt her heart stop as she looked up just in time to see James come into the room. Her eyes looked at him with a bit of fear, but mostly surprise. She honestly had no idea how he could've heard her. And he must have heard her with the way he was looking at her. Which meant she had cried out louder than she thought.. That made her curse to herself.
He asked what was wrong and walked to her, she cowered just slightly before he stopped walking towards her. She took in how he was only wearing a towel, and normally that would've made her blush, but today was different. All she could think was how he was creating a puddle underneath him. Something he never would do normally. Her eyes looked back at his face when he asked if he should get the doctor. Immediately she shook her head.
"N-no, I-I'm just having the normal pain.. The doctor would not be able to do much. He has told me to just breathe when this happens.. It-It should pass," Jenny said before she winced in pain when another sharp pain came. She took in a deep breath before letting it out. Her eyes looked at the floor for a moment as her hand on her stomach held her robe a bit tighter. "I-I'm sorry for disturbing your bath. I did not intend for you to hear me," Jenny apologized before she closed her eyes family and took time to calm herself down so that pain would stop.
Once she did that, it calmed down a bit, and once it did she finally looked back up at James. "More importantly, you are soaked... You are leaving a puddle," Jenny said as she tried to make light of the situation. Which was weird, she had just wanted to run away from him a few moments ago. But something told her to joke with him, and she did it without hesitation. Was she going mad?

" N-no, I-I'm just having the normal pain.. The doctor would not be able to do much. He has told me to just breathe when this happens.. It-It should pass. " He did a relieved sigh. Peaking down at the ground, slicking his hair back some, causing more water to drop into the floor. He held the towel up some as it started to untangle and peaked back at her. She was in so much pain and him standing there probably caused it to get worse. His dark blue eyes stared into hers for a moment. Her eyes told a story every time he looked into them. Especially the past couple months, the sadness was more and more noticeable. He peaked back down, not wanting to see it.
"I-I'm sorry for disturbing your bath. I did not intend for you to hear me. More importantly, you are soaked... You are leaving a puddle. " He kept his eyes off of her, hearing what she said. She was apologizing for interrupting his bath? Why did she apologize? He didn't care, he was just worried about her. The his eyes went to the puddle, seeing it below his feet. It started to get bigger as he watched the drops of water go into it. He stopped though, realizing the tone in her voice. She was making jokes to him? Why was she being like that, he thought she was angry with him? He shook it off and sighed some, scratching the back of his head, " Don't apologize. I was just worried about you, I was already done anyway. " He walked to the bathroom and got another towel, walking back to the puddle and laid it on top. Letting it soak up the water, " I'm sorry for the mess. Typical of me, huh? " He smirked a little, chuckling softly. He walked to his dresser and grabbed some underwear, going back to the bathroom and dropped the towel, sliding them on. He grabbed the towel and started to dry himself off.
" Do you want me to get you anything? " He peaked at her some but, then looked away.

The moment she heard him say he was worried about her, Jenny's expression went into confusion. He was worried about her? Been a long time since I have heard that, Jenny thought to herself as she slowly looked away from him, feeling whatever happy moment she had just felt falter. He then walked off to the bathroom, got another towel and started to clean his puddle. She peeked up at him a little when he suddenly made a joke as well. A small, but sad smile formed on her lips. "Very typical," Jenny said lightly before she saw him going to the dresser. He grabbed some underwear before moving to the bathroom to put them on.
There her smile disappeared before she forced herself to get up. She then walked to her vanity slowly, and held herself up there. James then walked back out and asked if she wanted him to get her anything. This made her peek up at him a little. "There is a lot you could get me," Jenny said with a light tone before she no longer looked at him. It was true, he could give her back the happy marriage that they once had. That is what she wanted, but what she wanted the most was answers.. Answers to everything. She closed her eyes as she breathed in and out.
"What did I do, James? What did I do to make you want other women?" Jenny suddenly asked as this was the one thing that she asked herself every day. "I-I am trying to figure out what I have done wrong, but I just can not," Jenny continued before she lifted her head a little but still did not look at him. "We were happy a couple of months ago... So please, tell me what I did wrong.." Jenny said before she quickly hid her face from him when she felt tears falling down her cheeks.
And as she tried to fight the tears, her hand that was on the vanity curled into a light fist.

