I’m looking for Something in Blue
Something real tiny
The baby’s brand new


Allison stepped into Children’s Palace with a smile on her face. Of all the places she’d shopped in, this was the one she’d least considered. Sure, she’d always liked children and had wanted to have some of her own, but as she’d gotten older, having a child of her own had turned into a distant dream.

Looking around, she spied some onesies with sayings on them. After looking around, she spied one that said ‘Lock Up Your Daughters’. Giggling to herself at Greg’s reaction, she began picking through them, taking the funniest ones for Nate, their son.

Allison had been thrilled when she’d found out she was pregnant, but a little worried about what Greg would say since they’d never discussed having children, but to her surprise, Greg was just as thrilled. When she’d asked him about it, his reply had been ‘I’m the guy with a bum leg and I still managed to knock up the most beautiful doctor in this hospital!’ Greg had gone with her to every doctor’s appointment unless he had a case, helped her pick out baby furniture and even tried to put the crib together himself before asking Wilson for help.

He has his father’s nose and his chin
We once were hot lovers
Now we’re more like friends


Nathaniel James House was born two weeks early screaming at the top of his lungs, delivered by his daddy and his godfather. Right from the beginning, everyone had commented about how much he resembled Greg in looks, though he seemed to have gotten his personality from his mother. Nate was a decidedly unfussy baby, he didn’t really need to fuss, he already had his mommy, daddy, godfather, godmother and just about every nurse at the hospital wrapped around his finger.

Greg, much to everyone’s surprise, turned out to be an excellent and devoted father. She’d rarely had to push him to help with the baby. He was always willing to help with feedings and diaper changes. He loved playing with Nate and showed off pictures whenever he could.

The only flaw in this perfect picture as far as Allison could see was…her. She still hadn’t lost her baby weight, no matter how hard she tried and she worried that Greg wasn’t as attracted to her as he used to be. Plus, they hadn’t been able to have sex since her eighth month when it had become too uncomfortable for her to have regular intercourse and Greg was a very virile man, they used to have sex at least twice a day, barring cases. Now, they hadn’t had sex in months and she worried that Greg was going to start looking around.

It didn’t help that Thirteen was trying to take advantage of the situation. Allison had seen her flirting with Greg and showing off her slender body with no baby fat or stretch marks and making sly innuendos about being available after work if Greg needed her. The whole thing made Allison want to take the bitch out into the parking lot and have a good old fashioned fistfight like she’d seen growing up in Chicago. But then she ran the risk of being arrested for assualt and battery and losing her job, even though she was sure Lisa would be on her side, since she knew that the hospital administrator didn’t like Thirteen any more than Allison herself did.

Don’t tell me that’s
Just what old married folks do


If Thirteen thought she was just gonna waltz in and steal Greg away right out from under Allison Marie Cameron-House’s nose, she had another thing coming. She hadn’t fought so long to have Greg in her life to just let Thirteen and her perfect body and easy-open legs just steal him away.

She picked out a few more pieces of clothing and got some booties before heading to the check out lane, eager to get back to her boys who were enjoying some ‘man time’ as Greg called it. ‘Man time’ being watching sports on ESPN with Wilson and telling Nate all about the players, even though the two month old didn’t understand any of it.

Allison suddenly brightened as she took her receipt and headed out to her car, her three month post-partum visit was coming up and if everything went right, she’d be cleared to have sexual relations again. She grinned as she thought ‘Maybe it’s time for another shopping spree in Victoria’s Secret.’

The End.