" Very Typical. " Her remark caused him to smile. He sometimes missed the times that they would joke and tease with each other. He thought of her as his best friend and his wife. The memories poured into his mind once more, causing his smile to fade. They were no longer best friends, sadly. They were mostly just dealing with each other and he was the cause of it. It was him not feeling the same feeling as he did. Him not realizing that he was breaking the person that loved him the most. He leaned his head against the side of the wall and crossed his arms, staring off somewhat.
" There is a lot you could get me. " He snapped back into reality and peaked at her, listening now. " What did I do, James? What did I do to make you want other women? I-I am trying to figure out what I have done wrong, but I just can not. We were happy a couple of months ago... So please, tell me what I did wrong. " He paused, realizing she asked him once again what she did wrong. It was not her that was the problem, it was him. He got a little agitated, speaking softly though, " Jenny, you did nothing wrong, it's all me. " He sighed and peaked down, " I just feel like we are drifting apart. " He felt horrible for saying that to her, but it was true. Nothing was the same anymore. Them talking, looking at each other, going out - nothing.
He gently put a hand on his face, sighing once again," So, please... stop saying you did something wrong. " He walked to the bed and sat down. He didn't want another argument to start, but he felt in his gut that it was coming.

"I just feel like we are drifting apart."
Those words felt like daggers in her heart as she kept her face hidden from him. She watched as a few tears fell from her eyes and onto the vanity. But she made sure to keep her breathing steady. She didn't need another scene. She wiped her eyes with her free hand before she peeked up at him from her mirror. He sat on the bed, sighed and begged her to stop saying she did something wrong. Which agitated her. Every time he told her that, she felt like he was just dancing around the subject. But she was really in no way shape or form to have another fight, so she kept herself calm. She sniffled before wiping her eyes once more before she turned around and leaned against the vanity. But she kept her head down.
She could tell he was a bit agitated due to the fact she asked him the same question. "I'm sorry, I really do not want to fight," Jenny said before she sighed and felt tears well up again. "I just... James, I still love you very much and these past few months have been a nightmare. You with your drinking and sleeping with women other than me.. I know I have not been a peach, but I am trying to make you happy.. I feel us drifting apart as well, but I really have to wonder if it is you who is the one who is drifting apart. Because I am still here. I," Jenny sighed as she could feel herself getting overwhelmed.
"Look," Jenny suddenly said as she was going deep into her mind. She was going back to something she had thought of a long time ago. The night after he had slapped her she wanted to tell him he could have any girl he wanted.. He would be able to do anything, but she wanted just one thing again. To see the love in his eyes that she saw on their wedding night.
So there she sighed hard before she looked up at him suddenly, tears falling down her face as she finally let herself go. "You want to know what you could get me? You can give me the look you gave me on our wedding night, the look that showed that you loved me and only me. You can have all the girls you want if I can just see that look from you one more time.. You can deny this if you want, and I will understand. But that is what I ask of you. Because I am having this baby even if it does end up killing. And that means if my last memory has to be of a evening before I fully lost you, then so be it.. I want just want to be able to tell our baby that we did love each other at one point in our lives," Jenny said before she stopped rambling. More tears well up in her eyes before she finally looked away from him.
"You are free to deny.. I will await your answer," Jenny said as she no longer wanted to talk. She turned and slowly headed towards the door.

" I'm sorry, I really do not want to fight. I just... James, I still love you very much and these past few months have been a nightmare. You with your drinking and sleeping with women other than me.. I know I have not been a peach, but I am trying to make you happy.. I feel us drifting apart as well, but I really have to wonder if it is you who is the one who is drifting apart. Because I am still here. I- Look. You want to know what you could get me? You can give me the look you gave me on our wedding night, the look that showed that you loved me and only me. You can have all the girls you want if I can just see that look from you one more time.. You can deny this if you want, and I will understand. But that is what I ask of you.

I want just want to be able to tell our baby that we did love each other at one point in our lives. You are free to deny.. I will await your answer. "
He listened to her, hearing of what she wanted from him. The look from their wedding night, the night where they made love to each other. He sat there, letting the images run through his mind. It was one of the best nights of his life, where so much love was spread. He felt sick, mostly because of how she put it. Hearing her say that it would be the last memory she would ever have. He took his hand down from his face and peaked at her, seeing her start to walk away. He wanted to give her her wish, because even though this would be the last time. He still loved and cared for her, wanting to make her happy, even if it was just a little.
He got up from his seat on the bed, walking to her. He grabbed her hand gently and his dark blue eyes stared at her, " I want too, Jenny. " He tilted his head, " I don't want you to think that I don't love you, you would just be living with a lie. Don't look at this as your last memory, look at it as me just loving you as I always have and always will. " He walked to her some, as she turned to him, brushing her hair behind her ear to get a better look at her face, " I just want you to be happy again. "

Jenny was just about to grab the doorknob when she felt Jame grab her hand. She stopped and immediately turned at him in shock. Her bright blue eyes stared into his dark ones as he started to speak. Her eyes widened when he agreed to do what she asked. Her heart stopped and she looked up at her husband with nothing but shock. She was really expecting him to say no. Jenny blinked as a few tears fell from her eyes.
"Don't look at this as your last memory, look at it as me just loving you as I always have and always will."
Jenny felt herself shaking as she turned her body to fully face them. He then lightly brushed her hair behind her ear, giving him a better look at her. He then told her he just wanted her to be happy again. Blue eyes finally glazed over with the tears as she felt her heart soar a little with what he said. Her right hand hesitantly lifted itself up and placed it on his cheek, cupping it gently. "I am not forcing you, right?" Jenny asked, showing that she cared for him and never wanted to force anything upon him. "Because I love you too, James, and I never want to hurt you.." Jenny said as her thumb brushed against his cheek lightly before it slowly went down to his chest.
There she felt his toned chest before she looked down to realize he was actually only wearing his underwear. This made her blush a little before looking away from him slightly. She blinked a little before laughing just lightly as she found it a bit funny she was blushing at looking at her husband. She had seen bunch of times before.. But she knew it was because she hadn't seen him at all lately, so it felt like something new. But the thought also made her a bit sadder.. She then looked back up at him and slowly dropped the wall she had been giving him.
Her expression turned into one that was scared and begged for her worries to be taken away. "I am so scared, James... Please just take these worries away. Please," Jenny whispered, begging him to erase all of the worry in her head.

" I am not forcing you, right? Because I love you too, James, and I never want to hurt you.. " James smiled at her, feeling her hand on his cheek. He gently kissed it and peaked at her. It's been a while since he felt her touch like this, so it was nice. " You're not forcing me, I want to do this. I'm kind of afraid that I'm going to hurt you. " He peaked down at her stomach. He gently put his hand there, a smile appeared again. he still couldn't believe he would be a father soon. He hoped for a girl, so she would be strong and graceful, just like her mother. But, if he did get a boy, he would teach him to be brave and always protect the ones he loved. To teach him not to become like his father. He dropped his hand back and stared back into her eyes.
He started to study her as her eyes started to graze his body, seeing a small blush appear on her cheeks. He smirked a little, letting out a soft chuckle. He knew this would be knew to her since they haven't made love in so long.
" I am so scared, James... Please just take these worries away. Please. " James heard that and immediately, locked his lips with hers. Putting a hand on her lower back, pulling her close to him. He felt her body close to him, feeling his wife again for the first time in forever. He forgot how she felt, slowly starting to crave it. He started to move his kisses to her neck, sucking slightly. He kept her close to him, sliding her robe off her shoulder some as he roughly kissed her skin.

When James kissed her hand, Jenny felt relaxed a little. Her saddened face seemed to falter just a little. But when he placed a hand on her stomach, she instantly felt the feeling of butterflies in her. But these butterflies were in her heart, not in her stomach like others would have it. This was because she hadn't had help felt it just yet. She didn't have much of a bump, but due to how skinny she was, it could be seen. Jenny shook her head at him a little.
"You are not going to hurt me, I'll let you know if you do. But I am certain sure you will not," Jenny said as she smiled up at him.
Then right after she begged James to take her worries away, he leaned down and immediately pressed his lips against her. Her eyes closed as her hands laid on his chest. Only to wrap her arms around him when he pulled her close to him. Her cheeks seemed to blush a deep red color that was very new to her cheeks again. She felt her husband's body against him and instantly shuddered at how wonderful it felt. I missed this," She thought to herself.
The taste of his lips were intoxicating, and she found herself wanting more of them. But when he moved his kisses to her neck, her head fell back a little as she let out a soft moan. Her blonde hair tickled his hands gently due to how long it was. And when she felt him slide her robe off of her shoulder, she moved her head to give him more access to there.
Soft moans escaped from her lips. "James," She whispered before she gently moved away from him just to kiss him back. Once her lips were pressed against his once more, she moved herself even closer to his body. Her breasts now rubbing against his chest. Her robe then slid down to her elbows. Revealing more of her silky nightgown she had underneath.
She pulled away when she needed to breathe, but when she caught her breath she started to return kisses to his neck. Just like how he was doing it to her. Her nails gently scratched his back as her arms were still wrapped around him.
